[Touch HD General] Zuber:
So does this answer the GPS lag question people were asking ?

I'm not familiar with the issue. Was it Lag as in time to get a lock or lag as in location information was very slow to update and so several seconds out of date or something ?

Zuber
[Touch HD General] gogol:
GPS Lag = slow update ... so, it is several seconds out of sync with the actual location.

I dont know if that answered the GPS lag. I think it is early to tell from 1 test.

Although, it looks good (thanks to the tester!).

Probably we have to wait after several tests from several users. Next week will be plenty of new owners, especially from Europe (NL, UK, etc.).

I dont own Diamond nor Raphael (I own Kaiser), so I have never experienced this GPS lag.
[Touch HD General] hrcro:
Look at the attachment
[Touch HD General] fdevogel:
The GPS seemed the same as on my kaiser, did not notice a delay. So imo there is no lag (although I never expierienced it either)
[Touch HD General] kalhimeo:
thanks to all of you reviewing the device here.

could you tell us where you did buy your device and its price ? (website of online shop or address of local reseller)

Thank you very much
[Touch HD General] gogol:
You can order from here:

But I dont know if they ship internationally.

@fdevogel

Hello, have you got a English or German Userguide on CD for the Touch HD?

Maybe you can post it here or mail to me?

I'm in the same position, that's why I'm also worried about the mobipocket.
[Touch HD General] kersh:
wow, thats a GREAT price, but I dont undestand german/netherland to buy mine from there.

Any other site with that prices and web in english?
[Touch HD General] fdevogel:
Can't find any english sites in holland.

The cheapest is:

http://www.bestelmaar.nl/bestelm/mc...PRD&art_id=hhdbl&ab_agid=1&M5Referer=tweakers 549 euros... (but in dutch aswell)

Don't know if the dutch shops ship abroad (you can off course send them an email, every dutchman speaks english ;)
[Touch HD General] johnkorver:
I love it, the big long screen is ideal for reading. I can live without the use of the d-pad and the action button.

If I have time I will post some screenshots
[Touch HD General] johnkorver:
OKE, the GPS;

The time to a fix after TomTom startup is between 12-16 sec, depending of the area (tree's, etc.)

No delay when driving, the graphics are smooth.

And.. the screen is gorgeous for navigation...

So, when I compare the HD to my Diamond..... I didnt use the Diamond for navigation because it took ages to get a fix (more than a minute)

And I never before had a fix in my house with a HTC device with internal GPS (not even my X7500).

So yes, the GPS is good.
[Touch HD General] johnkorver:
No question is stupid.

Transciber is included and works just fine.

Never use it though.
[Touch HD General] johnkorver:
It is usable. But the TF 3D is rather speedy and I am getting used to it ;-))

I now use it together with second-today so I can have the best of both worlds
[Touch HD General] johnkorver:
The screen is on par with the diamond. The screen of the Pro was a bit yellowish.

Viewing angles ar almost 180 degrees in both directions. The color sat is good, the maximum brightness is the sama as the Diamond
[Touch HD General] johnkorver:
I think, judging from the first day, the battery is good.

Much better than the Diamond, a bit better than the pro.

But, its just one day.
[Touch HD General] johnkorver:
I am also a physician and can tell you the skyscape programs, epocrates, Merckmedicus, mobipocket all work fine.

This device is fast, the screen is good.

I will psot some screenshots later.
[Touch HD General] skinniebone:
have you tried pocketnes on it.
[Touch HD General] gogol:
Hi John,

This is interesting. I have never own TF3D device and I have never tried it, so I dont know how it works.

When I read about TF3D, a bit of let down because it could not display multiple-appointments in the "home screen" (for example, TodayAgenda).

Is your method below of using SecondToday provide a workaround? I meant, what I really need is a "shortcut" from the home screen to view the appointments (TodayAgenda screen). Is it possible to achieve this while still using TF3D?

... Just a "touch" of a button, or something, in the home screen to display TodayAgenda ... :)

Gosh! I really don't understand why HTC does not think about this ...
[Touch HD General] J273:
This may be a daft question ,as they are totally different but hows it compare to your iphone 3g?

Ive always used WM devices and switched to the iphone and have never looked back.

I want another WM device though and just bought a X1 but am disappointed with the small screen.

Hows the HD compare to the Iphone?

Thanks
[Touch HD General] gogol:
One question more :)

When you view / activate the "people" tab from the TF3D, can you view somekind of "photo contacts" like in the old HTC HOME ?

You know, the 9 photo shortcuts to make a call or sms ... etc.

I have read the Touch HD manual, but I cant find it available. In the people tab, I saw only 1 big foto where we need to "scroll" to find the contact.

Thanks :)
[Touch HD General] Olaviman:
Hello, I'm from finland and new here. Going to buy a HD when available. I want know is it possible to customise touchflo main menu and remove tabs like stock quotes or whatever they are? I don't need that on my mobile so I want get rid of it :D
[Touch HD General] TomF1979:
I´ve seen it on a Youtube video that you can remove and arrange the Menu sequence in TF3D.

What with productivity. How much % in Coreplayer with a what video defenition?
[Touch HD General] johnkorver:
The video seemed fluid, but the benchmark isn't ;-((

Average speed: 89.90% (100%)

Bench frame rate: 21.575 (24.000)

Bench sample rate: 39630 (44100)

Bench data rate: 1.45 Mbit/s (1.63 Mbit/s)
[Touch HD General] johnkorver:
Thats indeed a difficult question.

I use the Iphone mainly for music, internet, agenda and email.

The HD I use for my work, medical programs, and Mobipocket

I did mainly use the Iphone last month, but I will use the HD more the coming time I think.

The interface of the Iphone is better, but the HD can do more and can multitask. Is almost as fast as my Iphone and I can use TomTom.
[Touch HD General] hrcro:
Thank You very much.

Which settings did you use in menu>tools>preferences>video output?

What options do you have there?
[Touch HD General] johnkorver:
And some screenshots.

I will stop posting here now. My girlfriend wants to throw my HD out of the window and I do have to work :-))

In a few days there will be lot of (dutch) people with Touch HD's.

In my opinion this is the best device made by HTC in a long time.

[Touch HD General] eXodusN:

[Touch HD General] simcarloc:
Hmm, interesting indeed! The question for me is - the HD or SE Xperia X1?

Tough choice in my opinion... :confused:
[Touch HD General] Ascenca83:
Well another question is if the Touch HD will be able to run the panels of the X1. Some days ago I saw a video of a X1 with a TouchFlow-panel. So could it be that also the opposit is possible meaning to run the X1-Panels on a Touch HD? Perhaps it could perform a little bit better as on the X1 becose of the little more amout of ram (HD: 288MB/ X1: 256).

I think I will go for the HD. Finally a device which matches all my desires :-)
[Touch HD General] dickr43:
IGO8 working on HD

I have a Samsung Omnia with IGO8 and installed it on my Touch HD. It works like a charme. So you can use the Omnia IGO8 version on the Touch HD!

Did 2 testdrives today. First fix within seconds! Looks great on the HD's screen!

[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] a-regular-pear:
I've been thinking of unlocking the bootloader and changing the rom to Pixel experience. If I eventually decide to revert back to OOS would it be possible to also re-lock the bootloader?
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] sorin000:
Yes. You can do that via cmd or use the restore tool here: https://xdaforums.com/t/opnord-oos-...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4148415/

Be warned, do not try to relock bootloader untill you are full stock because you might brick the phone and be forced to use the tool i linked above ( i did it once :) )
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] bigfoot300:
I re locked the bootloader when I was on Pixel Experience Rom A11 using avb_custom key .img file. It was optional but I still did it successfully. However, I have not tried to lock bootloader on custom ROM since the 12 ROMs came as it is not mentioned anywhere so it might brick the device. If you want to re lock the BL then you'll have to go back to stock OOS. Try using the unbrick or MSM tool for OP Nord (Specific model/region).

Anyone else the latest Magisk update causes Bootloop when installing modules?

use 24.1, is perfect

Done.
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] wetito:
i have flashed 24.1 using fastboot. for 24.3 fastbiitd is necessary? i ask just i case in the future i will decide update to latest version
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] PonchoNz:
Yep but update it by TWRP
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] PonchoNz:
Done I did it too but when I install a Module called NFS Injector or Magnetar when I restart the device it gives bootloop
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] nguadien:
Then the problem is the modules you installed, not "latest Magisk update" like you stated.

Not all modules work for all devices, each device reacts to modules very differently, so boot loop caused by modules should not be mistaken for the whole Magisk.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] member786:
Hi

I brought a new HTC touch diamond, i have a few problems, i am hoping that some1 will be able to advise me on how to sort this out?

1. Camera quality is very poor

2. when switching on takes abt 1 min to load

3. display goes off when making a call

4. battery last just about a day even though i dont use it much

5. the phone crashes sometimes
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Medulla:
Compared to what? It's a mobile phone camera, it's never going to compare to a dedicated digital camera so if your expectations are too high you'll never be satisfied.

I presume you mean after a soft reset? That's normal, the Diamond isn't just a cellphone, it's effectively a computer and computer's take time to boot up, that's just the way of things. I'm not sure why this is an issue for you because you shouldn't really have to soft reset the thing as part of day-to-day usage anyway so the time it takes should be of little consequence.

That's be design, it's so you don't end up activating any of the phone functions while you've got it pressed against your ear to listen to the call. A lot of people do moan about this but I've never really understood why, you can't see the screen when you've got it pressed against the side of your head anyway so why does it matter if the screen switches off? And even if you do need to see the screen, just hit the power button to toggle it back on again, not a big deal surely?

Yeah, the battery is pretty ****e. The only advice I can offer is to switch off power hungry functions you're not using like wi-fi, HSDPA, Bluetooth etc as those will all hit the battery hard.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Kellione:
im not affected by points 1 - 4 as they are pretty minor to me.

Crashes are what seems to be my main problem as everyday there will be at least 2 crashes where my phone ceases to switch back on from sleep mode and gives a black screen till a soft reset.

After which, I will have no reception whatsoever and further resets will cause my phone to unable to find my SIM card. However, the problem persists till I get 1/2 batt, where i will get my reception back for the rest of the day :confused:

It gets really intermittent sometimes as in sometimes in the morning or sometimes at night, but

never

when im at the shop trying to return it :mad:

just always at least once or twice a day no matter what.

I have already switched to a new diamond twice as I had different problems with every one, each was extremely critical.

so will flashing a cooked rom help? or a new radio?

I have everything on stock as i have to hard reset it at least once a week.

does anyone have any similar problems? or did i just win the lottery 3 times :D

I've started noticing that i had an increased battery consumption under google play services. Not INSANELY high, the highest one is still whatsapp at 20%, however google play services comes a close second at 14% and a long ways from the third at sub 3%. Is it possible that after trying out APKs installed outside the google play store i've gotten a virus that consumes battery under google play services? I looked into the apps installed using app inspector but i didn't recognize any obvious virus apk in the phone. I then ran it with the borderline useless McAffee virus scan and it found nothing. Could it be this is just normal use? I remember when i first got the phone that the battery was a LOT more efficient a few months ago but i haven't been using whatsapp that often like to justify having the battery drain from 100% to 0% in one week to half a week.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Ditch WhatsApp, it's a security risk. FB, Twatter, Instascam... take out the trash. If you can't access, login and use a social media platform by browser alone, don't use it. Time to deep six these self serving platforms.

Google backup Transport can suck down the battery.

Clear data in Google play Services and Framework
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
Yep, Social media apps will suck the battery dry....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 11913111:
hahahahahaha trust me, i think i told you long ago when i was first debloating my phone and i will repeat it. I would take whatsapp out and never touch it again if not because its the primary method of communication in the entire continent.

I cleared data for google play and the framework, hope this one solves my issues since finding the virus without doing a factory reset will be annoying. Is gservices (com.google.process.gservices) required for the phone to work or for the google framework, or can i take it out?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Lol, we've likely had this discussion.

WhatsApp has been banned in India and Russia.

Email, texts or phone is all I use to communicate.

These social apps try to make themselves indispensable like worms in a dog. Fact is they are expendable assets when they become a parasite... which is what they are. They take far more than they give.

Not sure, com.google.process.gservices as such isn't present on my phone.

Verify apks with online Virustotal if any doubt exists.

You're running that phone too fast and loose, it will get tagged sooner or latter. This N10+ running on Pie sees heavy internet usage and hasn't had any malware on it for 2 years. This load will be 2 yo in June, still fast and stable with minimal maintenance. Part of its longevity is because I don't allow social media apps to run on it.

You can try temporarily disabling Google play Services especially at night. Gmail and Playstore need it to work as does Backup Transport. Some 3rd party apps need it to run, which I really don't like and those apps I keep on a very short leash.

Some apps only need it when they first start up.

Normally I run Google play Services only once or twice a day.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 11913111:
im afraid i need google play services because without it i dont get notifications while the phone is locked. It makes some apps work on the background which justifies the battery. What im wondering is if there's any potential virus that could be hidden under the Google apk. Even charging my phone through the PC on USB goes from 7 hours to 24, so im wondering if its just randomly whatsap and google, battery degradation, a virus, or if this is just normal. I even wiped the cache partition just to make sure but it didn't help much.

The sad thing about whatsapp is that here in southamerica where SMS messages cost a **** ton more than anywhere else in the world, its the defacto communication system for everyone or any group, family, friends, or work related.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
If you can use WhatsApp by browser (Brave browser) login, do so.

Do not download anything from that site or members. Any download is a risk from there.

High battery consumption is a common problem on Androids and not necessarily virus or malware related.

What device and OS version are you using?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 11913111:
Samsung Galaxy A-32. Android 11, last updated Jan 1 2022.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
If you don't use Google backup, disable it. Disable Samsung cloud as well if not used.

You can use a package disabler to more effectively stop bloatware from running at boot.

Turn off all carrier, Google and Samsung feedback in settings. Turn off Google Firebase.

Try turning off all power management in Device Care.

Use this setting change:
