[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] blitz13:
I bought a European Diamond back in September 2008 with superb lcd quality. Now I got it replaced under warranty, but the new one has awful contrast, especially when you look at it from an angle (45 degrease or more), it’s just horrible.

I actually managed to talk to the technician who worked at my phone. He said that all phones manufactured in the beginning had the bright screens, but HTC switch to this, probably cheaper yellowish screen soon after, and all replacement screens he gets from HTC in England are this low quality version. He even shown me a new phone whit this same yellowish screen, so I don’t think is country specific.

I am going to send HTC technical support an email, but I am not getting my hopes high yet. Overall I am greatly disappointed in HTC quality products, as this is not my first big issue whit this phone. Five days after I’ve purchased it, the mother board died and the replacement one worked … one day until it died also.

So if you have the bright lcd version, think twice before replacing it. If I known this would happen, I would have stuck with the original one, even though it had some issues.

I got mine a couple of weeks ago,came from hong kong,and had russian cd and booklet's!!

Had official 2.03.456 rom WWE installed.

My screen has very white white's and black black's,great contrast,easily the best quality pda phone screen I've owned colour/contrast wise,glad of this because this was the only reason I chose it over the HD which from the video comparison's between the two show the HD has grey black's and yellow white's,look's washed out.

Hope I don't have to get my diamond screen changed otherwise it's best feature will be gone looking at the picture's above......I feel lucky.

Just a pity the screen require's soo much stylus pressure to use.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mancsoulja:
It mite of been me that made that point in an old thread months n months ago, i work in the online returns department for o2, there was talk of us stocking the diamond, but the suits decided not 2 after vodafone stopped stocking the handset after it was said that atleast 40% of the screens produced in 2008 were made in china for just a portion of the price of the other screens that was made in taiwan they seem to be the ones with the yellow tint issue! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mancsoulja:
If you cause enough trouble they will replace it, customers like you need to let htc know that ur not gunna put up with such low quality components! not for the price htc expect you to pay amnyway! i wish you good look in your quest :D

Install Advanced Config and set Pressure Threshold and Finger Pressure under section HTC TouchFLO at 80866, and touchscreen is super sensitive.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] gerryjoson:
Yes have messed around with advanced config,although I didn't change the value's as much as you suggested,still is the least sensitive winmo device screen I've used,it's fine with finger use,with the stylus it's annoying and a lot of non registering for me,and watching a lot of youtube video's on it before I bought it,noticed a lot of missed tap's from the reviewer's also.

Still,it's a pretty screen to look at though.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] grt67DFqyu:
I have the 23+, not rooted, all OEM, and I can't get into the recovery mode for some reason.

- Power off, wait, hold vol up+power, release power when the Samsung logo appears - the device starts normally.

- Power off, wait, hold vol up+power, release both when just the Samsung logo appears - starts normally.

- Power off, wait, hold vol up+power, release both when Samsung powered by Knox appears - starts normally.

- Power off, wait, hold vol down+power, device starts in safe mode.

Never had that before in any devices. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] zopostyle:
Try doing it with the USB cable plugged in and the other part in a computer
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] grt67DFqyu:
I read somewhere that the vol up+power only works when the phone is connected to a PC with the USB cable, I tried it and couldn't enter bootloader. What's even more weird, I turned on USB debugging, then did ADB reboot recovery and the device rebooted normally, not into recovery. I'm running out of ideas. I'll try to update my adb, then see what happens.

Edit

The adb from latest platform-tools didn't help, but I got there in the end.

1. Connect the device with a USB cable to your PC.

2. Power off the phone.

3. As soon as the Samsung logo disappears during powering down, press vol up+power and hold until you get into recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] zopostyle:
Hum that's strange. I don't know what's your intention to enter in recovery, but if want to keep using the stock rom, maybe reflash your phone with odin to avoid any software issue.

[General Questions and Answers] martian20:
The Walmart tablets available for <$70 are bootloader unlockable here in Canada.

I was wondering if flashing a GSI rom such as lineage is worth doing/ has been done before on these walmart tablets?

I may try this in the future for the privacy benefits, but currently would be used by the parent.

I only have experience with flashing officially supported devices with lineage os
[General Questions and Answers] Chickenkillla81:
I'm not 100% on the 11 inch but there is not any type of dev support for these tablets that I know of. I have the 2023 onn 7 inch and there is nothing. Unfortunately there isn't any kind of way to get the firmware for these devices either so it's very difficult to root. Mine is bootloader unlocked as well but that's as far as I've gotten with it. Kinda sucks because these tablets aren't really that bad. A cousin ROM and root would make these run amazingly since it would reduce system resources. You can search online and try to find a way to pull your boot partition and then patch with magisk. Or try to pull the firmware yourself and build your own ROM. There are tutorials for that. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
[General Questions and Answers] martian20:
thanks. I found a preinstalled (chinese spyware?) app only visible with the non-stock launcher, called "HCN DeviceTest" with all the permissions enabled by default. I used the Neo Launcher (FOSS).

How to fix Redmi 9A problem communicating Google server
[General Questions and Answers] astrocat56:
Due to a combination of panic and not really understanding how whatsapp works, I've lost a days worth of unread messages that I'd like to recover.

To explain what's happened:

My Pixel 6's display died on me last weekend rendering it unusable.

I bought a new Xiaomi Redmi A2 to use whilst I repair the Pixel.

I installed whatsapp and opted not restore from a google drive backup. After initialisation, I had a load of messages awaiting me. Some of them were "waiting for this message", which I thought was strange. So I thought I'd reinstall whatsapp (deleting the app data in the process) and set it up with the backup.

The old messages were there, but the messages that had appeared after that initial initialisation were missing. I panicked and reinstalled it again without the back up. I was greeted with an empty conversation history.

Reading up on whatsapp, the app uses a "store and forward" mechanism, so I reckon those initial messages had been waiting to be delivered to a device.

I want to see if I can recover the app data from that first installation (the com.whatsapp folder)

Now apparently android doesn't really delete files, it un-allocates them, and there are programs that could recover these unallocated files, so I'm hoping this is possible.

I found a program called Mobikin doctor on this forum and gave it try. I tried the nonrooted recovery option which didn't recover anything useful.

Would root access allow full recovery?

I've never really attempted rooting, but I've found a guide to root my device. Apparently rooting also involves wiping the device itself.

My question is, am I barking up the wrong tree? I acknowledge the chance that the data may be overwritten (although I hope not, I've barely used the the storage capacity). But if there's a chance I'd like to give it a try.

Any thoughts?
[Touch HD General] anotheruser123:
As title really.

I've done a search on the forum and it seems there is software available that will record calls, but this will only work if the hardware itself supports it. Does anyone know if the Touch HD will work with any software to support call recording?

The other work around I discovered doing a search on the forum was to put the phone into speakerphone mode and use call recording software, but this is obviously not ideal.

So, what's the best way to record calls on the Touch HD?

Thanks :)
[Touch HD General] TORB:
You got it in one. Thats currently the only way.
[Touch HD General] zSpinner:
Not quite

Resco Audio recorder works fine for me, once configured it collects all calls as mp3's in a folder of your choice (e.g. on sd).

it's not freeware though, but no speaker needed.
[Touch HD General] speed_pour:
Not technically sure about the Blackstone, but I have both a Polaris and Raphael. I've seen comments about both of those phones being unable to record, yet I've never had a problem recording with VITO Audio Notes (without using the speakerphone trick). It's also a commercial product. If both of those phones can do it, I would suspect the Blackstone is probably also capable.

@speed_pour,

Please can you explaine the speakerphone trick, I also use vito audio notes! Today I see this trick, without using the speakerphone:eek:, for the second time also in this post, but I have no idea how it works!

I can only record both voices when I activate speakerphone in settings, if I don't, I only can record my own voice during a call????!!!!!

Thanks in advance!
[Touch HD General] speed_pour:
<shrugs>

Don't know what to tell you, I just made a call 5 minutes ago on that phone, and without turning on the speakerphone it's still got both voices on there. The other side's voice is much lower volume, but it can't be sound bleeding over because it also works when I'm using a bluetooth headset.

Spoiler content hidden.

Spoiler content hidden.

In the spirit of moving custom ROM development to the Galaxy A21s [SM-A217M], here's a OneUI ROM port I just created based on the latest stock OEM firmware for Android 13. It's very much a work in progress, but I hope it helps pave the way for even more custom ROMs for this device.

Notes

This is a port ROM of the Galaxy S21+ 5G version.

No kernel or other recovery is included, for this use your desired kernel or modification.

This ROM is for the SM-A217M A21s LTM version not A217F.

Bootloop A217F.

Only one SUPER is included which can be installed A217M in desired recovery.

There is a SSRM warning message, your solution is to remove the "SamsungDeviceHealth", however, it will not count battery usage by your apps.

Does not work

UQH Optimizer (does not work).

Bluetooth Audio/Media/Call (not working).

Glitches (Blur effect cause), solution: Without updating "Accessibility App" in the Galaxy Store, disable "effects and reduced transparency mode".

Scamsung Camera (crashing) use Gcam (preference) or use another camera app; API2 Limited for exynos 850.

Blue light filter (does not work).

AOD (does not work).

You tell me.

Characteristics

DeX (use in PC mode) A21s does not support HDMI transmitter

OneUI is an interface owned by Samsung, I do not endorse or develop software that violates the manufacturer's rights, installation without due prior knowledge can have serious consequences, do the procedure at your own risk. The procedure was only tested on the A217M variant and not the A217F test on that model at your own risk.

Software information

Base: G996BXXU5ZVHG

Device: A217MUBSDBWI1/SBDWK2

Android: 13

OneUI: 5.0

Fingerprint: samsung/t2sxxx/essi:13/TP1A.220624.014/G996BXXU5ZVHG:user/release-keys

Device binary: UB/SB (11) (A217M)

Binary-based device: U5 (G996B)

Instructions

You must essentially be on the latest binary that this ROM port at your vendor was based on, which in this case is binary 11 or UB/SB as Samsung often calls their non-numbered binaries. It is essential to have 80% battery and have the necessary knowledge, if not, then stop this procedure.

Initially the bootloader must be unlocked and you must do the first configuration connected to the internet to avoid KG Bypass errors.

After the first initial setup, go to about phone > software information > build number and tap 7 times in a row, then developer options should appear and check for "Bootloader already unlocked".

Installation

Enter Recovery Mode (TWRP)

Clear data (Format data >> yes) remove force encryption.

Reset recovery

Transfer super.img extracted from rom.zip file to INTERNAL_STORAGE

Flash super.img in SUPER (TWRP)

Reset recovery

GoTo > Advanced > Terminal > use "multidisabler"

Reboot the system

Enjoy.....

As I mentioned above, there is no kernel for this ROM, the kernel that must be used is from the device itself, it is just a zipped file containing a super partition that is not a friendly kernel.

There is no source code for ROM ports my friend, just device tree of devices.

This is the source code of a kernel that can be used on the A217M, it is not mine, it belongs to Doz Kawa, I still maintain that I do not have the source code for it.
