[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] zoltar99:
It does fit XDA Ignito from O2, it won't fit the original Touch Diamond, the back fitting is different. So, order this one only if you have an Ignito, otherwise look for a Diamond back case.

My extended battery just died this afternoo after more than 6 days since being charged, and only because I used my phone to listen to internet radio for more than 2 hours (it was 29% this morning). The last mobile phone to last me that long was a Philips with a black and white screen that I had back in 2000 - about 6-7 days. And it didn't have internet, music, office mobile, touch screen or colour screen.

I believe that if the manufacturer would make the back of the case flat, getting rid of the 'hump', a lot more people would buy it as many are being put off by that (see previous posts). But the battery is brilliant. I could go on a week holiday without taking any charger with me :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Riel:
I just have the phone next to me when I go to bed and attach it to charger.

It lasts the whole day with HSDPA and Bluetooth on (for carkit), and even some navigation will work. For car trips I have the car charger.

I never, but then NEVER had any battery-issues in my everyday use. I have a feeling everyone is just not needing the battery.

What is wrong with charging regularly overnight?

And yes, it looks damn ugly.

Oh，come on. you're advertising your ebay shop, right?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] ant611982:
It arrived this morning, doesn't have a "massive hump" and actually feels ok whilst in hand. (Even I was surprised) Just one quick question do you charge yours with the cradle or does your original Ignito charge it no problem?

Thanks

p.s I just got an cradle, usb charger and mains charger that fits the cradle... no instructions ?!?! ah well can't be rocket science can it :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] zoltar99:
If you were referring to me :confused:, you are wrong mate! It's not my shop, I just happened to buy it and found it a good product and thought I could help by posting pictures of it and my experience. If you check my other posts on this forum, you will see I have also bought other products for my Ignito on ebay from other shops.

To ant611982:

I charge mine either using the phone (I got mine without the cradle) or a separate charger I bought on ebay that charges the phone and a spare battery, but doesn't have a cradle. It can charge both the phone and a spare battery at the same time without any problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] ant611982:
Zoltar do you use a case with this extended battery on? I can't seem to find one to fit. ONLY downside.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] zoltar99:
I'm afraid I have the same problem :( I was thinking of buying the invisible shield, but i couldn't find one cut specially for the Ignito.

Edit: I found the following cases that might fit. They are for the Touch Pro, but should fit a thicker Diamond as well. I still have to make up my mind which one to choose. There are others on ebay, but most of them in Hong Kong, and if you are prepared to wait about 2 weeks for delivery, fine.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Belt-Leather-...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

This one seems really good to me.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PDair-Black-L...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

This one is from HK, but it is symilar to the original HTC case and it flexible on the sides.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/L1u-Leather-P...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

This is also from HK but it is a lot cheaper than the others. Looks ok in the pictures, not sure about quality. Not leather though.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] animelover:
I got my battery a few days ago and had used it since then! It's working really great, it feels that my Diamond would run more than doubled as with the stock one and GPS is also working!

Now I love my new device much more! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] rowdy_ruff_boy:
I would rather have this battery over the official one for the extra battery life, but wouldn't be able to live with the cover that comes with it. Anybody know if it'll fit into the offical extended battery case (http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=172103)?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] zoltar99:
It is probably thicker, I don't think it will fit. I too am waiting for a 'normal' back case which will make it look better, but to be honest, I got so accustomed to the more than double battery life, that I hardly use the original 900mAh battery now. For the original Diamond you can find flat back cases, but for the Ignito, I haven't yet seen one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] rowdy_ruff_boy:
Did you find a case that it fitted into? If it goes into a case I don't think I would care after a day or so.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] zoltar99:
I got one similar to this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ORIGINAL-HTC-...14&_trkparms=72:1683|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318 , the phone fits in with the larger battery. I regularly check ebay to see if i can find out a better alternative (and maybe a completely flat backcase :)).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] altcineva2009:
is this The Hunchback of Notre Dame's phone?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] stead:
I used to use my phone a lot for work and found the standard battery wasn't enough when using gps, , and my car charger wouldn't work as the car i was using at the time didn't have a working cigerate lighter...

also some people may want to go away for the weekend and be happy knowing their phone will just work

i've been tempted by the 2000 for my diamond, but looking for extended ones as my g/f has the o2 version

some people buy phones for function, looks are secondary, i feel this battery serves for people who like the functional phones ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] zoltar99:
2000mAh extended battery with flat back cover available at last!

Guys, I have good news! I have just ordered the following one from ebay, I've been looking for this for ages: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370185286856 . An extended battery with a flat cover! Price was about £20 including delivery. So no more hunchback! No more complaints. And long battery life! Suddenly I love my Ignito a lot more :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] stead:
well this looks tempting ;)

curious to why the picture of the battery says 1800 tho

impressed if it is only 2mm thicker than the original!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] desiaddict:
Hey bro nice if its only 2mm thick with more juice (2000 mah).

Bro can u give some pics and feedback like its charging time, and usage period, etc :)

Cause i am interested in it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] zoltar99:
I'll post some pictures when I receive it, it may be a week since it's coming from HK. As for charging time, I already have a 2000mAh battery which takes about 2h to charge fully. If I only use it for calls and sms and with the phone set to check for emails once an hour, I get easily four days. If i use it to listen to internet radio, mp3 etc, I can be sure that it won't die on me before I get home in the evening. Usage times also depend on how good the reception is, for example with the original 900mAh battery I used to get about 2 days where I live, but when I went o the office, the battery would die before 2PM, due to poor 3G reception..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] dood:
I have just bought a 2000mAh battery

I've just got one of these too.. the hunchback version. I am very pleased with it. First charge was Friday morning (17th) when the battery arrived.. and I have been using the 'phone more than I usually would, to see how it fairs. Very impressed so far, with plenty of charge to see me through, maybe the next couple of days???!!!! We shall see!

I am not bothered by the 'lump' on the back.. It still slides in my pocket easily.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] zoltar99:
Flat cover (no hunchback)

I have finally received the flat back cover ordered about 2 weeks ago. The good thing is it fits nicely and the phone looks much better. The bad thing was that the guy on ebay advertised it as 2000mAh battery and it came with a 1800mAh. I would have bought it anyway, but I hate when people lie about a product, therefore I will probably leave him a neutral feedback. Anyway, I'm pleased about how the phone looks with this new cover. Have a look for yourselves.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Hazkirby:
Thanks for the info and pictures.

I got my Ignito last week, battery is shocking but the reason I chose it over is because of its size, it's almost perfect I wouldn't touch the looks.

If anyone finds an alternative that fits the standard case you must let me know!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] matrix77:
@zoltar99

What is the averege battery life for this battery now?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] ducamie:
same here

i really wont compromise

half the reason i got the diamond was because i can be a nerd but get away with it since it looks good. i dont want a chunky pda.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] zoltar99:
With the 2000mAh battery, with phone set to check emails once an hour between 7AM-10PM and using the phone mainly for phone calls I get 4-5 days.

Otherwise, I can listen to internet radio for 6-8 hours and still have some power left in the battery in the evening.

By comparison, the 1800mAh battery lasts me about 3-4 days.

The good thing is, even if the battery is down to 20-25% and I'm away from home, I know that I will have enough power left until I get back home so I don't have to worry. GPS reception is as good as with the 900mAh battery.

This phone does everything I need, but I think it will be my first and last Windows Mobile phone, although I have created shortcuts for the programs I use most and customised it a lot, I still find I have to go through a lot of screens when I need to make a call. The phone function of this phone ( lol ) is the most difficult thing about it. I have my eyes on the Palm Pre or one of the coming Android phones.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] sky2009:
Sprint version of the Diamond?

Hello!

I was interested in buying a better battery for my HTC Touch Diamond. The only thing is that it's with SPRINT and I was wondering would these batteries shown fit the SPRINT Diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] dieselboy:
may be this is because you havnt found the shortcuts?

try this,

whatever screen is showing on your phone right now ignore it and press the call button on the phone. this will switch immediately to the phone mode.

now, say you wish to call dave, using the keypad screen (you might need to maximise this) type 228 which will spell most of the word dave (if you have someone called dave in your phone.

there you go, within 1 keypress your into the phone, and a few more has found you the contact you wanted to dial.

this is way easier than going to "contacts" and trying to scroll through.

hope this helps. windows mobiles are great. if only they were more powerful and had more ram they would be better still.

i remember having a work HTC that had a 200mhz cpu with windows mobile 5.

DAM this was slow, and sometimes it couldnt handle making a noise when it received a message. but this was a few years ago now.

How do i create a program icon shortcut? I have tried searching but It must be too simple lol
[Touch HD General] ikkezelf1:
Open file explorer

click and hold the program until the pop-up windows shows.

Then navigate to the location you want.

select 'menu' -> 'edit' -> 'paste shortcut'
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JPW:
Hi all

Does anyone have a program or know where I can get one from so that I can turn Wi-Fi on/off with the touch of 1 icon from a shortcut in the launcher tab, I have got 1 that allows me to do this with Bluetooth but I cant find 1 that will do it for Wi-Fi, I cant create one from windows so at the moment I keep having to go to comms and then from there.

Many thanks

Jon ;)

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] daliGR:
I have paired my Sony Ericsson HBH-GV435a bluetooth handsfree to my new Touch Pro. Every time I make a call or respond to a call and hang up the BT connection hangs too and the handsfree disappears from the phone. If I power off and re-power on the BT handsfree the connection reestablishes until the next call comes in and I hang up where the BT connection hangs/disconnects again. My other BT (Jabra 250) works fine with no disconnections. Touch Pro BT settings and Sony BT settings are the default ones.

Any suggestions how to keep the Sony - HTC BT connection alive? Any tweaks?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
Not sure if I understand 100% what you mean.

I noticed it with WinMo 6.1, the ROM I'm using right now(see sig) and other Raph ROMs that the BT device icon is OFF but BT itself is on. That's valid for 100% of the cases, the device icon and thus true communication to this device seems the be activated only on demand/when used and it takes less than a sec to do so (IMO great to conserve some battery power).

Let me describe (BT paired to know device):

BT headset on

BT at phone on (BT symbol on top/no headset symbol)

Open dialer, no headset symbol

Dial and a sec later headset symbol appears in dialer

Hang up (BT symbol on screen goes quickly off/on, headset symbol disappears).

The same with the - though nagging - incoming call delay:

Softkey lights blink

Incoming dialer screen pops up without headset symbol

Headset symbol appears and starts to peep ...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] daliGR:
Thank you my friend! You solved a big mystery for me...I tested it and you are right, once a call comes in again the SE BT device gets automatically reactivated after a small lag and reconnects with no problems. I was losing the handsfree icon in the dialer and I was getting a "lost BT phone" tone in my handsfree and was misled to believe that the connection is lost. The connection indeed drops but reconnects on demand on next call. Great help! (was about to toss the handsfree to garbage!)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] spippo:

I just recently received a replacement G1 from T-mobile. I opened it up and woo-hoo! It came with rc29 on it. Two hours later, I dropped it on the floor and cracked the screen:mad: It can now only receive phone calls. I won't go into how unbelievably pissed off I am!:mad::mad::mad:

I will, however, sell the phone to someone who knows how to and/or has the resources available to fix the screen. The phone is brand new. Just needs a replacement screen. If anyone would be interested in buying my G1, or alternatively knows where I can get a replacement screen, then please let me know.
[G1 Accessories] Sistum Id:
Call up Tmo and tell them is this someones idea of a sick joke? Tell them it came broken and see if they will replace it?

I think ebay might have g1 parts. Also there is a professional service manual for the G1 that tells you how to take apart a G1 the correct way.

EDIT:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=468673 Click on the first link in the OP. Open the PDF file and goto page 18. From there it will tell you how to take apart your G1.

I did a quick search for the LCD product number 60h00152-00M and only one website came up for a screen but cost $230. Ebay had something but was from Hong Kong for $75. Its all up to you really. Good luck anyways.
[G1 Accessories] spacemonkey333:
I called T-mobile. They told me that I signed for the phone, saying that it was in receivable condition.

I have looked all over the web. Nobody has replacement screens...yet. The only thing that I could find was HTC. They will repair the phone for the LOW LOW cost of only $238.00. What a steal. I guess I will just have to wait until HTC releases repair parts for the phone.

Thanks a lot for the info. The store you are mentioning is only shipping to Canada and USA. I live in Sweden however and would like to know what store on Ebay you are referring to.

I searched both pn and sku on ebay and it turns out nothing.

My glass is cracked and the screen works most of the time. Only difference is that I often have to place the thumb flat instead of just simply pointing with my fingertip on it otherwise it won't register.
[G1 Accessories] spacemonkey333:
Sounds like you may just need this part:

http://www.iphonerepairparts.com/proddetail.php?prod=G1FaceplateBlk&review=add
[G1 Accessories] razor1394:
Yes it looks like exactly what I need. However It's still the same store that only ships to US and Canada only. It seems that the store is using three different url:s

https://www.cellulardr.com/

www.cellphone-repair-shop.com

www.iphonerepairparts.com/

I will try and check if they can make an exception and ship to Sweden.
[G1 Accessories] momentarylapseofreason:
Do you have anyone here that can ship it to you? I know that would be a major pain, but might be your best option. Also, I would consider contacting them and asking for an exception. They probably don't ship overseas because of all the phony deals out there.
[G1 Accessories] razor1394:
No I don't think so. I have some relatives there but I don't have any contact with them. I mailed cellulardr yesterday but I have still not gotten an answer.

What I have done now is to remove all the glass from the digitizer. I got to know the device a little more. The digitizer is made out of soft plastic and is loose on top of the lcd. The glass is attached strongly to the digitizer. After removing all the glass with a sharp knife I have noticed that the double adhesive is very hard to remove and it gets dirty quickly. I have tried softly with some chemicals but it doesn't help so much and I'm not sure if it can destroy the digitizer. The LCD is totally fine. The digitizer should work as well but as the surface is full of "crap" It's hard to register anything. It registers better on the back of the digitizer where the surface is clear. I have been looking around for plexi and normal glass. I can't find the correct thickness but It's probably because I've been looking in non glass professional stores. I'm going to check at a glass expertise. All I need is some kind of double adhesive and a correct fit of glass/plexiglass. I think plexi would be best. It's strong but it scratches however it can be prevented with a screen protector. When I started the operation I removed the display protector and I noticed that the glass where it was most hardly hit was almost pulverized. I don't think I will be putting on normal glass again.

The glass is 1mm thick on everything except the edges. On the edges It's much thinner as it needs to stay inside the device and not fall out.

edit:

I placed an order for the armor case and crystal slip case as well on Boxwave. I don't know which I'll like the most.
[G1 Accessories] DevPhone1337:
They won't even let you, when I had a phone shipped to me I asked the FedEx guy if I could open it and inspect it first, he told me no. When you sign off, you only agree that the package is in acceptable condition, and it's assumed the phone didn't break inside a perfect package.

Its not the LCD but the digitizer that I need. Ans shipped to the UK.

If anyone is wondering what would happen if a car drove over your G1 I can tell you

I should point out that it still works in every way, even the touch screen.
[G1 Accessories] spacemonkey333:
Here is a link to the digitizer. It is $170.00. They really stick it to the G1 users!!!

http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.com/G1FaceplateDigitizerBlk.htm
[G1 Accessories] Mr_dev:
Cheers. But as the poster above pointed out that site only ships to the continental USA. You can get digitizers for iphones much cheaper so hopefully its just a matter of time before demand is such that the prices for a g1 digitizer become more reasonable.
[G1 Accessories] razor1394:
Exactly. However I saw a question in the faq where the store said it could ship to Japan. Still no mail from them. There is also a request of shipping a replacement part to Greece which was denied. I have mailed HTC (again) and asked if they can repair it. Last time they forwarded me to Anovo but they don't seem to be able to repair it.

By the time I have replaced my digitizer the G2 is out. :D
[G1 Accessories] razor1394:

Perfect! Except I've missed it :D

$12.95 seems almost too good to be true doesn't it?
