[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] konrad.schafers:
Hi I am form New Zealand and I am thinking of getting a HTC Diamond.

Now New Zealand telecom uses the WCDMA network, and I suspect the phone will be CID locked as well.

A good friend of mine has a diamond from Germany which he has flashed several times (Radio+Roms) (he is using Vodafone in New Zealand, which is GSM)

I would like to know if I can follow the normal steps that I would do on a GSM phone on a CDMA phone. Which would be: HardSPL (e.g. Olinex 1.4)-> flash Radio or ROM.

What do I need to look out for, are there special HardSPL versions or ROMS available, or can I use any ROM or Radio?

in my defence, I really tried to find informaion here ono what to do with a CDMA phone but I couldn't find any helpful threads.

So please help me out or send me links for more information.

Thanks a lot

Although there are many APPs that can be used here on this forum for CDMA, Radio's, Roms & Hard SPL's require you to visit ....HERE
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Lokosis:
band27 is right, ppcgeeks is the best place to go for you HTC CDMA needs.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] konrad.schafers:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I'll check that site out.

Do you reckon it would be impossible to put a rom listed in this forum onto a CDMA phone. E.g. Shaks v4.0? Since my friend strongly recommends that and he doesn't know anything about specific CDMA ROMs. It just seems that it can be a lengthy path till you find the right ROM :)

How can I tell in advance whether an app will work or not?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
ABSOLUTELY NOT regarding ROM's....you will brick your device. Most APPs are fine though.

GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U R ABOUT TO MAKE THIS GUY BRICK HIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

using WCDMA doesnt mean that ur phone is cdma!!!!!

wcdma is a coverage by the gsm if i am not mistaken.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] deeren:
dude,make ur own research

dont flash anything until u talked to ur phone company n asked them if ur phn is cdma or gsm

from what i know , wcdma is a coverage of gsm.

wcdma and cdma is not the same thing or network
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] imatrix:
I am still not clear even after reading an article on wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCDMA

maybe this is a better wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Mobile_Telecommunications_System

maybe some experts can comment on this.

@konrad.schafers, you should NOT PERFORM ANY FLASH until you are sure which category your Diamond is.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
For the love of God, calling your phone provider to inquire whether your device is GSM or CDMA is not necessary.

Simply open the backing to your device and check if you have a SIM card.

SIM Card = GSM

No Sim Card = CDMA
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] konrad.schafers:
In New Zealand Telecom has always had CDMA (no SIM), after Vodafone introduced 3G they will introduce W-CDMA (the way I see it it is a hybrid between GSM-UMTS and CDMA.

Here is the quote from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecom_New_Zealand)

On the 8 June 2007, Telecom announced a plan to build a hybrid W-CDMA/UMTS-CDMA network [14], based on the WCDMA HSPA technology, to replace its current CDMA EV-DO network. The network is planned to go online in June 2009 [15] running at 850 MHz with some 3G 2100 MHz for extra coverage in urban areas. Telstra's Next G (in Australia) and AT&T Wireless also have networks running on 850 MHz, which can cover greater geographic distances and penetrate buildings more effectively than higher frequencies. Current CDMA phones are guaranteed by Telecom to work until at least June 2012. The Telecom UMTS network is planned to have no GSM coverage, no roaming coverage for 2G phones. Foreign 850MHz (North American) and 2100MHz (European) UMTS handsets can roam to this network.

I really have to talk to someone from telecom directly. It looks like flashing either a CDMA rom or a GSM rom is dangerous :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] deeren:
dude, there are cdma companies that make use of sim card too.!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
Stay on topiic here....we are not talking about other companies. We are talking about the HTC Diamond....lol

None of these devices are dual compatible. However HTC is coming up with a product that will be introduced in the 2009 lineup. Off the top of my head...don't recall.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
You are right, the W-CDMA allows for CDMA devices the ability to use the 3G signals. Prior to this, CDMA devices were not 3G compatible.

Calling your provider might lead to voiding the warranty of this product. If you follow instructions as per the Wiki's and reading lots of threads, like the rest of us on this forum, your experience here will be with out a doubt, a very positive one. Millions of us flashers have crossed that line and can speak to this that although at first we were all hesitate, we are glad we did..!! :p:p

Flashing is Not for Everyone! Fear determines this....:(

Good Luck in what ever choices you make....If you decide to cross that line then all your Radio and ROM needs can be found over at PPCgeek.coml.........Don't forget to Hard SPL first!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
If this helps

WCDMA is base on GSM technology

CDMA was developed by Qualcomm in the United States and is the dominant network in the USA- if this helps?

Please post what Current ROM, Radio your device has.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] konrad.schafers:
I haven't got one yet. I was checking out the possibilities of flashing etc. They'll only launch WCDMA in June over here. Yes they are quite backwards in NZ. no full 3G by the major provider (Vodafone has had it for while).

Or even worse the broadband over here!!! You Pay per GB, around $1NZD (~55 USc) per Gigabyte (plus $50NZD base charge) and that's by far the cheapest here. Ususally they charge you something like $50NZD per month for a Gigabyte of data usage and limited bandwidth. Maximum bandwidth on which they charge you heavily is maybe 6MB if you're lucky :D

I used to live in germany! This is driving me mad :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
a bit of topic but...

Germany is one of the best places for cheap charges and bandwidth for Broadband in Europe :D. Nz charges base charge is similar in the UK :eek:

Seems strange as Nz was clearing money cheques (remember these;)) the next day back in 1976 while the UK still takes 3-5 working days.

Me personally i flashed cdma rom into gsm diamond and it didnt get broken, it just did not boot up, so i had to flash again from bootloader :) but no one wants to experience such a story :-D

Hello everybody, I've just upgraded my kaiser to windows mobile 6.5, build 21202.

one of the many problems I've found is that I can't send mms, or go to internet... I've noticed that the usual program that sets the mobile operator did'nt launch itself on startup.

Does anybody know an issue?

maybe a link to download this program...

thank you if you find time to answer me.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] br4nd0nh347:
Go to Start>Settings>Connections>Connection Setup

Set it to your Provider and Country manually. If it happens again set it up again and turn off auto config. Remember to restart.

As for your wireless go to

Start>Settings>Connections>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks

and make sure the correct provider for your internet is selected.

If you have a data plan I think (emphasis on think) it's Mi ISP or Medianet.

I hope that solves your problems, if that's it.

Which Today software are u using?

i bought resco phone today, (battery life acceptable, interface is good)

resco today plugin, (battery life acceptable, interface not nice)

tried free vito winterface (sucks my battery life)

original touch flo 3d (by far the best battery life out of the 4 i tried)

by far i think touch flo3d is the best.. but takes up alot ram space.. (more ram space = more batter life?) <- correct me if i'm wrong.

currently sticking with resco phone today..

feel free to comment

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] skulk3r:
a quick question for those using the new Windows Mobile 6.5 Today screen...

How do you make it usable?

I think that it looks nice and clean, but it's just so much more user-un-friendly than TF3D...the calendar in TF3D is much cleaner and easier to use. Also the weather app in TF3D seems a lot cleaner as well. And the start menu/program launcher without TF3D is hard to rearrange.

What do you use to get around that?

And has anybody tried using SPB Mobile Shell 3?

Thanks!

thnx alot, i purchased NFS last month figuring SOMEONE was gonna finally get this accelerometer under control. :)

Although i have to mess w/ config the default settings keep putting on the brakes if you dont hold it flat.

THANKS!!!

pacman running great too!

just wanted to add, ive been messing with gcontroller and the other popular one to no end. They just dont work right. (all the time) This one right out of the box was excellent. Will try to report anything i find as far as settings - etc.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bugsykoosh:
If you set 'center' on any game to '90' that's the angle at which you hold the phone naturally when the phone is in your hand...like a 30 degree angle. It sounds like it will work better that way but I think it's harder to recall he plane the phone is on between the angles...maybe if I stretch the thresholds to larger numbers (so it goes very far down to be down, etc) it would help - otherwise small angles lead to tilting and you really need to remember what 'flat' is.

I'll keep playing

The cupcake build instructions doesn't include few Google specific applications

It says "Note that this does not have Gmail, YouTube, Market, or IM."

Getting apks from the rooted device is st forward, Is there a way to make those applications work on the cupcake ?
[G1 Android Development] d00m:
Those are closed source apps so you can't compile them yourself. Fortunately, the htc magic os was leaked which includes android 1.5 (ie cupcake) with working gmail, youtube, etc. So if you want cupcake + closed source apps, I suggest you head over to the "HTC Sapphire/Vodafone Magic G1 Port" thread. Hope I understood your question.
[G1 Android Development] dan.raaka:
I am going to try it .. here is what i want ..

Extract the apks from that build and use in my custom cupcake build ..

I am hoping just pulling the apks from \system\app

and use install them, Will this suffice or do any .so and jars need to be pulled from that build as well ?
[G1 Android Development] d00m:
Yeah you need additional jars and kernel level stuff (not sure what). You might want to ask this guy how he did it so far as he's trying something similar.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Nautme:
Okay, before I get yelled at, this is for my wife's phone (8525 on TMobile). She's not technical and likes pretty, and any issues I will hear about over and over and over. She's currently got the official AT&T WM6 ROM (version 3.62.502.3 radio 1.16.00.00).

I was considering joshkoss' colored version here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=461490, but I read about a few issues in it as I wandered through the 200+ pages of the thread.

I also considered http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=421337, but there's like 42 versions and I can't even figure out which is the latest (though it said something like v11, but which link).

So anyway, that's what I need. Stable so I don't hear about it and Pretty so that she likes it (and doesn't make me get her a blackberry or iphone).

Also, if someone likes a better Radio, please speak up (I'm in Tampa, FL if it matters).

Before anyone tells me to search first, I have. I've spent three nights pouring over posts throughout the Hermes forums. I know there's no clear answer as to ROM choice, but I'm looking for some input and suggestions.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lewnetoons:
what i'm using

currently using joshs darkwinter rom, very stable and fast and fairly new, looks nice and does not have any bloat. I am in Lakeland not too far from you and I use 1.47.30.10 for my radio and get very good battery life, if she uses a lot of 3g then I would suggest one of the 1.54 radios.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ultramag69:
Why not just install a new gui like SPB shell and find a "pretty" skin for it? Then set up the SPB watcher app so that it ALWAYS is displayed instead of the today screen... That way no flashing involved and she gets to pick what she likes... SPB Shell is a commercial app but its worth the dough...

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Nautme:
She likes joshs colored ROM. Isn't it just the eye candy that's different between the colored and darkwinter?

As far as 3G, I wasn't thinking that she had that capability because of it being and AT&T device. I guess since it's Quad-band it has the 1900 MHz frequency that T-Mobile uses for 3G, correct?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Nautme:
The skin is a good suggestion, but it wouldn't really upgrade the rest of the OS. I've got an AT&T Fuze and she loves the interface, so I was kind of looking for something similar. Also, I'm hoping T-Mobile will come out with their Wing2/Touch Pro 2 in July (fingers crossed) and she'll be able to snag one of those. If I threw SPB Shell on the 8525, she'd have to learn that and I probably wouldn't load that on the Wing2.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Sorry guys, Gotta close the thread in an effort to keep the forum clean.. Rom style is all personal preference :)
