[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
Number of hours isn't a good question, because many of us are no longer using the oem battery, so it's not apples to apples. I'm using a Seidio battery which is the same size, but approximately 30% higher capacity than the stock battery.

With Ricky's v24 remake of Kavana's rom, I would typically need to charge every other day (36-40 hours). With the Rose, I need to charge approx. every 18-20 hours or so. But I don't know how much of the decrease in battery life is attributable to the rom and how much is because of the Edge connection staying on constantly because of NRG's MiniWeather.

I would definitely consider Ricky's v24 if you want to maximize battery life...it's very similar to Kavana, but has numerous apps already installed with the rom. I started out with Kavana and had "upgraded" to v24 within a couple weeks.

These shortcuts don't exist, but you can still create a new document from within Word or Excel.

(solution at the bottom of this post)

Hey, ive searched for a little while now and i havnt found a solution, so if i missed it im sorry just point me in the rigth direction. In the mean time, here is my issue:

Its the same issue with:

4.5

4.9

5.0

(these are the only onces ive used)

all downloaded from:

http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/

now ive wiped before flashing each update, and even wiped after the update, ive even gone back to rc29 and then trying again

when i get the phone to finish booting up, my radio gives me issues, it will show full bars, then none, then full, then none, never showing edge, so i go into wireless settings and realize that every 20 seconds or so, airplain mode is coming on for a half a second then going back off, without me clicking it, but when it does this, it never shows the airplane icon where it does if i click it myself in the top status bar

now if i manage to dial out a call at the right time, it will keep the full bars, and dial out properly, i can have a half hour phone call or longer without a problem, when i hang up, i have full bars AND edge for atleast a hour or so, and then i drop edge all of the suddon and go back into the airplane loop, inwhich a simple phone call (even to voicemail) fixes it temporarily

this issue happens as soon as i reboot the phone as well, as it starts up, it shows no connection, then emergency calls only, then tmobile, and repeats

when under mobile settings when trying to select a network manually if im lucky for it to show tmobile and at&t, 90% of the time it tells me it cant connect to tmobile due to my sim. if i keep clicking it it will say registering to network, but it will stay in the loop with the airplane mode flickering on and off

again, if this is something stupid im missing, or if its been explained elsewhere, my bad just point me in the right direction, but either im not searching for the right thing or ive just completely missed it, either way, someone help me before i have to go back to JF 1.42, im really enjoying this magic port

Ok, so thanks to the suggestion to "update the radio" and Google for pointing me in the right direction. I did as follows, and so far, so good.

Download this file to SD card

http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/Saphire-Radio-Update (rc33).zip

Saphire-Radio-Update (rc33).zip Sapphire Radio 2.22.19.23

Rename it update.zip

Reboot Phone in Recovery

(I wiped, this may not be needed, but I did anyway)

Alt + S to install the update

the phone will ask you to do the home + back to reboot, press it and it will do a few other things, including reboot into a screen with a arror pointing at a microchip, then it will reboot back into recovery

hit the home + back yet again to perform another reboot and it will boot up normally and so far, ive yet to have an issue with my radio after this

wootroot-

THANK GOD I AM NOT ALONE!!!!

This problem has been plaguing me as well with all of these new builds!!!

Ultimately I ended up going back to JF 1.42 MOD because I needed a working phone.

I flashed to 5.0G tonight... and its doing the same thing... radio on then radio off. I tried flashing to the new Sapphire radio... nothing works.

I would love for someone to come up with a working solution.

Thanks!

[G1 General] wootroot:
i feel the same way, i thought it was just me

there has to be something im missing, so many other people use these builds without issues like this, there is no way someone could put up with this issue and use the phone as a daily phone reliably

if you want to have 5.0 (well i flashed H not G but im sure it would work regardless) time a phone call to your voicemail when your radio flashes on and when it vibrates saying the call connected, hangup, and everything will be fine for a few hours

do me a favor though, read over the stuff i just added to my first post, see if your phone is doing anything different than mine, that way when someone who comes in here and is able to help, they know exactly what our phones are doing, and hopefully its not just us with this issue and it will get others in the trend of explaining in detail what is wrong with theres, maybe this will help speed up getting a solution lol (wishful thinking?)
[G1 General] webgrafix:
I am redoing things once again.... reflash, etc.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

But it's late and I am tired and annoyed.

If it happens again... I will try to make a video of whats happening so others can actually see it.
[G1 General] Land Of The Trill:
I thought I was going crazy I'm on 5.0G now the new one which adds busybox but I've been having the same exact problem as the OP but I haven't tried the Sapphire Radio yet but we all seem to experience different issues anyway.
[G1 General] wootroot:
no fun, sorry your having issues too, you say we are having different issues, could that be because we are using the HTC code and your using the GOOGLE code? or did i misunderstand you?

can you explain a little more about the sapphire radio vs other radios? ive been trying to understand what the difference is, and how to switch between them, but so far im unable to find a clear answer, so can you tell me the difference and how to switch between them?

thanks for your help

EDIT:

oh and what do you use busybox on the g1 for? i just read up on it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusyBox) and i have a general idea of what it is now, but whats the use of it on the g1? do you use it as kind of a DOS for the g1? is it more for developers than end users?
[G1 General] Mast3rmatt:
This problem has happened to me but seems as all I needed to do was to reupdate the radio. It worked for me!:)
[G1 General] wootroot:
thanks man, i just did that using this radio update, so far (on 5.0) im not having any issues, for the record i did a wipe before updating the radio just to make sure i started fresh

i used this update:

Its driving me nuts! I downloaded and flashed the Sapphire Radio RC33 twice! Still acting up.

It runs fine in JF1.42MOD.

Any ideas??? Any other radio ROMS I can try?

try reflashing the rom, then do the radio update
[G1 General] nevets032:
Hi all, I've just rooted my phone (Australian release on Optus) and i was wondering if the radio update has regional limitations or not? Because i've heard positive things about it but I don't want to screw my phone up.
[G1 General] eleminop:
did you get it working right? i tried the 5.0h as well and did the sapphire radio update and mine was doing that as well so i went back to jf. i wouldn't mind trying it again if i could actually use my phone. lol

hi

my home touch button is not working...

the last app i installed is psShutXP, but i had removed it. then i realise that the home button is not working...

can anyone help me?
[General Questions and Answers] akirasport:
I'm currently running m2d on my polaris. I was wondering if there was a method for me to map one of the buttons on the phone so that it will open the phone profile windows (ie. normal, vibrate, silent). Its somewhat of a hassle to have to change the profile since it requires several button presses to do so.

Also, another idea would be to have a program that ran in the background and each time you pushed a mapped button on the phone, it would cycle through the different profiles. This way, you might not have to look at the phone when you want to change the profile (food for thought). Not sure if anybody or company has come up with this yet.
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
"long press end key"... an HTC software, changes between unmuted and vibrate. i use it all the time.

you can also find the shorts to switch between profiles in the forum and map it to hardware buttons (and even use cycles) using HButton
[P3600 General] bigfoot:
I have TRINITY with WM 6 and 2DIN car DVD/RADIO/TV/GPS/BLUETOOTH, I paired them by bluetoth connection, everything works good. But when I go outside the car or turn off (to standby mode) one of devices and next go back to the car - these two devices cannot reconnect automatically. I must turn off BT in my phone and on again to repair connection. It's not comfortable to do this with every move from the car. The car set is WINCE5 core system.

Is that any way to solve this problem? I heard that it's a fault of WM6 - WM5 can autoreconect BT connection. Is that true?

The reason is because you are most likely on WM 6.1 (R2A rom is 6.1) and these were designed for WM 6.5's Titanium interface, what are you waiting for? flash your phone with itje's 6.5 Rom! :D

Recently i've been noticing a huge fuss about the HTC Diamond 2.. I mean have you people seen the Specs? Why would anyone buy this phone over the Touch HD?

The HD features says it all!! :

- HD has a bigger screen

- 3.5mm headphone jack

- more battery life (1350mAh)

- Slimmer

- Already has Diamond 2's interface updates.

Diamond 2:

- Zooming Bar? The phone would be smaller without it, or maybe increase the screen size instead.. This bar is useless!! Maybe great for Arkanoid (The Game)? ;-)

- Battery Cover isn't shaped like a diamond anymore, and there goes the name..

- No camera flash.. AGAIN!!

- No Headphone jack

- Battery is 1100mAh

- Should've came out in December or with the HD in November.

- Not a competitor with the head to head clash of phones this year.

The first Diamond was way ahead of all devices last year, It was phone of the year 2008!!.. :'(

Let me know what you guys think.. :)
[General Topics] StashCompInc:
Thats true, and the reason why Im gonna keep my Omnia. But the Firestone and Thor seem to be the only phones with real updates. Cant wait till they come out.

About the specs, what is it with HTC ? Why does the video recording suck sooo much ? Hope they give recording at 720p on the Firestone or Thor (Omnia HD anyone ?). Otherwise I might have to go Symbian and I hate Symbian.

HD's Price is dropping down now..
[General Topics] FRD666:
These are the prices where I live:

Touch HD: € 589,-

Touch Diamond2: € 457,-

That's allmost 30% more.. for only a little more screen and a little bigger battery (what is indeed something I dont like much, but it's allready a better battery then the Diamond)

My choice is made :) i go for the Diamond2
[General Topics] dosari666:
The price tag for the diamond was € 280 before it was released.. it was then sold for € 420 - 460.

Before the HD was out it was priced € 480, and now like my friend FRD666 is saying its 589..

The point is its too early to know, and based by the price tags from previous HTC releases, Diamond 2's price will be more than what it is shown around.. And until it is out, how much would the HD be then?
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Well if you're in the US like me, the HD will not work on AT&T's 3G network, which can be quite an inconvenience for people like me who are ALWAYS getting email, downloading huge files, watching online videos and just surfing the net. However, unless I am mistaken, the Diamond2 will be officially released in the US, which means AT&T's 3G network would be supported, which is a good thing. Although other than that, I understand what you're getting at.

Dave
[General Topics] syqe:
Indeed, HTC just cased the HD in a new shiny box and started selling a new phone.
[General Topics] dosari666:
I like the advantages the diamond 2 has for the US users, at least that's a change..

I appreciate your opinion akash_84, I'm used to small slim phones, and my last one was the first Diamond.. But now having the HD around, i realized its a new experience.. Suddenly i like using internet surfing allot, writing notes, ms Office, watching movies and playing games.. Diamond 2's screen will be very good too, and the battery capacity is for the screen functionality like you say, it makes sense to me now.. :)

First i thought of the HD as a big phone which would bother me having it in my pocket like you say.. But i was amazed of how comfortable it is.. To me i didn't notice any difference when i check if my phone is in my pocket or not between the diamond and the HD, I remember feeling the diamond shape edges battery cover in my pocket to check if it's there..

Even though they changed the battery cover shape, it's named Topaz as some kind of diamond shaped rock, so why make it normal now?.. I liked the touch pro cover, material was great..

Can Diamond 2 compete this year like the first did last year? HTC will release much better phones later..

This year will be the only year that i buy an HTC device by the end of the year..
[General Topics] akash_84:
Good point actually... Topaz is actually another type of stone which only just struck me!

However, looking at the pictures, the flat surfaces followed by curved edges almost imitates the "diamond2" :)

well tomorrow is the release date for it so lets see what happens!

Its much better then the HD ( wich is to big!!! ) Smartphones are supposed to be smaller.

Could you upload a video sample ? Sounds too good to be true.
[General Topics] TheTroubleMaker:
i will do it tonight.. the video resolution is 640 x 480 according to HTC
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
If you want an example video, Pocketnow.com (my favorite WM news site with videos, news, reviews, etc.) posted this example video online.

Just download it, and if you get a security warning like I did, it's nothing. The site is extremely trustworthy, and I scanned it a bunch and it came back clean, and played fine. The full Diamond review is here, and apparently he likes is a lot.

It also seems to get better benchmarks in performance than the Touch HD. You can also check out the Pocketnow youtube channel, which now has a couple of Diamond2 videos. I'm holding out for the Pro2, but this device is really nice looking.

[General Topics] StashCompInc:
Finally VGA (640x480) video ! Tough other manufactures are going for D1 (720x480) and 720p (1280x720), but still nice improvment.

[q]

- HD has a bigger screen

- more battery life (1350mAh)

Diamond 2:

- Battery is 1100mAh

[/q]

The screen takes up a huge fraction of the power, so I wouldn't be surprised to see that the Diamond has better battery life even with a smaller capacity battery because it also has a smaller screen.
[General Topics] dosari666:
I'm using the Diamond 2 ROM on the touch HD, The camera too (No VGA capture though)..

Guys, I just need to know:

- How many free ram and rom are use and free in the memory on the diamond 2?

- And regarding the benchmarks, has anyone played Divx (.avi) files yet?

I use Coreplayer 1.3 and it plays Divx smoothly on the Touch HD..

- How loud is the speaker phone on real ringtones?

- Is it easy and finger-accurate when using the Full QWERTY Keyboard?

Well it turns out i was wrong and this was the first that an HTC phone came out cheaper than expected... ;-)

Please share any interesting experience you find so far with the device..

Thank you all..

[General Topics] humblejok:
Hello all,

I got my Diamond 2 three days ago (it replaces my broken Diamond).

As it's not available officialy in France (and Europe in general I think), it's an import from Asia (well, that's what's written on the box).

I was really happy with the first gen Diamond, the only cons were the low battery life (2 days max in standard use: 1h/day phone calls, 30 to 50 SMS, a bit of Wireless or 3G) and the lack of speed of the Touch Flo interface.

When I received the Diamond 2, I was a bit disappointing with its size, it's bigger and heavier than the first gen (and it's still a bit disappointing).

These are the cons (for the moment) but the pros are really nice:

+ The Touch Flo Interface is not slow anymore : it's faster and better (graphically speaking in many cases) than the IPhone interface (my wife has a IPhone 3G).

+ Battery life is great (playing MP3s is not sucking the whole battery in 3h, I haven't tested much about Wireless or 3G but it seems way better)

+ Screen is as bright and clear as in the IPhone and the 800x480 res is perfect with Tomtom 7 and many app

+ I can fit a 16GB ou 32GB microSD card, it's great not to be limited with the 4GB of the first gen (Tomtom Europe map is sizing 2GB)...

+ Camera is also taking better pictures (much better, colors are more accurate).

About your questions,

- free memory is around 100MB when doing nothing (Total = 184MB) + around 250MB as storage (with TomTom 7 installed, total is 300MB).

- I haven't tried DIVX but I'll do that tonight.

- Speaker is louder than the 1st gen when it comes to ring. Song playing quality seems better but it seems less loud.

- Full qwerty keyboard is not really nice to use but I have big hands and fingers (1.80m and 100kg).

For the moment, I'm happy with it even if its weight and size have increased (it's still phone format unlike the IPhone cinder or the Touch HD).

About my 1st gen Diamond, I tested a lot of ROMs (WM6.1, 6.5, cooked or not), radios and the fastest versions were half as fast as the Diamond 2 default rom and radio.

My Diamond 2 has the following roms:

ROM: 1.39.405.2 (47382) WWE

DATE: 04/07/09

RADIO: 3.43.25.19

Edit: I added the total info
