yeaaaaaah so no one answered me...

will the sim free version work for sprint???

:eek:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
it should -- phone unlocked = works with any sim card from any provider!!! :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAK11:
No it won't work on Sprint. It's CDMA/EV-DO network and Not GSM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skanndelus:
but sprint doesn't use SIMs it uses CDMA
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shuflie:
The Diamond 2 available in europe needs a SIM to work, so you're out of luck unless Sprint bring it out themselves.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skanndelus:
then what is the "sim free" version if not a cdma version?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shuflie:
SIM free means it is not locked to a particular operators SIM, i.e. you can use it with any SIM. But it still needs one to operate.

does anyone think its possible to edit the launcher.apk to make widgets free from aligning to grid? I'ed like to align my clock widget to look nice against my background.
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
I don't think so because its set to grid for stability throughout the hole home app. it is possibble though to create a program which would allow you to choose the size of the widgets like in sweeter home.

Hi There

I've got an XDA Orbit/WM6 running TTN6 and cannot get the Traffic Service to work. I get the dreaded Error code 1506 everytime. Even Tomtom support are giving up on me and are telling me my device is unsupported.

I've trawled various forums but never found an answer; has anyone ever had the same problem and solved it?

Sean
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Robby35:
Tomtom 7 Error Code 1506

Hi Sean,

I too have the same problem. Error Code 1506 even though I have swopped my account in TomTom home. This however does not seem to stick and it reverts to telling me I am using a different device than the one associated with my account - aaarrrggggghhhhh

HTC Diamond

TomTom 7 with UK and Western Europe

UK Traffic subscription.

So far TomTom support has proved as useful as a chocolate teapot !

I hope the answer really is out there !

Help before I convert to Nuvi !!!!!!!

Rob
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] bons:
Solution "1506"

1. Restore factory defaults

2. Don't fill out your account at this time

3. Activate Traffic info and subscribe to the trial. Download traffic info at least once

4. Fill in you account in the Plus-services.

5. Enjoy!

Oplossing voor verkeersinformatie: "Er is een fout opgetreden - probeer het opnieuw, of neem contact op met de klantenservice. Error code 1506".

Inmiddels werkt het weer! Via een Duits forum ontdekt:

1. Herstel fabrieksinstellingen

2. Vul NIET meteen je eigen account in, maar meld je aan voor de trial verkeersinformatie

3. Vernieuw de verkeersinfo.

4. Vul nu je eigen account in

5. Et voila ! Het werkt!

Naj, klappte nicht, ABER ich hatte eine neue Fehlermeldung "error code 1506". Immerhin etwas neues, also muss dies schon etwas bewirkt haben.

3. Mit ein bisschen "Schnorcheln" im Internet fand ich auch einen thread (wo weis ich nicht mehr) in dem mehrere Lösungsvorschläge zur Beseitigung dieser Fehlermeldung waren. Ein dokumentier NICHT erfolgreicher war.... Na, kommt Ihr drauf? Genau, den tomtom support zu fragen!!! Ratet mal, was die dem Kerl erzählt haben? Bingo! Geräte Inkomptibilität, wir sind nicht Schuld.....noch 'ne tote Sau (die ha'm wohl da 'nen Schlachthof in ihrem Support-Center...). Ein logischer, aber mühsam/ärgerlicher war folgender (Reihenfolge unbedingt beachten!): a) Im navigator unter "Einstellungen" den Button "Standard wiederherstellen" drücken (ja, ich weiß, alle Settings, Favoriten und persönlichen Einstellungen werden gelöscht, und die wenigsten wagen es, ABER TU' ES!!!!!). Vergiss' die Sicherkopie Deiner "mapsettings"-Datei, die macht Dich nur unglücklich, kannste, neh musste Dir sparen!!! b) Dann bloss nicht Dein tomtom plus Konto einrichten!!!!! Sondern Verkehrsinfo einschalten drücken. Du wirst gefragt, ob Du Dein Probemonatabo nehmen willst. WILLST DU! Ja drücken!!!!!!! c) Verkehrsinfo funzt wieder!!!!!!!!!!! . So jetzt darfste Dich in tomtom plus mit Deiner email-Adresse und Passwort wieder einloggen. ALLES WIEDER O.K.!!!!
[Touch 3G General] dos.2982:
Hello.

I have a HTC touch 3G (didn't know it was called jade:p) for less than one month.

Since last week i'm having a enoying problem.

Every time i open my messages or my calendar, my contact list appear blank.

But the contacts are not gone, because i can use then when making a call, or writing a message. They just do not appear in the "contacts" menu or in the "All People" from touchFlo.

I'm still using the same ROM from factory.

ROM version: 1.40.707.2 (21259)

ROM date: 10/24/08

The device is unlocked. I did not had to do anything to use my old SIM card.

Anyone had any problem like that? Know how to fix?

Or should I update to another ROM?

I'm newbie in this, so can anyone suggest a good ROM?

I saw a lot of them in the forum, but i don't know which to choose.

Thanks.
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
What do you mean by "Every time i open my messages or my calendar, my contact list appear blank." You mean it was there before in contact lists and now it disppears ?

Try install iContact (avian or burt, either one) and see if the list is there. If its there then there's something wrong with the windows conntact.
[Touch 3G General] dos.2982:
The list IS there. is just not showing.

I forgot to mention... If I soft-reset, every thing back to normal.

The contact list appears again.

But if i open messages (that it. just click the "messaging" menu), the contact list appears empty...
[General Questions and Answers] bonez025:
Hey, recently the usb port in my phone broke (toshiba g900) it can still charge but it can't sync with any computer running xp or other. I am not able to update it's ROM either which is the worst of it.

I want to hold off on sending it back to be fixed so I was wondering is it possible to update it by the sd card method using a rom for say the touch HD which is WVGA aswell or would that just brick my phone?

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Rudegar:
no 2 devices can use each-others roms not even 2 htc devices
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
btw, you can sync it using bluetooth.
[General Questions and Answers] bonez025:
I don't really care about using the sync part of it as I don't need it. What I do care about is being able to update my rom. Thanks anyway.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cptnslow:
Is there a way to force HSDPA? I have it enabled (using advance config) & rarely does it connect to it, uses Edge majority of the time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Rudegar:
if the place you are present have poor hsdpa support it

roam to other network types

would you rather have it loose connection ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] raiisak:
+1 on what Rudegar sad, also its BTS who decide for you when HSDPA should kick in. If you are in area you will recieve.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cptnslow:
So theres no way to force the connection?

I had three bars earlier when connection & worked awsome, now Im on edge & fights to get 10kbps down. Ive noticed this in the cities Im in often like Roanoke,VA, Atlanta, Montgomery,AL, Virginia Beach, Detroit.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
It's just like if you have a 56 kbps modem - remember those antiques from only 10 years ago - there's no way to force a higher connection speed without unreliability and connection drops coming into the equation. Maybe it's time to trial another network (perhaps with a pay as you go sim) and see how their offerings compare.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ProudPop83:
Where in Va Beach? I live in Va Beach and get HSDPA pretty much everywhere i go.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] raiisak:
Like I stated above its the base station who opens up for you when you download or stream. You are not in HSDPA constantly as it does not enable until you do the above.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
]I think that'll be very network provider dependent because where I live its always HSDPA irrespective of whether a data connection is present. Depending where I travel to, I have had cases where the connection drops to 3G but then as soon as I initiate a data connection it jumps up to H and I've had further cases where it's E or G and a data connection makes no difference.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] raiisak:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSDPA
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
I was actually looking at that page a few days ago with regards to speeds but it doesn't change the fact that in some locations my phone shows the H icon when there isn't even a hint of a data connection present and no voice call taking place at the time either. Under such circumstances, it could have quite easily dropped back to a 3G icon until HSDPA is needed but it nearly always doesn't. The only place I've found it does work like this, interestingly enough, is when I'm going past the O2 UK HQ beside Slough train station where it will drop back to 3 G unless a data connection is in place.

When I was using Vodafone UK, this did not happen in the same loacation (never tested for this near their HQ out at Newbury) but again I experienced many cases where the H icon was shown on the phone but not needed. Thats why I've mentioned it's network dependant. I take your point that the specs dictate it should work otherwise but in my case thats not played out to be how it's gone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] raiisak:
If you want I can make your icon show a Q or Z for that matter, 3G as ONE a connection is a misleading term as it describes many technologies. Normal HSDPA suppose to show H when used and 3G idling. Remember the 6.1 ROM`s who displayed H all the time HSDPA or not? If you read up on wiki you will understand what I sad about HSDPA in earlier post. You cant draw conclusions based on what icon your phone is showing as the HSDPA technology will work as it always has.

So as long you do not stream/call of use for HSDPA you will not stay in it. So if you going to force it to stay in HSDPA you need to constant stream, an idle HSDPA connection swich over to 3g and back once called upon. So correct me if I am wrong here ... And I preferred documented. The only thing that is provider dependent here are if they support it and the coverage of it. The technology which I was talking about has nothing to do whit just that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Why would my phone lie to me like that given (in the same locations) it reliably and correctly detects that it is in 3G and then when a data connection is initiated bumps up to H. There is no doubt to me that it is reliably detecting the connection type as it does this every time I travel through Slough on the train if I initiate a data connection. Similarly it seems as if the H, 3G, G and even E, do correctly display under the right circumstances. Again, I've no dobt about the HSDPA specs and how it should work, I'm just saying in reality with my HTC Official ROM'd phone (both using my current setup and previously WM 6.1), it's behaved that way in practice.

I think the OP wants the same sort of performance and indications from his phone that I'm getting from mine and I know no way to 'force' an HSDPA connection and get appropriate speeds if the network infrastructure and signal strenth aren't up to the task. On the other hand there maybe another network that operates much better in a given area which will provide whats required and there's little cost in doing some 'trialling' of competing networks in the areas involved.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] raiisak:
Listen mate, I dont know why you want to argue or what you want to argue about???? Twisting and turning my answers are not going to do the trick here, OP asked about forcing he`s device in HSDPA, I answered that it would not work cause HSDPA does not work like that. Then you come in and start talking about something completely else and nagging on my answer?? I do not care what your phone shows and how it work in local area`s nearby you as it has nothing whit my answer or on topic IMO to do.

This comment triggered it all, if I had knew that you would not be interested in my answers on your comment I would not have taken the time to explain about HSDPA.

Then what do you argue about here? I am not going to comment this further as what ever I say does not get to you and there is nothing to more discuss.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Nothing personal

There's no need to bring out the 'listen mate' with multiple questionmarks on the end. I do listen where I think something is clear and correct. If I think there's more to an issue, I chime in. In response to your link to that wikipedia page which outlines how it should work (in an ideal world), I'm telling you that some networks do not appear to implement things according to the official specs so it won't necessarily behave that way. My examples based from usage/observations in many different locations around the UK prove that point and as I mentioned that was also the case when I was with Vodafone here so that's all, no more, no less and no intention to offend.

There's those multiple questionmarks again, calm down, I'm not having a go at you. I think it's best for the OP to make that determination whether my comments are relevant as we both replied in order to try and help that person out. You with some might say the 'official' line and me with the 'in practice' line. In the end we agree the answer as to what can be done to force HSDPA is the same ie nothing. I added the possibility that if better performance is saught, a network change may provide this.

I was interested all right, I felt your original answer and the subsequent wikipedia link didn't paint the whole picture so that's why I came in. I trust that you will eventually understand and accept that. Remember, I'm not having a go at you:cool:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bisis:
Is there a way to setup a specific SIP to be used with each application?

For example I like to use phonepad for sms but extended keyboard for word and so on..

Is there a registry tweak?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lutent:
I cant help, but I am "slowly" getting more and more convinced not to buy a Diamond because of the apparent issues I continue to find.

First I found out about the display issue which is (also officially) said to happen only with too much pressure (what exactly is too much), although some reported them as well and stated to have taken care. Now it seems there is yet one more issue with the backlighting respectively the hardware itself.

Would you say I am exaggerating and those issues are normal ones which happen to some extent on all phones or is my upcoming impression right that the Diamond might be a true beta product - it's not that those issues are exactly minor ones?

Please let me know your true and objective (please no fanboyism in either way :) ) opinion.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rudegar:
all I can say is these forums get a lot more of

"I have a problem"

then

"my diamond is working fine and i would not change a thing"

happy users

1 never come here

2 try to help others
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rumpleforeskin:
If you come to a forum where people are seeking help with their phone then unsuprisingly you are gonna find alot of people with phone problems they would like help with.

This is true for all devices from phones to cars, and will always give the impression that the device has many flaws. In the bigger picture far more people are happy with their diamond than reading here will have you think.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Hojlind:
i believe that the diamond really is a great smartphone, (no fanboyism) and that it really delivers a great bunch of possibilities, especially when paired with xda developers ;) it migth tend to be a little slow sometimes though. and sometimes even slower... but the first problem you described, ive never heard of before, and i do not believe you will experience this without trying to do it, or if you by accident throws a rock at the display ;) (accident???) the second problem sounded like a flash of a custom rom gone wrong, which doesnt really have anything to do with the phone, but more with the person behind the phone :)

these 2 problems that you talk about seems like some that only happens if you doesnt take a little care of your phone, and i do not believe that these should make you worry about getting a diamond. but you might want to consider buying a diamond2 instead, since its about to get released ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lutent:
.

Thanks for all your responses so far, of course the argument of complainers being louder is valid, but I suppose I am particularly worried here because the two mentioned issues seem to be quite common - among the complainers at least :) - and seem to be rather major issues and not like a minor one such as a buggy software.

Usually I am not using rocks ;), but there are also quite a few in the mentioned thread who have stated to never have mistreated the display. Of course its not easy to verify this claim but I have to admit it makes me worry.

I'd have assumed that too, however it doesnt seem to have taken place immediately after flashing but a few days later and a few even mentioned it happened without any flashing at all.

What attracts me particularly to the Diamond is its size. It is one of the smallest Windows Mobile phones available. The Diamond 2 is already noticeable larger and so I'd then opt for the HD right away.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] compact_bijou:
I've had so many devices I can't remember how many, from pocket pc's to the diamond I've just been randomly given free, not on upgrade .. just a random gift.

First impressions - after having it for 6 hours:

Looks great, I like the candybar format, after the Vario III it's .. novel.

The screen is a vast improvement over the last generation of screens.

The camera produces usable images, the Vario III didn't. haven't tried video but the new drivers seem to be doing their job.

GPS lag has not been tested on the road but tomtom picked up a signal quickly enough.

I've not yet experienced the dropped call when answering because of the end call nonsense on the screen. If I do there is a workaround.

The Compact IV won't open a full 300mb Memory Map file, I've had to break the maps down into bite size chunks for it.

After using the vario III for a long time I've never used more than 3.5GB, despite having a 6GB card so I won't miss the lack of memory card.

I didn't use the keyboard of the other phones I used to the lack of it is welcome.

On balance, I would recommend this phone but a novice would quickly be frustrated and that's mostly down to interface quirks which you get used to after a while, and here's usually a workaround for most problems, except a duff driver.

Why the people at HTC and t-mobile don't just farm the ROM dev out to xda-dev is beyond me.

The developers here do a better job, quicker and cheaper than the bunch of talentless spods employed by the various co's who make the devices. Although, I might be being too harsh on the spods, they probably do a great job but get stymied by the suits.

Could I recommend the Diamond ? Yes.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] allenf:
Diamond is the best WM device I've ever used...

Mine's been bumping around in my pocket for the last 10 months, dropped a couple of times, lives in a (padded) bumbag when I'm trail riding my pushbike and generally been used rather a lot - but never abused.

In my previous job role I managed 1500 WM devices for an SME (sig...) and I can say with the absolute certainty of someone who has been there for a living that the kind of hardware failures that get reported here are almost unheard of in any WM devices that haven't been physically mistreated or had roms flashed in a hamfisted way.

Sitting down a couple of times with a touchscreen phone in the front pocket of a tight pair of trousers will always flex the device just enough for the display to fail somewhere down the line - usually long after the offender has left our employ and the device has been passed on to the next user...

Mind you I'll probably pick up a Touch Pro 2 when my contract is up for renewal...:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] matt44:
I had one for a few months and didnt like it.

I am not remotely clued up on the technical side of things so this is very much a laymans report: ;)

It had lots of features I liked but on the whole the phone was too much hassle and its cons outweighed its pro's. (the poor camera, the "black screen" when on the phone thing, the poor on/off button on the top, the poor lock/unlock system. But i loved the interface of the phone.

Swapped it for a LG Renoir and miss the Diamond, but they both have things the other doesnt. So I am no better off.

When will someone make the perfect phone? lol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] eurofan:
The Diamond is excellent if you can handle it meaning you have really get into tweaking. Out of the box I would not recommend it but if you are willing improve it on your own by using the helpful programs of this forum than it's an excellent choice.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nmjones:
I have had several PDA phones: Sansung i700, i730, i760, HTC Mogul. Of those I loved the i760 with it's number keypad (granted it had it's issues also). Hated the Mogul (low memory issue and slow). The Diamond I consider an outstanding phone. My biggest issue is the lack of responsiveness of the screen. Takes some getting use to. I did the registry changes but didn't notice a real difference. Compared to the other PDA phones I mentioned I love the display quality, size, look, feel, and $10 internet with Sprint. Perfect phone for me. The battery life I can deal with. I have a cradle with a spare battery, a car charger and spare charger at work so I'm always prepared. By the way the battery life seems to have gotten better with the latest ROM update. I could recomend it but I always let people know of the battery issue, screen responsiveness and still having problems with time issue here in Arizona (changes by an hour every once in a while for some reason).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DanPratt:
I second that!!!

It wasn't great out of the box. But now.... I love tweaking/flashing and would recommend it to anyone.

Although, if your thinking of purchasing a diamond, personally, I would wait till the 'Touch Diamond 2' is released.:D
