[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] colonel:
I agree with alot of the comments

Basically the HTC Diamond, or it many variants, is an excellent device (and I have had many many many devices).

What it has going for it:

1. Size

2. Weight

3. Fantastic screen

4. Looks nice and cute/good form factor

5. Well made

Issues:

6. Battery should have been bigger - not really an issue for me as I have a charger at work and home. I tend to charge every two days unless I have been using it intensly and then top up on the day (normally I top up if on 2 bars).

7. Shipped firmwares in the UK are mostly pants!

8. No card slot. Now I want to be clear about this, if you are just installing programs and/or data the 4GB storage is absolutely fine, more then enough in fact. It also is good for a small set of videos or music. However, if you want to store large amounts of music or videos then this device is not for you!

Basically, if you upgrade the Diamond after purchase to one of the more excellent ROMs on this site, it will have a beautiful display and quick response.

Also, note that, unlike something like the HTC Touch, this is a premium device. Which means it has nice touches like the stylus is held in magnetically and also, when you pull the stylus out it automatically switches the display on.

In terms of the Diamond 2 issue, that is obviously a better device, but the price will reflect it, and the HTC Diamond is now looking very good value. Personally, I like buying phones at the end of their run, as the firmware and price are the best.

Lastly, the HTC Diamond is a bit of a cult device. Why is this important ? Because it means that the support on xda-developers is much better then the less popular devices. As the HTC Diamond's price goes down, this will just increase.

best rgds
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imrock:
i just seriously love my diamond..the price on ebay is going down at a rapid pace n yeah..i love it bcoz of all the tweakin u can do on it..:p

man oh man..on which other device can u get a "not yet working" android os as well as some iphone like stuff for unlockin, music etc..n u can just about change everything thats on the phone..

tht may be coz its my first ever windows mobile phone :o n i was suprised by the remote desktop..use it to play poker on facebook now!! wanna view tv for uefa cup late at night..no problemo..n the autofocus camera with a beautiful vga screen adds as the biggest pro as i snap pics of my college assignments that are readable on its vga screen

i am a little disappointed with the touch screen though..cos when in remote desktop full screen, u cannot reach to the minimize, maximize n close buttons.. though u can use another software but its the touchscreen fault as the 4 corners of the screen are difficult to tap..

but overall im very satisfied n recommend it to all:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mancsoulja:
The diamond rules!!! Buy one!! Buy one now :d
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] gerryjoson:
I just bought one cheap,don't like the diamond 2,it has no d-pad and looks a fair bit bigger.

The screen quality (colours and contrast)from what I've seen on youtube against the likes of the HD is what made me keen on it.

I have been using O2 flames for the last 2 years,so the battery life will be something I'm used to.

Hopefully it isn't like the atom life I bought and ended up selling within a week
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] colonel:
good luck! the quality of the diamond is much nicer then the atom.

start off on a good foot with a good rom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] liamhere:
had a diamond sinve day 1 of orange uk launch

once flashed........a great phone.

does everything i want and more....so its gets a 10/10 from me...

if thats worth anything to you :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Davey101:
^^^ Fanboy... :p ;)

My opinion is that the Diamond is a nice attractive phone in a good size. Having said that, there are 3 major flaws:

1. Battery life

2. Speed

3. Software

The software one is the most solvable, with the number of tweaks, ROMs and free apps available here. I've supplemented that with a large amount of commercial software in order to get the best possible experience but this is of course very expensive to do properly.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] slavke1976:
Diamond is very good phone, i think you will never regret if you will buy one.

About problem on screen and presure ( i have that problem ), i think it comes because, when need to open back for sim card or for battery. To open back we need to press screen.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] polllux:
Had a diamond around 9 or 10 months now, considered buying an HD or a few other wannabees but any time I consider buying a new phone I just need to look @ my diamond & I remember why it's so damn good, It's looks haven't been matched or surpassed yet & the so called newer updated htc 1's/ other makes aren't that much better IMHO in performance etc... oh yeah & their all big fat bricks !!!

I'm sticking to my precious DIAMOND for a while yet thx :p ;)

Oh & BTW that htc update has finally finally fixed it's biggest/ annoying bug, my diamond hasn't skipped an mp3 track since I installed it, I think I'll keep mine forever now hehehehe... ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] paultje_007:
Hi all,

The light at the back that works like, when you flip the phone upside down while having a caller, the phone mutes, and the light flashes so you are aware you still have someone on the phone. (which i think is a useless issue of having a light for, for just that reason only)

I like my flashlight on the first Touch Pro. Specially with some good software where it can also work as a Torch!

Does anyone know if the light on the back of the TPII can work as a camera-flashlight or as a torch?

Extra comments:

TPII blows, it doesn't have much better hardware then TP. Just a bit better software upgrade. To bad.

Look at samsung, LG etc. all already with 8MP camera's! Here comes HTC's latest: with a 3.2MP, :mad: and NO flash!

I hope the leaked out details for HTC 2009 line-up will come true.

One (SuperStar) supposedly will have nVidia chipset :confused:, I hope so, finally to watch DivX/XviD videos!!!

And one (Thoth) will have a chipset of a 1000Mhz processor!

Hopefully HTC will combine the 2 forces together!

A phone with lots of internal mem, fast processor, fast HD video chipset (incl. tv-out), good quality speakers and mics, a 8MP camera! WITH FLASHLIGHT for f*ck sake! at least 1800Mah battery! Qwerty Keyboard Slider. Side-Keys for easy mobile gaming. And maybe even the latest MicroVision PicoP micro-projector!

Come-on HTC, you want to make profit again? Make the best available phone out today!

Greetings

P.

i assume that if someone makes and app (similar to the iphones) that makes the screen completely white and maxes out the backlight then yes! but it wont work as well as an LED flash like with the TP
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DavidMc0:
There is no LED for the camera that could be used as a flashlight.

An indicator LED is nowhere near powerful enough to act as a flashlight usually, so I don't think you'll be in luck.

Regarding your comments saying how the TP2 'blows', I'd say it's a big step forward from the TP2 - a proper replacement for the Kaiser (big WVGA tilting screen!). Not perfect, but it is probably the best hardware Qwerty phone on the market (or will be!).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jacina:
I always hear ppl complaining about the camera...

Cameras in Phones don't have as much room, as such they're limited in size, making the Mpixels harder to achieve, making the threshold for the oh so fun whitenoise lower.

I'd be happier with a 3.2 that gives me perfect pics, as opposed to a 8.0 that gives me noise.

Also if I KNOW I'm going to take pictures... I have a camera for that. The camera on the phone is just for "geez lemme get a pic to remember that" for anything more a phonecam just won't cut it without all the "gimmicks" a real camera has (like a real focus)

A flash? on a Phone targetted at businessmen... well yeah why? :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] d474rpr:
A flashlight? Seriously? :cool:

The white led's that lay under the Call and End buttons are well enough to come with a warning label on their own.

People are seriously concerned whether a hi-tech piece of mobile communication and data access device can double as a f'n flashlight? wow.:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
There is an app called flashlite in dev and hack section

This can be helpfull your question
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bersca:
HTC's site lists the following for camera in their specs for the TP:

CameraMain camera: 3.2 megapixel color camera with auto focus and flash light

Second camera: VGA CMOS color camera

Here is the listing for the TP2:

CameraMain camera: 3.2 megapixel color camera with auto focus

Second camera: VGA CMOS color camera

I think that pretty much sums it up for you. I like the flashlight on my TP, but this is definitely not a deal breaker for me. I think the screen size is a significant upgrade over the TP, otherwise the internal hardware is more or less the same. I could care less about 8MP. My 3.2MP Olympus camera is still the best one I have owned. Why do you need more than that especially in a phone?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RobinVossen:
Hello All,

I live in the Netherlands... and I got a HTC Vox (S710).

Ill soon get a new contract and a new phone (WhooWhoo a G1 yey!! :)) anyway. I want to give my HTC Vox to my best friend. She lives in the United Kingdom though.. So is there a way to use a United Kingdom SIM card in it..? or does it have to do with something like the Signals it sends and that this lock is Hardware..? Since if this is software related I'd love to try stuff =)

Thanks already..

Cheers,

Hey guys,

Just wrote a little app overnight which gets the latest images from explodingdog.com and sets them as your wallpaper.

Check it out, called: explodingdog.

Best of all, it's FREE! haha.

Will post updates on my twitter when I get round to it (dazbradbury).

http://dazbradbury.googlepages.com/

Enjoy.

Daz.
[G1 Apps and Games] RobertoIsRad:
Holy crap! Thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] dazbradbury:
v1.5.0 released: Option to have the latest explodingdog images automatically pushed to the phone...
[G1 Apps and Games] dazbradbury:
v2.0.0 - Image previews and more...

Ok, was away for a few days, but just got back and implemented a few changes. Image previews, and background service improvements...

Try it out...

Daz.
[G1 Apps and Games] dazbradbury:

[G1 Apps and Games] dazbradbury:
Fairly major design change... give it a go and let me know what you think.
[G1 Apps and Games] gimiento:
Running JF 1.5 and after "updating wallpaper", working process just seems to keep going, doesn't back out of itself. Have to hit back button to go back to app mainscreen.

Is this app supposed to auto-set wallpaper with new images?
[G1 Apps and Games] dazbradbury:
Are you on 3G/GPRS? Have you tried waiting 30 seconds or so? Perhaps I should revert back to the progress bar style...

If you're on 3G, the initial search should take less than 10 seconds, and setting the wallpaper, less than 5 seconds. On GPRS it can take anywhere up to a minute, and around 10-15 to set the wallpaper.

Am just going to release an update now which should improve things.

Cheers,

Daz.
[G1 Apps and Games] dazbradbury:
Oh, just understood your comment. Managed to reproduce the bug once, so will work on what's causing it. The background updated correctly though right?

And yes, the app can auto-set wallpaper with new images if you set it to.

Enjoy. Daz.
[G1 Apps and Games] dazbradbury:
Update posted. Made quite a big change to how the app works when you click an image. You should find it's actually nearly instant now.

Enjoy. Daz.
[G1 Apps and Games] gimiento:
Thanks, I'll try new version. Where are the images stored on the phone?
[G1 Apps and Games] dazbradbury:
At the moment, the explodingdog app stores only 1 image at a time in the phone's internal memory. If you check out my Flickr Droid app, that can save images to your SD card. At some point, I'll add that functionality to this....
[G1 Apps and Games] nolageek:
I'm trying to find the thread for the flickr app. I for one would really appreciate it if you had the cached photos go to a hidden folder (starting with a period) so that they don't show up in the regular image browser?
[G1 Apps and Games] dazbradbury:
Flickr Droid thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=512601

I see your point, and my aim is that images don't appear in your image browser UNLESS, you select Set As/Save and View. If you simply browse images and select them (to be set to your wallpaper), you won't see any images appearing in the android image viewer. Or at least, you shouldn't be doing...!

If you still think somethings not right, I'll have a look at it, but I can't see the problem on my phone...

Thanks for the feedback, Daz.
[G1 Apps and Games] dazbradbury:
Just made a big change to what goes on behind the scenes with explodingdog.

Made it possible to code in the Dog Hates ME sub-site in the future too...!

Enjoy!

[Networking] jcarver_14:
Hello everyone,

This is my first post and I was hoping you all may be able to help me wiht a concept I have for the Tytn II. Currently I am purchasing the Tytn II from Cincinnati Bell. This phone is identical to the AT&T Tilt. Its not the Euro version with the second camera. Cincinnati bell has informed me that this phone will not work on their 3G network because they are going to be using the 1700/2100 bands and the phone does not support the 1700 as it needs to support both bands. Athough AT&T states this phones works at 3G on their 1900 ban network.

So heres where it gets good. Cincinnati bell uses AT&T's network for roaming. Is it possible to use this phone at the 1900 ban on At&T network when i am raoming and receive the 3G speeds (providing I have a 3G sim card). As well is it possible to force the phone to use the AT&T network while I am here in cincinnati,OH instead of the Cincinnati bell network.
[XPERIA X1 General] Wlk:
Is there any tool or guide to clean system folder of X1? My problem is that there is load of files by default, so openning takes about 5-7s. After installing Manila, amount of files is doubled (or even more multiplied) and response to openning system folder goes up to something about 20s. And it seems to me, that many programs acces this folder (its really noticeable on startup time of iGo 8 for example). More files - longer startup/response times and vice versa.

No idea why everything have to be mashed in this folder? Any solution?
[XPERIA X1 General] Rudegar:
if you mean \windows then no

most the files there are located in the rom

and can't be deleted and don't use your storage
[XPERIA X1 General] de Wolfe:
For me the SK-Tools do quite a good job in cleaning up a little bit my system.

The loading time is easy solved by flashing with a ROM from itje or similar. My phone was also deadly slow with original ROM
[XPERIA X1 General] THE GRIZZ:
not sure what cause the slowness, but itje's 5.061 rom is a LOT faster than his previous builds in showing the contents of windows folder faster

[G1 General] limitlis:
Hey All.

All of a sudden my phone just started acting really weird as if i had mapped 2 of the buttons to keyboard sequences.

The "Del" button types JHGL and does volume down then back up.

Also the "Back" button types e542i3 then vibrates

Anyone have any ideas of what's going on or how to fix it?

I had JF's RC33 rooted then did a full wipe and moved to the Magic 5.02H it appeared to go away for a little bit but is back now. even after I restart the phone it happens again.

Atleast now I have an onscreen keyboard to go around the problem, it's just really annoying and I hope it's not a hardware issue.

Thanks in advance.

I am having the same exact problem.. Where is this water damage sticker I keep hearing about?

I am due in court and cannot talk to the people I need to talk to about it right now and I am getting extremely frustrated.. This has to be something to do with super user right? Something got activated and is recognizing different commands or some BS from these keys?
[G1 General] kp126:
I know neither f you mentioned water damage but thats what mine was doing after it got dumped in water.

any possibility that your phone was exposed to any major moisture?
[G1 General] limitlis:
unfortunately I wasn't able to resolve it and had to go for a replacement.

It could have very well been water damage as on a few occasions i picked up my phone while in the shower to answer a call or reply to a text. I never heard of a water damage sticker myself though.

Sorry.

edit: Ok i did a little research on the water damage sticker and on the G1 it's under the battery on the side walls. When I called the T-mo rep i was asked what color the sticker was. It was white but I guess it turns re/pink when exposed to water.

Hope this helps.

I wanna ask someone to guide me trough to upgrade my Samsung i600 to WM 6.1. (I sooo badly wanna do it!)

I upgraded a few ROM of different devices without any problems.

When i tried Nokser's first i600 release, i bricked my phone. I dunno what happened, but there was no radio. I gave it into a repair centre, and they had to replace PCB......... thats why im sceptical.
