1. Now you successfully flashed, i think you're going off-topic in this thread, you should ask in the ROM thread

2. I don't have that ROM, though I can't help you

3. I told you not to choose Cube versions!;):D

I used to have a HTC Kaiser with maniila 2d installed and used to use a program called M2DC to edit my touchflo. Is there anything like this for our Touch diamond 2's? I would love to be able to change themes at will like I did with Manilla 2d. Sorry if this has already been discussed ;)

Claimed on the insurance with Vodafone and clearly this is not a new phone - there is a crack in the usual place where the stylus goes in - its pretty bad - what should i do?

or should i not have expected a new one when claiming on the insurance but no way is this phone new
[XPERIA X1 General] sdemon:
Take the cracked one back and claim a new one under warranty. It is a known issue so should not be a problem.
[XPERIA X1 General] stormlv:
Jeez man...you must really be unlucky...

The cracks are normally covered by the warranty. I just sent mine in for a case crack (Banbury Service Center, UK)

And just so you know...you're not the only one that got a "brand new" X1 that wasn't ummm... brand new :P Same thing happened in France for me but I couldn't prove that it was used. It was just that my slider felt loose when compared to other X1s. Anyway, now that they have it I hope they'll fix this as well, as I have also mentioned this in the repair claim form.
[XPERIA X1 General] Tischbein:
I would claim the changed X1 as well.

When I received my "new" X1, 'cause the first one got a crack 3 weeks after receiving it, I wanted to to a HardSPL ans just saw, that the delivered X1 was already HardSPL'ed with OliNex 0.52. :eek::rolleyes:
[XPERIA X1 General] Calvin H:
I'm beginning to see sense in the pricing strategy - charge us 2x$$$ because on average they expect to have to replace the darn thing.

Pity it costs some time/effort between replacements. :mad:
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
i think this is about my THIRD X1 now so i dunno who is losing out - this phone has had a lot of problems but i rang Vodafone again and they said they will be collecting it on friday and giving me a replacement. Sure hope its a brand new one.

was supprised they didnt send me to the shop or anything!
[XPERIA X1 General] Fr@:
Oh, I'm still on my first X1... Damn, I really suck! :p

P.S.: sending mine to repair on saturday, have a crack near the volume. Will let you know if I'll get a "new" X1.
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
ah - cool cool - hope they can fix so u dnt lose all ur stuff
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
Got another X1 today - not new - again . the back plate has some paint missing - grrr - the last 1 actaually had R2A installed - this 1 got R1A tho
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
They are f*cking messing me about - they say they coming to pick it up today - no one does - nothing even put in the notes on the account - now saying they wont send me a new one and i will have to wait 72 hours to speak 2 their manager. FFS

Hi, is there any chance to get Topaz disassembly guide?

THX

Edit: Dont need it anymore, I have done it, not difficult at all (similar to Nokia phones). HTC made Topaz very easy to disassembly.

I was cleaning part between digitizer and LCD from dust with antistaic brush and compressed air.

There are just 3 connectors to disconnect mainboard (digitizer, phone receiver and LCD), to get to the LCD. No coaxial cables to connect GPS and bluetooth antenna (all just by touch connectors to the black plastic top back part), Chipset is covered by metal plate, cant see it.

LCD: S/N: 1EJV093Q000069

P/N: 60H00209-00M S508
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] WigglerAway:
Can I request you get some high res photos of the PCB/LCD and/or record the ic part numbers while you've got it apart? It would be really useful to know for Linux/Android development.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] iiciaii:
Can you post what kind of gps chipset is buildin ?

Thanks in advance

Daniel
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] WigglerAway:
Thanks for the photos! Would you be able to post a higher res version of the 3rd one or simply scribe what is written on the back of the LCD. I'm hoping the serial number might give an indication of the chipset used in the LCD.

i unscrewed my diamond2, and i cannot find a way to disassemble it..

help!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] PhilipL:
Hi

Nice work and photos.

One problem that has been reported, and I assume it was something you suffered from, is dust entering through the volume rocker and finding it's way onto the LCD display.

This seems rather an oversight by HTC as usually the LCD panel would have some form of seal or bezel (sticky or foam) to stop dust. Does the LCD panel have anything like this at all?

Regards

Phil

I think we either need to sticky this, or make a new thread that encompasses all disassembly / dust leak information about the topaz.

I still cannot disassemble my device, i wish someone could help :/
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] Guinea.Pig:
Disassembling the Diamond 2 is really simple.

Remove the 4 T5 screws at the four corner

Remove the small plastic cover below the battery (might be optional)

Pop the main plastic body off the face piece (I use a really small flat screw driver) Starting from the top of the device

Remove the 3 connection then pop the main board

Remove the 4 hardware buttons then remove the LCD screen

I'll try to take some pictures when the new LCD screen arrives...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] daffie:
Thanks for the steps. I just yesterday disassembled my TD2, but didn't dare remove the connections on the mainboard. The one on top left (see your pic mainboard.jpg) is no issue, but the other ones are tricky...or at least I thought they are. I couldn't figure out how to exactly remove those connectors. Could you maybe give some steps or info on how to remove those connectors? Thanks again for your help.

You can find housings on ebay, though most don't come with the buttons.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] superXXX:
Hello everyone!

I am a rookie to windows mobile. I would like to flash my X1 but I don't know if this will affect the display of Chinese characters in my phone. I use the keyboard to type chinese too. I don't know how to distinguish which rom will affect my X1's 'Chinese compatibility'. Anyone can teach me how to distinguish which rom is compatible with chinese, or how to make the rom compatible with Chinese.

Million thanks to you!!

I want to turn off the screen while listening to the media player on the speaker. Normally this can be fixed by configuring a hardware button.

However, I can not find a button which works. Has anyone an idea to fix this?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] errevi:
any update :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] AntonyWatson:
A work around

I have had the same problem. My solution is to use AE button plus.

I've assigned Volume up key as follows. 1 click - up arrow, 2 click - page up and long click - volume up.

(Similar for down volume)

Next in media player I assigned up volume key to toggle screen.

Now when I 1x click volume up the screen toggles, but if I long click I get volume bar which then allows volume keys to work as normal ie Single clicks up/down volume.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tracksuit:
alternatively if you're just listening to music you could install nitrogen player. which is far better than the standard media player (imo)

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-nitrogen-player.html

just press the 'power' icon and the screen will switch off and the audio continue to play.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] gdayhtc:
Pocket music is also good
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Pete_S:
Nitrogen! It's superb. And, the volume buttons still work with the screen off (although the latest build links its own volume to the system volume which causes problems - I use v1.0 which leaves system volume separate).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] TinTin:
You can use PowerOptions to turn off the screen while listening to music, see here :

Trick

Hi,

This is a trick that works with the Touch.

1. play some music with the Headphones jacked in

2. with the headphones still in, turn off the screen

3. pull out your headphones and the mediaplayer will use the built in speaker, even though the screen is OFF.

try it and report the results

no warranty, since it works with my Touch, but I don´t know, it may work with the Diamond II.

Hi all! Need help...

I looked in the forum (Diamond and blackstone), but I cant seem to find a definitive answer...

Is there a way to restore the TF3D original (stock) menu/slider icons and taskbar icons in a blackstone?

I found the TF3D Config 0.67 tool for the diamond (that includes the "restore defaults" option), but HD user opinions are that it doesnt work properly on the blackstone, and it has some battery leakage issues...

I need this just because I was messing around and installed a few icons and transparencies (NisseDilligaf Sprintmenuicons and others), and I cant seem to uninstall them and revert to the original TF3D icons; didnt back up files :rolleyes:, and now I'm trying to avoid a hard reset...

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Touch HD General] Georgio_77:
Afaik hard reset won't restore the original files since you've re-writen them in ROM. You need to flash the original ROM. Unless, of course, you can get a hold on the original files for your ROM.
[Touch HD General] Urhilf:
Hm...even worst then... I'll check other ways of getting things back to "stock" icons...

any other thoughts anyone?
[Touch HD General] igorok26:
icons

You can't rewrite files in rom.

To get original icons back you should find their files in windows folder and delete them. OS will simply recreate files from rom. If you can find them you can delete all manila files in windows folder :D (but that will take long time and you will loose all manila modifications). - that's for TF3D

As for taskbar icons you can install any other taskbar and uninstall it then.
[Touch HD General] Urhilf:
Thanks...next time I screw it up, I'll know the "easy" solution...I did a hard reset yesterday and I recovered all the stock slider icons/config and taskbar icons as well...
[XPERIA X1 General] Jasand:
Hi,

My X1 would not play and sounds or when i rang someone i could not hear a thing and neither could they, the same applied for recieving calls the X1 would ring but when i answer there is no sound.

It was like this all day so when i got home i reinstalled generic rom from SEUS but all i noticed after that was the headphone icon apperared on the top of the screen, it wasnt there before,

so after reinstalling ROM the problem was the same so i plugged in my headphones and took them back out and all was fine! i wasted hours setting up my X1 again just because it thought the headphones were in.

however today the same happened out of the blue so i knew what it was, i plugged in my headphones and uplugged and all was fine and so far so good.

WHY does it do this, i never use the jack, always bluetooth so why all of a sudden, also why did it not show me the headphone icon (i did have SEX1 icons installed)

all back to normal and my X1 is fast again so probably a bonus for me. i thought i would share this so noone goes through the same process as me and can find this tread and solve the issue.

Have anyone else come across this?
[XPERIA X1 General] killer8nl:
I had the same problem but they fixed it with a new audio jack when I sended my x1 in for repair for cracks in the case. Never had the problem after that again. So if the problem appears again youcan send it too SE and they will fix it under warrenty

Hi all

My t-mobile MDA III has developed a problem in the last 2 weeks in that it keeps locking up. When you look at the phone its looks fine, the green light is flashing away but when you try and switch it on, nothing happens and I have to do reset before it comes back.

I've tried changing the rom, I was using Black & Blue v5 for a few months and it was fine but that hasn't helped.

One thing I have noticed is regardless of which ROM I use, when the phone starts up it always says "Black & Blue v5"

A hard reset hasn't helped either

Any ideas?

Hi,

I'm dealing with this bug since the beginning..how often does it happen to you?Does it happen with a clean ROM,what apps do you install? In my case it's not so frequent but very annoying because,as you said, from outside the device looks like perfectly working (green light blinking)..but you can't even receive a call! As a result you have a nice brick in your pocket or desk without knowing it. Anyway I still think this could be a sofware problem...I have apparently the same bug when i do a full backup with Spb Backup:when finished and restarts automatically after 15 sec it goes into this "black screen" deeeep sleeep. Eveything goes ok if I manually choose to restart my device.My ROM is equipped with S2U2 running just after you switch on the screen,maybe it could crash the whole phone occasionally, cannot prove it...going to disable it and see. These are only impressions (and no solutions:() but I can say that this problem occurs to me more frequently when i play hard with my Artemis (I mean flashes..install-uninstall things..:D). When the pocketpc is in normal use i must admit it's quite stable. All this to tell that hopefully the device is not broken...I got one motherboard already replaced and I can tell you that the symptomes where different (fading screen...watch out folks:eek:).

Ah,by the way: That "Black&Blue v.5" screen you have is the splashscreen from an old rom you flashed that hasn't been replaced by anything because maybe new roms you put afterwards didn't include any..You can take a look here to change your splash screen:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=317726
