[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EFjazz:
has anyone figured out a way to get the GPS to work with any nav software (i have the Garmin SD card) or use the HTC Internet Sharing without having to give AT&T the extra dough every month?

Also, do these features work with a new ROM?

thanks guys!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimanywhere:
GPS on Pure is not locked so even with the AT&T stock ROM you should be able to run you nav software. I personally have tried Google Maps, Bing and TomTom, all working fine, so I don't think there should be a reason for Garmin not to work.

Haven't checked the Internet Sharing with stock ROM though because impatience just drove me putting a cooked ROM onto the device before I really explored all the stock ROM features/bloatwares. However, I can confirm that Internet Sharing works like a charm with my current ROM (I'm running Duttys at this point and am going to try out EnergyROM pretty soon).

Hope this helps.

I'm using the stock rom that comes from ATT Pure.

I installed Garmin, Google Maps and Bing and all of them are working without making any change to registries or any trick.

definitively the GPS is not locked on the original ATT Rom

Following along with the others in this thread. Third party GPS tools seem to work well.

Is anyone else having this issue (having searched, haven't found 'lest I'm blind :-) )

On my AT&T Pure, have GPSToday (full app, not the "today screen" version) and Bing. Both have worked fine on my old Kaiser, when GPS running, the apps both actively download new map sections as I go...

However...

On the Pure, if I open either app and run GPS, the app doesn't update maps, but when I stay in the app and turn OFF the GPS, both apps will start downloading map data (from the centerpoint of the last GPS position...

it's almost like there's something in the Pure (or some setting I've screwed up?) that shuts off these apps' access to the data network when the GPS is on... I'll test that this afternoon after my class, by allowing GPS to run in Bing and seeing if IE will hit the Internet... but in the meantime, just wondering if anyone else is/has experienced this?

Great, worked for At&t Pure. I'm now using MEdia Net. You may be able to change the registry key Value from At&t ISP Net to MEdia Net so you won't have to deal with accdidently clicking the drop-down when you connect.

How do i get the ATT Pure to Share the Internet

I can't get the phone to to the internet sharing, I have uninstalled the proxy but to no good. If you go to the program for intenet sharing I dont get any option, I click to connect and the error message says unable to connect. Is there a register edit to be done or do i have to pay ATT more $$$$ for the service?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
First go to Settings\Connections\Connections\Advanced\Select Networks and set both to Media Net, click OK.

Then go to Tasks\Manage Existing Connections\Proxy Settings and check "This network connects to the internet" and uncheck "This network uses a proxy server", also remove the proxy server settings.

For the second part, it may be greyed out if you're on the stock ROM, if so, install the RemoveHiddenProxy.cab posted previously.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lynxz3:
Hi guys,

I've been reading up on Rogers 3G support and i understand that rogers uses 850MHz for their HSDPA am i correct in this assumption?

On that note would the Australian Touch Pro 2 T7381 work with Rogers 3G since it utilizes 850Mhz band for HSPA?

This is the network specs of the phone

Network

HSPA/WCDMA:

Australia & USA: 850/2100 MHz (Fully support Telstra Next G Networks)

Up to 2 Mbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE:

Europe/Asia: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz (Band frequency, HSPA availability, and data speed are operator dependent.)

Keeping in mind that this phone doesnt support Rogers HSUPA on 1900MHz which i am lead to believe is Rogers 3G uplink frequency
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] koolaubob:
Mine works on AT&T

:DMy 7381 from Telstra in Oz works a-ok on AT&T 3-G. I think all of North America has the same network specs...:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] craiglevett:
Hi there,

I just bought that phone from Australia and I am 99% sure the 3G will work with Rogers/Fido.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lynxz3:
@ craiglevett

Ohh awesome... i'll await to see how yours works out ;)

how much did you pay for for yours? the cheapest i've seen it for is $687 CAD
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tak.japan:
I think it will work according to wikipedia, rogers uses 850 MHz.

UMTS/HSPA on the 850 MHz band (Also known as 3G GSM)

let me know if it works, I'm planning to buy it as well..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petard:
Get the AT&T Tilt 2 instead, it will cost you half as much and will also support the 1900MHz band.

The voice dialer in the Android platform is so incredibly flawed yet it doesn't seem as if they notice/care. This issue needs to be starred by more people for it to become something they will look at IMO.

Why should a voice dialer require user input? Isn't the point of a voice dialer such that you can use it by simply pressing the button on your BT headset and instructing the application to choose for you?

Thanks for your time.

Bump. Please support. This issue needs to be resolved!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] CLLC:
Isn't this function available in Donut??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rickytenzer:
What feature? Voice search? Yes, but it requires an internet connection to work. So for those of us that don't have a data plan, it's worthless. Also, the button on a BT headset will activate the voice dialer, not voice search so we still have the same issue.

I have never in my life known a person who actually uses a Voice Dialer. As far as I'm concerned they can remove it from the OS entirely, I'd rather that Google devotes their resources to something useful.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rickytenzer:
You happen to be one of the lucky ones who DOESN'T live in an area where headsets are required by law while driving. If a cop so much as sees a phone in my hand, I can get a $300 ticket.

For us, it's absolutely imperative. I can't really explain to a cop that Android requires me to input my selection when using the Voice Dialer.

So please, for us unlucky people, give us 30 seconds of your time and star the issue.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] caesar gdi:
So you guys do not have to click something on the phone when using the voice dialer? We are not saying that the voice recognition does work we are saying that it is not completely hands free.

Here's a Quote from the defect that accurately describes the problem.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] caesar gdi:
you must be running a different rom than me. I am running the stock rom and when i say Call voicemail it immediately beeps and shows a "call Voicemail" Yes or No prompt.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rickytenzer:
I am fully aware of the Voice Search function on Donut. First of all, I have a Rogers HTC Magic and they have not yet released the Donut update. Second, and most important, there are two issues with using the Voice Search in Donut as a Voice Dialer:

1) It requires an internet connection to function, so those of us without a data plan would not be able to benefit from it.

2) A Voice Dialer is designed to be used in the car when it's illegal to touch your phone. In this case, a BT headset's "answer" button would still activate the Voice Dialer, not the Voice Search. So we would still have to unlock the phone and click on the Voice Search. You can see how this would be an issue when using a phone in the car is illegal.

Chris Boyle developed this application http://chris.boyle.name/projects/searchongreen today that alters a long-press of the answer button from opening the Voice Dialer to opening Voice Search. That's definitely a step in the right direction, but not quite useful yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Zoide_:
It turns out the Voice Dialer is open source: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/VoiceDialer.git;a=summary

Maybe we can enhance it?

I was looking at VoiceDialerActivity.java and the most interesting part is the function onRecognitionSuccess(), which starts at line 383:

/**

* Called by the {@link RecognizerEngine} when is succeeds. If there is

* only one item, then the Intent is dispatched immediately.

* If there are more, then an AlertDialog is displayed and the user is

* prompted to select.

* @param intents a list of Intents corresponding to the sentences.

*/

public void onRecognitionSuccess(final Intent[] intents)

We could modify it so that if there is more than one item, it reads the items out loud and then does another recognition cycle among those items.

I've never developed for Android and I haven't touched Java in *years*, but maybe if we work together we can crack this.

I've noticed that anddev.org is more geared towards app development, though.

Ideas/suggestions?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rickytenzer:
Wow, great find. I have barely any experience in coding and NONE in Java but the general idea behind coding is logic, so I should be able to help from the outside looking in. The only issue I have with what you're suggesting is the voice-module that would be able to repeat the options to the user: does such a thing exist on the Android platform?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Zoide_:
Android includes a text-to-speech library (http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.svox.langpack.installer) that is used by many programs to read text out loud ;)

That said, I've never used it...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rickytenzer:
Sweet! It's times like this I wish I got a degree in Computer Engineering instead of Mechanical Engineering.

Maybe we could add this to the dev forum and someone could take a crack at it?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Johnster988:
I apologize if this thread has been seen before, I searched and couldn't find anything pertinent. Anyways, my phone has recently started to freeze, causing me to turn it off where it then erases its memory equivalent to a hard reset on an hourly basis. This happens even if I turn it off without it freezing it still acts like I performed a hard reset on it. Also when I text my messages fail to send because I get the error code "failed to encode message" And the majority of my programs are not working as in it will say something like "failed to run xml file" or "failed to run kfreeplay file." I tried flashing different roms to no avail. I think there are some crucial memory blocks on my phone that have been corrupted. I am at a loss as to what to do and any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

what ROMs? WinMo 6.5 roms?

I had the reset issue, until I flashed to stock ROM first, then to 6.5 ROM. Time will tell, as I just did that this morning :p

I made the mistake of not reading the cook's FAQ at the beginning of his thread about flashing to stock ROM first :rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Johnster988:
Well this all came about because my PDA corner ultimate V.5 was getting slow so I was going to upgrade to make it faster. When I flashed the new ROM it turned bad and so I flashed to some other ROMS which had the same problem. So I eventually went back to my PDA corner ultimate V.5 but I am still having the problems associated with the other Roms as well. I will try flashing the stock Rom see if that helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Johnster988:
No dice reflashing the stock ROM because I use a mac and so the only way I can flash is through USB and the file isn't able to be flashed by USB only through .exe Any other suggestions?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] krouth:
I 2nd "cmwgimp" in that flashing the stock ROM BEFORE flashing a new ROM is a must. If you read through any of the ROM threads you will find that to be true as well.

The fact that you haven't flashed the stock ROM before trying the new ROM's is most certainly the reason all of the additional ROM's you flashed after PDA Ultimate V5 have had problems.

Download the HTC stock ROM onto a flash drive, find someone with a PC (maybe even a library/college/etc.) and reload it from there. It will take less than 15 minutes and it will certainly eliminate many of your issues. Just remember to hard reset after loading the stock ROM, then hard reset again after loading your "preferred" ROM.

Hope this helps! Take care! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Alternatively, you can download the HTC stock ROM, extract it using any UnRAR program for OS X (a google search will yield plenty of results) and after doing that, rename the extracted file called RUU_Signed.nbh to KAISIMG.nbh. Then, you can move KAISIMG.nbh to your MicroSD card using a card reader, and put that back in your device. Hold the Camera and Power Button at the same time while the device is off to load the bootloader, and if you did everything right, you should be able to follow the instructions from there.

Hi all,

Thinking about buying the HTC touch diamond 2. The thing is I like the look of samsung omnia 2, which has better specs than the diamond, however I prefer touchflo 3D and the form factor of the diamond and it seems a safer bet, plus it has the custom roms and excellent support of these forums ;)

Now the diamond 2 has been out a while so would you still buy one now, or would you wait? Also are they usually reliable or are they prone to bad ones?

Cheers
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] glyndal:
I'd wait, Leo just got announced :)

that is, if you can wait :P
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ArtieQ:
You should definately wait some months, don't buy a D2 then get dissapointed when HTC announce yet another phone. HD2 will definately be a phone you want to buy.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
The Diamond 2 came out in April. Well that was 6 months ago. In 6 months the D3 will be out and so will other phones. You will be disappointed if you buy it now and learner that in 4 months a better phone will be out. I'd say upgrade to the HD2 or get the Omnia if you want it. I'm sure there will be a cook that will get TouchFlo3D onto it. Many people have it running on their Xperias. It's all WinMo so it all works the same.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Fru T Bunn:
TD2 is a fine phone and if it's in your budget and like the form factor then it's definately worth considering. You could wait for the next version but then you are playing the waiting game and you could end up without.

I have had the TD2 since it came out in the UK which is only some 6 months or so ago and I will be upgrading to the HD2 which is a phone with everything I need.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] loriolus:
Although HD2 has almost everything I want in a phone I would never buy it just because of its enormous size. All of you guys are so excited about this device but none of you have had anything that big before. It would be very uncomfortable to carry it around. HTC Pure/Diamond 2 just came out here in the US on AT&T for a very affordable price. I don't know where you're located but if you're in US I highly recomend checking this phone out.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] indyjonesUK:
Cheers for the comments, I agree that the touch HD2 looks like an awesome bit of kit it just seems a bit on the huge size, and where at work I need to carry a blackberry around pocket space is hard to come by!

As a side note if I would get the touch diamond 2 I would get it on a 12 month contract so it would not be a huge amount of time to wait if say a snapdragon diamond 3 came out

Please keep the comments coming :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] scoojay:
I'd wait a few weeks and see what the n900 is like in the flesh. I wstched a couple of video's of it yesterday and I was taken.

Having had nseries phones up till I got my Diamond, O just wsn't immpressed with their touchscreen efforts, I went for the Topaz. Granted, ot is the best looking, both in terms of form factor, and the gui, my homescreem looks ****ing awesome for what is essentially a phone, and i'm on stock!

Having went onto maemos site snd had a hands on look at some of the developers using it, this thing looks amazing, the browser and desktop are totally stunning. The specs for it something else too.

Although the Topaz is highly moddable, most of them are to do with the look and user funtuality, not like the things you could do with a symbian device. Look for thing on here called phonejacker or something, I could do this on my n95, over bluetooth 2years ago, by simply running a python commamd, look at kerfuffle to get working on winmo. I could also use my phone as a wii remote. It's those type of things that I don't like about my Topaz, the potential to do things woth winmo, but after appearance, the nokia was better device.

If this kind of functionality can be brought to the maemo5 platform, then it's hasty goodbye this wonderful piece of eyecandy.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] indyjonesUK:
Why I don't doubt what your saying I have personally never been a fan of the symbian OS. Hence why I am stickign with WinMo its not the best but it does everything you want it just sometimes takes a long while to get there!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] scoojay:
The n900 doesn't run symnian, it's on linux based maemo5.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PretoriaPhil:
The Diamond 2 is a great phone, and with the WinMo 6.5 upgrade will be as good as anything on the market.

The HD2 is way too big for my taste.

You can wait, but that is a perpetual cycle because there will always be a new phone coming out in a couple of months, so when do you stop waiting and actually get a phone?
