[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] aali-01:
hey guys,

i am about to buy a second hand touch diamond. i was just curious about its recpetion quality on gsm network. kindly share your experiences. i had xperia before but didnt like the reception of that phone. how does xperia recpetion compared to diamond !!

also ... does 6.5 run fast on diamond or is it like xperia (very much sluggish)

as well.

kindly send me your opinions.

i ll be waiting.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vishalkishnani:
Using Diamond since last 9 months and that too on GSM network. Never faced any problem about reception. You can go ahead with ur buying but kindly check the battery usage. As in new phone it doesnt last more than a day...dont know how old the diamond is ...the one u r going to buy second hand.

Regards,

Vishal
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] diamondX04HT:
have used diamond in the past....mostly use HD nowadays....

but no problem with reception...only concern may be battery life...but it should be OK on GSM...I was on 3G...
[HD2 General] Yerry:
What do you think of the HD2 REAR speaker quality?

Could you state below why you think it is good or bad?

Do you have something to compare it to?

Is it better or worse than a Nokia? (I consider their speakers as rather good)
[HD2 General] Archer:
Not too hard to guess what the 1st person put, is it :D

[HD2 General] Archer:
That poll is called "Earpiece and voicecall quality". Hang on, you made it - you should know that! lol

This is for the speaker.
[HD2 General] Xeon:
Hmm.. OP please specify which speaker ie: back speaker just to make things clear.

Well john you got a point :)
[HD2 General] Yerry:
Yes...

And my poll mainly concerns the REAR speaker.

The front speaker, is IMHO rather good.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Well I hope you've voted accordingly on Xeon's poll then ;)
[HD2 General] Yerry:
Yes I did.

But my rear speaker...

Some ppl here are even saying good or brilliant. I figure HTC is using very cheap components and the spread between those must be huge.

I had luck on mine in terms of the earpiece, but I had no luck on the rear speaker.

It is a shame that a 100 Euro Nokia has a better speaker than my HD 2.

Guess I have to return it :-(
[HD2 General] htc12345:
very bad rear speaker or audioprocessing algorithm. rear speaker sounds distorted all the time, no good for a handsfree phonecall or listening music. guess too much volume is pumped to the speaker. not gonna return device anyway. bluetooth headset or headphones.
[HD2 General] timiano:
Coming from iPhone it is very poor for music. Not that the iPhone is high fidelity in any way, but it's much richer. The HD2 speaker is tinny, but it works well for hands free voice, where I thought the iPhone was a bit a sharp and piercing.
[HD2 General] doraemon:
I compare it with TP2 and there is no match. The sound from the HD2 is very distorted when the volume put to high. Still the TP2 is the best sound quality from HTC so far.
[HD2 General] Archer:
The N95 is ridiculously better than ANY HTC device ever made, but that's got nothing to do with this poll, so let's not get into that. Likewise with your TP2 comment. The poll is what you think about the HD2 speaker. It's not asking for comparisons.
[HD2 General] blackheart2925:
ok...given that the rear speaker is tiny , am not expecting much but what i dislike is that the sound is garbled and not clear!

I use the speakerphone a lot for con calls...and compared to my n958gb...the sound is less loud (which is okay) but not clear at all....garbled...where I cannot distinguish properly what is being said :(
[HD2 General] Karlos G:
I think my rear speaker is ok, but I do get a lot of distortion at high volume through the 3.5mm out which is annoying.
[HD2 General] Qazz~:
i find my hd2 speakers to be very well made. not earpiercing at all and sound quality is on par and even better than sony's walkman phones and nokia's express music models
[HD2 General] leoni1980:
I'm pretty sure that aside from the Touch pro 2 HTC use loudspeaker components meant for musical birthday cards. The sound on the HD2 and all the other HTC devices I've owned (including the G1, Magic and Hero) has been appaling compared to all the non-HTC devices I've owned such as the Nokia 5800, iPhone 3gS, Samsung Galaxy, Omnia 2 and Motorola Dext.

It's such a shame that HTC let themselves down like this with their speaker and camera hardware as the BUILD quality of their devices is as good as it gets in my opinion, I just wish they'd stop using crappy parts.

I'm certain the Desire I have on order will also have a crap loudspeaker too.

Just played the same trailer on the HD2 and iPhone YouTube apps and the difference in sound richness - no matter what volume - is deflating.
[HD2 General] trondkk:
The "loud"speaker on the rear of the unit isn't really that loud and becomes very tinny when set to a high volume. Bass is non-existent (not surprisingly).

Works OK for a small conference in quiet surroundings but is not suited for a larger group, noisy surrondings and certainly not music!

This is one of the very few areas where TP2 is miles ahead of it's cooler brother - HD2. The conferencing-ability of the TP2, including the rear speaker, is in my opinion brilliant!
[HD2 General] leoni1980:
....also I don't mean to be a negative nancy but those who have voted the HD2 rear speaker to be 'brilliant' must either have aural deficiencies, have never heard the speakers on a non HTC device or refuse to accept any negative criticism of their beloved device.

There is no smartphone I have come across in the past 18 months that had worse speakers than a HTC-made handset. Most of my friends have some form of HTC device and without prompting all of them have at some point mentioned the poor speaker quality. HTC's speakers have no dynamics to them, so any talking with background noise turns into an incomprehensible mess. On an iPhone or Nokia XPressMusic I can happily listen to my favourite podcasts and music through the loudspeaker but with an HTC device my timpanic membrane is left shuddering as if I had been trapped in a metal dustbin and struck repeatedly with an iron hammer.

So if I can I use a speaker dock.
[HD2 General] concreteman:
crap

This is my third HTC made device - PDA2K, TYTN II and now HD2. I must say i am not an audiophile. TYTN II was not too bad, but HD2 is pretty bad. Bought my wife an iphone 3GS (got it cheap as upgrade on phone plan)

my HD2 is embarrasing as a music player compared to the Iphone.

I have had to buy a set of earphones Stenheiser for it, the included ones were crap too. For a NZ$1000 phone, it's unacceptable.
[HD2 General] DrATty:
The rear speaker is OK but distorts at volume.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] JeffS17:
ive had a Fuze for almoist a year now and i really like the phone. the other day something went wrong on the phone and the screen just simply wont work. its black no matter what. the phone actually does come on because it vibrates when i turn it on after taking battery in/out. i can even answer phone calls and adjust volume with side buttons and everything. its just the screen that does not work.

i called the warranty place and they send me a new Fuze which is good, but im a bit scared sending this one back to them (which i have to do within the next 5 days). will they find out the original Hard SPL and ROM is not loaded onto the phone? i had a custom ROM on there and im afraid they might discover this and charge me a ridiculous amount of money for my new phone. does anyone have any insight about this or what i should do?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] LBCta:
I think your fears are right, safest bet is to go stock on everything. First thing is to get the ATT ROM from here:

http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-fuze/downloads/

This will install the latest stock ROM and Radio. I verified the download works.

Next, go here to get the stock SPL:

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] JeffS17:
thank you this is going to be difficult without a screen but im going to try !

wow my screen miraculously started working after being nonresponsive for 5 days i was able to restore everything to stock :D

they might think its fishy when i send the phone back in and everything works fine but oh well, it definitely did NOT work for like 4-5 days...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisyak:
For noobs their is alot of overwhelming info in regards to doing this and seems to be a lil more simple on other models.....have read for hours on the forum and seems to be conflicting info and also a kernel file issue on the rogers dream rooting has me a lil confused....i have had my phone for 6 months and customized as much as you can without a root but i am getting bored and is time to play with it...wanna run roms and all the latest stuff on it and have access to the paid market and save to my sd card and all that other good stuff everyone else is doing.....lol.....i don't want to brick my phone but i would like to root it.....

okay to the point..................

now when i open Flash Rec the "Flash Custom Recovery Image" button does not even appear and i cannot get to the into Recovery mode.

One thing i noticed in Flash Rec says Phone type is EB1/32A...thought would be 32B? could this be a problem from trying to flash earlier?

i need rooting rogers dream 32b for dummies instructions....lol....

p.s someone needs to develop idiot proof rooting software with android ready to explode their will be alot of noobs with bricks.....lol.....

Here's the tutorial I suggest following:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod

And yes it does work with 32B. I cannot stress the importance of making sure you know and are 100% comfortable with what you're doing to your phone. If you have to annoy the heck out of xda users to do so then by all means do it :D.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisyak:
wow,seems like the rogers dream is more of a pain to root and a little limited cause of kernel issue....sounds like it could make adding future roms a pain cause they could be buggy.....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beav_35:
Its really not that bad if you just want to stick with cyanogen because the EBI1 port is always released promptly. There might be some other EBI1 roms posted in the sapphire development section, check it out. There is another method that makes your the rogers dream compatible with any rom that works on the G1. Some people have reported some connection issues with this method but it works fine for many others. I would only recommend going with that method if the selection of EBI1 roms isn't enough for you.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4280573&postcount=130

The rogers dream is actually EBI1/32B. The reason it says 32A is posted here.

If you have any questions about this be sure to ask away before you decide to root. ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisyak:
i would like to be able to run the latest roms 2.0 and 2.1 once stable and new and up coming roms,sense ui and gadgets..... is it better to go with the other method you mentioned then the cyanogenmod based on that?

then when type in fastboot flash system system.img i get error: cannot load 'system.img'
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beav_35:
Make sure that the system.img file you downloaded is in the same folder as fastboot (the "tools" folder).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisyak:
I put the system.img file in the same folder as fastboot (the "tools" folder) on my computer and tried it once again only to receive the same error message.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beav_35:
It does need to be in that folder but I am not sure why you are still getting that same message. You could try rebooting your phone and starting that section over again. The file could be corrupt. Verify the MD5 sum that is posted on the guide.

Edit: You need to cd to the tools directory before running that command

We all love our Tattoos and so I do, but have a problem with the Mobile Network, which is not working. I am in the Vodafone network in Romania, I have the Mobile Internet service activated and running (I used it on other mobile phones).

I did setup the Access Point Names as mentioned on the website:

Name: Mobile Internet

APN: internet.vodafone.ro

MCC: 226

MNC: 01

When I switch ON the Mobile Network it tells me that it's Turning on...

Then it looks as if it's connected, but it's not, there is no connection icon in the status bar and I can't go online.

Do you guys have this problem, did you find or do you know any solution?

Thanks

I couldn't quite find the answer I'm looking for, but I plan on importing a device from Roger and unlocking it for use on At&t in the US. My concern is that I won't have access to the US market or Google Navigation without hacking. Does anyone know if this is the case or should I have no issues?

How does Google Market or Google Maps Navigation determine where you are?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] icon57:
gps? would be my guess
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bjtheone:
Access to the market is carrier based. Not sure what the market would do as I don't believe AT&T has any android devices yet (which means they will not have a carrier id in the market.

As long as your phone has a Rogers carrier id you will not have access to paid apps. You can get around this by installing MarketEnabler (requires root access) and setting your "market carrier id" to a carrier with paid app access (like T-Mobile). This id only affects market access. I am on Rogers in Canada, and typically have mine set to T-Mobile.

Google maps works everywhere in the world that Google has map data. Google Nav only works by default in the US. They are now doing server side checks and preventing it from working outside the US. As far as I know the server side checks are based on your reported location, via GPS info. So Nav would work in the US. HOWEVER, Nav requires Android 1.6 and Rogers phones are currently 1.5. If you root you can load a 1.6 based ROM.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RodrigoKim:
If you look under settings>privacy, you can see that there is an option for "Use My Location", which is used for google search results and other google services.

I'm guessing the other google services include the market.

as for google maps, the phone will use its GPS to locate you in the map, so no worries on that one.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsjr2006:
I know about that thanks. I would like to know from someone who actually knows though, no disrespect, rather than guessing.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] slamming_sammy1:
Hi,

sorry if I'm cross-posting. i posted in the 'tael' rom thread yesterday and realized that it actually applies to lots of 6.5 roms. my question is, is there a way (sorry if it was mentioned, i searched but couldn't find anything) to change the soft keys so that it has only 2 keys (left most and right most) like the older 6.1 style (or some 6.5 has it also like Energy). i know the left 'win' key is helpful too, but it's just very convenient when you are driving or can't really look at your phone to find the middle of the bottom portion of the screen to get to the softkey, whereas if they were at the leftmost and rightmost area it is so much easier to get to. so wondering if there's a cab or something already out there?

thanks.
