[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Pete_S:
We know it's not sealed properly because of the "dust under screen near volume buttons" issue.

Agree completely.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] vanilla.coffee:
The phone comes packaged in a clear plastic selophane sleeve and printed on the sleeve it says...

"Important

To prevent damage, do not apply excessive pressure to the screen or device case.

Please remove the device from your pants pocket before sitting down. For more details see the quick start guide."

In the quick start guide (Safety and other notices) under General Precautions it mentions again the above.

Most people dont read the manual in my experience. ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] spyder4:
I have NEVER exerted excessive force on my screen. I never even use the stylus, always the end of my thumb. If the amount of force I have been using on this screen is too much, then this should NOT be a touch phone, as all I have been doing is 'touching' it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] vanilla.coffee:
I never said you did. I was merely pointing out that the warning is in the manual.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] kingvui78:
Yes, Newton ring's issue is under warranty cover by my HTC distributor in Malaysia, and it takes 1 week time to return back for me!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] spyder4:
I have been told by HTC that they will not cover this. Unfortunately, even if they would, I am in Australia, and purchased my phone online. As such, I would need to send my phone overseas (to its country of delivery) in order to take advantage of the warranty. Once I tally up the shipping fees, including insurance, and the time I will be without my phone, it's really not worth it. I would sooner buy a new digitizer/LCD and repair it myself.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tlsty:
guys, could somebody tell me how durable is the "display" of my/ours TD2? display = housing, digitiser, LCD. I always carry my phone in a cover - e.g.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180569729684&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_2337wt_836

it is out of some "plastic leather" and it has probably hard paper inside on sides facing display and bottom cover.

I try not to be rough when "playing around" with my phone. But I do not use stylus all the time, but I try not tu punch the screen when using it. I carry it almost all the time in my jeans pocket - display facing outwards my body (preventing excessive pressure on it).

do you thing above listed "points" can prevent newton rings?

THX!!!!!!!!!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] nim.dude:
My TD2 has developed newton's rings....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] nim.dude:
my TD2 has developed newtons rings....and the htc care tells me its water inside and screen needs to be replaced !!

can it be possible ? :confused:

i have to get a new screen anyways....can i make that for free dis time ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Drag-On:
HTC UK replaces screens affected by Newton Rings, whereas HTC Germany does not. I live in Germany but bought my phone in the UK. the day i got the newton rings, i called the HTC Germany support line (coz i live here) and the (very tech savvy) German on the help desk told me the following:

-certain countries cover Newton Ring damage IF the phone shows no major signes of misuse (ie. dropped, internal components cracked, etc)

-certain countries do NOT.

i asked why. He said that it's a politics thing and I should just be lucky that my phone wasn't bought in germany and that i have to send it to the UK. once i did, 5 working days (from Germany to UK and back!) and i had a new phone. they even threw in a stylus and a new cover foil, as well as a spare USB cable! lol.

i have so far only good things to report about HTC customer service myself...ever since my mTeOR! ...guess i've been lucky!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dfxda:
Thank you so much for the responce,

I have tryed the divx player before, it worked horribly, most time video was choppy, and sound never worked. has anyone been able to get coreplayer to work, or is their another player?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jed Dignazio:
I use Coreplayer 1.3.6 and works great for everything. What problem are you having with Coreplayer??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dfxda:

Is their any way to fix this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kerrins:
Divx

I tried Divx too and it had a font size of 1-2. Even when I guessed the right button to play something it would only play on a 1 inch square screen. It was like everything was miniaturized. I had to uninstall.

2. Failure story, success finally

I got the Htc Magic mobile about a week ago from a shop gray market in China. This product is still not public here. It has a Sense UI (like the one in Htc Hero). It makes phone call, SMS, WiFi & GRPS. The browser works.

But Google map, Gmail, Google Sync don't work. My mobile has a data plan (GPRS worked). I tried clean Google APP data but the problem is still. I read some posts saying factory reset (is it hard reset?) may work in this situation. I did factory reset when the phone is on inside Setting/Security/..factory reset..erase.. .

Now my phone doesn't work. It displays a screen of `vodafone' in red background, a screen of `Htc magic', a screen of green Android robot and one more screen of `HTC', it also plays the music. After than there is no more, but the screen is lighting for the phone is power on.

The combination keys HOME + POWER, and BACK + POWER work on my phone. So it's not bricked with luck :-)

3. My failure try

3.1

I download hofoion108.zip[1] and rename to update.zip.

[1] http://seethisnowreadthis.com/2009/07/15/the-rogers-htc-magic-ion-hofo-community-rom/#more-233

3.2

I got error message in the first try to apply it

..

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 ..

..

E:Can't mount SDCARD:download/update.hiapk ..

..

3.3

Somehow I tried apply again. There is no errors this time. And my phone can start with this rom. But the UI is not good; The keyboard is ugly:) and small, and has no under_line key; The browser title bar is always there, even the phone's been put horizontally; The system bar with signal and battery is always there; ...

4. I want

* can I drop the screen of `vodafone' in red background, and a screens of `Htc magic', and `HTC', just keep the green android screen during start up?

* After entering HOME+POWER, the backgroup shows images with HiAPK.com, can I remove or replace this image or clean the background?

* Do I need to do SPL flash to achieve the above things. Is is safe for my phone to do so? (SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H, HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000) )
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] glazeus:
Hello!

You haven't right for flashing.

First of all you must update your SPL

1. Download View attachment 265240

2. Rename file to update.zip

3. Copy to SDcard

4. Use combination keys HOME + POWER

I work in area of bad reception and my phone often switches to roaming and connects to the T-Mobile network. A friend of mine has a BlackBerry and with it they can switch to a "manual" mode whereby they chose which provider they connect to.

Can this be done on Windows Mobile?

But with the same sim error:confused:

Any software or hardware solution? Please help.....
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
Have you tried another SIM in your phone?
[HTC Excalibur] jgrv:
I have the same problem.. and in my case it's definitely a battery problem that causes the sim error.. try it with another battery.

UPDATE: so after thinking that my sim card was a little bit loose I forced it to fit tight into the slot with the help of a tiny piece of paper.. now it has signal again. You should try this. Still sometimes I think my battery has something to with it.

Hi people,

I bring my rebuild of an original ROM from my Niki100, in Brazilian Portuguese, with WM6 Pro OS 5.2.1622build18128.0.4.4. The device came from TIM Brazil with ROM version 1.35.527.13.

I used the instructions described on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=334680 to dump the rom from device.

After, I used a niki kitchen available in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=361274 to rebuild the OS ROM.

So here is the download:

WM6_RUU_Nike_TIM_Brazil_PTB_1.35.527.13(No_Radio).zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?xyzqynnctzi

Just extract files, run ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow the instructions on screen.

Please could some of you do tests in your own devices and post the results here?

Thanks!!!

Coming Soon:

Much better Boot Screen, Just threw in an old one I made.

Clean up Power widget :)

Here's the Link:

http://www.4shared.com/file/200137467/240f83a3/Ivory-V2.html

Oh, by the way! I never knew this, but the soft keyboard closes when you swipe down on it! I felt pretty dumb after I figured that out...:D

Change Log :)

CHANGE LOG

Ivory-V1

-better boot screen, but still not perfect

-changed launcher green to match

-ported to cm 4.2.13

Ivory-V2

-Themed keyboard, I love it.

-White power widget, its getting there!

-New icons, looks nicer to me

Coming next-

BETTER white power widget :)

Custom notification icons

Fix a few rebel app icons!
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Looking good. I think you should invert the black to white on the pop ups.It would really help the overall ivory look
[Android Themes] MicroMina:
This looks great man...

Thank you for your work... Will flash when you add the white power widget
[Android Themes] sassyness77:
Getting Better...

Well, themed keyboard is done, I went with a slick black and green and fell in love with it! New icons and a white power widget too.

So I really would appreciate any feedback on this guys! Need to know if I'm going in the right direction.

Still just have to clean up that power widget! never looks perfect...

Good Work!

So far so good! I like the colors. So the Boot Screen was a little weird. I like how the white Android flashes across the screen, but the stacked green guys don't look so smooth. I can't wait until you start adding in more features! Keep up the great work!

I can only recommend white pop-ups that match the notification bar instead of the black. Also it wouldn't hurt much if you added in some more icons! Thank you!

This might be a stupid question to ask from a this type of community but the Chinese knock-offs or the endgadget term 'KIRF' phones

The sciphone N19

The sciphone N21

Aphone A6

Are these really android?

and if so arnt they upgradable to, for instance Android 2.0

and cant they be flashed with roms from other devices? (I'm kind of new to this and I dont really know what a 'rom' is, yet!)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrandroid:
Their only imitations. Which means the hardware inside is different. So you won't be able to flash a ROM designed for a G1 for example since the imitation and the G1 have different hardware (drivers)....

You might be able to install an updated android system assuming it's not a lookalike system, for example a regular Nokia OS with it's "Face Painted" to look like android lol. Also remember, the hardware inside it probably bare minimum to just run what it came with....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt.hewett:
the video

but this looks pretty convincing that its android, isn't it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrandroid:
It might actually be android. You probably won't be able to use the custom roms you find here because of hardware differences but it looks like it's running an actual android system. Remember android is Open Source so it's even easier/cheaper for the Chinese to do this, lol...

i wouldnt buy any of these phones...not even for 50€
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miamicanes:
> i wouldnt buy any of these phones...not even for 50€

From what I've seen, an Android phone intended for the Chinese domestic market...

* Would be "rooted out of the box". They wouldn't even bother to try protecting it.

* Would be electronically compatible with two dozen other Chinese domestic Android phones. They might have different button layouts, screen sizes, batteries, and build quality, but the biggest single thing driving their firmware would be the manufacturer's ability to slap one of Google's reference builds into it more or less verbatim.

* Would put most American and European phones to shame insofar as aesthetics go. Cheap Chinese stuff might have nonexistent build quality, but even the lowest-quality crap to come out of an anonymous factory somewhere in Harbin or Chonggqing is going to look attractive, if not downright cool.

* Almost without a doubt, would be the most feature-packed ghetto-fabulous phone you could pull out of your pocket anywhere in America. Nothing on the phone might work reliably (or for more than 3 months before breaking), but if there's a feature you can pack into a phone... it'll be there.

* If you were fluent in Mandarin or Cantonese, and stumbled across one in China, it would probably be so cheap, you could buy two spares for less than it would cost to insure a PDA phone for a year and pay one replacement deductible for any carrier in the US.

Speaking of which... check out dealextreme.com if you want to see some crazy stuff you can buy directly from China. I've bought about a hundred bucks worth of stuff from them over the past year, and I've grown to be rather fond of them. They have a ton of phones I've never really looked at too closely since none of the phones they sell will ever work on Sprint, but they might have something Android-ready if you're in Europe or can live with EDGE-only in the US (I seriously doubt any phone sold in China today can do 1700/2200 or 850/850 UMTS). I'm still laughing about their "iFhone" models, or the phone running some unknown OS (probably some flavor of LiMo) that looks like A brown European Hero... or the "NOKLA N95" :D

They are real Android, period. We can make any kind of WM/Android GSM mobiles under USD$100! Just figure out how much HTC gain on you guys!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hakkinen60:
Don't be stupid! I am currently providing one of your "so -call" Cheap craps Android to a French operator! 15k each month. Let me tell u one thing, there is something called CE standard, or FCC in the US; ROSH.....etc. As long as our product passes those test in the lab, we have international standard certificates. I can also answer your doubts on the UTMS question. There is something called electronic IC chipset which send/recieve UTMS signals; furthermore, we do not have to invent it as Americans/Europeans gave it to us because they beg for our RMB. I think Huawei is at least 5 time the size of HTC, right? Moreover, most of the current WCDMA/HSDPA/HSUPA base station equiptment is provied by Huawei worldwide! Android, which google gave Huawei for FREE because google wished Huawei to modify their Hisilicon smartphone(hardware) platform to use it instead of Windows Mobile; and the Hisilicon platform supports both OS on the same PCBA. We are a small firm, and we are current selling more than 250k smartphones per year, let alone those mega size manufactures!

As long as someone has money, products/technology would look for them to buy or invest. Americans, just keep your tunnel vision; that answers why our country is more and more wealthly and yours could only loan to pay-up depts. I am waiting for your bankruptcy!

P.S. I have never done a deal to sell to the U.S. not due to our own quality, just because Americans have no money but big-mouths!

P.S. Your unknown OS is called MTK platform(Mediatek), which partly owned by Foxconn; captures more than 65% of world wide GSM market in 2009! Samsung and LG are both their customers on the dual sim models! MTK will launch their smartphone platform on Android/WM this quarter!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gatecrasher R/T:
So if China is so wonderful, when are you guys going to invent something original instead of just using your near-slave labor to put out cheap copies of American and European inventions? Something new and original that doesn't "borrow", abuse, or our right steal the intellectual property of the West?

Just curious.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabsn:
calm down guys. seriously. this isn't the right place for any kind of political debate.

Talking about phones... there are a couple of reasons why chinese phones are cheaper. one of the main reasons: the development costs are much lower. most chinese phones are knock-offs, they don't have to pay any fancy designer ;) and reverse engeneering requires less ressources than actual inventing and developing. in addition to that work simply is much cheaper in china as you probably know.

c'mon. passing the CE tests is nothing to be proud of. 79cent plastic toys have CE-logos.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hakkinen60:
CE standards required diffenent tests on each cataglory; u cannont compare toys with mobile. It tests radio performance, like GSM, WIFI, bluetooth; how many working hours can the components last, or testing material whether they are harmful to human body.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hakkinen60:
1 mobile with dual SIM stand-by was invented by Chinese; It captures more than 40% of the current GSM market. Once again, our so-called cheap phones captures more than 65% of the market in 2009! Way more than the combine figures of Nokia, Samsung, SE, LG and Moto. Oh, I forgot.....Moto asked Foxconn and TCL to O.D.M mobile products for them. Is this one kind of the West's own invention?? Invention needs MONEY, that's why the West beg for our RMB and pass the technology to us.

We are now developing dual SIMs Windows Mobile, probably be launched late 2nd Quarter! Did u play with any of these before? Give a try then!
