Hello all,
I'm looking to bay a HTC TYTN II here in Switzerland. I would know if there is possible to use the HTC TYTN II with the TouchFLO Technology....
If yes, what i must do, to have this part installed on the HTC TYTN II ......?
Kind regard
ZHCIP from Switzerland
TouchFLO technology is already present by default in the HTC TyTN II when you buy one. So you don't have to do anything special.
Thanks for the answer.......
I'm was not shure if the TouchFLO was inside...
TouchFLO is present.....but the very basic one in which u can use some functions with ur finger.....wut ur probably lookin for is the 3D Cube which is not on the TYTN II by default....look up the forums for installing the 3D Cube...

touchFLO is software, so yes it is in the software.
If the Diamond has a slideout keyboard like the 6800/Titan and a 3.5mm audio jack, it would DEFINITELY be an iPhone killer...too bad though.
I saw a video demo of a guy using the on-screen keyboard of the Diamond and he was typing like one letter a second, lol...so slow! And you hear him say "it's not bad, i like this"...guess he never used a 6800 keyboard. I can type an entire paragraph in 10 seconds, correctly punctuated, lol.
Darn...the diamond really had potential, then I found out no keyboard, no real audio jack. If the 6800 had an audio jack, I would never upgrade. I mean 8gb cards are now, like what...$20? lol. So the 4gb internal storage of the Diamond isnt that impressive

You are in luck!
Check out Raphael and Vario, the big brothers of Diamond.
Raphael answers your prayers and the Vario goes two steps higher!

isnt the vario 3 the raphael, aka touch diamond pro?
that pdadb picture for the raphael is so old its unbelievable... the specs for the diamond are different from when it had a pic just like that.

I agree that the lack of an audio jack is very annoying, but HTC don't seem to like it. However, I don't think a keyboard would make the Touch Diamond compete better with the iPhone, because the whole point of the iPhone is a lack of keyboard. That's why the iPhone, and the Touch, are more popular than similar devices with keyboards...
The Raphael has same specs as Diamond, but it has a sliding keyboard, a bigger battery and a SD slot (no internal 4GB).
The Vario adds to this:
Double the ROM from 256mb to 512mb
and RAM from 196mb to 256mb
KOR!
And they're bigger. One of the main points of the Touch Diamond is its (lack of) size.
Good and bad news about this. The radio works, with headphones that have an FM antenna! Yay!
But
The reception is bad...
and I mean, BAD. Cuts in and out of local stations that I always get 100% signal from a car or any other radio.
Mine works great and I'm 50 miles north of Atlanta.

You also don't have an AT&T Touch Pro...
Hmmm, the phone obviously recognises the headset is plugged in, but do you defiinitely have the right one?
Mine only works properly with the HTC S300 headset (Diamond and Raphael standard ones). When I tried it with my old Kaiser/Hermes headset, I only got faint radio, and a lot of static...

Not sure if it's the identical set that came in the box, but I bought it from expansys and it's specifically noted to be for the HTC Touch Pro and include an FM radio antenna... I don't know beyond that.

No but I do have an HTC Touch Pro and I would think the FM radio would be the same as yours.

Unfortunately, Black's AT&T Touch Pro didn't come with any radio software installed, or a headset, so he's starting from scratch...
I don't think anyone is selling the official Diamond/Pro headset yet, but I would assume that any HTC headset with an antenna should work, so I'm at a bit of a loss, as the software seems to be working and picking up some sort of signal.
Perhaps there actually is an antenna connection between the receiver and the headset that is inside the HTC Touch Pro, but was left out of the AT&T version?
This is likely wishful thinking, but I am thinking that the fact that the AT&T hardware contains the FM receiver is further evidence that the hardware is identical to the HTC standard issue units and, inferentially, that the Touch Pro's 3G radio will be identical as well.

Haha, identical?
1) Different model names
2) No front camera
3) Different keyboard
4) Push to talk button
It's just wishful thinking. We're all assuming/hoping the UMTS radios will all be there, but don't say the radio working is any hint of that. ;-)

Even if the hardware is identical and he is using the Radio software designed for Europe/Asia, then the software might be designed to pick up the even numbered bands (102.2, 99.8 etc). The radio stations in North America use odd numbered frequencies (102.1, 99.1 etc). Hence the terrible quality. Just a possibility.

Well, the other guy here (ATL area or wherever) said he gets fine reception, and that's with a european touch pro... So I don't know why it would be different for mine.
Might be because it's a different headset, who knows. Maybe someday I'll throw another $30 towards the ones that came with the phone.

All of these are peripherals. Sorry if I was not precise enough in my post, but there has been much speculation on the boards by a lot of very credible folks that the internal radios and chipsets on these units are identical.
I was going to say something smart about your attitude but I won't.

Well I appreciate you not saying anything smart, that'd be a tragedy. As for the speculation of hardware, I'm fully aware of what's been questioned. All I'm saying is that the FM radio has as much to do with the UMTS radios as the PTT button and the keyboard, we're pretty sure the UMTS radios are the same but I don't think this should help that argument.

Hmmm, fm radio -- internal component, keyboard and PTT buttons -- peripheral and external. I am guessing logic is not your strong suit? Sorry for the tragedy.
By the way, if "we're pretty sure the UMTS radios are the same" (and who is "we"?) then why the smart-alek comment in the first place? Never mind; don't answer that. I think from the other threads on the forum it is pretty clear why.

Sorry, by "we" I was referring to everyone I've spoken with from the forum who's done research regarding the subject. I spoke with one person who told me he saw a Q&A session with HTC's CEO regarding the Diamond, and something was said to the effect of "the US radio and MicroSD slot had to be removed to make it as small as it is..."
That would be pretty valid information towards saying the US radio should be present in the European Touch Pro.... The fact that I can listen to music on it, to me, isn't. But honestly I don't want to start anything, I'm on thin ice with the mods now as it is. I apologize for any rash comments and let's just be friends.

Last time i checked the hardware for FM radio, and for cellular signal were not the same. If it were then why would you need the headphones in order to receive a signal, think about it. I do think it's far more likely that they cripple the abilities through software than by stripping out the hardware functions. If the test unit that Black has is able to start working with a simple cab addition then it is likely that scenario will continue with the official models.
I also will say that there is no need for the snarky attitude so many users seem to have here. It is not necessary to mock someone simply because they disagree with you. No matter how many time it gets said it seems that nobody listens...but here goes again "treat other members with respect" always!

Good cause then we'd have to find someone else with an AT&T touch pro to pester with questions.
"If it were then why would you need the headphones in order to receive a signal"
Just for information - On all phones that have a radio, the wired headphones are always needed for the aerial. This is becuase the antenna in the device is not capable of receiving FM transmissions due to the wavelength of the signal. FM at approx 100MHz has a much larger wavelength thant the GSM signal (900 - 2100Mhz) and hence requires the larger aerial.

Have you tried to tune into different stations? When you do scan for stations, does it let you scan the odd numbered ones? Can you manually enter the frequency for a specific radio station? Sorry, I dont have a Touch Pro or a Diamond myself so I cant do these tests.
This is probably a stupid question, but if the wired headphones are used as the antenna, does that mean that Bluetooth headphones can't be used to listen to the radio? There was a review on pocketnow that suggested that wireless headphones could be used (though I wonder if there's some specific HTC set they're referring to). I'm just curious.

That was my point actually, because the person i was replying to was insistent that the cell radio had something to do with the FM Radio, which they really don't. sorry if that was unclear.
I've read on several places that HTC Touch Viva do have a gps. The official page of HTC doesn't mention that (I wrote them an email asking, will see if they reply;-)
Could that be one of those situations like S730 with GPS chip but no antenna or something?
btw does anyone has one already? I was hesitation between the old touch and viva but I think I will get viva, it's about 250 euros in my country
Hi,
HTC Viva has not a GPS, but the brother Touch 3G (Jade) has one.
for our bad luck no gps in viva lol ....
My dad have Touch HD.
I play to buy a mobile phone too, and i don't know which one to choose. what do you say?
NOKIA 5800 - symbian
Htc diamond - WM
Samsung I900 omnia - WM
IPHONE 3G
Thanks
symbian os is crap i wouldnt waste my time with it
the omnia is a big brick and still manages to have a lower screen resolution than the diamond and the iphone is gr8 if ur under 18 and all u wanna do is listen to music n play games anything else and ur screwed :lol so id suggest the diamond or if you have a bit more money to spend try the xperia

Hey, why symbian is a crap?
I had p900 sony ericsson before a long time
Why the omnia is a big trick?
About the iphone, i will have 18 in like 20 days lol.
I will mostly use the cellular i will buy as a regular phone, wifi for skype calls (via fring), and gps (IGO).
I can get second hand diamond for 300$
If i had alot of money i would buy the HD; from what i know he's the best, more then the new Omnia hd of samsung, and more then diamond 2
Bump!
mancsoulja ?
Seriously I have owned and used both Symbian and WinMo in the last 6 months. Lets just say Im never going back to symbian.
And get the HTC diamond.
Better screen
GREAT XDA support!
TouchFLO which is amazing.
Yeah, i think to go diamond because of few things:
Better pixels resoulation from what iv'e heared
Stylus
TouchFLO (my dad got HD)
Omnia over diamond: alot of memory vs 4GB.
More here
Iv'e saw right now a video in youtube that say diamond have not regular miniusb, a miniusb of HTC.
Why does i care? because i want to connect a convertor of 3.5mm jack headphone so i will be able to connect my regular earphones.
*I want to know how much time i will be able to make a skype call (fring-wifi) on the diamond.
*As for playing music, diamond cant replace the COWON D2 i plan to buy.
The diamond isnt the greatest at media. But then the 5800 doesnt have dedicated media keys either (as I am aware).
But seriously you wont regret getting the diamond at all. You can get a 3.5mm jack you just have to get the right one. It should even set you back £5/6.

Where can i find it for 5/6 with shipping to Israel?
The miniusb isn't normal miniusb? is it miniusb of htc?
If no, i guess i can buy any convertor from miniusb to 3.5mm
I don't like the omnia so i'm not gonna buy it.
It's or that im i will go the diamond, or that i will save some money and buy diamond2/HD (also hard decision)
Anyone can answer the question on the convertor?
If it's not normal miniusb, i can't buy any miniusb convertor to 3.5mm
If it's normal, i will have 2 options:
1. Buy the htc diamond + COWON D2.
2. Buy the HD/DIAMOND2 and use their music player.

The Diamond has a special mini-usb port. It can be used as a normal mini-usb port with a normal usb cable. But it can be used also with a special mini-usb to 3.5mm audio port.
Is it allowed to post a link to a shop that ships to Israel?
Hey.
So why they write it's miniusb? its special miniusb.
"It can be used as a normal mini-usb port with a normal usb cable" - so what's the special connection here?
According to you, i must get a special mini-usb to 3.5mm audio port?
I would be glad to get a link to a cheap converter...
If i add more 250$ i can get the HD. I don't know if to buy the diamond. the HD, or the diamond2.

Sorry for the late reaction.
This cable you need. It's a mini-usb to 3.5mm headphones jack. With this cable you can use you're own headphones with all HTC devices.
