Just seen this website that has a really cool app for the iPhone
http://dynolicious.com/index.html
It's basically an Acceleration Tracking device using the accelerometer in iPhone. Would this sort of software be possible on the Diamond?
Thats looks good, however im not sure how accurate it would be, as its probably using the GPS to measure speeds which only update once a second.
On the iPhone it uses the accelerometer, not the GPS.
However the Diamond doesn't have an accelerometer, only a gravity sensor so I don't think it could be possible.

Actually - I think that you'll find that the Diamond does have an accelerometer?

A gravity sensor is an accelerometer but an accelerometer is not a gravity sensor..
The Lightsaber app clearly demonstrates that the Diamond has an accelerometer. The only thing an accelerometer does is measure G-forces, so if you hold it still, it will measure only one: gravity. That's probably why you're confused.
So you think that the G-Sensor inside the Diamond can be as accurate as a real accelerometer ?
Shaking Head...... Sigh......!

If want something like this... using the GPS in the Diamond use : GPS Performance ... works very well... Tested by me
Ha Ha Ha. You beat me to the thread. I was thinking of posting a thread about this. It looks like a very cool program to have.
Hello,
I have a question. I read that in the diamond and the touch pro htc doesnt use the sirfstar 3 anymore but the qualcomm gps receiver.
The sirf 3 is a very good receiver but i dont have any experince with qualcomm. I read a review on the internet that qualcomm's performance is less effective than the sirf 3.

Does anyone have any experience with the new qualcomm in htc's diamond or touch pro?

just make a search. an easy one. there are tens of posts about gps, gps lagging, gps not working or being exceptionaly precise with a certain ROM\radio. at this moment there are 3 more GPS related threads on this page.
search, please..it easy and it doesn't hurt.
and to prove you i am not bad, here you have the most comprehensive one:

thank you for keeping this forum clean and spam\useless\redundant posts free!
Since the diamond and Xperia X1 share the same Qualcomm platform and both have probably the same 3.2 AF camera module, can somebody manage how to make diamond record VGA (640*480 30 FPS) video, which Xperia can?
There's a firmware for X1 in X1 subforum, maybe somebody can use it's camera driver or whatever it is in Diamond firmware?
I think we pay a cheaper price for the diamond and as a result we obtain at the end a cheaper product.....the same happens with the Opera version without Flash Lite 3 support and many other things discussed on this forum.
But in some way will be nice to have the possibility to record videos with a bigger resolution.
No, this can not be just about marketing. There must be some HW reason. HTC doesent have reason to make better phone for Sony Ericsson than their best phone aka Touch Pro. Even if is true what you say about Diamond, Touch Pro would have VGA @ 30 FPS record capability, if this is just software thing. Why would HTC do something like this? Just realize, how many even more powerfull phones than Diamond have only QVGA record option. Dell Axim x50v, Asus P535, Even Omnia with brand new Monahan 624 MHz CPU can just [email protected] FPS. Dont tell me that HTC didnt include this option to Diamond and Raphael just becouse of marketing.

Hi pokevitek, HTC does not manufacture devices for SONY, they produce their products using a very strange marketing strategy, just look into the past, troubles with devices like Kaiser and Cruise, which where using the same HW but getting different HTC SW versions , e.g. the camera SW.
HTC made the Xpreia x1 so it has been rumored. designed by sony made by HTC????

HTC is the manufacturer for the Xperia X1. It's just rebranded by Sony Ericsson.

Ok, if so, i'll never understand the kind of marketing strategy HTC is using for.....!!! but the crazy thing is, they have a big success as Smartphone and Pcket PC manufacturer...!!!
htc used to only make devices for other companys
think it's rare now though
I understand licensing the codec to do VGA 30fps recording cost more money, hence HTC never did it.
I think porting the driver is a good strategy that should be pursued
Surur
I think we should port as much as possible from the x1.
Just because we can
Just downloaded the rom...

Having a really tough time deciding which to buy...
The TP2 does look very compelling in this video...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kz4TKMypIg4&feature=channel_page
Well... The Diamond 2 has a better camera...
It might be a little smaller... and cheaper
The TP2 has a keyboard, And it has some interesting features for business men
In my country I'd pay 150€ extra for it... Which I wouldn't do.
If you need it for business, Take the TP2, If you just want an excellent phone... Go with the Diamond 2

Agreed. Main factor for me was the size: TD2 is perfect in that respect for my kind of use, and I do not miss keyboard (if I have large amount of text to type, I have a laptop or a workstation anyway). Keyboards had much too much bulk for the advantage they offer imho...
Design-wise, the only think I would change on the TD2 would be a slightly larger screen, if that is possible keeping the overall size exactly the same, and more physical controls (side wheel for scrolling, more remappable buttons). At a led flash, mainly for having flashlight always handy ;-)
IMO People should not be having trouble with this decision.
You either want a phone with a physical keypad and don't mind it being slightly larger OR you would rather have a smaller phone instead of a physical keypad.
There are other differences but they are small.
One thing though .... the TF3D interface is obsessed with scrolling. On the T2 this can be like having to win a game of Teeter to be allowed to call someone or select an application. The physical keypad on the P2 has direction keys. Maybe someone can comment on where (what parts of TF3D) these can be used in.
If you turned off TF3D (escape from Teeter) then this won't be an issue.

I agree... not sure why people really have difficulty here....
Absolutely. Turning off TF3D is the best thing I ever did on my TD2. My word does it fly now! And no more stoopid scrolling through enormous lists!

Hi Jim,
I'm also pretty annoyed by the endless scrolling of TF3D and thinking of replacing it. With which "Home-Plugin" did you replace TF3D?
Is there a way to start the HTC Music player without TF3D?
Thanks and regards,
JTGBDR

I use all the standard plugins plus WMP Status 1.0, TodayAgenda and Cash Organizer 2008.
I don't use any "Today replacement" plugins because I actually use the standard Today screen and think it's the best way of getting all the info I want on one screen.
The TF3D music player needs to have TF3D enabled. I use WMP, hence the WMP Status Today plugin.
TodayAgenda is the best thing since the news of Jacqui Smith's sacking.

i couldn't decide wether to wait a month for the TP2 or go buy the TD2, congratulation you just convinced me to wait
Hi to all cookers here you have done a wonderfull job so far. What i was wondering is it possible i saw it gsmarena site that the new htc hero is much like iphone the photos or galery and the internet browser are made multitouch. Is it possible somehow to get the drivers of the screen from hero and to make the hd as well multitouch like hero. I know that it is a very hard work and i know how the multitouch works i mean i understand very good i just am not that good a programer to make it my self. But since hd and the hero are alike in almost everything hardware wise i was just wondering if it possible. I know that hero useses android linux and the broweser should be chromo and suports multitouch maybe some programer can make it work in wm as well.
Thanks hope someone does it and make us all very happy
i believe that current resistive screens (like the Touch HD) are not capable of multi-touch at all.
the Hero i think has a capacitive screen (like the G1/Iphone/Magic) and does support multitouch.
i have read that next gen resistive screens will support multitouch but i think its more about the hardware than just the drivers....

I was always thinking that, its a screem thing rather than software. Winmo should be multi touch by the time of wm 7 i hope.
Resistive Screen to now couldn't be multitouch: it's HW problem.
Maybe you could emulate multitouch but it's hard to do
D'rath
Let me clear one important issue: resistive touchscreen does not exclude multitouch. Resistive screen technically can multitouch and can be much better in terms of sesitivity than iPhone. Technology is out there for a while but sadly for end-users it is not used (and manufacturers have many rea$ons to keep it that way). Current blackstone hardware is limited and cannot provide multitouch.
Hero screen TFT capacitive touchscreen, 65K colors
Size 320 x 480 pixels, 3.2 inches
HD screen TFT resistive touchscreen, 65K colors
Size 480 x 800 pixels, 3.8 inches
It is the same just the drivers are missing from the HD drivers needet for the screen to know when u touch in to plasec at once to calculate not only one touch at the time
Eugh...
Resistive and capacitive are just different technologies for achieving what we know as touch screens. "Multi touch" is purely software. Capacitive is better built and more rugged whereas resistive is cheaper but more precise.
Hi all,
Take a look at this:
http://www.umpcportal.com/2009/02/multi-touch-comes-to-resistive-touchscreens
If I have understood correctly, it could be possible to implement this feacture in a standard resistive touch screen. Perhaps our HD screen supports this feature.
Hope this helps!

it is nothing to do with WM OS is all about hardware
WM is much much advance OS compare to iPhone or G1
I just wonder if WM6.5 can be developed similar to Nokia N97 to have few widgets on main screen and information can be updated automatically.

yes yes bro i am not that good a programer to make it my self that is why i asked if anyone can do it maybe if I was able to find drivers of hero and work some magic in IDE it is all in assembler maybe i can do it the screen just need to calculate the touch right now it wont register 2 touch try to push it in to saperate places in any app that can draw and u will see that the drawing will be in the middle cuz the drivers dont understand what happend they will calculate it in the middle but if we change the drivers make them understand that we are touching to different places to sets of different calculations then it will work
