Backpacking with the HTC Touch Diamond

Hey all.
When I go backpacking, I will be taking my HTC Touch Diamond with me. I will primarily use this for playing mp3s, and running the odd movie when i am bored.
Any ideas of a good application that will effectively use the GPS? it would be handy to be able to pick out my co-ordinates, as this will keep my mum happy when she wants to know where I am! Also, it could come in handy for finding places that I want to get to (i got lost plenty of times last time!).
Also, what sort of battery would you recommend me getting, I do not want the touch diamond to be any bigger (or much) or much heavier, if possible.
Also, do you have any suggestion of apps or uses for the diamond that will be helpful on my journey?
Also how long do you think playing mp3s will last on the diamond, or should i be looking at a real mp3 player? I will mostly be using this phone in aeroplane mode.
Cheers

one of the best programs i can recommend you is the OS map viewer. Downloadhere. This is the PC application, which has a option in it to install to a Pocket PC device (Diamond).
UK note: This version is NOT compatible with GB Ordnance Survey maps. To get the correct OS edition, please use the Web / Check for Updates command in Memory-Map Navigator
You need to buy or search google for the maps to go with it.

Batts are gonna be your #1 problem.
I suggest you focus on any kind of battery extension.
Maybe a stroll down the Diamond accessory section will shed some light.

+1 and lots more to that!
i like the look of these.

I recommend you setup TrackMe, so your mom can take a look on a website where you currently are.
it's on xda-devs and free, works really great
For the power you need, you could take this in your backpack:

It's in Dutch, but you get an idea, it carries 8000mAh so you could get a few days of GPS-sing without a powersupply

LOL, too funny Davey. I'm a Diamond owner too and you hit it pretty close to the mark. I personally wouldn't trust my Diamond out backpacking unless I had an alternative method to charge it every few hours. Even on custom roms and all that i get terrible battery life whenever I decide to use the thing.
I would suggest some type of charger to bring with you like a solar panel or something.

GPS and wifi can be damn useful when backpacking.
you now have a place to store pics, you can check your mail with wifi instead of visiting an internet cafe everyday, and with gps you can find your way in a new city. so just make sure you have all the maps on your diamond
Where are you going?
when backpacking i met a few guys who had backpacks with solar panels in them for ipods and phones.
i searched for those and its not cheap but very useful.
here's the one i saw http://www.voltaicsystems.com/

Not seen those before, nice. They're not cheap are they?
Or you could go with a big sticker saying 'mug me'.
I would go with the official extended battery plus at least 3 spares. The only problem is how to keep them cool, Li-ion batteries will permanently degrade when stored, fully charged, in hot conditions.

I bought a backpack last year with a solar panel in, if you go that route make sure you get one with a proper lithium battery pack, the one i had 4 cheap AA rechargable batteries and whatever you charge using them doesn't last very long, the lithium battery ones are a lot better, my orbit phone charge lasts around 50% less when recharging from AA's via the solar panel

i use findme along with the findme facebook app works just fine

Hey there.
Yeah its going to be really good, I have set up Skype on it as well, although it does lag quiet a bit sometimes unfortunately. I will be going to Malaysia > Cambodia > Laos > Thailand > Myanmar > Indonesia
I am interested in downloading (paying if i have to) maps onto my phone, so if ever needed, i can see where i am. If you can help me source software for this i could be grateful!
As for GPS tracking, I need something ideally that will work well while abroad. By this I mean that I can not afford large data bills (priced at £7 per megabyte while roaming!). I was perhaps looking for something where i could press a button, it would get a fix on the satalite, and send my co-ordinates either via email or sms, most likely sms as i get 10 free a day while abroad. It does not need to be real time tracking, just once a day position update. This will be a massive bonus, as my mum will relax abit more knowing exactly where i am in the world, instead of a vague answer.
As for batteries, I think i dont want to take too much stuff of value, and obviously where i am going its going to be very humid, so i cant have loads of charged batteries. Perhaps I will opt for a usb solar charger, or equivelent.
Many thanks for your help
Gary.

How do I fit a new mini-usb port?

Hi - I seem to have knackered my mini-usb port a bit (probably by accidentally sticking my stylus in it).
I can get a replacement one on eBay, but it doesn't come with any instructions. Does anyone know where I could find instructions to fit it? Or is it something that would need a soldering iron (which I don't have) or something too tricky for a clumsy oaf like me?
Thanks
Dan

I'm pretty sure you're stuck with the soldering problem. Hopefully I'm wrong, I have a friend that needs to replace his.

I could, but there's no visible difference. My suspicion is that it just a little bit looser than it should be.

Oh no! I'm not getting into that, but so far it's looking like it'll cost £50 to get it fixed if I send it off to somewhere. At that price I'd prefer to live with a bit of a dodgy connection...

Thankfully you can use bluetooth for most everything.

And a battery charging cradle if reqd

As well as an el-cheapo cradle with battery recharge bay IF the battery no longer recharges in the phone. If dancj was not proficient at soldering, he could get that part done by someone who is but given the 'clumsy oaf' statement perhaps it's best for any work on the phone to be done professionally. Bluetooth dongles are cheap if the PC usually sync'd with doesn't natively have bluetooth but it'd be worth dancj having a good read of the manual to determine how to set up the connection first if this is new ground - this particular clumsy oaf found it quite tricky figuring out which side the connection is initially configured and initiated from until reading the manual

Check out a cradle with battery bay

As mentioned in my post above, a cradle with battery charging bay gets around that. They're very cheap too (Here are the details of what I have). If you add to that a Bluetooth dongle for about £15, you're still well on the right side of the £50 repair cost.

Sorry - I misunderstood.
I have a kind of workaround at the moment which is one of these 3 way adaptors.
The plug for this one is a bit different and grips the bit inside the USB socket and still gives a good connection. I could keep that in the car and then have one of those cradles at home and at work...

I've got something that looks like that as well. I guess if its plug connects well with your phone, there's no reason why you couldn't use it for mains charging as well, although I don't know if I'd trust a slightly damaged USB port to not deteriorate. Irrespective of what happens with the port, that cradle and spare battery could still be utilised.

Yes sir,

i don't know if this is what Flying Kiwi is talking about, but you can also have one spare battery and a battery charger, and whenever one of the two batteries is depleted, replace it with the one that you charged with the battery charger, and so on. just keep that spare full one in your pocket.

Yeah that is an option. I really don't want to have to resort to physically changing my battery every day though.

Then you could get one of those big thick high capacity batteries with a matching 'swollen' battery cover and you'll only have to change it every second or third day. The downside is it doesn't look as good and it weighs more but it would still be cheaper than a £50 repair. Which is more important, saving a few quid or fixing it properly and having full functionality back?

If it comes down to that I think I'll swallow the £50 repair fee. At the moment I'm still torn between trying to get it repaired cheaper or living with a dodgy connection

My Kaiser/Tilt from ebay (Are all Kaisers like this?)

Alright here are some key things I need to fix on my "excellent condition" kaiser..........
I apologize in advance as I need to vent a bit But any help/advice would be much appreciated.
1. Battery life is pretty bad, lets say if I leave just the screen on, it drains about 1-5% per minute. Meaning I have to keep it plugged in whenever I am not using it. (I have SPB Shell which is supposed to drain batteries a bit more... Can't be this bad though...)
2. Camera does not function whatsoever, all I get is a neat black screen with a laggy camera interface for some reason. (Previous owner flashed to WM 6.1, possible cause?)
3. I think I've had about three successful calls in around 2 weeks of using the phone, every other call it appears I have answered it, but I hear nothing and neither does the other person. At this point I reboot and try to call the person back, so I only use the Kaiser for texting. (Also due to the flash perhaps?)
4. No idea how to work the GSP, so far it only works when I have a wifi connection with google maps (no data plan) and when it does it only give me a very rough general location, basically it shows me that I'm somewhere in my neighbourhood. Don't know if there is a standard program included (without monthly fees) or I have to find 3rd party software, or pay monthly fees for the one included which I'm not going to do.
Other problems....
5. The sliding hinge is very loose, the gap between the screen and keyboard when slid closed is at least 1mm wide normally.
6. The tilting has a hard time staying tilted, I always keep a finger behind the screen and the back of the keyboard.
7. Dpad & face buttons are loose and can slide around a bit.
8. The screen orientation gets confused fairly often and stays in landscape mode, requiring reset.
9. The AT&T animated bootup logo is <expletive>. I reset the Kaiser very often from crashes, dead calls, wrong orientation, broken camera, and dead batteries and the bootup animation very cleverly include sounds so everyone around can hear me reboot my piece of <expletive> 7 times a day even though I have it set to mute.
10. I am very disapointed how MS still has such a hard time making a proper os suitible for a mobile phone and just how little they have improved since my old WM2003se phone and Dell Axim, they clearly have the most experience yet they still cannot see how lame their OS really is compared to the... sigh... iphone, get your act together MS... Please? Keep your superior compatibility and excellent user created/custom community but please, please, ditch the lame archaic UI, its that easy. The real problem I have is that even all the fancy mods in the world cannot hide how ugly and user unfriendly this windows mobile OS is, heres hoping WM7....
11. And I thought my HTC Magician was a large phone..........

You Poor Guy
Wow that sucks for you, sounds like not only did the flashing of the rom was bad or a bad rom(unfinished), and like the phone has been taken apart and was not put together correctly. My tilt is great I got WM6.5 and the new SBP Shell 3.0, No problems here at all. You need most likely depending on your experience is to take it apart and tighten all screws make sure the camera is plugged in and sound like the dpad buttons might need some super glue to hold the frame (of the buttons) to the case.
Then just go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835
when your done go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378

Try a Hard Reset so you can start clean and go from there.
And remember

It sounds like the camera and call issue is caused by an incorrect ROM / raido match. Try flashing a new ROM and radio meant for eachother. For the loose parts, find a disassembly guide, A T5, T6, and 00 screwdriver and take the phone down so you can retighten the mechanism.

hmm thanks for all the help! looking at the rom/radio forum, how exactly do you decide which rom or radio to go with? seems like there are so many to choose from, I feel like such a noob even though I have flashed my ds and my old axim before i'm not entirely sure what these roms are, pre loaded/updated os's or something??
I agree though it looks like a bad rom/radio, Ill see what I can do about that and the loose parts...
Yeah this is the first time I got burnt with ebay, sucks cuz i had a few options but i went with the seller with the best communication as the others weren't replying, then i finally got a reply from a cheaper phone that seemed to be a much better choice hours later, after that i had a bad feeling and unfortunately it came true... oh well, this phone is a lot fatter and heavier than i hoped, i dunno i swore to get a smaller phone than my magician... meh either way i'll make do with what i have, sigh... thanks again.

Yea people who just do regular music listening a bit of browsing , calls dont need this as the stock battery easily gets throug the day , but may be of use for travellers and heavy gamers,,

Thanks for posting, I have similar on my GSIII LTE from day 1.
Very handy.
I hope it will be available in Europe for the GNII.

How do you get to the s-pen?

Click to expand...

A lot of these cases have an extra silo. But it would probably defeat the purpose of the sound and spen detection setting.

I think I'm going to have this phone for awhile so I can wait another couple of weeks for one that has the s-pen slot. I find myself using it at the most random of times.

Not only dose it seen to cover the S pen but also the back speaker.
I bought a second battery from Samsung website with the 50% off code someone posted here. I haven't needed it yet, but on the rear occasion I do it will be a simple solution. For now I just switch them out every few days.

All ,
yes its a bit annoying for removing the Spen but not very difficult for people who rarely use ( i use all the time though ) it covers up the space , however speaker is not compromisd as there is a opening for the speaker , but yes S pen is a bit annoying to remove as you will need to slide the fone out .. this s not a hard case so not a tough job to open the phone up from the case...

Might get one of these if they make a little higher quality product with little lower price. Hate the LED lights, on/off switch, no hole for stylus. Most of these need to be charged separately and are usually less than 1000mah.

yea the LEDs are bit too bright , but I found the battery pretty decent not excellent though they charged my phone fom 49% to 100 % in about 1 hour not sure if it can full 3000 MAH havent tested that , the stylus missing out is defnitely a disadvantage...

I was just about the post this, found it on ebay for 28. But no spen and yes the speaker which is covered up was the deal breaker for me. Guess I'll just wait for Samsung's wireless charging.

I have (well had, untill I dropped and shattered the screen) the T-Mobile version of the Note 2, and last week, was on holidays at Disney etc.. the day started at about 8 am, and then, I'd use it non stop, navigation, web browsing, phone calls... really put the phone to use and by the end of the day, still had citca 35% left - this is the first Android smartphone I've had where I'm comfortable with the battery life. the stock battery is more than man enuff for the phones features.

Anyone find a better charging case than this?

Battery Swelling Causing Screen to Bow Out

So the other day I noticed my screen was starting to get flush with the sides of my case. Upon closer inspection, I noticed my screen was starting to bow out!
Recently, I had been having some really strange battery life where the phone would die at around 50% or so, and when I would reboot the phone, it would read at about 5-10%. So I'm assuming the battery is defective, and it's beginning to expand and become bloated.

Has anybody else had this issue? I haven't found many people so far with this issue. This is going to be my second exchange to T-Mobile; one more and I'm going to try a different device...

Don't charge it. Take a backup. Switch it off and send it back.
You really don't want the battery to vent and possibly have thermal runaway. Lithium batteries can fail quite spectacularly.
If you must charge it, put it far away from anything flammable and have a bucket of water ready.

Thanks... didn't realize the dangers could be that catastrophic...

Vent with flames come to mind, return it to HTC
In the mean time keep it somewhere always from flammable materials, in case it goes bang, i kid you not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay don't forget to first run your stock ruu and then lock your bootloader, not have it say relocked otherwise they will surely deny you warranty.

Well HTC are using the new lithium polymer batteries, they blow up and set on fire, just be carefull with charging it!

Ive seen a lipo battery go off, I used to fly pro radio controlled helicopters which also run on lipo batteries and watched a poor mans £1000 heli go up in flames and destroyed to pieces, theres no blowing it out when they go, its an acid fire, if your sending it through the post I would first get a lipo safe charge bag and put it in there before posting, it could go off at anytime once it starts swelling.

I have an HTC one M7
& about a month ago it start pop out just the screen on one side of the phone
it's been Swelling real slow but after reading everything you all have posted I'm tripping out
you all are talking about flames & acid fire
what if this phone does that when I have it to my face or in my lap, I'm sure that that will not end well
I did not think it was the battery until i started looking for what can make my screen pop out.
good thing I found this post or I would not have known about the flames & acid fire.
So thank you all for posting this info & saving my face/balls from acid fire

Personally, if my phone would do this, I wouldn't even bring it inside my home again. Unstable Li-ion batteries are very likely to cause a fire eventually.
