Useless Tip #37 - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Keep misplacing the stylus because you can't be bothered putting it back into the device when not using it for short periods?
Well, no longer! Simply place the stylus along the top edge of the device - the magnet inside will keep it put!

This tip doesnt work on my Diamond with rom version 1.93. Do you think my ROM is missing the software to enable the magnet in my Diamond?
Is there anyway to update my magnet to version 2?
Hehe!

cool tip thx

Hmm... yes, it certainly sounds like you're missing something.
I think the process known as 'cooking your own ROM' may help. I'm not too familiar with it myself but try popping your Diamond into the oven - 200°C for 25 minutes should sort it one way or another. Indeed if you lay the stylus on the upper part of the device beforehand you should find it sticks nicely.
Let us know how it turns out!
Mathew

want to make some $?
develop a tracking program of the stylus. this software should detect the magnetic field of the stylus from at least 10 m or integrate the GPS unit (without the usual lag) so we should be able to pinpoint the stylus position.
waiting for the first prerelease and the usual "donate" link.

I tried 'cooking my own rom' but ive ended up with a complete mess, its burnt to smithereens!
But it now looks like a walkie talkie with the stylus burnt on it! I think I may of put the stylus too high up so it sticks out. Not to worry, retro it is. hehe!

not a newbie, but these are stupid questions

stupid questions that i cannot, for the life of me, figure out myself
1) is there a hardware reset button on the device?
2) how can i get at the battery?
man, my Wizard was a lot easier in this respect.

1) yes, just near the small usb/charging connector. Pressing and hold the power button approx. 5 seconds is another method.
2) left thumb pressing the upper left of the battery cover, right thumb pressing the bottom right, and then both thumbs push/slide it up with force (read the manual for details)
3) hahahaha

Cab to make my phone do this......

hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone has gotten their hands on this new cab that is suppose to turn our kaisers into a plunger. As of right now i've got all the upgrades such as the Irazor cab, ispatula cab, and even the infamous irobot cab, but can't seem to find the plunger upgrade.
Any help would be appreciated and please don't hate me.

Sure! At first display was full of water stains, now there is only one blurry stain (looks little ****ty because of mould-brown color ) near left edge, but still it is full working PDA. With some issues with hw keyboard - CAPS and first three columns from left not always (1/50 times) works, but it's acceptable.

Toshiba G900 - my new toy, about the same speed as the Kaiser

Just to piss you off some more:
I got a Toshiba G900, and it's about as slow as the Kaiser. Actually it's a little bit slower, buuuuuuut: THE SCREEN IS 800x480
So, i'm kinda saying bye bye (i won't be missed, i know).
GL, HF and F*&K HTC !

I know, isn't it great knowing we can NEVER get what we want ? But i realised what i do the most on my phone (1. e-mail 2. Opera mini 3.Phone calls) and i got what seems to fulfill my needs.
Interesting point, how does opera-mini works on the 800x480 screen ?

In a word: GREAT !
There's only one problem: if i choose the medium/small text (which gives me a page rendering close to a desktop browser), the menu bar and menus get very small -hard to hit with the stylus.

Hall of Shame!

Well, following lukybandit's example in the Excalibur forum (so check that for more info), I've decided to start a similar thread here. To save space, here is the original, where the idea came from:
lukybandit said:
Hello Guys,
I notice newbies or sometimes, even regulars asking stupid questions. To save space on XDA, here are some examples that you should steer away from. Take this seriously and it's all in good fun. Before I show you some examples, this is to show that some questions are either already answered in the forum, or use your common sense or finally, if you have no common sense - READ the forum. Everyone was once a newbie but how did we all get here? We searched, read and maybe asked a question here and there, but valid questions. So use the "Search" button, find yourself a topic and seek knowledge. We're all here to help but don't flood the forum with stupid questions. This is to teach all newbies to avoid these kind of questions and cut the regulars some slack. From nowonwards, whatever DUMB thread I find, I will trash it and post the link here.
Example #1:
Can I Put The App(Fruity Loops) On My Dash?

Give me a Break. How do you expect to convert a 5 GIG .exe (Windows Install) file to a .cab? It's a phone. Damn it - Yes, this phone can DO a lot of things but don't expect to scratch your records on a phone. Who the hell is mixing a song on their phone? No Professional !!! haha What has the world come to? You see someone mixing a song on the bus, head bangin' - pissed off cause he isn't getting the beat right cause his **** ain't tight - well no, DUH you mixing on a PHONE lol

You know you can enable those white "bubble windows" that pop up on receipt of new SMS messages etc. I'm *sure* years and years ago when I first used Window Mobile that calendar reminders popped up in similar bubbles.
How do I enable them? At the moment all I get is my alarm goes off, which just leaves an alarm icon in the top menu bar for me to click on, but I want the brief details to appear in a bubble - is there a reg setting for this?

Doesnt the Diamond have an LED?
Hello!
I bought my Diamond yesterday *yay*...
I wonder, that small transparent piece of plastic built into to the earpiece. Is that an LED?

I had an HTC Wizard before which blinked green when I had signal and orange when charging or a message received.

But I agree it comes to a point where its to much!
What about banning the word fagphone?? (iPhone) thats were my support is!
I was scheptical so i reserved myself to the idea that we should really make a harmless joke app that shows you the batt is charging. Then see how many people download it.
Also could you guys tell me how to modify the registry so my phone heats up more because want to put it in my cofee every morning.
is it possible to install xp (sp2 or sp3) on htc diamond??

g1 diamond?

is there a way to make a hardware keyboard on the diamond?
There is actually this very technical procedure that you can do.
You first gotta cut your diamond in half, then take a G1 and cut the keyboard out. You glue the two pieces together and you will have a GDiamond.
where precisely do i cut, and with what?
You can take a butter knife and apply hard pressure to what you think would be the middle of the phone. When you hear a few cracks and the screen breaking, you know your on the right path. Good luck.
Thanks abunch. I will do this in a couple minutes and tell you how it comes out to look. I can't wait to have a GDiamond!
Okay sounds good, let me know how it goes.
