My Diamond is a bit different - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Today when i was just casually going through a review, i found out that my HTC Diamond is a bit different compared to others. Mine doesn't have a camera on the front like others are having :s

^ See mine has no hole on the right side. Its just plain :s
I got my Diamond from India with bill, can anyone else confirm that even they don't have the second camera ?

You probably have the indian variety without 3G, and thus no use for the front camera. Well you can use it for other things than video calls, but that's the main reason for the front cam.

either that or you have the north american CDMA version

like this one ?

yeah. I don't have the second cam. I can imagine disabling 3G with Indian Rom but removing the camera is stupid imo

I got mine on craigslist.org for 360.00 us sprint model. it has no front video call camera nor does it have fm which I also read in a review but for 360 and the fact I never made a video call it does not bother me. The only thing I hate is all the Sprint branding and crapware!

FM

even if you install the fm radio cab, the radio still won't work, cause HTC didn't put the radion tuner in the sprint version, or most of the cdma variants for that matter.
Now, if you have a US GSM version, you can install the radio cab to make it work, and it also doesn't have front facing cam too...

Have you actually used this for a teleconference? How did it work?
My network doesnt support it unfortunately.
So all i use for my front camera is a mirror / lame youtube blogs.
Actually I found out that the front camera takes photos much faster than the rear camera, and even though the resolution is not as good, the faster responsiveness often makes it a preferred tool for photos.
I've only used it once and it works well.
can someone post a pic from the front camera and post it here?
Here ya go.
at&t
does at&t support videoconference on its 3G? I have the Kaiser but no one to test with! I dont know anyone as self indulgent as myself who buys these things
dont mean to hijack this thread but can we use front camera for yahoo messenger or msn?

AT&T does support video calls, but you'll need to have a video calling packaged added to your line less you want extra charges. Another way for AT&T to make more $$. I can't wait for the day when video calls are no different from normal voice calls.

I was also wondering if (at the very least) one way teleconferencing would be available on AT&T (via cellular video)...obviously this is not on of the four supported phones, but with the 3g network in place it would be interesting to try...

You don't need working drivers for that video - it's Liverpool - they always play in slow motion anyway so no problems with camera lag
"You don't need working drivers for that video - it's Liverpool - they always play in slow motion anyway so no problems with camera lag "
LOL !!!
Nice
Interestingly that endgadget article has a post that this phone does not actually run Windows Mobile... but some sort of rip-off.
Other sites that sell the device don't state WM6 (or any version) on their features list.
Does M$ charge alot for putting WM on a device? If so that could be one reason for the low price.
Plus it only has a 30 day warranty, I believe the tilt has a 1 year(?)
More here

Uses "some sort of Windows Mobile operating system". The real one is already a buggy mess, go figure that one...LOL
I bet it will perform better than the Kaiser, and I'm not kidding (sadly).
It will probably perform better than the Kaiser because it is using a basic OS that is more like a calculator than a Windows Mobile.
So, it probably boots up in 5 seconds, switches apps in a fraction.
But it also probably doesn't have TouchFlo, PIE, or many of the other features that make the Kaiser/Tilt nice.
It is like any of the other numerous phones out there on the market (like from Verizon) that have a slide out keyboard with a proprietary OS.
This of course is assuming the statements above about it not being WM6 are true. If it indeed runs WM6 then I am sure the performance will be equivalent to the Kaiser.

Anyone brave enough?

So i have a Vibrant, i fount this thread, and was wondering if anyone was interested in trying this out on there captivate, obviously it requires a captivate and some balls, so whom ever has both see if its possible and give it a go.\
Edit: i belive this is the CAMERA replacement

as you can see, we don't really have the slot for the ffc to go into. Interesting idea though. Hope it works out on the vibrant

Not sure if it is possible; the captivate has a slightly different chassis.

I honestly cant tell from the pictures, someone who has town down there phone or who is willing should confirm, i see an area on the phone with plastic next to the camera, what i cant tell is if it is possible to drill through that and not harm the phone, someone who has taken apart there phone check it out.
are you sure its not possible from this photo?

ya. if you look at the top of the casing, you can see it arc above the camera. There's not really any room for an addition camera and it definitely doesn't have a fully recessed area for it to sit in.
Well good news is an unlocked Vibrant will work on AT&T's 3G.

FM Radio

Just got my new Galaxy note. And I cant find the FM radio app that
is suppose to be on this phone. What am I missing?
It is suppose to be a international unlocked version, but I see a lot of ATT apps on the phone.

I'd check the ROM version, and consider upgrading/flashing the latest e.g. official version
In case you did Flash a ICS-Rom you won´t find any Radio App.
You could try Spirit FM. It´s the only ICS-App that works.
But it´s not easy to configure and it´s not guarantied that you will get it to work.
Might Google for working settings in that app.

Does your phone have a big hardware home button with a capacitive button on either side; or does it just have four light-up capacitive buttons under the screen?

As far as I know, the Galaxy Note I717, doesn't really have an FM Radio build on the device....
you might be better off getting the international version if you want to have the FM radio right off the bat....
what is your phone model written on the box? GT-N7000 ?

There are supposed to be ZERO at&t apps on a genuine international note. You've been had. The best sign is as stated that the N7000 has physical buttons and not simulated, onscreen ones.

[Q] Help with new radio

Hello,
I have a BYD car, model S1 (Yuan), the radio was developed in China so it have some limitations for example didn't have Google play store, services, etc.
It's really limited to "Baidu". The actual version of Android is 4.2.2 and we are looking for any way to upgrade the radio to something really cool. I guess my goal is to include Android Auto to the radio at some point.
So, any suggestions where to start? a friend of fine already took the radio down of one of the cars and were able to upgrade the Android version to 6.2, however the main issue is that is not recognizing the cameras (1 on the back and 1 on the right side of the car) any ideas?

Hi aaron0989
Sorry to bump and old post, but I have the same car.
Do you still have this car? Were you able to upgrade it?
If you did, Can you explain the procedure?
The thing with the cameras must be something related to a physical connection.
Regards,
W
