Any fellow canucks with the rogers branded HTC Diamond?
Mine's on order and I can't wait to start modifying and tweaking the ROM... Any pointers on what to do first would be great. I will share my experiences later on so others with rogers diamonds will know what to do...
Thanks,
hey mr_yellow
i'm interested to see how the rogers branded diamond performs.
i have diam100 model from asia with .05 radio, which works quite well on the 850mhz band.
I'm hoping for some miracle for a radio with 3G support. Maybe u can shed some light on that when it's in your hands?
What do you mean exactly by on order? I have not seen it on the website and none of the reps seem to know anything obout it. Anyways, I was tired of waiting I took the plunge and got the HD.
The HTC Diamond is actually in the system now... Official Launch is Dec 3rd (tomorrow). but I got a rep that knew about it and I'm having it shipped to me.
too bad you went with the HD. you're going to miss the 3.5G. 7.2mbit HSDPA connection!
Yea I just called,
They said they do have the HTC Diamond and when I asked about pricing, he said he couldn't tell me much, all I saw there, 3yrs/649$

Well I am a relative noob, but from what I understand from nunerous sources including Rogers tech reps the data connection is no where near the "maximum" speed. I also thought I understood that Rogers only has 3g and not 3.5g or is that the same thing? Anyways, I won't miss out because I don't have any data now. I won't pay the monthly charges for something I hardly ever use. I do use WIFI from time to time since I live in downtosn Toronto and there are quite a few hotspots around.
yep
Just got mine tonight.
Still tweaking. haven't reflashed or unlocked it yet.
So far, so great. Faster than my Tytn was, but still subjective.
Will update you as things go.

Nice man!
How is it? Did they add anything to it or?
Is it written rogers anywhere on it? (just asking haha )
I'm debatting like you may have seen on my other thread if i should buy it factory unlocked or branded from rogers...
How much did you get it for btw?
all good
its good so far, still loading things to get it functional like my old tytn.
Rogers mostly left it alone. Some bloatware, but just links to vision stuff.
I thinks its CID /SIM locked, so I gotta unlock before I flash anything.
no rogers logos on the device, just on the box.
really nice phone so far, gotta learn to live with the 4gb, had a 16gb in my tytn....
I'm Tier4, so my CSR quoted me 299 with a 3yr re-sign...
Rogers Name Display
!!! to all whom have a new rogers diamond !!!
i need your help getting name display to work on my unlocked euro/asia version diamond.
a thread exists already trying to solve this, see here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347882
as you can see there are a lot of wm users using a variety of devices on rogers having this issue.
please upload your rilgsm.dll file in windows folder or any .dll beginning with "ril", here.
now i'm gonna need help getting this working so if you are exprienced with wm plz help. i have had my diamond since May, and have been waiting since for this rom to be avaliable.
if you can dump the whole rom and post it that will be more helpful, as i can post the link in the general dev and hacking, and it will be pounced on by those user also.
i am so tired of seeing "unknown caller" every time someone calls lol
I think it will help the community a lot if we can figure out how to grab a copy of the official Rogers ROM (so that we can reflash back to stock if something goes wrong).
After that, we can focus on things like App/CID/SIM unlocking...
Name display at Rogers/Fido
I agree with Blazeitup123
I also fed up with unknown caller
I pay for the Name Display and I dont have it.
nanastas: Could you upload the rilgsm.dll
Thanks
Anyone unlocked their Rogers HTC Diamond yet. I'm thinking of doing it, sim unlocking and maybe flashing a better ROM.
Anyone tried already please post results.

hey how did you manage to get the phone for such an amazing price without data plan. can you please pm me. thanks.
Just got mine today. Nice change from the Hermes.
The only problem is that they sent me the french version. Not a big deal since there is no keyboard and I will be flashing a new english ROM anyway.
I got mine on the first day it was launched. So far it is really a good little phone (I am coming off using a 2G iPhone)
The tweaks I found here had made the phone even better!
why need CID unlocked, and SIM Unlocked.?

HEy guys i decided to post her cause the saphire forums are not as active as the dream one
Anyways, I got a MyTouch3g ADP2 phone as a birthday gift and i wanted to know what was the difference between an ADP2 phone and the original phone. Can it recieve OTA updates? Does it have different specs?
It basically is the same as ADP 1 or google ion lol
Its basically like having a rooted G1 without all the steps
here are the specs
http://phandroid.com/2009/11/13/android-dev-phone-2-adp2-is-the-google-ion/
only major thing is its a world phone and its unlocked
ok so its a an already rooted mytouch3g 32B but will i get OTA updates or get 2.0?
pretty sure you will have to flash it yourself unless the OTA comes from Google
alright thanks a lot
I bought a HTC Hero from someone on Craigslist, who ripped me off! Her acct is suspended and I can't activate the phone. How can I reset the rom to clear it?
I am so mad!!!
anyone?
please?
did you tell sprint what happened?
yes
they said there was nothing they could do
you cant...that would require changing the ESN and thats majorly illegal. Best bet is just sell the one for someone for cricket and then get another one.

Wont need to be ported as it will be pushed to AOSP for people to build. IF you are talking about Sense release you can just let that go completely. It wont happen. Will have to wait for HTC to update it.
