i love it, works like a charm for me, but you need to take others opinions like a grain of salt until you actually try the device yourself..

I think the Diamond will have some issues as lots of other devices, but they'll be worked out with later ROMs.

Are you in the USA? If so how can it work like a charm with NO 3G or 850Mhz support? So if you are an AT&T NO EDGE?????? I have the unit and use both SIMS and no better one or the other..

nah i bought a prepaid optus sim and testing it with that at the moment, $70 bucks gets you 300MB and some decent call time so thats cool with me, and whey optus roll out their 900Mhz 3G network it will work a treat...
this phone doesnt operate on NextG(850Mhz) it's 3G bands are 900/2100

telstra are a rip off. im on optus on a $70 prepaid turbocharge. gives u $650 worth of calls/txts/video calls and 300mb of data.
telstra soon enough will drop their prices when optus roll out their 900MHz HSPA network.

my advice: go for touch pro if kb and memory slot r important to u.

Hmm, just got mine and have that horrible sinking feeling that I've blown £400 on something that I'm not going to be very happy with.
First, it crashed when loading the customisations, so I hard reset and this time it went ok, but then another application (Touchflo) crashed soon afterwards. It's been ok since, but doesn't inspire confidence.
Second, Touchflo is quite laggy at times and also fiddly, these may be issues for me because I have big hands.
Third, the whole Touchflo thing seems a bit fiddly, I'm almost tempted to run with a standard HTC or Windows 6.1 homescreen to see if there's any improvement.
Fourth, the soft keyboard has keys that are very close together, even in portrait mode the keys are a bind to use.
Fifth, wifi not working very well with my router, keeps disconnecting, but my TyTn2, S730, S710, TyTn, E51 all work ok on it.
I've not had a chance yet to test battery, call quality etc.
Fingers crossed it's just a learning process and with time maybe the whole Touchflo thing will be refined a little more.
It certainly doesn't feel anything like as slick as my Ipod Touch for typing, browsing, music etc.
I have a bad feeling that I should have waited for the 3g iPhone.

Hey, don't get too down so soon...have a look for the Diamond tweaks - they'll speed up your device (especially TouchFlo) like you won't believe!

That's the difference between the Touch Diamond and the iPhone. It's much easier to fix problems with the Touch Diamond through registry edits and third party software, than it is to fix problems with the iPhone...

Yeah, but why the heck do we have to!? Can't HTC build a quality device that just works out of the box?! Then leave it to us mostly to customize it and somehow improve its usability!? Man, everyday I read about newer and bigger bugs and flaws. May be most of them will be overcomed thanks to this comunity, but were is HTC with its support for its high-priced devices!?
I'm a tech geek alright, and I love having all the newest tech gadgets around. I've wanted to get a WM phone so many times throughout the last few years but they were always behind in lots of aspects compared to the Symbian ones. Then HTC released its TyTNII with its holy specs, great design and somewhat compact size. This was my phone! Yeah, right! Then I found out about this huge issue with the video performance and followed it for about three monts waiting for a solution either from HTC or XDA. And OK - HTC had some problems with Qualcomm support for its stolen from Broadcomm chipsets whatever. So they announced Touch Diamond with a new chipset and "3D GPU" which "processor enhances the user interface". And then again it needs tweaks to make it - not better, but just usable. Then all the other bugs and flaws users say about in this forum.
Well damn you HTC, I'm about to leave the idea of having WM phone again. And that from a fan of yours that followed you back from the era of Qtek devices.

go to user CP

So wht is the verdict guys... is it worth buying it or wht i was planning on buying it but i heard a lot rumours tht is it really not worth it... cause the main problem is it is really slow!!!! even after applying the tweak to speed up the phone cause after tht it seems u'll need to soft reset a couple of time and even hard reset....
So the million dollar question is buy or not to buy???

Maybe a WM device just isn't for you. I wouldn't be happy if I wasn't constantly fiddling anyway, so it's better for me to get a device that needs improving than to get a device that works fine (because fiddling will break it).

Need input on how G2X functions as a phone

Considering buying the G2X in 3 days although I am having serious misgivings after reading some of these threads which list the serious issues this device seems to be plagued with. I would greatly appreciate any feedback on how the device functions as a phone such as call clarity and volume through headset and speaker phone clarity and volume. Also apparent signal strength etc. Any and all help is warmly received.

I had the 2x for a month nov. And i will say that the phone have some problems.but its a great phone, and many people are working on it, so it will be a very good phone. I will recommend it to every body. Sorry the bad english.

Thanks so much for your reply. Could you tell me how the sound is such as the volume and clarity with speakerphone and head set also the GPS?

The sound is god. Also with speaker. I had a desire hd before, muts better sound on the 2x. I think the small problems with this phone, will be fixed. And we will end up with a fantastic phone, and very very fast.

Thanks again I probably will

I have the phone since last friday (Vodafone Germany tho) and it looks like I got a good one lol... I also read all those threads here weeks before getting it and actually made sure that I wouldnt have any issues getting a new one from Vodafone if I had lots of problems.. turns out I dont. Had a few forcecloses the first day (even F-Secure crashed but I never ever launched it so far) but since then not a single one. Also no reboots or major laggs or something similar as reported in that other thread.
The sound quality is actually pretty good, way better then the Nexus One, the speaker is way better.
GPS is fast enough, didnt experience any trouble at all.
But I am going to install a Custom Rom as there are a few lagg spikes when launching apps and stuff but nothing really bad. I just want to see how fast this phone can really be

Also, keep in mind that the device we'll get in the US will be different in build and software from the international version. The speaker/mic combo will most likely be similar, but things like GPS and call quality can vary drastically because they're based on software.

Good point! I use GPS a lot every day and most of the day. I have a Vibrant now and the GPS leaves a lot to be desired. Teetering back and forth as to whether to pull the trigger and get it or not. Probably will though. Been waiting for it to come out for awhile.

I had a Nokia N8 at home, it could find satelites really quick. The LG2X can't.
The speakers are really the worst hardware part of the device.. really bad sound it's the biggest negative. Overall it is a great phone , the best phone I've ever had, and enjoyed the most.. just too sad the soundquality + speakers is really bad imo.. but my contacts told me that they can here me very good.. so its just you suffering on that not the callers -_-
I can just recommend it. But with the sidenote you to check those things by yourself first live, if these attributes are really that important to you, so you don't get disappointed after.
Would like to hear your thoughts of it when u use it, i believe they could have improved G2x compared to the LG2x, cause it has other messsurements and vanilla android so i guess they reacted to the feedback which was given by the buyers.
Sorry for this long text xD
PS. Just tested GPS again.. and it found within 30 seconds within the building =) GPS is fine!

Every phones has its problem. Nothing is perfect. The o2x as a phone is good. No major issues about it. And after installing paul's MCR, it became a lot lot better.
GPS works fine for me. It just depends where am i. There are places where i can only get a fix after 30-60 seconds but most of the time i can get a fix for 5-10 secs only.

Hey guys, thx for the opinions.
At this moment I have an HTC HD2 and after having owned a numerous number of HTC's I am fedup with them. It seems they make models that always have some issue either batt wise, speaker wise etc.
As I use my phone mainly for gps is there someone who can upload a video on youtube showing the startup with gps status or something?
Also my HD2 has/had a quick lock but the receiver fails in other departments like having jitter on the output making the gps go in crazy steps or circles.
I would also love to see a video of how the screen looks in sunlight and how the speaker sounds when you are using the device as navigation in the car.

Thanks so much for your kind input. This is just the kind of feedback I need to make a prudent decision. My only phone is a cell phone so I need the phone part to be first class as well as the GPS which I use on a daily basis(also hourly). Still undecided oh well I guess I still have 2 more days to make a decision.

Good gift?

Hi folks,
I'm planning to pick this phone for a family member and I was wondering if this phone is still worth getting? I've been reading that there are perhaps some problems with the phone such as reboots, overheating, freezing, etc. Would you say that these are hardware problems or is it a software-level issue?
Also, can you put Launcher Pro on this thing and over-ride LG's UI?
If you think that I should hold off until LG gets their manufacturing lines in order and quality control in place, what other dual-core phone would you recommend that has HDMI?
-Cheers.

Personally i only got one freeze in a week of use, but tbh i wouldn't recommend this smartphone to anyone.
LG has still too much to learn to be competitive with his android smartphones.
Actually this device has a great potential but it's used only in half of it's power imho

Actually there is SGS II, seems better to me, but of course it costs more

why would you NOT reccomend this phone to any1 kite ?
i mean sure, it can be some hassle if your unit has reboots and such, but as far as im concerned, this is the best price to quality(hardware) ratio right now. yea might have to return it if its defective or such, but i dont think its hardware.
personally i WOULD reccomend this phone, but probably not to the casual user, more like to some1 who knows what a ROM is and what does it mean to flash. if some1 likes a simple working phone just get an htc maybe.. heck, even an iphone

i can recommend it for sure, just flash a stable MCR Rom and you´re happy
i didn´t have any reboot or SOD with Modaco FR18b2 yet ...
HDMI out is a great feature
overall speed of this phone is very fine, no need to overclock for daily use, just for benchmarks ... ;-)
i think this phone has a great potential for moderate price
you can run any launcher you want, i also use launcher pro ...

That's the point.

O2x will be a great gift. Best bang for the buck dual core. Just avoid samsung phones. Been through a lot of them and the build quality and support sucks.

personnaly i have no problems with this phone, i have 3 other friends in my town that have it and also they dont have any problems whatsoever..
if you bought me this phone, i'd totally love you
oh yeah, IF you buy this phone.,. just install LauncherPro/ADW Launcher..
that gives it just a little more stability/speed, the LG Launcher is really slow.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm likely to get this phone as a gift if and only if I see the GB-update out first.

Buy it ! Recommend it ! Your family wont disappointed

[Q] Sense rom with Noise cancelation?

Hi there!
I'm trying some sense roms on my nexus one, and I really like them, but I'm having the same problem with all the roms, the noise cancelation is not working. When I call someone they can hear me properly, they say that I sound like underwater or using the hands free.
Someone has the same problem? Any rom that fixes this?
Thanks in advance (and sorry for my English )

i run a runnyrom sense 3.5 all that you ask is in this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580873

In fact I readed the full post yesterday and I saw some people talking about noises during calls, I tried to ask there but I am not allowed to write in development forums. I really want to install that rom but didn't know if it will solve my problem.
So calls are working well? The people that you call don't say that they can barely hear you?

call works perfect for me i don't know whats up with everyone else tho ... i get full bars where i live so maybe that helps to ... why not install n give it a day if u like keep if not move on ..... i'm really in love with that rom but soon will move onto a Amaze 4G cause it;s my 420th b-day baby Woohooo sorry of topic but IM EXCITED

Never found that noise issue yet. Running Runny rom for one day, have some calls and everything's fine. Other people might have different experience, DK.

@ MoeNeXus wow bro look at our status hahahaha SAME n hell ya runny rom FTW witches
ok maybe a yr apart lol im sleepy n well seeing things now smh

That's great! Can't wait to try it when I back home from college.
BTW, people in the Runny post is saying that A2SD is corrupted and needs to be flashed. Downloading this one and flashing is enough? Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5.3 Beta 04 . Works fine even for being beta?
And congratulations for your new phone! I think it doesn't exists in Europe. We are not getting lots of cool phones here. At least the Motorola RAZR MAXX is arriving next month, I am saving money for getting it in summer, that battery seems to solve the unique problem that I find in smartphones.
Thanks for the help!

Afaik, there are two built-in a2sd scripts in Runny you can choose: a2sdx by amarulz and generic a2sd by DT. No need to flash DT script anymore. Last version DT's pretty stable even it's beta.

yup his best bet is to go with generic a2sd cause other one will make u lag if u twaek the hell out the rom

finally I had to flash the a2sd because it was stucked in the boot X.
The rom is awesome, I think it is the fastest that I have tried, but I have some problems, maybe you can help me, as I still can't write in the rom post.
- Where is Facebook for HTC Sense? I really like how it syncs the contacts.
- You can enter in facebook via web? It always says that I have the cookies disabled, and that is not correct, in fact it is the only web that I can't log in, and I need it to connect with fb some apps.
- I installed the sense 4.0 theme, but I can't see the new clock, how I apply that theme? And other problem here, I can't see the previews in the themes, you have the same problem?

for facebook: go to settings>accounts & sync
for sense 4 clock i cant find it either so i just install the sense4 skin manually and it should be just in personalize>display>skins

Hate to bust the bubble but I have the noise issue and no solution yet--I am not a beginner and prep properly
underwater sound on BT and very high level audio to listener

Well I saw that there is not Sense sync for FB in Sense 3.5, just the facebook app, so I had to install another app that syncs the pics, because with the facebook app you can't see your friend's pics in apps like whatsapp, viber, etc.
And I will look for the sense skin, I didn't know that it wasn't working by default, thanks

Finally! I thought that it was a problem with my phone. You only have this noise issue with BT? I have that problem calling as usual with the phone, without any handsfree. This is working for you? I tried with and without XLOUD, with and without BeatsAudio and the same in all cases.
I also had to uninstall the DSP Manager because it force closes always that I tried to call.
I will ask for that too when I can write in the rom post, I don't have enough messages yet.

Bad both ways--sorry for not explaining well
NO BT equals very loud to listener
BT equals underwater and/or reverb type feedback, maybe echo
both are not good enough for me to use rom as I use it for business also
too bad--love the rom--

Ok, so same here.
My friends says that I sound like using a walkie-talkie and they have a lot of echo. If no solution is given I will have to move to another rom too. I had important calls that I had to reject and call back with other phone just because of this.
Thanks for your reply. What I can't understand is why other people don't have this problem... or maybe they don't know that their sound is so annoying.

it is an enigma with rom flashing
some can have issues and 99% don't or vice versa
you do all you can to prep correctly to flash and the chips fall where they fall
a lot of time bootloop issues can be too many bad blocks on nand--not that that is a problem most of the time--but, can be. not up on that stuff anyway--

Please help - really wanna change my phone's OS ;(

I bought an HTC Desire 510 few months ago cause my Xperia ARC died (was the best phone I ever had).
Now I am very disappointed with the HTC 510, mainly cause of it's awful operating system bundled by google ALL OVER the place
The user interface is a one big disaster, so much annoying and unnecessary stuff... besides the annoying bloatware (parental control app? srsly?)
I really wanna root this phone and change it's OS to those similar of gingerbreed, cyanogen etc but I don't know how to do this with my current phone
and don't even know what custom operating systems are available for the model I have.
What annoys me about the user interface:
*Often lowers the earphone music volume without my permission then gives me this annoying warning that making it higher will damage my hearing - srsly?
*Screen tends to lower it's lighting and back again by itself while I use the phone
*A button at the bottom of the menu that looks like a "home logo" will open somekind of useless google page each time I drag that button up by mistake.
*Terrible and irremovable Gallery app, not to mention it displays images in uncomfortable way, it also features a slideshow which often plays automatically without me asking it to each time I enter a photo album.
*Poorly made irremovable alarm clock app
*Other forced google apps installed on my phone which i don't use and can't just get rid of
*Bad just bad option of organizing apps, well for me atleast, back on my Xperia ARC I used to organize my apps by "commonly used apps" feature, went great, here it's just wacky, it doesn't do it automatically after you set it to organize the following way. So I find myself surfing through all the useless apps to find the app I need at the app menu.
Can anyone give me guidance or recommendation for an alternative Operating System I could replace this horrific google product infecting my phone since I bought it?
I presume this phone would become amazing with a new custom OS, did anyone changed the OS on their HTC 510? if yes what you use and how is it?
Also I know to root this device you first need to unlock the bootloader, is there anything else important I need to know when rooting it?

That being said, since you say you are unlocked and rooted then doing a quick search should get you everything you need to rid yourself of all that is bothering you. Depending on what you have and with whom there are some pretty good options out there to use. Check it out and start doing it.
Or you could just throw your phone in the lake, buy and Iphone and forget about it. Bam!

I actually planned to buy Galaxy 3, heard it was good but also had slow loading problems, then I was offered an alternative of this HTC for the same price and faster working system. It was a spontaneous buy.
And I thought buying an Iphone but changed my mind cause of the "itunes" thing.

Ok, how do I deal with the "menu" thing where I want to authomatically always to arrange my icons by last used but cant right now?
I tried themes, but those are so intrusive and full of advertising, well those I tried so far.. (if there are any good ones to recommend I'd give a try) and how about disabling the annoying requests of updates I don't even need? <--(forgot to mention this issue) And how about issues 1-3 I mentioned? any idea how i deal with those then? You talk as if it's so easy, show me then.
About the lake.. better to throw to those who came up with this terrible phone idea

All I can say (and I never said it was easy) is for you to subscribe to all of the HTC 510 Forums and start reading thru the threads. In your case, the most helpful one being this one..."Help & Troubleshooting" if you can not find answers to your particular questions then I would assume that means we just aren't there yet. This is a pretty new device after all. I wouldnt know about themes being I am on custom ROM and that is not an option. You should maybe go for the Unlock and root your phone method. Try out some of the ROMs available. I believe that will alleviate many of your issues since the stock ROM that came with these units have multiple issues. Many of them are the same ones you are experiencing. I wish you well and Read, Read, Read.
Good Luck

You should definitely read through the forums if you haven't so far. I have read/skimmed every thread here about our phone and I almost have no questions or concerns except for some ideas for a couple of issues that haven't been brought up yet or just not yet done.
I only use Sense Home or Dodol Launcher and they both don't have the option to sort by last used, check out Nova, Apex, or some other launcher.
As far as the update is concerned, you can follow this post by LarryBoyG, if you plan to stay on stock. I'm sure a custom ROM will be built that includes the update, unless everyone just wants to wait for Lollipop.
