Hi people!
Just got my diamond and i do love it!
just a few questions i thought some one could help out with. i have searched for answers to these but they do not seem to be answered or even asked.
To me they seem like obvious questions, but the way each person uses their phone is unique i suppose.
1) i use bluetooth headphones and after upgrading the rom to TOM_DiamondProject_v3.3_WWE from the stock rom the audio quality is MUCH improved. the thing when ever i try to enable audio booster it says i have no headset connected. now i assume the audio booster puts a few treble bass boosts on and ups the voltage on the headphone output. i am i correct in assuming that since bluetooth headphones have their own power and audio circuitry this feature is not needed for me or is there a way of getting the volum/bass/trable boosts enabled with bluetooth headphones? Not to boost the volume of the bluetooth headphones, as that is the domain of the headset, but to send a louder/bass singlal to the headset?
2) people have suggested disabling gprs/internet to save on battery. great idea but i am wondering, if some one sends me a picture, will the gprs/mms connection fire up and accept or will i get a text message, like my mum does, to direct me to a website to download the picture?
3) people have suggested turning of the GPS. whilst this is not a feature i would use ( i dont drive!) i cannot see an explicit option to turn it off any where, such as the comms manager.
4) am i correct in thinking that the touch flow 3d music tab will only play mp3? i have moved some aac encoded mp4 and m4a containred files into the folder and whilst the mp3`s are picked up by the music tab, the m4a/mp4 files are ignored. they play fine in media player so i assume this is a problem with the music tab? any way of making it `see` m4a/mp4 files?
finally.
5) i was hopeing the music tab would be like the cover flow on the ipods but its not. am i right in thinking that i have to sellect the album i want to play and then flick up and down to flick between the tracks? can i not flick between albums like you can on an ipod without selecting the album i want via libary -> albums -> album1 etc? in other words can i only flick between tracks and not albums?
thanks in advance for any help any one can give me!
p.s. while i remember, is there any way to make the text in the sms application smaller? with the keypad and the threaded sms there is no room for what i am texting. can i alter the screen real estate set asside to the previous sms at the top and make it smaller and then increase the amount set to what i am typing? can i make the font used in this program smaller? theres no need for size 14 fonts in sms on this screen!
1> Audiobooster wants the headphones connected to the miniusb port, try coreplayer or srs app to boost normal audio
2> If you've disabled data completely, you'd just get the sms with the link
3> This is managed by the system - GPS apps will open the serial port and the driver will power up the GPS. Bascially it's off until an app opens it.
4> Not that i've seen, but then I dont really use this part of TF3D - perhaps theres a plugin if you search?
5> Tracks from what i've seen from my limited use
Last one is set by going into settings->system->screen
Text size controls the text size of most apps.
2. You have two connections, normal Internet and MMS, only disable the internet one if you want. This won't save you much power though, disabling 3g and push is what saves you the most power. Aslong as your internet connection isnt always active basically.
5. You cannot flick through albums.

#25. Enable Audio Booster without headset-->HKLM/System/State/Hardware/Headset set the value to 1 (soft reset will bring it back to 0)
Hello,
I really like my TD2 and TF3D but i'm missing some things..
I hope someone can make this or maybe it already exists..
- In the contacts tab you have at the right side the alphabet were you can select a letter to search contact, I'm wondering this is possible in the music tab, because when i want to listen to a song that starts with the " w " i need to scroll down allot and that takes some time..
- Scrolling with the zoombar, i have seen a topic about this but there wasn't a working solution
- When you're listening to music with the earplugs you can still use the volume buttons when the devices screen is turned off. It would be really helpful to go to the next song with the " hang up " button and go to the previous song with the " start call " button. Is this possible??
- Open a program by holding the start and/or back button. This does work by holding the " start call " button and the " hang up " button. But not with the start and go back button.
- I can't change my SMS receive sound in a .wav file of 4.21kb. Any solution for this? maybe some config change program
- No top curtain at the home menu, I tried some .cabs that would remove it but this didn't work, there was jus't a white bar. and there was also a white bar in the other tabs.
Thanks and Regards, Bas

Already found and tried that but it doesn't work...
To scroll really quickly through your entire list of music, try using Windows Media Player instead of the TF3D music tab. Just switch off the tab in Settings and the phone will use WMP instead. It's much, much faster than TF3D and displays your album art face on instead of skewed to one side.
As far as skipping tracks is concerned, WMP allows you to assign whatever keys you like to whatever functions you want. Personally I use stereo bluetooth headphones which have built in volume, start/pause and track skip controls.
No topcurtain

This bluetooth adapter is what I use myself. Without changing any settings on my TD2 it works perfectly, and it can change volume up / down and change track. Sound quality is far better than what I was expecting, with no hissing or crackling. And cheap as chips.
Is it possible to keep YouTube playing in the background while I another stuff? I was listening to an audio podcast on YouTube and decided to send an sms as soon as I press back or the long press home button to change apps, the audio ceases..
Is this a bug or is there some workaround?
Thanks
anyone?

I believe this behavior of the app is by design. It stops playback when it's not in the foreground.
Not sure you can do anything about it.
At least the new app doesn't stop playback when you press power button
Sent from my Nexus One
how is it that iOS even has a tweak to keep stock youtube app running in the background and Android doesn't!?!
Because someone that wrote YouTube for Android decided that he doesn't want this app to run in the background, and doesn't want to give the option for that either.
What to do? Use the unofficial apps, I guess. They work.
works on my nook and Optimus

It's possible, that I am the noob, but it does not seem to be a question...
E-mail not working: Which one? Email app, Gmail, other app?
Add music popup: try another music player. You cannot play any file from file manager, because not all of the files are music. You can play any music files from file manager, but not in a popup but the music player app.
Back button end call: You have to enable it in settings.
Battery issue: Search box is your friend.
Use some 'understandable' language

I've been playing around with desktop mode quite a bit and overall it seems to be a good idea. With the exception of TeamViewer I could move my entire business day over to it quite easily. I'm using an Inapio hub and keyboard / mouse combo with a usb dongle.
Apps that I've found work well with it are:
1. All of the Microsoft apps. I mainly use the Outlook app and Microsoft Edge and have no complaints about either of them.
2. Enpass and Lastpass.
3. Most if not all of my banking apps work well.
Apps that don't work well:
1. Quite a few games. Some of the games that require taps don't recognise mouse clicks. Risk is one I can think of straight away.
2. TeamViewer (app-specific problem as it doesn't support remote desktop scaling from the Android app).
Bugs / annoyances I've found:
1. Quite often when clicking on buttons in browsers, email and other apps I have to click slightly off-centre to the left and below the button before the click is recognised.
2. When deleting the built-in apps from the desktop the rest of the icons don't auto-rearrange.
3. No auto-rearrange of icons.
4. Lacking a slideshow for the desktop background.
Do you use desktop mode and how do you find it?
How is performance and input lag? Is it smooth?
I couldn't get see Gmail. Which is a bummer since we use g-suite at work....
Apart from that it worked very well. My monitor has the most and keyboard plugged into it and the video about is a USB-C cable. When plugged into this the desktop is very well integrated with the most and keyboard working fine and the phone charging via the video cable as well. But as I said, no Gmail...
@Riio Performance is very good with no lag.
@palexr Yes, a bit odd that the gmail app isn't listed under the start menu. I think it must be about the only one that doesn't show up there. You could always use gsuite via a web browser?
One type of app that works well in desktop mode but not in phone mode is SIP / VOIP clients. I use Bria but have also tested Zoiper and both app stop running under the lockscreen; even with "ignore battery optimisation" enabled and yet Skype works perfectly.
Gmail app icon does not appear in the desktop, but if you receive Gmail notification and you click on it, Gmail will load. What I did was to pin to Task bar and now I have it in desktop. So all you have to do is to wait patiently for the notifications of your favourite apps to appear on the desktop.

Thanks, yes that worked - to a degree. I can open Gmail from the notifications and then pin it to the Task Bar as you say. However, clicking on the resultant icon will only open my private email and not my work one. However, if I get a work email, I get a notification which I can open and access my work emails - pinning that to the task bar will only open my private gmail.
So, yep it works, just need to send my work email an email.
Thanks.
What determines whether an app icon will appear or not in desktop mode ?
I tried it but could not find YouTube app for example in Desktop mode ? So how do I trigger other apps not shown in Desktop mode ?
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
What triggers the DPI used on an external screen? I have two screens - one 23 Dell monitor and one 23 Samsung SyncMaster TV/Monitor. Both support 1920x1080 however when I connect HM10P to a Samsung Screen I noticed the DPI is much lower than on the Dell one (same resolution).

Anyone know if there is a list of supported app in desktop mode, or some specific flag/tag to search for in Play Store. I'm interested also into Visio replacement and some PDF editors but can't understand what to search for.
I didn't understand if this mode is valid only for EMUI desktop (so that developers need to change their app to work specifically on EMUI) or a general Android optimization.
I found a way to add any app, though not all work properly.. Prime video for example, it loads, but video playback is just a black box..
Use another launcher (I used Nova), and open that launcher in desktop mode. Nova looks broken, but don't worry.. Double click (left mouse) on the blank home screen and app search opens.. Find your desired app, open it, then pin it to the bottom bar..
Enjoy
When using PC Mode is there a way to force fullscreen for 3rd Party apps.
I use the Huawei standard video player which is always fullscreen but for some videos there is no sound so I use VLC or MX Player. Cant seem to get rid of the taskbar below when using the other apps.

Same issue, a bit annoying, but nearly full screen.. Chrome won't go full screen in videos either, nor any other non stock video player I've tried..

Dang. Was hoping it was something I was not doing.
Emailed their support requesting they add this. Hopefully they enable with a software update.

This is what bothers me, I've been using terrarium app a lot lately, and casting my screen to our tv works just fine but since its using wireless connection, image quality is somehow affected and also the auto motion plus wont work, movements arent that smooth(was accustomed to 60fps). Tried using the desktop mode and image quality did improve and the auto motion plus now works but movies on mxplayer is not going on full screen.
Autocad mate 10 desktop mode
Someone can tell me if autocad app runs with desktop mode on mate 10?
Tested yesterday the Easy Projection mode, a huge disappointment from my expectations to get rid of my Windows laptop.
The Microsoft Suite is barely usable, the documents are resizing correctly but Word, Excel, PowerPoint features are just a ghost of the rich applications I have on the laptop. Also the UI is clumsy with commands to be accessed in weird way.
Also the user experience is far from productive, with the right button click doing the function of the left button, no point and drag, no changing apps position in folders.
Dropbox app, files app etc are just a stretched version of the mobile one with a lot of empty space.
The only well functioning is web browsing, so I suppose relying on Google Docs will be fine.
Want to ask if does someone else have this problems, maybe need I to do some setup.
My desktop test
Today I tested the desktop mode.
I was quite amazed about what I saw.
A few things I did not like:
-citrix receiver did not work well
-rdp connections did not go well
-no VoIP apps possible because the user that is activated has no rights to the phone options.
I am looking for the possibility to change some settings for the desktop mode. I can't find the application "desktop mode" to elavate the rights.
Also the edges for the chrome browser are not as good as we would like to see. I will subscribe to the fora for the Huawei desktop mode to see if I can learn. Something there.
If anyone has tips for me please advise me.

i have problems with VLC, it works fine but playback controls dont appear on screen.

The three are full screen support, to do it go to the icon on the task bar and left button, then enable it.
Just wondering with the P20 series released, updated EMUI 8.1 have there been any improvements in desktop mode compared to the mate 10?
anyone know how to have desktop mode auto-launch when cable is plugged in, rather than having to choose desktop mode from status bar?
