Lift your hand if the Jewel is running smooth as Silk

Everything working like a swiss watch over here.
Speed is no longer an issue, and I have adapted to the battery life cylces. Which is not that bad anyhow.
Overall Im very Happy with the Gem.
Any one feeling the same love toward the Diamond???
Cheers fellassss!
PS: Please keep the thread Clean everyone. Specially anything that smells like rotten applessss.
This is about the Jewel not rottenn appless.

You mean that with teh new update the phone is much much better?
I would be waiting the verdict on the update, in order to decide if to but the diamond or not

No, its an overall opinion.
Its been smooth through out this continuous updating!

It's a refreshing change from all the posts with people moaning and whining about their Diamonds

So are you running your diamond with a custom rom?
What software/tweaks have you installed?

I'm happy with my diamond
The next thing to buy is a screen protector!

Yeah, these Gadget specific forums tend to get more negative comments... and newbies reading these forums get the wrong idea, alltough I believe 99% of the users are extra happy with their devices...
I just upgraded to Panosha Shine On 0.9 Light ROM and Radio v1.00.25.05... bunch of tweaks found here at XDA and the jewel is AWESOME...
So Here's my hand!!

did you not get one.....this is a must!

Yes, another big hand up here. The Diamond is an amazing phone. Usually I loose interest for a new gadget after a couple of weeks. Now, after a bit more than a month, I'm still very happy with my Diamond. It runs smooth... (using SwiftBlade's latest rom (v5) and some XDA tweaks)

more than happy
waves both hands in the air

As much as I researched, and badmouthed the iphone.. and bought a htc diamond. I actually tried an iphone yesterday and was blown away by the interface. The touch screen is so much more sensitive, you dont need to apply any pressure. I have noticed on my diamond i have to apply more pressure in the corners than the middle of the screen.. it gets annoying. As much as I hate to say it I am starting to regret my decision to be anti-apple. I am running elite 3 rom with spb mobile shell, and yes it is smooth.. but it is nowhere near as smooth as the iphone.

Nope, I've heard that you should get one in the box, but I bought mines second hand from computer exchange (they have several branches here in the uk)
It was classed as grade a, which is near perfect condition but I didn't get a screen protector...

Why should i move to an iphone forum when i own a htc diamond? You dont understand how much I hated the idea of the iphone... I convinced many people not to get one, I also have a huge list of reasons not to get one. My point is yes I thought my diamond was running smooth as silk, then I tried the iphone which i hated so much.. and THAT really is smooth as silk, now when I use my diamond it feels sluggish in comparison. I think a lot of the people saying their diamond is smooth havn't tried an iphone. I still prefer the diamond because it can run background processes, mind you.
Theres no need to be a ****, post count dosnt mean anything. Maybe you should take some lessons in grammar if you're going to accuse people of not being able to read.

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

Hi kite,
Thank you very much for your frank opinion on the matter, I appreciate it.
Are there any phones out there that you would recommend over the O2X?
Cheers.

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] Owners Camera Performance Opinions

I've got this phone on on order from 3 to replace my One X. A bit gutted about the bootloader situation but there you go...
I've tried the XZ for at least 15 minutes in the 3 store and I'm more than happy with the screen/viewing angles, performance, UI etc. and I feel reassured from another thread in XDA that the battery will be at least no worse than my one x.
The unanswered question for me is the camera.
I'd hugely appreciate it if some of you guys who already have it would be prepared to share their thoughts.
The reviews are mixed to say the least.
Thanks in advance guys and gals!!

Just real world use. I've read all of the reviews and they seem to range from dreadful to good. I'm looking for decent photos but I'm not really fussy so I was hoping that the people who already have the phone could confirm if they were happy or not.

i've read all the reviews in the first 3 or 4 pages on google...
no one puts the camera in "cons" section, the worse one sais that is aligned to last year flagships, and that is not "entusiastic", others say it's very good, others excellent...
no one says dreadful or crap about it
i would see at gsmarena pics, those are made in same conditions on all phones, so it's a valid measurement system, others are just "ambient dependant" and "photographer" dependant...

Thanks for the reply, I was really looking for feedback from anyone who actually had the phone and a few days experience if possible.

hey. i got my phone till yesterday and did a few shots here and there. i cant really compare to anything spec related, since my last phone was a SGS2,
and i am by no means a camera enthusiast.
what can i say, i like the quality^^ the videos look snappy, the pictures too, so theres that. not really helpfull at all, but im surely not disappointed if this means anything to you.
NOT sent from my Xperia Z - but felt like bragging
edit: one function i really like is the automatic mode detection, puts on macro if you need it and so on. the panorama mode is nice and fast and the focus is accurate and fast too.

The deal of the year !!!

Hello guys,
I really do not want to spam the forum , but I see myself obliged to talk about the biggest deal of this year ... It is between Samsung and Asus !!!
As many of you, I want to buy a tablet , a good one ... and to be honest, the best ones available on the market now are the TF701T and the new Note 10.1... If you do not agree , that's ok , you should respect my choice !!
Anyway, if you look around in the forums of these two tablets here on XDA, you will find nothing but problems (lags, bloatware, bad build quality ....) and that's very very annoying for a tablet with such a price !!!!
Yeah they have both good stuff inside their stomach, but it's not enough !!!
It's like if Asus and Samsung are cooprating now.... releasing high end products with problems since the begining.
Please be objective !!!

Uh..
You got so excited, you forgot to ask the question..

It's not perfect for everybody, but no device is it... the TF701 for me is nearly perfect No major issue the last weeks, only battery is draining a bit too fast as of my expectations...

Great , thnks for the small review . Do you have a dock ? if yes, everything is good?? and from where did you get it ? thanks in advance

People who are satisfied will not complain.. So on this forum you will always find more people complaining than happy people. Nevertheless are the negative things just something that let you make a good decision for your new device.
I'm a linux user and my mission is too get linux working on this devices. Still I'm impressed by the usability of a keyboard and touchpad on android. I see the device more as a laptop than tablet (or maybe better.. it is both).. but for a laptop, is has an incredible battery time!
And the screen and its resolution is just awesome!

mine has a loose bezel and thats about it. no dock yet

Was that the best you can come up with? Like really?
If you were in the TF700 threads last year you would have seen we ALL had problems and I most certainly voiced them. For me, Asus finally got it right with the tablet. Although, there's some issues with the dock. I don't own a dock, so no problems for me.
Lastly, I agree with the poster above. A site like this is seeked out by several types of people, such as the tech savy and tweakers. But mostly, it's folks that have a complaint, or need info. Does it bother you that someone is having success with their device?

The emoticon shows i'm just kidding .... and no it doesnt bother me at all , i would be very happy if there are units without problems. I even havent buy one yet. Im more interested in the asus' but you know ... reading all these negative reviews ... come on , put yourself in my shoe!!

Indeed, I'm a happy user too. Nothing wrong with my device. Got an azerty keyboard dock with no isues at all.

I was waiting for the tf701 but when i was traveling in the US i could only find the Samsung and since neigther will be available in my country anytime soon i bought the Samsung.
My previous tablet was the tf300 and i wax happy with it until it was stolen.
One thing that i can say for sure is that Samsung did huge improvements and the difference that was so clear for me in the past between the tf300 and the first generation of the note is almost gone.
So far I'm happy with the Samsung and despite what others said my device is flying, I'm playing dead trigger 2 from the sd external card with 0 lag at all. Of course that turning off some pre installed apps and function helps a lot.
I'm sure the either choice will be a good choice.

You'll find negative comments on all device threads. That's why they are here. You'll rarely see happy consumers on these forums. You get more of a sense of how happy people are with their device on Amazon. As flawed as the TF700T was last year, the majority of consumers still loved their device. Go figure.. Lol.

I had been meaning to do this for a while. But last night I went back to stock. It seems to be a little better but I will know more today.
Thx again.
Also now that it looks like there will be a Flex 2 I wonder how may people will get that one? and if I should get it too? Nexus 6 looks very tempting and my upgrade is in Feburary..

What it all boils down to is user preference. If you like roms and a whole bunch of customizations then the Nexus 6 is the best way to go. Im sure the sales for the Flex 2 wont be too awesome due to the fact that users are experiencing difficulties due to lack of developement. I for one will probably get it cause i am now a devoted LG guy. Iphone is garbage and so is Samsung. Nexus is awesome and i will probably get the N6 once i see a nice decent price drop. But LG to me has changed tge game with their innovative ideas in my opinion. Lack of developement bothered me a while ago,but, now that i am too busy working, making e juice and playing cod i have no time to mess with my phone so it doesnt bother me as much,but, like i said its all user preference buddy.

Very True.. And your right about LG, they make fantastic phones. So much so that it would be hard not to just get a LG G3. The camera on that phone is crazy awesome.. IDK its going to be a super tough choice in Feb for me
