Diamond LED - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I just bought a Diamond today and i noticed that the LED (placed by the speaker) doesn't do anything. It doesn't light when the phone is charging nor when the bluetooth is activated - is this a fault in the phone?

JESUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
How many people are gonna ask this question?
Why do people buy phones and not even know how to use them properly!!!
It`s not an LED it`s a light sensor...

"placed by the speaker" <--Look towards the LEFT of the speaker, there is a little 'squarish' part there that is the light-sensor which detects ambiance to dim the LCD's brightness up/down according to the surrounding lighting.

where does it say, LEFT? it could be RIGHT?
the little camera is placed BY the speaker? now i placed a screenshot. thats all

@neonlite: Obviously one would think that the words "placed by" would indicate 'close to' or 'right next to'.. the front facing VGA camera is farther away from the speaker than the light sensor.
And which one looks more like an LED light? I think the OP is smart enough to make out that what you were referring to is a camera.

lies!

Couldn`t it be the light saber port?

The diamond sold in India is GSM only so the front VGA camera is not present because is supposed to be used for video call thru UMTS.

the second one..lol.
word of advice, if you get one, NEVER i repeat..NEVER point your laser at your camera. i did it to my old SDA (with an even weaker laser) and it literally burned the camera. This is an old picture i found showing the burn marks, look at the pop can...
haha..poor sda...thats machine abuse!
i was always inclined to buy a laser..the blue/red looks cooler
but i need to do some research..they say its more "burnable"
as for the kaiser camera capability lets wait till the video drivers emerge
maybe it will improve the speed and maybe..just maybe improve the pictur quality
*fingers crossed*
oooh oooh...
btw i had the same foldable clock/alarm u have in the background
(behind the beer can)
that is untill my drunk gf launched a badly aimed dart at it...

But if you have installed any of the cooked ROMS using hard SPL, you have already said goodbye to your warranty anyway. So what is the difference ?
Olipro has described a method to revert to original ROM and SPL...just for those "warranty" issues. I'm sure I've read it into one of the Diamond ROM section topics, so there's no problem with that. But for this operation (described here to improve the sound), you have no return...though, I do believe it'll improving the sound a lot...but also it'll help to get a lot of dust inside your phone
Warranty? I would have thought you would just replace the cover with a new one should the need arise.... Anyway a somewhat interesting post, although the issue of dust and whatever else getting inside the phone has kind of turned me off unfortunately. Thanks for sharing.
i wont!
I wont do that to my phone!!
try and share your results ^^

of course it works, and of course its louder
all ur doing is removing some of the shielding and case... is it really that hard to work out?
Warranty is now voided, and u will now have loads of **** in ur phone. congratulations.
I never listen to music/radio without my headphones... I have no doubt that it can improve the overall sound but... it's kinda barbaric + it leaves enough space for more dust and stuff... hope it works for you guys!
This looks nice, i bet the part with the 3 holes in the case it's not that necessary. Can someone who did this leave some feedback ?
While I'm sure this works I'm still not convinced that this is the only solution for the ****ty loudspeaker.
I know there is the audio something tweak which helps a bit, but for instances, some alerts such as my alarm (alarm 5) and my "you got message" alerts are shockingly loud, like scary loud.
But then you get the in call loudspeaker and the video playback which are whisper quiet. Frustrates the hell out of me
I'll do this once my Diamond is out of warranty.
If you are worried ab out dust getting in, just glue some kind of filter to the inside of the holes, such as womens stocking or fine mesh...it's not difficult
I'll do it to, after 1 year and 11 months )

Accelerometer on Xperia X1

Is there ANY possibility that the Xperia X1 has a hidden accelerometer in it? As it was HTC who manufactured it and as HTC loves to hide some cool features of some devices, do you think X1 has an accelerometer hiden in it?
And IF it has... how can we discover it? Any ways or only if HTC or Sony tell us?
Thanks in advance!
hasn't someone disassembled the X1?
Im pretty sure they didn't find an accelerometer
I've seen a video of Xperia getting dismantled, Havn't seen anything that looks like a Accelerometer.
Does someone have a screenshot how the hardware supose to look like?
See this: http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/forms/blobs/retrieve.cgi?attachment_id=1028928&native_or_pdf=pdf
Pix from dismantheling... Thanks to: XavierGr
i've tried all the usual accelerometer drivers and tweaks and they don't work so I presume there's not one.
Is there a hardware dump utility like lspci that we can run to see what's there?
View Poll Results: Xperia X1 has a hidden accelerometer?
Yes, it has 1 4.00%
Maybe it has 7 28.00%
No, it hasn´t 17 68.00%
Who said yes?

I dont know if it has a g sensor or not but if it does it is well hidden. I thought the X1 only had A-GPS too until i found a program that unlocks the real FULL GPS so it might still be possible.
Maybe you will have to go for the X2 if you really need the accelerometer

Huh? There's still speculation about the X1 having an accelerometer?? Thought that's like history already.
thats easy.
just let it drop from like 2 meters height. if it accellerates then it should have an basic accelerometer. if it drops at constant speed then it doesnt.
if it doesnt drop at all then it should have an hooverometer.
i would test it for you but i am currently at a spacestation right now and the test would show up "hooverometer" all the time.
if it drops to the ground you should hear a noise. if it is a loud and clear "CLANK!" then it has definitely an accelerometer. if it is a relatively soft "clank!" then it doesnt have one. its probably very hard to distinguish between "CLANK!" and "clank!". i suggest you record the noise and upload it here to have another poll!
even if there is nothing mentioned in the white-paper and not a single driver available and no sign of an application whatsoever ... this conspiracy should be solved once and for all. also there is still the "tv-out issue" to solve. yesterday my x1 was floating near my tv and the tv-screen did still show a picture!!!
good luck,

its has GPS... its listed as having GPS... all GPS programs work without drivers or any tweaks needed >.<
Would be pretty funny if they had hidden a g-sensor in it just for fun...
If there was a hidden iphone in my x1 I would start crying.
It has an accelerometer. It's found right next to the extra RAM and the TV-Out port, all three are clearly labelled if you care to open your X1 and find out. The best part? They're all activated simply by pushing a little pixie shaped button near the bottom of the handset's interior.

A dev could have a bit of fun with that. Add an accelerometer, hide it and don't tell anyone. Then patch the device 6 months down the line with an update that makes the screen switch off whenever the phone is moving and switch on whenever it's stationary.
Worth the lolz? The guys in charge of the repairs/complaints departments would likely say no.

[Q] black and white lines in camera

Hi guys...
i have a problem with camera,
when i try to snap photos with white back ground, am able to see moving black and white lines.
the same lines are observed on photos also.
the service centre people have replaced my mother board, but still same problem :crying:
Again my friend adviced, it can be due to some light effects, but taking a snap at same place with other mobile is fine
please advice me guys if anyone have faced this problem.. :highfive:
find the attached photos

Depends on the lighting so not much can be done.
I've had the problem with my X once. It was in Hershey Park Arena (the old one) in one of the halls, taking a picture of a logo on a wall.
I've never seen it since. So it may be related to specific lighting conditions.
What happens at home, under low non-florescent lights?

Under non fluorscent lights, it is fine.
why i am worried is, i am using this phone from 5 months, and recently this change is observed and
at the same place , with the same model (moto x) doesnt show this lines/this behaviour.
so i thought this is problem my handset itslef.

from what you are describing it sounds like the issue only arises in just the right conditions. that means your camera hardware is probably fine and the problem can be seen as software related. Moto X camera software doesn't give you much in the way of settings to mess around with, so you should try third party apps that do have more settings. Maybe a more photography enthusiastic user can chime in here, but I'd think trying an app that has settings for different lighting conditions, stuff like white balance, etc might help.
I use stock camera myself, and not that much at that, but I do notice you can get completely different exposure of the same scene in the same lighting if you change something like the manual focus or the angle of your shot.
I have a Moto X and was facing a similar problem. Using a third-party camera app named CameraMx solved it for me! I dont know why or how but it worked for me! That app seems to correct those black and white lines in some way! Hope it works for u too!

Wireless charging available?

So i just got my moto x4 yesterday and it's an indian variant (no android one or project fi). And I know that out of the box it doesn't support wireless charging. But then i stumbled upon this setting in the sound section:

Also has anyone been working on a custom solution for it?

ya see! that's the one i'm talking about! it specifically mentions "Wireless Charging Sounds" ! whoever knows what that means.
Well, Motorola does have some "undocumented hardware features". There IS a small white LED that responds to "notification LED" commands hidden between selfie flash and the front speaker grill. Until someone like iFixit tears an X4 down, I won't say that it CAN'T wireless charge (just that it DOESN'T).

yes i hope so too! ifixit will surely come across something. and if they do, then from there on, it's only a small job for a developer to make use of that hardware.

They wouldn't disable it, but they might not include the additional hardware needed for cost reasons. If there's a plug point and room in the case for a coil, 3rd party chargers are POSSIBLE (but not PROBABLE)
