Performance of Android on Topaz - Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development

Hows the performance of Android on Topaz compared to an Android Device with the same hardware? I am asking because I am thinking about buying a used Topaz or a new Android device and they shouldnt cost more than 230€. I already have a windows mobile based device, but I think that there aren't enough apps ( or rather it takes to long to search them).
I want to be up to date with the Android version and I read some threads about flashing a Android device and thats sounds very difficult compared to installing XDAndroid on Topaz. What should I buy?

If you want to work on android permanently get an a phone that uses android out of the box.
Android is not running properly on the Topaz.
There are some severe problems that I am very sure will never be fixed.
e.g.
battery running low pretty quick
no camera
no gps
no SD-Card(as far as I know)
problems with wifi/3g
etc.
So if you wanna use android get an android device..

gps working
sd card is used by system
wifi working
its quite fast
the only thing i am missing is sound and battery life

yeah i agree, if you want a perfect android phone out of the box, get an android phone.
the htc pure works great with android right now, but battery life is shorter then would be with an android phone and sound isn't yet working perfectly. its still under development and it will be a while before its perfectly working glitch free and as a replacement for windows mobile.

not a good idea if you want to use it as your actual phone. nice for testing and proof of concept.

you mean call sound ? external speaker dont work.

external speaker isn't working. Call sound is working

external speaker doesnt work for apps( e.g. pandora, music, videos, youtube) but the external speaker DOES work in call. like if your making a call and you click speaker, the sound will come out of the external speaker.

Get tp2 better phone

It's about bloody time too
Release date is yesterday- I wonder if there's anything different than the one floating around here
At least there is from start a programm icon and the exe isn't anymore in the main memory which gives a advantage of almost 3Mb at your phone.
The changelog says, that they resolved audio routing problems...if they mean sound routing to phone (front) speaker it doesn't work on my diamond. Speech still comes out the top speaker. Anybody maybe got it to work?
Tried it worked but still the back-speaker is used.

Yes and that sucks!!!
Well at least its faster and better looking and better quality than fring.
This "using the main top speaker" has always been a feature of Skype. I don't think it's a bug, but its designed that way.
I believe the earpiece speaker can *only* be used by the phone module of the device, and no other apps can access it.. Maybe some experts can verify my statement.

Agree, can you use skype with headphones?
O wait ill try right now!
UPDATE 3minslater:
Yes it works headphones pretty cool great sound quality (thanks to Jewels great and fast connectivity set) and a skype designed for 6.1. IMO
what you boys think??
SIP calling can be enabled on the phone (your GPS dies hoewever), but then the sound does go though the right speaker. So yes, it is definately possible to not only use the front speaker, and I'm pretty sure this is not a feature, but just an accepted bug.
PS: Some E-Ten devices can have Skype routed to the internal speaker.
Hey mkhattab, jus wanting to know wht is data package price you are paying to etisalat in dubai... cause i am planning to subscribe to it so tht i can use skype too.... thanx a lot....

at least you guys have audio. No audio on htc 6800 or 6900s (cdma).
once installed it says version 2.2.0.38, skype site says 2.2.0.45 ??
I had a "test" version before and it was already v45.
Nevertheless I now have a home plugin and a new splashscreen.
not working
I have installed skype on my diamond but it doesn't works.....
The program start and after the start screen the device make a soft reset......
Why?
Does Video call work with skype ?
Seems to work on mine, i'm just running the orange rom..
Sucks that sound always goes through loud speaker..
As far as I can see, you cant video call with it yet
SKYPE sprint htc touch mp 6900 windows mobile 6.1 NOT working
anyone know of a work around, or an older versoin of SKYPE that will work properly over the sprint data plan on this phone? sprint touch has no WI-FI.
thanx

[Q] A2DP Bluetooth bitpool quality

Hey Guys,
after weeks of trying and searching, i'm really considering to sell my Galaxy. But before i do so, i want to ask once more on this way, if anyone knows or at least got a clue about how to fix the bitpool/bitrate quality for bluetooth stereo streaming. It's important to me as i use my phone for music a lot.
The problem is known for some people, but not a lot coder/tweaker tried their luck on this yet.
The only way I know would be to flash cyanogen. I even tried it, but cyanogen is not for everyday use on the galaxy yet imo. It still has a lot more other bugs, and the battery life is much worse compared to my stock 2.3.3 rom.
Perfect solution for me would be a rom based on the stock gingerbread, with just the bitpool issue fixed. I'd even donate anyone who could fix that.
So if someone knows more about it or would give it a go and tries to fix it... I'd really appreciate that as apart of this issue i really like my Galaxy S
Have you tried gb stock ? I am on jvh and think Bluetooth streaming has improved. Try it and see if you hear the same way?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Hey fylim, thanks for your reply
Are you sure about that? Currently i'm on stock gb. I think JVB... is JVH newer?
EDIT: I've checked it i'm on JVB and modem is JVK. But i haven't read about any improvement on JVH yet... well i may try JVH then... I'd do everything to get it fixed :/
Ok, ive tried JVH... still the same aweful quality Ok, seems like i'll get a WIN7 phone soon then :/
You've got to be kidding me. Just use fre*kin wired headphones. The SGS +voodoo is like one of the best DAPs in the world and you're going to sell it because you want more quality with your bluetooth headset. Let me tell you something bluetooth and sound quality shouldn't be used in one sentence.
There is a reason i bought a bluetooth stereo headset. And just a little headup: You may have terrabytes of space on your SGS to save FLAC's or Wave files, but i bet you're using compressed music as well... So you shouldn't even start to think about "quality" even with wired headphones. So its not a qualified comment at all...
Also, like i stated before, i tried cyanogen and the quality with the bluetooth headset is the same as with wired ones. Also on my mates W7 phone its decent (after a 1 minute tweak)...

Dude, sorry to spam in your thread but I got bothered by that "not a qualified comment". First ,as I said the SGS with voodoo just blows out of the water almost all DAPs (and I mean dedicated music players). Second, yeah I have a 32GB micro sdhd card which I use with my SGS and I almost exclusively listen my music in flac or in mp3 which I have personally ripped. And I'm an audiophile with a vast collection of headphones (even bluetooth ones) and I know what I'm saying - even cheap wired headphones with voodoo sound way better than any bluetooth ones. It's your choice, I understand that wireless is more comfortable but trading an awesome phone with awesome audio quality for a Windows phone which doesn't even have Angry birds for it, let alone proper multitasking and stuff is a bad deal
There isn't much room to talk about quality even if we have 320's mp3's... Trust me, i'm really strict and sensible with such sounds issues, thats why it bothers me so much with the small bitrate on stock gingerbread. It sounds like 96 kbps compressed streaming. With cyanogen it seems to stream in the highest possible bitrate which is about 328 kbp's as far as i know (at least thats how fast it streams to the bluetooth devie on my pc). However, whats the difference between a 320 being played without bluetooth and with bluetooth? I can understand your argument if its a non compressed file format. But even Voodoo doesnt do magic with it. I got quite a bunch of cheap and expensive earplugs which i tested with, and without the bluetooth device. Trust me, you wont hear any differnce (on cyanogen at least)...
But anyway, i just tried the newest cyanogen build and some stuff got improved especially battery seems to be somewhat better... so maybe there's light at the end of the tunnel and i'll wait how cyan gets improved. I'll stick with my SGS then, as i know its sound is really good otherwise and also the rest

Bluetooth Auto Connect

Hi,
I bought a Bluetooth Car Stereo. I've paired it and it pairs fine. When I connect it, it works great and IF I leave BT permanently on, it automatically connects when I sit in the car. If I disable bluetooth to conserve battery, upon re-enabling it, it DOES NOT automatically connect. Instead, I have to go Settings, Wireless, Bluetooth and press Connect manually.
Is there no way of making my phone automatically scan or check or whatever? I'm pretty sure my old Nokia could connect automatically, in fact I'll test now!
Thanks,
Joe
Anyone? Perhaps an app you can recommend?
Bluetooth Autoconnect (by WestOneTech) ... but it's not free ...
Okay. I flashed MIUI MintBerry Edition, and guess what? It allows automatic reconnecting on bluetooth enable. So I know for a fact this isn't some android limitation and it's definitely a setting or config of some sort in SGS firmware.
There has to be a way in which this can be fixed on a stock rooted ROM.
Any help would be smashing!
That happens to me with my samsung gt-s5560 witch is a rather crappy phone. I need to manually tell the phone to connect with my car, even if it's paired and set to auto permit.
On my SGS with ICS EliteRom 1.2, however, it works perfectly. Connects automatically whenever i have bluetooth on (either if it was on before being in range or if i connect while i'm in range).
Bluetooth works as handsfree for calls - from the car interface the phone allows to take and place calls, browse through recent and lost calls, phonebook (it even downloads it) and it even streams music to my car's speakers (using Google Music) with no additional configs.
It connects rather fast, like 3 or 4 seconds after turning BT on.
Exactly Kayn and that is why I can't understand why the stock room doesn't do this and more to the point why nobody has raised this issue before. I like the stock ROM. I genuinely do. I find it intuitive. So why can't it automatically connect to my car stereo when Bluetooth is switched on. This custom ROM has no problem doing it. I simply switch on Bluetooth and boom it connects. I need that functionality on the stock ROM if possible
Im going to flash the newest value pack tomorrow and see if that helps but I doubt it will. I genuinely believe this is an issue with the stock ROM. The only thing that might have caused it if the stock ROM does support it, is if I've removed something using TiBa but I very much doubt it. I didn't touch any core system components.
Haven't flashed the latest value pack but I've worked out how to make it work. Ridiculous on Samsungs part and I think they need to get their heads out of their arses and sort it.
If I activate Bluetooth before I turn on my car stereo, then it picks it up perfectly.
So if I turn on my car stereo and then switch on bluetooth... doesn't work.
If I turn on bluetooth then switch on my car stereo... works fine.
Absolute joke on Samsungs part that this glitch is the only way I can get it to work. I'll keep investigating and I'll eventually write a guide to help people with it.

Makes us both but i can't really cope with the battery drainage when the phone's plugged during several hours (i use loads of battery intensive like torrent-downloading apps, radio streaming, etc and the phone needs to be plugged) so i had to make the change for some custom non-samsung based rom.
Samsung has loads of this minor quirks that make the experience that much less enjoyable. I only found solution in custom roms (very thankful to the devs for that!). Don't think they ever really cared about solving some under-the-hood issues (they did add some new features though) and even went as far as to pull the "flawed by design" apple-move.
I would still tell you to give a shot at customs, some out there are really good, but i can understand not wanting to change something we really like.
Good luck with that mate!
It's not that I don't like custom ROMs, I love custom ROMs but unfortunately, none of them have the Samsung Browser and let's be honest, everyone knows the best Android browser is the stock Samsung one. The browser that came with MIUI was very choppy and laggy.
I get decent battery life out of my stock ROM, but if I had to leave BT on permanently this would go down a lot! I suppose i just need to remember that as I get into my car, turn on BT and it'll connect first time.
Just crap that other Custom ROMs can search on enable and connect. Worst still, I can't believe we're the only ones who have this issue.
I never thought samsung browser was something that good, i hardly even see it being mentioned. I never really used it much since i have not used sammy's roms since ginger bread came out, but have you tried opera mobile? This is, by far, the best browser I've used, it's not even fair to compare - it's on a totally different league. I was actually losing hope of decent browsing (tried just about anything) on Android until i came across opera. Needs to be the mobile and not the mini. Faith in Android browsing restored
if you haven't, give it a shot, free on market. If that's the main reason not to use a custom rom, you may be changing your mind soon

I am having just the opposite issue, I have a bluetooth headset that auto connects every time it's in range if I want it to or not, I'm running a stock rooted room kitkat on an old Nexus 7

Android Auto and the Nexus 6.

I thought it may be interesting to have a thread where Nexus 6 users with the supporting hardware systems could post: Tips, How to's, experience, etc. about the Android Auto APK and Nexus 6 devices. Please feel free to enlighten all who enter. :good:
Android auto is just a remote display and sound, isn't it? I don't find it particularly interesting since it *depends* on the phone for the "android" aspect. It is a much better option to install an Android HU in the car, then it isn't functionally dependent on the phone.
Not sure if you're asking or telling.

It is a mobile application for using your phone in a car. It displays on the cars touch screen and is controlled by voice commands. It only uses the bluetooth stack for phone calls, all other sound and video comes from the phones usb port. This equates to better audio and clear, crisp video. By the way, it only works on the latest Android HU.
i've been using it with my Pioneer 4100-NEX, it works quite well. i wish you could swipe away cards and have more notifications push though (ie, sms and hangouts come through, but not facebook messenger)
all in all i'm pretty happy with it, it's fast, simple, pretty and i've been pleasantly surprised with how responsive the resistive screen on the HU is.

HU does *not* require android to work with android auto.
If you want to try out Android Auto you can sign up for the beta of the app called AutoMate. First you'll need to join the beta group in Google+. Next you'll have to agree to be a beta tester with google play. Then you'll finally be able to download the app. I have been using the app for a couple of days now and I personally think that it is great. Its just like Android Auto, at least from what i've seen in all of the android auto demos. I have a pretty good car mount that can fit the nexus 6 so when I took a 4 hour trip this weekend everything worked flawlessly. The best part is that you've already got a giant 6 inch capacitive screen, why not use it instead of paying at least $800 for the cheap resistive screen version of the pioneer head units.
I have a pretty interesting issue where my Android Wear watch (Moto 360) is being CONSTANTLY pinged by my Nexus 6 while plugged into Android Auto. For the life of me, I can't figure out why. Maps is the only app I use regularly in Android Auto and I have it muted on Android Wear...yet, it's draining my Moto 360 battery QUICKLY every time I plug in. It's the strangest thing. I've had to start putting my 360 into Airplane mode to avoid problems while driving. As soon as I unplug the Nexus from my Android Auto HU, I then have to reconnect my 360 in the Android Wear app...or else it won't reconnect and continues to drain battery.
Seriously the weirdest thing.
yeah I have the pioneer 4100nex and originally was using a Moto G and it works great and then I preorderd the ATT galaxy S6 Edge and received it on tuesday, well the S6 edge doesn't work with the Android Auto, so I returned it and just bought google play edition Nexus 6 64gb, and works perfect, I really like the google navigation, reads texts and you can voice reply to the texts,you can play your google music, I`m very happy with it.:good:
That is not the purpose of this thread.

I like to believe we all know how to use our phones hands free in a car and need no special app to do that. That's the way most of us have been doing it for the past six years or so since the smartphones came out. A simple bluetooth radio used to give you all you needed paired with your phones screen. But now it's much easier to get into your car, plug your device into your hidden USB port and let it charge with screen off and have a heads up display on your radios big screen while the audio is streamed through USB and the only thing using the bluetooth stack is the phone part of the phone. Sound quality is vastly improved and everything runs so much smoother. Plus the steering wheel controls for answering calls, activating OK google and other voice related options allows you to keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel.

First if your car already has Bluetooth like mine then you still have all of the same controls as the actual android auto head units. Also just like on my phone it's not like you can just say OK Google with the music playing but if the music isn't at least I can just say OK Google even with the screen off as well and will get a response. More that likely a person will still end up looking at the device or take their hands off of the wheel when giving a command. I mean come on, Google now works but everyone knows that it's still not perfect yet. Even on my phone I still have to type out what I'm saying even if I'm annunciating perfectly just FYI... Bluetooth audio has also vastly improved over the years. I would argue that the average person would not even notice the difference between Bluetooth audio and being playing directly over USB. Also don't say that it runs 'so much smoother' because most of us have seen the videos and they are still laggy and still not as responsive as our phone themselves. I was simply giving an option to people who wanted to try out android auto without having to buy a crappy resistive screen head unit unless you wanted to shell out over $1000 for one. Also is not a heads up display... A heads up display would be something out in the area of where the driver will be looking out of the windshield as to not having to take their eyes off of the road ahead.
Please.

Please try and understand what I started this thread for. It is for those of us who are using Android Auto with a supporting head unit. Just like back a few months ago, I was using the sync system in my car. I have never had any issues with my voice to text, every once in a while a word would be incorrect, but the more you use it in a quite environment the better your results get. My text messaging reads back my response before it sends and I can either allow it to send or say the message again. I have not had to touch my phone in a car for five years and don't plan on doing anything like that today even with the radios display. The idea of hands free is exactly that, Hands Free. If you don't have the tech to support and help contribute to developing apps that help alleviate the use of hands in the car, this is not the forum thread for you. I don't know what music application you prefer, but the ones I use I pay a premium for because they offer me higher bandwidth and truer sound. And you can immediately here the difference between bluetooth and wired. It's been rumored already that Bluetooth is soon to become extinct and it seems that is the way mobile tech is rolling. BTW, HU the way I was using it my Head Unit not heads up.
The good part is.....

That would be the ideal, but very few cars come with a built in cellular connection, I know they are available but this is the inexpensive way to go. What I like the most about it is the ability to put the phone in my center compartment where the USB outlet is hidden, shut the compartment while the phone is charging and still have access to all of my phones functionality straight from the steering wheel. It's wonderful not to have to look at a screen, and if I do glance at the screen to see a turn that might be coming up or what song is playing on a stream, it is big and clear and takes not even a second to see. Luckily, the Navigation in google maps is pretty trustworthy and gives voice commands with plenty of time to spare so it's rare to even have to look at the Map when moving. My next car will have built in cellular service, it was just still to expensive four years ago when I bought my car and my service provider did not have a system in place for plugging in their tech. They do now but I won't be in the market for another car for at least another year. The thing that got me into having a Android Auto supporting HU is my text messaging application and the sync system, would not play nice together anymore because of changes in Lollipop from kit kat. Sync kept crashing the bluetooth sharing feature anytime I received a text. And since I was using that tech for the past four years, there was no way I was going back to having to touch a screen or try and type a text in the car. The developers I work with tried many fixes to see if we could alleviate the problem, but every thing we tried failed. The problem was immediately remedied with the new HU. Now I'm trying to find others that use the same tech, so we can share our experiences and any other useful features we find or help each other with certain problems one might experience. That is what this thread is about. If you have a Android Auto compatible HU and a Nexus device, this is a place to share.

Fast ROM recommendations?

Hello everyone,
I have an old HTC desire 510 running stock 4.4.2 version 1.19.661.4. I am having some car issues, have an ODB scanner plugged into my car and using Torque Pro on my phone to connect to it through WiFi. This phone will always remain in my car, i will use it to monitor my car (speed, fuel usage etc). It will be running in real time. But i have been noticing some lag when the app is reading the information so i was wondering what ROM would be the best to use in this situation where i will only be using one app on my phone. Don't need to use any other app, not even messaging or email. I need a heavily debloated ROM I guess? 32bit? 64 bit? Maybe a custom kernel too? I don't mind rooting.
Any suggestions?

I actually gave my Desire to my sister, but when I did use it I really liked Cyanogenmod on it. The cameras don't work but it sounds like what you're using it for doesn't require any cameras. I'd go with CM 11 because 12.1 has a wifi bug so it'd restart everytime you loose your connection to the network (So everytime you turn off the car ). Cyanogenmod is nice and lightweight, and you can customize it to your liking.
As for the kernel, I didn't really experiment a lot there so I can't help much.
Btw you can't just choose a 32 or 64 bit OS, it has to be compatible with the phone. The International version is 64 bit, and you need a 64 bit os with that, the US version is 32 bit, and you need a 32 bit os with that.
Revmod ROM with pattiboii's kernel is what i'm currently messing around on. TWRP for recovery is very useful on this phone. Also linux on this computer made fastboot 100x easier than on windows.
Most people use these devices for wifi and mp3, basically an ipod. And Revmod has viper4audio GLITCHY with DOLBY bass boost, but working somewhat with headset, havn't had a chance to bluetooth with it much, but will in a week or so after i have my headset.
So, i've decided i'll get viper4audio working on a kernel, notcwmod. Also, revmod gives me about 800ish MB of storage after gapps and everything, so it's a great one to build off of. . . wish i had a source, for the ROM, but i do for a couple kernels
Oh well though, i'll figure it out, and probably in a month or two you'll see a finished ROM on here, but can't test service, as this one doesn't have service.
