Do let us know how good it is ok Baronic

The maps can be downloaded, yes but the software itself (MapKing) need to be purchased first.

Btw Baronic, the extended battery, it comes with an additional battery cover?Cant you use back the original cover? It seems the camera lens is a bit wider on the extra battery cover. Any idea any place we can get it in Malaysia?

Ahh..Its not i don't wanna join. When i was here, i saw your bulk and its closed already. Dang.!!

Well, lets just wait and see how it goes. My current battery life is lasting me roughly about 2 days. If the extended battery could potentially last me around 4 - 5, i will be a happy man

Whats the latest ROM for the Diamond? Is it necessary to have the latest for the Diamond? And do they charge you if you wanted to send it for flashing firmware?


Where is the GPS setting?Cant seem to locate it in MapKing though.

MapKing 2007. I cant seem to get the setting options though. The main screen only have GPS, Maps, Search etc. Tried clicking everywhere but cant seem to find the option.

Ok, my bad on that part

Anyway, i still cant seem to get the Tools > GPS/Track section. I tried clicking everywhere but cant seem to find the Tools part. I have a Setting option but still cant trace the part where i can set my GPS port

Btw, was at LYP yesterday and saw they are selling the same TD back cover that comes together with the Extended Battery. Never asked the price though and not sure whether they are selling the Extended Battery or not.

Thanks bro. At last i got the setting already. Its showing COM4 "GPS Found!" status. Finally its working. Thanks alot again.

Pardon me for not noticing the Toolbar at the bottom of the map. LOL...!

Well, i didnt see any Extended Battery though but for sure have seen the battery cover at LYP. Need to check out whether they are selling the Extended Battery or not. Hopefully its not going too expensive.

So, your extended battery is from SIS?

Other brands are fine as well except Cameron SIno?

Wow, it must have been a must buy product for the TD. Seems like the extended battery is really worth the money.

I think you are refering to the Diamond Extended Battery. Try reading a few post back. Baronic is using this battery and is experiencing way better battery life (around 50% IIRC) compared to the original price. Probably a good buy if you need the extra battery life.

Ah...Finally i tested the GPS on the TD and its working real well

Just wondering here, what connection does the GPS uses? 3G? Cause i have NoData disabling every single 3G connection available though. Cause i wonder am i getting charged for using the GPS

Wow...Thats nice. I am starting to like using GPS here. But it took kinda long time for it to load though. I started the GPS on my MapKing2007, took roughly about 1 - 5mins for the GPS to be fully loaded before its showing where i am though.

Regarding the maps, i should constantly update it via website right? Its not automatically updated right?

AFAIK, the surface is not like the original cover as the pictures posted by Baronic before. It does feel kinda like rubbery. Well, at the very least it is not shinny though.

My TD is starting to have some lagging + bad memory leak issues lately. I kinda need to restart the phone every 2 days to prevent the memory from growing over 65%. Is there any newer ROMs out there except 1.93 that would solve this issue?

Well, shinny surface is nice to look at but kinda hard to take care though especially the back shinny surface of the TD is not the smooth type. Extra precaution is needed, not to mention, to replace the original back cover cost RM80 the last time i ask though.

Well, for me, i would not risk myself getting AP set (if i can find any) for the TD. I would rather pay a little bit more to get the SIS warranty because i do not want to risk it in case anything goes wrong especially with the touch screen though. Well, its still personal preference though

Mine could barely withstand 1 day with the original battery. I just keep charging the phone whenever i could find a power port cause i could not live without a phone

Well, maybe i am calling too much

I am on 1.93 ROM but not sure whats the radio ROM though. I just need to keep recharging the phone everyday.

I have this problem as well. No matter how i take it or set the picture, its still pixelated.

If i wanted to flash the firmware at my TD, can i send it to any HTC shops without getting charged? How long does it normally take to do that? Mine is original SIS version.

LOL....Never knew SIS is like that.

Anyway, sorry for asking this one too many time but what is Hard SPL, Radio ROM etc?

What benefit do they give you? If they can solve the headache i am having now with the TD, i wont mind paying to get those.

And a few more questions.

I am looking to transfer some Java files (games) into my TD. How do i install those? Do i need some Java application on the TD? I tried copying the JAR files via Microsoft SYNC but it seems that it wont transfer. Weird...

Besides that, had anyone have trouble with the Calender before? Originally, it is always showing by day, meaning, there will be a list of TODO's for the day when you click on Calender. However, i already set the Calender to show it by Month, meaning will always display the days of the month (like a normal hp). When i click on calender, you will see a glimpse it showing in months before switching over to the day format again. Cant seem to get it to show month by default.
