speed of diamond

[holzzelt]

hey guys,

how is the speed of the diamond? i heard from some colleques, that the diamond is kinda slow, e.g. open programs, scrolling, etc takes some time. is this correct? how fast is it compared to the tytn II? i am thinking of switching to the diamond....

will the diamon pro be faster / better then the diamond touch?

After a fortnight of use, I must say that I am NOT impressed by the overall performance.
Not slow, sometimes sluggish, most of the time reasonably adapted.
I am running the original HTC 1.37.406.1 FRE . There are still some memory leaks :mad:

Is is not fast with original roms.

But the cooked roms work very well !

I have tried barely every WWE rom and what my conclusion is that the PANOSHA LIGHT WWE is the fastest rom.

I use Bepe rom and my french Diamond works very well.

I advise you to install a cook rom ;)

I using the recent Europe release from HTC and I've add all the tweaks that I wanted to, damn thing flies tbh I don't have any slow downs but the memory leak is still there atm.

My main gripe is when you switch of threaded sms then you lose audio notifications which is a bitch, live with bitch though so I'll wait till it's fixed.

Boss has the TytnII, I would not swap in a month of Sundays.

OK, so, I can compare with Mio A701 (QVGA, Intel PXA 520MHZ)
- Games - Diamond is little bit faster, especially Call Of Duty mobile is in low graphic absolutelly smooth, in high graphic about 15-20 FPS, absolutelly playable. With a701, low mode about 20-25 FPS, high 12-15 FPS. Not much but OK, if you realize that Xscale has much better support in this game, especially MMX instructions. And there are bad 7201A drivers (CPU of Diamond)

- Video - Relativelly much slower, BUT 1, VGA can "eat" some performance aginst QVGA, 2, It still can smoothly play normal 350 and 600 MB rips. 3, You can expect some performance increases due to optimazation that CorePlayer can make on 7201A CPU (QTv mode, becouse TyTN2 driver mode is just bypass) and what is main, Xscale CPUs have much biggeer support, bacouse much more devices are builted on them, and there were many years of optimalisations.

- Camera - Quality OK, preview there I will compare to P535 Asus, becouse of my a701 was wera slow there! - It is almost the same, maybe little slower, but OK to take pictures. Only thing I miss is Sport mode which disable autobalance and video recording is much faster.

- Design - what can I say? You MUST have it!

- WM6 performance? - Everything is OK, TF 3D, BUT Scrollling speed in Programs folder of WM6 is TERRIBLE. But I think this is just matter of time to speed it up, on a701 it was simmiliar, new ROM after half of the year solved this.

- Display - WOW, NICE, GREAT! Not just VGA resolution but even view angles are just great! uncomperable to a701.

-Battery- OK, 900mAh isnt much, you will recharge it every day, but it is a tax for the size. And 1300 mAh will come.

- Overall: Very good-looking device, with normal performance that will be OK for normal users, good chances to future (better ROMs will come, especially after HTC Pro will be released. (Same CPU.)). Wi-fi, Bluetooth, GPS, mobile phone, VGA video player, Radio, MP3 Player in one small shiny device.
