Using the HTC diamond without a battery

[elwylly]

Hi!

I have a "simple" question. I would like to know if it is possible somehow to use the HTC without a battery, plugged to a power supply. I've tested it but it doesn't work, but I'm not sure if this is possible to change.

Thanks!!

If you can get it powered on (think that may require a battery), you can then connect to a power source (I've done it via usb), and then take out the battery. It will stay on until you unplug the usb cable in my case.

Thanks! That gave me an idea. Maybe I can prepare a connector that is attached directly to the battery connectors. This way I can try to "simulate" a battery.

Cheers mate!

didn't work for me, turned off right when I disconnected the battery. although it still lighted as if it was charging the whole phone was dead
