I seem to be having the same issues with the battery and SMS messages. However, I know I don't have the expertise to fix those problems, but I am desperately trying to find a cable USB driver for this device. I've been searching for days! Can any one help with this?

USB explanation

Hello Ikar...What I mean is the phone has the capability to use as a modem connection for my Laptop. When I plug the phone in with Modem Link enabled, Windows does realize a connection has been made. However, it does not find a suitable driver to interact or talk to the device. I have tried to use the drivers for the HTC P3300, but with no success. This device is very confusing it has the characteristics of the P3300 but does it not understand the driver software for it.

Thanks!

a REAL copy

Our ICOOL W800 is considered a real copy of DOPOD P800W

http://www.kosarit.com/other-phone/...ed-mobile-phone-brand-impersonation-show.html

Then i now testig :confused: a ROM for ARTEMIS

At first i clean the ROM, but's how format it?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jjae6:
No, only external case is a similiar copy.

I think W800 is based on ETEN M600 + hardware. (Eten M600+ rom files are equal )

And furthermore, I think that may have made or distributed by a Chinese company called CECT, but its is only an assumption.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jjae6:

faulty pda?

Hello to all,

I have been following this thread for some days because I bought this pda last year. Finaly, last week I received it but I'm sure it is faulty.

First, I cannot syncronize the pda with any pc. I installed active sync but when I connect the pda to the pc nothing happens. I verified the modem link is desactivated.

The GPS doesn't works. I cannot get valid GPS signal. TOMTOM is configured with "other NMEA GPS receiver", baud rate 9600 and to S2410 COM1.

The others problems are the ones reported by the users wrote here - receiving SMS, the radio and soft boot.

Can you please help me? I think I tried everything to solve the problems reported by me but anything works... I even tried to restore to the default settings but it didn't help. WM5 is in english.

Nuso.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jjae6:
I think we should return the phone to the seller now. (Telephone with a lot of problems.) But if you want, you can test it:

1.- Download and Install Activesync with same language in PC (english).

(turn off firewall and turn off Virus detector program)

2.- My application GPS works well with: NMEA - COM4 - 9600 bauds

3.- The phone does not receive sms is a known problem.

Manually workaround: Start - Programs - Phone - Simmmanger - Sms management.

4.- Fm radio: Not working either. (With headsets and without them.)

W800 usb modem driver notes.

How to Recognize a "W800 usb modem driver" in Windows XP, for chinese W800 by jjae6

===============================================================

What is usb modem driver?

Driver program allows for example, to connect your PC or Laptop with cable to the PDA, and through the PDA have an Internet connection via GSM/GPRS. (internet in your PC)

We assume that we have configured correctly W800 (with the data provider's GPRS and have access to the Internet in your explorer W800).

In my case the "modem link" program appears always in a continuous loop, and could not be accessed from XP.

The problem is without these notes, Windows XP does not recognize our PDA because W800 shows some internal software conflicts with modem link. ( W800 is a "perfect system" as everything that is expected of a Chinese clone. ;-) )

Here are the notes.

#1.- Disconnect the cable from the PC to PDA

#2.- In PC windows Xp:

- Activesync 4.5: " File" -"Connection Settings" - Uncheck the box "Allow USB connections"

#3.- In W800:

"Start"- "Settings" - "Connections" - "BEAM" - Uncheck the box "Receive all incoming messages" <--- Important.

#4.- In W800:

Now, execute Modem link- "Start" -"Programs" -"Modem Link"

Select in "Connection" "USB" and press "Activate"

If the system shows error, or an icon waiting appears (continuous loop) , make a W800 reboot and repeat process.

And so the system will remove activesync and other pda memory processes...

#5.- In PC

Well, NOW we connected the cable to the pda and PC....and WindowsXP display a new device detected....

Tell the hardware wizard: no search through the Internet. And we need to indicate the path to the folder where we saved the file "USBMDM.INF".

Windows will install the driver and surely we will reset XP.

If windows XP system reboot, now, deactivate Activesync as #2 point, disconnect and connect W800 cable to PC, and system show

"M600 usb modem"... (Internal Registry "VENDOR_ID and PRODUCT_ID" are identical to G500.) and ........W800 is detected ok.

Excuse my bad english, I am Spanish and my English is self-taught.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] nuso:
jjae6, thanks for the help but the main problems persists.

The GPS still cannot find any satellite. In settings -> System -> GPS, I have COM1 for the GPS program port, COM4 for the GPS hardware port with baud @ 9600, and with or withot the box checked in manage GPS automatically the TOMTOM don't show any satellites.

I still cannot connect PDA with PC, even after configuring PDA and PC as you said. I have windows xp in english, active sync in english and pda in english.

Modem link is not in look, as I see it is activated.

I think I will return it to the seller, because of the problems reported earlier.

What is a pda if I cannot use anything except for receive and make calls?

Muchas gracias por todo,

Nuso.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jengitsme:
I couldn't make the gps work with tomtom, but i installed "mio map 3.2" and it works fine.

Be sure you are not inside a building or something when you try to get satellite signal.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] difylos:

If the battery gets empty and i turn on the phone again it does not get any signal until battery is removed.

Hello jengitsme,

can you please tell me where I can find that program? If possible post the ed2k or torrent link to it.

Can I install it without activesync?

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jjae6:
My Tip for W800 phone:

Workaround: Before making a reset, disconnect the phone manually (turn on flight mode, It shows a cross ), and also remove the battery.

So the next time you boot will signal (recognizes and load the phone)

micro SDhc (high capacity) cards patch for W800.

This patch install new version of "sdmemory.dll" and "sdbus.dll" files.

Modus Operandi: decompress the zip on the PC.

1.- Copy and install sdhc.cab with activesync to W800.

or

2.- In your PC. execute SDHC.bat. (Of course connect the cable to W800)

and make a W800 Reset....

In the next boot, This .dll detects the new high-capacity micro SD cards.

(Tested with a 4gb SDhc)

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jcostantino:
Couple questions about this phone... I'm really on the fence because the price is so cheap (USD$270 w/ 1gig TF) and the next cheapest phone is the Mio A501 for $100 more. I've even found one seller for $250 w/o the 1 gig card - which I wouldn't use anyway.

Is this EDGE or just GPRS? What is the GPRS Class?

About the radios not coming back online, is it only when the battery runs out? I never let my phone run out of battery so it wouldn't really concern me but it would be irritating if it was a frequent thing.

How stable is the OS on this phone? Is it OK for day to day stuff or will I be fighting with it non-stop? Right now my Wizard is really showing its age and it'll lock up randomly in my pocket. It's also had significant problems staying connected to GPRS - it "forgets" the connection and needs to be reset often.

I'm very interested in this phone due to the price and features but to be honest, I'm REALLY leaning towards the Mio. For $100 more, I get quad-band, I know it's EDGE, all the applications in the phone tie into the GPS (SMS and photo are location aware and tag the coordinates), and I know who the Mio company is.

But I'm still interested in this because 100 bucks is still 100 bucks.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mugglesquop:
hi, The Artemis is not EDGE. unsure about the class of GPRS, just Google it, or look on HTC website. The ROM is very stable, and you always have the option of putting a cooked ROM on if you dont like it :) I've personally never had a problem with the radio not connecting, and i've had the phone completely run out (back-up battery too lol). The only downside i have found is the crapness of the camera.

If you want another phone to look at to tempt you, have a look at the HTC Touch Cruise: http://www.htc.com/product/03-product_htctouch_cruise.htm

Good luck!

After a long time, and many hours employees ....

I managed to upgrade the W800 with latest several roms (M600 source based system) from Eten rom original files, with several different results:

#1.- Rom M600 loaded in W800:

Results. No rom update because bootloader show Bad Id hardware, and stop by hardware check, because the w800 system has a modified bootloader of G500.

#2.- Rom M600+ loaded in W800:

Windows mobile boots with some failures, and show a displaced screen.

#3. - Rom G500+ loaded in W800:

Windows mobile boots and works, but does not recognize the microSD card (SDMMC not shown)

#4. Rom G500 (G500_WWE_0110) in W800:

Windows mobile boots and works perfectly

But you see the same mistake: not receiving sms.( The W800 ROM must be identical to G500 installed )

So, I saw the bootloader file shows some G500 texts...

So, NOW, I can say :

The W800 is a internal hardware clone of Eten G500 (If it is not the same)

That's all for now.

Excuse my bad english.

CECT W800 dimensions and weight

Hi,

I wonder what the dimensions of this phone are. Various ebay listings and sites provide all kinds of sizes: from the huge and heavy 119x62x23 mm, 191g to the thin and light 106X58X14MM, 107g.

So what are the real dimensions?

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jjae6:
I think that the Fm radio problem is due to the radio-ROM, radio-ROM independent of windows mobile rom (another rom)

I find a file called "G500_GPS_Firmware_Update.zip", this file update the GPS FM-ROM , I am studying this too.

----------------

Soon, I think, will make a tutorial for backup and restore A ROM W800 phone.

----------------

Well,

I have installed the patch, I see.. this "G500_BT_Audio_patch1_2(2).CAB" install a two files:

1.- A old "rilgsm_6db.dll" (downgrade?)

Internal hex shows a wm511 compilation for M600:

d:\wm511\platform\m600\src\drivers\rilgsm\atcmd.cpp

This file:rilgsm_6db replaces the file rilgsm.dll (wm522 based)

And, I do not know exactly what it does, maybe 6 dB improvement?

and

2.-wavedev_g500_audio2.dll

And, I do not know exactly what it does, wave improvement for bluetooth or speaker sound?

Best Regards.

ActiveSync crashes

Hello there,

I also have a cect w800 and the same problems:

-not receiving sms-es

-no gsm signal after soft reset

-Can't get tomtom to work(I'll try with IGO if i fix the Activesync)

-and activesync crashes if i download activesync from microsoft.com

(can't synchronize my contacts, messages etc). If I install the activesync version that i got from china i can browse the phone but just that. Can't synchronize and if i click on tools(to open the applications) again (crash). When i connect the phone to the pc the loading of ActiveSync appears and stays there in an infinite loop. If i use the china ver i can press ESC and can browse the phone. If the standart ActiveSYnc everything crashes. Please help me at least tell me where the contacts are stored(which folder in the phone) so I can copy them from my pc manually.

Hi people, I’ve been trying to search around the net for info, but it is very hard to come by for this mobile. Sorry if anything I ask/mention has been covered elsewhere, but I promise I’ve looked before posting!

In addition to the soft-reset phone problem I have noticed the following:

The screen seems to chop off around 1-2px from the left hand side of the screen – it looks like the entire display has been shifted a few px to the left. Normally you don’t notice, but occasionally icons etc get chopped off if too close to the side.

The screen stylus re-calibration software hangs WM5, so your forced to reboot.

Anyone know fixes to either prob?

Finally, what connector does the mobile use for it’s data cable? Want to know so I can buy extra cables or things like headphone converters if needed later.

Thanks.

jjae6, looking forward to the info on upgrading - kudos for all your research so far
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jjae6:
Well, here are the indications (in the file .pdf)

Index:

1.	Get "temp.dat" from Eten official Update

2.	RESTORE ROM with Activesync

3.	RESTORE ROM without ActiveSync

4.	DUMP ROM (base BACKUP)

5.	Create your W800 ROM from “imgfs_raw_data.bin”

6.	Extract files (dump files)

7.	Extract "ExtRom custom OEM files"

8.	Modify your ExtRom

9.	Put a bootloader in your life.

DANGER: These indications can leave your phone unusable, and you can have a beautiful brick. cannot take responsibility for a accidental damage....

This information is for chinese Cect W800 system,

and Possibly for the Eten G500 and others Eten source based.

Have the same mistake (fm radio) because it, i think, must be the same ROM.

I think, but I can not verify that, if we do a GPS ROM update should be open the FM radio.

At http://www.trendsmobile.com/main/showsection.asp?SectionID=156&ParentID=140 see file: "GPS Firmware Updated":

"The firmware update improves the FM Radio Tuner quality. Instructions for the update is attached in the zip file."

and file: "Eten G500 FM Tuner"

" FM Tuner which would be bundled in the future ROM upgrades.

As the FM Tuner utilises the TMC (component of the GPS) protocol, best reception is obtained when outdoor.

Copy all the 3 files in the zipped file to a directory in the internal memory. For convenience in lauching the program, create a shortcut in the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder. You will need to insert the stereo wired headset included with the G500 to activate the FM Tuner."

But beware, this is for the G500, and I do not know what results will be released on the W800 firm.......

For the SMS is very simple

You must go to program settings and sim card, he take directly to the sim the parameters to send and received.
