WiFi: it works only standing in front of AP. It doesn't find any other WiFi AP neighborhood

GPS: it find 6 satellites only, with a weak signal, while in my area we have 12 satellites. Often, almost every 10 minutes, TomTom hangs up without any reason and restart when it gets good data from GPS

GSM: My phone carrier is Vodafone Italy, and this smartphone is not able to maintain a phone talk stable for more than 20 seconds, then it loses the signal. Other times, if I leave it on the desk, it doesn't find the GSM connection. Most of the time it doesn't show any valid GSM signal.

I tried the antenna tip, no success, I made the signal worst.

I'm desperate.

Hi!

I'm waiting to receive my T3238 clone from eBay. Of course it comes with 6.1, but I see some people has put the WM 6.5 ROM of the T4242 to their T3238 and I suppose it works better than 6.1 (if I'm wrong, correct me)

Should I put it to my t3238 because it's a "necesary" upgrade or should I wait?

If I decide to upgrade it, how can I put it in spanish?

Thank you so much ;)
[Touch 3G General] stefansjs:
well, personally i like wm6.1 better..

its more user friendly. not as finger friendly, but i use spb mobile shell, so i dont really care about that. the real factor why i switched back to 6.1 is that 6.5 isnt as quick to react as 6.1, its a bit sluggish...

i also found that certain appz has a few bugs on 6.5.

anyway thats just my opinion, so i would wait a year or two for wm7 to arrive, then maybe flash that

Hello guys!

Well, I am starting to believe that I wont be able to do it... well, got myself an SD adapter and formatted the microSD in Windows, using the default formatting tool (acessible via Windows Explorer) in the disk with FAT16, using amaly's ROM and PDAVIET Touch 3G ROM found in this forum... still, nothing happened. Then, formatted it through "gparted", in my Ubuntu partition, and still, nothing happened. In every case, the "smart.upr" file is the only one inside the SD, laying at the root of the "folderless" partition. Also, I have waited 5 minutes each time, and the progress bar did not change at all.

The SD I am using is the one that came with the cell phone when I bought it, a 2GB one which has no brand. I have a Kingston 8GB SD, but cant use it in my PC right now: looks like my SD-PC adapter doesn't support it. So, looks like I am stuck with 6.1 for now.

Thanks for your help guys. I will let you know if I get it working later.

Hi,

i had the same problems too and read in chinese forums, they suggest using a small sd-card (like a 512 Mb). I dont know if it works with a smaller card. I switched to usb-flash which worked perfectly and is very fast.

Try it with the TOUCHRUU Tool which is posted somewhere in this thread. But it is very complicated to get it working with windows vista (you need special "VISTARUU" drivers), so its best you flash with xp.
[Touch 3G General] ms9:
same here.. i recently tried 6.5 for 3 days and just switched back to 6.1. some apps were buggy. no improvement on wifi or gps.. actually my wifi took a dip. with 6.5 i couldn't pick 1 or 2 neighboring APs that i normally do. after going back to 6.1 they APs showed up. strange..

6.5 does have a nice new look and the finger scroll is a bit more responsive, but still snatches a bit.. the finger improvement isn't as good as an iphone and even spb mobile responds better (at least to me it seems to).. none the less, still an improvement from 6.1..

VistaRUU Driver

Hi,

here is the attached Vista RUU driver. You need this to flash with Vista.

Install this driver instead of the USB driver from Microsoft.

For me it worked to first install the "Windows Mobile Device Center" from MS (but first try it without it)

Plug in the Phone.

Then in the Control Panel, System Point to the (generic Microsoft) USB Driver from the Mobile Device. Update the driver manually with the VistaRUU Driver. Then flashing worked for me.

You NEED to install the patch and I'm sure it will solve your problems.

However before doing this, be sure that you uninstall everything related to Toucflo 2d and restart your phone.

I have tried various optons, but I am happy at last- my phone now work and look like the real Mc Coy. :):):)

I have changed back to WM6.1, and loaded the touch flo as per post #217. With WM6.5, I didn't feel like I had control, the screen fely like it was to sensitive, and it was hard to move down the programs without accidetly opening a few programs I didn't want to.

My GPS allso didn't work, and the GPS antenna fix in post #224 gave me tho courage to open my phone. This post show bending out the connection pins for better contact, but when I opened my phone up, it was clear the the copper plate where the GPS antenna pins were suppose to connect on to was loose. Sorry I didn't take a photo, but I just glued the plate back with double sided tape, and wella - GPS works. Quuite well I might add. The double sided tape they used were not very effective and way to small to hold plate in position.

Good to see you are happy with your phone.

I have a question regarding your GPS. Did it work at all before you fixed the loose contact or the fix just improved sensitivity? Mine works, but it takes long time to lock. I am wondering if it is worth trouble with opening the phone.

I also noticed that the signal quality greatly depends on whether the device is left alone or sits in my hand. In the latter case the signal drops a lot. Same happens with BT pairing with my handsfree in the car if I keep the phone in the pocket.

Other than that the phone is good enough for the clone.
