Good to have you onboard - your repair knowledge may come in very handy. On some of the different HTC sub Forums here, there are Wikis with how to dissassemble and repair phones. Since our Clones are most likely slightly different from the standard HTC Jade phone, your experience may lead to further knowledge along that line.

In several other threads here in the Jade sub Forums, other Clone owners have asked about replacing digitizers, GPS attennas and so forth. You might be able to take the lead on those questions if you're willing to experiment.

Slightly off topic - my brother bought a Blackstone Clone after seeing mine. Unfortunately his Clone did not come with a stand-alone charger which means the phone is the charger. We looked on eBay but as far as I can tell the Blackstone Cradle's charging posts are off about the width of its points. In the attached picture, you can see that contact points are in the utmost corner.

The Blackstone Clone's battery contact points would be to the left of the charger posts - we believe. I was wondering if a small bar could be placed between the points to make contact and allow the charging current to the battery. It would have to be a small sliver and heat resistant. Do you think something could be done and if so what would you recommend?

I'm waiting for my clone Touch 3G.

I'm in Canada.

I'm interested in topics such as Igo8/Amigo with the Touch3G, skin DimkaVert.

When I said, Tell us a little about yourself, I had hoped for more than a one-liner.;) Still, welcome aboard!

Wow, two Canadians in one day! I just answered a post in another xda Forum about a Canadian who is on Fido.

Take a look at this iGO8 thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=587989

iGO8 works on our Jade Clones. I should be done posting the game plan by Monday and can entertain questions there.

I should add that there were some major announcements on Wednesday 11/25 about the DimkaVert skin. D8389 (Dimka) has announced that he will no longer be developing the original skin. Instead he will make limited (Potentially untested) changes to the diMkaWertVRV base which may or may not flow through into the full diMkaWertVRV version at WertVRV's discretion. Megaduck posted that he will continue to work on his version with Specter. See:

http://www.igo8mods.com/dimka.htm

I don't use this skin as I prefer Gurjon 6p but I try to keep up on all things iGO8.

I don't even know if my clone will arrive before Xmas (sad).

I have Amigo on Magellan 3225.

I will spend more time on it when Igo9 arrive or new map of US/Canada arrive with more lane-guiding (right now, it's only in 3-4 MAJOR cities in Canada).

EQU5238, My Clone

Attached are the specs offered when I bought the clone. With the exception of flash in camera, the rest of the features were present. Added 8G micro memory card

Using:

Windows Mobile 6.1

SPB Shell 3

Throttle Lock

SPB Pocket Plus

SPB Phone Suite

Resco Keyboard

Adobe Reader

Panoramic Calc Pro

mGpsCmd

Google Maps

Google Navigator

Opera Mini

Skype

Windows Live

Office Mobile

SK Tools

PHM Registry Editor

Everything workin OK except for Battery Level Icon in menubar (controled by SPB Pocket Plus) which does not appear after shutdown.
[Touch 3G General] ronp76:
Hmmm, I don't think I've seen a Jade Clone called a EQU5238 before. I looked at your PDF and EQU5238 comes up searchable on the net. You've got a lot of extra software loaded on yours by the vendor. I like many of the SB titles as well as SK Tools and PHM Registry Editor.

Your SPB Shell program probably gives your Clone more of the TouchFlo 3D that many users buy their Clones for. I liked mine seeing that blue background with the analog clock and was disappointed that that theme was not automatically present.

Looks like you have yours tricked-out nicely!
[Touch 3G General] ronp76:
Sintoo, how come so late? I've heard about delivery via a slow boat from China but Christmas seems really slow being almost 30 days away. Why the delay?
[Touch 3G General] sintoo:
Oh, because they had to wait for the factory, then package, then shipping and then custom. The custom must have 1000x more packages to check these days, so it will be delayed for sure.

I will be here asking questions about improving the Wifi with an aluminum foil as soon as I receive my Touch3G clone.
[Touch 3G General] stefansjs:
hi guys, im a proud south african owner of a t3232 clone.

got it a few months ago, and its a great phone. i got some major issues though, with random lock-ups and not-so-random lock-ups whenever i

- insert a memory card

- receive file through bluetooth

- sometimes when using wifi

- sometimes when using gprs

- connect to pc via active sync

- connect to pc using flash drive mode

if someone could help with my issue id be very greatfull...i think it could be the ram or rom.. i cant send it back to china to be repaired because shipping would cost me about half the amount the phone cost me....

thanks guys!
[Touch 3G General] ronp76:
Don't know if this will help but I did notice that you said whenever you insert a memory card. While memory cards are hot swappable (meaning that they can changed without shutting down the system), doing so can cause your Jade Clone to react. React means that it can lock-up or demonstrate a reaction to the card being inserted.

If you are like most people, you've probably have installed Programs to the SD card. Windows Mobile will remember the links to directories on the SD card. If you change out or boot up without the same directories being identically the same on the SD card, you will get a reaction.

Likewise one day I had put my Jade Clone in standby and removed the SD card to write a file to it by my PC. When I reinserted the card, the Jade Clone booted up which was unexpected. When the Clone rebooted, I realized I got lucky that the system did not hang or that I did not corrupt the SD card.

Another thing I have noticed with my PC is that ActiveSync runs better under the following conditions:

1. Freshly booted.

2. No fire wall active.

3. No internet connection present.

First, like any system, a fresh system versus a system that might have been in Hibernation or Standy is much better for finding or reacting to new inputs such as an ActiveSync connection.

Second, I have noticed that when Zone Alarm is active as my fire wall, ActiveSync sometimes takes longer to connect. I have found that when I need to sync, it's better to drop ZA's fire wall. Fire walls can block some connection settings necessary by ActiveSync.

Third, if I am going to drop my fire wall, I will not expose my systems to the internet. With an internet connection present, ActiveSync will attempt to act as an internet server which requires incoming and outgoing signals. Most of the time, I will reboot my computer; then, turn off Zone Alarm and turn off my internet connection for the ActiveSync connection.

On those rare occasions where I want to update my Jade Clone via an internet connection via ActiveSync, I will not do steps two and three but will minimize the time the ActiveSync connection is acting as an internet connection.

I've noted that when ActiveSync makes an internet connection it causes a reaction not only on the Vista computer but also my laptop which is the master server for my net. As soon as I connect with the internet present, ActiveSync will generate a warning on the master laptop which detects another system being added to the server.

Other than that, I don't know what might be your problem but suspect it might have some to do with your Clone's radio. Bluetooth, WiFi and GPRS all are part of the radio.

Glad to see you here and maybe someone smarter than me will have seen what you have experienced and can make a recommendation. My recommendation would be to do a Master Clear to clear out your ROM.

BTW i wanted to ask is there a major difference between a Real and clone?

Little bout me :P

Hello guys,

my primary language is Spanish, I'm writing in English from the google translator, so make the best attempt to understand my comments and ideas. I thank the xda developers forum and its members for an understanding and help customize my phone to the maximum.

Since 1 month I have in my possession a Htc touch 3g JADE clone T3232 model.

the phone originally had WM 6.1 installed V03.06 Spanish but it was very unstable. after changing many parameters it was unstable until I changed the rom to wm 6.5 Spanish V03.11. has been great.

Particularly in my opinion the sound of my phone was very low. when amplified all audio files sound better at 100%, but the speaker, not endured 2 days and burned. replaced the speaker by speakers of a LG model with greater output and now it sounds great. disassembling the phone is very simple knowledge anyone without technical and only with a screwdriver can do it.

I installed the following programs on my pda:

Spb mobile shell 3.5 modify

GPS GARMIN

Beeline GPS

TCPMP

SKtools V 4.4.7.7

PHM Editor

Audio notes touch

Skyfire

Thumbcal

Documents to go

Touchpal Keyboard

Fakecall

SpbWireless monitor

Spb Phone Suite

all work great

I still have yet to be resolved. is wake up the phone, with the key that I decide. no lo he logrado, y tampoco he conseguido the info.

I leave attach the pictures of my spb mobile shell 3.5 with 7 screen.

any questions I'm available.

Hello i've a clone of HTC Jade [i received this bad news tonight]. How did you have installed WM 6.5 in your mobile??? Do you have the TouchFLO working???
[Touch 3G General] ronp76:
TouchFlo is enabled on our Clones but you need an app to take full advantage of it. The SPB Shell program mentioned in the previous post is just one example of that type app. The Getting Started Today plug-in demonstrates to you the basic principles of being able to slide and guide a Touch screen. TouchFlo basically consists of a clock on the Home/Today screen, weather and launcher tabs along with the ability to change the ringtone in a dynamic environment (meaning on the fly or go).

You can either decide to buy commercial apps or use xda apps and donate to developers here for their efforts.

Personally, I really don't care about having a weather tab. I watch the news daily and have a good idea how the weather is going to be for a week. While an analog clock appeals to me, I really don't need that either.

The one app I like is iPhoneToday which gives my Clone the iPhone look. I can't begin to tell you the number of people who think I have an iPhone and are jealous. Two other people I know have bought Clones like me and I've pimped them out or changed them to look like mine.
[Touch 3G General] evildeejay:
Thank you so much for istant reply!

I've tried the Iphone Look and is very good! Very very nice but i've some problems for te "link" of the others "desktop". I hope you understand. [some applications are not installed and it's normal that doesn't work but also link like "camera" "wifi" "bluethooth" don't work.

Now i'll try to edit the settings of icons.

What about on the installation of Windows Mobile 6.5? Now i've 6.1. Wich programs did you used to upgrade your phone? thx for reply =)

Hello people

I have had my clone for about three months. I love it, want to know more about flashing and what is what. Dont have much knowledge on programming. I have owned 8125, SDA(Tornado), smt5600. About a year ago i flashed WM 6.1 to SDA. I followed a guide, and really did not understand what was going on. I flashed it successfully, and is now my back up phone.

I want to flash 6.5 to my clone but dont want to brick it, and really it works fine right now. The only problem i have is taking vid. I can only take 8sec of vid and the phone locks up. Could use some help there.

Anyway hi to everyone and glad to be apart of this group!!
[Touch 3G General] ronp76:
I think you are on the right track to using iPhoneToday. Basically after installing iPhoneToday, you will see the developer's generic icons with some links that work and some that do not.

This is a very important point and one that applies to ROMs: these links are GENERIC; our Jade Clones have differences. Just as a brake pedal is common or generic to most cars, their location will vary. With a Jade Clone, you have to use the right link or ROM, otherwise it won't work.

While some of the icon links will work, some icons do not have a program link. A good example of this is FM Radio. You have to click on its Icon and select Edit. Then in the Execute block you click on the shaded area's three periods ( . . . ) which takes you to your device's Programs directory where you should find the appropriate link for the Icon you wish to modify.

Some links or shortcuts do not exist in the Programs directory. Examples of this are Desktop, the Today homescreen, Wi-Fi link and Bluetooth link. In those cases you need to use a program to create shortcuts or links in the Programs directory before those Icons will become useful.

In other cases like Camera, the Execute link points to the wrong location and program. Again this is a GENERIC link which needs to be modified.

If you find an Icon that does not work, you need to modify it.

ROM FLASHING - NOT RECOMMENDED

As for ROMs, I DO NOT recommend flashing ROMs. ROM flashing is tricky. Ideally you should flash the same type ROM from a similar device; in our case this means you should use a ROM from a Jade Clone to the same type device.

I am a fairly intelligent user who fortunately has not bricked one of my various devices. Even I find it hard not only to find the right ROM but also to understand the instructions and I have advanced educational degrees. I would hate to think what other users might encounter with language difficulties trying to do what I find difficult or hard to do. No offense but I write at what is considered at an American high school or college reading level. Just look at how I corrected your reply above to see what our language differences are.

6.1 and 6.5 are very recent. Some Clones bought after October 2009 came with 6.5. If yours came with 6.1, don't be in a hurry or envious.

Envy will lead to you owning a fancy paperweight or brick if you incorrectly flash your device.

Entiendes?

Greetings

Greetings from Slovakia,

Have a HTC T3232 clone from fastcardtech dot com (China).

CPU: Marvell 624 MHz (the phone is reallly fast...)

Installed WM 6.5.

Installed IGO 8.3 without any problems.

Only have problem with wifi connection, because the wifi works only in open mode or shared mode with WEP encoding. WPA is not possible....

P.S.

Thanks, ronp76 for your informations on this forum....

Hello Folks

I too have a clone, got it about a month ago although I didn't know what I was buying, but I liked the look and feel of it as I had a chance to play with it before I bought it. It has replaced my trusty Lobster 700tv (HTC Monet) running WM5. Quite pleased with it so far and have tried out some of the apps both from here and other sites.

My GPS does start with Google maps, but takes an age to get a fix, the HTC manual mentions an app that remembers sat position detail which is supposed to speed this up has anybody tried it?

I'm keen to try the iphone today app next.

Thanks for such a great site and ronp76 for all your help and info.

Here I am

I am proud owner of the Clone too.

First one I received before 2 months but with a broken display, sent it back and finally, 2 wks ago received second one and now everything seems to be OK.

Small recap:

QUALCOMM processor at 528Mhz

RAM 256 MB

FLASH 512 MB

WiFi works quite well

GPS surprisingly too

I have changed TF2D into HTC black and installed already

- iGo 8.3.2 - works perfectly

- Skype

- G-Alarm

- Esmertec JbedJAVA + few dictionaries

- GPS Toggle

- sntcl M2DC

- TotalCommender

- Sprite BackUp

- MyMobiler

- Quick Menu

Faced only one challenge so far - it was impossible to synchronize Outlook 2007 through Active Sync. But later on have installed Chapura Pocket Mirror and all data went through. Now it works even without it, so don't ask me why or how :).

Would like to change lenght of vibration and original ringing/warning but must study more.

Or if you have any easy guidance, I will appreciate it.

Greetings Gentlemen,

Got an HTC T3232 Clone yesterday from eBay Italy and so far so good, even though the CD that came in the box is of an HTC Diamond and the charger stopped working after 2 hours.

I'm an economy student and have no expertise whatsoever in programming, so you can only imagine how happy I am about finding your wonderful forum!

I was thinking of installing SpaceJade's WM 6.5 ROM, you think it works fine on cloned Jades or it supposed to be installed only on original phones?

Gostaria de saber como ativar o GPS dele, pois já tentei de todas as formas ativá-lo, mas não consigo.

outra coisa que eu gostaria era de saber se nosso celular suporta o Windows Mobile 6.5.

Se suporta gostaria, isso se fosse possível, de que alguém postasse para mim uma ROM do WM 6.5, e me explicasse como fazer o Flash, pois já pesquisei em vários lugares e não achei nada bem explicado.

Bom, pessoal, desde já agradeço, e me desculpe se eu fiz algo de errado.

Another thing I wanted was to know if our phone supports Windows Mobile 6.5.

If I would support, if it were possible that someone post me a ROM of WM 6.5, and explain to me how to Flash, because I researched several places and found nothing explained.

Wow, five new Clone owners today

If I did my math right, five new Jade Clone owners were added to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4945972&postcount=2 which is Post #2 of this thread. Hopefully everyone is reading each other's posts and will chip in to help answer each other's posts. I am far from being the expert here.

By the way (BTW), I've noticed that several of our Jade Clone owners do not have a Sig which is short for a Signature tagline. Mine reads:

WM 6.5 HTC T3232 (clone)

running iGO8

Reason for a Sig

A Sig helps other xda Forum members identify what type device (smartphone) you have and in my case that my device has Windows Mobile 6.5 installed. I also included that I have a satellite navigation (satnav) program installed: iGO8

You can edit your Sig which is part of the User CP in the upper left hand corner of menu in brown which is also available at this link: http://xdaforums.com/usercp.php

In essence by supplying this info, I do not have to explain in any reply I make what my device and its WM are.

I highly recommend that all of us use a Sig. That way if you see a Clone owner, you can come back to this thread and Post #2 if you need to refresh yourself about a fellow Clone.

[Touch 3G General] ronp76:
The need for Backups

You have a couple of problems. The first is, yes your English is bad. Run-on sentences, no punctuation, no capitilization and incomplete thoughts make your post hard to read. If I was to make a post like this on a German forum I follow, I would go to Google Translation, type in a paragraph like this one, copy the translation and then paste it in a post. That way my fellow German users might be able to read and understand what I am trying to say.

Second, no one is clairvoyant and know what registry hacks you made.

Whenever I make a change to my Clone, I make detailed notes that I post as an email to myself. I copy and paste a copy of the URL where I found the change I am going to make, make sure I copy enough pertinent information that I should not have to go back to that URL and then make a backup of my Clone using Sprite Backup.

Backups are necessary whenever a change is made to your system. If you make an error and can't figure out what you did wrong or don't like a change and can't undo it, backups can take your device back to good state where you know it worked well.

Unless you can figure out what you did wrong, you might have to a Mass Clear or hard reset to bring your Clone back to a working state.

THE LESSON FOR ALL

Making registry hacks is not for the feint of heart or those who do not know how to make or recover from them. Like the entire device, the Clone's radio is flashable meaning various changes can be made to it to improve its performance.

The downside is the wrong registry hack or flash can also disable your device. When you make changes to your registry, most registry programs allow you to save a backup of your registry values prior to the change.

Prior to doing a registry hack, you need to use a program like Sprite or SPB Backup to backup your device. Then you need to use the registry program's backup feature to save a copy of the values prior to the change.

Fail to do these things - you could be looking at your device and wondering why it's not working.
