system tray

i've installed iphone today but i cannot remove the system tray from the bottom of screen. i have searched and tried everything but no luck. did you need to remove it from your homescreen
[Touch 3G General] ronp76:
If I remember correctly, somewhere in the iPhoneToday's thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=508429), removing the Taskbar is discussed. I found it much easier to display iPhoneToday full-screen as per what I originally wrote:

The second option, which I recommend highly, is to copy iPhoneToday's LNK file from WM Programs to Windows StartUp directory. Reboot your Clone and now iPhoneToday boots at startup with the icons have better spacing. I recommend leaving the bottom row empty so you use that space for sliding and gliding ala the iPhone.

While I like and use iPhoneToday, I am not a master of it - I have it tweaked to what I like as described in the iPhoneToday Program Recommendation which is Post #6 of this thread. My avatar is a picture of my homescreen and appears next to my name in each post. I only get smart enough to be dangerous with each app I recommend here but throw caution to the wind when I install programs to my Clone. Above all else, I will do no harm to my Clone.

I recommend all of you to do the same. If I recommend something here, it's because I use it and know it is safe as long as you don't do something stupid with it. Operator error cannot be accounted for by anybody but yourself!

If you want to get rid of the Taskbar, you will need to visit the developer's thread.

better left wondows mobile 6.1 for the moment? Excuse me for bad English
[Touch 3G General] ronp76:
If I understand your question correctly, the jury is still out on whether people are migrating or changing from WM 6.1 to 6.5. 6.1 was announced officially on April 1, 2008. 6.5 was released to manufacturers on May 11, 2009 with consumers seeing smartphones with it during October 2009.

In essence, slightly more than one year has lapsed since 6.1 came out and 6.5's arrival. Microsoft announced that 6.5 was a minor improvement over 6.1 and being more finger friendly. WM 7 will supposedly be released to testers in November 2009 for release during 1st quarter 2010 but which will likely slip to a later date. Which one is better?

Well, that depends. Because 6.1 has been around a little bit longer, there are are more apps for it and it is considered a bit more stable than 6.5. 6.5 though is considered more robust because it utilizes more smartphone features. However, with the right app 6.1 can duplicate many of 6.5's features.

But, you bring up a good point that the average Jade Clone needs to consider - should I change ROMs to get the latest and greatest?

My simple answer is NO. Be patient and wait. ROM development for Clones is slow at best. Even the 6.5 ROMs that are out there do not fully implement all the features seen on other HTC phones.

Then, there are differences in system hardware and registry locations that make the average cooked, which means a user-developed, ROM incompatible with our Jade Clones.

My recommendation again is to be patient; stick with a ROM that was built for our system and wait until good apps appear that will be compatible with advancing the features of our Jade Clones.

Easy Today Launcher - Today screen plug-in

Easy Today Launcher is a Today plug-in lets you add shortcuts to your favorite applications on the Today screen. It is more of a traditional Today plug-in that is static or not controlled by a finger-friendly scroll. It will allow you to use other traditional Today plug-ins like the date, time and even GPSToggle.

After install soft-reset your device:

Go to Start > Settings > Today > Items > Select Easy Today Launcher > options > add/ remove the items

I'd like to thank

ronp76

for creating this thread.

ronp76:

Could you give a short instruction on the first software to install when I will get my T3238 please ?

I would think the first thing is to try to call someone, because after all, it's a phone.

But for that, I would need to change the registry for the frequ. band.

For that, I need a registr editor (PHM if I recall).

But how do I install that program to my T3238 when I just take out the phone from its shipping box ?

Thank you so much.

PS:

The next thing for me to do is to check if the Wifi works.

And then to check if the connection to a computer via a USB cable works.

After that, to check if GPS works.

Then, install SKYFIRE (a browser).

Finally, I start to update ROM, and install other software tools.

PSS: I've heard report that some SIMs do not work well with this phone, even when you set the correct freq.

I also need to setup the basic things like: mail-message number of Fido.
[Touch 3G General] ronp76:
Sintoo,

I wanted to address some of the points you bring up in your post. I believe that if you have had your phone for awhile, you are probably already aware of them. But still, you bring up good points which I think are great features of this phone.

First, as you're probably aware this Jade Clone is a quad-band phone. From what I have read it should work just about anywhere in the world. Last week I travelled just across the American border into Mexico. I travel there infrequently and may need to use my phone with a prepaid SIM card there. Because I remained within five miles of the border, I was able to receive signal strength. I am confident I can use it in another country which is why I was puzzled by by your comment about having to edit the Registry to affect its bands.

If this was a tri-band phone, then yes you might need to add the 850Mhz frequency which seems to be the band left out. Our T3238 Clones have all the frequencies available.

From what I read, some country's cellular mobile companies may need to send an update code to your phone to adjust it to their system. Usually this involves an automatic signal being sent but may also require you to enter a code or two as supplied by your cell company. It should not involve editting the Registry.

WiFi with some Clones is weak I hear. Mine worked right away but I have my home system tweaked to where I know that once I enter the right info for my device to pick up its signal, I should get a WiFi connection. Still, here on xda I have read that some Clones will need to adjust their WiFi for max performance versus power saving. Hopefully, your Clone's WiFi worked straight out of the box.

As far as a USB connection you need the most current version of ActiveSync available. You can go to Microsoft.com and download it there. I would do this before connecting my Jade Clone to my computer. You should do the same.

If you have followed how to install GPSToggle to your Today screen and activated it - meaning you can turn it on - your GPS should work.

As far as your ROM is concerned, don't worry about being so quick to update it. Some users feel that 6.1 is better than 6.5. While I have 6.5, I can tell that it is missing some features from pictures I have seen of 6.1 but that it also was improved. Again, please be patient about flashing your ROM. If done incorrectly, you could brick your phone which means it will be useless. Applications will be developed that will improve the overall performance of our Clones. Until recently, I only had WM 5.1 on my PDA but was not worried about flashing its ROM because the apps available outweighed an update.

SIM cards as long as they are relatively current should be okay within our Clones. I have read that older SIM cards can pose problems. I do not know if older cards lack some information needed by newer smartphones. But, as longer as your phone has a valid IMEI number, that should not be a problem if you buy a SIM card from a reputable vendor.

I am not familiar with FIDO. Maybe someone else can help you with that.

Post #3 Revised

I revised this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4899695&postcount=3 which is Post #3 of this thread. It now has the Top ten things that should be done to your Jade Clone before putting the SIM card in. I have been meaning to do that for a while but have been busy with other things.

I think next week, I will revise Post #2 to be an index of recommended apps and the link to the Post where it appears.

I am gratified that many Jade Clone owners react positively to the recommendations I have made. In particular, I can see that many have installed GPSToggle to turn-on their GPS. The number one problem most HTC users face is that the GPS is not turned on automatically when the smartphone is used. While that is most likely due to saving power or energy, most users become frustrated because most programs either cannot find or turn on the GPS.

I know the importance of my GPS to me and that is why installing GPSToggle is high on my Top Ten List. Please visit that list and see how your Top Ten compares to mine!

I would like to add my experience with customization of my clone baby if I could:

Maybe I have different approach, nonetheless so far so good :)

Ater first few hours of familization I recognized few basic things I wished to change:

-do not like analog clock on background

I have changed it through M2DC to HTC black skin and now I am satisfied

-terrible lenght of vibration

A bit more tricky seemed to me, but with VAlert it is piece of cake, now I have short vibs only and I am happy with it

-awful ringing of alarm clock

Since I did not find easy way how to directly edit it (I do not want to overcook and have my baby bricked ) I have installed GAlarm and now I can be waken up by my favorit song. 4.99 Euro is a nut.

-thread way of messages displaying disappeared after Disable sms threading WM6.1 & enable sms sent notification cab use

Software I have installed

-iGo 8.3.2 w/o any problems and it works better than I have expected

-to have GPS initiated faster ToggleGPS was a must

-to have everything handy with easy approach - QuickMenu is a nice tool

-WiFi works properly so Skype was my choice, didn't try calls, but will know soon (maybe Fring would come into memory)

-I like to have data flow under control, therefore Spb Wireless Monitor has been installed (nice program I must say)

-Sprite Software BackUp is an essential tool to back up

-to search directories TotalCommander seemed to be good idea, but I am rather using default FileExplorer

-because I like to use JAVA dictionaries, JbedJAVA emulator was the right thing

-if you wish to control your PPC from PC or laptop, MyMobiler is perfect tool

All programs work with no bugs so far, last thing bothers me a bit is the x/ok button on right upper corner. Sometimes must tap more times, so maybe will try to increase sensitivity of display.

Everything is running under WM 6.1 and Qualcomm with 2GB card.
[Touch 3G General] sintoo:
You have Qualcomm CPU just like the real Jade, not Marvell ?
[Touch 3G General] Kajmaj:
Yes, I have.

Nonetheless I am sure that it is cloned device, outside HTC, inside HTY :), sold as Smart Phone T3232+ /T3238 Windows 6.1 Quad Band WIFI GPS Function Unlocked Cell not as HTC Touch 3G or JADE, first piece was sh*tty, furthermore received it with CD dedicated to another HTC (Touch HD in my case), Quick Start Guide for HTC Viva etc. In the case that it is the genuine one I am ready to excuse to my supplier from PRC that I was even thinking about it :D .

And I did small web research and it is possible to find different configurations of these gadgets on the market (Marvell or Qualcomm, w or w/o GPS, WiFi, 3/4 band, Win CE 6.1 or 6.5 etc.)

The Need for Backing Up your SD Card or Finding Corrupted Files

I would be willing to bet that many of you are unaware that an SD card can be corrupted if your smartphone makes an incorrect read/write action to it!!! Usually this action occurs as the result of a program making a read/write action as the phone is being shutdown. Or, it can occur because one program has locked part of the card while another is trying to access it.

I've seen it a number of times on my PDA and just saw it last night on my Jade Clone. Normally your system will be able to access the directory where the corrupted entry (entry can be a file or even the entire directory) is located on the SD card. The way you can possibly tell your card is corrupted is if you are having problems with programs not running normally off the SD card.

Or, if when you insert your SD card into a Windows computer, your system should tell you that it needs to do a chkdsk scan of your SD card because it has detected your SD is corrupted. Most times chkdsk will not do harm to the SD card as it will run and detect no errors. But it can cause cross-linked files, delete incorrect entries and even deny access to directories if it finds corrupt entries.

Your best answer to preventing corrupted SD cards is to back your cards. I first noticed a corrupted directory because my PDA shut down accidently while running iGO8 off my original card. While the program ran again when I reapplied power to the PDA, I noticed that I could not access some maps and stored routes. Several directories had become corrupted.

I'd recommend having at least one other SD card that is a back up of the card in your Jade Clone. I have three. Two are interchangeable copies of each other and one is a Master that is not used unless a corrupted entry is found.

NavNGO will tell you to back up your card to your computer immediately if you only buy iGO8 on an SD card.

Thanks friend Ronp76. very kind of you. that tone. insurance will serve to friends in Mexico

1 question: how long does the battery in hours ? in your jade clone
[Touch 3G General] ronp76:
That depends on how I am using the device. To tell you the truth, I use mine mostly as a GPS device. Typically I drive about 20 to 30 minutes to and from which puts about one hour usage on the device. Some apps like a GPS utility I have will turn on the GPS and consume energy if I don't close it prior to turning off the screen.

I never leave the screen on whenever I am not using it. Also, I use QuickMenu to close all all open apps (some apps like to stay open after you close the program or turn on by themselves) before I use QM's Suspend feature to turn off the screen and place in a state where it can still receive phone calls.

I generally never speak over 10 minutes on my phone.

If I follow what I consider to be my normal GPS usage, a phone call or two and max power save/Suspend state, I get about one day or 24 hours of standby/usage time.

The radio from what I read is the biggest user of power. If you keep your phone in a power save or Suspend state, the its normal radio will use a little bit of power while suspended.

If you use Bluetooth, Wifi or the GPS, it is recommended you turn them off when they are no longer needed. Generally speaking, a radio left on will consume a trickle amount of power. When I have driven for over an hour using the GPS radio, the back of the device is warm to the touch meaning it has consumed and dissipated energy.

If I am using the GPS in this manner, I probably get about two to fours of usage. Hope this answers your question.

without using GPS. talking all day about 15 or 20 minutes. and the rest of the time in sleep mode. my battery lasts 14 hours.

with gps on only 2:30 hours.

without spb mobile shell

without using GPS. talking all day about 15 or 20 minutes. and the rest of the time in sleep mode. my battery lasts 18 hours.

with gps on only 3 hours.

Two batteries and a stand alone charger - a plus!!!

Two of the things I like about these Clones is that they come with two batteries and a separate stand alone charger. Not all HTC phones come with two batteries let alone a stand alone charger. In some cases the phone acts as the charger and has be plugged in to charge the battery. I would hate to be tethered to a charging cable especially if I want to be mobile with my phone.

Having two batteries gives us Jade Clone owners flexibility IMHO. Combined with the standard USB charging cable and cigarette charger, this Clone rocks!!!

Hi, great thread.

I'm wondring if anyone had tried Hard-SPL (ver 7 or later) on their Touch 3G clone ?

Or did you install anything similar ?
[Touch 3G General] ronp76:
Since no one else has answered this, I will put in my two cents. When I first joined this Forum, it was because I was having a problem with my Clone due to a failed restore. When I asked about and tried using the SPL programs, I was told that it most likely would not work with a Clone.

Additionally, I did not like the idea of dropping my firewall to connect via the net to perform the update. Bad things happen when you drop your firewall.

Since then, in reading various posts I have read how several users have bricked their phones. All it takes is one mistake and you will have a fancy paperweight on your hands - literally.

Almost every feature that is available in the ROMs I see can be had by using a program. SPB Shell seems to be the one that I would use. BUT, I like iPhoneToday too much and don't tabs for weather, contacts, etc.

If I need to know the weather, I watch TV or read the news online. I don't need for it to be displayed on my device. Likewise for Contacts. I don't need bells and whistles. WM 6.5 does an okay job of displaying my Contacts when I need them.

My final take is it is just not worth it to go from one ROM to another. 6.1 supposedly has some stuff that makes it better than 6.5. I bet I could probably say the same about 6.5 versus 6.1.

WM 5 worked well for me for over three years. As programs came out, I evaluated them and installed only well reviewed items that others recommended. There are not too many recommendations for our Clones - yet.

The reason for that is it is still relatively early in their development. I would leave ROM swapping and SPL's for those who are smarter than me. I don't need a brick when my device will do.

Hardware buttons

Hi, i have my Jade Clone a week ago. It is working fine only the GPS have seek signal. I will fix it soon adding a foil.

SPB Mobil Shell + SPB Weather + SPB Time integration is a good kit for the Clone.

I thing that the power buttom have a hard work to do. I don´t know how live it really have. The question is if are there a way to configure the red and green button for ON and OFF function?.

Hard Reset / AGPS

Hi. About the way to do a hard reset, my WM has an app to do it. START > SYSTEM > FACTORY SETTING (or something about, it has a spanish ROM).

The GPS, is really bad. The seller said that it is an Assistant GPS.

Working alone allways connect but the signal are poor, 3, 4 or 5 sats but very difficult to lock a position.

I add a piece of foid, but it´s near the same.

I was googling and readind and find something about QUICKGPS and SEASGEE programs. Running the SEASGEE, it make a file "packedephimeris" in windows folder. And then...all is the same. What am I missing? Do I need confige sothing more?

GARMIN XT connect with serial GPS, nothing with GPS Intermedite driver.

GPS Toggle anly see 12 seek sat, perhaps lock 4 of then by some minutes and lose it again. with BeeLineGPS is the same.

Can you help me?
