My wifi reception is very good on my 5388++. I' m using it every week mostly from home or from a free network somewhere. The reception is from about 50 meter outside and 25 meters inside without a problem. Almost the same result like a normal wifi receiver in a computer.

I must say my GPS reception is not so good. Inside I never have any fix (I had this with my ACER DX900). Also outside it takes about 3 minutes to get a fix without A-GPS. The tips to increase the signal (see wiki) to increase the signal I never tried yet.

I hope this helps you.

serak_hd2 WiFi

I do not know your specific version, my is t5388i, but in this forum nobody (I can remember) described this problem, there was a loose contact problem with GPS antenna. Anyway my phones Wifi works nearly as good as notebook wifi (router is 2 concrete walls away). I also hope that you did not rip of a black loose strip under your bat cover just over your stylus, it is 1 of your antennas (not sure Wifi or BT). It also can be a loose connection (like GPS case), but if you decide to open your phone be careful with your speaker cables (don’t rip it of). I think in the wiki for t5388++ you can find a photo of opened phone with suggestions which connector is for wifi, you can try to des and reconnect it (but this can void your warranty and if the problem persist you will not be able to change the phone by your supplier).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Project999:
No, I meant like hard key button assignments. For instance, how do I program a hard key to launch camera since T5353++ lacks the camera button.

Thanks for your tip on WQGVA. I found a WQVGA port of EzInput and it works on T5353++.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
When I was using WM, I used SPB mobile shell, and had a camera shortcut on the homescreen, I'm not sure the hard keys can be reassigned. I'd start by searching for "Windows Mobile Key mapping" in google though.

There are all sorts of augmentations for WM, many of them originating from members of this forum, so maybe just a local search here would tell you what you need.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] serak_hd2:
I didn't found unfortunately any picture of disassembled phone. Does anybody know, where is picture located?

Black strip - you mean this whole black strip under bat (with Labels IMEI, SN) or just a little part of this strip?

Is WIFI Antenna common with GPS or BT Antenna? I think I have no problem with BT or GPS. (GPS max. 5min. outdoors )
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Eer:

Thank you!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] parabellum20000:
I see you found all pictures and may have your response already but anyway, the red squared, scratched foil on the attached Picture, it normally comes in black and partially loose, so many of us will be naturally tempted to rip it of (bad idea and still do not know what antenna it is)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] serak_hd2:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Just for clarity: you have one of the MTK A1- series phones. Hardware wise you can not use any of the 5833++ or 5833i info or pictures.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
No, I just take it a a very rough guide - it seems to drop proportionally to about 50%, then rapidly decend toward zero.

As for the market, I was going by the "Handcent" test, with diferent fingerprints - doing a search for this name and counting the results, I had none with the original fingerprint, and six with the one from 2.1. I think the big stumbling block is the SDK version number in the build.prop, making the market heavily filter the results. Another thing could be the country you're in, this is where programs like 'Market Enabler' can help by faking your sim's country of origin.

I'm currently running A2.1 v.4, with the Auto Memeory Manager mod I mentioned before, and a swapfile, as the main thing I wanted A2.2 for was Flash Player, which sadly doesn't work.

brick 5388i

Just in case you may need more detailed instruction.

English ROM download Link:

http://www.mediafire.com/?ymgvo8bf2t3v4c5

Please refer to the below steps (related picture illustration are also attached for your kind reference):

Step 1/ Turn off your phone first. Download the flashing file (named k3img.bin) onto a micro SD card, and install the card onto your device.

(There is no need to delete the existing files on the SD card, simply download the flashing file, and the system would recognize it automatically)

Press the volume up & volume down buttons together on the left panel, do not let go, and then press the start up button at the top panel

Step 2/ The phone should automatically go to the flashing mode, please make sure your battery has at least 80% of its capacity.

Press "phone" button when you see the screen as shown in picture "step 2"; or else you can wait until the phone finishes the count

Step 3 & 4/ The process shall take about 2-5 minutes, and please kindly wait until the process finishes itself. Do not turn off or remove the battery.

Step 5/ The system would re-start itself, please follow the set up wizard to finish the process.

Can you provide us the rom and radio version of this ROM?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] parabellum20000:
jorkar

I have not used this ROM so far, my phone works well. It is a ROM provided by Electronic star (I bought my phone there) I just asked them for it because t5388i by Solomoni and other I found was for older hardware version and not compatible to my t5388i. Electronic star kindly sent me this one with instructions in case I need to flash my phone. Cibermaus opened it with IDT and suspects, there is no radio in. In this case you will need to install the RADIO (only) with IDT from Solomonys t5388i afterward.

Anyway, my original (as bought) install is the following: t5388i/s628

ROM C03.021.08 ENG

ROM date 2010-07-21

Radio 4-16-2010 20:16:30

Protocol BASE-W09.20_P4

CE OS 5.2.23090 (Build 23090.5.3.0)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] parabellum20000:
You know that you can not use SD ROM on IDT and nor IDT ROM (for remote install) on SD card?

EDIT: Try to download with other browser, I just did it with Mozilla (ones again), no problem.(But I suspect it will be in English.)

Ive been out of the loop for a while and reading up on the last few pages it looks like you all have put alot of effort into these phones :)! Still my question is can the A1- WM6.5 be flashed to android 2.2? and if not has anyone actually fixed the mms problem in WM 6.5?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Eer:
It depends on the version A1- you have. Not all firmwares can be used for the A1- 256MB/256MB version, but only for the A1- 256MB/512MB version. I'm myslef investiagting which phone I want to have after my 5388++ and found that info.

The problem with the MMS is already solved in some previous post. I was basically a 2 cab solution, 1 Remove some (HTC) MMS settings / functionality, 2 install some MMS settings / functionality. It's reported to be working.

New A2 phone

There is a new phone, the A2, on the market that looks perfect (for me):

http://www.aliexpress.com/product-gs/357076973-hot-new-A2-dual-sim-card-Windows-and-android-wholesalers.html

PRO's:

+ 3G / WCDMA supported

+ DUAL OS WM6.5 and Android 2.1

+ 256MB RAM and 512MB ROM

+ Optional AMOLED display

CON's:

- Price is 340 dollar

UNKNOWN:

+/- DUAL SIM (maybe only 1 GSM SIM and 1 3G SIM

+/- SD cardslot is not in the description (Fixed?)

EDIT: Maybe this is not a DUAL SIM phone for two GSM networks but only a DUAL SIM for GSM and 3G SIM :-( If you zoom in on the SIM cardss you can see that the marking is GSM / CDMA and also on the screen you can see 3G x GSM x symbol.

GSM network signal problen in Both card

All seems well after the ROM upgrade. unfortunately radio is not included in your ROM.

i'm using Radio ROM of 5388i, GPS, Intl. format dialing (+ instead of 00), SMS on both sims etc working fine.

but I have very serious problem with both the networks constantly loosing signal & i'm getting complaints from my callers that my phone is mostly not reachable!!

can some one please help me identifying a Radio upgrade which will solve this problem?

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] parabellum20000:
I am not sure, but I think bootloder is part of your firmware, and if you flash your phone it should work again. If I am right, you could flash your phone with any (maybe Chinese, German etc.) working (on your phone) firmware and then try again over with SD card. If you cant get other language firmware, AS LAST solution try to flash with solomonis t5388i ROM (of course your screen may be incompatible and stay white after flashing) and then try SD ROM again (blindly in necessary).

Hope somebody more experienced will analyze my post and correct me if necessary

If you are or speak Russian, try to google on Russian forums (I know, they are less organized and little chaotic but persisting you can find really useful solutions unlisted here). And of course share with us! :)

C 03.021.08 ENG-the right ROM for the new screens...

I see that many of you have problems with the ROM for T5388i provided from solonomi.com. If your phone is with the new screen, after using the ROM of SOLONOMI, appears the white scree.

Here is the right ROM for your phone:

C03.021.08.ENG.part1.rar:

hXXp://dox.bg/files/dw?a=ded61049fa

C03.021.08.ENG.part2.rar:

hXXp://dox.bg/files/dw?a=56566c9ca1

Please note that this ROM is for T5388I with new screen. Before I put this ROM in my phone, my ROM was C03.021.06 RUS

Now everything is OK- option to choice which card to send SMS, no problem with + in front the numbers, option to choice which sim to use to make the phone call.

Good luck for everyone.

RADIO version : 4-16-2010 :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Indeed, if you check the CPU's (MSM7627+MT6223) you find one CDMA and one GSM processor. So not what you want.

Also, since my (real) HTC Touch HD, I will never again buy a phone that does not at least have real physical buttons for answer/end. The 'fake' touch screen buttons are a) too easily accidentally triggered while retrieving the phone from the trouser pocket and b) too easily blocked because you are accidentally touching another part of the screen.

But thats just my opinion, feel free to buy.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Eer:
Cybermouse, Thank you very much for you opinion. I appriciate it very much. I think in this case you are not right because the A2 has a call en end call button. The are next to the home button but not so easy to see.

That checking the CPU can give answers on what the phone functions can be is logical. My problem is that finding the functionality is very difficult. Do you have a site where this is easy?

So we have to wait for a new CPU that has DUAL SIM and 3G functionality on board. Or is this already available?

Thanks a lot CyberMouse!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Yes, MTK announced earlier this year it was shipping samples of such a dual radio + 3G chipset to manufacturers. I forgot the chip number. So I am hoping we'll see such phones soon.

Yes, I noticed the buttons first time, but they are not real buttons, they are 'special' regions of the extended touch screen. Just like my HD had. Not for me thanks.

But I admit, I know of HD users who did not share in my frustration of fake buttons, so its probably something personal.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] parabellum20000:
If I see the right picture there is no actual physic button ( no contact interruption). It is software (or programming depending) they are (like cibermouse told) extension of screen or just emitter / receiver (if you block outcome light it comes back to receiver). We still live in analog life, we just like to believe that digital input is cool (it still not). Maybe in present future, I hope.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] parabellum20000:
Thank you, very grateful! I think it will be nice to ad this ROM to wiki (I am not capable to do that, I never did it before).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Eer:
Thanks a lot CyberMouse, Never heared about a software button, below the touch screen. It sounds logical, just extend the screen a bit and you can save the hardware buttons with all problems that come with it of course.

As to your problem itself: Have you tried other SIM's? Borrow one from a friend to check. Also remote any SD memory when you check.

Also, why did you ask for an English ROM from your vendor in the first place? Were you having problems with the factory ROM as well? If so, your problems may be deeper than software.

I doubt it would be the wrong ROM, it you try a wrong ROM the phone is usually dead.

How about answering the question about the version of the ROM?

Also, if you wonder if its the wrong ROM, and you already found the Wiki, and you already know how to flash, does it not seem *obvious* to try the English ROM from the Wiki? Is there something you are not telling us?
