T5353++ Battery level Android

I've been wondering this myself..I don't think the software is properly calibrated to the hardware, so the hardware battery management system will not allow the phone to boot when the battery's below a certain level, but Android thinks it's still fine.

On saying that, I have run my battery down to 10-15% on occasion, Android starts warning of battery low at 15%, but not since upgrading to A2.2. These days, if I just have it on standby most of the time, it will only lose 20% or so of charge in a day. This is with minimal usage though. I think the trick, as with all Lithium Polymer batteries is to charge it as often as possible, as this stresses the cells less, and they have no 'memory effect' unlike the old Ni-Cd batteries.

I also keep wifi tuned off until I need it, have the screen brightness set as low as possible, and use Air-plane mode in areas with no GSM signal (like my house!). There are widgets available so that you don't have to go delving into the settings menu, to make doing this a lot quicker, so it just becomes habit.

I've a feeling that Android is basing its battery reading just on the voltage, rather than calculating the overall capacity, as I've noticed that the level can sometimes recover by 5% after the phone has been on standby for a while, this would make sense as voltage will dip as the current being drawn increases, so when you stop using it, you're using less current, so the voltage rises. It could also be a characteristic of the batteries that come with the phone that there's a large drop off in voltage after a certain point, which could equally throw the level readings, but I've not noticed any difference between the battery supplied and an original HTC battery.

All in all I think you just have to interpret the battery reading by experience, and charge it as often as possible.

T5353++ WQVGA screen space in Android

I've been testing a mod for some days now (found on a Chinese forum), and don't find any problem with it:

In order to make the display in Android feel less cramped, add the following line to the bottom of your build.prop file:

The editing is best done in Notepad++, as this maintains the format of the file when re-saving.

I started with a value of 120, that the person who first posted it was using, but this made everything way too small, and possibly interfered with flash playback in Skyfire.

The file is located in /system on the phone.

NB. This tip is for advanced users, as messing around with system files can render your device unusable.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] a_sun_of_beach:
Ok so i tried it all over again today. this is how i did it (which still didnt work)

1. extracted you .rar into the TOOLS folder inside the SDK folder (c:\android-SDK\tools)

2. so now the SUE.bat is inside "tools" folder.

3. there is an extra folder named "su" that contains 3 files, terminal.apk, superuser.apk and su. i copied all three to the SD.

3. Installed terminal and superuser but when i tried to install su (which has no extension) it came back with something like "application is not android format". i forgot the exact wording.

4. i tried to run "terminal" after i installed it but it gave an error and asked to force close it.

5. went to CMD and did all of the commands all over as you described (on PC, until it asked me to reboot)

6. After reboot -- su and terminal still gave same errors and superuser still blank.

i know there is something probably very simple that i'm missing here. I dont know which one of your two software were ADB shell, app2SD and if i needed another terminal app aside from the one you posted. I did not find anything new.

thanks:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
Why did you put the folder onto the SD???? When I said extract the contents of the archive to your tools directory, that includes the folder so c:...\tools\su\ .With the batch file c:...\tools\sue.bat .

In any case, it sounded as if you had got it right already, as you had the Superuser app on your phone :confused::confused:

so try this,

If the terminal app doesn't seem to be working, then download the latest version from here: http://code.google.com/p/androidterm/downloads/list

Install it on your phone

open the terminal app that you installed on the phone

in the terminal app, type:

then you should get a dialog saying that the terminal has asked for permissions etc. - tick 'allways allow' then press allow.

then type on the phone:

that should be it!

The SuperUser application that the .bat file installs is simply there to grant su priveledges, it will open itself when another application, in this case the terminal asks for the priveledges, you don't need to do anything with the app once it's installed. Think of the blank screen you encountered as a whitelist showing which apps have been cleared for su access. The file with no extension is also installed by the .bat file, this is required by the phone's system to grant su access.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] a_sun_of_beach:
hi, first of all, thanks again (for the 100th time now?) for taking time to write and provide explanations.

The files i copied to SD were the .apk files to manually install, because "terminal.apk" did not get installed at the end of the entire CMD part... It was a copy of what i have on my computer...

i'll try the terminal you posted when i get home. thanks again, you've been a great help.

For all T5388++ / T5388i double SIM owners:

Info on our models is slow at the moment, and this is now more a Android Dual OS thread (and why not, it was originally not our thread anyway.)

But this newer thread is not only specific to the T5388++, but it even has a Kitchen, and custom ROM's are being cooked. So you may want to check it out.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
Well I must appologise for leaving the faulty terminal.apk in the archive, as I now remember that I was aware that it didn't work. It was originally installed by the batch file as well, and I modded the .bat to prevent this. What I should have done of course was to replace it with a working version (I actually replaced the SuperUser.apk with a newer version):o. I've been through the proceedure several times with every version of Android so far - it was originally part of my attempts to fix the Time Zone bug (failed - but I got to the root of the problem - if you pardon the pun:rolleyes:).

I'm in need of Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM in English for TOPS A1.

The settings for my phone are:

806 Mhz

512 ROM

256 RAM

Dual Chips

If there is ROM in Portuguese better.

Thanks to all
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Eer:
Did you already check the firmware on http://www.solonomi.com/rom/A1/? The "normal" A1 has 256MB and 256MB ROM.

I don't know if the 256MB RAM 256MB ROM has the same firmware as the 256MB RAM and 512MB ROM as you have.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] a_sun_of_beach:
WORKED

It worked... but here's the deal that had me confused all night...

in the terminal program where you asked to type su [enter], after typing it out, it showed up like this:

$ su

(pop up window that asked for permission)

# ( <---- this "#" is already there which replaced "$" in the first line)

now when i type in pm setInstallLocation 2, it looks like this

# pm setInstallLocation 2

#

so it just went to the next line showing "#" sign, no pop up, nothing.

i dont know why i decided to use the doc command exit.

# exit

this exit took be back to the $ sign.

$

NOW, when i typed it pm setInstallerLocation 2.....

$ pm setInstallerLocation 2

BAAM... there it was, killed location1 and when i went to app setting, the button to move programs to SD or back to PHONE were working...

you are awesome... thank you so much... now i can rest a lil because when i cant work something out, i end up losing sleep over it no matter how minor or purposeless it maybe.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
That's right - the prompt symbol changes to let you know you're in SU mode, IE that your logged in as a different user, like temporarily switching to the Administrator login on a PC. By typing exit, you exited SU mode.

I think the change to install location was effected by the first time you entered the command. Now, all apps will be installed to the SDcard by default, but you can always move them into system memory through the menus as you've found. The reason you didn't get a popup is because you'd already granted permissions to the Terminal app, if you now open the SuperUser app - you'll see Terminal listed.

Anyway, congratulations :) There are other apps that will ask for SU permissions, like clock sync (syncs your phone's clock to an internet timeserver), Gscript, Tasker etc. So hopefully you'll find more use for it. The only thing you may need is busybox, but if you search for "busybox installer android" in good 'ol google, this is a lot less hassle to install. TBH, I wouldn't worry too much as I hardly ever have need of it.

Have fun!

Hello, I tried the ROM that you passed.

This ROM (solonomi.com/rom/A1/) not working for TOPS A1 806 Mhz

512 ROM 256 RAM Dual Chips.

Get a good time looking and found this rom: (cnsoji.com/view . php?tid-1476-cid-73)

it allowed me to recover the OS, but the ROM is Chinese.

Anyone know where to get ROOM in English for this phone?

:(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] a_sun_of_beach:
thanks again for all of your help. I'm sure if it wasn't for you being so patient, i'd still be struggling and "telling" the device to work like it's actually listening to me....

you remember i asked you about epocrated etc. to be found on market? so i searched online and found 3 different copies every single one of them said "expired, please renew". Now in this case, i did not find a copy that was "not expired" and the only way (that i can think of) would be to download from market or maybe if someone has a working market could download and post it so i could use these two programs (the very reason why i actually ended up installing android over from WM).

You mentioned something about "black market" or "download with hacking" etc. I'm interested in learning this process if you can point to the right direction :)

thanks again

You can try the firmware from http://www.moon0755.com/down_19_0_0_7_0.html. It's DUAL OS and DUAL SIM and english. It's also for a device simular to yours 512MB ROM, 256MB RAM.

Of course it's at your own risk because your phone can become a brick.

Not Dual SIM!!!!! Rom/Ram overstated, actually 256/128 - Do not do this
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Tedys:
I'm still looking and I do not think the ROM.

Incredible, is not there a ROM in English for this

cell phone?

Please help me in this quest!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Well, if you truly want to succeed on your quest, you should put in a little more effort. For example, how about finding out the real specs of your phone, by looking inside the WM OS with the system utilities. Or displaying a photo of the battery compartment. Providing device info and firmware version etc. All far better than just providing the untrue marketing specs.

And then search for these things on the Web. You'd be surprised how much more to the point info you get if you search for the exact firmware version string, rather then when searching with fake parameters like 512Mb.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
Indeed, and equally, just saying - have a go with this (random) ROM - is entirely irresponsible. If this forum is like others, then it has many lurkers who might just be tempted to have a go, and will end up breaking their phones in the process. This would entirely defeat the object of the forum.

To clarify my rather panicky response: the ROMs at www.moon0755.com are for the Diamond Twin Star T5353++ Dual OS phone, which has, whatever it says on the specs page, 128MB RAM/256MB ROM. Memory size is all too often overstated for marketing purposes, so not in any way reliable as a guide to compatibility.

Based on the radio version, the only other time I have seen this phone mentioned is here. Best read that post and the half dozen following it.

That one seemed to be the beefed up version of the A1, marketed as A1+ or T5388+++ (3 plusses), and yours may be the same. The different ROM date and name (Nexperia and NXP) you have may be either indicating an version update, or because you flashed a chinese ROM. Please remember that CPU name, and memory sizes are often a lie, so don't get hung up on the Marvell, its 99% certain its a MT6516, especially with that identical RADIO version.

Maybe you can contact JRMOBILE, but I do not recall a proper ROM ever being found, at least not in this thread. Happy hunting.

Edit: well, I was bored, so I searched some more. You may found this Russian link interesting. (best install Google Chrome to read it, it will auto-translate). Especial where it mentions ROM not working for devices with a new screen, which yours would be if you really have 480x800. So that means the links to the ROM is not useful for you, as its in Russian, and it probably does not work anyway. Unless if I should read it the other way around, and also the mention of a A1++ rom would be interesting. Anyway, whatever you do, you do it at your own risk.

Oh, and another A1++ here, but again, it is not entirely sure if that really is your phone.

T5388i Dead :(

Hi :)

I'm Hopping if someone can help me. I allready spent some times searching on the forum, but found any solution :(.

So the thing is, I flashed my phone with the english rom from solonomi, all went normal. but after the flashing the phone wont connect, stays black.. tried all the keys combinations, and cannot connect the phone.

Please if u can help, I would appreciate that :)

Best regards

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Ok, so its a TOPS A1- (minus) Black Diamond like this one. Anyway, best contact the vendor where you bought it, the etowalk ad indicates there is even a Portuguese OS.

I would guess you accidentally flashed with a T5388++ ROM in stead of a T5388i rom. Not a problem, just flash it again with a T5388i ROM, only you'll have to do the flash blindly, meaning without screen. Easiest to do with the IDT method, as that is controlled from the PC.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] madscout:
Thanks Cybermaus, for the quick reply :)

I flashed with the t5388i rom from solonomi's website, that i'm sure. your saying that flash blindly would do the trick? but my pc won't even detect any hardware connected on USB. i connected the phone and tried the power button, all the key combinations i thought of, but still not detected. do you think that blind flash will still work?

MH5388 Dual-SIM by Efox

I bought a MH5388 on German Ebay. I got it and figured out that there are no buttons for SIM1/SIM2. I flashed the T5388i ROM from Solonomi, and...

it works great. So, my assumption is that the MH5388 has the same hardware than the T5388i.

Just for your information.

After reading all posts (at least all concerning doblesims) in this tread, I noticed that several t5388i owners flashed their phones with Solonomi 5388i rom and in most (if not in all) cases they end up with white screens or even brick. Only success I see now is hamkraus on MH5388. Please can any 5388i user confirm successful flashing with Solonomis 5388i rom, if yes, please post your device information after flashing.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] parabellum20000:
att. t5388i users

There is a problem with the t5388i and Solonomi has warning on his site about!

How do I flash the T5388i?

“**Important**

Before you flash anything, please consider:

1. This might not be the ROM for your phone – is your phone model the same?

2. Even if this ROM is for your same model of phone, it is still possible that it might kill your phone – sometimes the manufacturer changes the hardware on newer models without notice. So ROMs for previous phones might not work on newer phones.

3. If you do not follow the instructions exactly, you might kill your phone.

4. If you are feeling uneasy at this point, then you should definitely contact your seller before you flash anything. We put these ROMs up for the phones we sell. But they might be out of date by the time you flash.

5. If you flash your phone and get a white screen, usually the only way to resurrect your phone from the grave is to send it to a shaman witch doctor in a phone factory in China.

6. Finally, after reading 1 – 5, are you really, really sure that you want to flash your phone? If so, please continue.”

You can read the rest under following address:

solonomi.com/news/?p=690

On other hand poster (same link) named Faheem supposes 2 different versions of t5388i (he has both of them (he clarified they are both with 1 i)).

1) states RAM=288MB, ROM=512MB And apparently works with solonomis t5388i rom

2)states RAM=256MB, ROM=256MB and Memory=480MB. And apparently needs other rom

Please make your own decision about flashing t5388i.

T5388i phone (ROM, phone, language...) help!!

I've got a T5388i phone (box says T5388+ but the back of the phone says T5388i) and have several problems with it. Tried searching the forum but with no luck! :(

ROM version: C03.021.08 ENG

ROM date: 2010-07-21

RADIO version: 4-16-2010

Protocol version: BASE_W09.20_P4

CPU: Marvell PXA310

Speed: 806MHz

RAM Size: 288MB

Flash Size: 516MB

Data Bit: 32bit

Display Resolution: 240*400

Problem 1:

I'm trying to search for a copy of 'C03.021.08 ENG' ROM, not only in this forum but also sites from China, and couldn't find any. Wondering anyone out there has a copy of that and able to share it out?

Problem 2:

I've tried to flash the English ROM from here: http://www.solonomi.com/rom/T5388i/, using IDT and also SD flashing (using a 8GB card) methods, IDT says 'FAIL' because the version isn't right, and SD does nothing to the phone after I did the reset by pressing 'CALL ON + CALL OFF + POWER ON' buttons. I also did changed the file name to 'K3IMG.bin'. Wondering anyone out there has the same problem and found a solution for this?

Problem 3:

The phone digits of my country is like xxxx-xxxx, and with area code will be like (xxx)xxxx-xxxx (but there's no need for the area code part for local calls). When I try to make a local call, it will automatically change to (xxx)xxx-xx, and also for all the incoming local calls too. I did installed Magicall but the problem is still there. Wondering anyone knows this problem or can teach me how to enter the correct 'rule' on Magicall to fix this?

Problem 4:

For the Windows Mobile phone that I used previously, the phone settings (go to Phone > 'Menu' button > choose 'Options' > 'Services' tab), there're several choices (Call Barring, Caller ID, Call Forwarding, Call Waiting...) to do the settings. But for this phone, there's no 'Call Barring' and 'Caller ID' options. Wondering anyone has a software or anything that can get those back to this phone?

Problem 5:

Since the phone is in English version, there's a problem with reading other languages on SMS, softwares (GPS, Facebook) and even internet pages. I'm trying to search for a Asian language pack for this phone, which can read & write Chinese, Japanese, Korean. I want to keep the ENG rom and don't want to change to CHIN rom for this. Wondering anyone has this kind of language pack and can be successfully installed and used on this phone?

I've been searching for the posts for hours to solve the above problems but nothing has been found. Hope someone can help me out! Thanks a million in advance!!
