@flamanflaman

The DuOs is working fine as long as you don't want to sync your contacts, calendar, or have the convienience of getting apps from the Android Market. As I say, WinMo runs perfectly (ish-had it crash on me a couple of times, think I just ran out of RAM :D), better with SPB.

Having Both systems in flash memory is both a blessing and a curse, as it makes Android run much faster with no crashes to the core, but cuts down on storage for internal WinMo apps (hey-ho, that's what SDcards were made for I guess).

My phone has the same specs as yours, but supposedly has 512/256, though I'm a bit sceptical about this ;). Good phone for the price though, nice design (thanks HTC), stable hardware, and pretty fast. Would love to get a more functional version of Android, but perhaps I'm just being greedy.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
It seems for flashing you need a 2GB card or smaller, Solonomi's ROM will flash android to the internal flash memory, so you can then use whatever card you like, but it still needs to flashed from a </=2GB card formatted to FAT16 NOT FAT32.

ROM From here:h$$p://solonomi.com/rom/

Instructions are in a .txt file with the ROM, but in Chinese, google can translate.

Good luck, oh BTW I had to flash my phone twice to get android to boot, so if at first you don't succeed.....

just ordered t5388++ dual sim (wm6.5 prof english 800x480 screen 256 ram )...

i wanted to ask the following as i didn't manage to reach to a conclusion after 2hrs of reading...

does everybody owning that phone have gps ,and/or sms ,and/or +xx , and/or Comatose status issues with the original english rom that the mobile came with or is it a matter of "luck"?

These problems occur in various countries with different carriers?

This phone is going to be used as a business phone and i cannot risk not to be reachable...

Would you advice me to cancel my order?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the off topic...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] armidaamica:
I have a possible solution for the coma problem. :D

I am trying the phone without the sd card and NO COMA FOR THE LAST 48 HOURS. Not even an episode. Before was happening almost anytime the phone was going is stand-by. I am waiting for a new card from the seller, I will keep you posted ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
+xx problem was reported on all versions of all roms (to date), but it does seem some operators in some countries have less issues. You best assume you are going to need Magicall or update your entire addressbook

EDIT: The +xx problem was solved with the April 16 radio from the 5388i here

SMS works, but not German Banking TAN codes. No solution yet afaik

USSD codes (*101# etc) works with the new radio that comes with the German ROM

GPS appears to work better with radio from German rom, but if you are unlucky enough to have a bad build (bad antenna connection?), than a rom will not help you. So luck is indeed involved.

Comatose seems to be rare (I really only saw two people complain about it as annoying and daily, I have the phone now for 2 months, and had the problem rarely, and then only when playing with programs with keep-awake routines build in. User armidaamica will doubtlessly disagree as (s)he has the bad luck of being one of the two.

I use the phone as primary business phone too, and for me, it is *more* reliable than my previous real brands of HTC and Samsung. My advise:

- If you cannot deal with any issues ever, buy a non-smartphone. Or maybe a pair of Apples. Any and all smartphones will at some point fail you.

- Reset the phone every morning

- Try to keep utilities clean and light. Not too many 'flashy graphics' skins like SPB, M2D, PointUI, etc. If you do install memory resident utilities like S2U2, AEB+, distrust settings in those before you trow the entire phone.

- Non memory resident applications do not matter, they will not interfere with the phone (which is probably why apple is stable, as they do not allow any permanently active apps)

Before flashing anything, please report ROM and radio versions. I'd like to know if/when new versions exists, so I can search for the files.

cracked digitizer

Hallo all,

my Touch Diamond 2 clone falled down and my digitizer is now cracked.

I bought one for original Touch Diamond 2 but it is not fits (Electrical ribbon is smaller that on chinese clone). Can you help me where I can buy digitizer for chinese clone?

I have T5353
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vagelisss:
Thanks cybermaus for the quick answer...

The truth is that it is the first w.m that i will buy and this explains much... On the other hand all of my mobiles the past 6 years where symbian (and if there was one with double sim i would probably prefer it) so i wouldn't buy one that i wouldn't be able to customise to my needs.

To the point now... As soon as it arrives i will report ROM and radio versions. Then i will check how everything works (and report)and if there is a problem the first thing to do is hard reset. Right?

Guys!

Does anyone can provide me with wm 6.1 english firmware for T5388+

Problem is - I need one with the driver for new displays
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Niralax:
Hi! I am from Ukraine so sorry for my bad English. Need your pro help! I'm a honored user of 5388++ with 2 sims. In my phone, options of SIM 1 or 2 I have only:

Call Forwarding

Call Waiting

Message Center

and "Get Setting" under it and that's all.

As I can understand some other owners of the same models have a lot more options, such as Call Barring, Caller ID, Voice Mail and Text Messages, Fixed Dialing. In my work i need to hide my number, so i need to get Caller ID option, but i dont have it. ((( Please, help me to fix this problem, its very important for my work (((

Maybe its bug of firmware? My versions are:

ROM Version C03.001.01 RUS

ROM Date 2010-03-15

Radio 3-22-2010 11:47:54

Protocol BASE_W09.20_P4

What should I do to get this options?

Thank you in advance!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
Now that's a question I would like to see a fix to. I had a T5355+ which had all the options you mention but my T5388++ has just the three (and call forwarding is spelt incorrectly).

I have flashed my 5388 with Chinese, German and English roms and there are still only three options available under the phone services with each of the roms.

I have noticed with my phone that I don't receive carrier messages and I'm guessing that the fact I can't download some of the services settings is what's causing this. For example, when I get a voicemail, my carrier would normally notify me by SMS message but I never get these on this phone. Also, if I request SMS delivery notifications, these never turn up either. I can send and receive SMS messages with no problem - it's just the carrier messages I never sem to get. It's a bit of a pain on the voicemail side as it means that I need to keep dialling into my mailbox to see if there are any messages waiting for me.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] fschwenk:
Well, the usual caller ID functions can be manipulated using GSM codes - there is no actual need for the services entry except for International Prefix settings which are usually handled using that path.

Regarding the SMS reception problem:

I have found out so far that the actual problem seems to be that the phone makes some assumptions regarding the header fields of an SMS. If one of the fields (I do not know which) contains an "unexpected" value, then the SMS is discarded. I have tested MagiCall's SMS filter to intercept the SMS but that obviously does not solve the problem because the SMS is discarded before MagiCall gets it.

T5358+

Hiya Guys, i have similar problems regards messaging and phone services, when i try to enter phone settings it says your phone is not ready wait 15 seconds and try again, same when i try and send SMS, i've tried a couple of different roms ( a windows 6.5 and a win 6.1) but have the same issue is there a setting on the phone that needs changing? is it the actual roms that are at fault or is there some other drivers that need installing? I am on Virgin mobile if this makes a difference

i need FM radio and G sensor

Hello,

Can anyone explain if this device can works with a FM radio and the G sensor working?:confused::confused::confused::confused:

So I want to flash the better ROM for this device to obtain the same issue as the HTC diamond 2, same UI and programs.

Can anyone help me and post a link? Wich is the best/stable ROM available and work with FM radio and G sensor?

Thank you!!!

PS Sorry for bad English
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Niralax:
i asked my operator about that. He told me to using *31# and *30# for turn on and off Caller ID option. I tried this in sim1, recieved message like "Succesfull" but my number still show...:(:(:(:(

Another method is to set #30# before the number (like #30#80501111111), but i recieved "Connection Fail" message... Pls, help me if somebody can... Its very important for me! :confused::(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Where did you get the impression other 5388++ users have more options? Please do not confuse hope with knowledge.

Anyway, you can also disable CallerID by prefix #31# on a per call or permanent bases: ref here and here (most providers support these)

I almost wish I had that problem. My carrier messages come through nicely. Problem is, its a bilingual Belgian provider and I am abroad a lot, so every time roaming swaps network, I get a LOT of messages. One to welcome me abroad. One to inform me of dialing cost abroad, one to inform me of data cost abroad, one to inform me of the preferred partner network. And I get them all once for French and once for Dutch. And if an hour later the roaming swaps network again, it starts all over.....

PS: come to think of it, I do not think I ever saw any messages from my other provider. Maybe they do get lost. How do you notice?

Edit: it seems posts crossed. Anyway, did you try #31# without number. It should disable permanently. The *31# they told you about is actually the enable command. 30 should be for incoming caller ID, 31 for outgoing, so indeed #30#number is not a valid combination. *#31# for status query.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Niralax:
Yeap, i did mistake when wrote this message. I use #31# before number and message is Call Failed! (

Hi,

in Italy (Vodafone), on my 5388++ it's the same: no message sended from internet to my phone can be received, no message from my Bank (for credit card...) and no message from Vodafone.... IT'S A BIG PROBLEM...

Also no MMS it's possible to send and receive.

And for #31#, in combination with the number to call, it's the same: symbian has no problem but 5388++ not work...:(

To flamanflaman

Which ROM do you have? 6.5.21734? or newest?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
WOW. I'll test that tonight to confirm. Thanks.

What made you test this modem?

What is the modem/radio version displayed in device info?

Does the USSD / *101# works for this?

radio version is 4-16-2010

ussd requests are working good from sim1 only (like for "german" radio)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
I confirm:

Radio 4-16-2010 20:16:30

Proto BASE_W09.20.P4

+xx now seems to work. Super. I will test some more in the next days.

PS: did you try USSD on SIM2 after setting the main sim to SIM2? Settings=>Personal=>DoubleSim

PPS: While I was busy, I also tried to flash the 5388i ROM to 5388++ device. I can now state with certainty it does not work, the screen is dead. Even when you reflash (call-endcall-power) the screen is dead, but luckily the actual flash does work, so I managed to go back to 5388++ I hope someone finds the 5388++ copy of C03.020.01 soon.

EDIT: Maybe one of the Germans want to try the TAN code SMS?

Also, regarding the TAN codes: If you use Advanced Config V3.3, there is a setting whether SMS receive conformations are allowed. Default is no. I wonder if setting that to yes may also help. As my bank does not use TAN codes, I cannot test this myself.

T5388+++ sim card problem

Today i got my dual sim T5388+++ with Greek language and ... has no signal,i put pin number and wait but nothing,no signal at all !!!

I have successfully installed the "new" radio ROM on my T5388++. International dialing actually works, but I am still observung teh same problem with the SMSs containing mobile TANs. Now I will try and test whether the reply settings might change anything.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] dyd666:
Yes, with this ROM work well the g-sensor but now we have another problem... not work the zoom bar...

Any solution?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
What do you expect? An answer within 30 minutes?

Did you try a hardreset?

Did your SIM card work in another phone?

Did you check that your phone is not in airplane mode?

Maybe your phone is broken.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] JRMOBILE:
No,sorry just posted twise and i couldn't erase it so i added dots ..... !!!

Now as far as concern sim works fine, all four of them to be exact,and when i put sim card ask pin number...i did reset (1234) but still same resalt (pardon my english,i am from Greece so...bare with me) !!!

I don't know if i can tell you something helpful but please ask me anything !!!

Thank you in advance for your time
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
The rom mentioned by cybermaus has nothing to do with getting the g-sensor working - this was a hack to get international dialling working on the T5388++. I have installed this same modem flash on my T5388++ and it has in no way affected the zoom-bar operation so you probably need to tell us what phone you flashed and whether you did a full flash or just the modem.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] JRMOBILE:
I ask for your help because another phone like this with the same language pack has the same problem so ... you see my point ?

Now if you think that it's hardware problem i will try to check RFchip or the circuits around it
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
No offense, sorry.

If the SIMs are working in another phone and the phone is even asking you for the PIN, then this looks like a defect phone.

Sorry to ask again, did you check that your phone is not in flight mode?

Can you tell me how can i do this(how can i check the flight mode) ?

GPS Signal Breakthrough

Well, I think I have finally found a solid fix for my crappy GPS signal problem. I had tried reflashing various roms etc but while some gave good results to start, it was always very hit and miss and I generally had to rely on my BT GPS unit to get a signal.

I was browsing another forum, not actually looking for a GPS fix but I stumbled across a post which looked very interesting so I tried it and sure enough I got an almost instant fix - and even more surprising, I was sat inside the house at the time!!

So, the fix. It is hardly hi-tech and involves no flashing or software tweaking. It is as simple as putting a piece of aluminium foil inside the back cover of the phone. I have torn a piece that roughly fits inside the back cover and covers the GPS antenna (top left when looking at back of phone). And that's it - I did this and I have a full strength GPS signal while sat inside the house whereas before I could sit outside without a cloud in the sky and get nothing. Just to make things even more interesting, the weather here is very cloudy and VERY rainy so not what you'd consider perfect conditions for getting a GPS signal as far as this phone has previously been concerned.

The original post where I found the info is here, but you'll need to run it through a translator if you're not Chinese. There is a file attached which is a short video showing how a piece of foil inserted into the speaker slot makes instant changes to the GPS reception.

So give it a go if you can't get your GPS working - it won't cost you a penny (unless you have no foil in the baking cupboard).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] JRMOBILE:
I tryied again and this time worked !!!

Great signal,but when i switched off the phone and tryied again,the same result as before...NO SIGNAL !!! :mad::mad::mad:

I am gonna get crazy,if this is a hardware problem i am going to fix it, i have the equipment and eleven years of experiance,if it's software problem i need your help !!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] dyd666:
I have t5388i i think that Cybermaus talked about this phone... anyway with this new rom "gsensorfix" the gsensor work well and also international dial. The problem is that now not work more the zoom bar...

Any solution?

Thank's.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Interesting.

You said a friend had the same? Maybe the mistake is with the Greek software that it resets flight mode on reboot. You could try flashing the English rom and see if it behaves better. How to flash a 5388++ is by now quite well documented, so should have relatively little danger.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] JRMOBILE:
Can you show me where i can download the English Rom for T5388+++ ?

By the way it's time i check the flight mode is off !!! :confused::confused::confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
Get it here.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
What mr nick said.

However, I suddenly notice that there seems to be no Greek ROM availible. You claim to have one. And you persist in calling it a 5388+++ (3 plus)

Are we certain we talk about the same phone? What does the model on the sticker under the battery say? And what is your ROM/RADIO version in the device information?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] JRMOBILE:
It's in Greek, so i will try my best !!!

Yes,it says T5388+++ and : CE 5.2.21840(BUILD21840.5.0.60)

Is this helpful ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
In a way. Its a completely different phone than what we call 5388++

Nothing we tell you about the 5388++ will apply to your phone.

Sorry

Is it a dual sim phone?

It mentions a MT6516, so it may be one of MTK's phone, like the TOPS A1. I did hear there was a newer model of the A1, with 800x480 but with hardware acceleration.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] JRMOBILE:
They call this model A1 but not TOPS and it is real fast with good screen resolution[i also bought a G3 Hero and the A1(T5388+++) is faster and has better screen and more memory]
