Yes, as I said. Ive head about it. And I guess you did say +++ at the beginning, so you cannot be blamed for the confusion.

But its a new model, from a different manufacturer, completely different make, and so far no-one else has reported about it. So your on your own with any problems, best to contact your seller for update software or start reading all the chinese forums, like we did, to build up knowledge.

Eventually, you and other +++ users probably get updates and knowledge.

(We probably really should ask XDA for a separate sub-forum for clones, so it can be given its own thread, rather than adding yet another model to this one)

EDIT:

A quick scan show that the model is sometimes called T5388+++ or A1+

It seems to be simply the TOPS A1, but with 256M RAM

While I have seen a vendor claiming 800x480, most claim 400x240. The original A1 also already had graphics accelerator, and I also have seen the same 460M processor, so it probably is just that: The A1 but with 256M RAM.

Some updates on T5388++

I have further tested the latest ROMs from Solonomi as well as the new radio ROM from the "g-sensor-fix".

It seems that the German ROM C03.002.01 GER has a problem with WLAN (at least with WPA). Using the current/"old" English ROM C03.001.01, 2010-03-15 ENG works perfectly fine with the new radio ROM from the "g-sensor-fix" (4-16-2010 20:16:30). With this combination:

- International number dialing works

- G-sensor works

- GPS works

- SMSs with mobile TANs do not work

Lucky me, the seller is gone !!!

I don't know if i am right but i saw the TOPS A1 by etowalk.com and it's exactly the same,CPU,MEMORY just the same with different name !!!

If i can find at least the English ROM fine by me !!!

I just have to search a little more,and maybe get really lucky some day !!!

Thank you all anyway just for answering !!!

Did it start like this when you received it, or did it work first and did something happen to cause it to fail? If may help with warranty claims if you hide doing something silly, but in a forum of peers, nog giving complete info only makes it difficult for people to help.

It as the second flash, the first was ok!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Thats what I though. I suspect you flashed the incorrect screen type, so you have a T5388i and you flashed a T5388++.

Just flash it again, using IDT, with a proper T5388i ROM. You cannot see the 'flash-icon' when you press call-endcall-reset, but it is there, and it works.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
Hi all.

As you might remember, recently I had a problem with GPS (bad hardware connection?) on 5388++ which I unsuccessfully tried to solve by various means. I sent the phone for replacement and received a new one with ROM C03.021.01 ENG. GPS is working flawlessly, missing SMS menu options are visible (i.e. send via SIM 1 or via SIM 2), dialing +/countrycode/number works, no longer need for 00/countrycode/number. And the OS seems a bit faster. Sorry I have no time to go through the forum now to see if this ROM was discussed before, but I am very happy for a phone that works to my expectations.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
No, this is the first mention of that ROM. The German one is C03.020.01 GER, but hitherto the newest ENG was C03.001.01 ENG

We did however find a Radio from April 17 that solved the +xx. Probably the same as you haveh.

Can you nag your vendor for the ROM file?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
It is not flashed, it is replaced for a new phone I received from china. The primary reason for replacement was the hardware GPS issue. The ebay store where I got the phone seems to be Solonomi related (I hope Solonomi will not mind) so I am sure he will be able to provide this ROM sooner or later.

As for the OS I can see significant improvement in screen responsiveness (finger scrolling), maybe that is why I think the phone is "faster", but this is strikingly noticeable (unless I had severely defective phone in the first place:-) )
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] JRMOBILE:
Thank you,i think i will try !!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Then you probably did have a very bad build. For me C03.020.01 GER feels the same as C03.001.01 ENG, and both have good responsiveness, so going to C03.021.01 ENG should not be the world of difference.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] fschwenk:
Do you have the chance to test the WLAN (WPA) part of the new ROM? Just to ensure that it does not contain the same problem as the GER ROM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
I have seen the WPA discussions on the German forum.

WPA was even a problem with my HTC Touch HD. But when I use WiFiMonster in stead of the build in Windows wireless manager, it works. So I was under the impression it was more a generic WM problem.

I believe it to be related to the fact that WPA has 2 types of encryption (AES and TKIP) and the build in windows does not always select the correct one. So it works sometimes, even on the same network. If you go into the manager and manually select the other type, WiFi connects. Or it did for me.

WiFiMonster seems to handle this better, and it is a fee utility. And looks nicer.

---

Anyway, I am suprised you did not ask about the TAN codes. Which reminds me: I suggested trying to install Advanced Config V3.3 and enabling 'confirmation' on SMS to see if that worked for TAN SMS, but I did not see anyone report success or failure on it, so it may have been missed.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
I am starting to believe so, you might remember hardly anything worked right:-)

The only problem I see in this new ROM so far is that the unlock info screen is gone - or to say it has the appearance of previous windows version, i.e. tap unlock/unlock.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] fschwenk:

I guess that you have missed my post #702.

So here again:

Just received my T5388++ :

English ROM C03.001.01, 2010-03-15 ENG

Radio version 2-2-2010 13:50:3

- WIFI works flawlesly

- G-sensor works

- GPS works perfectly(starts in 30sec)

- SMS option for sending via sim1 or sim2 NOT working

- International number dialing (+) NOT working

I ve also observed that when i loaded the smbtime and an alarm rang afterwards my phone fell into coma... meaning that the screen was frozen not responding to any button or finger touch and when i made a call to it it appeared to the caller that it was ringing while the phone itself just lit the backlight...Now i uninstalled it and wait to see if it happens again...

I've also observed this... when i am connected to my bt hands-free the phone lags so much that it is unusable... Imagine that at first i thought it had crashed... Has anybody encountered this? Any solutions?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
I found it has to do with the two data-signals. If there is a valid USB signal, the USB device can request up to 500mA. If no proper USB power authorization is given, an device is only allowed to draw 100mA. If there is no signal at all, the phone assumes a dedicated non-smart charger is attached, and tries to draw 700mA.

If you have a non-smart charger only capable of 500mA, the phone will ask 700mA, and the charger voltage will collapse, thus working very badly.

If you have a non-smart charger capable of 1000mA, but its one of the official ones for Apple or possibly the new Europe charger standard, then they show an internal resistance on the data lines. The phone mistakes this for a real USB connection, but it does not get permission for 500mA. So it asks only 380mA (which is 280mA more than it is allowed to, but OK)

Still, the maintained 380mA does the job better than an attempted but collapsed 700mA, so it is already quite better and workable.

If you connect the phone to the charger with a 'broken cable' (cut the middle 2 data lines, so it does not see the resistance anymore) it will again ask for the full 700mA. And this time, because the charger can do 1000mA, it does not collapse, and the phone is full fairly quickly.

The irony of course is that the reason 'strong' chargers show an internal resistance on the data line is to indicate that it has power to spare. But our 5388 phones misinterpret it as USB signal, and limit themselves.

So far I am satisfied, but there is one thing i cannot get to work.

My internet (Vodafone Live from the Netherlands) will not work.

I have selected the good sim.

I hope some one can help me with this.

Obviously you do have the data plan activated, i.e. used it before on this SIM? Happened to me on my business SIM which actually showed not to be activated despite I was told it is :-)

Vodafone usually has very simple settings, just enter the access point. There are usually several different points depending on prepaid vs. contract etc. So just try any one you can find :-)

IDT problem when trying to flash t5388+

im very happy for you, rally because that makes me feel that i can have the gps working and the +xx problem fixed, why? because i suposed the roms from : hxtp://solonomi.com/rom/T5388++/ are the updated ones, if so it oulc be great,my problem is that i can't manage to properly use IDT, i downloaded from solonomi website, but after i choose the bin file i downloaded (tried 2 languages, spa and eng) IDT says that the platform is ubnkown and i have 2 options, gsm/egprs or CDMA x1 , both optyions led me to the same situation, idt fails trying to upgrade, still don't connect my phone to the usb cable as the process stop there.... any clue? im on windows 7, and tried compatibility mode and got the same results....

i have the radio working, btw. i have t5388+ but i can see that is the ++ version as in solonomi website my specs are exactly the ones for solonomi t5388++, 600mhz qualcomm processor, 3.2mpx , gps, dual sim, 288 ram. ..

any help ? apreciat your time. Thanks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Uninstall IDT. Reboot PC. Reinstall the version from Solonomi. Ensure ActiveSync is set to not allow USB connections. Try again

Best do all of this on a Windows XP PC.

On Windows 7, you may first also need to install the USB driver from Solonomi, but I have no experience there.

Indeed, Dual SIM T5388+ is named ++ by community, but is labeled 5388+ on its internal sticker, but we need to separate it from similarly named single SIM T5388+

The ROM from Solonomi do not (yet) have the latest radio that fixes the +xx. you need this ROM for that, but make sure you flash the modem only, as the AP portion of the 5388i breaks the 5388++

T5388+++ sim card problem

Finally i found out why my T5388+++ doesn't read properly sim cards...does read only old cards :confused:

With new cards doesn't have any signal but with 5 years old sim cards works fine.Does anyone know if by changing ROM will work ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Sorry to hear man. So I gather you did not risk that A1 ROM yet? Well, I am not going to force you, there is always a risk with flashing.

But I am interested in one thing. Does it really say T5388+++ (triple plus) in the battery compartment? I do see Sales references to it on the web, but no accompanying pictures show this, if they have pictures, they show TOPS and Touch A1 in the phone itself.

If your claim to +++ is only on your invoice or packaging, it may really be a A1, and I have to ask you to refer to it as such, to avoid confusion.

If it really does say +++ in the phone, well, then you may be wise not to try the A1 ROM, though they must be closely related, so the ROM may possibly still work.

IDT and flashing

Hi guys,

I think that it would help if you mention the phone type and the ROM you try to download. For my T5388++ I am probably using the IDT mr nick was refering to (at least the date matches). Then you might want to make sure that the file name does not contain any double byte (e.g. chinese) characters and ensure that the complete filename including the path is not to long. then things should work - at least for a T5388++.

Rom version : c03.001.01ESN, radio version : 3-22-2010 is my rom older than solonomi's? founded here: hxtp://solonomi.com/rom/T5388++/ (change the "x" for an h) . i would like to have fix the xx dialing problem (im going to try as some member say a few post ago, flashing only the modem from the t5388i rom as that rom has the xx dialing problem fixed) and hope to fixthe gps problem .. as it never find a satellite outside or inside.

my rom version has the fm radio ok and the zoom bar works fine, wifi also is ok, and my wifi connection is with password, no problems wirh it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
Not sure flashing will be a definite fix for the GPS - it certainly made no difference for me. I could wait 60 minutes in clear sky and get no fix.

gps final solution?

Hello, yes i read yout solution, and even try it. probably i did something wrong please let me know:

got aluminium foil from my mom's kitchen :D, tried to put it inside the "speaker" hole at the left upper corner of the phone as you said and the chinese forum said, not sure how much inside in "cm" for example, must the foil be in, can you be a little more accurate on that please? thank you for answering: thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
Here is a pic of the inside of my phone - I just put foil inside the back so that there is nothing hanging outside (which would be a real pain). I just made sure that the foil covered the GPS antenna which is next to the camera lens.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] brrvarus1987:
sss

Hello, ok, did it just like you, i have a piece of foild same size and placed it in the same points you told me, but is only between the back cover and over the battery right? or muyst i isnsert piece insdide the speaker hole ? and other question, wich parameters you have i mean wich com port do you have to communicate software with gps and other? thanks im think im about to fix it!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
I haven't put any foil inside the speaker - it is just lay directly over the battery so that I can put the cover on and it looks absolutely standard. When I first tried I had a big 'flag' of foil hanging out of the back just to test that it worked and once I saw it did I just folded it all up and tucked it inside as shown in the photo.

As for my settings, in the 'external GPS' page the program port is set to COM6, hardware is set to none and management is automatic. In the 'GPS settings' page I have A-GPS set to forbid and that's it. I can then startup the GPS in the settings page and get a sky-map in about 3 seconds and get a fix very quickly after.

I'd suggest trying to get your first fix outdoors as it can always take a few minutes if you've NEVER had a fix before but after that, things should get a bit quicker.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] rollps:
Thank you so much for this hint with the foil - I was close to ship the phone back to China as I didn't GPS get work...but now, just inserted it exactly like you did, got a strong signal within 30 seconds - so, that's the solution !!!
