5388++ V2

Sorry been off the planet for awhile so not so active on the forum but have been reading lots..

updated to the new V2 many thanks for the developers and your hard work.

updated from c03.001.01 eng straight to C03.020.01 eng then to V2 and at the same time to 5388i radio ( I have never had a problem with SOD or GPS signal I use tomtom ) the only issue I have had and still have is that it can take up to half an hour to get sim signals just sits there searching on both Sims but not a real issue as I have never turned my phone off

so far all working well, a few minor things which I will go into later mainly cosmetic but love the new interface , keyboard etc (used spb keyboard before like the new one much better with spelling etc.)

Now that we have MMS/GPRS didnt know if you maybe able to help me set it up

ps the vibrator on the phone doesnt work anymore anyone opened their phone to fix this ???
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] MicAlter:
Vibra fix and Speaker-Boost!

Hmmm... my vibra works well. I opened the phone several times without any problems. Maybe the vibra got out of place and has lost it's contact to the board.

To open the phone you have to do the following:

Remove the back cover

Remove battery, SIM-cards, SD-Card and stylus

Remove the four visible screws (each edge) (Picture 1)

Remove inner cover carefully! Take care of the speaker cables. I detached one cable when I opened the phone for the first time and had to solder it again. (Picture2)

Check the vibra and the contacts. Maybe you have to bend the two contacts a little bit to make it fit or the vibra slipped off its position.

When closing the housing be sure that the volume switch and the USB bracket (Picture2) are set correctly in their positions.

Now check if the vibra is running ;)

Speaker-Boost

Another thing I will have to mention (Picture3). But it's probably a little bit off-topic!

I drilled a few holes through the inner housing/cover which makes the phone significantly louder (music, speaker call)! And the best: It's an invisible solution!

I know that the best thing would be to drill some holes straight through the back cover but I hestitate a little bit :rolleyes:

EDIT 03/12/2010:

And now it's done!

I've drilled small holes through the back cover to give the speaker a chance (Picture 4) .

And the feedback:

This is the only solution to hear music or a phone call as loud as desired. It is a design failure that these holes aren't there. There are several T5xxx modells at the market and only a few having these holes, too.

The only thing I have to add is a small safety net to prevent incoming dust.

Hi,

it seems that the vibra outage is due to the V2 ROM. Mine does not work anymore either. How is the V3 Beta?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] MicAlter:
Hi,

the vibra was fine in V2 ROM, too.

To be more precise my vibra works fine in all bgcngm ROMs - even in the current developer release.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] crustie:
Sorry misstated it wasnt working before I upgradded been out for about 2 months

will open the phone up later

many thanks

any help on the GPRS/MMS would be greatfully appreciated

Crustie:p
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] crustie:
Thanks for the hint on opening the Phone to repair the Vibrator

What I found was the motor itself wasn't working when I applied 1.5 volts to the motor it would give a tiny kick sometimes

So I ratted in the old mobile phone scrap box and found another motor and soldered some wires on it and soldered the wires direct onto the board .

Now works a treat...had nothing to loose

was going to take a photo but put it togeather and wasnt about to pull it back apart

dont think my luck would hold out

thanks again for the advice

hello guys!

i am new user of this forum and i want to ask you if this rom that i have download is ok for my dual sim t5388+ ?...i want to avoid a brick thats why i am asking.

in the site that i bought the phone is refered like t5388+ and not like t5388++.....

is it ok?here is the link of my phone http://www.fastcardtech.com/goods-4...adband++G-sensor++600MHz+CPU+GPS+WIFI+FM.html

can you help pls?

and one more question...if the rom is ok...which is best?v1 or v2?

thank you very much
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Eer:
If I see the specs of the phone and the price it's a 5388++ not a 5388+. Do you have an original firmware file, if yes, what is the name of the file?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] crustie:
Looks like its a 5388++

try here http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=ChineseClonesT5388plusplus#TAN_messages

I'm using the V2 find it great

if you are updating from c03.001.01 then you will need to update to c03.020.01 first otherwise you will get a looping startup i.e. phone wont boot to OS

get c03.020.01 from here http://www.htc-topaz.co.cc/files/index.php?dir=ChineseClone_Files/&sort=date&order=asc

get this file S650WM653_20100412_C0302001_english.rar

might save you some time :D

PS. if you havent updated your radio rom you might like to grab T5388i-english.rar from the same site

but make sure you only update the Radio not ap when using this file this is done using the IDT Tool (works best under XP)

@MicAlter

Where it is possible to find this ROM for t5388++ dual sim 800x480?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] MicAlter:
Hi magicwolf,

this is a non-public beta build from bgcngm.

BIG666 and I are testing this ROMs and give bgcngm our detailled feedback. He (we) don't want to publish a beta ROM to the whole community.

So everybody will participate soon - with a more stable and faster ROM... you just have to wait a short time ;)

All I can say for now is that bgcngm is doing a very good job!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BIG666:
There's still unfixed issue with SD-card :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] MicAlter:
You're right but I've found out that this problem only occurs when the phone goes to standby - maybe for a longer time.

In the last two days I haven't had any problems with my sdcard because I disabled the auto standby-option in battery mode and external power. Seems to be a problem of the sdcard controller when it is going into or leaving standby mode.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BIG666:
Problem is 100% in software(maybe, some drivers of some sd-card related controllers)

On other ROM's (where SOD) no this bug.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] MicAlter:
Ok... When I got the mobile I had the last german rom from Solonomi.com already installed. Most times I got crashes in every kind of functionality (phone calls,active sync,video playback,...), so I decided to flash to an (more recent) english rom.

Obviously I missed the rom with a completely working sdcard... :rolleyes:

But in that case I have still the hope of getting this nice looking dual sim mobile to work as desired... thankx for your feedback!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] fschwenk:
@MicAlter and bgcngm

This is just to say THANK YOU! You guys are doing a fantastic job for the whole community. Any improvement is highly appreciated! Let me know if I can help with anything.

Actually, I think I am going back to V1. I've been running V2 for a while now, I always try to avoid to shout out conclusions too soon.

But after a few weeks, I think I can say that I have had a lot more 'weird' problems than with V1. None of them conclusive or clear. But its just less stable. Not a lot of SOD, but a lot of lost network, bluetooth jammed, stuck programs...

So I am going back to V1, which was running better.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] MicAlter:
Hi again,

are you using the "Windows Default" Homescreen (please check under "Settings->Home->Items")?

As you know I also had problems with my sdcard and system hangs when resuming from standby-mode.

After disabling this one my problems are gone (no freezes when resuming from standby-mode, sdcard still available and accessable)!!! My phone runs for almost two days without any problems...

Can you/anybody confirm this?

Another thing:

It's done. Now I've drilled holes through my back cover to boost the speaker volume (look/read here).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] fschwenk:
Hi,

I am using the Resco Today Plugin and have the SD Card problem occasionally. So, the Windows Default cannot cause that in my case. I tried a tool for advanced settings to disable the "stand by" mode of the SD card but that was not successful either. Anyway, if I just start the Explorer and access the SD card then things work again.

Btw, I just realized with V2 that if you enable the automated data connection then it seems that the phone tries to connect for some reason. That results in an increase battery consumption and heat-up of the phone. My guess is that the added MMS feature causes the connection attempt.

Cheers

vibra problems too...

Hi to all,

have the same problem! Does not work more vibra motor on my 5388++. I stripped the engine and connected directly to 4.5 volts, but is really dead.

I would like to buy a new one, but it's very hard to find, even over the vibra motor there' s no initials or numbers.

Any ideas please?

I can also send photos of the vibra....

Manila 2D

Does anyone have a ROM for the S650, which have included Manila 2D resolution 800 * 480?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BIG666:
Sounds like you don't use power button at all.

How quickly consumes the charge of your battery?

I'm using power button for put device to sleep to avoid battery consumption, also for lock device screen&buttons.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] MicAlter:
I'm using the power-button to save power, too.

In "Settings->Power->Advanced" I disabled both options.

But I don't know if the pressing of the power button now only turns off the display with both options disabled?

My phone runs for 2-3 days without recharging. But I have to say that I don't use the phone with wifi or gps enabled during this time. My GPRS connection will automatically disconnected after a small amount of time (Default is "Always stay connected").

@bgcngm:

Imho the auto-disconnect for an unused gprs connection is a better default. Maybe you can integrate this in your rom?

The only problem I have to solve is that I don't get a repeatable notification if the battery is low. I read about a registry tweak to enable the repeat option for the notifications but I've not checked them.

@bgcngm:

If this tweak will work it would be nice to have it integrated in the ROM.

To lock my phone I use the ThrottleLock app - it's great!

I just want to say that I won't be releasing any Extendir enabled ROM for the T5388++. In my latest tests it had some bad results. More to that, the developer of Extendir seems to have discontinued the project, which is a real pity.

Well, don't be sad, I will release a new ROM version this week. It seems very stable and it's based on a WM build that is really fast. :)

SMS-Fix for TAN messages

Hi bgcngm,

it would be nice if the "TAN messages fix" could be included (Source: Russian forum) in the next rom. What do you think? Imho it's more than just a "nice to have"-feature because it fixes an known error.

I've tested it and it works perfectly (with your Extendir Beta V1).

bye,

MicAlter
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bgcngm:
Of course I can integrate TAN messages fix into my next ROM. :)

As I told earlier, I'm about to release v3 and during my tests I have found something that I believe is important for users that are having SoD issues. The other day, I started to have several SoD's per day. I got intrigued and remembered that the SoD's started after I remove my SIM2 card (had to borrow it to a friend), boot the phone without it and then replace it again. I tried to clean both SIM1 and 2, clean SD card and slots contacts, but no matter what I did I had very frequent SoD's. Then I decided to reflash my phone and all the SoD's were gone, never came back.

In sum, I don't know if you flash the phone without SIM cards and / or without the SD card inserted, but it seems to me that the phone is very sensitive in respect to SIM and SD card replacements. I never had a SoD before because I always flash the ROM with IDT without removing SIM and SD cards.

Can you guys give me your feedback on this?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] MicAlter:
Fine :D

That sounds familar! When testing your Extendir V1 beta I had several problems (SDCard, SoDs) and gave you the feedback (PM 30/11/10) that I want to go back to the V3 beta. But first I reflashed the same ROM and disabled the Homescreen.

After doing that all my problems with my mobile were gone! No SoD''s, no sdcard problems....til today...

When I got the new ROM I will remember that and give more feedback...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
Can I ask what steps you used to apply this fix? I've tried it on my phone and it's made no difference. I ran the certs cab and then the fix, rebooted but I still can't get TAN messages.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] MicAlter:
Hi, sure...

First installed the "NewCerts.cab"

Reboot

Installed the "T5388++ SMS Fix v1.0.cab"

Reboot

When looking in my root folder (storage) I can find the file "RILRawSMS.txt".

In the registry I set the value "RawLogging" to 1 (Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\SMS).

Hope that helps. The (google-translated) russian description is also useful.

btw: I receive TAN messages from a german "Sparkasse".

hello guys...

i want to ask you a question

if i use o foil of alluminium for better gps reception is it possible that the foil can reduce the reception of the phone...and when i say reception i mean the gsm reception...the signal of the operator!

thank you about your answers
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] MicAlter:
Hi jimmykar,

I don't think so. I am using "a lot" piece of foil to enhance the gps reception and do not have problems with a weak gsm signal (on both sims).

What about a "live" test?

Go to a place where you know that the gsm signal is weak, e.g. basement. Then try to make calls using both sim cards. After that place the piece of foil behind the cover and try again and report your test result to the community.

It would be interesting to see your test results...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bgcngm:
You may have done something completely wrong. In my ROM there are no duplicated icons or contents in Portuguese. ROM is WWE only.
