Hello everyone,
Just picked up my first ever PPC and soooooo excited. I've been using nokia phones for over 10 years and finally changed. I was going to get the Tilt but someone on a local forum was in desperate need of cash and sold it to me for $550, and it was only used for 3 months.
Looking forward to make some changes to the phone.
BTW i'm from Canada
welcome enjoy ur tytn xD
welcome... hmm 550 canadian dollars im guessing... I hope its not worth a lot, because you'll see how the lack of video drivers will piss you off... you should have waited for sony ericsson xperia...
Congrates. It takes a while to get used to, but you can customize it almost perfectly to your tastes.
yes 550 canadian...i wanted experia but i was dying to get one.
hopefully i can customise it to my needs
just have to do lots of reading before I get into ROM cooking etc etc...i'm still a n00b...learning what they all mean haha

Hi!
I just got a phone bought in Dubai, that appears to be a iphone clone. The problem however is that i can't figure out which one this is. I've tride to open the phone, read trough the manual, tried MyPhoneExplorer in help of identifing it, with no luck.
Does anyone have any idea about some tools, something to figure this out? I can't even figure out which OS its running.
Yeah, im a newbie.
Thanks in advance.
Welcome to forums
This is an HTC devices only forum, hope someone can point you to the right place but do not expect too much as apart from not being HTC also is a copy
Good luck,
Thanks for your reply
True, i also have a touch diamond, thats why i love this place =)
just threw in a longshot in hope of someone having the knowledge of some tools or any advice at all regarding this strange device.
well what comes up when you plug the phone into your computer? (i'm assuming you have an appropriate cable).
I have several choices i.e mass storage etc, but the COM connection displays as a "MTK6255" which my OS (win7) dont recognize.
MTK6255 is the platform on your phone.
Try using the MTK driver from here:
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=540559
might be a meizu m8...i have one
Don't think so. The M8 runs on Windows CE platform as described here:
http://www.techtickerblog.com/2009/02/09/meizu-m8-review/
i think i just found your phone here:
http://www.downtownkey.com/hiphone-3g-music-cell-phone-support-mp3mp4-bluetooth_p7403.html
Note the CPU.
SciPhone?
It might be a SciPhone.
This guy put together a review of a lot of the iPhone clones: http://home.comcast.net/~plutarch/Sciphone-i68.html.
There is a forum for SciPhones, http://www.mysciphone.com/English_Sciphone_Forum/index.php. I'd check that out too.
The MTK processors are really, really, really slow and do not run Windows Mobile.
I have a CiPhone C5, which runs on a 450MhZ Samsung Processor with Windows Mobile 6.1 OS. Much better than any of the phones you'll find at mysciphone.com. xda-developers.com has been amazing for learning how to use and modify my phone.
Welcome to the forum
---------------------
Please guys!
Do not buy copies, they are cheap, bad quality and not long lasting
Buy the original stuff!
Thanks so much for replys guys, really appreciate it.
For the Sciphone i68-3G, its identical in looks, but i dont have any 3,5mm Jack
Whereas to the hiphone, I found this:
"How to find HiPhone firmware version
Call #*44673#1# and press "version info". You should now see the firmware version of your HiPhone."
Which dont work for me...
thesecondsfade: Is the MTK processor really that sucky? I really dont think i will be using this phone anyways, but I really just want to explore and learn as much as i can. But if it is that crap, i guess i cant do anything
I may have forgotten to mention that i found somewhere in the manual where it stated "mini iphoen" "mini iphone". -But aint so mini imo..

I know it's probably not as high quality as some of the other retail phones available on long data/phone contracts with the US cell phone companies, but I just can't afford that. I really wanted a new Windows Mobile phone without having to sign up for an expensive plan to get it... so I bought the CiPhone C5. I did a lot of research before buying it.

It's probably the i68+, not the i68+3G. The 3G model has the 3.5mm jack, the i68+ doesn't.

I had one for about a month and it was too slow for my tastes. The firmware was flawed as well. There is a website you can upgrade your firmware, but that'll cost you another $40 bucks or so... probably not worth it but you can decide that for yourself.

The Chinese clones are known to be sketchy when it comes to their manuals... or even in their descriptions of what they're selling. Most sellers just try to say whatever they can to sell the phones without really knowing what exactly they're selling.

Didnt work.
I guess ill sell this and buy the proper phone, HTC Hero
The only other dail code I know for the clones is *#433943#.
this works
*#11*# gives you the software version
that post... are you serious? Cause I would understand if it wasn't intentional... but...
that's just pure fail, in all it's beauty.

Hi,
I bought a Chinese phone, a clone of the Blackberry HS 9500 I think (looks like the Blockberry 9500 clone) and it has the Engrish manual as you might expect.
Given that I set my aims before purchase (I wanted a cheap dual SIM and not much else besides a media player, basic camera, bluetooth … couldn't care less about the TV/FM and so on) and, it isn't bad but the media player is fairly rubbish inasmuch as I have no idea how to get it to play a track (pref. a series of tracks).
A colleague, though, intrigued me with talk of alternate OS's for phones and given that its OS is by far the worst part of the phone (not bad but not good either) I wondered if cheap phones of this kind can be given a new OS and, if so, how I go about it?
Thx for any advice

I bought mine from Bigboxstores and within a week it had a dead pixel on screen. I emailed them and said I was returning it for a refund. I packaged it exactly as it was received and it was in mint condition. A whole month went by and I kept emailing them and asking if they had it, eventually they said they did and were checking it. I eventually got an email saying 'sorry no refund, phone works fine, has a few marks on it, thank you'.
No offer to exchange it or anything. I have resigned myself to the fact I have lost my money. Such terrible customer service and using a pony excuse to avoid refunding me. It's not like I'm gonna travel to China to get my money back.
My advice is steer clear of copies and do NOT buy from Bigboxstores as if there is problem with your phone, you will NOT get your money back.

ok so i got the motoblur on my phone to as what i read about flashing roms. then all i got was a motorla icon on the screen for like about 20 mins. so i thought i need a different spl and i put it on there now my g1 wont do anything. cant go into recovery rom or anything.help please
If you can't get into either bootloader (camera and power) or recovery (home and power) then you have a brick.
Tell your provider that you got an update then your phone wouldn't reboot.
you mean tmobile will sned me a new one my mom has a g1 she dont use cuz she bought a mytouch3g. i'll just use that if i cant fix mine. i just like mine better cuz it has invizible shield
dude it wouldnt have even flashed if you didnt have the right spl. you said that you had the spl because you had the hero roms on the other thread. the loop was probably caused by not wiping.
tmobile will replace it so call them. dont tell them you flashed anything though....just say it messed up during an update
Did you by chance leave the app_s folder from Hero on your ext? I've seen that cause problems too. Why are people so quick to switch spl? I flashed mine to the Danger (aka "Noob blaster"[SIZE=-2]©supremeteam256 [/SIZE]) spl a couple days after it was released, and it's worked fine ever since. I haven't found a rom yet that won't run on it.
You should still get the bricked one replaced if you can. It never hurts to have a spare around. [SIZE=-2][/SIZE]http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=510527
I stlill say never flash without making a backup, and NEVER flash unless you KNOW you can recover from it....READ and LEARN before you FLASH ANYTHING!!!
You don't. Go buy an iPhone you moron.
I have noticed a lot of iphone users ARE NOT tech savvy...also known as a penis phone in south eastern mn....mines bigger than yours!!!! (My G1 of course)

LOL - What's an iPhone fan doing here anyways? I mean everyone's welcome but don't diss xda or call ANYONE FOR ANY REASON a "moron", it's just plain rude...
Personally I love WM with all the good & the bad, it's all part of the fun of flashing & tweaking & messing up & then flashing again
As for HTC, I've become so loyal to them, and it's not for their devices or support, it's only because this great community exists that keeps breathing in new life to every single phone, and that keeps bringing out the best in them, and continously provide support to each other. Ofcourse the device & OS are structured in a way to allow that to happen, so they deserve lots of credit as well!
Anyways that was my opinion, but in short...toolbox123 would really appreciate if you can keep the forums decent.
Thanks!

Apparently you haven't read the "motoqliq" thread....
Greetings everyone,
Well, Please know that I'm just placing an idea here and it's up for discuss before executing.
We (Users) sometime see those new atrix roms posted here and we think.. Oh! I don't want to flash a new rom now because I need my phone up and running or because we don't have the time.. But... I was just thinking then how it is for the devs??!
I'm talking especially about Ririal and Kennethpenn. Wouldn't it be easier and more convenience for them to have another Atrix phone beside theirs to crap the hell out of it testing new things for next rom changes and added features for all of us? + It still makes a nice gift for all the great work they have done here for all of us.
I was thinking that a new off-contact Atrix 4G at amazon wireless costs $600 USD.
So if we said each contribution is $20. then we need 30 donations each to buy an Atrix. 60 to buy two, for Riral and Kennethpenn.
That is just one suggestion on how donations are divided. I'd like members opinions as well Riral's and Kennethpenn's response about the idea.
Thanks.
I think its a great idea/gesture. I just wish I had done money to donate. Switching jobs now. Hopefully I'll be able to contribute soon.

I would much rather get it into the hands of people like Quarx, who are working on 2nd Init or the Devs who think they might have a chance to bypass or crack the bootloader. Like the guy that cracked the Xperia X10 bootloader.

I'm with you on this one. Most of the guys here probably have a backup phone to use if things go downhill while deving.
What a nice gesture, guys. This is really kind of you to think about.
However, I strongly reject the idea that any Atrix devs need an extra phone. With the exception of kholk, who is working hard on the bootloader (if he's still working on it), none of us are at risk for bricking our devices. Save your money or donate to the themers and MOD creators instead.

He has a dev atrix and a couple of guinea pigs already, still actively working on it.
well i want to get the evo 3d but im stuck on a 2 year contract so if I sell the phone for 600 i can pay 300 to cancel contract and 200 for the evo 3d...hm oh wellz. XD

Best ROM developer on Xperia X10 and since x10 has an locked bootloader I think atrix is like this phone.

Almost all bootloaders are locked. Its the signing/encrypting that is the problem not the lock.
Appreciate the gesture guys. The kind of work we do, at it's worst, will require a reflash. While a second device would be nice to have (Atrix is my main device, so every time I mess up I get to wipe all personal settings ), it's not really needed. If you want to contribute, the donations you guys already send us are more than enough.
Thank you. it was just an idea.
Because we know how it must suck to have your device offline and in the bed-test for too long in order to bring those goodies for us.
I hope you guys will continue supporting the Atrix after a method to bypass the bootloader is achieved. It must be a harder work if it was a full-featured rom, so maybe we will re-open this subject then.
Thanks.
Well if new phones do come out, some employees at certian national retailers do get discounts on phones. I know at some places this can be $200. Where I work the atrix was about $200 off for an off-contract phone. So if in the furture a new phone does come out that the devs need then it might be a good idea to try that route. Also, since it is considered a "gift" than it should not be breaking any internal rules of any kind.
I donated to tenfar specifically so he could get a phone. anyone know if he still around?

yep x10 is signed/encrypted just like Atrix and now x10 has nice gingerbread roms, MIUI and CM

Partially true. The security on the x10 is very different than the security on the Atrix. Motorola seem to be the only people who are able to do it properly
hey everyone glad to be a member again well glad to come back.
i was in a horrible accident in 2012 and with all the damage somethings in my life got turned upside down like everything lol. so before my accident i developed software. so my thought is to try to develope again. so i want to develop for the phone and the tablet any help or information in getting back into that would be awesome and links that can be provided or any suggestions would rock.
my goal is to get the hardware needed which that is a no brainer i am going to buy a tablet (yes the cheapest one i can find) and i am going to buy a smartphone. and i am going to get another laptop (yes just for development reasons)
now i have a few ideas on software to develop which no reason to get into bu what development tools should i start with and while i am not made of money are there free versions. i have been considered disable so would there be a discount if any for that reason?
i am just tying to get back into doing something can yall help a computer nerd out?????????

What do you want to develop ?
Developing software is a pretty vague term .
You don't really need a new laptop just for developing software.
For Android you can use Eclipse + ADT plugin or Android Studio . Both of these are free to use.

Need help with your Kindle Fire HD 2013? Mention me and i'll help
Been here since 2014
As advice mention me if you need help and you need me.
not sure what i want to develop i want to make sure i can still program so i would be willing to create anything that interest me really. i am a gamer so maybe in that direction but i am also into other things so who knows what software i want to create.
the reason i am getting another laptop is to have some development hardware and then i would have a total of 3 laptops so my thought is 1 laptop to develop android software on the other laptop to be used for watching my netflix lol then the laptop i am on now would be used for research and sending emails and posting the way i am doing now so on the development laptop i can have the development going while at the same time researching a problem or looking for something to add to the idea of what i am doing. plus the 2 laptops i have now are old they are like 4 years old which isn't bad but with the prices at best buy now less then $300.00 can get another laptop that is very useable
