CECT W800

Helooo!
this is actualy my first post though I have been lurking for ages
proud owner of a HTC Wizard about to upgrade to the XDA orbit but thats not my question
recently came across this
http://cgi.ebay.com/CECT-W800-Touch...ryZ64355QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Looks like an Artamis but its it, another CECT clone of the orbit with no wifi but with built in GPS running WM5
anyone actualy bought one? I wonder if it could be upgraded in some way with a custom ROM to WM6?
not too botherd as going to get the Artamis anyway but may be intrested in buying it to experiment

same thought...
but still no answer found

Hi All,
This is my first time on here i've just got the CECT W800 as a christmas present and so far very happy with it. The onboard tomtom GPS works very well and it came with complete car kit and two batteries all for £138 inc postage from China. I've recently found out its a clone of the MDA Compact III, does anyone know of any other issues with this phone?
It came sim unlocked for any network and i put my virgin sim card in and it found all the correct setting for GPRS and MMS automatically.
Can anyone tell me if any of the iphone lookalike programs and skins would work with this phone pls?
Thanks Mick.

Have You eny problems with w800:
- with sms receive ?
- gsm module working after softreset ?

"Can anyone tell me if any of the iphone lookalike programs and skins would work with this phone pls?"
those programs and skins are generaly made for windows mobile and will generaly run on all devices which run windows mobile

Does the w800 have EDGE or just GPRS data? I'm looking in to getting one shortly and I won't even bother if it only has a GPRS radio.
How's the build quality and camera? Decent?

It's only gprs. Camera - phone quality
W800 hasn't any manufacturer support and has many bugs

what a shame... i could get past the bugs since SOMEONE's firmware ought to load on it but if the data is GPRS only, forget about it... too bad about it, the only other phone that I've seen that has built in GPS and doesn't cost an arm and a leg is the Pharos PTL600 for USD $469 with a $50 rebate. That's an ETEN rebrand, I believe.
the CECT w800 sounds (in theory) like a great device, is there a support website for it or does it just come out of a warehouse in Taiwan and that's it? I know CECT makes that knockoff iPhone that everyone has up on Ebay so they should be a fairly major company with at least a website.

I found cectelecom.com and qxmc.com as the Chinese and English webpages for CECT. Oddly enough, they don't list either this knockoff or the iPhone knockoff they sell. I'm going to shoot them an email and ask about the W800.

look this thread

Hi,
I have the CECT W800 and i'm very pleased with it. It comes with tomtom satnav which is very good and 1gig memory card. Try these websites www.cectstore.com and www.sourcinggate.com for more info.
Thanks Mick

GPS
Hi All,
Can someone answer does GPS navigation works without connecting external gps antenna.
I'm planning to buy one but i read that you must connect external antenna to have signal in navigation software.
BR

Hi,
Mine works without the external airel but it may take a bit longer to find a signal without it than it does with it, usually a couple of minutes. Where do you live? I'm in the UK and got the phone for xmas and very happy with it, if you need to know anything else about this phone let me know aand i'll try help.

I have this w800 and never used it. It came with its core language in Italian, a language I neither read or understand.
Is there anyone out there with an English rom for this damned thing.
Cheers all.

hi Lekkie,
Where did you get it from? I got mine from china via ebay and came in English, tomtom satnav was in chinese but changed it in the tomtom settings. I don't how you can get the rest of it in English maybe someone on here can help. I'll look through mine see if theres any language settings on it. Did you get a user manual with it? I got English version on CD rom i could send you file if you want, let me know.
Mick.

Hi guys,
Yes, got it through Ebay from some little chinese fella who has no idea about sending a phone with the right language for the country its being used in, its driving me crazy this damned thing.
I did get the manual, yes. That at least is in english, its the phone thats in italian.

Is there a way i could take a copy of the rom off mine and either send it to you by email or post it on here as mine is in English?

help!!
I set a pass code so it would lock and the pass code just quit working one morning anyone know a way to fix this?

Palm Treo Pro (850) Groups

So, XDA guys, when is a grouping for the new Palm Treo Pro gonna be setup?

WOW, i think this will be the KING OF DEVICES for now !
Some pictures: http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/palm-treo-pro-unboxing-and-hands-on/
Ik hope the XDA developers will find a working CAB-file for voip calling over wifi AND 3G, and by using the internal speaker.
The Treo Pro is manufactured by HTC, by the way. So i hope this will help.

if i were you i'd ask it in this forum
About xda-developers.com
Anything to do more with the site than with the phones. Feature requests, announcements, praise, moaning, etc.

Yep, it's going to be made by HTC. This device will ROCK!

Palm Treo Pro Forum
As it is produced by HTC, maybe the first step is to get a forum for it on XDA Developers ?

See the unboxing video: http://mobilitytoday.com/articles/palm_treo_pro_unboxed.html

This is the next God device.
Palm have the design right but in the past years they just seemed to pop out the same devices over and over. I'm glad to see Wi-Fi, GPS and power at last.
You can tap yourself in the back this time, you really deserve it!

http://blogs.zdnet.com/mobile-gadgeteer/?p=1387
"It looks like HTC made the Palm Treo Pro. I think this is great news for the Treo Pro buyer because HTC is a proven player in the touch screen Windows Mobile market. Another thing is that the excellent resources at XDA Developers may be able to support customizations of the device for those who like to tweak things."

up
and one more for the palm treo pro forum

O.K. I had the possibility to make a test with this device !
I can confirm: this is really the KING DEVICE for now ! It has a really perfect size in your hands. Less PDA and more smartphone (but with all PDA functionalities)
But bad news too: As it is produced by HTC voip calling has the HTC/Fring bug: it uses the speaker on the back and not the earspeaker which should be
Voip calling over 3G didn't work too: you can dial a number, you can pick up the other line and there is a connection, but the line is DEAD, no sound both connections
For testing I used this files: http://voipguides.blogspot.com/2008/05/voip-sip-client-for-windows-mobile-6.html

Has anyone else Pre-ordered they Treo Pro? I just ordered mine this week and can't wait for shipping. I have heard over on Treocentral that someone has already received the device. I am hoping that America side starts shipping next week!!

I have my Treo Pro for a few days now, I really hope there will be an XDA forum for the Treo Pro (850).
Meanwhile, I've started a new website with tips and tricks: http://www.treoprotricks.com

Another vote for a Treo Pro forum.
Mine shipped overnight on UPS to Chicago - just got tracking number!

i bought my treo pro yesterday and im pretty happy with it
there were several things i would have made in a different way like a mini-usb connector instead of an micro-usb one but at least its some standarized connector
still mini usb would be more practical
a seperate forum for the treo would be nice
right now i am fighting with the installations of my progs
most of the times an current version of software will solve problems with the 320*320 screen
one kind of program i am still looking for is a replacement for novii remote
i was hoping to be able to use the infrared port as a rc...

I just got mine a couple of hours ago, am enjoying playing with it. I too hope they start and Treo Pro forum...will be helpful.

als long as there is no new forum for this phone i will keep posting interesting stuff i find out about my treo pro here
one very annozing thing i found out was:
- while listening to music with the screen off i heard short interruptions which after i checked it occured exactly every minute
- to "fix" this you have to disable the screen saver (the clock and date display on the deactivated screen) in settings>system>power options (might be called slightly different but sorry i only have a german device)
this is a pity that you have to do this in order to listen to music without problems
but it annoyed me after a while that much that i finally can live with that

I have really enjoyed playing this this new toy this weekend (the heck with the homework!)
Anyway, a couple of things and maybe one of you can help me out. I so wanted to use UL but when I installed I can't see all of the configuration pages and there are no scroll bars for me to scroll down to finish the configuration. Very Frustrating.
Also I tried the RealVGA cab and it messed up my today screen really bad, plus it made everything so tiny I couldn't read it with out my reading glasses, not good for me. So that didn't work.
Also there is a huge lack of themes for the Treo, I never realized the huge difference between this and a regular 240x 320 screen.
Anyway for right now I am using Home++ Floyd Base Theme, and using SecondToday to run my WeatherPanel and FaceContacts.
So far I am liking this new toy...I am getting use to the keyboard but I will get there and I love the screen! I was actually outside today in the sun and could see it and read my emails!

^^exactly my thoughts too today
i also must admit that its a bit frustrating to see how many programs have problems with 320*320...
the good thing is that everything i need is available in a version which runs smoothly most of the times(except tomeraider3 which has graphic bugs and the search only works with the softwarekeyboard -.-)
i als might add that the audio skip problem occured to me while using mortplayer as my mp3 player app...
so far im still playing around with this little fella
what caught my attention was that the treo pro uses around 60mA of current while in my typical ebook reader setup(backlight dimmed to the max but stiil on)
this could mean a decent battery runtime but its hard to say after just 3 days
the first impression is rather positive though

Hummm will have to check out the audio players...I hate to say it but I just don't use that or video players I do like You Tube, but for music and videos I have my Zune.
I am having a problem getting my skyfire reinstalled...am still trying to get the kinks out of that one, and I have sent a request to someone to try and get a couple of themes made for this here new toy...since I am completely helpless with anything graphic. I have some new Dexter wallpapers and want themes made out of them and I got some great Icons for it too..I NEED to get this UL issue resolved so I can get this thing looking good or as the kids would say "I need to pimp out my phone"
EDIT: Here are a couple of screen shots not done yet

GPS Working
So I fired up his baby this morning, to check out the GPS. I use to use an external bluetooth receiver with TomTom on my T-mobile Wing. Usually took at least 2 minutes to get a signal. I turn on the TomTom this morning used other GPS Com4 and it took under a minute to get a signal in my apartment!! Way cool! So now I need to find a reason to go driving and get some use out of this.

AT&T Fuze vs Unlocked Touch Pro

If there was already a discussion about this I'm sorry. Apparently I suck at using the search feature...
I've wanted this phone for what feels like forever and will be given this as an early Christmas present in the next week, due to the issues of my failing Tilt. I can't decide if I should get the AT&T Fuze (I have AT&T now) or an unlocked version of the Touch Pro. I know it's the "same" phone but I also know the software/features differ. I tried to compare the two in the HTC Wiki but I know I can get much more useful information here.
1. Which unit would you recommend and what would I be giving up/gaining from either? I know the unlocked wouldn't have the AT&T specific software, not sure if that's good or bad.
2. Does the Fuze have a "flash" for the camera? Also, which unit has the better camera? It seems that the TP has more features, but slightly less MP.
3. Do they both support A2DP?
4. Frequencies confuse me! Quad-band, tri-band... bottom line which unit is faster & do they both support 3G (American version)?
5. Am I able to get Hotmail directly on either the Fuze or TP? Or is there software that enables me to? I'm running one of Dutty's fabulous ROMs on my Tilt now and love that I'm able to get Hotmail!
Sorry if any of these questions seem stupid- I'm fairly new at this & every time I turn around the new technology is way over my head! Any input/opinions/answers are greatly appreciated in helping me make a decision. Thanks!

Everythink is almost identical between the two except that the Fuze doesn't have the front camera and ATT customized it the way they wanted. They both support A2DP and Windows Live will get you Hotmail.

ok wow.. theyre exactly the same; except for one important aspect; the touch pro wont work on at&t 3G. there are other small cosmetic differences, and a different keyboard layout. yes the software is different, but thats not an issue, as u can flash any rom u want. in conclusion, get the fuze if u want to US 3G. do a google search next time please, these questions have been answered multiple times

Thanks for the info. I don't want to get my email via the web, which is why I asked. I want to be able to set it up the same way you can with yahoo or gmail.
Do you know if the Fuze has a "flash" for the camera. It isn't listed anywhere and I can't tell from any of the pictures.

I was hoping to not have to flash a rom to my phone this time. I guess no one will ever make a phone I'll be completely happy with right out of the box!
The answer to the 3G question pretty much made my decision then...

useless connectivity (wifi and bluetooth)

i have just got a t mobile MDA compact V aka a HTC touch diamond 2? anyway so far its useless.. bluethooth link to pc offers nothing but a serial conection,and from pc to phone i get the networking and file transfer. what the heck? my old artemis (xda orbit) had alot of things like the wireless stereo, HID options etc. and as for wifi, it seems to ignore the fact its connected to my home network (although it says connected) when using programs that need to go online, such as copilot amd the windows update. the phone has been fully reset back to factory settings. so whats going on here? is it because its a t mobile one that half of these things arnt on it? i would of thought the orbit would of been the same since its an 02 phone but nope it works better than this one!

um hello? lol you cant tell me not one of you know whats up here? how the hell can a phone from 2k6 out do, and have more features than a 2k9 one. WHATS WRONG WITH IT!!! also note, im using the same pc hardwere to talk to both phones and even a back up XDA mini, both xdas do everything well.
now, if i was to flash this thing, possably update tyo wm 6.5 (6.1 atm) would it, A. get rid of the t-mobile branding and B. work as you would expect it to!?
stress levels reising. please shed some light on this for me.
tia.

i forgot to follow this up for you all.. turns out there was indeed an issue with the softwere, somone may of tampered with it before and mesed things up. oh well i sold it to the local phone shop for almost what i paid for it so no loss

where are the android roms?
hi...
my sis is sending me her Touch Pro 2 on sprint.
i was looking to put android on it...
where are the android roms at???
did a search.. found nothing.
fwi... i have hero.. rooted and cm6 froyo

Hey Dan, You have to look in the Touch Pro 2 Section under Android Management. Here's the link to save time.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627997
Not everything works yet, the big things are Bluetooth, camera, and the keyboard lights. Otherwise most works and it's great!
Please make sure to read the FAQ's and search before you ask questions because a lot can be solved with the search option. If nothing else, send me a PM. I have the Sprint TP2 activated on Boost Mobile and running XDAndroid so hopefully I can help. Good Luck!

aoastill, check out these FAQ's and see if any of that will work. If not, we'll take it from there.
I'll just assume you're running XDAndroid?
http://sites.google.com/site/androidport/faq

tundemcdonald, I have had problems when my SIM card was in. I had to take it out for everything to work. it shouldn't affect your WIFI though. Check out the FAQ's I posted before and you should be able to get it working. You also need to get an update because they have updated since when you got yours. Hope this helps!

thanks man.. could not find it.
now... i have the HTC Hero which has android....
the TP2 looks like it has the same hardware specs...cpu and memory.
difference..
Hero has bigger camera
THP2 has bigger screen and keyboard.
I had thought the TP2 had better cpu and memory.. I was wrong. I am having issues.. with the Hero lag and performance.
will there be any benefits with android on TP2??

To be honest, what the developers are doing is incredible, but I'd prefer to have the stock android phone. Idk if it's the sense of comfort that it's "official" or what.
The only benefits I can think of is the customizations. Such as overclocking, and all that stuff. The problem with it is it's obviously a work in progress, so you won't have the camera, bluetooth, etc. I know that's been a problem for me lately. I need the camera quick and when I get my phone out, I remember it doesn't have a camera But I think you'd be happier with the stock one compared to XDANDROID. But for the phones that don't have Android, it is wonderful.
And to comment on your statement about the RAM and processor. They both have the same processor and amount of RAM. The Hero has a better camera, but otherwise, everything is bigger and better on the TP2. And I like the TP2's slide out keyboard

So what you are saying is that there's no way to use a cdma tp2 (sprint version) in gsm mode (as my carrier is orange dominicana so it is gsm only ) on android? I tried android once and I could not get signal, but I thought it had something to do with the fact that I didn't look too much into the configuration I just wanted to see how it performed. if that's so then I think I won't be using android on my tp2 as it is my main phone now and without gsm support (as of now, ) it serves for testing purpose only, anyways the devs are doing a greeeeat job, I'm sure it'll improve over time.

No, that is not what I mean at all. We just have to figure out why yours isn't working. So I can understand what setup you have, do you have the startup utility in windows to boot into Android? Or are you going and opening haret.exe? If you are using the startup utility, go into the settings and make sure CDMA, and N. Am. Dial are checked off.
Also make sure you have the latest rootfs. Go to this site, http://files.xdandroid.com/rootfs/ and download the latest one. Rename it as rootfs.img and copy it to the andboot folder on your SD card. It'll replace the old one and that has the latest stuff in it. Give all that a try and see if it doesn't work then.

Thanks, i'll try that, (although I have a version that is about 2 weeks old, so maybe outdate issues can be ruled out, lol) I think that I checked the cdma thing when I tried it mainly because I have heard that in WM if you go gsm on a cdma phone you'll brick it so I didn't want to take any chances, next time I try I'll make sure to check off the cdma box, I'll give it a try later and will come back to report, I'm such a noob...

Hey you're doing fine. I have the CDMA version of the TP2 and I had a lot of bugs to work out. I guess it's tougher to get it working on that than a GSM phone. I still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing lol.
