Hi,
I need your suggestions. I have a T Mobile MDA Vario IV whose digitizer has given up on me. It basically doesnt register the correct input and sometimes it doesnt register anything at all. I have tried all the possible software tricks on it, to no avail.
The phone gave up on me after the first time I installed WM6.5 from NRG.
I cant replace the hardware as it is not available locally in Riyadh and any other way would be too expensive.
So now, I still want to make use of this phone which I used for hardly 3 months. Any suggestions other than using to assault HTC engineers.

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

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?
Hello,
I just started using HTC Tytn II and when I was out of UK, I needed to unlock the phone from Orange to enable me using it. I then sent it to a shop via a friend. Then I just realised when it got back to me, the software is a bit different - on turning the phone on it reads "HTC touch dual".
I suspect the person from the shop put the touch software in my Tytn.
So that was fine. I do not really have problem with it, in fact i get used to the function already. but i have problem to have my gps working. i could get the map on the phone, but the receiver doesnt work.
I wonder if anybody could help me, in plain term (i am not good with gadgets, softwares etc) direct me towards solving this problem.
do i need to change it back to the original software,and if so, how?
or how can i make my gps working?
thank you very much in advance =)

This isn't rocket science you can do it.
I do not think that this is a Rom issue, but a Radio issue, if you can check what radio you are using and make sure it matches the Rom, the instructions are there in the link that Fifa provided..
Hello,
I'm planning to get the xda serra - can I treat it like a htc branded touch pro and follow the rom and radio update instructions available here? or will i need to do different things?
Also are the sim unlock instructions same as a htc branded touch pro?
Could someone let me know.
Thanks.
I've just bought a serra but i'm scared to do anything with it.
could someone answer the question made by spark.
so no Serra users out there with cooked roms?
ive done it and its fine so far installed one rom 8 times with the updates,read the wiki and you will be fine,read about hard spl and read about it good-read twice if your not sure then the world is your oyster.just remember that if when you plug it it usb and it doesnt connect you can put it into bootloader mode and install a different rom if active sync doesnt work right.read about the differnet roms out there.
and keep checking the forum for updates etc.
best of luck and remember read about it before you do anything.
if your on o2 it should be unlocked anyway mine is, just use hard spl (hard spl for touch pro)for it dont use any other type eg... for htc diamond,touch etc as its only ment for the 1 model i think(iam i right guys).

Thank you for the answer (its given me the confidence to go buy one).
I'm going to get the Serra some time next week (now that i know the touch pro cooked roms will work). I'll probabily use the ROMeOS² version as it looks nicely cut down.
Yes, I'm using a cooked ROM on my Serra. Works a treat.
After reading all your replys i'm gouing to finally use a cooked rom on my serra.
I (like spark, sort of) have got a serra but never did anything with it. I never knew if i could just treat it like a touch pro (now i do).
Is there a original serra rom out there incase i need to put back back to its original state for warranty reasons? - i've browsed through the rom section but cant seem to see any.
The original XDA Serra ROM is available - see the link in the wiki.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael_WM6.1_ROMs
I did try a different ROM on my original XDA Serra - basically the original HTC ROM, but I did have lots of problems with GPS. It did turn out to be a hardware problem and my device has been exchanged, but until I am confident every feature is fully working I'm not going to change the ROM again. Plus, other issues my original XDA Serra had (such as device.exe errors on keyboard slide out, random freezes, running slowly) dont' seem to be issues on the new one.
See my signature - the O2 ROM only stayed on my device briefly - it was OK but GPS lock was a nightmare (although I see O2 have issued a fix now). I will be cooking my own once I get a little time, but found the PROven roms to be good bases.
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
Hello,
this is my first post and I hope, it is at the right position.
I bought a htc touch pro 2 one year ago with windows mobile 6.5. After a while it had more and more bugs. I wanted to install windows 7 which I can install freely (students account). I've tried it and got "Ungültige Verkäufer-ID". Therefore I thought I have to flash the cell phone. I've tried it and after a lot of tries, I found
HardSPL kit for Mega Touch2 by jockyw2001 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649780) and I thought it would work. Don't blaim me, yes, it did not.
I've opened a .bat-Datei (flash-hardspl.bat) and after about 1 minute, the screen was black and nothing works anymore. I've tried the hard and soft reset buttons. I pulled off the battery, tried to start it from sd-card. Nothing worked.
Is there any solution for me?
Thanks a lot so far....
Has anybody an idea?! I'm sorry, but I really do not know what to do or even if I can do anything.
