yup Windows Mobile 6 pro is running on the i300 the (free upgrade from gigabyte)
http://www.gigabytecm.com/Turkey/WM6/
http://www.gigabytecm.com/turkey/WM6/download/GSmarti300_V2.02.04_ENG-Turkey.zip
so far so good
Working good the update?
No problems at al?
one thing i noticed of the bat was MS active sync program is slow.... i guess they have to fix it up, when its doing the sync its taking a lot longer, and if it doesnt work with outlook, i found the fix and this was for wm5 and wm6 is that in outlook if you download all your mail and then hit the sync button, in outlook it will then work with active sync, its a known issue i think with some older outlook ver :/
but ya right now with wm6 it lags a bit in the connection activation, i think as far as the speed its the same speed as before, its just annoying, i might try the active sync beta that is out
the os seems more responsive, i have yet to test the gps and wifi or IE
I can get working GPS
SiRFDemoPPC.zip dl that from the manu run it until u get signal if not, in settup switch to binary mode and do a col reset or reset manu settings then switch back to nmea, it can take a while, play around with it, i know that if i can get a lock with that program then i can get lock with others after i exit this one
oh the device on i300 is GSW3
Hi, just a few questions.....is the I300 as a phone any good?....is the call quality on both ends clear etc?.....and also the back speaker, is it loud?.....i am looking at getting this phone but i would like to know the above first if anyone can answer these questions for me......also does anyone know the correct gps settings to get tomtom 6 to work?.......thanks in advance!!!
Cheers
irv777
as far as quality i think its same as any other phone quality... no diff from my other phone, (moto v300) the speaker is a loud speaker ya you can play games or mp3s etc... and its loud enough IMO, but there is only so much volume and quality of something of that size, regardless of phone IMO unless a phone has stereo, but this and most phones is mono 1 speaker, the headset is stereo and BT can be stereo too
Thanks for the reply, what about tomtom 6?.....does it work with this phone and what are the ps settings to get a proper fix?.......thanks again in advance.
i havent tried tomtom6 but some ppl have i believe on this device, IMO should work just fine
http://www.gsmarena.com/gigabyte_g_smart_i300-1817.php
yeah i was just reading some reviews on it from the gsmarena website.....how are you finding the battery life though?......is battery life better with WM6 or WM5, any differences?....thanks
well i really want the 1300mah battery, but i havent been able to see one, maybe they will release one later, or some other third party will
wm6 i think might give better battery life but mostly on idle or low activity, if you run anything intensive then i dont think there is anything that will save your battery hehe the charging seems faster or it could be just me
and for the rest i think you have to get some nice tweaking util to really optimize any PPC, i for one havent bothered much... everything is installed on my miniSD card
i think since its a free upgrade its quite worth it, all the small changes to all the apps is big
i cant really say a whole lot for wm5 vs wm6 becaues i havent been using either one long enough, some other vets could have a diff opinion im sure
i think its sad that any PPC if you use anything like Wifi, GPS or if you had a TV it kills the battery life very quick... same for if you try to run something that takes up all the resources (cpu) it does about the same... i was playing the sega emu and it did drain battery life but not as bad as wifi, gps does, mp3 playback takes even less cpu, as far as movies i dont know but i think it would be a little more then mp3 depending what its encoded i think
but for movies i can use my cowon D2 PMP
btw my i300 came with 2x 900mah batteries i dont know about others but most ppl said so, those that they got from ebay
could anyone export the i300WM6 registry and post it here, please?
GPS icon in settings > connections
I have enabled GPS icon in settings > connections. Programs now can not use built in GPS. Could you please post the registry keys and values in the following location:
HKLM\Control Panel\Gps Settings\
Thanks.
How do I get the voicemail indicator to work on my Gigabyte i300? I am using ATT and it doesn't ever tell me about new voicemails nor waiting voicemails.

Sorry balikci, just saw your post today.
I did not upgrade my i300 (so, English WM5 firmware so far).
There is not such an entry (HKLM\Control panel\GPS Settings\) in my registry file!
GPS is not working with Wm6 firmware version?
GPS works perfectly fine in wm6, also the think outside ultra slim BT keyboard does work with this device you need 4.52 driver i think and disable the standard devices hid driver or so... its a check box when you run it for the first time, and then it works just right
I300 seems to have over exposure issue with the camera in wm5 and wm6, in very bright sunny area, after the first picture all pics are over exposed, if you close the app and start the first picture works perfectly but others that fallow do not... it must be a driver/software issue
could somebody help me with taking device into bootloader mode? i want to upgrade to WM6
in it's official website , it says you need to push Send End and power key , while the device is off.
first , what is send and end keys? green and red ones?
second , which one is power key? the suspend key or the soft reset hole key?
third , what does it mean by turning device off ? suspend it or turn it off completely , if so how?
and , is this ROM
http://www.gigabytecm.com/Eng/gbc_supportdetail.aspx?sid=26
WWE , i heard there are certain parts non english , which is okey , but if you know of any full WWE link , please let me know
cheers
king_dani, Send (green) is what you use to aswer a call, End (red) is what you press to end a call. Power key's the suspend key. Turning device off means turning it off compleatly, just hold the power key to turn the device off. The rom you gave the link to is WWE.

thnx alot man , so at least i know i'm pushing the right keys. well i tried these combination , in completely shut down device , still, it turns on and won't go into bootloader mode , for some yet unknown reason. plus , do you know if i should empty the whole card ? or can i use a partially loaded miniSD card? i mean , would it work if there are other files on it , and also , should they files be on root folder?
cheers
try another combination: turn the device on, hold Send and End keys, do a soft reset (don't release send and end buttons!), wait for Image Utility. All files from a downloaded archive should be placed in a root folder (/Storage card). It's Ok if there're files on a card.
Ok so here is my question
I just got me a Lg Fathom
With WM 6.5.3
Most of the apps, themes and what not are for HTC phone
So my question is very very simple
What can I do to my Lg Fathom?
I want to customize it to make it look hmmmm not so default looking
I see many things on this site but I am very unsure what I can and can't do
Please help me
Maybe link me to a few things that will help me in learning wm6.5.3
thanks
bhast2
Is there anyone that can help me
I would like a custom rom or something anyone point me in the right direction
I am currently also thinking about buying a Fathom. Since its the only available 1Ghz phone with keyboard and headphone connector (no radio and with that not TMC data for navigation though).
But yes...what can you do with it. Ist it possible to run Android like on other HTC phones? What about underclocking the CPU in standby like nuedynamicclock, i suppose it wont work with the snapdragon?

Load androkkid freeware on your fathom. It may give you some feeling that you are running android on your phone
pocketpcfreeware.mobi/download-androkkid.html
Very funny..i'm thinking about this phone because its one of the fes 1ghz, real keyboard windows mobile phones. If id want android i could buy something else...but android sucks..
I dont understand software but have lots of intrest. I was using T mobile wing and with the help of this website I downloaded some kitchen and I have customised my ROM. Now I have again purchased LG Fathom. I too looking for some enhancemnt/upgradations/customisation. If you find something you can let me know.
Sorry for giving you funny answer:

Have you tried looking over at the other place?
(ppcgeeks) is one of the few sites that will help the unfortunate owners of this fine device.
I was able to use a program called quick menu (found here, I think).
Then overide the start button to kill the native start menu.
This is about all one cando to gain about 45 mb of ram.
Now that L(low) G(grade) has been invaded by north korea or something, the "Updater" now borks my USB connections. You can't revert back to v5, so we are stuck with buggy v7 and data that keeps disconnesting.
Vomitrizen won't support this device even tho it's still sold on their site.
====================================================
UPDATE: Emergency Download Mode Code
Since the "New & Improved" crap for an update utillity forced itself upon my PC,
I'm sure that at least 50 of us have suffered through this.
I found this:
http://www.lg-phones.org/lg-fathom-v...comment-page-1
Mauricio on 9 July, 2011 at 8:56 pm # How to enter into LG Fathom VS750 Emergency Download Mode Steps:
1. Turn off the LG Fathom VS750
2. Press “5″
3. Press “Power button” while “pressing 5 ” keystrokes.
4. Check the front LED is green and the screen displays “Emergency download.”
You can now connect your phone using the USB cable and use fashing tools to fix your LG Fathom VS750.
Caution: Remember to backup your files before flashing. This will erase all of your personal data.
And guess what, this actually works...
Just try it and see. If you want to abort the download, just tap the reset button...
Who ever wrote that bit about "pull the battery, then press a few buttons---- HOLD IT RIGHT THERE ---
What is going to happen with battery out of the unit?
You could press the Davinci Code and nothing will happen without power...
Unless you posses the "Glowing One Perk".
Pluging the power cord into a unit without the battery only prompts you to "Insert a Battery".
So, MUCH THANKS to Mauricio.
I have been searching for this code for some time now, but for some reason it finally apeared.
Now if only some developers would find it in their hearts to help us root this baby, "Oh Happy DAY".
ENJOY..
If ya wanted a new look you could install Wisbar Advance Desktop or ThrottleLauncher, both fully customizable and a lot nicer looking that SPB Mobile Shell IMO.
Froyo NAND ROM for Flytouch2 by Stragulus
Video demonstrating how to flash the tablet after having created the bootable SD-card: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47kf4-Vbba8#t=3
RELEASE NOTES
Please provide feedback if things work, or do not work for you.
If it eats your tablet, don't blame me. I deem it low-risk though, if it fails you can reflash it using burntool or another bootable sd-card just like before.
INSTALLATION
Installation is slightly different from normal releases because it requires flashing in 2 steps. Luckily, it's really easy:
1. Download bootable SD-card image and unzip: http://www.mediafire.com/?4quqzqyce9eje7a
2. Write image to an SD-card that's at least 1GB in size using WinHex:
Get WinHex here: http://www.winhex.com/winhex/
In WinHex: tools, disk tools, clone disk
Choose file from zip (sdcard.img)
Choose the sd card as your destination
Start sector: fill in 0, also make sure the directories are correct on left
When finished, take out the card.
In linux, you just unzip the file and use dd to write it to the sd-card:
Code:
dd if=/path/to/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX # (where sdX is your scsi disk device, check dmesg)
3. Turn off tablet and put sd-card in TOP slot (between the 2 usb ports).
4. Turn on tablet. It will report that it is booting off the sd-card, and that it's flashing kernel + filesystems.
5. Take out the sd-card when the tablet asks you to do so (takes less than a minute). Put it in the OTHER sd-card slot (bottom one), and reboot the tablet by holding down the power for 10 seconds to turn it off, then press it again to turn it on.
6. You will now see the tablet booting with a *GREEN* screen. The screen will flash twice to indicate it's starting. The flashing itself will take longer than in the previous step, a few minutes. If succesful, it will automatically reboot, after which you're done and you're booting the new firmware! You'll see a different boot screen (equalizer on a black background)
7. After it has booted and you have unlocked the screen, reboot the tablet first thing! First boots in android always tend to be behave erratically. This is unrelated to this firmware and applies to all Android setups.
If step 6 fails (which is very unlikely), it will stay on the green screen and it will keep on flashing the screen. In that case, you'll have to turn it off. Most likely problem for this is a corrupt SD-card. See troubleshooting below.
Make sure to never put that sd-card back in the top-slot without erasing it first, as it will reflash your tablet!
TROUBLESHOOTING
The 'green screen' keeps flashing!
The installer will dump a text file on the root of the sd-card which you can inspect. The file is called fail_reason.txt. If no such file exists, things are seriously wrong and the tablet couldn't even properly write to the sd-card. If using another SD-card, or rewriting the SD-card doesn't help, please upload the fail_reason.txt file here.
Flashing was succesful, but the system doesn't boot up!
The installer dumps one or more text files on the root of your sd-card during the 'green screen' flashing stage. Upload all these files and link to them here.
TODO
Find out why some users can't get past the android boot animation despite seemingly succesful flashing
Rewrite instructions for creating the sdcard @ windows
Figure out why Titanium Backup doesn't work
(**) Tested:
wifi, ethernet port
battery status works, g-sensor works
touchscreen works (precalibrated, you cannot recalibrate it using the settings app)
HD video playback works (I recommend Meridian player)
Market works (full)
angry birds works ( thought I'd mention it )
The firmware has already been rooted! You can connect using adb over wifi, and type 'su' to become root. Find your IP address using the Android System Info app.

You can look up the specs here.
Just got one yesterday, and so far I would say it is a very nice unit.
Everything is very responsive compared to other android tablets I have tried.
The book reader is very nice, and the video player is great. Played a 900mb divx movie without a hitch.
Market works good on this unit also.
My only problem is that when I try to run the system update.apk that came on the unit it asks for a license. A 20 digit code. If I select register later it will not allow for update check because it says it is an unincorporated device.
Like I said earlier market works fine, have downloaded several apps.
I even tried the market fix for the Zenithink ZT-180 from this forum hoping if I inserted a new androidID I could check for updates. No luck.
Any ideas?
Do you know where I can find updates and roms for this unit on the internet?
I got the system update.apk from the root and thought maybe I could check somehow where it was pointing the tablet to look for the updates. Is this possible?
I am currently running dory-r2.1.925 and kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1

Nice to hear! Your problem with the license-code is a known issue, many people have that problem. Just ignore for it now, the manufacturer said their will be a new ROM which doesn't ask for it.
Thanks for providing a resource for this machine.
Will the rom updates be posted here when they are made available or can you direct me to the manufacturers website, as I can not update via the system update app?
ROM's will be posted here, but those websites are:
Gome www.gome.com.cn
InfoTM www.infotmic.com.cn
As soon as there is a new ROM, i will update this topic.
Just ordered one. I sent back my broken ZT-180 and they are sending me a discounted FT2. A few questions:
1) The ZT-180 didn't have a true sleep mode. Does this?
2) The ZT-180 only has a 3-Axis accelerometer, making it useless for apps and games that use the g-sensor (it just has screen rotation). How's this one?
3) How's the battery compare? The last one was terrible.
4) Does it seem faster? Slower? Same?

It's already shipped, so I get it in 3 days. But maybe 'cjadams51' can provide this info sooner.
It's a bit of an odyssey to order one here in Germany, but I started collecting material and info related to the FlyTouch2:
onderka.com/inhalt/gome-flytouch2-android-tablet/
The system/board-codename is "Emma", and I'm so curious how development of this thingy will turn out.
On this site that sells the FT2, I asked the following and got answers:
Does the g-sensor work in games, or does it just have auto-rotation?
Does it have a sleep mode?
Administrator yes, it can play g-sensor games.
yes, it has sleep mode also.
Thanks

Anyone got some informations about of there will be a constant firmware improve like the zt-180? And if there maybe release the code
Gsensor works fine in the game labyrith. The screen however when playing this game does not display in full screen mode, only about quarter screen. I assume because it was designed for phone, but gsensor seems as responsive as playing it on my phone. The only draw back to the tablet so far is the battery life could definitely be better. I have not messed with gps that much. I am also trying to get it to work with my 3g mobile broadband card. I have a 595u card from sprint. Would love to be able to plug into usb and have internet on the go.
Any suggestions to get this going. When I plug in it is not reconized in the 3g settings.
Really enjoying ebook reader and movie player.
Not sure what you mean by true sleep mode. It does seem to go to sleep (screen turns off) when inactive.
In fact using it now on wifi to browse this forum hoping for rom update.

Well, that could only mean one of two things:
1) It's incorrectly listed as 3-axis.
2) It is what I've suspected all along. That Zenithink, with their 3-axis ZT-180, got it wrong when they blamed it on the g-sensor. The ZT-180 can indeed make use of the g-sensor in games, it's just Zenithink's incompetence that's holding it back.
As for true sleep, the ZT-180 doesn't have one. When it times out, the screen goes darker but there's still some light. It never goes totally black unless the unit is powered off, or dead.
Zap!: It's not one of two things, it must be both things
cjadams51: Can you tell more about the battery life? How many hours can you use it?

The battery life varies of course depending on what your doing. w/ wifi on and surfing maybe 1.5 - 2 hours. As an ebook reader with no wifi over 2 hours.
I am also noticing that the battery gauge is a little sporadic and does not seem always be dependable or accurate. I need to install a battery info app, so I can get a better idea.
The gauge currently reminds me of sometimes when I install a new rom on my mt3g the battery guage seems to be sporadic before it settles down and becomes a more reliable. Still getting a feel for it. It could also be that I am using a little more than I think, I just know that I've gotten hit with the 15% battery warning several times, and it seems like I had not been using it that much.

I have ordered today from minideal too.
Let's see..
The latest firmware for the G3S is dated 20130523. That's just 2 weeks old. Andorid 4.2.1 with Kernel 3.4.5. There is nothing close from 3rd parties for the G3, so for the moment I stick with that. It's kinda hybrid with LewaOS as it seems, has the themes, launcher, some other files. Fully rooted, so it's simple to get rid of the few Chinese apps if you don't need them.

I ordered my Jiayu G3S from Aliexpress (1.06) and he should ship to me tomorrow, or day after tomorrow. After that I will report you, whats goin on
First of all GPS works perfect (some of users report gps fix issue) now everything works fine. My Jiayu ships to me with Android Jelly Bean 4.2.1, 3.4.5 Kernel, and Root Access on board. No bug as far, Antutu v3.3.1 Bench result : 12 813. My last smartphone was SGS+ and I must say Jiayu G3S got way better price/quality relationship. So far 5+ this is my rate from 1 to 6.

Cool, a G3S owner! Would you mind answering some questions about the device?
Can you please check if the compass works correctly? (Use GPS status or Google Sky map - the view of the sky should adjust according to where you're pointing the phone).
Also, shops mention the G3S has a gyroscope too. I don't know any apps that actually use it to accomplish something, only device-testing apps (Z-device test, many other, similar apps). Would you mind checking if that works?
The wired headset - I assume the bundled headset is a typical "android" one, stereo phones + mono mic + 1 button. Does the button get registered - can you control music playback (play/pause) with it when the screen is off?

Be my guest
1. Indeed compass works fine, I checked it on Google maps and Google Sky Map.
2. Yes it has gyroscope I checked it as you suggested on Z-Device.
3. And YES button is registered: I can control playback (play/pause) normally and also when the screen is off, Answering calls, Pick the last number from calls and call, make all things as you always do with android
I tried Gta3 from market, it works with full details with no lag! Dead Trigger full details - extra smooth, everything on this phone works ideal - extra smooth this is the best word to describe this device. Trust me on word.
Im still testing new things, if u have more questions? Ask me

That's great (I should have asked these before I bought my A789, which I'll be replacing with either G3S or G4 advanced)
I'm not sure what is the "standard way" for a notification LED to behave on Android, but my old Blade would start blinking green on ANY notification and blink red on low battery. I addition to that, it would stay red when charging and charge was below 90%, and stay green when charge was >90% and was plugged in.
What can the LED on the G3S do - can it also convey charging state as it does on the Blade?
Beyond the notification LED, I'm mildly interested (I assume it either works or won't be a problem to fix myself) in the following:
The ROM partitioning - how large is the /data partition (called "Internal storage, I think) and the "USB storage", if any? (The A789 has way too much USB storage and too little /data, had to flash the MBR/EBR to fix that...)
Any issues with the screen brightness? My A789 gets randomly stuck on full blast until I lock the screen.
What kind of recovery is bundled/available? Is it easy to get into with a key combination?

Considering LED notification: works fine, behavior is the same like in your Blade. I think is standard way of behave LED in android.
1. Internal storage has 4Gb and 2.5Gb for user space. U can mount Micro Sd card up to 32GB. I use 16GB micro sd card class 10.
2. Screen brightness works perfect, both in auto mode and manual mode.
3. To access recovery I am using Rom Manager, and recovery looks like in other smartphones with stock recovery.

64GB works also.
Please tell me, what weight, 135g or 154g?

hi
I also have cubot P9. Made a recovery for him but it's inverted.
You can try it downloading from h...s://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_LzOjvUsn4ddXQyZWtmNGdwcDA/edit?pli=1
It must be flashed from SP-Flash-Tool-MTK6572, Mobileuncle MTK Tools doesn't work correctly (remember, i take no responsability for any kind of brick/damage do it at your own risk).
Cheers
Hi
DG300 has the same specs of the P9 so the rom might work. what you think?
P9 and roaming
Hi SAS007, I just got my P9 today and I can't make any calls at all. I am with T-Mobile, put my sim in, switched on and all the T-Mobile settings came up Access Point Name, etc. I also get an 'r' on the signal indicator which I believe means roaming. Every time I try to make a call, I get a message saying that roaming isn't enabled. Have you had any similar issues? If so, how did you manage to get around them?
Many thanks.

Hi mate.dont worry about the roaming thing.I noticed this on my device also.
when i went to make my first call i got the message that i was roaming etc..just okay it and use as normal the roaming R icon dissipated after a while.If your in the UK you can not have any problems roaming makes no difference...
Also in your data/network settings in the part for preferred networks select automatically choose/select network.

Hi
It seems to be working great. Thank you ever so much.
Hello all P9 users
Managed to make a touch recovery based on Carliv Touch Recovery for our phone.
Only problem is that is upside down.

Thanks dude I was wondering cause I couldn't find a forum where they would talk about the phone. Can you make video of how your phone ended up. Maybe put it on YouTube.

Great phone affordable price
Hi. I got mine from ebay and cost me about £70. I must say I didn't expected that but it is a great phone and still can not believe its price. I have no problems so far. It accepted my two sim cards straight away, my main one being on the Three UK network. The internet is much more faster than my previous Xperia Arc S. The battery life is great too. All day making calls and browsing the internet playing games etc. and still have got some left by the evening when I get home. This phone is a big joy and very affordable for students on a budget.
Have you guys tried flashing Android 4.4 KitKat stock ROM on the Cubot P9? I suspect that would increase battery life with 20% to 25%. If yes let me know please I would appreciate that.
Cheers
preloader.bin
Hello,
Could a kind soul dump and upload his cubot P9 preloader.bin ?
Tried the doogee ROM, screen was weird / all messed up so I reinstalled the stock rom at the top of this thread. The phone is half bricked now: phone starts only to show a blinking screen, in recovery or normal mode. SP Flash Tool is still working though.
I read that erasing the preloader on a MTK6572W can be messy, on some devices there appears to be some fixes. (Xolo A500s for example, see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46735224)
I hope there's a solution for the P9 as well..
Thanks in advance!
some updates
managed to flash a custom recovery (rua1 autoCWM v5.5.0.4 for CUBOT P9)
Thing is it acts weird: whole lines are shaking, when I go up / down it goes directly from 1st line to the 3rd etc
I guess the LCD driver on my P9 is different (brand new P9, sticker inside says its from march 2014).
I would gladly appreciate it if someone could upload a full ROM dump of a similar P9.
Thanks,
tieum
Have you tried search the ROM on needrom?
There are some dumps of the original ROM over there.
