IPhone Clone(WM6)

So yeah I got a IPhone clone that has WM6 and it's all running smoothly enough.
I've got a couple of issues that have lead me to think about flashing the ROM.
First off the processor is apparently always at 100% cpu even though most of the apps run fine and anytime I try to overclock the OMAP850 in it it'll just white the screen out.
So I figured maybe the ROM was a bit dodge and apparently so.
I got GEN_WM6_...
and according to the rom update utility my current ce image version is
Ôج$Øج$
Basically gibberish, when I try to run the update it complains that it can't connect to the phone.
I'm running Vista so that may have something to do with it as well. Also I don't know how to get the phone into bootloader mode as it doesn't have any front buttons just 2 for volume on the left and 2 on the right for camera and some unknown function.
Oh yeah, the other question, should I be able to flash any ROM image on to it as long as it's WM6? I'm not using Verizon, I'm using Optus in Australia.
Can anyone help me with this weird and well most probably extremely difficult problem as the phone isn't really mainstream.

You can't just get flash a rom for one phone another. It is really hard to determine which base rom is it because there are so many iPhone clones with WinMo.
Many have no technical support whatsoever, meaning there won't be an update from the clone's manufacture.

Forgive me for correcting you we3zy but I'm sure you mean you CANNOT use any roms other than your phone manufacturers version.

Finding out who the manafacturer is, is going to be a challenge for sure
I guess my main issue is that whenever I try to change the clock speed on it(it has a OMAP 850) the screen goes white and I have to do a soft reset to get it to work properly.

Hey which iphone clones are running wm6?

I believe there's a zzzPhone. Google it. Its looks very cheap however.

I just looked at the zzzPhone, sounds like not a bad device but it doesn't look anything like an iphone.

I got it from specialphones.eu
Here is the link http://www.specialphones.eu/en/store/10175

aaaaahahaha you bought one really??!
oh man, how much did you pay in us dollars?

I would love one of these clones running windows mobile but not at the price on that site. The ones not running wm6 are around $150 on ebay. Anyone know a cheaper place that has the wm6 iphone clone?

I may have found the real name for the phone and a slightly cheaper price.

@Critical_Impact Would love to know how this phone compairs to say a Wizard or Hermes? does it do everything it says correctly? i.e. dims backlight ect I ask only my girlfriend wants a iphone which I refuse to buy as its very expensive however I don't think £170 is a lot especially if a ok windows pocket pc

Wow, guess the iPhone just lost its advantage: its design. Now if they only could do the same with the nokia.....
These people can design the hell out of a handset but they run a crappy OS.

Here are a lot of *cough* *cough* clone *cough* phones running wm
http://www.eemobi.cn/Mobile/Search.aspx?CustomCategoryId=44
Including the touch
And even more of those phone's with a dodgy chinese OS
http://www.eemobi.cn/
Nice to know that site if you ever want a reserve phone. (now the only thing is to figure out how to flash them with a rom in my language )

Gotta hand it to the Chinese. I would buy one of those iPhone-like handsets if they ran a WWE ROM.

Cupcake US Release Date: May 11

I received an official notification that cupcakes US release will start around may 11 and be rolled out in waves.
More info can be found: http://droiddeveloper.com/

so late :-(

From what i have heard they wanted to put some last minute tweaks into it to make sure that it was more user friendly.

i agree....we get everything last

I believe it was to give developers time to get their stuff compatible, so that t-mobile service wasn't swamped with calls from people having problems which stem from incompatible apps.

how are updates going to work if i have a modded rc33? w/root

- Because they didn't have to make sure Amazon Marketplace, MyFaves, Yahoo IM, MSN IM, & AIM would work on it.
- Because a different management team controls Europe than the one that controls the US, and they made different decisions about how long to wait before releasing it.
Pick one.

You will not receive normal OTA updates from T-mobile. You can either upgrade manually or download the JF Updater from the market.

Of course it will. The one on the HTC page is for the Android Developer Phone, not the US G1. The US G1 version will take away root and add MyFaves, Amazon Market, and Yahoo, MSN, and AOL IM.

i find the htc's 1.5 still really choppy and laggy.. kinda dissapointed with it

I wonder how much of a difference there will be other than Tmobile apps of course.

I got tired of waiting and upgraded myself last night,I also got root access.Tmobile and HTC can shove it up their ass.....we US users pay the highest prices,get the phone first and we have to wait.
The new 1.5 cupcake comes with some nice new features but still kinda laggy,but it´s worth it.

I also see absolutely no reason to wait. JF1.5 ftw.

Having the update coming out first doesn't mean its good, the US may want to modify its update by looking at the other updates to make it perfect

Something that a really like on the 1.5 is the option to select high quality on youtube.
The on-screen keyboard is nice too for quick texting but the buttons are quite small.. since g1 screen is smaller than the iphone.. other than that scrolling is still choppy.. battery still need A LOT of improvements.. btw i dont really know why g1's battery sux so hard since the cpu is clocked at mediocres ~240mhz - ~380mhz max instead of 528mhz.. oh yeah gps is better now.. works even inside buildings for the most part.

3G Zpad Rom

Hey I have a Zpad with 3G installed (internal ), Working, With the stock Rom.
I can upload this rom for you guys if you want to see if you can get the files for 3g.
It works Great even though its the crappy stock firmware.
I was gona try put Vegan on to see if it would work, not hopefull though.
Ill upload the rom when i have the chance.

That might help us to use USB 3G modems, if this thread gets moved/closed, you can post it in my thread in Android Development called "[On Hold] 3G USB Dongle Support". Thanks!

What would be cool if you could crack open your pad and snap couple pix of that 3G module...... I'm very curious if something similar can be installed on G-tab.
As I understand Zpad and G-tab are very close in design...
Thanks!

You may find this of interest then. I have the Zpad and popped mine open. I don't have the card installed though. One thing I'd like to know from the OP is, which provider do you have the card working with.

Unfortunately it's not real clear, besides the socket itself, where and what kind of 3G module is installed. As of "HannStar J MV-4", most of the Google searches return motherboards or card readers for different computers.
Just curious what kind of 3G (model#) is installed. Since I already opened my G-tab, there is a mount that can easily accept required socket (some light soldering involved) and then just to get the right module and it can be retrofitted into 3G tablet. That's just a dream I know, but why not?? LOL

I suspect your main problem would be the lack of antennas installed in the gtab. The Zpad has it already installed and routed. I do know the Zpad comes from Malata with a Motorola module.

I have same machine and installed this ROM. But it's cannot wake up after long time of sleep mode. Do you have this issue.

there is a 3g rom way better than original one for zpad,it is about the same speed of vegantab rom.it is a nvflash rom and you need be careful if you do not know chinese.http://www.ez-pad.net/android-2861-1-1.html

SORRY for the chinese. Read carefully before you do anything you can use google translation. i may translate important part later if you need

Am I missing something??
What are we talking about?? Running 3G ROM on the tablet that is not 3G equipped??
It's like performing CPR on a dead person, what's the point??
Until someone figures out how to install that module and make it work on G-tab, 3G ROM is useless......
JMO.

Ok i need to clear some things up....
1. I have 2 Zpads, 1 is a 3G Version , 1 is Non 3G Version.
2. 3G version is running stock zpad Rom, Non 3g version is running Vegan 5.1.1
3. Both have 1 GB Ram
4. I have not opened either up yet, But will.
5. I was under the assumption most people here had the Zpad......not the gtab....
6. I am running the 3G with "three" internet provider sim card in australia, Speed test not close to a tower got me around 1.5 mbit. ( 150 kb a sec ).
7. tester30, bad idea to flame really.....zpads are out there and more popular than the gtab.....so this is not useless....

Just trying to understand what Zpad posting is doing in Gtab forum, unless someone can provide info on 3G module used in Zpad and couple pix would be helpful as well. Since those two are really close in design I won't hesitate to experiment on mine, even if I brick it. If there is a way to get that 3G running on Gtab it will benefit every Gtab owner.
Sorry if you felt flamed.

Ah... I was hoping you were in the states. I have the non-3g version and had thought about installing the 3g module in it. Pretty good speeds on that. As to your assumption it is valid in the grand scheme of things, but this forum is mainly for the viewsonic branded version of our tablet and we seem to be a minority here. It is fine though as they do good work for us as well. As I said before the vegan rom works really well on our tablets. Do you have the T2 Zpad?

I will try and get the model number of the module used in the 3g version of the Zpad later today. However, I believe it is a cdma module and I don't know how well it would work here in the states or if it does GSM.

It might support GSM as the provider im testing it with is not WCDMA.
though i will look into what Mhz range it uses.

I am using a zpad t2 wifi myself, there are zpad 3g too and also gtab. They are all made by malata but even zpads vary from each other in design of motherboard.
the rom is very good and it has a ios like style and vegantab like speed. It is build by chenglu who posted the 3333 and data2loop thread here.
I can flash all roms posted here for gtab with no problem.

I hope (think) that it's running GSM since you've mentioned SIM card.
None of the US providers: Verizon, Sprint have SIM and they are CDMA.
Only ATT and Tmo (GSM) are SIM equipped.

[Q] US 32GB LTE- anyway yet to use it as a phone?

So has anyone figured out how to unlock the software restrictions to make the shield tablet LTE usable as a phone?
I want to buy it but I would like to have the option to use it as a phone in an emergency if something happens to my phone. I am an international buyer but i would have to import it to my country regardless what version I get since it is not sold here, and the EU version happens to be for 450 USD (I would rather get a controller or a cover with the extra cash) .

Yeah but the point of getting the LTE version is so you have data when you need it, so you might be able to rely on your data coverage to make calls. That and the boost in storage.

Airports, Hotels, most shopping malls, Coffee shops, friends house, the office... every single place I can think of that I would have my tablet with me in would have free wifi
The only thing thats going for it and I fully agree with you on that, is the extra storage... kind of a D move from Nvidia if you ask me... they should have and option for same storage for wifi version as well.

I've not heard of any success stories using the Shield Tablet as a device with LTE + Voice Calling.
I did have limited success when flashing the wx_un_mo 1.2 ROM.
I now have a working SIM from my provider, but have not yet tried re-flashing that ROM due to time and family constraints. I've been hoping to get back to it and try again.

I think most people were fine (in terms of software) until they installed Lollipop. I'd stay with 4.4.2. If the next update doesn't fix all my lagging, locking and rebooting, I'm either going to downgrade or get rid if this tablet. Too bad, because I bought both the cover and the controller. Although there is a rumor that Nvidia has already lined up the next version of the tablet with the new processor in it... could be tempting...

Why is the Shield Tablet so slow

I initially bought this tablet early 2015 (or late 2014, can't really remember). I had watched many videos and read many reviews that agreed with its 'ultimate tablet for gamers' branding. When it is loaded up inside a game the Tegra K1 really shines, and it delivers amazing gaming performance. Outside of games, for me anyway it is ridiculously slow. I have had this issue since day one on android 4.x.x. I patiently waited for updates hoping they would fix my problems but they never did. Many months of waiting and 2 full android releases later, I have decided to post. This tablet =, when it feels like it is a very snappy device. However 99% of the time it doesn't 'feel like it'. often just turning on the display when the device is locked takes multiple attempts and takes a good 10-15 seconds. Then I have to wait for the home screen to load in. First the status bar and wall paper. Then the Icons pop up a few seconds later. For the first few seconds navigating the home screen is near impossible with it lagging so much. It speeds up after a random amount of time. Then for example I go to open chrome. It once again slows right down and it takes a good 20 seconds for chrome to fully load. Then when I try to type something the keyboard lags. (Much in the same way as my iPhone 4s on iOS 9). It sometimes speeds back up but it is never 'fast'. Youtube is a strange one. Often it works fine other times even 480p video skips and lags. My internet is 150MBPS so it isn't that (And i can watch 4k youtube on my PC just fine). Sometimes the device just straight refuses to do anything and the only option is a hard reset. I have had two tablets now (Recall) and both behave the exact same way. That makes me think it must be much more widespread than just me. I have tried everything. Reflashing, Custom ROMS, flashing older versions. Does anyone have anything that may help me. Im half considering dumping the thing and picking up a second hand iPad which ideally I don't want to do. Anyway, sorry for the long post and thank you in advance.

This behaviour is not normal.

Same experience over here. The Wi-Fi sucks no matter what. A custom Rom help stop the bleeding, but w/ everyday tasks it's pathetic. How that's possible is beyond me, but honestly I thought my Nexus 7 2013 was, and still is faster. This tablet is a big let down to me, so I'm looking for a replacement as well. Waiting to see if Sammy is going to release anything soon before I go down iPad mini route...

Where did you guys buy your tablet?
My Shield is ultra fast. WiFi rocks. No performance issues. Consider switching off **app optimization** for it's total bollocks.

Yes, I've heard about MM, which is rather a downgrade in terms of performance. Thus I stick with Lollipop.
I'm not an expert but you certainly can change back to Lollipop. All you'd need is an image of stock lollipop and some tools.
XDA should have all the tools.

I know exactly how you feel, so I did some research and wrote a script, basically journaling is ****ing over our ndevices so hard, I turned it off and its like a whole new device. used to score like 93k in antutu and after disabling journaling, 102k easily

What is **disabling journaling**?

Just got the K1 (brand new) and it came with 6.0.1 installed - only the July security update was pending installation.
All setup and running super quick...
Not sure what's up with yours?
I did read when upgrading from LP to MM you should do a Factory Reset after else it lags like hell. Tried that?
Also - as with all Android new installs - don't "restore settings" when setting up. It seems to slow the device down massively. Had the same issue with my Nexus 5x. Setup as brand new, no importing, and it flies.

Because its crap? These Nvidia CPU's are pants compared to Qualcomm. They overheat without you actually doing anything with them, stall regularly just because you dared to lift up the device, and generally run slow. Benchmarks may suggest otherwise, but benchmarks are real life usage.

The thing is I've used tablets such as the Xiaomi Mi Pad (also with the tegra K1) and some of the Tegra Note tablets with no issues whatsoever. The Shield Tablet is the only tegra-powered device I have ever had issues with

My shield tablet is terribly slow, works OK for a while but slows to a crawl. Memory management seems to be non existent. I'm on MM but was same on Jb and LL

What apps have you running?
Is there a SD card inside? Slow SD cards do slowdown the tab!
