Hi,
while searching for a new Phone, i found this strange thing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trAOSb6N7VM&feature=related
It seems like an HD2 running WM 6.x and having an 1Ghz Qualcomm processor etc.
The one who made the video also sells the phone: http://www.tododualsim.com/product.php?id_product=112
Also the price is very low for this kind of phone....
So I wanted to ask you if you think that's real or just a fake?
Thanks
Kurso
Fake i think, in the video it says model t8585 and nand size 1024mb but t8585 is eu model and dont have nand that big.
its real phone but it is not htc ,it is just a china copy
Look at the camera its in the wrong place lol. Also 8.1 Mega Pixel and looks like it has a 3.5 MM jack at the top might just be me but the side buttons seem to stick out more. Must be an imatation.
Yeah thats fake as hell. Weird colors, buttons too big, camera in the wrong place, microphone hole on the right hand side...definate Chinese clone.
Clear video:

Clearer video...even more proof that it's fake. Look at the GIANT HTC logo on the front...
Ok thanks guys

something got me thinking last day, can we actualy take a Xda IIi 1,3 mpx camera and put it in our Xda II, i know that the hardware inside is quite different, but the size of the cases and the cameras positions are the same.
And a camera needs only good drivers or software to work fine, I supose, and it seems that the camera is not saldered to the board if we look to the picture of a naked Xda II attached below. There is a guy that started a tread similar to this about replaicing a i-mate jam camera, so he inspired me for this...
That would be soooo sweet.....
I know, that is why i started it, coz it is not that impossible...
I think it is do-able, especially there seems to be a 1.3mp camera version of the Himalaya named 'Andes'.
If the only difference between Andes and Himalaya is the camera I cannot see why it should not be possible . . .
Maybe you do need another case, because the back-side of the Andes is different from the Himalaya back-side.
Oh now i see, so Andes is a Hima with 1,3 mpx camera. That simplyfies the thing, now the question is how to get one of this cameras.
Is there someone who knows some spare parts shop on the net that is selling it?
And i also think that the xda II mini, xda IIi and the HTC Andes have the same camera, coz it would be a waste of money for HTC if they did different cams..

That was me, I forgot to log in...
Serial / Paralell / Serieparalell transfer mode
I seriously doubt that this would work..
Simply bcause the amount of data from a 1.3 MP cam is way bigger than the data amount from the 0.3 MP.. And the registrys might be too small..
"Buffer overflow" comes to mind..
If you got any data at all, I'd think you got the first or last 0.3 MP...
IF ANY AT ALL...
Just my two cents..
I don't think that would be a problem, as HTC had this upgrade already in mind from the beginning as we see , and the buffer size should be controled just with the drivers or software, but I can also be wrong...
And there is no Temp folder for the camera view, the captured data is just dispayed on the screen and it is not memorized anywhere
hello everybody,,
i want to buy htc hd2 but confuse about this:
htc hd2 vs t--mobile htc hd2.
which one should I buy? t-mobile must be better because 1 gb rom, but what concern me is the tip n trick for international hd2 more compatible.
the important for me is later there won't be any trouble using it or flash rom or etc..
thanks all...
Welcome to forums
Only difference is the 1Gb, other than that I think original Europe model is always nicer.
Good luck,
it depends, if your wanting to use it on tmobile, get the tmobile one, it has 1gb rom and two colored buttons
thanks for th reply,,
I just hope I am not choose wrong hd2.
if choose t-mobile maybe later the 1gb rom can be used to boot android, or any other use.
I just bought my HD2 , and it says on box T-Mobile (white box) , do I have 1GB ROM or not? Cuz its EU version , with white hardware keyz (white light in background I mean) ?
Are your two phone shaped hardware buttons colored? Green on the left and Red on the right.
I think your ROM size can be found under Settings > Hardware, where it says Flash Size. Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about that.
Nop , not coloured.
Hi!
I'm planning on buying a Chinese copy of HD2. I'm not concerned that it's 100% fake and build quality is not on par with real HTC, cause I really need the dual SIM functionality.
My questions are:
1. can it be SID-unlocked (does it have to be?)
2. will any of the custom WWE ROMs install and run on it?
3. will both SIMs be visible in any custom ROM or do I have to install a specific ROM which supports dual SIM dual standby functionality?
Whoever got to play with these Chinese phones, please let me know!
Thank you!
im pretty sure that it wont even rom stock windows mobile 6.5 i think there will be stock chinese software wich isnt even a smartphone
@ dim4x4
the Oboe Phone is a dual SIM with WM6.5, if u get ur Clone Phone and u can get the ROM dumped, edited and reflashed. i beleive u will be able to make a custom ROM.

Siemens Lover
there r chinese clones out there with windows mobile 6.5 running but most of the clones i've seen are not even smartphones... they r running chiinese software made to look like winmo. and some runs a chinese special system derived/modified from the latest windows CE builds.
oh ya and definately you cant use any of the roms designed for real HD2 coz the hardware and bios design was diff.
Just grab a (HTC) HD2 and another cheap phone from Ebay if You really need to use 2 sim cards . Thats what I did. You can buy a small handy SE W880i for like 15 pounds in uk and it also supports 3G network. Dont buy a China copy or You will get stuck with a crap phone that can easly develop a fault. Its not worth Your money.

1. Yes , it can but there´s no need for
2. Google for it. If you detect a custom ROM for that special device you might test it. I suppose there isn´t. And never, never try to flash a ROM for another device. It would certainly brick your phone
3. It depends on your luck to find a ROM for that special device. Otherwise see 2.
Thanks for the advice, guys! Will let you know how it goes.
Hi Dim,
I bought one of these chinese phones... for my chinese wife (because these chinese phones look so cool)
First it's plastic in bad quality! you will get scratches by your fingernails!
Second, the audio quality for talking on caller and receipient side were worse. The speakers are in bad quality: mp3 bad, talking bad, listening bad.
Third, signal strength must be high to work. Often you lose your signal and can't call anyone.
All in one, i can say, that you waste your money. Mine looks like a iPhone 4, but thats all you have on pro's side. On con's side the three points i wrote above.
I bought a new mobile, galaxy from Samsung, and my wife is healed from thinking that the chinese mobiles could be better in any aspect.
Hope this will stop you from buying this crap!
hi
most of people who reply on you,they dont know anything at all about smart chinese phone
and about flashing rom to chinese smart phones will require differant software depends on cpu, because chinese usally use hisillicon cpu or MTK cpu,so when you decide to buy just ask for condation that they send you software and rom.and have fun with cheap and great quilty,and if you decide to buy some model you can ask here for advice
Hi,
With me the same. Still the proud owner of a HTC Universal. I need a "Dual SIM Standby" and came across this chinese vendor. Here are the specs:
-Dual sim card dual standy
-CPU: Huawei Hisilicon K3533, 533MHz,could updated to 600MHz;
-2G ROM+2G bits RAM;
-Windows mobile system 6.5 and Android 2.2(Optional)
-GSM EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
-Support TF card up to 16GB;
-5.0M pixels wtih double cameras;
-WLAN/WI-FI 802.11b/g; *GPS Navigation;
-Support G-Sensor function;
-Support Microsoft Office word/excel/powerpoint etc and email;
-Support IM:MSN,SKYPE,facebook,twitter,OICQ,QQ etc;
-4.3inch WQVGA Touch screen,65,000colors,400x800 pixels;
-Connection:Bluetooth 2.0,WI-FI,EDGE,Active Sync and USB2.0;
-JAVA 2.0, GPRS class 10 and WAP2.0;
-Video Format:3GP,MP4,AVI,ASF,WMV,RM ect;
-Music Format:MP3,WMA,WAV,AMR,ect;
-Photo Format:Jpg,gif,png,BMP,Flash ect;
-Ringtone Format:MP3,WMA,AMR and WAV;
-2PCS Lithium-ion rechargeable Batteries:1650mAh/3.7V;
-Dimensions: 107x51x13mm, 128g weight
So, indeed the CPU is not a 1 GHz Snapdragon™-prosessor, but 533 Mhz Hisilicon. But look at the 2G ROM and 2 Gb RAM! Wonder if this is for compensating on the lower CPU?
But here is the thing. I am not a real "Flasher". I basically kept my Universal as-is, and installed a shell on top to have a new look. I started playing around with new ROMs just to improve the available memory on ROM and RAM.
The question is in this case if most of my WM5 apps will work on this Chinese phone? Second question is then, like "@latersooner" says, who on XDA can assist in flashing Chinese ROMs?
Maybe a suggestion could be to have a seperate entry on the forum list "Chinese clones" or something? Just an idea. I see that they are ahead of the competition in Europe, releasing both dual, 3 and 4 SIM phones, both Windows, Android and other (Symbian?).

Absolutely agree. Do your research first guys! There are some very interesting Chinese smartphones out there. If you're only looking for cheap imitation, yes, you're bound to be disappointed.
Having said that, China manufacturers are now starting to make dual sim Android smartphones with excellent specs. Only thing missing is 3G. Must say, I don't really miss it. 2G is fine for social media updates and email. Only for heavy surfing you need 3G.
I'm very pleased with the Flying Star FG8 I bought recently
I have a lot of information on chinese models star A2000, A1000, A5000 and will be making a thread shortly covering everything I know including rooting, fixes, roms and recovery.
i agree , this phone have bad speker and bad accesories
-.- so you need to buy acc agan
Chinese not-fake phones
I live in Africa. There's a brand that is very widespread here called TECNO - Chinese. Several of their phones run Android, the later models being the N3 and N7.
I bought an N3 out of curiosity - at $94 it did not seem to be a big risk. It supports 2 SIMs, one 3g, and the other vanilla. Seems to work OK as an Android phone (Gingerbread). My only real criticism is the camera, which tends to produce purple pictures in bright lighting.
It seems quite well made. I have been able to root it, and can get to it normally via ADB and Fastboot. I've written a few small applications and everything seems to work as expected. However, I have not been able to find a CWM recovery for it that works, and so far have not seen a ROM that claims to support 2 SIMS.
A single SIM phone is a liability here in Tanzania. There's one operator - Airtel - who can do 3G at a reasonable price, but their calls are expensive. The others are GSM, but what everyone you know uses for normal telephony.
So even if I could find a CWM recovery, and flash CyanogenMod, I'd be robbing myself. Why is the rest of the world stuck on this single SIM thing?

Hello,
today I received my first android device, shipped from China manufacturer, the Cube U39GT tablet. It came with Android 4.2.2 , has an Cortex-A9 processor and Mali400 graphics card, 1920x1080 9" display and is generally really nice device. Altought I came across one big issue I dont know how to solve myself and it is the sound.
I didnt expect the sound quality to be any good since it is just a handheld device but the quality is really awful and pretty much unlistenable. It makes weird noise while playing through the main speakers and when earphones pluggen in and listening to a song, the singer sound like he is singing underwater or I dont know. Best description of the problem I can do with my english. I hope it is a software issue since both the speaker and earphones are having issues.
Is there anything I can do? Should I install a new ROM? If so please point me to some guide or something. Im getting hopeless.
Thank you all!

I asked a few questions.ใใใ
.
I'm interested in this model is fitted.
How satisfactory quality..?
and how much score 2D and 3D of QuadrantApp in PlayStore..?
I guess.. 2D and 3D score maybe more than 900 and 2000 ,or nearby, it work well.
.
Thank you
Hello there! sorry to answer so late, I sorta forgot about I posted here. Today I got pointed to a new ROM which should fix the sound issues so I will try that no. About the quality of the product I can say it looks and feels awesome Let me know if you are still interested in the scores and I will get them for you.

Hey, mind if I ask where did you buy the slate from? Is it directly from their official stores at Tmall? I have been searching for their truly "official" online store but it seems there are too many self proclaim "official" stores. Any guides on where to buy? I would prefer to buy direct then to go thru an authorized dealer.
Hi guys,
This new android phone " Turing Phone" news has been going around.
It is said to be unhackable, waterproof and unbreakable. (sounds like an ultimate phone to me)
The pre-order starts on July 31st for $610 (16GB), $740 (64GB), or $870 (128GB)
Here are what I can find on the specs:
-Size: Diagonal Size 5.5 in
-Processor: 2.5 GHz / Quad-core / Snapdragon 801 chip
-Camera: 13-megapixel camera
-Battery: non-removable 3,000mAh battery
-Finger Sensors: fingerprint sensor is located on left of the device.
-Doesn’t even have a USB port , uses MagSafe-like connector for charging
My question is.. Is it as good as mentioned. From the specs it does not seem that outstanding. But the looks of the phone seems pretty badass to me. Do you have more info? Let me know your opinion. Thanks.
Can anyone port the Rom to the M8?

The device itself looks great! and I am pretty excited, however, I am sure due to the security in it, porting a custom ROM onto it will be out of the question? Also, no headphone jack Guess only bluetooth headsets for this one. And root would also be out of the question?
We have to compromise on something eh
Thanks!
I reserved one, I'll post a review and some pics once received.
I've got a Wyvern on the way...concerned that it doesn't support Google Play...means, what exactly am I going to use the phone for? hmmmm...

I believe it does have access to Google Play. Did you read otherwise?
