M88 Phone Thread

Hey guys, you will have noticed that your admin has been away for awhile. Both bryce and myself have just gotten into our holidays so we will be spending a lot more time around the site and spending well needed time doing some maintenance work. This site has certainly grown since it's debut last year, and we look forward to seeing it continue to grow over the years.

Also we have 2 n...

We have posted a mini-forum for any other CECT phone models, we will make the consideration of making the CECT P168 Forum a CECT forum, but not in the near future, So all other CECT phone users, go check it out!

With the number of members rapidly increasing, we have decided to put a rules section on the forum, it is located here.

So make sure you read it, to save yourself any hastles.
Thanks Smile

Hey Guys thanks a bunch I did some more searches in the xda-developers forum and I came accross a link to Omapclock. I haven't tried it yet I will give it a go shortly.

I have to admit I really do like the phone. Alot.

I just received a M88 in the mail; I popped my Tmobile SIM in and while the phone functions fine, and I somehow after hours managed to send/receive text, I cannot figure out how to get my Outlook or my Yahoo email accounts to work properly. It brings up an error saying that it cannot sync and that there is a network connection and to adjust the settings. Any suggestions on this issue?

Microsoft Active Sync has to be installed on your computer to sync your phone op, Windows Mobile with the computer contacts in that op system. It's free to download from Microsoft.

Hey, out of curiosity, does anyone know if the M88 is running on the same 200 MHz processor that the I68+ is?

The M88 is 200MHZ, the i68+ is 100MHZ.

Thanks for the confidence.

Yep BigMack is right. Well I tried to overclock with Omapclock but all I got was a lock up at 228mhz and had to do a hard reset, I have to say it scared the crapp out of me. I thought I made a new paper weight.

Mike what program are you using to overclock your M88 and what speed do you have it running at and if I can ask you, can you let me know what version of Win CE you have. Mine is: CE OS 5.2.1711 (Build 18165.0.5.0). That will give me an idea weather I need to reflash the rom with a later version of the Operating system. This is real scarey for me. affraid

I run omap at 220. your stuck with the WM version you have. I have version 6.1, Like XP its licenced to the drive in the phone. So don't mess up that drive! affraid

May be a program through Microsoft to upgrade to WM 7 after all the bugs are worked out.

Hi,

I loaded up that keyboard, and I have to say it is awesome it makes messaging so much easier. I also loaded up TCPMP the other day and I have to say it plays back MPEGs really nice.

I have to tell you though, something is weird. I was under the impression that the ARM 926T Omap processor they use in the M88's don't scale, and that they are set to a speed of 200mhz as they say in the ads. Anyway I was checking out the Options/settings in TCPMP and on the General Page it showed information about the Phone (Language, Platform, OS Version, OEM Info, Processor, Clock Speed). Okay that's not so weird, so here is the weird bit. If you check settings/system/about, you will get info about processoer etc. in there it says ARM926T OMAP850. Now if you go to TCPMP/options/settings/Genera/ you will see what I mean. For the processor it says: ARM926E, (that not so weird I know E, T not much of a difference). But wait there's more, if the phone is at idle (nothing running in background) you will see the speed of processor at 166Mhz. I thought Oh crap it supposed to be 200mhz. A friend who is an Elect. Engineer says wait it could be because the phone is not under any load. So I ran some music in the background and IExploer then opened up TCPMP again and checked out the general page again and you wouldn't beleive it the processor speed is now 300mhz !!!. Can someone please explain, as I am under the impression these processors don't scale.

Thanks for putting up with the long whinded story.

Joe

Yeah Mike that's exactly what my head felt like, let me know what you come up with.

Joe.
PS I'm not complaining, if it really is scaling, then I am a very happy camper

Hi, I've been trying to synchronize my M88 to my pc but the device is not recognized. I checked the problem with the troubleshooter and it says there is no driver installed for the device. I've tried with Activesync too but no luck. Please help!!!

no it doesn't. It does appear as a mobile phone in My Computer but contains no files inside. Anyway, that's the least of my problems. After waking up from sleep mode the phone will freeze with almost anything I run. Is there a patch to fix this? Is this a common problem? I have a lot of trouble using the phone service, it always displays en "error" notification or freezes upon dialing. The GSM works fine on other phones. Thanks for replying and please help!

These phones are very supseptible to viruses. ( Windoows Mobile) that is a possability, I think some of your USB drivers are missing from your computer. The phone is a plug and play mass storage device.
