Love all your fake phone videos, super excited for iPhone month! Ashens' old videos on fake phones were some of my all time favourites, and yours fill the void that I didn't know existed. Maybe it's just me, but I'm a fan of long, in-depth videos and I hope you keep the format for a long time to come.
For the curious, STK is SIM Toolkit, which runs apps that your SIM card ships with, if any (they're fairly common in China and some other countries, but mostly missing with North American carriers). The SMS apps are just waiting because usually they're stored on a SIM card.
3:49 I had a "M1516 TV Wi-Fi" (better known as the Chinavasion Odyssey) phone with a similar connector, that too was a Samsung connector they used on some of their feature phone models, and I know it as I had to get a replacement power adaptor after the original blew up and tripped the breaker.
In 2008, I was a kid, I bought a used Sony Ericsson K750i, and I was perfectly happy with the damn thing. Later crossflashed it to W800i and did a bunch of stuff with it... Good times. I really can't imagine I'd have been that happy with whatever this is.
6:06 In fact my LG Cookie KP500 had one single connection (that looks very similar, if not the same). I think most Java phones at the time did. It was actually a "bonus" to get a 3.5mm jack, so you can use your own headphones!
It isn't a java os, it's called MTK OS. Mediatek provides it for free when you buy chipset from them. Not only the OS but they also give you a pre engineered schematic of a phone and other devices which you can use the chipset for. So all you have to do is to go to a factory which can produce the phone for you. MediaTek does it to this day. That's why all cheap devices are mediatek, because they give you all ready to you.
3:39 As a tech nerd this iPhone knock off pissed me off so much . I stead of using iPhone 30 pin charger connector or the one that look the same but with buttons to lock on both side they use that little connector from those "Java smart phones". Ok if android were out at that time then they would probably use the usb type A connector. Very cool knock off that even a boomer could spot out :))
@@SMOOREZ Haha imagine a users guide that is physically unmoveable, full of chinglish, 95 pages per chapter, that would be great :p and i don't mind the length of your vids, i think they are hilarious sometimes :p
My cousin in Brasil had a monstrosity if a fake iPhone 4 for years. She kept it together with tape and didn’t let anyone else touch it because she was so embarrassed by it :(
I remember wanting one when I was 14 too young and too broke to be in a phone plan so I thought this was a good substitute Thankfully the IPod touch came soon after lol
Question: do you have to put in the time stamps each individually during editing, or does RU-vid automatically put the time stamps in for you? I would assume that you do the time stamps yourself I always wondered how the timestamp thing worked.
I had a iPhone 3g clone back in 2008 or 2009 and I hated it. I didn't even know I had a clone and round up selling it for $60 to a woman at a auction I was talking to. She was like your phone and wish I had one, so I told give me $60 you can have this one. Sure enough after I said she handed me the money after I took my sim card out of it.
That's actually quite funny that you can still buy a CPU for these phones even today xD gsmserver.kz/zap_chasti_zapasnye_chasti/zapasnye_chasti_mikroshemy/mikroshemy_processory/processor_spreadtrum_sc6600_r2_257_dlja_kitajskih_telefonov.html This store in Kazakhstan has 28 in stock and it would be happy to sell you one of these just for 700 Kazakhstani tenge (whatever that is). And I also managed to find some discussions about this processor on Russian websites from 2009-2012 and it seems like this chip was used in many other clones(fake nokia c5, fake nokia n8 etc.) back then. They've been using some software and hardware to flash those, for example to add Russian language support. Although this chip was quite ancient even back then so idk why would anyone even bother to spend money on that hardware and software just to make crappy ancient processor in crappy clone phone a little bit less crappy. Yeah, this kind of crap was really popular here in Russia. Not only the scammers were selling those claiming they're original, but also people bought those for themself because these for the cheapest touch-screen phones you can get, and if "tiny screen and buttons or big-ass touchscreen for the same price" was the question for you - the answer was quite obvious
It looks close but it's not the same. I have heaps of old school phones and none of them have the same connector. LG, Samsung, Sagem, Alcatel etc. Unless I am missing something. I'll show it in the next video and hopefully that might shed some light on it :)
Tipz Team I am watching from a Mi Mix 2s. I got it last year for $200. They are insane deals and very solid phones. I flashed mine with lineage first thing, which is something you can’t do on basically any of the major brands anymore
15:28 after seeing this im happy that my dad gave me a Huawei Ideos X1 when i was like 8yo (16 now) the phone still works, even after my sister smashed it against a radiator when she got mad
Damn. Something weirdly nostalgic about these. Takes me back to the old Ashens days with the masterpiece from Airphone. Really liking the old school approach you take in your videos. It's very immersive in a "wow, we all get to suffer through trying this device out together" kind of way and I frickin love it.
Omfg, this reminds me of the shitiest phone I owned, some random arse Nokia E76. Man I was so devastated that I actually went back to using my black and white Nokia N1280. I got a genuine Nokia E65 afterwards which had wifi and 3G so that was nice.
@@SMOOREZ omg yes! I know they are crap but damn did I want one. Haha. I shall live it second hand by watching and rewatching Haha. So far love the videos and really enjoy your content. Keep up the good work 👍🏻😊
At 13:27 if you have English subtitles on this will pop up: "our little Tiffany hybrid to become clone out the iPhone at school hasn't got there you can make out what it is there's the other one and there's the other one ice tomato we're doing about three or four frames a second buttery smooth and you can see att the detail in the brick wall here pretty good and then good all Stewart thoughts on how much change ever now i officially certify this device as the one they use when capture UFOs" Me: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've tried to get one for years but I can't find one cheap enough. I would love to have one in my collection but they are just so rare. Maybe one day I can find one.
I *almost* had a pretty damaged one a couple months back from eBay, working but in pretty rough shape. It was an auction but someone sneaky chucked a bid in at like 1 second left and got it.
SMOOREZ 91Tech has two, one with a slight cracked screen and one with a dint on the back, contact him and see if he can lend you one for a review, He’s a nice boy.
Nah, I don't need to review an original iPhone. Everyone has done a review of one so it wouldn't be really worth it. I like looking at unique and obscure stuff :)
I just get a flat head screwdriver, put it into any open area in the shielding and pry it off. It's worked every time. I wouldn't say it's the best method but it works.
@@SMOOREZ Thanks, I'm trying to fix corrosion on a water damaged phone so it's basically ruined already, even so what is your method of reattaching them?
I can never reattach them. Once they are off, they are staying off. I believe they are soldered down into place, so if you can do then you can put them back on. Some of them have 2 shields - a frame and then the shell which just clicks into place. Depends on the device.
