[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueazure:
hi all,

i did a bad root and bad flash( without EFS backup ) ,,

altough ive flashed a stock rom via ODIN, i get no signals ( and blutooth ) and NO IMEI

EFS is messed up basically

as i said above, i made no EFS back up ,, so is there any way i can restore it another way to get my phone working ! ?

regards
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] contramundi:
firstly, did you flash the proper rom for your device? as the signal and such look modem related to me.

you can find flashable modems (gt-n7105) in the development section: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2031575

about the IMEI, i don't think there's any way you can recover it if you don't have an EFS backup somewhere. Reckon the only thing doable would be flash the stock rom root it, use triangle away to reset the counters and flash back the stock rom so you have the device completely stock again.

afterwards claim waranty and just make up a story about how suddenly your phone stopped working completely. and the only thing it currently is, is an overpriced tablet :P (do make sure you have the correct stock rom though, as when you flash one for AT&T on a T-Moble, or one of those on a normal international unbranded version they will notice :P)

don't exactly know what model you have, but getting root on my n7105 was one of the easiest things i ever did to a phone, with cf-autoroot and odin it worked like a charm within seconds.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueazure:
phone is used, no warranty
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] contramundi:
mmm,

no clue how long the waranty is with samsung,

but i found this page where you can check if you still have waranty http://www.samsunguniverse.com/samtools/samwarranty/

simply enter the digits of your serial number and if it works properly you'll know if you still have warantywithin seconds :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueazure:
will flashing back to stock thru odin be of any use ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] contramundi:
don't know you can always try though, but i don't think it'll help much. as IMEI and such are completely device specific i don't think flashing a stock rom would help in getting it back. as the rom is more aimed at a series of devices.

the stock rom option is mostly due to waranty reasons, having a custom rom and not having reset the flash counter would mean they can instantly see you messed up your own device.

resetting flash counter + flashing back stock rom, they won't really notice you where messing around with stuff yourself :) just play dumb, did that a few times with my tablet as well after i messed things up on it :P

after few minutes, arround 15~20 minutes, HereMaps suddenly quit to the home screen.

it's look like this phone out of RAM, so the application stopped without error message.

anyone have same problem?

how to solve it?

is it wp8 bug?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iPwnza:
It probably is out of RAM, but there is no way of knowing. Windows Phone has no "Task Manager".
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] saldous:
Well I only got the phone yesterday and I've already had it with it.

I upgraded the ROM to 1.12 no probs, but the voice quality is really poor, the bluetooth headset (BlueTrek G2) is even worse, dialling with one hand is impossible. They really need to work on the phone functions for these devices. I can't use this for my work phone, it is unreliable and has a worse signal reception than other phones. CallerID with Photo ID doesn't work, the screen keeps turing on for no reasin when in your pocket so when you take it out you end up pressing the screen and doing something you didn't want to do. I regret buying this after one days use. I will be putting it back up on eBay soon.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] slvrbllt:
Hello mate,

I think your disappointment comes from your expectations: you didn't buy a mobile phone. What you got is a PDA with embedded phone features. Nothing more, nothing less.

I used to have a MyPal A620 and (lately) a Nokia 6630. That was a real pain in the shadowed zone ! Two devices, two chargers, two car holders...

Now I still have a PDA (that is what I badly need) plus a GSM phone in one single device... no need to carry the Nokia mobile with me anymore.

If what you're looking for is a mobile, drop the Magician and go for a TRUE phone. It is understood that the phone section could be largely improved but at the end of the day I can live with it :-).

C'ya'round mate.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Talents:
I love my Magician and I have no complaint at all about it.

Since November last year, I have bought 6 units one after another - four for my family members and two for my assistants at work.

On each of these 6 units:

- the voice quality is superb

- the bluetooth handset with Windows Mobile logo on it supplied by Microsoft as a free promotional item is fantastic

- I read my manual and understand how to use speed-dial with one hand

- I read my manual and have no problem using selected photos and ringtone through Caller ID

- I read my manual and understand there is such a function as "button lock" to stop accidental switching on of the pocket pc

- the phone is highly reliable and the reception signal is better than any mobile I have ever used.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jaythemagician:
I think you need to give it more time.Learn how to use it! :wink: There are settings in there to stop the screen coming on unless you press the power button so it never really comes on.Phone quality could be better but comparing to a house phone,have you ever hear a mobile phone of any description with REALLY good sound quality?I haven't and i've had my fair share!It's no worse no better than any other on the market as a phone-as a device it's nothing short of amazing.Pm me if you want a program to make dialling easier :wink:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dandie:
@saldous

Try another Radio Stack like the 1.11. Some people report reception problems only with the latest (1.12) Radio stack.

About your problem with the screen not being locked when the Magician is in your pocket: Get MortSaver (free software), configure it correctly with its options and assign it to one of your hardware buttons. This locks the screen but you can still see some basic information, like SMS notifications, time battery and so on. This basically substitutes a lock function of a mobile phone.

When you got used to the possibilities of this great device and shipped around all these little problems you'll get (trust me, there are tons), you will never want to get back to a "normal" mobile phone. Show me only one mobile phone that does all of the following:

Works as remote control for all your devices (RemoteControl 2)

Can control your PC via Bluetooth (Pebbles)

A good music MP3 player with great sound (MortPlayer)

Is a video player with good video quality, even DivX(BetaPlayer, Media Player)

Plays great 3D games (Tomb Raider, Flux Challenge ...)

Works as a USB stick (CardExport 2)

Can be extended with WLan feature (Sandisk Wifi SD card)

Can be used for navigation (TomTom 5 + BT GPS)

Has a real internet browser, a great calendar (PocketBreeze)

And all this more reliably than the magician does? Come back to earth! All these features have the price of more bugs, more workarounds and more additional software that is needed. But to almost every problem, you will find an appropriate solution in this forum and with additional software (SpriteBackup, SK Tools, SPB Pocket Plus, Resco Explorer, Check Notifications, PocketZenPhone...)

Software like PhonePad makes one hand use possible and almost as good as with a mobile phone.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] saldous:
I will try some of your comments but don't expect to have to pay for additional software to use the device!

I have already set the device to lock the buttons so I only press the power button to turn the screen on, but if I receive a SMS etc.. the screen come on in my pocket. There is no way to stop this.

Audio wise, people I have called say it sounds like I am in a fish bowl !

As for the web browser, I tried to reply to this thread and it wouldn't let me login to the site, but I could browse the forums just not reply.

I have installed MortSaver as per your recommendation, there are no options to configure in it. How do I configure it?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] skagen:
Dont let anyone fool you: the audio quality of this phone is horrible and unacceptable. This is a known problem and audio ROM updates/patches will not help you.

I bought one earlier this year, it sucked. I complained, got a

brand new

replacement this week with ROM 1.11WWE - the audio still sucks.

You need to return the phone. If you are within the return period of your seller - do so ASAP. If you live in the UK, be aware that under UK consumer laws you can return this device as "not fit for purpose", especially within the first six months of purchase. During that period, he onus is on the seller to prove that the device is fit - and a phone sold via subsidy from phone companies would HAVE to have proper audio quality - which this device does simply not.

Read here to understand what your rights are if you are UK consumer:

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] joedoe:
You are not obligated to keep it. If you cannot handle tha device than just sell it and be happy :D
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dandie:
@saldous

The extra software is not needed to make the phone work. It works, as you also confirmed. It makes it better than any phone you can get at the moment! That's worth the price.

MortSave has a link to its options in the start menu. I configured it that it automatically turns off the phone, lets notification popups go through and can only be turned on by the power button. It completely protects the screen when SMS etc. go in - like locks for mobile phones.

The web browser: This is the most complete built in web browser you can get in a phone. Tell me about a better one! Nokia? Motorola?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dangel:
I love my Qtek S100 - it's an amazing little device... and gives me zero problems as a phone or a pda :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] cluelessme:
Use the Button Lock feature!

For the Screen, use the Button Lock feature in System Settings

From your Magician, START > SETTINGS > SYSTEM tab, select BUTTON LOCK, and select LOCK ALL BUTTONS EXCEPT POWER BUTTON.

For the audio problem, i guess you might have to get your Magician serviced since it is still under warranty or get a replacement. Its not worth that you pay that much and still have problems with your new Magician. There could be another reason for your audio problems, the signal strength in your area, the weather at that particular day and the location from which you called that day.

Yes the Magician and for that matter all PDA's lack advance phone features that you find in Nokia or other phones, dont loose hope, in the future maybe someone will take initiative to bring to you all those features too.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dandie:
Why are people always saying that the phone is crap? At least I never really had problems regarding reception and sound quality. Maybe the latest phone stack is not the best - well, just downgrade it.

Regarding the usability of a phone, I even prefer to dial with my magician.

I have to do the following to call someone:

1. Turn it on (kill MortSaver if active -> I have to press the corresponding button)

2. Press the Contacts button and go to the contact I want to call via pressing up or down (holding gives me the alphabet -> very fast)

3. Press right or left to select the number I want to call for that contact (mobile, home or even email) and press the green button to call

In my opinion, a Nokia isn't as easy to use when calling someone.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jaythemagician:
Heres what I have to do.

Press voice command button

say "call John"

it says "call john?" back

I say yes and it dials

Too easy if you ask me!

Got to love voice command!!!!! :wink:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kta:
I also use voice command for contacts. When I want to call someone who's not saved in the contacts, I press that green telephone button and dial the number using the virtual keypad. This may sound stupid, BUT CAN IT BE ANY EASIER THAN THIS?

And for everyone's sake, stop complaining about the Magician not having a keypad like other phones, and it's so much easier on Nokia's, bla bla bla ...

If you want a PDA/Phone, the Magician is pretty much the best you can get. If you want a mobile phone, get a bloody mobile phone!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] skagen:
Because the quality control on this model is crap.

When I returned my jam for warranty repair (SIX separate problems it had), the customer service rep from the vendor that sold it said to me (and I quote), "Yes, we aware - we have had a lot of complaints about sound quality and defects on this phone".

Phone stack is not the issue, nor is ROM. The sound quality and speaker defects that showed up on my brand new Jam in Feb (WWE 1.01) were exactly the same problems on the replacement Jam I got last week (WWW 1.11). So anyone discussing "radio stack" or "ROM" is just leading you on a wild goose chase.

The phone is not well made. Period. That is why there are complaints.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jaythemagician:
For something that does just about everything I think i'll settle for the sound quality,after all it isn't really THAT bad.I've had worse.I'd rather have this device than a 7230 or something like that so it's not a bad trade off for all the benefits
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kta:
I think we just have to stop generalising here. The HTC Magician is selling very very well in most countires, irrispective of the brand or carrier selling it.

Yes, some people found a porblem with the sound quality, but most of us here didn't. Or at least not to the extent of considering returning it back. Mind you, HTC design and produce models for HP, Motorola amongst others so they must know something about quality.

Unfortunately, it's too early for the Magician to have some serious competition. The only reasonable contender is the E-TEN M500. And that's still a bit "chunkier" that I would I hope for!

Some people might not be ready to be early adopters of such a "revolution" in mobile technology.

Such people, I think, should settle for a traditional conservative device!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] skagen:
That is exactly why this kind of lax quality is not acceptable. Its not like they are a newbie - who has not made this type of product before. They are a near-monopoly in the PPC phone market i.e they have a huge experience curve. And audio is not exactly esoteric technology for a company in the

phone

business.

Its one thing for people to try to pass the problems off as a few people complaining. But when the people out there in the market selling the thing willingly admit that there is a problem with sound and speaker quality - its best to stop dreaming up excuses.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] nsriza:
From the posts, it look like some people get unstable magician while other don't. I do agreed that magician is the among top ppc model because of the design which is small like ordinary mobile phone but with a capabilty of pda & phone. Many of pda user change to magician in order to avoid bringing 2 devices at the same time.

It is HTC and their partner responsibility to ensure their product are not made to meet the demand/order without any standard quality control.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] PeterW:
Well, I have NO audio problems with my HTC Magician device at all (O2 Xda II mini brand running on Vodafone Australia). Sound quality on my end is perfect and I have asked a number of people I speak with if they have any trouble hearing me and they have said there is no problem at all.

I do feel that the speakerphone is a little underpowered - in quieter environments it is fine but at medium noise level I struggle to hear the other person. I can live with that.

This is simply the best device I have owned.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Jarek:
Sound quality in my JAM is at least satisfactory, but the volume is not :evil: It's just god damn quiet even on maximum level.

The speaker sux at all....you can change it with some suitable Nokia speaker, but bye bye warranty than :cry:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dandie:
Radio stack 1.11 is louder than 1.12. Try downgrading if the sound pressure isn't high enough. Stack 1.11 works better in my opinion - i did downgrade.

it's a great media player! and organiser

I was thinking of changing it to a SE k750i, cos the XDA2 mini's camera is just too crap... but on the other hand, i really need the offline interenet/ RSS browser....

So, depends what you need, buy what you need.

If you have been using a pocketpc (windows mobile) and cant live without it, then you should get a magician, if not, GET A SE K750i!!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] hrb:
Can't understand all the troubles people are having with their magician. Mine works very well, also the phone. I'm using 1.12, also radio 1.12.

It's just the greatest compromise of having a pda and phone, small and light, in one device.
