What a turd this guy is. I have not even read any of the other post in order to not influence my opinion on the OP.

First of all, you F****ed yourself by someone else, better yet, you let someone F**** you. Second of all, no one, not even HTC, is responsible for your stupidity. They never went off to tell you change ROMs. This website is strictly optional with warning signs indicating that anything you do is at your own risk. If you can not handle that, you should not be messing with a perfectly good phone to begin with.

Stop blaming HTC for something that you did wrong. This post is just like the stupid people that sue McDonalds for getting burned with warm coffee.

Now to make this a productive post. Read around and see what the problem may be. You may be able to recover your phone it just may need additional steps. Another thing to note is that you should probably not try to mod any phone if you do not know how to responsibility for your own actions.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] s0xpan:
everyone is giving their two sense to get their posts up; my turn

this guy is unreasonable....the perfected spl takes two seconds to get rid of and replaced with a more...open spl; so you blaming that the device is too complicated to deal with is your own lack of intelligence. everything deserves reading/research whatever may have it; no one picks up a phone that they spent over 100 dollars and goes for broke without a backup plan, so thats your own darn(=]) fault that u rely on the very thing u turned your back on(htc warranty )

Who is the real FOOL

I saw your LONG lecture. First READ than UNDERSTAND and after that call other one FOOL.

I bought my HTC MAGIC in HK after a deep research that I can put my native language in it. first it can be ROOTED and Now I CAN'T ROOT IT so I can't use it as a phone. HTC just LOCKED IT. I asked tham one of two:

1. let me go one stap back.

2. let me use it with my native languge.

How do I know they'll LOCK IT.

Even this Forum Experts didn't solve this problem yet.

SO I THINK AGAIN HOW IS THE REAL FOOL?

You are the real fool.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daeshawn:
double post
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daeshawn:
Alright so i think the mod need to close this thread all together...the main point here is NO ONE TOLD YOU TO BUY THE MAGIC, NOR DID ANYONE TELL YOU WHAT TO FLASH PERIOD..if i did th same thing I can only blame myself. anyways mods I really think this thread should be closed. I'm sure someone has found a way around perfected spls and if not this one it will come very soon. When I first got my magic I bricked it..and was pissed the **** off, but did i blame htc or google? NOPE. i was lucky enough that rogers gave me a replacement. I simply searched the forum and also contacted origins and Amon Ra who both helped me out!! WHATEVER MODS GET RID OF THIS THREAD .....IT's taking up space.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
So you bought your HTC Magic and you rooted and flashed a custom rom with your native language. Great! You've done your research and acquired the device with the functionality you were looking for. Then you go ahead without doing ANY RESEARCH and flashes an official firmware WITHOUT your native language and adds the perfect SPL? :/

I don't know what you are complaining about. You've bought the device just as you expected and researched. I don't know why would you even blame HTC, Google, Forum Experts, Developers, Script kiddies, or us simple users.

If the firmware HTC released does not contain your native language, it is obviously not meant to be used by you.

I don't even see why HTC should include your native language in the HK firmware as it isn't their native language. The world does not revolve around you or your country.

And at the person who got a replacement from Rogers, "Congrats man, can't believe Rogers actually something nice, you must be VERY lucky :)"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kencix:
These kind of phones are not for people like you.

Get a standard Nokia and have fun with it.

Dont blame XDA for your mistakes. That's your own stupidity.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daeshawn:
lol just some smooth talking by the Roger's Plus store rep. He basically madeit look like I was waiting forver for the first phone to come and whn it came it didnt even turn on etc lol..so yeah just luck that day cause we all know how rogers really works.:cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LecterMe:
HTC suck. Worse support ever !!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] archboy69:
Really...worse support ever? Maybe I've been lucky. I emailed them about a problem on my Magic and 24hr later they responded and then followed up to make sure it was okay or continue help. I thought that was pretty good. No complaints there.

And as for this. I think this post should close. This isn't a rant board for your own mistakes. If you wanted help on how to unbrick your phones okay but not a place to just post your grievance and bi@#$ about blaming other people. Sorry about the the phone but maybe you should have spent more time researching on the forum before going down that path. Its your fault.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LecterMe:
Well i didnt make any mistakes. I just brought the phone with a dictionary and phonepad keyboard that didnt work in my language. HTC have told us several times, that it was google's fault, and that they could not fix it.

The problem was gone when they released Hero, but still no fix for our Magic. Now 5 month after i brought the phone they finally released an update.

Thats not great support.

Thread Closed

Ok people,

I think the cursing, flaming and arguing has gone on long enough and i i agree with the several requests that this thread should be closed as it is clearly not going anywhere.

Greetz.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evolarius:
quick question... and im sure ill get flamed for this, but i have to ask anyway... is there a specific reason that no one is working to develop the hero sys (peep, rosie, contacts, etc) to be compatible with the 1.6 framework???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
There's a reason: it's frakking impossible. Seriously, all those apps are tied in to the HTC frameworks, making them near impossible to port to cupcake, let alon donut. I'm still amazed that we have HTC Music working on 1.5 :-O
[HD2 General] emil73:
Hi guys,

Part from the major problem (sms not sending correctly) I have this other problem:

The first page of the Weather tab in sense stops updating, so the My Location page (1/x). When I try to update all the other locations are updating but not "my location" For the other locations (2/x till x/x) the update-interval seems to be working. What I´ve done now is that I have created a new location with my hometown and marked that for the first page but it shouldn´t have to be this way..

Anyone familiar with this?
[HD2 General] aldabal:
I have the exact problem as you (not the sms). All the applications are updating correctly. Anyone has a soulution?
[HD2 General] Graf Zeppelin:
Any fix for the weather problem, my HD2 is suffering from it as well.
[HD2 General] ChefChaudart:
yes, that´s quite boring :mad:

|edit]

Writing here gave me an idea !

This is not updating cause the HTC localization service is disabled !!! If you re-enable it, it will update ;-)
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
Do you have HTC location service (settings tab - locations) switched on/ticked? If not, then My Location will not be updated.
[HD2 General] Ben86:
hey,

i have the exact same situation. first it worked fine but since a few days its only updating once a day (yes im pushing the button to update, as this would be a hardware button it would look pretty used xD). so i actually deactivated and reactivated the local settings but still not working :(
[HD2 General] emil73:
Have the location services on and have always been on... but still no update since nov 20th on the my location weather. Not the most important maybe but kind of annoying.

Anyone figured it out yet?
[HD2 General] tigerpower:
Same problem for my.

I have changed State and nothing happend...
[HD2 General] uvz:
same problem here...:confused:
[HD2 General] blackbozo:
I had the same problem. Location service worked fine, since my location appeared in Google Maps. No location update and no weather update in the weather tab.

After a soft reset it works fine again (for the time being).
[HD2 General] valleyman83:
Are you guys also experiencing the sms message problem? Because to me it seems somehow related to each other.

I use the temporary fix of Confusion to send sms messages and now the weather for "my location" also works fine (which didn't before)
[HD2 General] emil73:
Sms problem as well...
[HD2 General] rivets:
weather problem, no SMS problem. I believe its down to the network cell you're located in. out in the "sticks" my weather works fine (probably only on one "tower"). In town where there are separate O2 towers for GPRS / 3G / HSDPA it won't update. Just my theory .....

rivets
[HD2 General] pigglett:
Mine ahs been working fine for 5 days now today it not working

last update 9am this morning and wont update...if i add a town near me that updates fine :(

edit .. now working
[HD2 General] wazaaappp:
same here... must be the network doesn't catch edge or I don't know
[HD2 General] PachaTC:
My HD2 us also suffering from this problem...

All locations in weather update fine EXCEPT for my location. The wierd thing is that if i make a duplicate entry for where i live in weather that that one updates but the first entry (my location) doesnt.... The weather on the front page does not update.

Does anyone have a fix for this at all? Its only a small thing but its managing to bug me!!!

The only changes i have made are that i have removed the proxy server address (as i am on T mobile) and made the change to be able to view iPlayer.
[HD2 General] remcoharmsen:
It seems to me, it only works when I connect my phone through our wifi-network. Only then it seems to resolve it's location. Any other attempt to resolve the location fails. Why would this be?
[HD2 General] Blacked Out:
Exactly the same problem, Im on T-Mobile, location has never worked for me, slightly annoying as google maps can pinpoint my location within 5 metres?
[HD2 General] cmk574:
I'm having SMS issues too

On the weather, when I connect through wifi it sets my location as Hounslow but when I disconnect wifi it correctly sets my home location as Aberdeen.
[HD2 General] Rossimac:
Hey just writing to say I've had the same problem too.

I first turned the HD2 on without a sim in and used it simless for half a day until I got an unlock code and could use my 3 UK sim. As soon as this was put in, My Location stopped working and has not worked since (neither WiFi nor 3G). It worked prior to putting the new sim in over WiFi.

I also the sms problem (I think, haven't really sent/received many texts to know tbh).
[HD2 General] Bunglechunk:
I have the same problems (weather, not sms). The My Location doesn't work at all and never has even though I have the HTC location service enabled. I've manually entered my town, but whenever I hit Update Now it gives me the following; Connection Error: There was a connection error while attempting to download weather data. Retry?

Does anyone have a solution for this as it's extremely annoying and I feel like i'm banging my head on a brick wall as the internet etc. works fine so i know i'm connected fine?
[HD2 General] johnkst:
There are now a few threads on this subject ('My Location' not working on Weather/Today pages with associated 'Connection Error' message).

Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a full working fix for this yet.

It works in some areas and does not work in others (for the UK at least...).

If you don't want to wait for a solution and are fed up with the 'Connection Error' message, there is a cab available to remove the 'My Location' functionality. Just do a search on the main Leo forum.

If you've selected a nearby location, but are not getting the animated weather for that location on your Today page, you need to go into your 'World Clock' page (just touch the clock on the Today page) and change your location from 'My location' to whichever town you have added.

If you want to add a new location manually, but your town is not listed, you need a nice little app called WeatherCityEditor (search for this keyword in XDA Developers). This allows you to add more locations to the default list. If you use it, give the guy a donation...! (No! it's not me!)

Hope this helps...
[HD2 General] Bunglechunk:
Cheers johnkst but it's not the My Location issue that's the problem. I've entered the city I live in no problem. But whenever I then try to update now it gives the error.
[HD2 General] johnkst:
Hmmm... You said 'My Location doesn't work at all and never has even though I have the HTC location service enabled', so I understood that to be the problem you were asking about. I'm surprised you are now saying that it's not the My Location issue that's the problem!

Let's try again then...

Forget the error message for the moment. Do you get weather updates for the city you entered manually?

Or... coming at it from another angle..

Does the error message appear as soon as you hit the update button or only after a few seconds?
[HD2 General] Bunglechunk:
Right, the error appears after a couple of seconds. The My Location issue won't matter really if can get this to work. I don't know if this helps, but I get the error on all of the locations I try to update.
[HD2 General] parv1:
Hi

I have had the same problem since i purchased my HD2.

But......

At home (SE London), i get the same 'retry' error message.

But today, i came up to Wolverhampton and 'tada' it decided to work.

So it does work, looks like its dependant upon area that you are currently in.

Stupid yes i know, but it looks like we're just gonna have to live with the issue.
[HD2 General] Bunglechunk:
Cheers parv1, that's some consolation at least! I've only had the phone a few days after replacing my X1, and already I prefer this. It's much quicker and bigger (obviously) and just overall a better phone so far. This is the only gripe I have with it. I'm even quickly getting used to not having the slide out keyboard which I thought might have been a concern!
[HD2 General] dazzlingdaz:
Bunglechunk - I am getting the same error - there isn't a fix as yet - but even if you add your own city to the list on the weather tab - and select it - you will still get the connection error after several seconds because it tried to download weather for all the cities you have listed - of which - one is obviously still "my location".

Very annoying....what I do which kinda circumvents it - press update now - wait for your chosen city to be updated then move off the weather tab before a few seconds pass.

Also I set the city on the home page to where I am instead of My Location.

It's quite annoying - I live in Watford in the UK and was out in London - and watched it correctly identify EVERY borough I went through there and back - but as soon as back in Watford....My location goes tits up.....come on HTC/Accuwather - sort this out please.
[HD2 General] Gangledore:
Hi All. I have the same problem as cmk574. When I use wifi at home my weather location becomes Holt in Norfolk, about 237 miles away. When I disable wifi and the phone switches to GPRS/3G it correctly shows my vilage location in Mid Wales.
[HD2 General] dazzlingdaz:
This can happen if your home broadband goes through a proxy or router or a shared IP address - am really starting to think that the weather app behaves erratically when connected to home broadband as this then cannot use the cell info to triangulate you - but since triangulation doesnt work for me in a big town like Watford anyway - and doesnt work at all even under wifi either - I am getting annoyed!

I am wondering whether (pardon the pun) there is a better weather application that can be cooked into manila and dump this junk - and while were are at it - junk HTC's messaging app as well cause it dire with more than 5 sms's in the inbox.

Come on HTC - you make amazing phones - but the software seems to be going backwards in recent versions!
[HD2 General] buffystar:
I have to same (ish) problem on Wifi it says I am in Milton Keynes (nearest ISP hub) In my front room on 3G/H says I am in Shefford my village if I am in my bedroom takes ages to locate then says I am either in Southhill or Old Warden we have three masts on my area e.g the one's mentioned. If I can't get a 3G signal I get nothing e.g it won't update. If I open google maps go outside and update my location go back inside it says Shefford all the time.......make of that what you will.
[HD2 General] Raspster:
I have simular problems with either twitter, stocks or weather not updating all the time. Can't even bother with the auto update features as its hit or miss as to if it will update on its own. The stocks tab will go a day or so without allowing an update over edge. It will update just fine over wifi so thats how I know its the phone and not the server. Same goes for weather but out of the 3, that one seems to update the best. I have not experienced the sms problem (YET, Knock on wood) but I do get annowed when I reply to an SMS right away (same time) it will put my SMS behind the person that just sent me the SMS. Annoying... Can't wait for an offical US release in in 2010 and hope that most of theses problems are gone. Even with the problems, I still can't pull away from the fact that the screen is so amazing and that we finally have a copactive touch screen for WM! :)
[HD2 General] s32bauer:
The problem I have is that my weather doesn't update in one city only.

I work in Cambridge but when in the actual city I need to change the location to Cambridge because My Location doesn't update.

Once I have changed it from My Location to Cambridge it updates absolutley fine, just doesn't update my location automatically.

Anywhere else it's fine.
[HD2 General] SilverCity:
I had the same issue here in oz.

I just flashed a different radio. Nothing wrong with my old one in terms of calls, sms, data etc. but I thought could it be some underlying connectivity issue.

Sure enough after new version was flashed my location updates no worries.
[HD2 General] sjukmidlands:
Same Problem

I have exactly the issue since getting my HTC HD2 last week. I do have the setting set to allow getting My Location / Localisation services, yet the My Location weather never updates. I get the connection error message every time. All the other weather locations update fine.

I have got a reasonable signal, and even tried over wi-fi connections. So it isn't a connection problem at this end. I can send and recieve texts, emails, browse the web - everything else works fine apart from the My Location weather.

Oh, and I did accept to allow the Google Localisation data when fIrst starting the phone after getting it last week!

It's very annoying as this service forms part of the home screen display in HTC's Sense! It was all much simpler and better in my previous HTC Touch HD phone when the home screen (Touch Flo) weather was the weather selected myself as the weather displaying in the weather screen.

If anyone out there has any other thing I can try it would be appreciated! (Likewise, if I hear anything back from HTC's technical support ticket I submitted I will post it here. I'm not hopeful though...)

[HD2 General] sjukmidlands:
Update to last post

This evening, after posting my previous message, I drove about twenty miles to see friends in Burton on Trent. Upon arriving there, I saw that the My Location weather had updated itself to Burton on Trent... and weather conditions continued updating Burton on Trent (my location) throughout the evening, in other words it was working ok.

Upon rreturning home to Rugeley, it has stopped again and is stuck showing My Location as Burton on Trent... thus it is area specific why this won't update.

I have perfectly good 3G and HSDPA connections here in Rugeley. Therefore it is a mystery why the service will not update itself here! The normal weather on the phone which I set up as locations updates perfectly, its the [I]'My Location'[/I] service which is therefore causing the issue...

Steve
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
Isn't it because the "My Location" over the network is being triangulated/estimated based on proximity to the nearest tower, etc.?

When GPS is active and connected, "My Location" is always active and updated.

The GPS finds me within 10 meters, whereas the other methods estimate within several hundred to 2,000 meters depending on my location.
[HD2 General] sjukmidlands:
GPS is active/switched on, this isn't the problem. The error message I get is that the service cannot connect, it says: "Connection Error. There was a connection error while attempting to download weather data. Retry?"

Yet the weather data for the locations I chose manually do always update with no problem...

The issue I think is specifically with the Google My Location service which is used by HTC for getting the weather for the "My Location" weather all over the front end main screen, HTC Sense.

I can only conclude therefore that there is insufficient information from mobile towers here to get a rough location fix, thus it just gives up and fails. If the system/service falls down that easily, HTC should not have implemented it as a central feature of their HTC Sense front end on the phone... it screws up the whole front end experience which after all was designed always to show current information, eg has My Location weather displayed all over the screen as now, the central weather icons below the time, and the weather conditions animation all over the screen, e.g. currently snow running down the sides of the screen as it will do now until I travel far enough away from Rugeley to get it to update again...

Thus, the My Location feature they have implemented is flawed in the extreme. It should absolutely be robust enough to cope with all locations easily, if it cannot by mobile tower triangualtions/fixes, then it should also use GPS (which presumably it does not). I do not live in the middle of nowhere here in Rugeley, it is a moderate sized town with major connurbations around and major trunk roads nearby and runnig through it.

I just hope HTC can fix this flaw......

Steve J
[HD2 General] antaed:
hi sjukmidlands, you are right it's very frustrating indeed. let's hope they will fix the issue somehow asap.

in the mean time i deactivated my location service and added my city manually in the home screen, at least now i have the weather update working properly. the only downside is that i have to change the location in the home screen each time leave town, but that's not such a big deal really. plus, considering i don't leave very often, i guess i can live with it.... for now :)
[HD2 General] sjukmidlands:
If I hear anything back from HTC I'll post here. in the mean time, how do I de-activate the My Location service on the home screen and set a manual weather location?
