i have htc magician

last few months i have constantly low signal..

not really low, just half power of max. (antenna icon alway have 2 bars, instead of four - sometimes i even lost signal completely)

i doubt about my GSM operator, but this is not reason. i'l call support service and they told me that my GSM card is ok (as part of their network) and coverage in my region is OK...

when using GSM card in other phones, i get highest signal..

only with my HTC magician, i have problems with signal...

can anyone help me with good tips... maybe solution lies in software/config...

if not, tell me (or put picture of dissasembled HTC magician) where is located antenna inside? maybe antenna is broken, damaged, or not have good contact with rest of the phone..

what i can do in that way (to fix that) ???

feel free to answer

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I had sync the entire mail through Outlook.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mitsi:
Sorry, I can't help. I thought that Outlook would not show the "Click to view message", but actually show the message instead. Perhaps if you try to sync NOT Outlook, but set up your email in another way? I have Blackberry Connect and it is the same as yours currently is. I would love a fix to get a proper preview for it too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lkachun9129:
Unfortunately, even I sync my mails through Windows Live Apps, it doesn't show the preview too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stylez:
Think it depends on the sender "mail client etc" as some of mine show and others don't... Something learned to live with ;)
[Nexus One General] KnightMAREcrow:
I am posting regarding issues I've been haveing with my Nexus One units. Yes I have done swaps with HTC on three occasions and keep having the same issues.

One issue is a defect on the top left hand corner of the device where if there is a light shining on it at the right angle; a scuff mark appears. It is not rough to where you can feel it only to where it can be seen. It's an eye sore if you notice it.

Also is the dust under the screen. I know this problem will occur in most phones but is a nuisance to me. HTC is quick to swap out any phone with such problems.

And here on my third unit I'm getting screen flickering.

I would like to give info on how I treat my gadgets in general. I always take the greatest care for every tech I buy. My Nexus One has never hit the floor or been near water to cause any damage. Its always in the stock sleeve when its not being used.

I absolutely enjoy using my phone, but these replacements units are getting worse each time. Has anyone noticed any of the problems I'm speaking of, more so on the scuff mark and screen flickering?

Again this is not a slight towards the phone which I feel is great, but just to get a notion if this is going on to other owners or just localized with me.

Thank you for any response you give.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
The only thing I can see under bright light on the top left is the light and proximity sensors. I don't have any of the issues you describe in fact, you must have been very unlucky.

Are you sure they actually swapped your phone (only applicable if you didn't got the advance replacement where they put a hold on your CC), worth noting your IMEI or serial number when replacing.
[Nexus One General] JanetPanic:
I had dust under the screen but have not had the problem since sending it in under warranty. Other than that the manufacture quality seems quite high given my limited sample set of 1.
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
I see the same scuff mark in the upper-left corner, but I only saw it after having dropped the phone once. Otherwise, I had the clicking screen corners, but a hairdryer took care of that. To date (~1.5 months of use), still no dust, and that's with regular use of the trackball and everything.
[Nexus One General] KnightMAREcrow:
I did have an actual swap, replacement came in before I sent mine out. I tis unfortunate, but it seems out of the ordinary to have the same scuff mark on each replacement. I did check IMEI numbers on all devices.

I really enjoy this phone, Ive gone through countless phones ranging from Nokias to Samsungs to HTC. I never had this problem before with all of those.

The scuff mark appears on the body of the phone, not the screen. I understand where the sensors are and thankfully that has not been a problem I went through.

I just can't imagine this is all my luck of replacements.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Post a picture of this scuff mark you're referring to. If you've had it on three different phones and the rest of us don't have it, then there's obviously a disconnect here.
[Nexus One General] crazy talk:
from my talks with HTC when you send the phone in to be repaired instead of exchanged they fix all the issues 100% because they are repaired by hand. i was assured when i got mine back it would have 0 chance of having anymore dust issues. so we'll see how that goes.

didn't have any of the other issues you mentioned though.
[Nexus One General] KnightMAREcrow:
I have tried to photograph said defect, but to no avail. I have tried over and over again to, but the camera I have is a piece of junk.

I assure you what I said about it. Its not me doing anything wrong. I had it on my original phone and thus checked every time I received a replacement.

I do not know if the technicians are actually following the advice I gave them to the HTC rep to angle the phone to find it.

Recently I sent out a message to Google directly pleading to receive a brand new unit, I will probably not get that knowing how businesses work. I'm an accountant/consultant.

The ways things have turned out tell me that there is a fault in the manufacturing process, maybe localized to a certain "chain" if you will. How I got three of the same problems amazes me. I know it has been fixed because I have two other friends that have this phone without the problem of the scuff mark. They purchased the phone a month after it came out meaning they received a phone from a different batch.

I will update this thread again when I receive another replacement after the current ticket is resolved. Thanks for the responses
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Neo1607:
Ok so i bought this phone off ebay and i wish to use it with O2UK, i have tried several methods to unlock it.

I have bought a code from htccode.com which when i input says "network unlock successful" but when it gets to the main screen it says "no service".

Today i purchased both a turbosim v5 and a xsim v5 from a local phone unlocking shop for £3 each. When i try these in my phone they just show "no SIM card in phone"

I can't afford to wait until monday before doing anything now. Is there anything else i can try, i would order one of these "i-SmartSim 2008"'s from DealExtreme but it's gonna be friday next week before it gets here, i need my phone before then.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] peteriron:
Hi, I bought my HTC Tattoo (Orange UK) about 2 months ago, after trying about every possible software hack & firmware installation & rooting. I finally bought the i-SmartSim 2008, inserted it and it just worked. No hassle, no problems.

And trust me, I really tried about everything there was written around the HTC Tattoo (Orange)

Does this remove the orange apps?. I'm trying to clear my phone of all orange installations.

Hey, I was wondering if it is possible to get a signed-update.zip or even a metamorph version to port the white-eclair status bar to one of the new SenseUI 2.1 ports? (Villian, aHero, etc.)

Ok seriously? 600 views and no one can tell me whether they like it or not? come on people -.- at least vote or something.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] RichieDaze:
I like the glow it has to it. Plus they all go well together. Great job! Tried on TheOfficial and on SuperD's WG-editioned kernel

I had to edit some of the png names since regular launcher is different...

NO problems so far!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] xillius200:
Lol the blue launcher idea is a good idea did it a while ago at

http://www.absolutelyandroid.com/smf/index.php?topic=130.0

Just mine was darker blue lol :P - Hope you get more hits then I did :)

PS: Voted yes on the poll :)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Macrophage001:
lol thanks man. Its starting to look like less people are liking it now though =/ oh well..
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] xillius200:
Ah they are just afraid to try something new :P or just lazy XD
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Macrophage001:
lol probably =P
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Alex530:
Need help

Says not signed thru recovery how do you sign apks?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Macrophage001:
Use signing program. Forgot where it was but i'll look for it.

EDIT: hmm I can't find it -.-

Wait..why are you flashing these? these are metamorphs not flashables
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Alex530:
Ohh but how do you sign them adb is broken in my pc and i have alot of zips apk that need signing
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] xillius200:
Don't need adb at all :P

1. Go here download this http://rapidshare.com/files/166164961/AndroidMod.zip

2. stick the files in a folder on your desktop called sign (signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem etc..)

3. Open CMD and type cd Desktop then cd sign etc. lol

4. Put the .apk in the folder sign and rename it to .zip may be a challenge if on vista or windows 7 download xplorer2 will have the feature to :P

5.type in cmd (java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 update.zip update_signed.zip) the first .zip will be named the .zip you put in there the otherone willl be the signed one :)

6. Rename the signed one to whatever the files was called with .apk at end instead of zip and you have signed a .apk :P

7. Flash it with a filemanager eg: astro or androzip :P or adb if you get it working XD

ps: This guide does not apply to linux lol
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Macrophage001:
Hmm I always just did:

java testsign <nameofapk>.apk

I guess that's after installing the registry files and other stuff...
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] xillius200:
0o Yeah probably due to the registry install's etc lol
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Macrophage001:
Yeah it doesn't seem to work anymore though =/
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] minim0g:
how can i install it?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Macrophage001:
Get the metamorph app off the market. Download the one you want. Make a folder on your phone called "Android Themes" and out the zip file in that folder. Start the metamorph app and give it super user permission when it prompts you for it while it runs the checks. Click on "Pick Theme" and then go to the Folder where you put the zip file in and click on it. The app will unzip the file and then it will take you to a screen where it shows details of the theme like: Version, What Rom it's for, etc,etc..

Click on the name of the apk at the bottom (It is in big white bold letters) and it will start flashing the theme.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] edward099:
I am having issues trying to install it. Metamorph gives me this message over and over right after it reaches 100% "The theme selected is invalid because the theme control file could not be read or may be missing"

Please help, i really like the look of that blue launcher. I want to replace my current one, its the ADWone launcher.

Thank you:confused:
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Macrophage001:
Type this into the theme control file:

Eclair
Any
Launcher.apk
/system/app/ <-- Don't forget that forward slash

Replace "Eclair" and "Any" with the ROM name and VERSION.

Usually the main mistake that somebody makes with the .thm is the fact that they forget to put the forward slash at the end of the location part
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] edward099:
Ok, i figured it out. HOWEVER, after its complete and done installing, my screen turns black and all i see is my upper top bar. Wierd huh? i think im gonna give up here pretty soon. I appreciate you help.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Macrophage001:
Yeah that happens sometimes. Just press home a couple times.

If you work with the Launcher.apk sometimes you have to make Home Default again because it's almost like downloading a home replacement app.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] formula91:
I would appreciate it greatly if you would add some more stuff from FastTest!

I love his wifi icon as well as his GPS. Especially for the black bar. His email icon looks neato too.

thanks, this pack rocks.

Alright. As soon as my mouse gets its batteries ima start working on the framework for fasttest.

[HD2 General] Hydrad:
hello everyone

i am since 1 week a proud owner of fhis device. And please understand, i choose this device after allot of research en review analyses. I love it,the way it looks, feels etc. However after 1 week of testing and intensive using i came across many small issues that do create some irritation and i wanted to know what to do to fix them. That is if there are fixes available besides resetting the phone everytime they occur.

My first problem is the lock screen. If my phone is locked for a while and i want to unlock it, there is somtimes a good chance that my phone gets stuck and all i can do is resetting it

by removing the battery. My second issue is, that somtimes my opera browser stops rotating to landscape mode. Fixing this requires a phone reboot. My final issue which is the biggest, when i use the youtube app allot. After a while of using the volume control bugs out. Wheb you change volumes during the video, the phone freezes a tiny bit and then a windows error message appears.

What i would like to know if i can fix these problems somehow or if anyone else has simillar experiece as me.

Finally, i would like to know if it is possible to play youtube movies on the standard webbrowser, opera. i got skyfire installed, but it seems very slow and buggy.

Thanks in advance for your time
[HD2 General] shpatar:
Hi Hydrad,

Sorry to hear you are having problems. I didn't have any of these problems initially so I can't help you there. It would help however to know what your ROM is, and if you ever updated your ROM.

The ROM my HD2 came with was messy and there were a lot of bugs. I installed Miri's 6.5.x rom and i have no problems whatsoever.

If you haven't done a ROM update before, don't worry it is not that hard, just write here and Id be glad to help.

All the best,

sh.
[HD2 General] mskip:
Follow the link in my signature for Flashing LEO Roms for noobs. Install HardSPL and then pick a rom from many available and flash it via activesync (usb). I would recommend Duttys WWE Rom in in sig to start withbut there are plenty of others that are worthy of flashing.

Flashing a custom rom will fix your freezing issues, fix your opera roatation problem and most include a youtube app to play yourtube videos directly rather than having to go through opera.

If you need anymore help then just shout as theres always people willing to lend there ear and share their knowledge.

Mark.
[HD2 General] Hydrad:
hi all. thank you for the replies.

i forgot to mention that i updated my rom already to 1.66. My htc is also not branded. I will follow the links you gave me. ty

Hello,

I'm looking for latest ROM (Example: Build 23542) but I don't want any addins or customiztions like HTC, TF3D etc. etc...

I see people regulary post roms, and they mark it as "pure, clean etc." but in real there are always customizations and they are not clean at all..

How does this system work? Where do they find the initial state of the ROM and they add their customizations?

I want the initial state only but the latest rom to flash with storage card method?

Thanks,

Tarik
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lokatho:
Well.......a custom cooked ROM got some ingredients:

1 - SYS | system files from MS, for example 23544

2 - XIP | part from SE and OS build from MS

3 - OEM| programs and driver stuff from SE

Before you can build a ROM you'll a base that is dumped from a official SE ROM.

After that you'll replace the SYS and MS part of XIP with the latest built, for example 23544.

If you want a clean ROM you'll need to strip all the things you don't want and aren't needed from SYS and OEM.

Now you can start customizing the ROM.

So you see, you can't download a clean built which is ready to flash. It always comes down on the chef porting the newest built to X1 and each chef has it's own preferences they put in the ROM.

If you really want to use the latest and cleanest ROM you'll need to read a lot (and I mean a lot) so you can built it yourself.

Xperia ROM form Microsoft only

Ok, I'm no technical. Can somebody with the appropriate knowledge, post us the ROM that is enough, only able to run the Xperia X1?

I mean only the stuff from Microsoft and no addin.

Or where can I download from Microsoft, and can I rename it to kovsimg.nbh and flash to x1 with storage card method?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lokatho:
What I meant to say is that there is no wm6.5 for X1 straight from MS, it always needs the touch of a chef.

As I said you'll have to do it yourself, find someone to do it for you or use the ROMs present.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ozkantarik:
Ok, since I can not cook it, can somebody do it for me/us, if it doesn't take too much of your time?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] wess786:
There are some roms who are ready to flash, like christian's ROM. This ROM has 53542 (as I thought), try it and give me your feedback :)

Hi to everyone,

I've read dozens of pages on how to do a HardSPL in Prophet G4, but i simply can't have success...

I've tried 4 or 5 methods that I found here, but none of them had been suceded...

I get a white screen, i get the 3 color screen, the connection fails...

I din't know what to do more... Can somebody help me, pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

I use Win XP Pro, and my Prophet gives me this info when I do Soft Reset:

IPL 2.10.0001

SPL 2.20.0001

GSM 02.47.21

OS 2.20.734

I was already able to change ROM once, because I had it in portuguese and now is in english, and with other logos.

But what I would like was to install WM6.1 or 6.5...

The HardSPL *.bat file gives me this information, now:

"One or more CON code pages invalid for givem keyboard code"

"cerun:failed to execute program"

Can somebody give me some idea?

Thank you so much in advance!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] keenblade:
I was in the same situation as you. You have to find the rom:

RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exe

Search in the forum for the rom. After extracting the rom, run the file: ROMUpdateUtility_No_VenderID.exe.

It will survive your device. then you can install a wm6x rom from this site.

Don't forget to do hard spl your device next time.

Edit: It seems the rom is here:

http ://xvx45-spf.4shared.com/account/file/12240109/ca99469a/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.html

Also there is a "readme.doc" in the rom dir. Read the section 8. It is written for you.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] pt_satelite:
Hi keenblade,

I was able to do that. My PPC went with the 3 color screen, and then I user a rom with No vendor. I disabled USB connection in ActiveSync, and then I could do that. I brought my PPC back.

My problem is just the HardSPL... I just can't do it... I've tried so many tomes and with so many files that I think i need some straight orientation, or i don't know what was wrong...

In this moment i have the PPC with WM5, but what i really would like to do is make a HardSPL to install WM6... :rolleyes:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] keenblade:
Did you try "Prophet Upgrade" tool? Before running the tool, you have to connect with activesync.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] pt_satelite:
Yes, i've used Prophet Tools already...

I guess i'm doing something wrong... I've tried again now, and went again with the 3 color screen. I'm injecting a NoVendor Rom again.

When doing HardSPL, when the screen turns white, i must disconnect and reconnect device and just wait that software finishes, right? There is a moment that nothing happensm but then ActiveSync recognizes again the PPC.

I'm i right? I must do that again. It must be somtging that i'm doing wrong...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] keenblade:
When the screen turns white, I do nothing. Just wait. I don't disconnect and reconnect device. Maybe this is the problem. Do not touch the device when screen turns white. It will continue eventually. Also use the latest Prophet Upgrade tool v2.6.

Let's see what will happen.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] pt_satelite:
I got it! I've followed this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=349900&page=9

Thank you very much!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] keenblade:
Nice to see you get your prophet back to life. I still use wm6.1. Because it is said wpa2 does not work with wm6.5. I haven't try wpa2, yet.

Best wishes.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] pt_satelite:
That's a good question... as i live in a non populated wifi area, i use just WPA, and it's fine. I must try WPA2, to check that.

and btw, 6.5 rom from babak00000 is just great. Love it.
