Sorry for the second post so soon, but I decided to give it a go and popped to my O2 store and get an XDA Exec. I took the XDA home happy, set it on charge, gave a good 10 hours, and upon trying it don't seem to be having much luck - I've tried searching without much luck (either get nothing, or loads of results that have nothing to do with it) so I'd appreciate any ideas.
I booted the XDA Exec up, expecting to be presented with the screen I've read and seen about many times, where you choose between Personal, Basci or Corporate. Instead, I got only two options, just Basic and Corporate - no personal :?
Thinking maybe it was just a different thing, I then let it continue loading up. When it loaded, it completely failed to find any O2 network at all - even though I know there is one and another O2 phone connects straight away. It just continues searching and searching, never finding anything. (Phone is searching for a network to connect to icon). The Sim manager is completely blank, and I'm unable to get any sort of connection at all with it
Out of desperation I even tried the O2 Active software from the programs menu, which launched up a terribly corrupted Today screen (all the icons were broken) which crashed as soon as anything was clicked, leading to needing to do a soft reset due to no other option. I tried it again and same thing.
So far, I like the device, but it's not been what I've expected, and as it was primarily bought for mobile internet, not being able to connect is a bit of a downer . Furthermore, the seeming problems in the O2 software concerns me, too
Does anyone have any ideas? Is there something I'm missing that's obvious? Could the sim not be in properly or something, or could the sim have not been updated or something? I must admit, while I'm not new to Pocket PCs, I am new to phones of this sort, so I'd be greatful for any ideas or advice.
Thanks a lot in advance, I appreciate it
Since the phone is not able to connect to the network,so, most probably, its a SIM card problem. Try putting in some other O2 SIM in it and then try if it works
i would recommend doing a hard reset, and make sure your sim is inserted correctly before doing this.
Cheers, Bryson
i had problems connecting to o2 until they registered the sim card.try ringing them to see if they have done this

hi, i heard the corporate version is the best.. you can also try upgrading to latest rom. or if you already have that, hard reset, or you can even try a reflash.
also you should reseat the sim card & make sure you pushed the lock on it..
Hi,
I was using the phone a few hours ago and everything is working fine.
Now, I'm trying to make a call and cannot! It says "no service found" and there is an exclmation mark next to antenna. I tried manually selecting the T-mobile network. Still, not working.
Also, all of a suddent, it won't let me access my contact list. It won't let me run any programs. It won't even let me get to the Phone program.
It won't recognize my miniSDA card either.
I rebooted the MDA and did the soft reset 4-5 times, still not working.
I did drop the phone in a parking lot 2 days ago, but it didn't physically have any damage and it's been working fully since that drop..up until just NOW!
I called T-mobile Support ... they are willing to give me a replacement MDA..so I guess that will be fine.
However, I cannot access my contact list - Does anyone know any way I can get my contacts off this MDA ???
Also, 4 mos ago, I installed a ROM from this site which supposedly unlocks the phone. Will T-mobile have a problem with this when they recv my phone ? Or no problem?
also..
by the way....
The phone will not sync with my laptop running latest ver of active sync.
It will say "connected" on both MDA and Laptop, then I get a pop up error on my laptop, some thing like:
" unable to syncronize with device, please check device and try again etc.."
OK - I got a replacement from T-mobile.
Now, can anyone tell me how to get my OLD contacts off the old mda and into the new one?
FYI: It won't connect via activesync
if this post is in the wrong place, let me know where it should be, or move it for me and notify me... thanks and sorry if posted in the wrong place...
I tried using the howto to run the OPIE-II linux distro, and it starts up just fine, looks great and very promising... BUT...
I cannot make a phone call. The message 'no modem' keeps appearing, and won't go away.
I noticed some settings panel, mentioning the modem selection, where I could select the serial /dev/ttyS0 at 115200bps, a SIM:local and SIM;hostpc (correct me if I'm wrong), but none of them seem to resolve the issue.
Now I'm having an issue in WM2003SE too with the reception and service of this device (MDA compact version), not making calls and telling me there is "no service", although my other HTC cell (trinity) next to it does it all, full coverage...
My questions are:
- what device or location do I need to point the modem to? /dev/...?) and at what speed if necessary..
- how can I troubleshoot this issue?
- how can I connect onto the dropbear ssh server (address, port, user, pass, ... to get into the phone)
Any ideas are welcome!
Thanks for the help...
Where you download "Opie-II xanadux" and how run on magician ?
Hi
I download Opie from http://www.linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/htcmagician/images/O.P.I.E-II/?C=N;O=D
do not work GSM - 'no modem' problem.
what to do ?
wery sorry for my poor Eng
I had the same problem. Apprently the Magician isn't supported fully by Linux yet.
And I had this problem... With opie 1 and 2
Whyyyyy???
And why after run Lin a have hard reset?
Ps How second run lin without HR?
My S110 don't see SIM-card in OPIE... and many other...

I'm not sure, but I had similar issues on a Universal device...
The trick was to pin-disable the sim card from WM5/6...
go to the security settings in Windows Mobile, where you can set another pin, and disable it there...
I know it's not secure! but it's a possible solution for this issue...
I know the Universal (Qtek 9000 and similar devices) has an issue with the sim-unlock-pin stuff, and it might be the same on Magician.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm not able to confirm on mine, as the radio reception is dead on my Magician system, still waiting for a quote from a UK-based repair shop... or another phone to be bought...
If anyone knows a good repair shop for HTC phones, pref'ly in the BeNeLux area, or around, please let me know!
Thanks, and good luck
Once my phone has reception again I'm restarting imaging and testing on my device...
1 - Try to install OpenMoko - all work. Sound,GSM,Blootuth.
2 -Peopls who coddding OPIE, say :"The GSM is working on the Qtopia image (kernel), the fact is that the Phone application does not know how to handle it."
I have tried the opieII image and it is really nice!!! everything works quite quick and smooth, and i love the keyboard
I get the same error with the modem problem. i would use it as an everyday device with the linux image i was that impressed with it
I got the image from here http://www.linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/htcmagician/
I tried the openmoko image from that site but i get errors in the image when i try to boot it.
I managed to install the openmoko image from this site http://grigio.org/howto_openmoko_htc_magician_s100_dual_boot_wince and while it did boot ok, it too had no gsm capability and i found it slow and hard to use. The image on there does seem to be nearly 12 months old and so there could be something so much better out there.
Anyone know where there are any newer images for the magician?? i know the openmoko project is still going full steam, but im guessing that it takes a bit of work to get the latest version of that onto a magician (adding in specific drivers etc)
anyone with information or needing help (i will try) can email me or msn me on [email protected]

Hi, I'm Chris from Malta and I just got my White HTC G1.
I'm still getting to use it and to its million functions and would any help from others who have the same mobile. I
have 2 major problems at the moment :
1) I can't access the numbers saved on my sim card, anyone knows if there is any setting ?
2) I can't connect with other users throuh bluetooth, they told me there is a setting but can't find it !! Any help would be appreciated.
All the software that you installed and other that u didnt etc.
Any Upgrades available ?
Thanks
Chris
1) Goto your contacts and hit the Menu button. There will be an option for importing your SIM card data.
2) At your desktop screen press Menu then go into Settings. Everything for Bluetooth is under the Wireless Controls.
Honestly the first thing I did was I rooted my phone. It's a simple process just follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
Reason I did that is because I wanted to install apps to my SDcard, give me access to themes, and give me the ability to tether my 3G connection to my laptop via wifi so I can play games like World of Warcraft on the go.
As for apps its up to you what you find useful. Personally I like Advanced Taskmanager (if you can't buy it I'm sure you can find the free version "Taskmanager for Root Users" somewhere but keep in mind you need a root'd phone for it), SnapPhoto (free version), ShopSavvy, Last.fm, Twidroid, and Locale.
Thanks a lot for answering Ron Overdrive
Managed the Contact thing but not the bluetooth one !! I mange to pair with others but not connect !!! Any help ?
Thanks
Chris
Bluetooth on the G1 is still a work in progress. Only two profiles are supported currently. Headset and handsfree. You will probably have to wait for google to send out an update before you can connect to other peoples phones over bluetooth.
Memory card
I'm trying to put music on my memory card inputted on the G1 but after putting the usb cable in its telling me to insert a disk into drive G when the memory card is already inside !!!
Can you help me please ?
Thanks
Chris
on your phone scroll down the notification bar.
click on the usb connection and mount your phone
out of point
not really about the subject but i just wanted to point out i'm from Gudja, i got my dev phone last December and i switched to Melita on the 6th February, I wanted to ask chris : How has it been with GO? did you get a monthly plan? and was the phone unlocked when you bought it?
thanks
Digirhino
Hi Digirhino, I'm with go on a pay as you go service. Got the phone locked, unlocked it through a code from the seller and the rest all ok.

Also is there any program that add time Hrs Minutes Seconds that works on the Android ?
Thanks
Chris

I believe theres a software of BB for wmo devices, it lets u chat with your bb contacts and stuff...
Hi,
I am wondering if in the meantime anyone did get the Blackberry Connect software successfully run on the HTC Snap?
I bought the Snap in summer, installed several versions of BB connect, but it didn't work...always got the message "PIN pending".
On my HTC Touch HD it works fine...
Has anyone been able to get Blackberry Connect to work?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried before..still not worked..
i tried bb conect for Moto Q..the software can be install..but never got a pin from blackberry apn...the pin always stated as pending.
i tried to change device id via registry..but got same problem..never get a BB pin successfully.
I have worst trouble, trying to use BBC on my Snap (ROM MAPL_3VOLUTION_WM65_3VO.1.60.090209) but after install BBC SW (BBConnect_WM5_Smartphone_BB) and restart device as per request, my Snap gets bricked on the startup (WM6 3evo logo) and only way to recover is reinstall entire mentioned ROM again.
Installed BBC Desktop on my PC, it works but is not able to connect my Snap due to SW not installed on mobile.
Tried to HardSpl original manufacturer ROM (Movistar Spain in my case) also gets bricked, probably due to my previously installed "Dash3G HardSPL1.19 by JockyW" required to flash mentioned ROM MAPL_3VOLUTION_WM65_3VO.1.60.090209.
Each BBC installation test takes me a lot of time to recover system
Any help would really appreciated.
Kind regards.
Found a site with more information, testing but no chance due to I'm not able to find compatible mobile/ROM version:
