After having owned a Nokia N900 for about a weeks time i found a HTC Magic by coincidence at a local store here in Baghdad (Iraq). the guy said the unit was new and that it was sent to him by a friend from Holland or whatever. it was a vodafone unit that was unlocked.
being the gadget freak i am i immediately bought the unit for $300 dollars from him.
my issues with it thus far as are as follows:
The screen sensitivity is really awful. What i mean by that is i find myself having to really press onto the screen to get an accurate reaction so this got me confused... isnt this thing supposed to have a capacitive screen? maybe its the screen protector the guy has on (which i am considering removing) thats causing the misbehavior ? another issue is the scrolling (kinetic) is really really awful and sluggish. another issue is for example when you have the keyboard out and typing something the keys on the corners like the P or the A are amazingly difficult to get right. ...
now i know theres no screen calibration but this is awful...
so i am considering taking the protector off... is the screen as durable as the iphone?
I had reset the unit twice thus far (hard reset) and its still sluggish -- not slow but sluggish.
I wanted to install a custom rom on it but i am having tons of issues. some of which is the requirement to create a goldcard (finding to be difficult)
the details on the phone are ::
sapphire pvt 32b
hboot-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
CP LD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Jul 31 2009
It is supposed to be a responsive screen. Try a different screen protector?
Rooting is really easy and simple.. just follow the steps at
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/
Does it have cupcake or donut? You might have to "unroot" to cupcake because rooting is not possible on donut. Follow the instructions at:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/
Of course, no goldcard required!
If you are just having issues with they keyboard then try HTC Keyboard app. Just search the forums for HTC_IME.apk you'll probably also find the calibration tool.
Also, try SuperD or FastTest (I'm currently using it) Rom. Either of them have a lot of cool eclair bits and they FLY!
i dont know about the no goldcard required. and i hope not but with that program shown everytime i click backup it says "Backup failed..."
and i cant get the Flash Recovery image button to come on....
then i tried the http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/
and it says "Model ID incorrect!"
Update fail!
Well this sucks!
Hello
After My Hd2 resets itself it gets stuck at the "stick together" screen and freezes doesn't show the text which rom its running and radio its running. I have to take out the battery for about 10 seconds put it back in and it works. After a while it does the same thing and reset itself. I did a hard reset the problem is still there. Any help would be appropriated
sounds like you flashed a custom rom and didnt match the radio.
oh wait, this is tmous section, all the radios work with all the roms. Hmm, did you task 29 and not flash yet? that would give grey screen with no writing.

All radio's DO NOT work with TMoUS. If a 1024 LEO get's installed with a .51 radio then it will brick it.
But it does sound like a bad custom ROM install if it goes into a cyclic boot. There is a few files that will cause this, but I suggest to re-download the ROM and install again.

Yeah, i already re-downloaded the roms went to kumars then back to energy problem is still there. =(
yea sorry I worded that sloppily. what I meant was that any tmous rom would boot regardless of the radio, assuming the radio was a tmous.(us with regular leos get that grey screen with no rom info when we flash a tmous rom with our original radio, and won't boot till the radio is changed. a situation that tmous users will never come across)
cambxo, have you checked the battery connection pins? People have experienced symptoms similar to yours (resetting and never getting past the boot screen) when one or more of the little gold pins gets bent. Can't guarantee that's the issue, but it's worth a look.

You sure your battery charge pins aren't bent too? I bent some pins on my touch pro and it never worked right after that. Even though I straightened them out. Lots of resetting and freezing.

Yeah, i checked the pins doesn't look bent.
Does it feel like it's getting hot just before it resets itself? The device will get fairly warm normally, but it's possible that you're having overheating issues, just based on the fact you've connected the issue to periods of heavy usage...

Just contacted t-mobile can't get a replacement because it was a gift. =( Anyone know any way i can get it repair or get a replacement besides t-mobile?

Sorry SAMSAMUEL, didn't mean to blast ya, just wanted to put that out there just in case someone read it wrong.
Thanks for all your info out there!
so now im having this same issue...i was on the phone for like 4 hrs ...and then it just reset ...now this happens ...pins arent bent idk what to do ...it wnt even startup just keeps resetting help please
I don't think there's a solution to this problem. I went on the t-mobile forums multiple of people are having the same problem as we are. I called t mobile last week and got a replacement. I guess that's the only solution. Try calling t mobile and getting a replacement.

Wow, thank you very much. Though i brick mine until i saw this. Thank alot. That's a bad design for pin heh?
Well i just got a HTC My Touch 1.2 with the jack on top...
i rooted it via GoldCard, and it seemed to work.
Here are the phones stats
Sapphire Unkown 32B ship S-on H
HBoot 1.33.0009 (sapp31000)
CPLD-13
Radio 3.22.20.17
May 8 2009 21.02.32
I then tried to install some roms, the only one that i got to take is
CM6-FroyoRedux-2.0-32a
It looks great and is alot faster than the stock 1.6
the problem is that the headphone sign is on, it's right next to the 3g sign on the top bar.
Now i can't hear the phone ring, and i can't talk via the phone. I cave to use the speaker phone for all calls. So some where along the line i did something wrong. And i have no clue what to do, i've tried changing roms, and everything hangs at the red vodofone screen, or it just reboots over and over. But i can always reload CM6-FroyoRedux-2.0-32a and it goes back to work just with the headphone glich...
Any help would greatly be apreciated. i'm new to the phone roms, but have a vast experiance with computers. so i'm a little noobish. but i can run the sdk fine, and the fastboot ect runs good.
Thanks
Well i got this rom to work on the phone.
2.2.1_FRG83D_32a
again, works great but still no sound when i make a regular call.
i have to use speaker phone...
Weird... If anyone has a clue why,
thanks in advance.

Hello everyone
I have HTC Magic 32A, 6.35.16.19, SPL 1.76.2007
I have a strange problem with my phone. That is my touch screen is not working. But when i put the phone on to the radiator or on a hot stuff, it starts to work! After a while its freezing again. Yeah thats true, im not kidding
I dont know why it happened but is there anyone who has the same problem with me? I guess theres a problem with the touch screen and i need to change it but if i know that somebody has the same problem and can help me how he/she fixed this problem i will be grateful for this.
change your radio or flash a newer rom this is how i fixed my phone
Do you live in Antarctica?

@djtar thanks, iwill try to flash older radio,
@DonJuan692006, so funny, you better to ask your Optimus T!
I have a rooted tmobile mytouch 4g phone. its running royal ginger 3.0. its has s-on and i replaced the screen and i got the phone without the original nandroid backup or the original rom.
the screen needs to be recalibrated so i can actually use it but i spent weeks looking up this problem.
i havent found any forum or solution for this.
applications havent worked either along with the factory reset
I cant use the keyboard due to the calibration problem only the track pad
I NEED HELP!!!!!! PLEASE! SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!
i've had the phone for a month like this and i just got it 2 days before the screen broke
I thought the display driver handled that? I've never heard of a way to calibrate an android phone of any kind. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I've seen several threads where people replaced their digitizer and had no issue with alignment. Hmm.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
yeah same here-.-
I tried every rom i could possibly try to see if it has the calibration option like most stock rom'd phones have
but i tried to put the original rom but it says "errors" or "bad"
I think it has something to do with the s-on or something but the original mytouch 4g rom has the screen calibration option
This is all bad for this phone
ts_cal how and numbers mytouch 4g
does anyone know how to do the manual calibration off of the terminal?
the ts_cal and the numbers?
i need to do it asap
