Hey guys,
I'm sorry I have fully researched this, so feel free to flame me for it. But I'm strapped on time during my lunch break. I'm living in Germany and was using my T-Mo mt4g to make wifi calls with the US. That phone died mid use. I'm trying to find a phone in Germany that I can root and put wifi calling on. I found an HTC Magic available, which I understand is the same as the mt3g. Can anyone tell me if there is a stable ROM with stable WiFi calling? That would be all I use this phone for, and if someone can confirm a ROM that would work on the Magic with WIFI calling, then I will go after work today to buy it. Thanks in advance.

Weird! I have a MT4GS and a MT3G with Yoshi 1.5 on it.
While this isn't exactly what you are asking for, my MT3G with Yoshi 1.5 and the paid application "Groove IP" works extremely stable for me.
You will need a free Google Voice account and the $4.99 app Grove IP.
I assume you need wifi calling for calls back to the US.
Hopefully this works for you!

Hi, i am planing to buy the htc magic this weekend with vodafone australia.
I heard the the sense ui (hero rom) will be an update for the device in the neer future.
but i also heard that it will only be coming to specific magic devices...something about weather it has google written on it or something.
I was wondering weather anyone has any idea on weather the htc magic with Vodafone Australia will be getting this update.
If this is not possible i know i am able to root my device and get the sense UI. But will it work just as good as on the hero? As it only has 192mb ram and 288 on hero.
also, if i am going to have to root the device. Does anyone have the stock rom for the australian vodafone magic?
I am warried that i will not be able to find the right rom as vodafone australia has made their own little teaks to the rom, and if its any different it will void my warrenty. :S
P.S If there is any reason why i should not buy this phone, PLEESE TELL ME.
P.P.S I know theres no bluetooth for file sharing yet but i also heard theres an app called bluexx or somthing. I heard for some countries this app doesnt work... has anyone in australia got bluetooth to work?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE! AND SORRY FOR LONG POST.
OMG...i just found out that if u buy the phone with three then it hasn't got the with google written on the back....and on the three version it has 288mb ram instead of the 192mb with vodafone.
So if you buy the phone with three you get updates??
and if you buy it with vodafone you don't?
that's a scam...
It's a shame because vodafone is offering a much better deal, i guess this is why.
i'll still probly end up rooting it. so all other questions still need answering badly.
PLEASE HELP
AND THANKS

i have a 3 aust. magic, rooted the day i got it. nandroided original rom in case of warranty.
bluex works great-used it the other day.
as for updates no one really knows....too bad for me now that i am rooted- ithink modded roms are ahead of the google/htc android curve in many aspects anyway....

ahhh thank you very much!
just what i wanted
I am starting to lean towards the hero though :S
The only differences between the two are,
multitouch,
Teflon coating,
5mp camera,
flash player 10
umm
I think that multitouch on the magic actually works
and I'm pretty sure you can get flash player for magic aswell?
could anyone confirm that these are the only differences?
and if the other 2 can be added on magic?

flash is available on hero rom.
multi-touch is avail on hero rom
I can see your issue but here is the main thing- here in australia, the magic is here and now- here- no wrranty issues (if buying OS), the Hero wont be here for another month or 2 and oyu know that release dates often get pushed back, by the time it is released there will be an even faster/prettier phone being released 2months after......
I love my magic- wasnt sure i would, just wanted the 3 half price data plan...was gonna sell on ebay and keep my g1.....now for limestar's super android phone (see whirlpool forums) coming at the end of the year....the magic will do me until then.....

Has any1 found a turn by turn voice navigation (gps) software for a android phone? if so can someone please link me?
P.S. please don't refer me to something that uses data useage... i understand the software may cost, but i don't want to be paying for internet usage.
THANKS
For turn by turn get copilot. Not free but way less than standalone GPS, and best of all you download the maps to SD so they're always there and NO data usage

with copilot... how did u get Australian maps for android?
It seems there's only Australian maps with winmo.
THANKS
Whoops. Sorry didn't see you're in Oz - CoPilot site lists it as coming soon, I'm UK where maps already out.
Don't think there is any other Turn By Turn app on the market at the moment
You in Melbourne? If so let me know and I'll take you through the ADP1 and ION phones to show you what the difference in memory means in terms of performance.

i guess if the ram doesn't make much difference to the hero rom speed,
ill get the vodafone 1
its 59 a month and 500mb data and $350 credit.
its 58 a month on three with only 150 credit haha.
ohhh, and with copilot, i heard that it's going to be getting australian maps next month or so.
seems as it has a picture of hero with copilot, im guessing it will come out when hero does?? anyone with more information on that pleese tell. ^.^
I have the vadaphone $59 plan and it great.
Small issue though that after 2 days of excitement and grabing as much as I can from the market, mid stream using the internet explorer someone rang and the unit haulted. After a reset I had the android boot loop which forced me to change the rom.
I went and uploaded the Fatality Hero, its great but slowish at times, internet seems slower and 3g not working.
Is there an aussie rom that has the hero roms that work with our 3g.

This is probably something you've already tried but if 3g is not working make sure your APN settings are filled out correctly as it may not have auto-detected. Had this issue with dad's Magic (he bought one outright the day he saw mine delivered from 3).
Beautiful device. Though I hope we'll still get Android 2.0 when it hits because from what I hear most of the Android devices next year will be on Snapdragon (1 ghz chip) which will probably **** on the magic hardware wise. Still a while away yet.

Hi, do you still have your Nandroid backup of the 32A or the original Three rom. When I rooted my phone and flashed the ROM I was still too much of a noob to know exactly what to do with Nandroid, so I lost my factory setup. Is there any chance you could post an image?
help me with my HTC magic
i paid the code from allgsm adn just got the code, i found the following but when i put in different sim card. nothing happen. did not show enter network/unlock code. just a cross at the signal logo. how to enter code ??
HTC, SPV, MDA, XDA, iMATE and T-Mobile G1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to enter my Unlock Code on HTC, SPV, MDA, XDA, iMATE and T-Mobile G1 ? Model : All (including G1)
1 - Switch ON mobile with a not Allowed SIM Card,
2 - If phone ask, enter the PIN code of your SIM Card
3 - Now phone will ask you to enter the unlocking code !
Due to issues with "Credit" being issued for someones gain. this rom is gone.
for the ones who this is working i hope you enjoy.

well id love to hear your experience. trieng to make a generic rom was fun lol
I am on Reliance India and using Sprint on phone in Reliance
but some how all Latest Sprint Dump ROM dont work for 1x Data in India with all Radio
Old 1.56 RUU get me back to 1.5 Cupcake version with Data but all Damaged 2.05 and fresh ROM 2.02d Breaks the 1x Data Radio
Let me try this
Good Work
It's everything I would have expected to see in a 2.1 release from my carrier. The apps included are exactly what I remember being on my stock 1.5 but running much smother. I've only used it for 24 hrs or so (and now am awaiting a link yet another new rom to try out LOL) battery life seems good but had to get rid of 50% time without signal with airplane mode. nothing new. I couldn't get google voice outbound to work even using the 0.2 ver. but vmail came through fine. Superuser and all the lights worked. Had to use the fix to get quick Boot working
all in all tho GOOD WORK!! I Liked it.
Thank you
All ROMs that sprint has released they mostly work with CS Hero just few little problems here and there.
I will link this post if you dont mind to my post.
Thank you again
Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone is working on making that app work for HD2 android.
I was checking around and I saw that it works fine on the nexus and on the Vibrant.. And since its pretty much one of the most important apps for me - I was wondering if anyone is gonna port it to HD2. It would help a lot of people that are on T-mobile and do not have good signal at home..
Thank you much!
Anyone that can help?
Seems to be a "No".
Looks like you're the first volunteer
No, its not going to work on the HD2, you need hardware for Wifi Calling to work otherwise T-Mobile would have implemented this feature in all of their phones.

Nexus one users are enjoying it right now....
I'm confident that one of the devs will figure it out eventually for us.
The app "works" just fine on the HD2, it just cannot authenticate with T-Mo servers... It gets stuck on enabling. Same thing was happening to N1 users until the Kernel and lib hacks from yesterday

Yeah I hope so too.. It works just fine on the nexus and on the vibrant..
And its a badass app...
The problem is that probably nobody will work on it, since most of the devs are from outside the US and this app is pretty much for US T-Mobile users..
So here is my story,
Couple days ago I found this my touch 4g and decided to check it out. I'm a HD2 user for a long long time and I can say is one of the best phones out there, especially with the support that it gets from this forum. I'm running HyperDroid-GBX-v12 on my HD2, again for a long long time , and I have unlimited data plan, which has worked fine so far, since from the beginning when it was originally a windows phone but when I placed my sim into MT4g I can't get any Internet connection through t-mobile, wi-fi working fine, even though the connection icon "H" shows active.
My MT4g is rooted and I'm running " Virtuous Unity v1.29.0" , but I had the problem even when it was running stock.
Any help wil be appreciated, thank you in advance !
same exact problem. any help?
Call T-Mobile and they'll fix it, I think it has something to do with the hd2 being a windows phone and the mt4g is android from the get go.

So how on earth do you expect to make a phone call without actually being connected to something ? Without being connected to SOMETHING, then you're on your own, literally !

Congratulations on your first post. To appreciate your very useful post that can benefit the community, i have thanked your post. This is so that members can click on your profile, click on 'Find all thanked posts by betrayer0177 ' and view that wonderful post of yours. And oh yes, maybe you should start a new thread asking on 'How to make an Evo 3d from air'. Maybe your intelligence is spatial, so i will just describe how to make a call without a SIM. First, power up your phone(yes,in case u r asking-battery is needed),switch on your wifi(this is done via the touchscreen,not via some telepathic drugs) and install one of the apps in the link.(http://www.androidauthority.com/top-best-free-calls-android-phones-voip-19829/)...fiy,you have to download the app from the market.for example, for 'Fring',type in 'Fring' in the search bar using your hands,not your dickhead.Then install it. Use the app for your calls.And if you also dont have any wifi in your house,try to search for unsecured networks or tap on a public wifi.Good luck and once again, thank your for this excellent post.You have enlightened our day and wasted about 5mins of our lives.

Your best bet would be to pop into a T-Mobile store and ask for a Pay As You Go SIM to use with your phone. Use that to tide you over until you get your new phone.
Or use a landline!
Why not use snail mail?

well,i seriously admire you Dirk.Sorry for mine and a few others' damning posts,but clearly,this guy's request is like demanding a time travel machine.Its not possible in this world. He says he doesnt want to use any form of networks...wth!!...anw i helped by describing how to make free calls using wi-fi...if that doesnt cut it for him,i dont think anything will.but again, I hope he gets the point and uses something like Fring or a prepaid card.
As this has finally received a sensible answer....
