HTC Magic :: Feedback People Who Went From IPhone 3g To Magic
Sep 11, 2009
Ght now I have a iPhone 3g and I am tired of how tight apple has it locked up. And I want an android baed phone. So I have my sights on the htc magic. For people that made the switch. Do you honestly like it better? I don't care if it doesn't blow the iPhone out of the water I just want somethin onpar with the iPhone. Just better will I be satisfied with the magic if I make the switch to android or should I wait for a G4 or something? I can't get the hero cause non currently or ever will support my art carrier. So I am planning to go with an Rogers htc magic.
Please share with me your experiances going from iPhone to magic.(I typed this in iPhone so might be some typeos I didn't proof read.)

Sadly, the Android Market in Canada does not have any paid apps. I was just wondering is there any way I can put themes onto my phone? I find that it really sucks that I can't use any of the dxtop themes or openhome themes in the market unless I actually have the app itself (which I cannot purchase).

I was wondering if anybody docks their Magic (or similar) to one of those thing-a-ma-bobs that holds it between two speakers? They're generally made for iPods but hold other players as well.Because of the wee USB port, I have bought a little adaptor so now I've got 3.5mm jack, but I don't know how well that would dock.
I just want something cheap so I can set it on the kitchen counter whilst making dinner and washing up. I don't even necessarily need it to be at a good angle, so I could just buy a cheapie pair of stereo speakers, but thought something small and compact would be more convenient if I want to move things around to different rooms.I went ahead and bought something verrah verrah cheap off Amazon. I'm not looking for a Carnegie Hall experience, so cheap oughta do the trick. But, would still like to hear about your gadget if you want to talk about it.

Anyway just recently got my best skins ever. If you don't know its a clear skin that goes over your phone to protect it from scratches. Anyway here is my review on it.Installation on this skin, like all skins, is fairly hard. Here are some great tips that really helped me move the proccess along.
1) Using an exacto-knife (or even better a model knife), cut the top piece near the earphone and the bezel piece into two. I guarantee you this will help GREATLY!
2) Do the same on the face buttons, and the bottom bezel. Here is an illustration
3) Palm technique: This is a well-know technique among people who use skins often. On skins, corners often don't stick down. So what do you is wait a couple of minutes, usually 5, then using the palm of your hand press down on the corner and hold it for 30 seconds. The corner usually goes down, if not wait a bit more for the solution to dry then try it again. It is extremely useful for area's that just won't stick down.
4)Another thing that helped me, was get a deck of cards and tape them together. Put your phone on the top and apply the skin then. This helps to make sure your skin doesn't skin to the table.
5) The last thing is never, ever apply your skin over a paper towel, since the dust from it can stick to your skin. And make sure no dust gets under the protector because it is a huge pain to perfectionists like me.

I live and use my HTC Magic in Australia on Vodafone. I'm considering rooting it so I can get Android 2.0 or 2.1. I've read though that doing this stops me from being able to use the GPS and a couple other things. Is this true? If so, what other downsides are there to rooting the Magic? And is there a way to get the best of both worlds? Maybe I can get an app that gives me GPS back?

Have any of you tried the compact keyboard with the Magic - it's better. It's like the Blackberry compact keyboard... I type much faster with it thanks to the bigger keys giving you better accuracy.

Wonder you guys have experience this issue with the keyboard whether is in Portrait or Landscapre, I noticed that the last row "keys" are not sensitive.. you will have to touch the 'key" button a little above the bottom line of the screen to be able to sense it.

I'm considering rooting my magic and there are a few things I'd like to ask first.
Model number: HTC Magic
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband version: 62.525.20.18U_3.22.20.17
Kernel version: 2.6.27-dd62d1eb u70000@Android-X01 )
Build number: 2.16.61.6 146733 CL#33776 release-keys
I have a Rogers non-google branded phone with 288mb ram(version 32a)
In a cmd prompt when I typed adb devices it said
"list of devices attached
HT95MNK00979 device"
so anyway.. my first question is, if I screw up, what happens? How likely is it that I will be able to fix it? I have a 2 year warranty so can I sent it in to rogers and have them reflash the original rom?
I was thinking of using this guide. HowardForums: Your Mobile Phone Community & Resource - The Offical "How do I do techie stuff" Thread
it seems pretty easy to follow but I was wondering if there are any better/easier/more up to date breakthroughs out there for the rogers magic. any one have one they thing is better?
does it sound like I have everything set up right judging by what came up when I typed adb devices?
it says, "grab fastboot.exe from here (HTC - Support - Flashing your Android Dev Phone with a Factory System Image) and place it in the tools directory of the sdk." There is already a fastbook.exe in the tools directory of my sdk. Should I replace it? I may have put it in there a while ago when I first installed the sdk but I don't think I did..
it says, " [optional]. make a backup with nandroid". How exactly do I do this? I've screen shots of the device where it says something about a nandroid backup. will the option to make a backup just show up on my screen? can I just move it from my sd card to my computer after that?
do I do all of this with the device in fastboot? It doesn't really say in the walkthrough. at what point can I not return?
what rom will I end up with at the end? just the original rogers rom except with root access?

I have a My Touch 3G phone I bought in america. Its basically a HTC magic but with a different name and more importantly different (american) software.
It very annoying living in the UK and having it. The Market always diverts to American apps, google maps goes to US first. Google always show american search (even though i go to google.co.uk).
How I can change the software to HTC magic software so it really becomes a HTC magic?

I'm really interested in buying a Desire although, unlike some, I intend to buy the phone outright with no contract as I already have a contract I am happy with.However, despite people saying this phone is cheaper than the iPhone, average prices are about 400 which is about the same price you can pick up a 16gb 3Gs. So, am I missing something? Whilst here, am I correct in thinking HTC offer a 2 year Warranty? For 400 I would like at least some safety in case it breaks through no fault of my own.

I had an iPhone 4S but upgraded to the HTC.
For some reason I can't text people with an iPhone. I still have the 4S and I turned iMessage off. I went on the Apple Support site and looked at the devices and clicked the "X" to unregister my phone and my macbook.
Im still not able to receive texts from people with an iphone. I can send them messages but can not get them back. I am also able to send and receive calls.

I got htc magic mytouch-I got it from States(its t-mobile) and I was using here in Canada with my fido..There was no problem for couple months but then I did format it.. The problem was my new 16gb sd card. I tried to format to card many times but it didnt work.. Then I formatted to the phone. Now when I put my sim card in and turn on the phone, I put my gmail username and password.. It says there's no internet connection or something wrong with my service provider which is Fido.. All APN setting are correct.. and I checked my sim card with other phones, I can connect to internet.. I tried hundreds times its allways same message. and I cannot turn on the phone without any internet connection.

Maybe I am missing something obvious here. Often at home I want to turn off the phone to avoid work calls, texts, etc, but would like to use the internet facilities of the phone via WiFi.Is there a way of turning off the phone but leaving WiFi on? I gave found airplane mode which turns off ALL wireless features, but no way to just turn off the phone?

I recently got an unlocket Rogers HTC Magic(upgraded from iphone) and well...I'm LOVING it so far! The problem is that I'm in US and havn't seen the 3g icon. I currently don't have a PDA plan but a Unlimited Media Net plan that I was using with another PDA phone but doesn't work on the Magic. I'm willing to upgrade to a PDA plan but if I can't have 3g...Well I know I can, since Rogers and ATT use the same 3g frequency but the real question is why I havn't seen the icon?
