Something wrong with the firmware? - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

I have bought my new magic, but it comes with a rather confusing problem. I bought it in China, it's the Taiwan version (i think) and I'm unable to use English. I can change it to English, but if I restart the device, it will hang on the htc magic screen and not reload. I have to hard reset it to make it load again, and then it's in Chinese again.
To do a hard reset hold home and back, press power briefly, then select clear all data. This is useful for anyone who had a working htc magic, and then it suddenly stopped working (especially after changing the language.)
I would like to use English on my phone, but I get the impression that the English file is somehow corrupt, and it affects the whole rom.
Any ideas on what to do next?

Hardware keyboard problem: pressing s or h crashes phone

Hi all,
I've got a strange problem with my wizard:
When I'm pressing s or h on my hardware keyboard, pocket outlook crashes and the phone becomes extremly slow - in fact, it's unusable. Amazignly this only happens, when s or h are at the beginning of the sentence (as the first letter). All other letters are fine.
The problem came up a few days ago - but I don't know what I have changed in the meantime...
Im using TNT 11.0.2.0 ROM (WM 6.1).
Any idea?
Regards,
Rudi
Is it definitely at the start of the sentence only... or could it be when you haven't pressed another key for a while, wherever you are in the sentence?
There is the feature which runs send & receive when you press and hold S. I think H is help. There are other press and hold combinations too.
It is a long shot, but maybe it is related to that feature somehow? Maybe if that feature isn't working correctly it could cause the crashing whilst it tries to load that feature. In fact the first time it runs, it asks you to confirm a message telling you how it works. If that screen got to the back somehow, maybe outlook is left waiting for your input, but you can't input OK as it is behind the current visible screen.
Of course it might be something completely different....
I tought something similar but could not find out, which function will be startet pressing s or h.
So I did a hard reset and installed everything new, and after the hard reset, s and h work as they are supposed to do. This indicates, that some software I installed (and couldn't remember what software it was) installed a function which did not work properly.

Rudi

Major problem with touch screen on Polaris

Hello all... got kind of a big problem that i at the moment don't have an answer to,..
inastalled advanced configuration tool 3.2 on HTC Polaris, the first crash i had was when I enabled animation for menus... (the start menu turned black and the polaris froze), but when i managed to start the advanced configuration tool i unchecked it and it was ok,...
the MAJOR PROBLEM accured when I set the touch screen sensitivity, because the touch part of the screen is inresponsive,.. meaning it does not work at all,.. tryed very hart pressing but it doesn't do it.. the problem is because i can't reach eg start menu or the lower 2 shortcuts with hard button cursor (the wheel)... gestures work however, so i can call the touch flo cube but am not able to select anything, and sam thing goes for enetering pin,.. so i'm not able to make phone calls at the moment.. did few hard resets, and uninstalled the adv. conf. tool but nothing helped... can anyone tel me where (and how to get there) can i adjust this back to normal, i wanted to do this in the advanced configuration tool 3.2 but the problem is you cant make any changes since the screen doesn't work,.. same with reinstalling the program, i can select to install it on a card but canot "click" on next since the screen doesn't do it and the hard keys "can't go there"
so really really someone help me please...
thnx
Are you sure you hard reset and this problem went away or did you mean soft reset?
Maybe aligning the screen will help reset the pressure? Click the button in the middle of the wheel and the GPS button at the same time, the Windows align screen pops up. See if that helps.
I find it very hard to believe that you hard reset and the touch screen sensitivity is still not there. That can't be right.
Hi,
thanx for the reply,... another problem that accoured afterwards was that my friend held the end button (wich locks the keys, screen) and the phone was additionally locked... and literally nothing (again NOTHING ) helped, spent 5 hours trying to save the situation,.. i did soft reset (so your assumption was right) but when later tryed hard reset it probably wasn't done since the instructions say you do it with holding gps and iExplorer buttons while soft reseting it... this resulted in getting the "hard reset screen" wich says to confirm hard reset with hitting the send button, wich unfortunatelly i wasnt able to find in hard keys, and nothing else but this warning text was on the screen as well.. so in the end it probably ended upo wit soft resetting it, anyways it didn't help,... i decided to reinstall the rom i downloaded on htc official site,... it went thru ok and the phone is , though out of the box at least functional,... but in the end, i must admit that am a little surprised this happened with this tool pack (i actually avoided altering the registers just in order to avoid this kid of situations since i don't really know much about these things)... was expecting it to work (in my case) a bit better, more stable. All i wanted really was to get a bit louder speaker volume when ringing and ability to alter the HTC home toolbar, since i find the weather screen totaly irreliable and never really use it, so i thought I would have sth there that i might really have some use of..
well nevertheless.. the phone is working, that's all that matters at the mom so i can again start finishing my phd wich i am defending in a week
PS. the fact that you can not do practically anything without the touch screen just sucks big time, if i compare it to the mouse on pc,... i saved the situation many times with the keybord .. in 1 word strange
take care
My Mobile
Perhaps you should have tryied out the "My Mobile" aplication that allows you to use your mobile from a PC.
It shows a windows with the mobile screen and you can touch it and use the mobile like if you was touching the REAL mobile...
Late for that solucion, perhaps another with that problem can solve it this way...

@gastonfama: am not sure this would help, since a friend that has htc diamond has this tool pack on and it work k ok on his phone,.. that's why i predicted that it is going to be stable enough on mnie as well,.. so in my thinking, if the 2 htc that are rather alike had such different "reaction", than an emulation would be even less comparable to mine, thanks though
Had the same problem with Schaps_AdvancedConfig and wrong HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold setting.
XML I used had "200" as advised value (system default is 2908!),
after changing you could hit it with a hammer and nothing.
Managed to set is back to recommended value 9000 using MyMobiler app and all problems gone.
See also HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold
sys default is 18866, I use now 19866 and I'm happy

I got the same problem, I wanna to install "My Mobiler" but due to the screen is locked, I can't continue the installation, any help ?
well as far as I see here (forgot how i installed it after previous post) you have an exe here :
http://www.mymobiler.com/downsafe.aspx
so you will install it from the pc anyways, but how will you make the confirm on where to install it (mybe if you put storage card out and there will be only 1 memory option, but you will still have to confirm installation i guess).. i wasnt able to confirm without the screen on polaris,.. maybo on some other phone
double post...mistake
I had that same screen not working problem after tweaking the phone with advanced config 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, only hardware buttons work.
Problem can only be solved by Hard Reset. Version 2.2 I think is the only one that works (not thoroughly tested though)

Supertext!

Hey everyone.
Well yeah.. I think I kinda screwed up in this stuff by flashing my HTC Touch Pro in the first place. Onwards to my problem.
Sins im from sweden, I have a swedish keyboard on my touch, the problem is that when i press and hold fn and then press 'p' there should instead appear a 'å' and 'o' results in 'ö'.
So, my question is the following: Is it somehow possible to enable this by installing something else or can i revert back to my old software.. Or am I completely ****ed?
Iw installed the Hard-spl and on top of that I installed DCS-Touch Pro - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421609
I was abit hasty into all of this and shouldn't have done this in the first place, i guess i could just return it and ask for a software re-installation maybe.
Thank you for all your help!

HTC Touch Diamond Text entry problem

Hi all..newbie to this site and to smart phones so excuse the steep learning curve !
Have had the phone for a few weeks and learning lots. All of sudden yesterday when trying to make a calendar entry, the full QWERTY, compact QWERTY, and phone pad can no longer be used to enter text. It's stuck on numeric mode. Tapping the "abc" key on the bottom of the full QWERTY keyboard doesn't change anything. Can still use transcriber and full keyboard for now. BUt when switched to Note program, all entry methods work. Have not installed any new programs lately (besides a few games and new calculator). Have been using S2U2 and Diamond tweaks to help with a few other problems...Help please since this is now my primary calendar and runs my life so need to have this working again!!
you have this problem too? i have the htc diamond keyboardon my device(mwg zinc ii)but sometimes it just enter numbers only. to solve this, i tap on option and tap ok then it works fine again. most people who installed the htc diamond keyboard on their non htc device have this problem too. but this is the first time i heard of a diamond having this problem. did you upgrde to the latest diamond rom?
Yes it's on a brand new Diamond..running ROM version 1.93 dated Oct 30/2008 so I am assuming it's the most up to date one. Just tried it again now, and it let me enter on word in full QWERTY, then it automatically changed to numeric and locked me out of letters again....IT's FRUSTRATING
Ok..thought I bump this up to see if will get more attention.
Contacted HTC Helpdesk in the meantime, and suggestion was to hard reset...ARRGH!!!!
Just so I'm clear, after a hard reset, the device will turn back to factory settings, and all I have to do is sync it with my PC to bring back data, then reinstall programs that I've added, and then tweak the settings that I've already done and the phone will be back to "normal"??? Or are there things that the phone providers (Rogers) put in that won't come back after a hard reset???
this is bull****...mine is doing the same thing..and if u do a hard reset there are a lot of things that have to b reprogramed by sprint
HTC touch diamond full qwerty troubles
I have also had troubles with my touch diamond. Twice I have lost the ABC capability of the full qwerty option and the only option both times was to do a hard reset. The cell phone company could not figure out any other way to fix the problem and it did seem to fix it but there has to be something wrong with the programming to be causing this over and over again.
same as above. stuck number mode for both keyboards on a diamond.
Sometimes it has this kind of problem and when you power it on again it will work well. Everytime when I had this problems, I just power off and on. Then everything is okay. But I don't know the reason. Is that because some apps in the phone? Or the CPU is too busy to react.

[Resolved] [Q] Motorola Atrix strange behavior

Hi.
EDIT: found the solution here
I have a confusing problem with my motorola Atrix.
actually i guess i have the same problem as described here..
Its on the European DACH Retail 2.3.4 Stock ROM.
I can root and unlock it, but there seems to be something really corruptet.
sorry for the strange expressions.. i cant explain it properly in english :/
when I start the Phone the touchfield seems to be callibrated incorectly.
i have to touch the screen "closer to the bottom" to activate whatever i wanna touch on the screen. (for example to unlock the phone i have swipe to place my finger like 1cm _under_ the unlockbar)
this makes it impossible to use the touch keys on the bottom of the screen.
other strange things happen when i unlock the phone and enter cwmRecovery.
buttons are like... switched. sometimes something gets activated without touching anything at all.
I got frustrated and reflashed with RSD Lite 5.6 but the the problems stay!
I have no idea what to do. Is there a way to REALLY reset everything?
As it seems flashing the 2.3.4 DACH stock rom doesn't reset everything.. otherwise problems couldn't stay.
Is there a way to reformat the internat chipsets to its original state?
just to mention: there's no way i damaged the phone by letting it fall on the floor or any other physical manipulation. everything i did was software flashing with the original motorola software updater, cwn, and rsd lite 5.6.
