HTC :: Mytouch Extremely Disappointed With Repair
Aug 27, 2010
A few weeks back, my HTC Mytouch (Magic)'s headphone jack stopped working. I had called them up and had an RMA set up to have it fixed.In the box, I had included a typed note stating the problem, stating the phone is unlocked and that I would like it returned unlocked, and a simple request to remove dust from under the screen (since they would have the phone apart anyways)
Anyways, when I get the unit back, they changed motherboards (new IMEI number), re-locked the phone and didn't clean the dust out from under the screen. I called HTC support on Monday and explained how the phone was unlocked when sent in and because it is a different IMEI number than the one that I purchased, T-Mobile wouldn't supply the unlock code. The woman on the phone said it could take 48 hours for them to get back to me with the code.I called HTC and they said it could take up to 72 hours to get the code. Called yesterday. Was told that the guy had emailed the support team directly and I would have it by this morning. Called and they said it would take 7-14 days and it would be text-messaged to me. I'm really, really ****ed off. They didn't read the note I included and wrapped the phone in and they are taking forever to get the code to me. T-Mobile isn't any help because I had initially bought the phone and used it as a pre-paid. Closed the account there a few months back.

I bought an E72 last weekend, because I needed a phone that has long battery life. I have to say I'm really disappointed with Software on the E72. My last 2 smart phones were Treo 650 and Apple iPhone(s). I'm still hanging onto my iPhone after this whole experience with the E72, and I'll still keep my E72 and hold out Hope that Nokia will improve. Given Palm Os not Web OS over the current Symbian OS on my E72 I'd take Palm OS.The problem is not the Hardware, Nokia phones are gorgeous infact I would say better looking than RIM's or HTC for devices with physical keyboards. The problem is Software, having used the E72 for about a day and a half I realized that my iPhone didn't really come with an instruction manual... after trying to figure out how to configure the E72 I resorted to Google and the Manual that came with the E72, there are still some unanswered questions.
The main problem with the software is that there is NO flow... when I use it, it feels like the people who developed it each when in their own direction. For example updating software... the first thing I did when I started the phone is I plugged it into the charger, and tried to check for software updates... I found out via google there is a separate way to update firmware and actual software the SWUpdate program doesn't do firmware. Why not? and if it doesn't why don't you tell the user? to update the software you can download it via pc and upload it, punch in some key combo on the device and check for over the air updates.Another problem is the software introduces the idea of "profiles" fantastic something I wish the iPhone had...there are different ways to change profiles "Mode" (work/personal) "Destination" (for connection profiles) are these 2 things linked??? I don't know it doesn't feel like it... I thought if I created a work destination and a home destination I can link it to a mode. I'm not sure if I can or can't do that. This leads to the problem of Applications always BUGGING you when it needs to connect to the internet. Why can't apps be smart and use the data connections set in the DESTINATION based on priority?
User interface of even the Nokia apps is terrible... for example the Nokia Messaging application that connects to Ovi, Gtalk, Yahoo and MSN.... the Tabs at the top of the screen to switch between services takes up 1/3 of the screen space WHY? Why can't you just combine all the lists or atleast provide an option to combine all the user lists into 1 big list?Other problems that I had to google... when trying to update the OVI Store application I got a certificate error during the install process... The root cause of the problem was that the date/time was set incorrectly on the phone it took a good 30-40 minutes of googling to find that.Is there a way to quit programs in your task manager or application switcher without actually switching to them?The file manager for seeing files on your phone and SD Card are in OFFICE again what kind of logic is that?

I just got an n900 and very disappointed .I can't download music to it via the PC suite I have downloaded some small apps and themes to my PC that I can't install through the application installer- it says that there is no memory left to install a tiny app when i have 20+GB available
Im used to my N95 doing it no problemthe whole phone seems unfinished - a half assed job and im reading posts from people with the same issues saying "nokia is going to bring out a PC suite for the n900 that will work" and "OVI will be working soon" that date back to February
I also fully charged it overnight its been on for 4 hours and the battery is nearly flat and I have only plugged in the mini USB thingo 3 times and the input socket is really loose.No EQ on the music player?? and no ability to edit the track names/artists in the menu.The N95 not only had EQ but stereo widening and other cool features - What a step down.i can't believe it - it almost 100% useless

I have to admit that I'm really disappointed about the quality of the mail client on the E72. I assumed that the E72 as a business device will cover e-mail, the most important business app, in a satisfying way which is not the case.
The datasheet states that IMAP idle is supported which as far as I can tell is not the case. Whatever settings you try to change the connection to the IMAP server is terminated after some minutes and no notification on new emails will take place.
In addition you are able to define multiple connection points with priority but you are not able to use them by the mail client in this way. You either have the possibility to set only one specific connection point or you have to select the desired on each time the device tries to connect to your mail servers.
What I expect is to specify different WLAN access points and UMTS of my provider with different priorities and the device is using whatever is available at my current location taking priorities into consideration.
It's a pain to see how easily and self-evident all these work on the iPhones of my business partners.I'm a loyal Nokia user since the early days of mobile communication but I have to admit that this time I seriously consider defecting to the dark side.

I ordered a phone through a line that was upgrade eligible for another line. They said that when I get the phone I call AT&T and get the SIM card ready to be activated for the other line.I called them up and gave them the "IMEI" number. They said that that iPhone 4 was now associated with my other line. However, when I plugged it into iTunes, it still said the original line. The customer service rep insisted that when it was activated it would activate on the correct line.Sure enough, it didn't. It activated on the original line - now I am stuck without an iPhone 4 - I don't have an AT&T store where I live so I can't just get a replacement SIM card. The original lines phone is now deactivated and activated with MY iPhone 4. I now have to wait for them to ship out a SIM card which will take another WEEK.Because of AT&T I am now left without a phone, my iPhone 4 is now activated on another line, and thus have to wait a week to get it fixed.Thank you AT&T for screwing up again, further proving you to be the worst wireless carrier I have ever been a customer of.

I realize this is an old topic but I needed insights on the phone from anyone who has knowledge/experience. I'm a complete n00b to smart phones as the htc magic or mytouch would be my first one. Anyway I know the htc magic is the original european version of Tmobile's mytouch 3g. I've done a little research and heard that the Magic has more RAM, and a few other perks that the mytouch did not come with. I actually am thinking about buying an unlocked magic and using it here (washington DC) with t-mobile. Ultimately, my question is, does anyone have any feedback on using the magic on a tmobile network? Since vodafone is the provider for the Magic, would I be missing out on cool features available only on the European network? And would I be better off just sticking to the US tmobile version?

I am looking to make my mytouch _slide_ work in a docking station application for my car. My question is about the mytouch (non slide) audio adapter. Will the slide version still output audio thru the microusb port audio adapter that is intended for the non-slide version?

I have my MT3G unlocked to use any SIM I want. With the current SIM, the phone always starts up with a message saying for me to enter the PIN. Gets annoying. Is there a way to deactivate this?

I've noticed via search that I'm not the only one who sees issues with the clear plastic piece in the back cover of the Mytouch 3G. It won't stay clean and ruins camera pictures. The usual Q tip route doesn't seem to work; maybe there are scratches on this cover for some reason. Has anyone found a back cover replacement for the Mytouch 3G that has a bigger/better clear plastic piece over the camera lens?

I'm new to the Android world and settled on a Mytouch Slide from T-mobile. A week after buying this phone, I am running low on internal storage.The phone has 512 megs of storage, but even after I did a factory reset, I started with only 137 megs.I guess the operating system eats up most of that memory. T-mobile recommends always keeping 30 megs free, so the bottom line is I have just over 100 megs for apps.
What I don't understand is this.The phone came with an 8 gig microSD card, but I have read you can't store apps on this.So unless I am misunderstanding something here, I only have 100 megs for apps, but I have 8 gigs that are completely worthless unless I want to take tons of pictures or use my phone as an iPod. This can't be right, no company would be this stupid.So my question is, what am I doing wrong here? How am I supposed to manage my apps? I can't figure out how to move them to my SD card, and I don't even see a place on the marketplace where I can save a list of what I have downloaded for easy access later. The best I can figure, you have to constantly manage your apps, and then if you want one that you deleted, you have to search for it in the marketplace and download it again?
I just refuse to believe this is accurate. I've never had an iPhone before, but I have friends who do, and they never complain about running out of space for apps.

It seems that the slide has build issues. My first slide, the battery cover made a squeak sound from being held during a phone call. My second slide, when I slide up the screen for texting and press the back key (by the genius button) it squeaks like crazy. These squeaks are like 2 plastic being smashed together. Wondering if anybody else had such problems.

my BB Torch has started getting extremely hot when in use, particularly when making or receiving calls. The phone then also starts to "Call Fail" when it gets so hot. The phone gets so hot it almost burns your skin if you put the phone in your pocket. If I don't use the phone at all, it then cools down again, but as soon as I start to use it again it heats up. Also when I charge the phone it starts to charge then stops, then when you pull the charger out and plug it in again it charges again normally.
It does not get extremely hot all the time. It might work half the day normally, then all of a sudden it will just start heating up and start "dropping" the calls.I took it in to my Service Provider today and they sending it off to Blackberry for them to look at the phone to see what is wrong.

Okay, so the past month or so my iPhone 4 gets extremely hot if its plugged into anything at all. Headphones, charger, car adapter. It seems like its getting worse. Went to AT&T and they told us we would have to go to Apple. Went to Apple and they said everything looks fine, no water damage etc. My phone is out of its one year warranty. They said they would replace it for 149.99. However, I am due for an upgrade in 4-5 months and would like to upgrade to the 4s then.
I'm not sure what to do. Like I said it gets dangerously hot and could burn your face if you hold it to it when its hot.
Info:iPhone 4, iOS 5.1

since i made the transition to iCloud, whenever I open the calendar app and press "+" to add a new calendar item, the app is unresponsive for 30 to 50 seconds, before i can make a new entry.I have an iPhone 4, with iOS5.1 with a G3 connection in the German Telecom network. However, the same is true, if I am in a WLAN network at home or other places. I suspect it has something to do with iCloud syncing, since the little clock symbol is rotating.

Synchronizing my N96 with ovi suite via bluetooth is horribly slow.Transferring only a single photo for example takes about 10 minutes.Even when I only sync contacts and messages, I can wait like 5 minutes or longer.Is there any known issue about syncing an N96 with ovi suite via bluetooth?I cant imagine why it would take so long.When I use direct file transfer, and not ovi suite, to transfer the same photo to my PC, it works at normal speed. (less than 10 seconds)When I use the usb cable to sync to ovi suite, its working at normal speed as well.Any ideas about this?
