Magician Opie-II xanadux 'no modem' message

[bkortleven]

if this post is in the wrong place, let me know where it should be, or move it for me and notify me... thanks and sorry if posted in the wrong place...



I tried using the howto to run the OPIE-II linux distro, and it starts up just fine, looks great and very promising... BUT...
I cannot make a phone call. The message 'no modem' keeps appearing, and won't go away.
I noticed some settings panel, mentioning the modem selection, where I could select the serial /dev/ttyS0 at 115200bps, a SIM:local and SIM;hostpc (correct me if I'm wrong), but none of them seem to resolve the issue.

Now I'm having an issue in WM2003SE too with the reception and service of this device (MDA compact version), not making calls and telling me there is "no service", although my other HTC cell (trinity) next to it does it all, full coverage...


My questions are:
- what device or location do I need to point the modem to? /dev/...?) and at what speed if necessary..
- how can I troubleshoot this issue?
- how can I connect onto the dropbear ssh server (address, port, user, pass, ... to get into the phone)


Any ideas are welcome!

Thanks for the help...

I'm not sure, but I had similar issues on a Universal device...

The trick was to pin-disable the sim card from WM5/6...
go to the security settings in Windows Mobile, where you can set another pin, and disable it there...
I know it's not secure! but it's a possible solution for this issue...
I know the Universal (Qtek 9000 and similar devices) has an issue with the sim-unlock-pin stuff, and it might be the same on Magician.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not able to confirm on mine, as the radio reception is dead on my Magician system, still waiting for a quote from a UK-based repair shop... or another phone to be bought...
If anyone knows a good repair shop for HTC phones, pref'ly in the BeNeLux area, or around, please let me know!

Thanks, and good luck
Once my phone has reception again I'm restarting imaging and testing on my device...

1 - Try to install OpenMoko - all work. Sound,GSM,Blootuth.

2 -Peopls who coddding OPIE, say :"The GSM is working on the Qtopia image (kernel), the fact is that the Phone application does not know how to handle it."

I have tried the opieII image and it is really nice!!! everything works quite quick and smooth, and i love the keyboard

I get the same error with the modem problem. i would use it as an everyday device with the linux image i was that impressed with it

I got the image from here http://www.linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/htcmagician/

I tried the openmoko image from that site but i get errors in the image when i try to boot it.

I managed to install the openmoko image from this site http://grigio.org/howto_openmoko_htc_magician_s100_dual_boot_wince and while it did boot ok, it too had no gsm capability and i found it slow and hard to use. The image on there does seem to be nearly 12 months old and so there could be something so much better out there.

Anyone know where there are any newer images for the magician?? i know the openmoko project is still going full steam, but im guessing that it takes a bit of work to get the latest version of that onto a magician (adding in specific drivers etc)

anyone with information or needing help (i will try) can email me or msn me on moosepr@hotmail.com
