The exact same one as in the link above? Chrome control panel, etc?
Exactly the same ... in white
When I plug the remote, nothing appears on the phone, no notification.
When I use the music related buttons, the music player doesn't show but an icon appears in the taskbar to show it's playing music.
Green and red buttons to Answer / make calls work too.
Perhaps something related to the Rogers device ?
Mine still plays music through the handset and not through the headphones. And none of the buttons work. This is annoying.. I am surprised there is only a few of us with this thing.. lol.
I think i have tried it on a few differnent roms, and still no luck. I don't see how it could be a hardware thing.. feels like a driver thing. Even if the music doesn't come out of the headphones, there is no way it should still come from the handset!!!

I'm interested on getting this thing to work, too. I'm running cynogenmods 4.0.1 rom on a 32b device from Vodafone germany and I can hear the music in my headphones but the buttonds don't work and the mic does appear to work.

I highly doubt this.
The only thing I can foresee is that a lot of these sites selling them are saying they are available late August, so perhaps they are coming out with the same device that does have new drivers for it.
Unless richermartyn has downloaded said drivers and his remote is working perfectly.
I am jealous that some of you actually have part of it working. Nothing on it works for me.
What type of ear buds do you have (that shouldn't even make a difference!). I have some somewhat nice sony ones.

Seems like it's only the 32a/HTC Branded devices that are supported. Got that confirmed from HTC Europe after sending them an email.

Interesting.. I guess that would be my Rogers 32a magic.. but I have a hero rom installed.. hmm. I guess I will flash a rogers rom later and see if they work, and if they do, maybe someone can rip them from it or something..

Well to quote the support they said:
"The headset/rc has not been confirmed working for the HTC Magic but it will apparently work on HTC Branded phones and most definitly not on your Vodaphone magic (32b)"
I'll try to see if those drivers do any good or if they're only for winmo phones.
Edit: Regarding the ear buds, I use a pair of WESC Bongo deltas and they work great with the rc when it comes to playing music and using in call.
Ah I see.. "Has not been confirmed".. neat lol.
Well let me know how it goes.
Maybe they will release something for real.. I am seeing a lot of online stores advertising these things to work with the Magic.
Very weird that it's still working for some people though.. sigh. I've barely used it.. lol.
It's a cyanogen rom issue. Installed the latest stock rom and it worked brilliantly.
I am about to try a stock rogers rom.
It was not working on jacheroski or myhero etc etc.. those are all probably similar anyways though.
Edit: still does not work! lol. Which rom did you install and what phone do you have?

Here's a 32a port of the rom I'm using. It's supposed to be the latest stock rom for the magic and all the buttons seemed to work except the mute button, but that doesn't matter.
I have a german Vodafone Magic with the 32b board.

and when installing, it seems like you must wipe all your data or the startup can hang on the splash or say that the android process is not running which leads to you having to force close.
For the remote, i'm on a 32B and works perfectly on the Voda stock rom.
Now I just updated with a Hero Rom (Qtek 1.3b).
I will try if it still works.
Edit: Tested on QtekRom 1.3b . Works for calls / volume . The sound is ok thru headphones

Do you have the correct recovery ?
Try flashing with Cyanogen recovery. Worked for me on my device.
Edit: I got a reply from another forum member saying that this rc should work on Superhero roms. I although havn't tested that.

So i got a diamond for about a month now, and im pretty happy with it except for one problem which absolutly drives me crazy, and pretty much makes it suck as a mobile phone.
Tried searching the forum but can't see anything about this, my only guess is it might have something todo with 3G weak reception.
i still don't know when exactly this happens, under what conditions exactly.
but basically this happens a few times a day.
The problem:
I will get/make a call while having signal.
I click accept
as it is trying to connect the call suddenly all reception is lost and i lose my signal.
basically it fails to connect the call
a second later i will have reception again.
if now i get called again, it will usually give me the same problem.
I have absolutly no idea how to fix this.
tried reflashing the official rom, but it didn't work.
i really hope this is an easy fix, as i really like this phone so far, but seems my wizard worked better as phone.

Well i flashed the official rom from HTC website, i assume it has the newest radio rom.
its got radio version 1.00.25.05.
although i see there is 1.00.25.06, but .05 is recommended in the thread

Hey aRnonymous,
It seems your radio is (1.00.25.05) quite outdated.....try this Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432770
You will find many radios which you can use. Than you can see if your problem will be solved...probably a bad flash from your current radio is causing the problem you prescribed....
Good luck fella en let us know about your progress....
also...look @ my signature...this radio is working great (at least, in my opinion, you have to try many radios)
Regards
Jeroen
I am using drizzys hero rom 1.4r1 and I'm getting the error message "Sorry, Shazam is currently offline" when I try to tag a song. I've tried it on EDGE, GPRS, and 3G and I get the same message each time. Shazam has worked on my phone before but I don't know if I've ever used it on this particular ROM.
meee tooo i have cyanogenmod 4.1.1.1 or watever it is, and it started yesterday as well, anyone know wats going on?
Any updates on this? I'm using it on my G1 with SenseHero, but i've noticed this for a while.
I'm running Cyanogen and it's running just fine, try reinstalling it, I don't know how that would help, but it wouldn't hurt to try
I had that once, it wouldn't work for a day or more. I didn't do anything in particular, it just resolved itself. Reinstalling the app is always worth a try.
I'll try reinstalling it.. thanks guys. I notice both of you are running Cy's ROM. I hope it's not because I'm running a Sense/Hero ROM, which coincides with when I started noticing it wasn't working. I don't foresee going back to a Cupcake/Donut ROM anytime soon.

I figured out what is wrong. If you notice on your Hero ROM sound recording does not work. Well Shazam uses that feature of the phone so if you fix the sound recording issue then Shazam will work. The Hero rom I'm using now (see sig) has the sound recording fixed and shazam works.
You were right! When SenseHero was updated to fix the audio problems, Shazam started working fine...
Thanks!

I think this will sound silly, but it worked on my device. And its not related to Sapphire, I am going to post my finding in this thread since this is the only proper search result when I googled the issue.
I was using MoreLocale in order to have the keyboard in my native language. When I set the language back to English Shazam worked (Don't ask me how I discovered it). I also tried another language i don't remember, that time Shazam said it couldn't send the tag.
This might be irrelevant but, I'm using MCR 3.0 on HTC Hero and I couldn't get Wavesecure to work as well. Following the factory reset, Wavesecure worked too. I highly suspect that that was also due to my locale settings.
Hope this helps.
Has anyone seen this video?

Person claims they somehow flashed Cyanogen's ROM the flashed Hero Over 1.1 and now you have Dream/G1 with working BT. Has anyone confirmed this is possible, or is this just some garbage?
Thanks.
From what I've read of the bluetooth/hero scenario, it doesn't sound plausible.. but I didn't watch the video cos I couldn't tolerate the repulsive music or the inabality to FOCUS HIS F*CKING CAMERA!!
I also don't see how it's possible to flash hero-over directly over CM, unless hero-over doesn't format the system partition as part of the flash process.. but I'd imagine that would cause all sorts of problems... This smells of horse **** to me, but we'll see if he comes out with a workable process.
Over the course of who knows how long the devs have been able to show bluetooth as on, this however doesn't make it useful if you can't have it connect to anything
I thought as much. Thanks for your input.

He just replied to my request for a process..

I went to the site and pointed out the fact that no one in XDA has come up with a working HERO in that sense and this guy must have SERIOUSLY brainwashed a few of these kids. One of them started emailing me hate mail and attacking me on Youtube just for questioning the situation.
There's another guy named ItsAnAndroidWorld who's got a video claiming the same thing only he never goes into the bluetooth and tries to turn it on.
I've been reading about using bttest and hcitools to get it working on a HERO rom but i didn't have much luck with HERO Sense. It must only work on a very specific HERO rom.
Yeah, i'm definitely with you guys because i've googled all over for an answer to the HERO rom problem with BT, and there are some possible solutions, but.....i'm not risking bricking my phone just to see if they're right.
Ok to start off, I love flashing different roms and flash quite often. Not sure when this happened but after flashing one of the many roms, I noticed my radio version changed. Come to find out, I had no reception at all. Like the service was shut off. Tried flashing back to my original radio with no avail. Tried flashing various different roms, same problem. Even tried the latest shipped rom, still nothing. I've contacted T-Mobile, thinking maybe they terminated my service. They say ever thing is fine on there end. Tried searching this and can't come up with any thing. Anyone have any ideas. The rest of the phone works fine. Just no service. Thanks in advance.

Must be a setting change that occurred. First off, did you go through the connection wizard that typically appears in the beginning which set up your services to your cell phone provider?

Sorry for the noob question. My mind didn't even go there. I'm using SPL-1.56.OliNex.
Sorry about this, seems T-Mobile is to blame. After countless hours on the phone with them. They finally figured out that they "accidentally" canceled my service. Thanks everyone for your help. But there was a higher power here to blame...the brilliant minds of T-Mobile.
I got the same problem as you before. All I do is to switch off auto-3G. The problem is on 3G. BUT later I change ROM to Ongkolog Superlite version but still need to switch auto 3G off. Later after sometime I now can use with auto 3G. But times it still got problem with no service (auto 3G) if I move to new location outside from my area.
Good luck

Solution found (idiots T-Mobile), thread closed
I have been using android for a short time(about 3 months). My phone has had stock 1.5 and 1.6 roms. Apart from that that cyanogen's, dwang's, wesgarner's, htcclay....
The issue that is driving me nuts is that my phone gets disconnected from my car's stock handsfree(vw)
I started with cooked roms with cyanogen, almost everything worked correctly Bluetooth was working OK untill a version(about the time ramhacks appeared) broke my bluetooth handsfree, so I switched to dwang. I didn't have any issue with his roms.
After a time I got bored of his roms so I tried almost all roms posted here(except espresso/sense roms, I don't like them). The same issue with all of them. I might get disconnected in 2 minutes, 50 minutes....
I don't have any fact that could probe my findings, I suspect that it has something to do with a kernel change that cyanogen did and everyone took it for their roms because it only happens with the roms that took that kernel lines.
Now, after using super d, wesgarner, cyano, htcclay.... I am back to dwang 1.17.1 i customized it a little bit and I can use the phone again while driving, bonessy's rom also works flawlessly
Roms working correctly(for my hands free):Stock ones, dwangs, older cyanogens, bonessy ion rom.
Working with disconnect issue: Cyanogen, wesgarner, kingxclick, super D, pay's rom and may be some others
Any help is appreciated solving this issue
Ps: Sorry for my poor english

On a 32b board, but do with a 32a board.
I am using 32b htc magic. I solved the issue partially flashing dwang's kernel into Super D 1.9.2, it doesn't get disconnected anymore. The drawback is that wireless is not working, Do I have to flash anything else apart from dwang's boot.img? Any kernel module missing?
Thanks
