Fantastic. Ive converted to corporate mode and my XDAIIs has not been reset once. Ive got a battery monitor on (not as good as o2s but its ok) and all seems ok. Has anyone told o2 that its their software which is at fault??? Ive complained to them to the point that they replaced my XDAIIs foc but if they new the answer they could get to work on fixing it and in the meantime tell customers with the problems how to fix it.
ALSO.....
Ive seen some cool today screens with weather reports on. Im not bothered enough to pay for the software but if there is a freeware free version I would like it. Anyone know of a freebie version with UK weather reporting for today screen??
hey, where did you get your battery monitor from?
Best thing I found was SPB Pocket Plus. Loads of utilities and a good battery meter.
Cheers,
Bret

The weather reports are Journal Bar, I use this on my IPAQ, when I loaded on the the IIs it works but its always downloading updates to the news, weather etc. (gets a tad costly over GPRS) - I couldn't find a setting to stop it doing this so I took it off. Finally I fully agree with you on Corp mode, with the new O2 ROM loaded its not had a reset in a week, and worked perfectly all the time Mike
why not use O2 plus? that doesnt crash BA and is pretty smart... also has battery monitor, sum1 on here has posted, do a search.
Twiglet, the ammount of trouble I experianced with the OS active interface nearly made me give the device back! - sure it works for some but not all, it depends what software you want to run - I never want to see it again!! - but appreciate for some it may well do the bizz - Mike
Hi,
On Universal WM5 AKU 3 versions, and WM6 the little G icon in the upper left corner of signal strength icon is not correctly displayed.
G is displayed instead of 3G when Universal is connected to the internet via 3G.
So my current toy is to fix this
Helmi talked about RSSI_Icons.dll on an other forum. ( Thanks )
RSSI_Icons.dll is responsible for radio signal strength and big data icon displaying.
I have written a new RSSI_Icons.dll.
It's a very first version, so it may contain bugs.
And unfortunately I don't have possibility to test it under different network conditions. It's working in my room(3G), and it's working If I try it on G network. But who knows
So anybody who likes can try it and report any bugs here. Thanks!
Install :
- unzip RSSI_Icons.zip and copy RSSI_Icons.dll to Universal's Windows directory
- soft reset
Uninstall:
- rename RSSI_Icons.dll to RSSI_Icon.dll for example
- soft reset
- After soft reset you will see original RSSI_Icons.dll because it's in ROM
- delete RSSI_Icon.dll
See the attached screenshots with the new RSSI_Icons.dll
First pic:
Universal is esablishing connection to the internet on 3G network.
Animated arrows, and little 3G icon!
Second Pic:
Universal is connected to the internet via 3G.
Notice little 3G icon
Version 2 (RSSI_IconsV2.zip)
---------------------------------
- Fixed small memory leak bug and slightly modified conditions
- Before installing uninstall previous version
I will leave previous version here if somebody have problem with V2.

Have tried it on O2 in London and seems to work fine. Couldn't get a 3G connection at first but I suspect that that was probably down to the weather at the time! Now I have a 3G connection, it seems to swap icons happily when I go from 3G to GPRS. Thanks for curing that annoying niggle!
Ok..work perfectly!
Installed... Nice tweak, congrats!
3g tweak
I niticed that I no longer was able to activate wifi with your dll. The option is not there and wifi would not activate in the com manager.

It's not my dll's fault. Maybe one program that was installed before.
I use wifi every day and I can activate it from the big G/3G icon and from Comm Manager.
And I'm using my own RSSI_Icons.dll of course

big g/u icon
Hi is there a way of converting the large G/U icon to say 3G instead of U??
If you understand me. When connected to umts it says U but the small icons now say 3g. Hmmmmmm confusing.
Not working
Hello all,
Tried this in a i-amte JasJar, with Helmi's WM Aku 3.2, and did not get the little U, altough I was for sure conected in UMTS mode.
In fact, the only diference I could see, is that the normal, big U, dissapeared, and now it shows only big G, no matter wath kind of phone connection I get.
Any ideas?
TIA

I don't have this error because I'm Using Helmi WM6 1.1.
It seems that your OS didn't load my RSSI_Icons.dll at all.
The factory default RSSI_Icons.dll is only responsible for big U, and when you overwrite it with mine and your OS doesn't like it, you will only see big G.
The question is why..
Do you see warning bubbles when you run unsigned exe/dlls ?

Yes, I understand.
It's strange because big 3G icon is included in my RSSI_Icons.dll.
Windows should call the exported LoadOemDataIcon and LoadOemDataIcon should do LoadIcon for big 3G if HKLM\System\OEM_State\RSSI, CSAF value is 16. Can you check this registry value ?
If it's present, then something other is the problem.
Maybe windows doesn't call at all LoadOemDataIcon on your OS.
I don't know
But if you like drawing you can use a resource editor to change small 3Gs to Us. That's my last idea, but it must work
Hi,
I've been using this since it came out, both V1 and V2, however, I've noticed a problem with it, I think.
I don't get the text and mail notification icons in the top bar (possibly voicemail too), and when there are multiple notifications (when you get the speech bubble) then the lower bar is always empty.
I can't say all of these symptoms are due to this DLL, but the text icon definately seems to be.
For info, I'm using Helmi's v1.1 Crossbow.
Cheers,
Steve.

I noticed on mine, I don't have the small bubble notification on top like on AKU 2 ROMs, but it was replaced by a big bubble notification showing how much I was charged with an OK button. A temporary mail icon appeared for 5 seconds followed by a left soft key notification, which I setup from settings. I also have the flashing orange light setup with sounds. So I think we have a lot of options here to remind us that there is a message.
I forgot to mention, I am using PDAViet's ROM.
I'm definately missing some of the icons on the top bar - they have returned now I've uninstalled.
Cheers,
Steve.

Hi there,
as you can see in the screenshot. I am not sure if I am connected with 3G or not. Acctually it looks like I am not. I think the small G should be a smal 3G, correct?
I had this problem with different rom and radio versions since I installed windows mobile 6.
Berfore I had WM5 with no problem.
How can I be sure if it is GPRS or 3G?
Cheers,
Christoph
Yep - you are connected with 3G. The little "G" icon is a little misleading, it just means you are connected - the icon to the left will indicate what sort of connection you have.
Cheers,
Steve.

I find this solution isn't that great to be honest. Although it does work in itself, it tends to break all the other icons that you get on the top bar.

Hi Steve,
I don't have the problem you described. Are you referring to the icon like a mail icon, appearing during an email or text message, as an example? If yes, then it still appears on mine.
I personally think too, that there are too many notifications already showing. For example, I get a text message, I get the email icon on the top bar, I get the bubble stating I have this # of text or email, and another notification on the left soft key. To me, having 3 notifications for one event is not good. First of all, it eats up memory. We all know, memory use is not one of the strong points in the Universal. Second, to negate all those notifications for one event, we choose which one to tap, and that is right, but who needs 3 notifications for one event in reality?
Sorry, for ranting on Microsoft...
Regards,
Although the User Interface is not as good as B&B, But I like to keep it simple.
After hard reset:
Storage Total: 54.09 MB, In use: 6.33MB, Free: 47.76 MB
Program Total: 47.90MB, In use: 23.18 MB, Free: 24.72 MB
Pro:
Faster than WM5, programme switch speed, opening Windows folder is much more quicker than WM5. Battery looks last longer than WM5 (or might have a problem with the battery indication software, consumed 6% on standby over 7 hours.)
Con:
1, still has the Wireless connection problem that will not be able to disconnect WIFI throught Today's screen.
2, very irritating that MSN messenger has to download my MSN email contacts to the phone's contacts.
3, X-Button not available, the HTC X-Button 1.5 not working properly with this ROM, causing system crash.
4, First charge stucked at 88% and orange light, soft reset, back to 100% and green light.
Still testing.......
Edit: Pro: I like the new phone "contact" system. a new number can be added to my existing contact more easily. Also, the contact's total call time and number of calls is very impressive!
Edit: Neutral: MSN issue, updated on page 4.
Edit: Pro: you can add an unknow missed number to your existing contact.
Hmm - my experience on installing the new O2 UK WM6 ROM:
Con:
1) Noticeably slower than WM5 to do almost anything
2) Wasted a whole evening reinstalling and reconfiguring all my applications
3) No useful new functionality
Pro:
Nothing yet.
I installed it yesterday evening, after installing it, it seemed a bit slow. Now i got it all set up it is pretty fast and works allright. Only software I installed extra was spb diary.
Only thing i find annoying is that you can't disable wifi from the icon on the today screen. But there is a shortcut to the com manager on the o2 plug in so it makes up for it.
o2 rom has got some nice tools on the today screen like the profiles, meters, you can see the last call on the today screen also there is a today plug-in that shows the applications that are running, you can also end them from there. So its same as x-button. You can find it under the custom 02 today plug-in setting.
But still waiting to try out B&B4.0 with the touch flow.

any workaround for this ?
Can you tell me does your smart dialling work ? i ask because i have flashed this rom twice now and when i get the dialpad up there are no contacts in the top half, so i can't scroll through my contacts ! And all the smart dialling options are enabled by default.
Thanks....
anothe rthought of O2 WM6
Well, I before I went to bed aroudn midnight (UK time) I thought I check the O2 site and bingo the link is back there. 5 minutes download and 10 minutes later WM6 running on my XDA ORbit.
1- much much snappier. Opening folder, program, setting, contact, emails, explorer etc... has a whole lot new feel to it.
2- GPS works faultless with tomtom.
3- got rid of O2 phone skin and restored the OEM phone skin. Prettier and snappier.
4- I dont want the the x button to close application. I do keep few running such as email, explorer, contacts, and calendar. O2 provides a simple application to view/close running applications. I also, use Explorer 2007 which has the same functionality.
5- cannot close wifi from today screen. Minor inconvenience.
6- Office applications updated.
7- Explorer still works (LOL) and believe I tried Opera and other and I always go back to Explorer. It renders the screen better. Sure no tabs but I dont use them on my mobile, on my desktop yes.
8- Emailer you can now see html - a great boost for me as I need it (you can still block images if you wish) and very useful. Previosuly I use Qmail which I think is the best but lets give the emailer a chance.
9- I heavily use msn and voip and they work faultless (even when conncted to Activesync) I can still sue my wifi for voip.
10- battery comsumption seems to be the same. Battery Was 95% when went to bed (tested email,explorer, windows live etc...), 9:30 am it is still 88%.
11- I like the encryption facilities and finally I can encrypt my files on the storage card natively. Previously I used Cryptainer LE (free).
12- Internet sharing works (just make sure your connection is secure).
13- wireless security are all there as before (wpa-wpa2-wpa2-psk etc..).
thats it really. No major new things, just improvements and the OS definitely faster and less memory hungry.
Still testing it of course ...
Where's the terminal services client? Have they removed it? I've seen a seperate install for it somewehere.
Also, I assume I don't need the storage card fix from HTC for this?
Don't have anything new to add that hasn't been said already.........except that i don't like it. Been using B&B3.7 until last night. O2 WM6 seems like a step backwards from this ROM, not sure why.
terminal services
Terminal services gone and rightly so. What is the use of it on a phone without a keyboard and 320x240 screen (YMMV) ? Now, if I am using the king of phones (XDA Exec )with the best keyboard then I will miss it.
Well I have 2 GB sotrage and I am keeping an eye on it. Lets hope we dont need the fix ;-) (Of course I have backed up everyhting three times just in case.

The WM6 build from O2 contains the Sd card fix so no need to add this to the build. The issue with not being able to turn wifi off from today screen is in all WM6 builds not just Orbit.

Ok im pleased with this new 02 rom now, but i will have to try the new B&B 4.0 when i comes out. can't wait for that.
I have noticed one very small odd thing though, when you go to select a new text message alert, there are 2 x dogbark, 2 x ding and 2 x alouette ?
otherwise fine....

I never setup the GPRS, when it asks on first hardset screen, I always unticked the option. Though, I think you can turn it off by:
O2 Operator Settings--> tick the "i want to do auto configuration now", and scroll the underneath menu down, choose "remove all settings".--> click the top right "OK", done.
and to think that no one has mentioned abotu the new looking solitaire? are your priorities not right??? (just kidding )
Phone working great on WM6 for me - some real response improvments in places. TomTom working good from SD card too - new reinstall required there. Hell - I even like the 02 additional software for a change (like I did with WM5 on the orbit - unlike their today screen stuff on XDA2i....)
So that's at least 1 happy customer...
(and in fairness - their billing dept has been very helpful to me since a billing error - I really can't fault them there)

Press the Call 'End' (Red Color) for 3-5 Seconds and it Disconnects GPRS.
Guys,
For those that you bought the LG-KS20,propably you have noticed that there is a bug concerning voice announcements of Destinator or TOMTOM.
The voice announcements are cut off most of time.
But if you run in the background a windows media file (f.e an mp3 with no sound) you will see that the voice announcements are fully heard.
I was wondering if a kind developers can help us a bit and explain us why this is happening.
Best Regards
At least I made a small script to start the playback, then start TomTom and after closing TomTom stop the playback.
Maybe someone finds it useful.
Regards
Helmut
Thanks for you soft

I'm sorry this has nothing to do with your microphone bug, but since I remember having similar problems with my old SDA smartphone, which were caused by bad hardware design, I would suggest to send your phone to the service center. Maybe some KS20 phones are having similar defects, too. I'm afraid there will be no software solution for this bug.
Regards
Helmut
Thanks a lot , but the problem affects all the ks20 when we're calling outside 3G reception
I'm sure the problem could be solved by the same kind of software ...
I had also this problem occasionally and my favorite PDA reseller / SFR (Vodafone France) representative explained that the same problem occured with Nokia 3G+ phone using SFR networks.
Actually the problem would not lie with LG nor the ROM but with the SFR 3G+ network when the phone is switching between 3G+ and GPRS. The solution - as recommended by Nokia France in an official note further to this problem - is actually simply to block the phone to GPRS (or 3G+ if always available) network (instead of letting it switch automatically) until SFR fixed their network problem. Of course, if blocked to GPRS, you will need to change this everytime you want to use 3G+.

Maybe it cannot set the Audio buffer size properly... this bug involves not only Tomtom or Destinator but many other GPS navigation software too!!! This phone is FULL of BUGS!!!!! I've also try Miopap (iGo) software but it can't run in fullscreen mode because of top menu bar that cannot be hidden; then...this phone can't run any software using directDraw, so there's no 3D acceleration, no PointUI interface, no games, no iGo8...; I cannot use Skype and this due to the Qualcomm processor architecture...
hope a new rom is coming...now this phone (as is) sucks...

Thank you paxman, I've already seen it, but they're only SFR or German...I'm waiting for an English one at least(10e or better 10f)...so the only thing I can do now is playing (crying ) with my 10c italian ROM...
Here is the dutch version of the *Fix* for the LG KS20.
I also changed the dummy.asx a little. Instead of calling dummy.mp3 times 40. I've now made that script to call dummy.mp3 one time and then it will call dummy.asx again.
This means the loop is continuous instead of having it end after 40 times (20 hrs).
Hope it's useful.
I want to thank lindih for the original fix.
This is a cool looking phone.

Hi I have downloaded the file and see the folders and files inside can you please confirm the steps required to install.
I assumed copying the files into the relevent folders on the device is this correct?. and where do i put the "MortScript-4.1-PPC.cab" file and what do i do with it? do i just install it?
