Can you get rid of O2 ACTIVE ????????????
I never use it
if u do hard reset and select corporate user and enter 0506 as pin. or if u dont want to do hard reset, there is a way to delete something from the windows folder but i cant 100% remember what it was, i think its connections.exe or something, this removes the o2 logo at top of screen and stops o2 active on startup.
if i remember correctly its in the startup folder within windows in file explorer.
i did it but cant remember how. lol
didn't think i would be back to this again. looks like i hace lost all my info
Well, I figure there should be a link or exe in the \Windows\Start Up folder for it. Remove it and it won't run.
I'm not 100% sure about this one though.
Yeah, LastOne, youre right. Remove the shortcut from windows\start up - active UI wont start any more on start up.
Bizarrely its called 'connections'!
I followed instructions here:

My XDAIIs was locking up several times per day, but since getting rid of O2 active its only locked once in over a month. O2 should be ashamed of themselves for putting this rubbish on their machines.
removing this does work and is the way i did it...... i had far too much info on my pda to do a hard reset and loose, but the best way really is to get rid of the software alltogether with a hard rest after a full backup... :wink:

HELP!
My xda2 decided to crash (1st time in a year mind!) and i am currently reinstating it to its pre-crash look etc.
I remember when I first got it, i went to explorer/windows and found the o2 active GUI files and binned them, but this time its casuing me hassle and the damed thing wont dissapear. I hard resetted again a few times, no luck with this so I tried add/remove progs. via activesync, but then I lost half my screen......any ideas, I HATE THIS o2 SCREEN!!!
If i remember correctly i removed the o2ActiveUIEngl.CAB file from the extended rom. Then after hard reset its not there to install. You will have to use the extended rom unlocking tool to access it.
I can not check because i have put WM2003SE on the XDAII now.
If you do not want to remove the cab look in your windows/startup dir for a file called connections (i think thats it) this is what displays the O2 graphic at the top.
Then if you click start>settings and then the today icon then the items tab you can remove the active ui link. Soft reboot and you should be about there.
This is all from memory so details may be slightly different but you should be able to get there.
My extended rom is blank at the mo, but I always just used to uninstall o2 active from the "remove programs" tab. It'd come back after a hard reset , but at least then you wouldn't have to manually enter your GPRS settings.
You can cancel the installation while the device is setting up, i have to do that as i've got an o2 branded xda but with an orange sim.
A friend has WM2003 but it ha too many issues for me to risk upgrading yet
If i delete this software from the add/remove programs will it clear the O2 software off and just leave me with the windows interface?
Secondly is it wise and can I get the software back if need be? Will I still have the phone software if I delete the O2 stuff?
The best way to do it is to do a hard reset and install the corporate version , which doesnt install the silly O2 stuff.
To do that poke the reset hole with the stylus and press the Power button at the same time (WARNING you will loose all programs/settings)
Then when it is installing it will ask either personal use or corporate ... Choose "Corporate User" when asked for the password put "0506" as the password.
backup your phone with Activesync first incase you want to return to the way it was before.
just as you get one thing working correctly...something else f***s up!!
just went to check some mails and now my GPRS settings don't work.
I've not changed anything, or messed with connections...it's just stopped working.
followed the instructions on the t-mobile website...but still no GPRS connection. Just nothing happens..doesn't even try to conect and tell that I have a username or password incorrect..just does nothing but tell me that the current connection cannot be used for your request.
wtf??
Can anyone let me know where I can find step by step instructions to get this set up?
many thanks
even worse...if I try to access anything while connected by wifi....the same message!!
the current connection cannot be used for your request!!...
URGENT HELP PLEASE
Just about had enough and thought about a hard rset....better back yo first though right?....and now active snyc wont recognise my device....could it get any worse???
Hmm is this a HTC Artemis or T-Mobile MDA Compact III? if its the later the hardware is not fitted for WiFi so that option won't work.
When my device is playing up in this way (which it does at least once a week) I simply soft reste the device by poking the stylus in the reset hole. Being a soft reset it doesn't wipe any data or settings - I wold start with a soft reset and see what happens next - Mike
You could try deleting your connections and the installing a tmob connection cab which shoudn't be too hard to find on this site.
This is one particular bug I,ve not yet had the pleasure of, but I can appreciate what a pain it is.
Do you have a backup that works?
well...I'm having a nightmare!!!!!!!
hard reset the phone (nothing seemed to be going my way)
someone on here told me that I could save a copy of pim.vol and then replace this back onto my machine and I would have all my contacts back....sadly not..if you try to copy this file back you just get a sharing violation!! I'll be making a comment about this in the post where it was suggested!!
so, might have to spnd the next few hours adding my contacts back in.
NEXT....to try to fix the sync problem I upgraded to 4.5 (as suggested by the MS website) ....that screwed my PC up well and proper!!...everytime I tried to connect my PC usage went to 100% and nothing worked!!
so had to search for my original CD and go back to 4.2 which seems to be ok now.
I do have a back up that I made a few days ago...just a little concerned that it will put back all the issues I had in the first place, as I'm not sure when I lost my connection stuff.
what a complete nightmare tody!!
try to restore, at least you will get you contacts back which I am sure though I can't point you at it, there are other ways of backing up.
Just finished restoring my backup from a few days ago.
Got my contacts back which was one of the main things.
then had to set up a new connection with active sync (now called PC2, how do I delete PC1???)
anyway..everything is back to normal..including my GPRS and wifi working...
happy man now...
Cool.
Just open AS on your PC, click file and you will see an option to delete a partnership.
I have hit the reboot on the back of my dell x50v and for the last couple times it says that "tbstart.exe failed to start, may need to reinstall".
I have no idea what this is and tried a search and found nothing on the internet.
Anyone have any idea what this is? I also posted another problem about my device now not recognizing my home network and says the ssid is hidden, are these two items related? I have wm5 ao2.
Any ideas?
I'd say that if everything is working the way it should on your phone, then go to the windows startup folder and remove the link to it. Don't delet it just yet, cut it and paste it somewhere that you'll remember where it is, like the My Documents folder, just in case you find out that you did need it for some program. More than likely, the reason it failed to start is because you removed the program and it forgot to delete the startup link. Don't worry that removing the link will cause your phone not to boot or something like that either because your phone is already rebooting without the program anyway.
Hi to all! I installed a new cooked great rom to my trinity a month ago and it worked fine. it is this rom
[ROM][ITA]WM 6.1 Elegance edition 2.14 (OS 5.2.19213 Build 19213.1.0.0)[ONLINE]
today I got a strange error and the phone was stuck. I unplugged the battery and when I started again it was stuck on the calibration screen. if I tap on the screen nothing happens but the backlight turns on if it was off so it still catches the taps. I connected the phone via usb to delete from the autostart menu the link to the configuration screen (welcome.exe) but the phone is not deteced by activesync so no way to browse folders on my device or use a program like SOTI to control the ppc. I want to bring it back to life as I know that my files hasn't been deleted. in fact if I press the right soft button I get a menu of a program I put in the ppc and it's not included in the elegance rom so I'm sure my files and my configuration and everything are still there.
if i get a phone call the phone rings (with the default ringtone anyway, but the name of the caller is displayed correctly, that's why I'm sure my device still has all my contacts and more)
what could I do?
is there a way to edit files from bootloader? does mtty work for this? (I have no idea how to use mtty so I might be wrong) could I make a full dump, edit the startup folder and reflash the phone with all my data?
I tried to use mortscript witht the autorun feature to read a part of the register regarding the welcome file and deleting it's link in the startup folder but the sd card driver is not loaded I think as the files are not launched, while in another phone the same script works fine.
thanks in advance to all who will have time and will to help me

as far as i know (not that much), reading files from bootloader is pretty impossible.
You can always just reflash. If the touchscreen problem persists, it's possible that the problem is hardware related.
Your computer should detect your device when in bootloader, and failing that, you should be able to SD flash (assuming you're HardSPL'd or equivalent, thats just what we have in the herald forum)
Thanks for your help
I'm quite sure the hardware is fine as all my problems started after a crash of the OS.
Anyone has an idea to get access to my ppc?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if the sdcarddriver is not loaded then the following will not work but give it a try anyways. make a text file "whatever.txt" no quotes then rename it to "welcome.not" no quotes then put it in the root of your storage card and it should skip the whole startup process. that is if it loads the sd card driver or you might want to think about flashing another rom
I already tried the "welcome.not" trick but got no results. I'm afraid that the sd card driver is not loaded then.
Thanks for the hint irus anyway!
Really there's no way to read files from bootloader or something similar?
not that i know of
but the fact that your issue was noticed during a rom flash
dont mean it's not hardware related
much like a heart attack which happens during a thunderstorm
dont need be related to the thunderstorm
Wait! The error never happened during a flash. I never said it. I had that rom on my trinity since a month and it worked like a charm. Then suddenly I got an error and the phone was stuck.
I have understood what you mean but at least I hope it's not a hardware failure!
