Hello,
I upgraded the ROM this morning to 1.72.00WWE and also installed the Application Suite (I like voice-dialling).
However since doing this I can no longer call up the drop-down menu from the O2 Icon at the centre top of the screen.
- how can I now move that O2 logo on top of the Windows logo?
- how can I disconnect from GPRS services after connecting? The only way I knew how was to untick the GPRS (or WAP, or whatever) and untick the ticked.
Thanks in advance.
holding down the hangup button for a bit should disable gprs
or use this http://www.gb-soft.cz/XDAII/products.htm tool
i know nothing about o2 or special o2 software
but i doubt o2 software will run unless the rom is a pure o2 rom
and not some tmobile, imate, qtek or... rom put on an o2 device

Spot on! Good find, thanks for that tip.
Re. the software, it's all "O2 Legit". I'll keep looking for that icon move.

Hi guys,
Recently installed the latest ROM offered by O2 onto my XDA2s, having firstly been incredibly frustrated that I'd lost all my txt messages and installed applications, I have since found that the phone locks up almost daily now - it particularly seems to be whenever switching the phone on/off with the topright power button - at which stage it'll just freeze.
Sometimes when making a call, I'll dial the number, and when ringing starts, switch the phone display off so as to save batteries, when doing the same since the ROM update, the phone seems to hang.
VERY frustrated, anyone any ideas, or experiencing the same?
Another question, with Bluetooth Audio, is there any way to stream a telephone call through my PC via a bluetooth link allowing me to chat/hear through the PC instead of the phone?
And finally, does anyone else find the Network Connections settings on the PocketPC OS incredibly stupid, confusing and impossible to accurately setup for Internet access through Wireless/Bluetooth??
Cheers, Ash

follow the above thread. I found by doing what it said about removing o2 active stuff I havent had to soft reset since..
I would also add that I have also upgraded to radio rom 1.12.00 and Blue tooth 3900 (shortly after so not certain it was due just to that but likely)
If I can be any help at all PM me and I will try and assist maybe talk on instant messenger..
But I must repeat it hasnt locked since the above and the battery life seems much much greater.... for instance I left it on from 6pm last night until 7am this morning and it appeared to loose only 10% battery including making a couple of calls..
I would do it again with and uk xda2s
Hope that helps
as for the rest of your questions no idea LOL
Stay happy
Thanks for your reply, I did install the upgrade in Corporate mode having read that thread first, but its still installed all the O2 Active stuff - so should I now remove the bits from my Startup folder that relate to O2?
Also, I now cannot find any easy way to disconnect GPRS once its connected????
yep
I would get rid of the active bits as said.. to disconnect gprs simply press and hold the red hang up button
I will look again at your posts and answer anything else I can.. dont know if you have noticed but this site is slow so sorry for the delay in replying
have you upgraded the radio rom and BT version?????
stay happy
did you enter a corporate code when setting up in corporate mode?
0506 i belive
stay happy
Ahhhhh, I thought Corporate Code was for the screen password lock or something, so I just entered my usual code - should I rewrite the rom upgrade again, or can I run the setup program separately on the XDA to enter the 0506 code??
I'm currently running...
Rom V: 1.31.00 WWE
Rom Date: 12/13/04
Radio V: 1.06.00
Protocol: 1337.38
ExtRomV: 1.31.139 WWE
Is that the latest? got from the official O2 website.
Thanks also for the GPRS disconnect, that helps, shame it doesn't tell you, hehe!
you should just be able to do a hard reset and put it into corporate mode. do a backup first though..
The versions you are running are the latest from O2 I think.... however you can find the ones I am using on this forum... I have found them much better and if you are going to do a hard reset you might want to do them first....
anything else just shout..
stay happy
Yeah but if you back up then you are backing up the O2 active stuff as well. When you do a hard reset and choose corporate ok. But when you use backup restore the O2 active gets restored. I use Sprite as backup and i can't see offhand how to backup everything EXCEPT the O2 active stuff so that it won't reinstall on a restore. I've manually put back all my progs etc and then backed up so O2 Active won't come back.
I have to say that the latest O2 Rom update using the personal rather than corporate mode is a disaster. My phone was locking up every day. I was getting really p***** off with it. Now I have got shot of the O2 active stuff everything works fine.
Hi
Here are the instructions I got form Brian at O2 data Support. Back up to PC rather than storage card and restore from there. Here goes:
Workaround - setup a 'Corporate' install that doesn't include the Active
User Interface
Before starting insure important data is saved by syncing to Outlook on your
PC if needed (do not use backup/restore)
* Hard reset.
* Near the end of the custom applications auto-install you will be
given a choice of "Corporate" or "Personal". You should choose "Corporate".
Note: you will only have approx 5 seconds to choose this option, after which
the 'Personal' option will be automatically selected
* You will be asked for a pin. Enter 0506 (that's zero five zero
six) and tap Finish
* You will see the message "Welcome corporate user, O2 Active won't
be installed". Your device is now ready and you will have everything except
the Active User Interface.
Important: the mobile web, WAP and mms settings WILL still be preset.
Hope this helps
Regards
Chris
This is an awful little thing. Is there a way of removing it without having to prevent all O2 extended ROM stuff from installing? Or is it an all or none thing?
Couldn't find it in the forums.
Joe
go to foder start up in windows and delete the file name: conecntionink (not sure but the icon is green palm). Soft reset and you wont see the o2 icon next to the start icon anymore,if you want to remove the O2 active, you must go to foder Font in window, change the name of the file in Font foder and go to setting to remove O2 active => soft reset and that 's it.
Be careful. I recently removed that horrible 02 icon, and the next time I took the battery out my phone hard-reset itself causing me to loose a load of recent photos. I don't know if these event were linked, but my phone never did that before. Just a warning xx
you can set the xda2S into corporate mode but this means doing a hard reset. when installing it will give you an option of a personal installation or a corporate. for the corporate mode you will have to enter this code 0506 by doing this it completely removes all of that o2 active crap. however it will still setup your gprs which is a bonus.
there is another way to do this so you don't have to do a hard reset but i think this is the easiest just remember to back up your files.
Maybe something like this should be made into a sticky ???????
and as using the o2 icon is a way of switching off GPRS, then once its gone, you cannot disconnect with that, you can on the other hand, press and hold the red hang up button on your blueangel 8)
Thanks for the replies, and I will do what you all say and see what's best.
If I go the corporate 0506 route, I guess it tells it to install all the non-O2 stuff and leaves out the O2 icon, and the O2 today screen stuff. Is this correct?
Also, if anyone has any ideas about my audio niggle, then please have a read and reply to my other thread from 13/6/5.
This forum is great and I will soon start playing with ROMs and get with the cookery.
Joe
yep with the corporate way you will just get the standard windows 2003.

OH GOD! Thankyou! That's the first time I have ever been told that! Every time I have asked, I've just been told to turn on flight mode temporarily.

Hello,
I'm using schap's WM6 ROM 3.30a
I was wondering if someone knows an app to initiate a 3G/GPRS/EDGE connection.
I use radio streaming programs that don't initiate the connection by themselves. So I would love that kind of button to connect/disconnect easily from my 3G ISP.
If you think it's possible...
Thanks !

Schap's CommManager has a button to do this
I've downloaded schap's comm manager ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310650 ), but I don't see any button to do that. There is a button to switch between 2G and 3G. But I dont' see a button to start or stop the connection.
Thanks
How about BandSwitch...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299070
As I understand you want a way to disconnect a 3G connection... right?
If so, you want something like the HTCustom Tweak Application... it allows you to display the GPRS/3G Disconnect and Timer option!

It's the 4th button down on the right - looks like a computer with a globe behind it - press that and then 'connect' on the left softkey (under network connection it should show your default 3G connection)

To stop the connection, I know there is a tweak.

The left and right softkeys are the buttons on the bottom of the screen which also have hardware buttons below them
does the button I mentioned in the comm manager not work for you?
sorry I found it out.
But I would prefer something faster, with one click only
First off this has nothing to do with WM6... second all of the tweak apps have a setting for connection always on! and the option to show a dissconnect button on the top! third in most commangers there is a data connection button that you simply tap and turn the data on and off... searching the forum would have been a much easier way to find your answer it seems that people love to be spoon feed around here and are not willing to go through the trial and error that real devs do to get what they want. until senior member stop feeding into this the problem will never stop. I know everyone wants to be a nice guy but damn if we don't stop this no we might as well change the name to HoFo2...

My first thought would be to look at a program called 'mortscript' in which you can create scripts and attach them to shortcuts or hardware buttons. You can do just about anything with these scripts so is probably your best bet for a 1-click option
Be happy with what is out there. If you feel you want something faster and one click, you might be better off writting your own apps to fit your needs.

Thank you all
Sorry for Hijacking this thread.
After I got the WM6 image on my device I lack the button / link for initiating the 3G/UMTS-Connection (before I was able to click on the "U" (="3G") logo in the menubar, and the Connectivity-Bubble gave me the option to initiate the data-connection. With the new image it only shows me a text that "there are no data-connections active. If necessary applications will initiate a connection. Go into "Settings" to change your connection settings." (Freely translated from the german version)
Anybody know how I can get them back? I'm aware of the reg-hack to get the disconnect-button in HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2, what are the settings of Flag2 and Flag of people who are able to initiate the connection from the menu bar?
TIA, Ulf
PhoneAlarm can include a button to initiate or stop a data connection (as well as BT or WiFi buttons), with one click. It's also an awesome program for other reasons if you haven't used it yet.
Hi!
I live in Europe and flashed the Dopod rom..
The thing is, ever since the upgrade when I connect to (mobile) internet, it doesn't show the UMTS sign, but the Edge/3g sign. Internet is a lot slower than before as well.
Does this have anything to do with the fact I get an error when I boot saying it's for Asia only, or do I need to do something to connect to the UMTS network?
Hi all,
just to complie some information, as my crackberry doesn't connect to the network anymore, and that for 2 weeks.
Tried Black Shadow, Sleuth Crackberry version for OS Roms
Am on 1.40 Radio Rom
And I modified the registry to make the TyTN look like an SPV M3100
I tried BBC 3 and BBC 4
All parameters on www.blackberry.orange.fr are correct, same ID and IMEI.
So does that happen only to me or are other Orange FR users here that can't use this service anymore ?
Called also Orange, they made a test and their answer was simple "This is not Orange phone, this is not Orange program" so i.e. go **** yourself, we don't support it BUT they are selling the option for it !
If anyone has some parameters they know about so I can get back the crackberry...
Weird thing I discovered.
After an OS install, as long as I don't shut the phone down, it works...

from Memory BBC 4.0 uses GetDeviceID from the kernel so Registry changes to discuise your device as an "Orange" one wont work...
Hey, I realize I am probably going to just get pointed to another thread thats had this problem but oh well...
I just bought myself a T-Mobile Vario II.
First thing I did was get pof's unlocker, used it to sim unlock and cid unlock. I know use it in o2.
I decided to download htc's wm6 upgrade (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320829) and when I try to install it Active sync disappears and the phone just goes into some sort of standby. Just tapping the power key puts it back on.
The back light is disabled and turn screen off is as well. Also, this is an XP machine. Not ****ing god awful vista.
So I tried using Hard-SPL v7 and it installed fine. But when I connect the PDA via usb, and open the wm6 rom file the pda loads a 3 colored screen with some text and sits and does **** all, Active sync disappears again before the installer gets to the 'click next button' screen. If reset the PDA and reconnect it via usb, open active sync then click next, it does that ****ing turn screen off, turn off Active sync again!
So what the hell do I have to do to get this upgrade to work? Cos this t-mobile o/s is a little sluggish for my liking and ive heard that wm6 is faster.
Cheers for any replies!
