Hello,
I have tried several things to come to enjoyable gaming of arcade or slightly action like titles on a XDA Orbit but none of them seemed to work (will post in the other forum for details). Now I stumbled across a bluetooth gamepad which might be a solution:
german link but pictures should give an impression
Since the Orbit is not listed in the official compatibility list I wanted to ask if anyone tried this device?

Hi I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I have an XDA II with Rom Version 1.66.00WWE. I would like to have the same screen functionallity as the XDA11S (Landscape and Portrait).
I spoke with the 02's help desk and they said "off" the record that I may find help somewhere here. Does any one have the information that i am after.[/b]
Landscape
Hi. It can be done. As far as I know you have 2 choices:
1) There is a piece of software developed by members of this forum. Try a search using the keywords SRS and Landscape. Read through the thread carefully because lots of versions were developed. I found one which worked really well for me ... but sorry I can't remember which one.
Advantage: Works. Quick & simple upgrade. Can easily be uninstalled.
Disadvantage: A number of your applications will not display correctly in landscape, notably the phone dialler (though you can still use it in portrait).
2) Upgrade to WM2003SE (second edition). A number of upgrades have been developed by members of this forum. I am currently using ROM version 2.06.00WWE with the UK extended ROM optimised for O2 users (put together by Finalzero). So far so good with this one for me. Your choice of ROM should be based on your locality and possibly your network. Again, do a serach - but make sure it is for the xdaII/Himalaya and not one of the newer versions.
Advantages: Works well and with more (but not all! - especially ones you add yourself) applications.
Disadvantages: Involves a ROM upgrade (I've been lucky so far but there are some horror stories around). Will invalidate your warranty. The 2.06.00 ROM is not official and not supported so you are moving into the unknown (though my experience has been good so far).

i'm tempted to get one of these, for those times when a thumb-board is too slow and i need to do a lot of typing.
does anyone have any experience of using one of these with a Universal? i know there were some issues with thinkoutside's bluetooth mouse working with Exec's, so i want to check first before i get it
PS - it looks so cool!

Just seems so, superfluous with an Exec. I can get pretty good speeds with four finger typing on the exec already.

really? i mean - compared with a laptop-keyboard-sized keyboard?
i tried writing a word doc on the train a few weeks ago, and it was tiring - nothing like it would've been on a laptop. or - i hope - on one of these

I'm using the ThinkOutside bt travel mouse with my QTEK9000. Pretty satisfied so far with the older mouse driver.
Have you tried the latest mouse driver version uploaded in the 'Universal' section under my name?
I bought the keyboard when I had the XDA II. I will try it tonight and let you know.
I have the TO Keyboard, works great and pairs pretty quickly with my JasJar. Make sre you follow the TO directions in installing drivers, setting up, and pairing the keyboard, otherwise you might have a bit of trouble.
I really use it a ton when taking notes during a class or at work, it's nearly as good as a real keyboard and beats thumb typing easily.
ya i had the keyboard with the mda II and i am using it for the exec now,
it works flawlessly, and i didn't even need to install the drivers, although if you want the shortcuts, like internet explorer, mail, ect... then i sugest installing the drivers, but to answer your question it works great!
Hello all,
Whilst I know a fair bit about computers I've become lose in all the talk about what goes on what. I've kind of picked up that "cooking" your rom is abit like upgrading your bios?
Anywhooo just ordered my xda orbit and I cant really work out what should go on there when i get it. I have seen a touch flo mod - HTC touch style interface, can anyone point me in the correct direction?
obviously wm6 comes from the o2 website, I was considering getting one of those HTC remotes - would you recommend this? If so I read somewhere that another mod is neeeded to make the buttons work with the orbit?! I've tried searching but I tend to end up in heated discussions with part developed apps.
What else would you recommend? I've noted the GPS tracking software...
Has there been a new tomtom released for wm6?
Thank you in advance,
JC
Hi All,
I have a Vodafone TP2. I was wondering what the best approach would be to get Sat Nav working on my TP2?
I am starting afresh here.. so no views on software etc although my VF may have a freebie ??? I will have to check..
Thanks in advance,
Sam
I strongly suggest you start by using the forum ... I know it's been said before, and will be again, but honestly, just spend a bit of time looking at the threads already started - or use search for some GPS software brands.
I'll give you a heads up on two things I think are important:
1. There is currently no official way to get TomTom working on it as the TP2 is not supported by them yet. Of course many people do have TT working on their devices so it is obviously possible, if you know what I mean
2. Beware of the free Co-pilot demo - reading the various threads covering GPS systems on the TP2 shows that it's a bit of an A**E to remove (the latest update may not be removable at all from what I read today).
Good luck searching!
Hi @ll,
I got my dash working great with the 3vo rom!!
But now I need some soft in order to get it fully useful, i don't know if this is the right place ...
Please note that I've found a lot of software but them only work on wm5-wm6, I haven't found soft for wm 6.5 this is why i'm asking ...
the soft I need is:
- Unit converter
-periodic table
-scientific calculator
yes, i'm a freaky scientist
-english -spanish translator (portugues-spanshi will be useful too!)
-timer and stop watch
-full resolution youtube video player
I tink thats all!
thanks to all!
I like this one ....
I use this, though I might be slightly biased.
It does scientific calculations, and unit conversion.

All wm6 software will work on wm6.5 it's not specific.
There is a thread in the sticky for software to which will cover some bases and many software search able via google.
If you do wish to request software after reading the thread use the thread noted.
On that note thread closed.
