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.

oops silly me, forget my smart dialling problem, there is'nt one, just me being dumb. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon11.gif
Red face
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....
Updated no problem, got the wifi problem from the today screen, also my bluetooth isnt working, anyone else got this problem?

Yes I am afraid it is not possible to disablethe wifi from the today screen, you will have to use the comm manager.
What problems u have with bluetooth?
I have beentesting it, like sending files, images, headsets and no rpoblems at all.

Just one thing, you probably know that, receiving files via bluetooth is disabled by default. You will have to enable it via the registry.

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.
Just wondering if any others are using this neat little app and what your experiences are with it?
I tested it on a roadtrip by leaving my trinity in my friends car with the screen off. Every few minutes I would send an sms to my trinity and it would reply with my friends coordinates. I would then input his coordinates into my PNA to see where he was. Worked great. I was most impressed by the battery life remaining on my phone when I got it back...after 18 hours and 120 or so text messages I still had 80% battery remaining.
Anyone else use it? What are your thoughts?
Top Class App
Hi, this is a pretty smart bit of "FREE" kit. I use for cycling / walking if every i get knocked off or lost Help knows where I am instantly!
***** star all round
Do you need to activate the built-in GPS through it, or would VitoFindMe start it by itself?
I'm asking because this could be a nice way to keep an eye on the kids, or if my trinity gets stolen.
Thanks for the tip anyway.

It runs on the today screen and always runs as long as it's on the today screen. You can also specify gps settings manually or have it detect. The only catch is you have to activate the product or you will have to soft reset after sending coordinates 3 times. Activation is free btw.

You only need to configure the keyword, when you send an sms with that keyword vito will reply with the current location as soon as it gets a gps fix:
" Go to http://maps.google.com and input "38.7093 -9.14376" into search box "
You may want to disable the sent message notification, and hide the vito plugin on a pocket breeze tab so that it isn't clearly visible that the device is running it, otherwise whoever finds the device will immediately read the scrolling message on the today screen: "Attention, VITO FindMe is installed! This phone can be located via SMS"
Thank you for your imputs. Can't the scrolling message just be hidden at the Today Screen by unselecting "Find Me" at the Today Items settings (settings>today>items), like I did, or if it gets hidden it won't work?

does anyone else get positioning errors with FindMe? Othe rapps are spot on but FindMe is often 50 - 100m out
Locate SMS
Here is the link for Eten "LocateSMS"
Maybe you can try this www.mtsfriends.ro
Isn't Eten "LocateSMS" just to send your position where FindMe automatically responds with your position when it receives an SMS from someone with the correct code in the body of the message?
I have recently purchased ACER DX900. As it supports 2 sims together, the default dialer has 2 call buttons : 'talk1' and 'talk2' enabling user to decide from which sim to make the call. As usual the default dialer is with small buttons. Is there any custom dialer available that supports 2 sims talk buttons or can any kind developer make a new one please.
Thanks in advance
having the same problem
Hi all,
I have the same problem with my Acer DX900. It would be nice to have a small tool running in the background that asks you what SIM to use after you pressed the "call-button".
For example, if you call a contact within SPB Mobile Shell, there is no way to select SIM1 or SIM2.
It would be great if someone has a clever solution.
Thank you in advance.

I'm actually going to have a dual sim for the first time in the end of this month. If its registry-based (and will probably be) I'll do a Flash app or a WM6.5 plugin to toogle cards.

as of now, there is no wm6.5 rom for dx900. hopefully you can make one
as for the dialer i am not sure if it's registry based, but the sms sending definitely is. i've already mase a simple switcher for it.
oh i didnt knew it could be so compartmentalized, i thought that one HAD to be inactive so that the other could run....

Dear tWolf
how 's the progress? Did you get Dx900?
Sorry, I completly forgot about this... I wanted to use my ISP offer to have a 3G connection with free slow internet, but I ended up changing to another operator where I have free limited internet.

I want a big dialer too can anyone make this happen please ?
Any solution?
standard telephone dialer and dual SIM dialer
Can you please tell me where to find information about Android standard telephone dialer? Where is this software and function? I assume this is part of the telephone manager?
Can you please tell me the technique and software to make dual SIM work? Where can I find info?
Thank you.
Hey sup guys, so I'm new to the HTC Tilt 2, I was a previous owner of the LG Incite, which disappointed me because of the unresponsive touchscreen and difficulty of text messaging. I just had a few questions regarding this new phone.
Is their any way to stop data charges? Like from accidentally accessing the internet or "media net"? I know with the LG Incite there was to disable the data by entering a series of numbers into the keypad and it brought you to another screen which gave you the option to disable certain things. Also I know with the incite you were able to create a fake connection so that every time the phone tried to connect with the internet, it would connect to the fake connection first and tell you that there was no connection available.
Also is their a way to disable aGPS? I know on the incite there was a way to disable it do that you wouldn't get charged 7 cents everytime you used Garmin Mobile XT GPS.

Not sure on this.
Is their a cracked version of Garmin Mobile XT GPS for the Tilt 2??
yes but don't ask here.

NoData is what you are looking for.
Is the Nodata cab for turning the aGPS off or to turn the unwanted data from the internet off?
NoData is for data usage, kills it. I forgot about it.
Hello,
as far as my research concluded the Note 10 doesn't support assigning contacts to a specific sim card.
While this isn't normally a problem since you can chose the setting to ask for each call, it is a problem when driving.
When starting the call from the car, it doesn't ask which sim card to use and therefore doesn't start the call at all.
Are there good alternative phone or contact apps which allow me to assign a specific sim to a contact?
Both the default app and the google phone app (currently my primary app) don't seem to support it.
Are there any good alternatives?
Thanks for any advice.

Try True Phone. Should be possible. This app has much more than just that.
Good question! I use all the time the dual sim function and it's such a non-sense having ro select all the time the SIM number I've got to use every single time... On my OnePllus 7T this used to be so simple....
Have been testing True Phone for about a month now and have been very happy with it so far.
Fixes my problem and allows a deep customization. Can absolutely recommend it.
I had a headache at work because of this. after all, a lot of necessary numbers were missing. I even lost my best friend's number, and besides, he moved to another city. But thank God I found a reference book, and it became easy to find a friend in France. I could not solve the problem with the phone. I had to buy a new one, I switched to an iPhone and am very pleased. And I advise you to go to the service or buy a new one.
