Latest Update from o2 UK

Latest update from o2......i emailed yesterday:
"Apologies for asking a question that you are no doubt sick of answering, but are you able to give an estimated release date of the WM6 rom update package for the XDA orbit?
As well as having one personally – I am currently organising a large number of the units within the company and would prefer to update the software prior to doing so.
Any guide at all would be very welcome, and again apologies for asking."
And the reponse today?
"Good Afternoon
Thank you for your e-mail.
There will be a ROM upgrade available very shortly, which will provide WM 6 functionality.
Unfortunately we have no exact timescale, but we would advise to keep checking our Xda web site www.my-xda.com as from the start of next week.
Sorry we cannot be more precise with our answer, but if you have any further enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards
Paul
Customer Technical Support"
Sounds hopeful?

No was just talking about any o2 Rom image that I have had on various phones. Uninstall the crud then its not there, unless you do a hard reset and load it all again.

Presumably if you remove the custom set-up, you have to configure all the GPRS and MMS settings ?
If you have already run the custom set up and then remove it, would those settings remain ?

1) No it doesnt remove the settings and
2) correct, they stay.
Well for me they did anyway.
But there is a program "O2 Operator settings" on my Orbit, that can not be deleted by uninstalling it through remove programs as its not listed.
It sets up the settings on a hard reset and can be run again incase of emergencies.
Not looked at unlocking the extended rom but I dare say it is in there and could be extracted and kept.

there is a file that will do your settings for you.

I've not managed to find that o2 file that does it all for you - maybe my search skills are weak !!!!!!!!
Anyone give mt a clue please ??

Should work, let me know if it does or not, if it does I will upload it to the ftp server.

Was in an 02 store today, my orbit wifi wasn't working for the 3rd time. told them i was fed up with it. then told the assistant that on the forums it says that wm6 improves wifi reliability and when this was going to come out. he said he didnt know when it was out. he then rang 02 customer services and asked they said they didnt know. i then told him i am cancelling my contract as they were breaching the terms. he then rang another number and after about 5-10 mins, comes back, and says it is due to be released on the 24th of july or sooner. i then left with a brand new perfectly working orbit.
so wait it out!!!

just emailed again
..asked them if they could give any more clues....i'll post the reply when it arrives.
However, do we really need the official o2 rom when B&B 3.7 offers so much more.
I'm gonna give it a try - but i'm guessing it will miss the boat
Add touchflo to 3.7 and I probably won't even bother TRYING the o2 rom!!!

O2 website no different today than yesterday. Still no upgrade link...................yet. Maybe that will change as the day goes on, we'll see.

Just spoke to O2 UK Business Marketing
O2 UK business marketing said they will have an information update late next week in ref to WM6 upgrade for the O2 XDA Orbit. The only information they have currently is there will be a WM6 upgrade available mid August 2007.

Those codes will work with ODSHOWeather or FeatherWeather(which are accuweather), but not Nrg's weather apps(which are weather.com).

Well I stand corrected. Don't I feel like a Horse's Patoot!
Might want to get NRG's permission to edit his post and add weather.com to that sticky. That's a pretty big left out piece of information for international use.

Try this code for Madrid on weather.com.
SPXX0050
I got that by going to weather.com, typing in Madrid, Spain as the location, and getting its forecast on there. Then you look at the url in your browser address bar to get the code for that location. Look at the url below and notice the bold text.

finding weather codes
mini weather v1.2
here is a link for anyone in the UK that needs a local code for your area
just scoll down the list till you find the place you need.
then look at the link ie for the code for london which is UKXX0085
h**p://uk.weather.com/weather/today-London-UKXX0085?fromSearch=true
so on your phone in the slide pannel Push center button to update
set your location
1 zip or code
enter your code ie london in this case UKXX0085
2 advanced options
make sure you have connect to data connection set to (Y)
other settings should be OK
14 back to main menu
3 update miniweather now
link below is for UK place names Hope this helps.
As it took me a bit of time to find this out, after I found out that miniweather was working just great but i did not have the code for my area.
other options I think you can work out what thay do.
I dont think I can use direct links
so remember to put tt back into the urls below ie http not h**p
UK
h**p://uk.weather.com/search?locati...rchType=2&searchSourceType=2&localeCode=en_GB
EUR
h**p://uk.weather.com/search?search...n_GB&searchType=4&locationId=&searchText=WEUR
World Regions
h**p://uk.weather.com/search?search...e=en_GB&searchType=3&locationId=&searchText=*
For anyone else loking for codes just use the search with link above and look at the URL for your code. ie
h--p://uk.weather.com/weather/today-YOUR PLACE -YOUR CODE?
if all is ok then you should have weather for your area
London-UKXX0085
Manchester-UKXX0092
Birmingham-UKXX0018

[BUG] No donation "star", contact forms are not working

Sorry for posting it here but looks like all contact forms (including "star request" form) at http://www.xda-developers.com/contact/ are not working (I've got endless "rotating arrows" - waiting animation).
My PayPal transaction ID is #1VC83551LP151720A, donated amount is 10 EUR (PayPal converted it to $11.38 USD, may be it's a reason?)
Could you please fix issues? Thanks!

Thank you guys! And I love xda-dev!

@MikeChannon, I am getting the spinning arrow animation as well. Got my first star request in last December without issue (I don't know if the star granting are meant to be automatic - my situation is compounded by having a different email account tied to Paypal than XDA), does not seem to be doing anything with Debian's Firefox here, or with Chrome on my Android tablet.
I had the same issue with another part of the contact form a month or two back as well (so throw in my work PC running Chrome on Win7).
My transaction ID is 08782348EW9725434 (20EUR)
If you need any other details, can reply here as I have already subscribed to the thread. If you need either of my emails (since it's part of the original form), feel free to send me a PM. Thanks!

Question Questions about Screen Call in Europe

Hi,
I read that Screen Call will be activate (or has been activated) in Europe, and it's great, but it seems the feature appear to some people only. Do you know if it's a rolling release and we just need to wait, or if there is maybe some conditions on it? (for example, I'm in France, and on the operator Free Mobile, who doesn't support currently VoLTE for the Google Pixels (they announce the support for December).
And is the feature notified when available, or should I check regularly in the Phone app settings?
Also, for people who already tried it in France or Germany, or any non-english country, do you know if it works only with the local language, or if it can adapt automatically to the country that is calling me? (sometimes I receive call from UK, I think there could be a better understanding if my phone respond in english instead of french).

I'm in the UK. Yes, my set language is English and not French or German, but I have this kind of error at present. I'm hoping that it clears up as I tried this at the very beginning so on T

uesday afternoon

Working here in the UK. Downloaded the language file, and worked straight away.
Have really wound my son up when he called me just, by experimenting with it.
He got so annoyed he put the phone down on me

Same here with the error, downloaded the language pack and just get:
The update isn't ready yet
Wait a few minutes and try again

As far as I know, it only works in the language of the country where you physically reside. So if you use the new Call Screening in Germany, it will only work in German. At least the interface and the voice will be in German - maybe it can understand English or French or Japanese, but the phone app certainly doesn't tell you that.

Where in settings do you find this please

In the phone app setting, should be under the Assistive heading if you have it, just above Caller ID and spam (I'm on the beta for the phone app).

Do you have your phone language set to a compatible language? And only to that?
New Google AI app features (assistant, whatever) tend to break if you have some secondary languages activated that are not supported.

Mh, odd. Would be nice to know if other UK users have the same problem. I know of people in Germany and France who can already use Call Screen, and read about people in Italy and Spain that were able to use it; maybe it's some sort of regional rollout, or maybe it has something to do with the firmware version. Even though that's unlikely, since I still use the old .015 one and it's working for me.

Thanks for the answers, I double-check I had only one language on the phone. So I guess I only need to wait some times for the Call Screen activation... Would be nice to have a small hack to enable it, but I can wait. I guess it's maybe a random rollup, I don't think it's regional as all french smartphone was packaged to add the USB-C earbuds (french law make mandatory to sell these with a phone as a "hands-free kit" for drivers), but all french doesn't have the feature available at this time.
I also tried to see if it appear after using a VPN (with UK, Germany and US location) and clear cache/force shutdown for the phone app, and still nothing. (I know this was working often with firmware update on my previous OnePlus phone)

VPN is not enough to fool Screen Call. You need to spoof your location, language, use an unlocked App version via sideload and even then chances are slim that it's going to work. Back in the days it was possible to sideload some stuff and activate a couple lines code, but then about a year or so Google changed most of the Call Screen stuff server-side, so you as an enduser can't to ****. They either unlock it for you - or you're out of luck.

If you switch off WIFI, then reboot only connected to 4G/LTE it will appear in the phone app.

It's a great device, but i have problem.

If Volte is deactivated it shows the name and number. Is there a solution for this, someone has the same problem? Also i have no wifi calling option.
Thanks for your help.

Hi I am from Singapore carrier Singtel I do not seem to have the problem with caller ID, using Google dialer also. I have not tried WiFi calling yet

That's strange, i don't know what the problem is. Maybe i have to call the support again, but they are not very helpful with their stupid answeres.

Still did not found a solution, i live now without Volte, but that's ok for me.
I have an other question, does anybody know which Gorilla Glas Version this device has and how many Watt charging speed is supported by it, also PD compatible?
Can't find much info about it.

Did you save your contact by using full country code as prefix ?
There's a chance the provider network sending the number information in a different format when VoLTE is activated.
Try to remove one of your contact from phonebook, and try to receive call from those number with and without VoLTE and check whether the number formatting change (prefix, etc)

I tried it as you said by removing a contact and it indeed change the the number to full format with prefix, but as soon i activate VoLTE it changes to unknown. If i save the contact with prefix it still happening. I know it's an import Smartphone, but i never had this problem on any other device.
