Help - SPB GPRS Monitor

Cannot install this onto my XDAIIs via my home computer.
I have tried to install ActiveSync but this doesnt seem to be activating on my PC, the instructions in the O2 user manual are very vague.
Has anyone else had this problem and what am I doing wrong, the GPRS monitor is a must have on my XDA as to know my actual usage.
Thanks

You need to get ActiveSync working first. You can't install software from the PC without it. The instructions in the manual are sketchy, but the installation process talks you through it.

ActiveSync, indeed, is a must. before you could install any app via PC, you have to have activesync working.

android newbie with tech and stategy questions :-/

Hi All
Although I've been around Linux since Red Hat 4 and have worked with pocket pc's and phones since the halcyon days of pocket pc 3 (old cassiopeia E125's, hp journada and the like) I have only been an android user for about 60 hours!, coming in from WM6.1 on a Raphael.
In order to get my Desire ready for my business use I have 2 things that I need to resolve with a fair degree of urgency. But admit that trying to do so has lead to both "roadmap" questions and technical issues.
I need to get openvpn running on my desire, along with Bluetooth PAN based networking. I have a workaround for this week in so far as I have my Linux Netbook tethered via USB to my Desire, and run openvpn from an xterm but the way my business works, I need to get that built into the desire - The "needs" driver fro the bluetooth modem is working with a customer supplied laptop where I am supposed to read my "corporate" email using my own modem , but am not allowed to connect any USB data device / install any 3rd party software to the laptop (go figure!!!!) the "customer laptop" has bluetooth but no wifi (card removed and a business specific card in its place)
SO... step one seemed to be "root the desire"
This I have done. It was an 0.80 / 1.21.. build device and seems to be fine
However, I am mindfull that froyo is around the corner and also that since rooting the device I am getting notifications of updates, so my first questions are:
1) can I safely apply the OTA updates on my rooted device please?
2) when (if?) the "official" froyo release comes out, can I safely upgrade to that
and retain root privileges ?
3) is it worth going the "cooked rom" route to obtain froyo more quickly please ? or is it sufficient to install A2SD and resove my core need for it ?
Step 2 was to install some software to enable bluetooth PAN based Network sharing...
I have tried a couple of apps
pdanet specifically says that it uses (when you set the appropriate option) bluetooth PAN, but my ubuntu lucid based netbook on ever finds the DUN (dial up networking) profile
the paid version of bluTether (or was it tetherBlu ?) refuses point blank to start so has been uninstalled. Need to either contact the developer or get a refund
So my next questions are :
3) Is there an app that someone has used successfully, with an ubuntu lucid based pc, to bluetooth PAN tether their netbook to their desire droid please ?
4) Is there a howto (as I haven't found it when googling) please ?
perhaps the most important oen to crack for me though is openvpn.
I have installed the openvpn app and gui from the market, but I read here that the desire does things differently and that I need a zip file with some updates and the "recovery console" to enable them and resolve the issues with a shell script.
try as I might - I cant find a reference to this "recovery console" , it sounds like it gives shell access to the desire either locally or remotely so ...
5) can someone please explain where I find the recovery console ?
many thanks in advance
cheers!

I'll answer some of your questions for you, the rest I'll leave to someone who knows more
1) can I safely apply the OTA updates on my rooted device please?
2) when (if?) the "official" froyo release comes out, can I safely upgrade to that
and retain root privileges ?
3) is it worth going the "cooked rom" route to obtain froyo more quickly please ? or is it sufficient to install A2SD and resove my core need for it ?

You can install an OTA update on a rooted handset, but you will lose root. If you use a custom rom, you will not be able to install an OTA update.
It depends on what you want from a Froyo rom. There are a few fairly stable ones, but none work 100% yet. The closest to 100% would be DJ Droid froyo with sense rom.
So if stability is a concern I'd personally go for Pays 2.1 rom with A2SD.
Edit: the recovery console is a custom recovery that you either flash to the handset using the unrevoked method, or via an update.zip file on the root of your SD card. Another is via a market app. called Rom Manager.
There was an older method of pushing the recover to the handset via usb, but this can lead to the usb brick so should be avoided.
Do a search on fakeflash or unrevoked.

[Q] Bluetooth file transfer with Windows 7

With Windows 7 I am unable to transfer/receive files over bluetooth with Defy. Have tested with Windows XP it works fine. If anyone have a solution for this please share.
Note:- Mods - I couldn't find any topic specific to this issue hence created a new thread. If required please merge it.

Try bluetooth file transfer app from market. Although both native pair and using this app work for me in Win7 sometimes i have to use the app ^ to get things going. Also delete your pc from bluetooth settings, delete the device from device manager in win7, try to pair them again. As win7 has so many issues with drivers, it's a common error. Also make sure the bluetooth adaptor driver (if any came with it) is installed properly /last version and not some Win7 generic driver instead.
Hope i helped and it works.

I too have some issues with the bluetooth. The speed seems to be very slow. Also when sending multiple files most of them fail. I've tried sending files to different phones. Same issue.
