ActiveSync and defalt country setting problems with O2 - General Topics

Hi all
does anyone know if it is possable to permanently set the contry in the O2 - My Xda - connections menu to UK. It always defalts to Germany which seems to stop ActiveSync working. I am having to re-set it every time I want to sync.
Cheers

Have you tried in Settings/System/Regional settings?

Iv'e tried that maccboy. Does anyone else have this problem with O2 ?

The problem of Germany always being selected is a known one. Everyone gets it It should not affect active sync at all. Maybe something else is causing the problem.

Summertime!

Now we've put our clocks ahead in the UK (who forgot?) I see that my computer did this for me automatically. Why can't my xda iis do this?
Plus now all the times on my worldmate are wrong. My mate is Oz is only 7 hours ahead but worldmate says 8. There must be a BST setting that I've missed??
My IIi done it for me automatically :twisted:
Hmm mine didn't, at least not at the 2am cutover...
my jam done mine automatically you sure you guys havent got it set to US in the calendar options and language settings?
My Qtek 9090 did !
My XDA2I did, and so did my XDA2. Possibly as a rresult of the last firmware upgrade. I don't remember it happening before.
My Qtek 9090 did correct the time automatically and issued a textbox informing me about it.
BUT: Now all items in my calendar are shifted one hour!!! I can't believe such a stupid bug!
I checked and confirmed that my time settings are on the same time zone, both laptop and Qtek 9090. Even doing a new sync did not solve this and at the end I had to correct the reoccuring events manually!
This is really a lame bug. Has this happend to anyone else, or have I done something really stupid?
Cheers,
vma
No such problem for me allthough I do recall it happening on my XDA2. Can't think of any settings that would effect it (other than maybe Clock which I have set as GMT London.)
Clock GMT / BST
XDA 1 ... adjusted to BST time ...clock changes BACK (by itself or maybe on sync?). If the GMT setting is changed, changes ALL calendar appointments! ... but changing the GMT setting back again resets all appointments.
Crap but I've come to expect that.
Anyone know how to fix the time to prevent reverting to GMT?
Cheers

Do you have your phone set to update in your time zone? It is one of the following registry keys to make the actual page appear under phone settings if you don't already have it:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting]
"ShowTimeZonesPage"=dword:1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"NITZEnable"=dword:1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting]
"ShowNITZPage"=dword:1
Someone else can tell you which one of those it is (I think it is only one of those keys, for instance, I think all I did was change "ShowTimeZonePage" to 1. Someone with a larger brain than me can correct me though.
You can also user advanced config to configure this.

Do you have it set in Phone?

I had the same problem, and I ended up removing my account (which was kinda tricky)
here's the link to how I removed it (if you want to do that)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355277&page=7
I'm sorry but with your method, I can't resolve my problem ....
Can you browse the net in the meantime? Maybe a connection problem rather WLM?
news about the problem?
Always the same problem !!!!! I don't understand why ?
Try to use WLM without your Orange simcard.
Here, these guys have the same problem with their Symbian.
With Orange Sim, unable to connect and without Orange Sim, everything is OK.

Phone not available after using GPRS/EDGE

Hi,
I'm not sure whether this problem was being solved/is resolved somewhere in this forum, but I wasn't able to find a solution to a problem I'm facing.
The thing is, that sometimes (not always) after I've browsed the web on my Vox, the phone seems not to be reachable on the network, i.e. if I try to call my mobile phone from another phone, I just get "The number you are calling is currently unavailable, please try again later".
This seems pretty confusing to me, since the phone shows that it is normally connected to a network and isn't reporting any kind of problems. But it really isn't able to receive a call...the only thing that works is to restart the phone.
Unfortunately, there's no way to tell if the phone is just fine and noone is trying to reach me, or it is stuck in this strange way...
Has anyone experienced simmilar behaviour/found a solution? Any help would be appreciated.
I'm running Dr. Gonzo's Rose v0.3 ROM by the way, but as far as I remember, it also was happening with other ROMs....
P.S.: I'm sorry for my poor english.
Hmm is there really noone else with these problems? Could it be a hardware problem then? Or anything specific for my Vox only?
I have this problem too - my vox sits mostly unused now

Orange SPV E650 + WIndows Mobile 6.5 (or any rom!) internet problems

Hi there,
I am having some very annoying problems with my phone and getting it to connect to the internet. I have the Orange branded SPV E650 and have flashed it with the new Windows Mobile 6.5 beta rom. Strangely (as with other roms aswell so Im not saying its a problem with them rom!) I cannot access the internet on it. I have tried going to the Orange website and getting the GPRS connection settings sent and they saved fine and I can see them but IE still wont connect with the following error: "Failed to connect to the internet. Data coverage may be unavailable". So after those settings didn't work I deleted them and tried using the Connection Setup application which retrieved settings based on my Orange network provider and being based in UK. That also inputs settings on to my phone but also IE still fails to connect. By doing it that way it sets up a proxy in connections but unsure if that helps, as whether i keep it and try to connect or delete it I still can't connect! I have signal so thats not the problem and also Orange say everythings ok at their end. Also in comms manager with the Data connections I cannot turn it on, a "G" icon on the signal icon in task bar flashes on and off, toggles between them like its trying to connect but does nothing eventually.
Im really stuck and tried different roms but experience the same!
Any ideas guys? Would love to receive some of the great knowledge found here!
Many thanks!
Craig

when i too faced the same problem, i tried this... u can also try, it might work for you too.
in the internet explorer, goto tools, options select connect to internet, instead of auto!
Hi guys,
I had the same problem with my SPV E650 ( aka HTC VOX ) . The problem is related to the WIFI adapter who keeps its IP number although not in use. You have to release manually the IP , or , better , go to : Start , Settings, Connections , select GPRS but do not click on it ! , ratter go menu ( bottom right ) , Advanced ( the only option ) , and there on Internet connection go to Orange Internet instead of Automatic, and voila ! ( or at least for me it worked fine ! )

P.S. please keep me posted. Thanks ,
Hi all,
I have the exact same problem. The phone, SPV E650 (HTC S710), orange branded, reflashed to WM6.5, tried more versions, but i can't get it to connect to the internet. No one found any solutions?
I have the same problem but even with the wifi, is
Explorer from MSN as I fix that?
Mine is a S710
ok, I found the solution in my case. the operator had to start the internet service for my number. weirdly, I had it activated some time ago...
hi guys, i no longe have a vox, now got a Touch Pro 2 (and loving it!) but the problem was that despite my request for internet with my service provider, they hadn't actually activated it, so all my attempts to solve a 'problem with my phone' were pointless lol. good luck guys!
I've exchanged my Vox to TP2 too. which Rom do you use on it?

I use The Cell Series V6 (eagerly awaiting V7 soon to be released!). It is perfect for me, it is fast and responsive, no problems with any feature like bluetooth/wifi not working and it has far better graphics than any other rom I have tried. If you haven't tried it i would suggest you do!
How about u?
Win Mob 6.5
I suggest an upgrade to winmo 6.5. It’s a great OS and works brilliantly on the Touch 2 Pro. The Honeycomb menu makes browsing so convenient. The windows Market Place is packed with Many applications that will interest you!

sudden problem with softbank connection. Why?

Hmm I just got back to Kyoto from a trip to New Zealand and found that my phone will no longer connect with the opensoftbank connection. THE PHONE CAN BE USED AS NORMAL. Anyway, when connecting to the internet, I get the following error:
"Dialed : open.softbank.ne.jp. Cannot connect for an unknown reason"
Neither installing of the connection .cab or the wifiwake method , with the correct wifiwake, nor even putting the password in by hand, worked. I have tried several different roms. Of course, I did the usual and checked the connection to make sure password was actually inputed, etc. Anyway, I am sure I know what I am doing since I have been doing this since the Hermes; and remember, the think worked before leaving Japan.
So, I thought perhaps I had a phone problem. Well it appears not. Installing the original softbank rom works! Anybody else had any similar issues of late? Strange indeed.
UPDATE: On the original Japanese ROM I deleted the original settings (which are hidden by the way) and manually put the opensoftbank settings in and all still worked. Now, get this: I installed jmckeejr's Chrome 23037_Beta2 and even put in the autosettings (the vodafone [email protected]) just to see if it would let me connect... it did not. SO, neither the old vodafone nor the softbank open settings appear to work. Damn, makes me think softbank have clamped down on us, somehow... Anyone got any good ideas, please let me know.
Softbank seems to have stopped service to my phone this morning as well. It was fine yesteday, I've been paying my bills and using the data connection very modestly.
For me, however, it's not only the data connection that won't work anymore but I can't even make phone calls. I reinstalled the 6.1 official Softbank rom and this didn't help the problem. Something strange is going on here.
Hi Jonathan. I hope you could solve your problem. I solved mine by installing the latest NRGZ28 EnergyRom Warhawk. It worked fine. It seems that some of the later roms than this (released around end of Aug/beginning of Sep) do not work with softbank's connection settings.
I will do a little more poking around to see if I can find out any more information as to what may be causing the problem, as at the moment it is all a mystery to me. Cheers.
