All
I have an XDaIIi on the o2 network uk. The o2 logo is permanently displayed in the WA area and I do find it irksome and annoying. On my previous phone I was able to remove this by removing the o2 UI active interface application. On this phone this doesn't seem to be possible as it keeps telling me the application is in use, read only etc...
I have gone to Windows folder and deleted associated files but I cant seem to get rid of;
Windows/fonts/xpdr_o2.ttf
Windows/Mobile Solutions/O2ActiveUI/Modules/Connections/connections.exe
Can anyone advise how to disable this at all please so that I can clearly see the icons in WA that I want to see.
I have tried telling WA to ignore o2UI but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
All help appreciated
NB the beta version of Wisbar Advance works fine with the XDaIIi, a must have for any user and well worth the minimum cost!
did you look if it's started in the
windows\startup
and if so tried to remove that shortcut
Doing as RudeGear WILL work because it's exactly what I myself did last week.
No more annoying logo!!
I just removed "connections.Ink" from the start up menu and yes it does appear to have worked.
Thanks both!
Probably silly of me to ask, but why do they put that bloody logo there after all the unit is stamped o2 on the case, so why????
It's not a logo thing, if you tapped it you get a connection dropdown list, for GPRS or USB connections etc.
It's just crap, s'all.

Hi Guys,
For those of you that use GPRS on the jam you know that you have to click on the G logo next to your cellular reception bars and then chose connect. THe problem is I am in the USA and I put in my own gprs settings and it works fine but the default t-mobile UK settings is ALWAYS THERE, now i have two options to choose which gprs to connect, i removed it already in the connection settings and i removed it from the remove programs, yet it still shows up!! Please help! I need to kno how to get rid of it. THANKS! :? it's just too annoying to have to pick from two everytime
try to clean the dead registry by MemMaid or SKTools it may slove ur problem. if so u may need to wait untel xda-developers unlock ExtRom then u can delete TMobile settings cab file.
laterz 8)
Nope that didnt help at all, those just clean dead and invalid registry, i think i need a registry editor...
Ok i used a registry editor and searched for "t-mobile" then deleted the key and then it didnt show up, so fine, UNTIL I DID A soft reset! Then it's back!! what a nightmare...
lol :lol:
if that didnt help then it might be in the database :? or wait untel i do research, it may take 10mins 8)
be right back :twisted:
I got it! I did a more thorough search and deleted ANYTHING that had to do with t-mobile and now ti's gone !!!! :lol:
thats cool m8 8) i'm happy for you :lol:
I'm pulling what's left of my hair out.. Somebody must know how to help me out.
My problem is. As a subby to a very large firm, I have been issued, along with hundreds of other guys, a T Mob MDA II details bit:-
R 1.06.01
G 1337.16
D 1.60.00WWE
I guess you'll need it. Well, an admin geeza has locked them all up sooo tight we can use it to make a phone call and oh yes the other thing receive a phone call.. Imagine my excitement!!!
NO menus no FUNctions nothing! just login as administrator. Now, though very basic, i have a laptop running W98, with Microsoft active sync 3.8, a comm D9 pin to cradle (XDA II from O2 shop) oh yes and no active sync!
what can i do to open access to this wonder of Tech and close the "Kiosk Switcher" window i may not escape from??
PLEASE HELP ME! P.s. great site guys, lookin forward to using my unit as soon as i can.
Doesn't it violate any company agreements/contracts if you modify your company issued MDA ?
Oh where to begin indeed...
Well, i have actually paid in full for the MDA. It's locked up to stop some ppl messing the things up. I'm not the brain of brit but i have a plan. 512mg MMc on its way and no danger of compant software being messed up. :idea:
Please do begin!! Help me..
Also, how long will it take for a donation receipt to come through, i'll need it for the tax man?
hi T3D,
did you try to hard reset it yet?
buzz
Hard reset
That's the power button and reset pin hold down thing yes? Well it all looked good! right up to the point when it ended at the locked window. back to Square 1
Thanks for the reply though.

Well, it sounds to me that they have modified a reg. string that gets loaded and written during the hard reset, (i.e. somewhere in the Ext_Rom!)
Try to press CANCEL while loading (installing) the ExtROM stuff and if the TAPDisable is functional.. then press on the center NAV button during the same process.
I know that restriction :evil: it sucks huh :?:
how about if you just reflash it to 1.72?
all that admin stuff will be gone as last year's snow...
you can even flash it with 1.60 stock version if you like...
buzz
still stuck!
Helpful.. Well, tried the cancel and nav button via hard reset and no joy as yet. now trying to read up on how to re flash.. Any suggestions? :?

Since you paid for it, take it to the admin geeza and tell him to unlock it.
Make sure you look menacing when you tell him.
Update!!
Joy, got in by nav keying the hard reset! Result, had a play but most s/w hadn't installed. This gave me a taste of things to come. Now i looked in the startup for this alpha sequence that boots the thing to locked window and realised it hadn't been installed yet so unable to get rid now i know it's there some where as i hard reset it again and back to sq 1 again!!! this stuff is stored somewhere, but where should i look. gained active link via IR aswell. will re try just need a map to the memory holding install S/W in the hope that maybe i can re write the lock up bit and hard reset to an open book!
Does any one know what the hell i'm on about???? :?
Now that you have succeeded in breaking the start-up sequence, you are left with a basic WM2003.
What did not install iis in the ExtROM.
IF
You install the ExtROM Tools (found on tis site), you can unhide the ExtROMand then one by one install the apps that are in there, UNTIL you find the one that introduces the blocking of functionalty. To do that (after unhide & unlock) look at the config.txt file. That file lists the installation script.
When you find the blocking app, one more time hard-reset, install the tools, inhide AND unlock and: Just remove the line with the app that introduces the blocking.
After you finished dont forget to LOCK the ExtROM & hard reset . . .
BTW Flashing is a good idea too, but maybe you lose some company-specific apps you might need . . .
good luck
I'm in atlast!!
Well i found the offending item last night after many resets and nav key meddling... looked in file explorer/storage and an auto run file(?) was there with a clue in it's title. i hadn't read the reply above at that time so i just put an mmc card in, cut n paste jobbie on the file to the mmc card and Bob became my uncle. I hard reset again to go for the full install and it stayed unlocked from the kiosk switcher!! RESULT! However, the above sounds like a far more sencible idea!! Will do that for the rest of the gang..
Thanks for all the help guys
oh one last Q' every 20-30 mins i get a pop up, bearing in mind i've been in every folder, programme and file, I may have changed a thing or two.. :?
"Cannot Connect
If you use a modem to connect to your ISP,
ensure that it is inserted correctly. To
connect to your work network, you must
create a modem (dailup) connection or a
VPN connection. To create a connection, tap settings.
Settings DISMISS"
What the F*** is that?? I'm still learning... What did i press?
...looks like some application is connecting regulary to internet over GPRS, but you didn't set it up yet. maybe email client...
buzz
Good point and makes sence!
I'll stop running programmes from start/settings/system/memory/running prog's, wait till it pops up and go look what's started, we'll see what it brings me..
As i type we find it's "acticesync". Cheers buzz, been a great help!!
i'm finding USB settings every where but my cradle is a D9 pin comm connection. Is there some specific settin listed in the instruction manuals we never had with the MDA's?
Oh yes. the V2.2 unlocker worked first time for me. No probs as yet to report... OPCS sim works fine. better signal in some places but only to be expected from a different network!
... it is funny...
i can remember, that there was a guy here on the forums, some time ago, asking how he can lock XDAs for employees... just wanted to allow them using the phone only...
maybe it was your geeza admin... ;o)))
try to search for those threads... maybe you'll find some interesting info..
buzz
Tellin me!
Buzz,
YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE..... Just how much info there is on Locking these up. Every site every official O2 an T Mob Site hold details on who, where and how to lock the babys up. Could i find a thing on unlocking?? Beleive me I did my home work. I know soo much about the selfish safe software and by total luck i heard of this site. Full of PDA guru's i was told!
Hat's off to you guys, you got a great, all be it, hush hush reputation!
Cheers for the guidence guys. If i wasn't told you could interrupt the installer i would have tied a noose round the MDA's bettery by now!! Hope this string helps others in my OLD shoes.

Has anyone else tried this?
I wanted to remove the Vodafone customisations from my 750v so I tried the following: a hard reset (reset with power button on > 'yes' to delete all data); as soon as the power and screen comes back immediately remove the battery to interrupt the setup process.
The result? No VF splashscreen and 60MB (was around 48MB previously) of storage memory in addition to the program memory. The 750v seems faster. However, a manual setup of the data connection is required as is a registry edit to change the 121 voicemail button to my providers voicemail number.
I'm sure there are other changes too. I've still to test this properly over the next few days including a trip to a 3G area.
Excuse me if this has been covered elsewhere - I've looked but not seen anything similar.
It is funny, I have just recently heard people mentioning Vodaphone customizations like the splash screen. However, the only customization that I have on my 750v is the Vodaphone Business.tsk.
Yeah, i have a vodaphone and no stuff from them besides the business theme.... which i'm fine that way. That's odd, cuz i've got 66.31MB total storage memory

Does it now include MSN?
>Does it now include MSN?
No it doesn't
The only customization on my Treo 750v is the Email Setup link and the horrible gray theme. I have never seen such a lightly customized phone from a carrier, let along Vodafone. Even Vodafone device I have seen or owned has been branded to the point of instability.
If it wasn't for the Vodafone logo on the phone, you could swear you bought an unbranded device.
Same here guys,
After installing the latest Vodafone UK WM6 ROM, the only customisation I have is the Business theme, other than that, I couldn't find anything else to do with Vodafone which I found odd but believe me I'm not complaining.
Cheers.
German Vodafone - is it the same ?
Is the above mentioned for UK/ireland VOdafone branded Treo, or German as well ? i.e. will the ROM and update to WM 6 work if it is EN version?
thx
HI All,
Just got my TouchPro, supplied to my company by Vodaphone. I am evaluating it to see the suitable to replace our current 710's and 3310's.
I have one major problem, there is no TouchFlo software on the device.
There is a TouchFlo Icon in the Settings\system menu, but there appears to be no actual Touchflo application on the phone.
How do I go about getting the Touchflo app onto the phone?
All help appreciated folks......
Thanks
Should be under start menu, in settings... I have a stupid US version so my settings are limited, but I think that's where it is on yours.
Touchflo
The first time I unboxed my device (also a UK version) I just put some juice into it, as I received the package at the office. I just tried to turn it on and align the screen, no more. When I came home, I switched my sim card (vodafone.nl) and tried to put the device to work. I also did not get any Touchflo picture on my screen. So I ended up hard resetting the device with the sim card inserted. I followed the directions given me, and surprise... Touchflo!
That's odd... The first thing I saw out of the box after calibrating was "Loading TouchFlo 3D..."
Hello, I formated my fuze, installed some programs as S2U2, QuickMenu, and later I saw that there was a "1" number appearing in the tray, as you can see in the image below...
It keeps everytime on the tray when the fuze is not sleeping, I don't know why, but before formating, it has never appeared.
How could I take it off?
Regards.
Henrique
As far as i know this shows the active phone number for phones or simcards that can have more than one number ... Maybe this can help you to find out how to delete this number
Omg... Since I formated my fuze, it has not appeared, but later I installed some programs, and it started on my tray. I am really crazy about this f****** thing on my tray that always disturb others icons... If anybody know, PLEASE, HELP ME to figure out this number one, or I will have to format it again!
I dont know about SIMs that supports more than one number, mine is not a dual-sim, and my fuze is working as worked before formating, I dont know why this number appeared.
Helps, please
heyy... I use just one SIM, why this `1` number???
What is Multi-Lne? How can I turn it off?
I have the same 1 on the tray, since I switched to MobileVikings (a virtual provider in Belgium), in my case it seems to be related to the sim-card I use and it is the line that I'm using (saw that when switching it under Settings > Phone > ALS > line2, might be a little bit different, it's translated from dutch). The stupid thing is I have no idea why there are 2 lines, the second doesn't work, so I'm wondering if I could delete this somehow...
i don't have this problem if i enabled 3g in comm manager, but once i turned 3g off it appeared, hope this helps...
So strange, because before formating, it worked always normally, and I've not changed operator or anything, neither the ROM, only reinstalled it, and now.. this f*** number is disturbing so much on my tray.
I dont want it anymore, ugly number one
Grr
