Hi All,
I am new to the O2 Mini world and the Pocket PC.
I just received my O2 Mini today in the mail and really like it!
I just have a few questions:
1) In the instruction booklet it saids you can turn off the "PHONE" by pressing the off button more than 2 seconds. However I tried and couldn't. What is the way to actually shut of the phone?
2) SD Card. Just wondering in Pocket PC can you actually use the SD card as a HArddrive? ie. I want to install applications to the Pocket PC but as the Mini size is not that big I want to install the application to the SD card? IS it possible?
3) Is it possible to use Activesync via Bluetooth
4) As the O2 Mini does not have Wifi, is it possible to use the Bluetooth to connect back to my Laptop (Wifi Enabled) and then connect to the Internet??
5) What is Advantgo?
6) How does Pocket PC application work? DO you have to install on the laptop/desktop first and the use the Activesync function? Can you install straight away in the Pocket PC?
7) Is there a Chinese Charater reader/writer available for the O2Mini or I must reinstall the ROM with the Chinese O/S?
Many Thanks for your help!
1 click the signal icon choose fligthmode and it's off
2 yes but sd cards are very slow compared to internal ram so some applications act up if places on it, aslo a sd card have a limited nr of writes before it dies much like cd-rw media
3 yes
4 when your xda is connected to activesync on the laptop then it have acccess to the same network as the laptop have unless you limit it's access
5 some offline browsing pushing thingy you can read about it in help on your xda
6 cab file installs need to be sync'd to the xda and then run (installed)
some exe files are windows exe files and need to be run from the pc and then it autoinstall using activesync
some exe files are CE nativ files and need to be run on the pda
it really depend on the application

Thanks, jsut want to clarify:
1) so what the instruction booklet said is incorrect? I noted that the flight option works, but it will be good if you can just press the button to switch everything off.

Can i use internet connection from my PC (connected by cable - 512/64 speed) to surf on my mobile device?
I have c600, windows mobile 6.0, data cable ,...
on the other side i have cable net w. cable modem, speed 512/64, Windows XP SP2, Active Sync,...
if the answear is YES than can i split connection between PC and mobile.
(for example. 1/4of the speed uses mobile device and the rest for PC)
THX!
You should be able to as long as you had the option to do advanced network sharing (or whatever it's called) selected when you first mated the phone with the PC in ActiveSync. If you're not able to, delete the mating, and re-do it. You will see it - it's impossible to mate the phone without acknowledging this prompt (in ActiveSync v4.5).
As far as bandwidth sharing, I don't think you can split it up like that. The phone is using the PCs bandwidth, and I'm not sure if you can go into your routers settings to allocate bandwidth allocation. Why would you want to do that anyway?

another simple question.
Can i connect my phone by bluetooth or WiFi with PC and using PC internet connection to surf the internet on my mobile device which is in the same room as PC.
I have tried with cables (Active Sync connection) and surfing is perfect but im now going this way because it is easier.
Hi, just got my x7510 a few days ago. Its going to replace my laptop.
But I have a slight problem. When I connect the X7510 as a mass-storage device only the inbuilt flash drive (16GB) shows up but the memory card doesnt. How do I make that show up ? And not via Activesync but as mass-storage.
Thanks for helping in advance !
what version of windows are you running?
also ever tried wm5 storage? you can use it to select hard disk or memory card as the pass through device for usb mass storage
it only grumps if a program is holding access to the device
eg: today plugin using storage card as it's home and has open files being used.
also known as file locking, same as windows
t works fine on my x7500 (ameo)

there is a registry setting you can alter to make the sd card the mass storage device
search on the athena forum as it was mentioned in the wm5storage thread I think
whoops cyberjack is right
The registry setting was for usb to pc
change the settings "USB to PC"
on ameo16gb you can switch settings from ActivesSync to Mass Storage without change registrykeys

Yes but what he wants is to use the sd card as the mass storage device instead of the default SSHD
WM5torage works but its slow. 1MB/s only.
Suggest you give this a try... works great on my 7510.

look for USB to PC

This may be in the settings/system tab and is a lot faster but you may have to do a registry change
have a look in advanced config 3 to see if it can be changed there easily
storage card problem
i inserted a mini sd on x7510 i went to view documents on there it dosent show anything the x7510 dosent know the card is there
If you open File Explorer and navigate to My Device, can you see Storage Card in the folder tree? If so can you open the tree to see your documents?
If so, I can't see any reason why Office Mobile won't pick them up. If not, there may be a problem with either the MiniSD card, or the card slot. Which document types are you opening? For instance, if you have an Excel file in your MiniSD card, open Office Mobile/Excel then at the top of the screen tap the Folder list and select 'All Folders' to see if it picks the file up. This works fine on my X7510
Format the miniSD card with your PC

Take out the miniSD card, slot it into your laptop and format it to FAT or FAT32 and insert back into the X7510.

This was a very old thread, and the problem was answered to an extent!
The OP didn't have a problem with the X7510 seeing the MiniSD card- he wanted Windows to see it on the PC when connected as a Disk Drive rather than activesync. By default, Disk Drive connectivity sees the flash disk not the MiniSD.
There is a registry hack to change this, but the easiest answer is to use WM5torage which can be set to see either.
viewing files
i inserted a sd card in my x7510.but dont know how to view the files from the device.when i go to programs it shows flash disk and device programs
it says oper9
when i enter it it says opera9.storage card.it says the same thing even if theres no sd card inserted
Everytime I browse the files that are in my memory card of my pocketPC phone the windows explorer behavior is odd.
For example - when i click on a picture (locatsed on my card) i don't see it, it just shows a property screen insted.
Another example is when i copy files from pocket-pc to pc i dont see the files on my pc (the other way around works)
anyone know why is that?
This is the default behavior if you're browsing files in the PPC with Activesync. Use WM5Storage to turn your PPC into a flash drive and then browsing will be normal.
thanks for the prompt reply - unfortunately it doesn;'t work on my i780.
the PC seemed to recognize it but i don't get a new drive to browse the files on My Computer (running windows xp)
Under Settings | Connections make sure you have 'Enable advanced network fuctionality' unchecked.
it was unchecked.
Now after playing with th program- i cannot even hot sync...blah, nothing works.
under activeSync-->Connection i have only blanks.
Isn't this app the same as enabling USB Mass storage under the USB Connection shortcut?

Yes. In that case uninstall WM5Storage and us that option to turn your PPC into a flash drive for PC. By the way, using WM5Storage you can switch between Activesync connection and USB Storage , the same as with that option provided in your ROM. The point is your PPC can eoither be flash drive or a PPC (Activesync, etc.) but not both at the same time.
Another thing you might want to check is that Windows sometimes doesn't assign a drive letter to a new flash, so you must go into CONTROL PANEL-ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS-COMPUTER MANAGEMENT-DISK MANAGEMENT and manually assign an unused letter to that flash drive. This happens to me often.
thanks - i will give it a shot
Guys - bad news.
Now i can see my card as Mass Storage (after slected in USB Connection) but I cannot do activesync via the cable (only via bluetooth)
Anyone has a clue how do you restore my connection back - wm5storage have removed it from "activeSync-->Connection".
:-(

This is they way is supposed to happen. If you use your phone as a Mass Storage card reader, you CAN'T do Activesync and viceversa. I don't have that USB2PC setting, but I imagine if you un-select it you'll get back your normal Activesync function.
My phone is telling me that my storage card is full (it’s not) and I’ve lost my ‘program files’ folder, all of my music and the folder with the naked pictures of my ex-girlfriends in………. Damn
I’ve read lots of threads about storage card recovery, but I haven’t found an application that can run from the actual phone itself (I have a Kaiser).
I can’t find my card reader, so can’t connect it direct to my PC!
Anyone got any suggestions?? Freeware is always a bonus
Thanks in advance
never heard about a ppc undelete tool but card readers are dirt cheap
may even work if you put the pda in disk mode and connect it over usb to the pc

PDA in disk mode is new to me? Could you explain how please?? Or alternatively perhaps a program that can work via activesync??
Had a similar issue reecently, all the folders on my card were given random names made up of weird characters. Even connecting to the PC didn't help, still silly names.
I thought, OK, nothing to lose and i soft reset my trinity, hey presto everything came back. Don't ask what had happened i don't know.

I have extra folders with letters and characters (perhaps renamed) but alas, soft reset does nothing......
well, usb to pc mode can be done using Softick Cardexport or WM5torage, but you HAVE to copy the installation files to your DEVICE or it will physically overwrite storage card data. take out your storage card, connect your device and move the installation file to your device, install the program and insert the card, then connect in Removable Storage mode and use Active Recovery 7 to recover your storage card's files.

Great stuff, thank you very much.
I'm on the case now.
So Can Someone Walk Me Thru The Steps To Install
Co0kie's Home Tab v1.7.1
To My Phone...I Connect The Phone And Am Lost From There So Please Go Into Detail =(
I do not think you can connect a windows phone to a Mac computer. They are not compatible.
What you can do instead is -
1.download the cookiehometab.cab file on your computer,
2.then send yourself an email that is linked to your phone and attach the .cab file.
3.dowload the attachment on your phone and then run it to install it.
That should be all you have to do.
re
You can download the apps to your computer, they will just be unrecognizable. Transfer them to your SD card through USB or Bluetooth, and then search it on your phone. This worked well for me. Quicker then DL them strait from your phone!
theres a software called "missing sync" for mac's. try searching for a torrent or unless you want to buy the program. but it works better than activesync in my opinion.
Moved as not software release.
I'm using a macbook to connect to my hd2 most of the time. No problems connecting at all.
Connect USB cable and connect as disk drive on HD2, Macbook sees hd2 sd card as disk drive. Just access the drive on your mac and transfer the file(s) to hd2 storage card.
Or, if you have set up a bluetooth connection between the mac and the hd2, use the mac's "sent file" option in the bluetooth menu.
After you get the file to your HD2 you can use the original installation instructions again.
The syncmate program works great for syncing your contacts etc. But had some trouble getting it to work through bluetooth. I use the USB for that. But than the phone has to be set to active sync mode.
(love my macbook pro, but hated the iphone hype and the restrictions hence the HD2)
