Annoying o2 logo/ XDaIIi

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.

Differences between O2 and imate units?

Hello, I have had an O2 XDA II for a year now. My company has just supplied me with the i-Mate equivalent (MDA III ???) , anyhow, I have noticed a couple of differences and would like to know what other there are...
the i-mate has th US version of the ROM installed, not the WWE .
It does not seem to have an extended rom,. or the extra 16M of 'storage' that the XDA II had, is this right??? I thought the two units were physically identical inside. Does this mean I will now have to install my programs into the normal Ram, I used ot put them into 'storage' to save my memory.
When the units are hard reset, they run an automatic program to set them up, I cancel this by pressing the reset button. I know the XDA II setup configures the unit with all of O2's software and icons etc. What does the imate version of the setup install?? I would like to know if there is anything useful in there.
THe setup program must be stored somewhere?? This I would asume to be the extended rom area as mentioned abvoe but I cannot seem to get the EXTrom tools to work any ideas??
Are there any other differences I should be aware of.
Thanks very much

Also, I have noticed that the Bluetooth icon is missing form the system tray, I used to use this quite a lot to turn the BT on and off, is there any way I can get it back??
Currently the only way to get to the BT is via settings,connections.

Voicemail Icon Issue Anyone???

HI there, I was using WM6 since we all got a chance to, and i did notice since very early stages, of WM6 developement, my Uni started having a REAPEARING VOICEMAIL ICON issue. Even after listening and deliting your voicemail (BTW i am on Orange) the icon stayes there. Which began to be really annoying recently, so i called orange thinking its their fault, as usual, but they could not do a thing (as usual).
I hard reset the device -- didnt help
I reflashed with all other possible options of WM6 -- didnt help
I tried different Sim -- didnt help Believe it or not.
Anyone has any idea how to get rid of it???
Thanks

Voicemail notification
I think you'll find that this an Orange issue. I had the same problem with WM5 & 6. Orange flush something out of the system from their end it clears the voicemail notification from your phone after a warm reboot. Just don't tell them your using WM6!

JUST CAN'T fix Q9h WM6.1 SMS timestamp error.

Hi everyone!
I've been going through this ENTIRE forum, and countless others on top of dozens upon dozens of google searches, and I still haven't found a solution to my SMS timestamp error.
All the solutions offered up by people seem seriously promising, because they seem to help a lot of people, and that is what's kept me hopeful: that someone out there/in here can help me fix this problem.
Basically, I have an unlocked Fido Motorola Q9h, that is being used on the Rogers network. Never delved into flashing my device, cuz I was happy with WM6. Not to mention I'd got it tweaked to a very lovely point
Then a week ago, my phone locked up after I'd put my phone into airplane mode (I'd done this countless times before with no issue), and just would not let me turn the antenna back on. Nothing I tried worked, so of course I eventually caved and did a hard reset. That was when I figured I would give WM6.1 a try, seeing as how my device was gonna be starting from scratch anyway.
I flashed to an unlocked AT&T WM6.1 ROM, and went ahead with all the registry tweaks to remove all the bloatware. Phone is pretty damn clean if I do say so myself. I've got PHM on there, GPSID, CHome COnfigurator, and that's really about it.
After all that was said and done, and I got my first SMS, I realized the message was timestamped 4 hours behind. Every single SMS from every single contact shows timestamped 4 hours earlier. In the threaded SMS stream, my messages are timestamped correctly, but the other peoples' aren't.
Example:
Me (7:37): Send me a text to see if this timestamp issue's been fixed.
Steph (3:37): Okay =)
The strange thing is that MMS messages come in with the correct timestamp, and that is something that seriously boggles my mind.
Please, please, PLEASE. If anyone out there has some kind of suggestion, I would absolutely love to hear it. Here are the remedies I've tried that have had no effect:
-Installed DST cab from Microsoft.
-"TrustTimeZoneField" w/DWORD value of "0" minus quotations of course
-"TrustTimeZoneField" wDWORD value of "1" to allow the device to trust the provider's time just in case my phone was screwing up.
-"RcvTimeStamp" w/DWORD value of "1"
-tweaked some "NetworkTimeSync" (or something along those lines) entry to a value of "1" instead of its current value of "0," but nothing.
I'm at the end of my rope here guys and girls, so please, anything you can suggest that I haven't already tried would be infinitely appreciated
Thanks in advance everybody

although i dont know the answer ive got a thing for you to try
in the setting section make sure you regional settings are set correctly

Thanks Pilot, will double check those settings. Well, as per your instructions, I've double-checked the settings, and they're correct. Have my locale set as English (Canada), and nothing. Even changed it to English (United States) just to see, but to no avail.
*sigh*
I am almost at my wits end...Is there no one out there with a Q9h running the unlocked AT&T WM6.1 ROM, that's having the same issue??? Or even better, someone out there who's SOLVED the issue?
I've even called Rogers and they suggested a new SIM card, seeing as how I have the original SIM from Rogers, and I'm waiting on it. I've even tried my sister's SIM which is a new one, but nothing. Figure it HAS to be the ROM

Found a solution to timestamp issue with q9 & wm6.1!!!
Hi everyone!!!
I can't believe I'm actually going to be the person posting the solution to this problem, but I guess it's true that perseverance pays off
This post is in regards to the sms timestamp issue that I've noticed several people are having with the moto q9 once they upgrade to wm6.1 and are on a Canadian service provider.
***This solution involves modifying your device's registry, so if you do not feel comfortable or are unfamiliar with the process, please do not proceed with the modification. I will not be held responsible for any bricked/malfunctioning devices as a result of this tweak***
Use a reg editor (I used the free PHM registry editor), and navigate to:
-HKLM (HKey Local Machine)
-Software
-Motorola
-RilDrv
Now that you're in the RilDrv Folder, there should be a few more folders in here...don't navigate to any specific one, just click the "values" softkey (whatever it may be for your devices), and somewhere in the values that become visible, you should see one that says "LocalizedTimeStamp." Open that value and modify it's value to "0" (without the " " of course)
Reboot your device, wait 10 seconds, cross your fingers and toes, and restart your device. Once your device is fully booted, and seems to be functioning normally, send yourself a text message, and check the received timestamp. It *should* be correct (ie. a minute or two or less in the future of your sent timestamp). To be sure it isn't just for your own texts, ask someone to text you anything, and hopefully the result it yields will be the same.
I have only tested this solution on an unlocked Motorola Q9h from Fido, running the unlocked AT&T WM6.1 ROM on Rogers.
I serached for close to a month with no real viable solution, so I just kept poking and prodding at my registry. Yeah, kinda dangerous I know, but I was at my wits end with this little bug. Finally though, the time and investigation paid off
Hope it goes well for all of you out there who are having the same problem!

Soon-to-be TP2 owner questions

Hi
I am new here and will soon be getting my Telus HTC TP2 and unlocking it myself via mobileincanada.com i had a couple of questions:
will i have any trouble unlocking?
i am buying it used so do i have to clear the ESN before i can use it? or what should i know about the ESN?
can i install the apps, .cab files found in the other section? or do i have to find CDMA only apps? Do apps work for both GSM and CDMA?
can i reset to factory defaults from settings to eliminate the previous owners info and data? or is there a button key combination?
is there a way to make Opera the default browser on the Internet tab?
is there a way to apply a diferent theme without installing a different ROM (since i've read we cannot do that yet for CDMA)?
is there anything else i should know as a new owner/user?
this is all i can think of for the moment. any and all help is much appreciated
thanks!

1) CDMA TP2's cannot be unlocked as of yet, I know that the community is working diligently on it.
2)You can't "clear" the ESN, it's the electronic serial number unique to each phone, it's kinda strange that you're able to find one used already, what you should check to see is if the phone was reported stolen, so basically you need to call your carrier and check to see if you will be able to activate that phone on their network.
Here's a relate post on another forum (mostly regarding a sprint phone but same idea)
http://cellphoneforums.net/sprint-pcs/t224073-how-clear-sprint-esn.html
3)You can install just about any app you want as long as it's compatible or signed *scratches head* I think there's a tweak cab file on ppc geeks that enables unsigned apps here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=78019
4)Yes, not sure what the button combo is for sprint but for my verizon tp2 it's
-make sure the phone is OFF
-hold the "volume down" (the button on the side with the "-" on it) AND the send key (green button)
-While holding said buttons, press the power on button (red button) and follow the onscreen prompts.
5)It already is.
6)You can always disable Touch Flo 3D from the Today options or even install SPB Mobile Shell (I think that's what it's called) for a different theme, but if you're just talking about normal windows mobile 6.1 today themes, just disable Touch Flo 3D from the today menu in your options screen (All settings) and install themes you normally would as with any other version of WinMo 6.1
7) Phone works best with a good data plan and just like any other windows mobile device, expect to do a soft-reset every other day. And be ready for people asking you if you got a new type of iphone or that IS an iphone or if your phone has anything to do with the iphone.

thanks for your quick reply however i do know for a fact that TELUS TP2's can be unlocked i just happened to come across one person who had difficulty. that's why i was asking.
actually here this is the people that do the unlocking and they have a video on there. if you pause at the right time you can see the IMEI which is strange to me since i though CDMA phones were supposed to have ESN.
Click here for the site that unlocks the TELUS TP2 and the video where you can see the IMEI and unlocking demonstration. its a youtube video but make sure you have the plugins or use an appropriate browser or something because i couldnt see it on IE but i could with Chrome.
actually looking at the video again there are 4 numbers titled:
IMEI
WEID (first letter a little hard to make out)
S/N (is this the ESN?)
P/N
im attaching a screenshot.

Hi subby! I think what's tripping people up is your use of the word "unlock".
From the article you posted, the summary states: "You can see how to enter the unlock code to unlock GSM on the Telus HTC Touch Pro 2 Worldwide Edition." This is talking about unlocking GSM.---
---When people in this forum talk about 'unlocking', they're referring to the ability to load a different Hard SPL, so that they can install WM 6.5 on the phone. These are two completely different uses of the word "unlock."
I'm not sure which one you meant in your original post, but the TP2 does NOT have a HSPL released for it. So, you're stuck with WM6.1 (until HTC releases WM 6.5 in a few days)
The phone's great, however. I'd def. recommend.
