I've just got my new 750V from Vodafone with WM6 to replace the 750v i had with WM5 and already there are a lot of things different. With my old phone you could safely put it in your pocket with dialling anyone as you had to press a two key combination to unlock it, the new phone activates by pressing just one button and therefore always ends up coming out of my pocket asking who i want to call or text or trying to open a program. Is there a way of changing which key/keys turn the screen on?
next..I used hidelogo and vjtoday on WM5 but on WM6 hidelogo does nothing although I've seen screenshots by other people who seem to have it working??!!?? vjtoday rmoved the bottom bar BUT it comes back on its on every now and then for no reason.
I'm struggling to find anyone who has WM6 on a treo to helps with these issues.
You'll keep struggling if you post in the wrong forum...

Cheers
P.S. on your locking issue: try reading a manual (or just play around a bit with your machine), it is not really new in in WM6 either...
[Hint: settings, personal, lock; see also device lock in your today screen.]
Good luck!

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.

Okay guys i finally got the 750 from cingular after dreaming about the 750 for 6 months, i have a couple questions, i have an 8525 and i was wondering is there any way to make the homescreen look like that rather than have all these stupid buttons and stuff on it ive tried to change everything the best i can im not skilled at this like i am teh 8125/8525 and teh 2125
What is it you want to do?
It's easy enough to move things around on the today screen control panel.
i dont wanna move stuff i want the stock windows mobile on my phone i dont like this stupid way theyve set it up can i get a normal windows mobile homescreen? like on the 8525?
Go into the Today screen and uncheck the plug-ins you don't want enabled. Check the plug-ins you do want enabled. Move them into the order you wish. The Dial Lookup plugin is the only Treo specific plugin that you can't disable from a today screen checkbox, but why would you want to? That's one of the big benefits of having a Treo.
I am new to the world of PPC, I have used Nokias for the past few years. I bought the O2 XDA Zinc last weekend and have somehow managed to fudge up the OS. For some reason the contacts and calendar have disappeared and the phone boots maybe 1/4 attempts.
I am looking to upgrade to WM6 (or get my initial install back) and am wondering if anybody can point me in the right direction since there isn't a dedicated forum.
Thanks in advance.
Welcome to the forum.
Fortunately you can't permanently "fudge up" the OS on these devices unless you start messing around with ROMs. All you have to do is check the manual for how to preform "hard reset" and you will be fine.
In fact, chances are that if you go to Settings->System you will find a "Clean reset" or similarly named icon. Just click it and follow the instructions.
I am fairly sure there is no WM 6 for your device. Windows Mobile is not a generic OS. You need a specific ROM image for your device so unless the manufacturer makes one or someone "cooks" one you are out of luck (not that WM 6 is that great).
Trouble is though this site is called "XDA-developers" it mainly deals with devices made by HTC (used to be all of XDA brand) and unfortunately the Zinc is not.
Thanks a lot for the quick response. Unfortunately there is no information about doing a hard reset in the manual. By playing around I held the reset button and power button and it brought me to a "clear" screen which I ran. It defaulted back to normal but my contacts and calendar were still no where to be found.
i guess that was the "hard reset" according to O2's official site:
http://www.seeo2.com/product/XdaZin...ll&faq_id=2606&type=faq&category_id=445#q2606
Any suggestions?
Do you mean the contacts and calendar apps have disappeared or just the buttons on the screen?
Or do you mean you have lost your actual contacts details and your appointment details?
I mean the actual applications are gone. The icons are still in the start menu but nothing happens when you click on them. The today screen will crash if I use the calendar or tasks plugin.
Same here no luck of getting an upgrade rom for zinc since mine is a prototype, and the new rom is restricted to download.
any body can help?
Well I finally made a decision and bought the HTC TyTN II a couple of days ago because I just could wait any longer for the Touch Cruise and wasn’t 100% sure I’d like the on screen keyboard to type text.
TyTN II Thoughts:
It’s definitely a power house PDA however in the little time I’ve had the phone, I’m still yet to get use to the size and weight.
Coming from using an o2 Atom Exec which everything is done by using your stylus, it will take a little getting used to sliding out that full QWERTY keyboard rather than pulling out my stylus.
The Keyboard has a nice feel, however you will need a little getting used to pressing the keys closer to the spacebar, other than that I was up and typing like a pro in only a few minutes of having it.
If anyone has any questions, I’d be happy to answer what I can.
Questions I’d like answered:
1: On my Today screen, is it possible to show upcoming appointments for the next 14 days rather than the next appointment only? Or will I need to get third party software to do that example: calplus
2. Current OS version 5.2.1620 (build 18125.0.4.2) is there a newer version or a third party ROM upgarde?
3. Select an Account – is there any way I can delete the E-Mail sample account and Outlook E-mail account?
4. The weather button on the Today Screen, is it possible to replace that with something I regularly use?
5. If I install TouchFlo and the Cube, will that slow my phone down?
6. I installed my miniSD card and the phone asked me if I’d like to install CoPilot so I did. When I loaded CoPilot it tries searched for a GPS but never locks. Do I need to set anything in particular there?
7. What is the on screen keyboard software used on the Touch Cruise, I’d like to try installing that too?
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.
