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.

I think I've killed my o2 mini!! Pls help this poor fool!

OK. The story goes like this....
I recently (about 4 months ago) bought and xda II mini. Love the phone, works(ed) brilliantly. Previously owned and loved an xda II and the mini has not disappointed.
So the phone’s working fine, and I’m bored one day and am cruising through the o2 website. I see there’s a ROM upgrade for the mini (1.11.00 WWE). I download and run the software which works a treat. All was just fine for about 3 days…until last night.
After using it for a voice call I press the power button to put it into sleep mode. The phone freezes. Not thinking this is overly strange I do a soft reset. Not suspecting that all is not well I put the phone down. After about 10 mins, I notice the backlight has gone off but it hasn’t gone to sleep. Strange. I touch the screen. Frozen. A couple more soft resets later I realise that once the backlight goes off OR I press the power button, the phone freezes. So I do a hard reset. Same thing. Uh oh.
I decide to run the ROM upgrade software again hoping this will rectify the problem. It gets worse. There’s no ExtROM on the phone. Now I’m at a loss. What’s gone wrong? What did I do? Why isn’t the ExtROM being installed?
Can anyone please help me install a clean 2003SE WWE for an o2 mini on Optus in Australia, or am I up the proverbial? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I’m not keen on sending it to Queensland for repairs.
Cheers, Paul

IMATE JAM is DEAD, does not boot....
I also have a similar problem, the story goes like -
My IMATE JAM was going perfectly fine, it also had the latest WWE ROM, no issues. Now for some reason, I download from www.pocketgear.com and install the trial version of "Pocket Mechanic" which also installs "Pocket Hack Master 2005". While trying out Pocket Mechanic, I use something called "registry cleaner" which is supposed to cleanup any incorrect/unused registry entries. After this I try "Pocket Hack Master 2005" which is a software to test the CPU speeds. As soon as I run this program, the screen freezes and my phone is dead. I try and reboot the device, but it is stuck at the blue boot-up screen. I am unsure whether my PPC died because of registry cleanup or because of "Pocket Hack Master 2005" software.
Anyways, now, I decide to re-install the WWE 1.12 ROM and start using the device. But, no luck, on the PPC - the blue boot-up screen does not go away and on the installer screen - "Checking information on your device... Please wait...." and is stuck.
I think the device is not booting up and hence is being not recognised by the PC as a USB device.
Please help... I am dead...!!!!

I think I've killed my o2 mini!! Pls help this poo
Well, in case anyone's interested. It appears the phone is back to normal. I trawled and trawled through this site and picked up tidbits of information on how to upgrade a ROM. I downloaded 1.12 and tried installing that which worked as badly as everything else I tried.
I decided to install the Asia shipped ROM (1.11), the instigator of all this mess, but via NemesisDE's method on page 4 of the sticky, instead of running the .exe file as per usual. For some reason, it appears to have taken it!!!
Yes, I'm excited. Even though no-one responded to my post, I got the info I needed from this site. Thanks so much to everyone who contributes here. You'd be surprised how some seemingly ridiculous things, help novices like me.
Thanks again!

flat liner...
what's the method? i think i've killed my mini, and desperately needed help... now i can't on my device and can't even go into the bootloader... please help me...

Blackberry Conncet / Treo 750V Problem

Hi Folks,
I know, there are so many postings about problems with the Palm 750v and Blackberry Connect. But because I desperately need help and I can not find a solution for my problem, I raise this question again.
My device:
Treo 750v from Vodafone Germany
Software-Version: TREO750-1.16-VFD (latest one)
Firmware: 1.12.0c.00
For Blackberry I am using the software which Palm and Vodafone promote on their homepage.
Blackberry-Version: 2.1.1.31
My company has an Enterprise server an everything is set-up properly.
NOW THE PROBLEM:
Once it starts connecting to the server, after the message DatecTunnel is available it is going to turn to: NO CONNECTION and this is not going to change.
By the way, the PIN is generated without any problem or failure again.
Pls Folks try to help me, because otherwise my destiny will be that I will be forced by the company to change to a BB device :-( So guys, this is a real emergency case.
Looking forward to your kind reply.
Bye
Dirk

With firmware 1.12.0c you have to use the client 2.1.2.52 attached in this thread:

Hi, thanks for your suggestion. I tried it, but it did not work either.
Any other idea ? I am getting mad about that.
Thanks in advance for your kind help.

Hi, I re-install everything, soft reseted and now it connects. This is the first step, but still I can not receive and send any mail. Any idea ?

You have to cradle the device with the BlackBerry Desktop Configuration Tool for Windows Mobile on a PC within your company network. This way you connect to your companys BES and get the service books you need.

Sorry, maybe I did not mentioned it. I did this already, but still, no success.

maybe I have to use a different version as well ?

Do you have service books on the device? Check the settings in start >> system >> blackberry.
Normally when you start the BB connect desktop and click on connect, you have to generate a key by moving the mouse. Then your calendar is loaded to the device. Did that happen?

Yes, services are booked. I generated the key and calender was loaded. that is all fine. but still no emails are delivered

Delete the service books (should be 3: ALP, CMIME and CICAL). Then cradle the Treo again and click on connect. Calendar is loaded and key generated.
Plug out the device and make sure that no other programs as Active Sync or Internet Explorer are running in the background (check in task manager on the Treo). Then go to blackberry settings and use the option "register now"

Did it, but no change. The only thing I realized, that a key was not generated, by moving the mouse, because system did not asked for it. But when I see the BB Desktop Software, my PIN is still there. Maybe how to clean the BB Desktop Software ? I de-install and install it again, but the PIN is still there. Does it has something to do with that ?

To make sure that everything is fine on your side, do the following:
Uninstall the Desktop Configuration tool.
Then install this version:
http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/activesync_bbconnect_desktop_setup_4.0.0.17.zip
Don' t use the default path, change it to another one.
Uninstall the BB client from Treo.
When asked if you want to preserve configuration settings, check no.
Reboot the Treo.
Install the BB client again.
Reboot the Treo and when you are connected do register now.
Then cradle the Treo to the new desktop tool and click configure wireless device.
If you still get no emails then, there is a problem with the settings of your user on the BES and you should contact your BlackBerry administrator.

Hi !
I checked with my Admin and with Vodafone. Finally it was a problem on Vodafone side.
That is the comment from VF: I have checked the Phonenumber. The User uses a Palm-Device, and on the RIM-Database, was the Device a Prosumer-Device.
So I changed the settings on the RIM-DB, and resend the necessary Servicebooks. The Device should work better now (maybe make a Softreset from the Palm)
After that and a soft reset all works great.
Thanks for your kind help, which I appreciated a lot.

Hi can you explain how you changed the RIM-DB settings? I have the same issue changing from an E61 trying to setup a Voda 750v

Sorry, I can not tell you, because my ADMIN did that in co-operation with VF. But it seems, that if at VF side your device is registered as a BB it will not work, therefore there must change it. Call your ADMIN and VF and tell them that you are running the BB service with a WM device and tell them it's a PALM Treo.

Vodafone Branded Upgrade - Crraaasshhhh!

Hi Everyone.
Having exhausted the official avenue of enquiry with Palm, I'm turning to you to help me upgrade my Treo 750V, locked to a Vodafone SIM, to Windows 6.0mobile because a) I'd like the speed, b) I'd like my ringer to work, c) I want the latest.
I got my updater off the Palm site, did I as was told to the letter. Upgrade stalled having copied files / just sat there at the "executing upgrade screen" then announced upgrade failed and advised soft reset and try again. I tried again. And again. And again. I have better things to do.
Contacted Palm support. I swear they didn't read the mail - only answered it. I worked with them though and, eventually, everything went quite for a few days. Today, I had a mail advising me to download another updater (they provided a new serial number. Got it. They also told me to run the recovery tool but, are you listening Palm, MY PHONE DOES NOT STALL! IT JUST DOESN'T GET TO THE END OF THE UPGRADE. YOUR WEBSITE TELLS ME ONLY TO RUN THE RECOVERY TOOL IF THE PHONE STALLS AFTER UPGRADE!!!!
I ran the new updater. Same issue. It copies files, sits there for twenty seconds doing nothing, then fails. Phone gets to the colour band screen but that's it. Game over after that.
I tried your flashing soloution off a FAT32 SD card - that doesn't work for me either. I'm not a dummy, honest - WTF I'm I doing wrong?
Vista Vaio with mobile device manager on the PC which connects and syncs fine. No hack or crap on the 'phone.
Help me please before I sledge my Treo to fragments and get a couple of cans and a bit of wet string!

Upgrade accomplished.
Sorry to be replying to my own post - I've sorted this issue out now. Please see my later post - CHEEIMG issue - Sorted

[Q] Internet connectivity issue at SGH-i780 WM 6.1

I dont know if this is the right way to ask this question, or the ringt place in the forum. I just know ive always found a lot of answers here before and now ive come to a dead end. Ive had a problem with my samsug sgh-i780 for atleast six months that i cant fix. I try to every once in a while, but just end up extremely frustrated and agitated. So, this time the same thing happend again, but i am willing to try and do something productive instead and vent my anger and problem here instead
The problem with the phone is that it refuses to connect to the internet. But only specific programs on the phone. Most of them connects perfectly, both via GPRS and WIFI. The problem is the programs that are from microsoft. They all promply refuse to acknowledge any connection whatsover to the internet.
I use WM 6.1, its not the shipped OS but i've updated it with samsungs official updating rom. So, the programs that refuses are IE, windows marketplace, windows update,the built-in podcasts and rss-reader program, maybe some others.
However, these programs COMPLETELY REFUSES to connect. Almost INSTANTY an alert window with "no connection avaliable. please change your settings or try again." or something similar pops up. Immedietly. Extremely provocing to me, since I know theres both a working gprs and wi-fi connection that ALL the other programs (opera (3 different versions)), coreplayer, etc can use, and do USE flawlessly all of the time. Gah, even writing about it drives me crazy
So anyways. Ive googled this thoroughly on SEVERAL occasions, ive gone through every single internet setting i've found on this mobile phone and changed it back and forth on several occasions, ive searched and searched this forum several times but ive ended up with nothing to guide me in troubleshooting/fixing this and i feel like my next step is throwing it into the wall. Wich wouldnt really SOLVE the problem... but atleast eradicate it
Long post, my bad, ill try and keep it shorter. Just wanted to write it all out, maybe im leaving out important info, feel free to ask me complete your picture if this with whatever you need to know. Maybe someone of you recognizes this problem immedietly and knows what it is and how to fix it. Any way, im happy to recieve any ideas and suggestions you might have.
Thank you in advance,
Malte

The best thing you can do right now is wait until i bring an SGH-780i from my workplace and go through the steps with you I'll have it by tuesday/wednesday.
(that is, because i can't really think of a reason for this to happen unless microsoft has found a way to block unofficial roms from using their applcations (doubtful)).

Awesome! I like the timing of yours; tuesday is my birthday
Will be waiting
