O2 got clever! - PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General

I have just recieved my third XDA IIi with the latest rom on. Going into windows\startup to remove the O2 active ui shortcut I see its gone! I have used the slider to move it but cannot remove it!! All thats listed is the following:
Camera_Detect
CheckAutoRun
Connections
elatepushservice
IA_CID_Startup
poutlook
RunBT
STK
Any clues? - I have no strong objections to the o2 ui but like to remove that icon as it clogs up the start bar...
Andy

I blive it to be the connections option to remove the o2 icon.

o2 got clever
try this setup xda 2i using corporate settings o2ui will not be installed then go to this thread http://innocentstuff.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26463 to obtain o2 uk settings cab

It it most certainly the shortcut labelled "connections" that starts the annoying o2 icon in the toolbar.

New to all this. Just bought a XDA IIi I want to remove the O2 Active UI.
I keep seeing references to "windows/startup" but I cant find "windows/startup".
Can anyone tell me how I find windows/startup?
Is it possible to get rid of O2 Active but still keep the little battery meters?

Just found out where it is I think. I was looking for something on the screen, but realised it was a folder.
I found it using active sync and "exploring"
Do I have to remove it from activesync or from filemanager in the PDA?

Get your O2 Plus Beta here :) <--------- Must have :D

Here's the O2 Plus beta which I got off my GF's Mini Works great and who needs 3rd parties plug in now
reply
And whats this supposed to be???
Inspection of the CAB file shows it to be some kind of today plugin called O2+tdy.dll and an associated exe called 02plus.exe.
Wary about installing at the moment - may look later!
Anyone else willing to try and give some feedback as to what it does?
It's a Today's plugin from O2... It adds things like Alarm, Call divert status, profile, batt status, memory status, MSN Messager status, application shortcuts etc etc to your Today's menu or the bottom task bar.. It's even more useful than Battery Pack Pro IMO.
So far, it's only available for download from a Mini, and it's still in Beta stage, but I have no problem using it on my IIs so far.
It might slow your BA down quite a bit if you have the Today's menu plugn on, but I'm only using the bottom task bar plugin and so far it's excellent. Give it a shot if you don't trust me
Doesn't want to run on my O2 XDAIIs (UK) version.
Installs ok - but get the following error message when plugin is activated omn today screen;
"O2 plus for XDA application is designed for O2 devices which can't run on other devices"
Informative eh ?!?
Cheers
Mark
Wait... On my IIs, I'm running Imate ROM but with cooked original O2 Ext. ROM, I guess the program checks for provider of the Ext. ROM??? What are you running?
Original software & ROM as supplied by O2 UK.
Another thing to note - when plugin is installed, the screen on my XDAIIs seems to try & refresh every 5 seconds or so ... very annoying (You can see it physically flicker & refresh). Just disabled the plugin (even though it doesn't work) and the problem has gone away !!
Anyone else having any luck on an XDAIIs ?
Cheers
Mark
I will give it a try... lets have a look what happens :shock:
Get an error after install saying O2 plus for Xda application is designed for o2 devices, which can't run on other devices. Seems to think its installed, if you go into
Start > Settings > Today - Items Tab ... seems to be there, get the same error when you try to go into it's options too. Never mind, im running the Imate CE rom, listings in my sig. :shock:
o2-plus is designed for xda IIs , mini , PM10A and PH20B.
If you use other devices (include xdaII) , you will receive error message.
Glad to report that this one works just fine !!
Installed on my XDAIIs, and now 'playing' with the additionnal icons that have appeared at the bottom.
Many Thanks
Mark

UK o2 Active settings after upgrade

Anyone know the o2 active GPRS manual settings for the BA? I have just performed an upgrade with the o2 Asia rom and obviously now dont have the UK Auto configurator!
Well... whilst I started typing this I FINALLY got through to the o2 Data Support group (0800005005), who gave me the following settings which got me up and running!....
MY ISP
<Add a new modem connection>
Connection name:My Connection
Modem:Cellular Line (GPRS)
Access point name:mobile.o2.co.uk
User name2web
Passwordassword
<Advanced=>Servers>
DNS:193.113.200.200
ALTDNS:193.113.200.201
MY WORK NETWORK
<Add a new modem connection>
Connection name:My Connection 1
Modem:Cellular Line (GPRS)
Access point name:wap.o2.co.uk
User name2wap
Passwordassword
<Set up my proxy server=>Advanced>
WAP: 193.113.200.195:8080
I dont know if this is obvious information, but I couldnt find it anywhere... so I hope it helps someone!
On a side note, whilst upgrading the ROM to a non UK variant, is there some way of avoiding these sorts of troubles?
Cheers,
Jon.
Yes mate, simply use this cab file to install the settings into the phone, therfore not having the trouble of having to type them allin manually!
Any chance of expaning further, how do I replace / install this cab!
Cheers,
Jon.
Never mind, i see this is just a standard cab... thought it was part of the extended rom files or sumthin!
Thanks for that!
Jon.
Could a mod rename this thread please?
I nearly missed it, thought it was to do with the evil useless O2 Active software, not the useful settings for gprs!
cheers mate - just what I needed after my upgarde to the i-mate ROM
O2 XDA IIs UK upgrade using ASIA ROM, will it be a problem?
Hi!
I will be using my XDA IIs O2 UK in the Philippines(ASIA), but I got it from UK. Will there be problems if I will load my UK phone with the ASIA ROM.
Thanks
Hope this is what I need .
Running XDA2i in corporate install, will this CAB put all the required info in the settings to allow GPRS, e-mail wap etc?

Weather does not work in HTC Home Plugin

I already know about another device with the same problem. The city list is empty and options are disabled. My device is a production unit bought in UK.
Anyone got this working? anyone can sugget how to fix?
Giving this a big kick 'cause I'm having the same problem. No options show up when setting up the weather, and Select and the Menu-options won't work either.
I'm connected to the internet via Wi-Fi by the way.

Have u guys tried installing a newer version of HTC HOME?
font problems
Ronen, you being Israeli, i suppose you have hebrew installed.
Disable it, soft reset, and set the weather location. then enable the hebrew again.
Worked for me. Mine is set to Netanya now.
Not working for me either. I tried using HHC 0.8b and 1.0 with no luck on several cities in my area. Running version of HTC home in Schaps 4.3 rom.
I remember you used to have to edit the weather database with notepad to add your city then copy back to ppc. Doesn't work either. I disabled the weather tab and am using xcast.
Try going to http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/
I also had to manipulate my connection settings - but that only applies to media net in the USA - I had to disable the proxy and in my Work connection, tell it to connect to the internet
GuyGush- you are a genious!!!
Disabled the additional language and was able to choose NYC for my city!
Thanks
Carmel
can someone help. maybe a litte offtopic but ive tried dosens of htc home plugins on my qtek 9100 (mda vario) on wm5 but dont seem to get it to work some times is leave big black square where the clock and tabs suppose to be
Never mind it works what happend was that ive dutch langauge so the flo touch config was set on program files (programma bestanden in dutch) change it works perfect
HTC Home Weather and Quickdial
I solved problem with my German MDA Vario II:
With HHC software I changed the default language of HTC Home. After that everything started to function! It was so easy, byt I looked everywhere for days without finding this anywhere.
Hope it will solve the problem with all other HTC users.
Find this software: HHCv10Final.CAB

UK Vodafone Kaiser Users...

do you have any trouble with the vodafone Calendar plugin?
Just asking as every so often, I get a notificationerror stating;
'cannot execut vcalpulg.exe'
I'm not over excited about it as I could turn it off and use the WM version. Anyone else have this problem or know if there is an update from Vodafone? Have looked on their site but cannot find anything on it.
Thanks in advance.
I've not seen any Updates for the phone's software on the Vodafone site. A bit poor if you ask me
Have you got Vodafone Live to work yet?
I don't have a link for live on mine but have the STK service in the programmes folder and that's it.
Vodafone Home - do you mean HTC Home???

Neither, the vodafone calendar plugin which is in start> Settings> today> Items
Uncheck the Vodafone Calendar option and check the normal Calendar option.
This gives you the same information and is the same calendar
I have but that's not the point, lol.
As far as I can tell, the only point of that plugin is to put the Vodafone stylised calendar icon (as seen on all their other branded phones) on the today screen instead of the standard WM one. Bizzarre.
Personally, I think the best solution to such wanton waste of resources is just to flash it to the HTC ROM, and ditch all the vodacrap..

XDA IIi clock - get rid of O2

I noticed that the O2 clock on the main screen can take up to a minute to update itself when switching on the PDA but the Windows default at the top of the screen is instantaneous and also far more convenient when using other programs like Word etc.
How can I easily get rid of O2's nonsense?
Thanks
M
