Where is the O2 Active screen?

Good and bad news from down under - OK, the good ones first:
The O2 XDA II arrived in down under as well And I would say it's the best thing since sliced bread - no, it's even better than that 8) Only problem so far is that It's sometimes a bit difficult to keep it in my sweaty hand while I sit - at 35 degrees in the shade on this lovely Christmas day - in the garden.
I have one problem though. I looked very envious on this O2 Active screen that tekguru refered to in his preview at http://www.tekguru.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=468

but my Australian version doesn't have that and it's not on the CD either Hm, is there any other way I could get this? Or is there any tool to place Internet shortcuts on my Today screen? Right now I use tdLaunch, but I didn't find a way to use it for URLs...

G'Day & Merry Christmas,
Don't know how you can get the O2 Active but here's a suggestion on accomplishing similar ability using TDLaunch. There are two ways actually :
Option 1
Create a button in TDLaunch and use the following details :
Name : Whatever you would like your link to appear as...
File Path : \Windows\iexplore.exe
Command Line : www.yourURLhere.com
Options 2 :
Create a favorites entry to your URL using Pocket Internet Explorer. Lets call it YourFavorite.
Create a button in TDLaunch and use the following details :
Name : Whatever you would like your link to appear as...
File Path : \Windows\Favorites\YourFavorite.url
Either one will give you what you want and open your default connection to Internet and load the URL. I found the first option to be somewhat more reliable. Don't know why.
Hope this helps. Regards.

Good on ya, mate! That does the trick...
Happe New Years as well

Hey guys it would be great if we had some screen shots to go along with this great TDLaunch tip! 8)

Farnold, glad to see it worked for you.
Qman, will post some screen shots later today.
Cheers,
K

Nope, mate. There's nothing in the top left corner for me to click - besiders the START button...
The OZ version is not equipped with the O2 programs...

hi.. cani i get rid of the o2 stuff, like the active screens etc...
ive got skinning software but the o2 stuff always seems to be there, esp if i have to reset so would be good to get rid of it.
thanks for any help..

hi, does anyone know how to remove the o2 software from a xda2.
thanks in advance

It's all about using the SEARCH BUTTON first...............

Skype on Hermes (XDA Trion)

Hi,
I'm trying to get Skype to work on my XDA Trion over a WiFi connection, but when I try and start a connection, even to the test connection, the program quits. Apparently, this is because only "chat" is supported on the Hermes.
So the big question is.... Has anyone got it to work? Is there an older/newer version of Skype that might support voice comms (and maybe even the camera) on a Hermes?
I am currently using version 2.2 of Skype on WM5.
Thanks in advance.

This one's been beaten to death a bit. The latest version of skype doesn't support the tytn, but the older beta does work ok. I think there is a link to the beta in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311938

Well you started a pointless thread... redeem yourself and post the link to help others out then.

Ok....
/me goes hunting for link again....
This is where I got it from -

Here's a mirror on my server (may go down at odd times) -

The cab came from the activesync install directory.
Another link I found is...

Yes and I don't know why cavey.co.uk had to google because I just checked the thread referred to above http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311938&page=2 and the links on posts 16,26,36 and 37 of that thread all work!

I hit the first ones on the Skype site which didn't work then looked on oldversion.com (which doesn't cover the mobile one) and googled it.
Let's put it down to me being impatient....

backup your device before any instalation/reg hack
some apps will replace the softkey function so you can restore with your backup or use sk-tools or restore using Registry Editor location:

works fast, nice

for the new users of the 6900
please read the tips from the link on my first post of this thread
the beginning is in hebrew but you will also find English translations
on my last post I have added new skin of destiator 7 (the new VER) and one more reg hack that will auto disconnect your GPRS
this hack is very useful if you want to update the weather or GPS … and not have the connection running after your "action" ended
if there is no data transfer the GPRS will shut itself at the end of the time frame you have set it to
there is no translation for the last post but the pictures will do the trick
don’t forget to go over all pages of the hebrew thread

WLAN Walkie Talkie

Hi,
Does anyone know if theres program that lets me talk to someone else (in my house using the same wireless network) just by pushing a button (like a walkie talkie).
I want something a bit like the voice recording in windows live messenger - but in the form of a standalone program.
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Uzzy

It would be amazing.....
But I think it couldn't work using Wifi...
It should work through Bluetooth....

yeah..like PTT

try 4talk or somehow like this... i once found it

I tried this out but with no success.
I have 2 HTCP3300's (Artemis) and installed the prog on both. Then i switched wifi on and went into the program. I saw my other device for about 5 seconds - and then it disappeared. The same happened with Bluetooth.
After a while i decided to try and talk within those 5 seconds (after restarting the porgram) but there wasn't any audio from the other artemis - there was only a message that came up on the screen saying something like "Sound quality is high". This message only came up when i was trying to talk to it.
Does anyone know what's wrong? This program would be perfect if i could get it to work properly.
If anyone wants to test it i can send the cab to them.
Thanks in advance, Uzzy

Hey Uzzy
The sound quality setting must be the same on both sides of 4talk. Once the are the same you should be able to hear your transmissions. My only issue with this software is that the signal itself seam to be a bit unstable. Breaks up a lot. MS portrait works quite for me.

SJPhone works over a WIFI network, even adhoc mode! in full duplex (better than a walkie talkie)! Use version 2003SE v.1.60.303c (there is a beta for wm5, but it doesn't work). I've used it, without problems, on both wm6.1 and 6.5 on an HTC Wizard AND an HTC Kaiser. It also has a PC version so you can talk Phone to Phone, PC to PC, or Phone to PC! The answer button doesn't display properly, so you have to configure a hardware button through SJPhone OPTIONS to answer the phone. You also need AudioSwitch to redirect the audio to the internal speaker. And you can also use it as it was intended, a SIP VOIP phone! I've set this up on several old phones for my Grandkids to play with. They LOVE it!

You can use Loudtalks;
Free push-to-talk for PC and Windows Mobile

Bluetooth Gampad BGP 100

Has anyone tried this?
I got out of memory eror when trying to connect, this is obviously not a memeory issue - I also get this error on Fpsece 9.5.
Is this a well known WM6.5 issue or something?
Anyone got a fix

Hey,
i own the BGP100 aswell and i had some problems too. Check the driver ive attached, works very well for me (tested on a Diamond, doesnt work with shipped driver).
I got it from Pocketpc.ch (German language PPC forum). It by the user Black Panther.

Howto

3. the dropdown should show the right thing when its done searching
4. click "connect"
5. click "red stream"
Tell me if it works. My HD2 will arrive on Saturday (express )

I got an 'unexpeected error' grrr

Cheapest place to get one from
Ive found this from china... http://www.sourcinggate.com/bgp100-bluetooth-game-pad-for-pda-computer-p-3465.html
If this does work successfully Im onnit and ordering one asap

That is what I have and is the only one of its type available - I'd hold off until someone else can confirm it works.
I'm still having no luck!

Dont order just yet.
The gamepad does not work on the HD2 until someone figures out a way to make the HD2 connect to the gamepad.
Thanks for the software Ben86, it is loading but you click "Search" it just crashes.

Ive just asked black panther on pocketpc.ch if its possible for him to wirte his program for the Hd2. If so ill post it here
btw ... does the HD2 actually fit the BGP100? my guess ... no xD

Has anyone tried the new version that was posted 11/22?
Link - This version does not crash my phone when I hit search, but do not have a gamepad. Can someone confirm the new version works?

It doesn't work. It says it's for a different bluetooth stack.

Sadly it does not work.
It says it is not made for our bluetotth stack and then it gives a .NET error.

Still hoping there is a solution out there somewhere.
Just saw this custom bluetooth software BTExplorer that is compatible with all kinds of bluetooth devices and uses their custom bluetooth stack. Right now they state WinMo 6.5 as coming soon. It is works with the Gamepad in 6.1, there could be hope it would with 6.5. Anyone willing to try with 6.1?

Can can one find BTExplorer to download or buy?
I could not find it anywhere except on their website, and there is no download link.

I have tried looking for a trial, but unable to locate one. Might try using their contact page to see if they have a trial.
