I use an Exec with an Orange SIM, all works well but I got an answer phone message yesterday, listened to it, deleted it, but the answer phone symbol is still there! :roll: Anybody any ideas how to get rid of it?!! Thanks!
Yeah, leave yourself a message and then delete it from the handset, the symbol should go
Good idea Mori, thanks.....I tried this...it's not gone away! :roll:
would I be correct in assumeing from your messages here, that the universal has a built in answering machine program? If so, can this program be shared with others on this forum?

Hello
I have an O2 XDA2 but I think that O2 are rubbish. I was happier on Orange before. I have unlocked my XDA2 and could change to Orange later this year when my year with O2 finishes. But I have a question -
When you have an answerphone message on Orange, your phone shows a little tape symbol (different from the SMS envelope symbol). How does this work with the XDA2? Does it show the SMS envelope instead?
It seems from these forums that people have got GPRS and MMS working with Orange from O2 machines, so does anyone else know of any problems in switching to Orange from O2?
TIA
Hi Silicon5,
My device isn't an O2 XDAII, but a simfree I-mate, but I've had absolutely no problems with it on Orange.
* Orange GPRS is fine. Dead easy to set up.
* Answerphone does indeed display a "tape" icon (and a balloon saying you have an answerphone message with a "Play" button).
* Other people have posted how to set up WAP/MMS.

Thank you for your reply Phil. Sounds good. I guess I could try a friend's SIM card on my XDA2 and see what happens.

Follow my complete guide for settings.
Works completely perfectly.
Had mine nearly four months now (an O2 XDA2 that's only ever been used with an Orange SIM, that is!).

Thank you shadamehr. Is this guide available on this site? I searched but can't find it. It would be useful when I finally get rid of o2.

Duh - thanks loads for that. It is exactly what i will need. For some reason I was looking through your post history for a PDF document or something. Didn't go back far enough. :roll:
Shademehr do you also get the tape reel symbol when you have an answerphone message waiting? The O2 system of sending one sms (which I often find myself deleting but forgetting to listen the message) is a pain. I used to love the tape reel symbol thing when I was with orange before. Interesting if the XDA2 does come with this in the OS even though it was an o2 machine.

Miss a call, and I get a notification.
If the caller leaves a voicemail, I get the tape icon, as long as its not set to send me a text to notify - not even sure if you can with orange...
So, YUP - I get the tape reel icon, as notification of left voicemail.
BUT, if you get ANOTHER notification of another type, the XDA2 can only show one icon, so you THEN get the standard "notifications" alert icon instead.
Good news. Thanks for your help. I'll be switching to orange just as soon as i can...
Sometimes, my phone crashes/freezes when a new message is received.
I can see the message notification and read the first few lines in the preview. The promlem then is that I need to reset it and then the message can't be found.
Any ideas?
By any chance, have yoy removed the "messaging" icon from the today screen ?? If you have, just put it back.
I am not too sure if this solution would work for the Prophet, but it definitely did for my Universal. I was damn crazy with this problem and about to sell my universal when I read about this in one of the forum threads on this site and everything has been just fine since then.
Hope it works for you and kind regards

I have (or HAD?) the same problem. Now it's working perfectly (for the last few days).
Try to use a standard tone for incoming SMS (I'm using "Alert2").
Bye!

I am experiencing the same problem while using the Orange Today Plugin on my Dopod 818 Pro, disabled it and never had the problem.
Hey guys,
I got a small problem, basically awhile ago, i received an sms, and i read it, but did a soft reset shortly after, anyways, when it booted back up, it still said 1 unread sms on my today screen, and so i went into my inbox, and couldn't find it.
Since then, i've cleaned up my entire inbox, but my today screen still says 1 unread message.
Is there anyway, i can have it back to normal? So it says 0 unread sms's without doing a hard reset?
It might be an undeleted Notification Que. Have you tried Check Notifications by scarybear to clean it up. Here: http://scarybearsoftware.com/ppc_cn_overview.html

Neat lil program, but still saying one unread!!! This thing is really frustrating me.
I remember I had a similar problem but on a different phone. Basically, did you transfer and use your SIM on another phone? If your answer is YES, just plugged the SIM back in to the other phone and delete the unread message. Then return the SIM to your Universal, and you won't have the unread message anymore. This worked for me, I hope it would worked on yours too.

What do you mean exactly? I havn't made a backup of anything really... and i really don't want to hard reset my device...
I know but this little program fixes poom db....
In case you have not tryed the obvious first....do this.
Open up you inbox, then in the top right hand corner there is a drop down "Sort by menu".... make sure that you have "Recieved" selected there.
Hope that does it for ya.

Dear all,
First of all, I do not know the category of my XDA Zinc. But, by looking at the picture, I think it looks like Hermes for me. So, I ask my problem here. I'm very sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.
What my problem is that I suddenly cannot send, read messages (SMS, MMS, e-mail). It seems that the SMS application cannot be played. I try to create new sms from contact application, but it also fails.
What should I do? For your information, I have not installed any application.
Thank you for your help.
sorry dude, its not a hermes, in fact i dont think its even an htc device......you can try to hard reset the device, if you can figure out how to. someone here might be able to help you, but i think you're better off checking the general forums.

You are correct, that phone is made by Asus.
Hi,
I have a t-mobile mda (touch dual) but have it unlocked with an O2 sim in. Every time I send a text or make a call I get this annoying pay and go balance sent to my phone. Is there any way I can stop the notification or atleast prevent it from making a noise? I have tried turning of all sounds but it doesnt work .
Thanks in advance for any help
you could try search for an O2 named .exe file in \Windows\ or a .lnk in \Windows\Start Up\ and delete (or rename to be safe) them.
but you could also Hard-Reset your device (Hold both call/hangup buttons while device on and press reset with stylus).
or even HardSPL your device and install a clean ROM
NOTE: Use PIM Backup before Hard Reset/ROM change, to save all your sms, email, contacts, etc. !!!
hi
thanks for the quick reply. I want to install niki project rom v2 but apparently it still has a few bugs that need to be ironed out. Do you knoow how I can hard reset? Im a bit of a newbie with the nike - just trying it out before I properly switch from my ancient tornado loll.
Also I know this is kind of off topic but is it just me or is the internet slower on the nike? Could it just be my radio rom?
Thanks again!
This is something that happens on all o2 pay as you go sims, its not the phone.
hi,
thanks for the reply
I know its an o2 thing but is there any way to stop the phone from alerting with a noise everytime I get one - I have tried going through all the notification settings and it still happens if I turn all notifications off - so I end up with no alert for calls / texts but an alert for credit! lol
i'd like to know this too, its pretty annoying!
I cant seem to find anyway to change it :s. On my tornado and prophet the message shows up doesnt make any noise but I cant find options for disabled that tone in the nike rom :s
i found this post that gets rid of the noise, ive yet to try it though
First download totalcmd (another file browser)
Create a blank wav file.. call it notify.wav (sometimes notify.wma)
Use totalcmd to replace the one in the windows directory with the one you created..
It works with some versions of wm5 though, so good luck..

doesnt work, tried that a year ago!
My advice would be to move to a different PAYG provider - T-Mob or Three would be my first choices Get a PAC code, take your number elsewhere
Failing that, ask O2 if they can switch it off?
Cheers,
Smiffy.

O2 have that as a feature phone them up and tell them you dont ant notifications
This is def the notify.wav. We can never get rid of the message from o2 as that is a network feature as previously mentioned.
Replace notify.wav with a blank wav sound. This will make it less annoying.
