35 ppl looked but no one can help

Not sure if there would be a gprs symbol or some such that would tell you, you were connected by 02 but for me the simplest answer would be to surf a page and then turn off your modem. Press a link on the page and if it comes up with a page not found, you know you were using your adsl. You could do pretty much the same by turning off your bluetooth device and see if the page links work.
Just as a note, why didnt you buy a wifi dongle or pci card which will give you far quicker browsing than through bluetooth ?

I'd think it'd be pretty easy to notice, either the pages come in in a thick slow syruppy way, or they zip in quick...
But otherwise, there's an icon in the top bar that shows how you're connected... just tap it and it'll say.

cheers for the reply . the wifi pci card how much a diff will it be ... also the bluetooth usb adapter i bought sayes it can work up to 300meters away from the pc ... also on another note its the xda mini s i have on a o2 deal got it 2 weeks ago . and i can notice that when i pop the keyboard out and it when i got it new it was tight to pop in and out now its getting loose . i cant see it lasting very long before it startes just falling out and for the pen holder it wont be long before they all get lost and we have to get new ones . i think the ppl who made this phone could of done a bit better on build quality . also the bit of film that covers the infa red bit on the side of the phone has came of also and the phone is plastic not a good sign for me why not a steel casing and housing

It should be a vast speed increase going over to wifi and a pci wifi card should only set you back about £20 if that.
Ive just got an o2 deal. £99 for the phone and £19 per month for 12 months. Couldnt beat it anywhere without going to T Mobile ( yeuch ) and going for one of these stupid offers where you have to send vouchers off for your money back.
No thanks !

thanks for the reply mate . i took the xda2 mini s back to the o2 shop today after having it for 2 weeks. i told the guy in the shop the phone was slow and kept crashing and that it was not what i was after as i could not rely on it as i need it for work and other stuff . so he changed it . i walked out the shop with a o2 xda2i and a 256 meg card for free . i caused a right fuss in the shop stating that i lost all my contacts and also other info that was in the mini ... to tell the truth the xda2 mini s need more work done to it to make it a good phone and also a fast pda . the mini just never cut the mustard for me . to tell the truth my old p900 was faster than the mini by far . the p900 never once crashed on me like the mini did . i was not totaly happy wth it the day i bought the mini . dont get me wrong its a nice looking bit of kit but thats all it is and it wont be long before the keypad gets loose and keeps falling out . my one was getting loose after 2 weeks of playing about with it
just my 0.02 pence worth

Its like anything on the net you will read good and bad about it. I have read plenty of bad reports about the p900i as I was once considering it as a phone .
As many as are unhappy there are plenty who are happy.
At the end of the day it depends what you expect from a device. I remember plenty of crashes and soft resets from my ipaq 2215 so hopefully im immune to them by now.
Hope im happy with mine

Newbie Here!

Hi Everybody!
I'm a newbie here and just wanted to say Hi!
Hopefully , I will get my MDA Vario tomorrow, it is locked to T Mobile (UK) and I hope to unlock it for my o2 SIM.
Currently I have a Nokia 3230.
What do you use your MDA Vario for and what are your dislikes about this model of PDA/phone?
{>

Hi!
Hello and welcome, you will certainly enjoy using your new vario and this site will certainly help you make the most of it.
I travel ALOT with work so I use it to keep in touch with family / friends by using the WLAN at airports and using Agile Messenger to connect to MSN / ICQ and Yahoo.
I also use the camera to take snaps of any interesting places I see on on my travels so I can then send them to my wife and kids back home.
I purchased a 1gb mini sd on ebay for around 12 pounds so that I can use TomTom and the various maps that are available. Oh, and also I use it as a phone! Sometimes you forget how many things this phone is capable of, but the the phone is certainly one of its strong points. As it is quad band I can use it in Europe, Asia and America so I dont need to keep changing handsets everytime I go away on business.
Oh, and for when my flight is delayed, there is always Windows Media player for your favourite mp3's or audiobooks, and of course the excellent games that are also available.
You will not be dissapointed!! Enjoy!

Hi Nmonger and thanks for your reply!
I've puchased a 1gb mini sd card too.
My current phone has tomtom on it, so I've copied the files onto my PC and hope that I can transfer them to my PDA when it arrives.
I read an article on here which says you can flash the ROM, do I need to do this on mine?
PS. I'd love to see some of your photography and I am a photographer!

You old nokia is a symbian phone. I doubt the same tomtom will work on your new Wizard.

i received my xda mini on monday, so far ive surfed the net, sent emails, sms messages, taken photos, played music and played around with MSWord - connected it to my wireless network, active synced loads of games and apps onto it - ive just bought a 2gig minisd card and bluetooth headset for around £50 from moby (based on a recomendation frmo here)

Thank you for all your replies!
Glad to hear that your getting the most from your PDA/phone.
I wish I knew where to get the cards from, I got a 1 gig from ebay, cost £22 inc delivery.
I'll give the tomtom a try as it doesn't look like it is the original tomtom card (if you know what I mean :wink: )
So, do I need to flash my ROM or as a newbiw, won't I notice any difference? Not that I'm sure why I should "flash my Rom", but it sounds good LOL
I use my Nokia phone for my business and the satnav is good, but I find it very slow with the Symbian software.
Thanks again for ALL you replies
Cheers,
Scutter

I want to upgrade too and they told me it wipes it. Theres no way I'm going through the hassle of losing all my data and settings. Took me ages to get it how I like it!

W..W...We...Welcome Stutter ,
You're damn right it just sounds cool to Flash your Rom, but what's way cooler is the difference you notice in speed and stuff like that with new Roms instead of (most) of the Stock Roms.
Don't hastitate with questions, everyone here is at your service

Molski

Thanks again for the replies!
Your making me feel very welcome!

I'm gonna tell everybody that I'm gonna "Flash my ROM" and get the t-shirt too!

Cheers Everyone

Mark

Hi Everybody!!!
I just got mine today.
I have managed to unlock the sim, but can't seem to "flash my ROM"
I get an error message stating that it is not been able to upgrade the "RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship"
Am I doing something wrong?
Also does anybody know how to get the o2 pay as you go MMS and GRPS settings?
Cheers,

NEW O2 EXEC-WHAT WOULD U DO?

hi all,
i have just bought a new O2 Exec.. I was wondering what software/tweaks you guys recommend.
Regards,
frz

i also just have my dopod 900, similar to o2 exec and i still dont know what to install. I saw something about AKU2 or AKU3 on the forum but dont know where to download, can someone please advice/help us as my device was sometimes cannot received data signal while connecting to internet.
I just download TCPMP player to the device and it was a great staff to play with and I will not use the WMP for movie/tv.

Guys, I've just bought myself a new suit.
Would you like to come over and try it on for me?
Come on - a little work on your side will be necessary, and searching is the best way to show that you've tried.
Have a read through this thread for guidelines on using the board:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4534
And then have a look here for a starter:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32698&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
AKU stuff - get started slowly before you start modifying the OS too much, as a lot of the stuff on the board can make your system unstable if used incorrectly. Configure your basics, get yourself some good backup software, and then check out the wiki and the ftp.
Most of the newer roms will have some AKU support already in, I think.

Thanks a lot bro Vijay555. Will try to surf now and get more info.

Danlee....
Just out of curiosity....how much is internet connectivity in M'sia?
I'm planning on coming home during the CNY and would like to use the service if it's not too expensive.
Would you mind posting the cost of the internet connection and who the provider is?
Will it be available prepaid?
Thanks.
Fellow M'sian in US.

To vijay555,
Thanks a lot but i cant do downdoading now cause i am on GPRS connection now. But i will visit your site when i got back home.
To Moden man,
The cost for GPRS connection will be 1 cent for 1kb. You can only use 3G in KL area. You can access by using DiGi, Celcom and Maxis as your service provider.
