New O2 Xda II mini ROM - GPRS disconnect button has gone

Hi,
I've just upgraded my O2 Xda II mini to the latest ROM (1.11) and found a problem.
Previously, I could end a GPRS session by tapping on the icon at the top and then clicking on the "Disconnect" button in the dialog bubble.
On the latest ROM, the "Disconnect" button has gone from the dialog bubble. It's simply not there any more.
I called the O2 Helpdesk and they have not had any other reports of this, and simply told me to hold the red "end call" button. While this works, it also backs me out of application I have open and active, which is a nuisance.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Yes you are right my MDA Compact came with the latest rom from factory and I was wondering why there is no disconnect button...? now I can see that it's common problem in 1.11 made by some mistake or something.

I guess they remove it because of the "GPRS connection problem" as I used to have problem on GPRS re-connection (after disconnected), however, after upgrade to 1.11, the problem no longer exist !

Thanks for your responses, Shamus and waiting4u.
I posted a message on the Mtek forum in Australia and one user there has the latest ROM and does not have this problem. Maybe it only happens to upgraded minis as opposed to new ones that came with 1.11?
Would really like this back. O2 support was no help and didn't even know it was a problem.

But this is obvious stupidy always on GPRS connection drains battery as a charm, I omitted the problem by installing SPB Gprs Monitor but disconnect shoud be implemented in system. M$ stupidy is enormous :evil:
PeterW mine MDA came with 1.11 it wasn't upgraded!!!

Hi Shamus,
In that case, it must be a stupid Microsoft oversight. I checked my colleague's Xda mini this morning - he is still running 1.03 ROM, and he does have the disconnect button. Very frustrating. :evil:

this little fine proggy finally makes me happy

Thanks Shamus! Will give it a try.

Yes, it works well and gives me back the Disconnect button. Thanks again.

No problem

Excel Flickering Issue

Hi,
I have a KJAM (XDA HW, IMATE ROM).
Whenever I am using Excel, or editing data in Contacts, every so often (perhaps every 10 seconds), the screen flickers, and the data entered is lost. This means if I am in a cell, entering 12345, and I haven't gone to the next cell, when the flicker comes, the data is gone, and the cursor is back in the beginning in the cell. THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING.
Please, can someone help me out here?
BTW - I have Program Bar, Journal Bar, and Battery Pro Bar running.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, please tell us what make of wizard you are using an what rom, so the forum can better help you, thanks

Hi,
I have an XDA Mini, ROM is IMATE 2.16.9.1 WWE.
TIA

Can you recall if it happened with the O2 rom? Not heard of this problem before, could only suggest trying the new o2 rom without the extra o2 stuff or qtek rom.

Fixed
Hi,
I finally found out (by trial and error), that it was the AEKMap program I was using (to setup the QWERTZ to work with an English ROM). Using ver. 1.1.1 I had the flickering issue, but when I upgraded to ver. 1.1.3, it all works fine.
I am using the IMATE ROM as I haven't heard anything good about the latest O2 ROM yet.

Software from o2 oder Vodafone to MDA Vario

Hello,
that´s my first post in this board. I read them often, so i decided to register me, because i´ve got a problem with my MDA Vario.
In the last time (my sister have the same problem), my MDA is very unstable. When i write a sms, on the display are only stripes, like a barcode. This problems contains not only when i´m writing a sms, still if i want to make a phone call, the problem is there.
I want to use now the Original HTC software, O2, or Vodafone Software for my MDA.
But when i´m going to install this file (i´ve downloaded it from your ftp-server), my pc gives me message: "Error, you can not update....".
It would be very nice, if someone could help me.
Thans in advance.
P.S.: Sorry for some bad words in english, i´m not a native speaker

SPB GPRS Data Monitor on Vario 2

I've recently discovered that T-mobile do in fact provide the SPB GPRS Data Monitor Tools for their Vario 2 device. It comes on the application CD and you have to install it yourself.
Unfortunately, my own attempts at this have been unsuccessful. I keep getting a message telling me I need to upgrade my ROM. Rather strange considering no other official ROM has been released for this model yet.
Anyway, I've been fighting with it for a number of days and eventually contacted T-mobile customer service. I'm though to the Technical Escalations team who are looking into it. However, they can't replicate the issue.
What I'd like to know is has anyone else been successful at installing this application on their Vario 2?
ROM 1.21.110.3

I've got it installed on my mda vario II with the same rom as you and had no issues.

Hi. Thanks - did you install it yourself or did it come pre-installed?
Anyone else?

i had no problems with that at all .. did you upgrade your activesync before connecting your device to a pc ?

installed from cd - all here

Thanks everyone. Hmm.. good question. Knowing how flaky ActiveSync can be, I did upgrade it straight away. I'm running the latest 4.2. What about you guys?

Well.. I thought I'd have a crack at trying Activesync 4.5
That turns out to perhaps not being the wisest move. As is typical of wonderful Microsoft I've been having all sorts of games with the it. I ended up having to hard reset my Vario 2 again because it was having trouble synching.
Anyway, got it working finally and the result? Even better.. now when I attempt to run the installer it doesn't even show me the GPRS monitor as an optional install! Hah.. gets better and better..
Maybe this only works on ealier versions of Activesync - prior to 4.2? I'm going to have another crack over the weekend on my home PC. I might also roll back Activesync to 3.7 to see if that works any better.

HAHA!! Ok!! Further to above I thought what the heck, fired up the installer again and chose to 'repair' rather than 'modify' to install a new application. Lo and behold it went ahead and attempted to install the GPRS monitor. Result - Success! I now have this working. Go figure!
