Does any body have a reg tweak or a different way to activate and desactivate the flash so that I can use it as a flash light. I work as a electrician and it comes in handy sometimes in cellars. Instead of going each time to camera and activating flash I would greatly appreciate if I could make a shortcut on today screen to put on and second shortcut to switch off. Anybody???
I would just like to take this occasion to say thank you to everyone in this forum which has helped me tremendously. I discovered this forum after having bought a Blue Angel 1 and a half years ago. Now before I bought the tyTn I first read everything in this forum and it has helped me a lot! Another point I would like to make: I first hesitated on buying The TyTN bc it has much smaller screen than Blue Angel, but now that I bought it, I find it much better!

Hi guys, great forum.
I must admit to being rather nieve and lost in all the technical stuff! Im a newbie to the XDA world, and so far Im loving it!
I bought my O2 XDA mini s on ebay, at just over 2 months old. Its in perfect condition, but when I try to remove the O2 software, it's not on the list... but its definately still on there!
Should I let my battery run out and reboot it?
Also it wont link with the outlook on my pc (installed from the cd) so it looks like its gonna take me 3 weeks of typing to put all my contacts in to it!
Can someone point me in the right direction for a thread? Or is there a good site for newbies to look at in layman's terms?
Any help would be extremely well recieved!
Cheers
Hi Gary
sorry mate can't help but noticed your post had no answer. Like you I am not a techie. Most of the posters on here seem to do nothing but experiment with their XDA's all day There is a wealh of info and help but sadly only useful to other techies.
There doesn't appear to be anything geared at assisting casual users and non techies that have neither the time or inclination to fiddle with ROM's and software etc .
I reckon that would be a useful sticky for noobs- like how to change/ customise the desktop and install various A/V software and remove o2 software etc
Suggest you get the full manual and wade through that.
I bought my o2 mini s at xmas and haven't made a single call on it yet . Its far too complicated for me and working 12 hour days I've no time to play about with it. :roll:
I'm no techy either but I do know that if you do a hard reset and choose corporate install the O2 stuff is not installed. There's some good advice here too - it's maybe a bit less technical than this site.

Cheers for the replys Dave and Peanut.
I managed to find something useful here... http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=287641
if theres anyone else thats confused about this stuff.
I'm really happy with mine, on the whole it seems pretty simple to use. I hate that it doesnt close programmes when you click the x though.
Im gonna have a little play, but I'll need to get my mms and gprs info from orange first if i install the corporate profile.
I find that if the phone is on for more than 5 mins ifI press the green call button it doesnt bring up the phone screen, even with the normal power setting! I'm hoping this new profile will speed the bad boy up a bit too!
WiFi is a godsend on a mobile! Yey!
Without going through all the palava of flashing a new Rom the easiest way of really removing the O2 crud is to do a Hard Reset of the device (hold the Com Manager and Voice Command buttons the poke the little reset hole on the right hand side of the unit.
When you get the option select corporate installation option and then if I remember correctly you get a count down, press the reset button (without the other two buttons) again briefly to do a soft reset this should then start Windows in its regular non O2 sullied form.
Hope this helped.
hello guys., still no way to use the wizard as flashlight? tnx in advance, -storm
Is this what you want?
http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases:VJCandela
Be careful with it though. I've heard people have ruined the camera flash by over using this. Vijay555 has even modified the page to say it will damage your flash led...
Personally I just set my screen to not go off for 2 minutes, and that works as a really bright flashlight Sure, uses more power, but I"M not using it for long periods of time usually.
thanks but this isn't working for the wizard
i know vj was at working about this some months ago but i didn't receive any news about it.....so i'm guessing still no way to use our lovely wizard as torch

It always amazes me what kind of needs people have! The WIZ makes a quite expensive flashlight. Every key chain pocket flash light has better light and is more handy to use!

I am about to get a p3600i in a few days.. any warnings or anything i need to know about this phone. i flashed my himalaya into non existance many years ago and my tornado is running wm6 now and i love xda-dev but from what im reading in the forums, no one knows jack about this device yet.... can i network unlock it? supercid??? etc etc. tried following posts but too much confusion with having p3600 and 3600i in the same froum so i cant always make sense of whats being posted.
Any help appreciated!
EDIT REASON: GOT THE DEVICE!!
Well thanks for the heaps of input guys
only irritating thing i found with this device (p3600i) so far is the stylus being right next to the camera button so every time i go for the stylus i start camera. definate annoyance!
Hello to ya all,greetings and respect
I have a ORANGE SPV M5000 for some 9 months now or so,i bought it new decoded from some other network,and i'm very very happy and satisfied with it and all the software that comes on regular basis for it
But when i bought it one thing i didn't realise at all,i saw it later home but then it was too late. For refund or anything ofc. I got used to it for all this time but anyway i would like to know what it is,would be nice if it's fixable,but i doubt that The thing is : on the screen,there is this red vertical line from top to bottom,in the left half of the screen.it's mostly visible on black backgrounds,not so much on other colors. does anyone maybe know,is the screen ****ed up,or maybe a software mess while decoding the phone ? And if so,is it in any way fixable. At least i would be at peace,knowing why that is. On it it's the original wm5,i never had guts to try upgrade to wm 6. Cuz my fiancee lives in anither country still and i use IM+ over gprs almost 24/7 to be in touch,so i can't risk to lose that lifesaving option.
Thank you all in advance !!

not sure but i guess its a problem with the screen, you should check the cables that connect the screen to the mb, maybe that fixes the problem...

Thank you for your very very fast reply. As soon as i saw it,i opened my PPC carefully and checked there the connector stuff,but with no changes,so at least i know it is not that. Thank you very much again for your quick help
First time opening,but very easy to open the PPC,not tricky at all like it was on my old SE P800,almost breaking it while opening
So i guess,maybe the screen is defected,but it was new and like that from the first day,so maybe the only thing possible is flashing the UNI ? Any ideas still from anyone ?

sorry, never had the problem, but i don't know what else could cause such a fault...
And still
And still after so much time,i have the red line
Nothing changed,only that in the meantime i flashed my UNI,which til posting this the first time i didn't do. I flashed the UNI i think 50 times since then
But still i am curious,if maybe anyone has an idea what that can be and is it fixable.
Hi,
I m pretty new the UMPC unlike other on this site, So I thought it good idea to get some help on 3 basic problems I encounter in my Shift X9501.
1. The bluetooth -no matter what it wont work, every time I try to turn it on from settings it gives me the same irritating error message " There is no Bluetooth hardware installed on this device. I will really appreciate any help regarding that.
2. The SnapView size on WM6 is smaller than the screen size and it really looks silly, if there is any way to have a full-screen SnapView will really appreciate help on that as well.
3. Attach/detach to vista -This is something really school boys basics but every time I attach to vista -hear the little tone and go back to vista open Mobile Device - it says not connected, cant install anything
As I said, I bought this thing a few days ago and havent got my hands around the features so if someone would like to help please explain in laymen terms
Sorry for you.
I paid 1400 euro for mine.
Could have had mine it for 250.
It is some of the biggest mistakes I made in my life
Did you read the manual or specs before buyin

Read the manual, specs. Theré isn't any bluetooth hardware available to Windows mobile.
2. The SnapView size on WM6 is smaller than the screen size and it really looks silly, if there is any way to have a full-screen SnapView will really appreciate help on that as well.
Too bad to discover that after your purchase.
3. Attach/detach to vista -This is something really school boys basics but every time I attach to vista -hear the little tone and go back to vista open Mobile Device - it says not connected, cant install anything
Have some patience, it takes 20 seconds for WMDC to fire up...
Too bad your first posting had to be you being unhappy about the shift.
As I said, I bought this thing a few days ago and havent got my hands around the features so if someone would like to help please explain in laymen terms
So sorry that u r dissapointed with your shift ! But look at the bright side , i think if u bought it now it is quite cheap as compare to 1.1/2 years ago ( please don't compare to netbooks - they r different class altogether ) , it has very good touch screen plus speaker gsm phone calls now , xp works speedily in shift , u need extra batteries or back ups , it is not perfect but hey ! what gadget device is so called perfect in every way ? sometimes u have to sacrifice something and make do with the ones u have , being able to get free advice and roms & etc ... from xda is already in a very favourable position , whatever more u ask for further - u may get in sooner or later or none ! so please enjoy yr shift - cheers
is there any htc shift second to sell?
