About to buy a Universal .. currently with Orange ..but.. are there any strong reasons for moving to O2? Obviously hardware is the same, but is running the exec in corporate mode going to be significantly different to Orange?
Thanks!
just prefer the black xda exec, and i got a better free minutes deal with O2 (500mins free xnetwork)
In a post somewhere on this forum someone asked a question about the M5000 and installing software that suggested to me that Orange locks their machines to stop you installing unapproved (unsigned?) 3rd-party software.
I may have got the wrong end of the stick, of course :roll: but if it's true then that would be one major reason to steer clear of the M5000 IMHO. :shock: This user's post seemed to imply that Orange have sold other handsets with the same lock applied, so if you're already with Orange then you may know the answer to this question already.
my experience with orange is this....
been with them for a couple years, had a spv e200 then a m1000. i switched to o2 last week because :-
1) had terrible signal at home
2) the m5000 is bloody expensive on orange, paid 90 quid for the exec on o2 business tarrif, 35 quid pm
just my 2 cents
interesting about locking it from 3rd party software .. only ever had standard phones through orange so not come across this before .. currently got an ipaq and want the same freedom to install what I want!
The thing I do like about orange is their customer service .. has always impressed me, and they have always given me good tariffs to keep me with them..
O2 hands down. Orange even puts more crap software and all sort of locking into their phones than O2. I always avoid Vodafone and Orange like plague.
currently with am orange, upgraded from the m1000 to m5000
they give 1000mb data a month for the next tree months and 30 video calls
I paid nothing for my upgrade and am on a £25.00 amonth tariff.
I currently have tomtom 5.1, battary pack pro, pocketweather, tcpmp player
audio recorder, adobe reader, etc
all installed with no problems apart from tomtom 5.1 which involved some twicking.
i have installed all kinds of games for testing and %90 pesent of them worked ok.
i use my pda 80% of the time for Live emails, podcast stuff, downloaded tv episode watching and 20% making calls.
:wink:

What software does Orange put on? I thought it was just their wheat theme.
Has anyone managed to dump the M5000 rom?

I have the M5000 - I really want to upgrade my ROM, or at least do something that will speed up my Universal! It has dog-slow response rendering it useless for 50% of the time.
Surely there can't be any software that prevents ROM upgraded? The whole point of a ROM upgrade is that software is wiped. And unless there's any weird SIM interaction, this sounds impossible.
Anyway, I'm slightly worried about doing it, as it would void Orange warranty, and there's no Orange ROM available to put it back on if it goes wrong!
Anyone with more info on the M5000 - come forward, it would be great to hear from you!
TIA

Disable the orange plugin from the today screen, and also error reporting (if not already)
The orange plugin slows it down, and with it diabled, my m5000 is marvellous!
That sounds good - if Orange only use a plugin, is nice and easy to disable. Sounds better than having to install the O2 EXEC into corporate mode??
Thanks
Hey everyone, i have just got myself a MDA Vario free from T-Mobile on an upgrade and have unlocked it straight away thanks to the Lokiwiz Unlocker-(Thanks Mate)
But now that i have my O2 sim in my phone but cannot go online, without my wifi connection. I often go online when im in the car stuck in traffic and bored out of my wits.
The main question is....
Does anyone who has an O2 Mini S have any of the cab files from the Ext ROM that defines the O2 connection settings? so that i could use the GRPS or Edge that comes with the wizard??
Really appriciate anyone that cn help me on this.
Thanks

or search forum button at top of screen
whilest you can use the cabs search for my posts and in 1 I listed all 3 of the O2 UK contract settings (from the O2 online dept - not 100% sure if they are the same).
Hi there...
Does anybody here knows why in a new version of HTC devices, the GPRS icon comes out upleft of the provider icon and in the I-mate K-jam doesn´t? How do you guys knows you are connected in a real data transmission? I´ve seen from a friend of mine that even getting an icon right beside the provider signal it still get another one for Wifi connection or something!
My K-jam just have only the default icon for connection not the upleft one like HTC devices!
Any idea folks?
Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,
sorry I posted this in another section so you may read this twice...I am desperate for a solution.
Hey guys,
this is a small issue, but one which is irritates me no end.
Last night, I used o2 connect on the handset to upgrade o2 plus from 2.1 01220606 to version 2.3 released 4 jan 2007.
It installed, but said that it couldn't delete version 2.1.
As far as I can tell there isn't any change, hopefully more stable, but I have lost most of my 'today' options on the today screen.
In particular I can't see the 02 plus shortcuts/large icons for easy access and I don't have the large onscreen battery meter which was previously there.
Is there any way to rollback this update?
Is there any way to manually add the today items?
Is there a manual method so that I can just see my battery meter & o2 short cuts!!!!!
Thanks for help
