Hi,
I am new to the XDA Universal, and my technical knowledge is quite limited. Apologies if this has been posted before. My search came up inconclusive.
I use my XDA for browsing the internet using IE and Opera Mini, it used to work fine, but recently I cannot use any website that requires me to type something in fields, i.e. sign into Gmail through IE or Opera Mini. When I click the box to put in the username, the keyboard/keypad comes up but the keystrokes do not register in the fields and the XDA starts to hang and then I cannot go to any other website, every other software slows down and I have to press the reset button.
Can anyone help me on this please? As my XDA is currently 75% useless to me right now.
P.s. I am WM6 OS 5.2.318 (Build 15341.0.0.0)
Thanks in advance!
hard reset
hi there,
you might want to try a hard reset just to make sure its a software not a hardware problem. if problem still insists try flashing the official ROM. If the problem is still there, than you might want to consider to repair or buy a new devices since it is a harware problem

Ciao a tutti!
Strange problem this. I've hard reset my XDA II a load of times 'cos my PC is kinda allergic to it sometimes. That's life I suppose!
Normally though after a hard reset the O2 installer kicks in and installs their own programs etc.
However last week it just hard reset - no O2 stuff!
Tried a couple more times but nothing.
Gone too is my MMS program, the PDF readers, and MSN Messenger won't open even though there's an icon. (I tried to download MSN from microsoft's website but it won't transfer in Activesync to install)
The Device information says ROM 1.03.00 USA, ROM date 09/24/03, Radio 1.05.12, Protocol 1337.12. Does that sound OK to you experts?
Anyway, I took a deep breath and steeled myself to 'cook a ROM' at yorch.net but the exe wouldn't install saying something like that it couldn't access a remote program on the device - I forget the actual wording now unfortunately. The SD flashing and bootloaders etc is all greek to me even though I read the helpful files on this site. Decided not to risk banjaxing the whole thing!
So at the moment I have a working XDA II but it is a shadow of its former glory. I tried O2 website for the new ROM but no sign yet. (Does anyone know when that's due?)
Anyway, if anyone can spare the time to advise I'd appreciate it!
Oh, and a tip-top St Patrick's Day to you all tomorrow!
Yup, I'm Irish - despite the address!
Grazie tantissimo

I knew you were Irish once you said "Banjaxed", I think your problem is with the extended rom, though how you managed to lose it is weird, it usually has to be unlocked to enable deletion or addition of files. If you browse the extended rom you should have all the files that are used on auto configuration start up. Take a look and see what files are present if any. You may need to use a program to make the files visible first though. Take a look around on the forum and search for extended rom.
Extended ROM empty!
Hey - Thanks for that my friend!
I looked up extended ROM on the forum as you suggested and downloaded that little file to see my Extended Rom.
Yep, it's empty - nothin' there at all!
I'm guessing I wiped it while tentatively trying to upgrade the ROM.
Does anyone have such a thing as the files I need to put there to make everything work again? I just noticed the camera is kaput too!
Any help would be appreciated if any of you guys have the time.
Best regards
Conor
Yorch.net doesn't have XDA II ROMs, only for the original XDA. So they won't (or at least "shouldn't") install on the XDA II.
There you go... so that's what happened
Didn't know all that Yorch stuff was just for XDA I !!!
Fekkit!
Now my darling XDAII is WORSE than an XDA I 'cos not even MSN works - tried upgrading but no use!
My Extended ROM is completely nude
no camera, MMS, PDF readers etc - it's stone-age...
Can anyone advise me on my options?
Would the new O2 upgrade help when it emerges? Any news on that anyone?
Down and Out in the Eternal City...

If you follow this link, look for applecoms post, you can download the entire extended rom then copy it to your extended rom space.

Cruisin-thru , you de man!
Hey - you're a genius and a gentleman! Worked a dream!
Sincere thanks!
got a o2 XDA Mini s today,i set up everything that had to be set up then i got this message that poped up "O2 Active Interface has been Installed in basic mode and therefore the interface wont run.Install the programe again using the Personal option in order to have the fully functional interface"
also when i click on o2 active i get the same message what i dont get is wheres the personal option :? kinda new to these things could anyone help with this? thanks
Hard reset, leave it to do its own thing - will install with the full O2 crap on it, play for a couple of days, hard reset and change back to basic mode!
thanks for the fast reply works all good now
how far through the post did you get? running with all the O2 stuff on now?
If so after a few days search the forums for "remove the O2 rubbish" and similar posts!
Hi guys, really informative website, been using it for a long while, but so far never needed to make a post. here is my problem. I am currently using o2 xda exec's for my business, but need to lock down some of the pda's functions and controls. I am currently using mobicontrol (can anyone else recommend a better "lockdown" program), it works sufficiently well but there are a couple of security loops i've noticed. On the keyboard the bindings for the outlook, i.e and wireless manager are still active. I've had a little look around the registry settings to see if i can disable the key mappings but so far i havent had any luck. I was wondering if it would be possible to disable these buttons, seeing as these are the only way to circumvent the mobicontrol lock down program.
your help would be much appreciated,
thanks,
Nick
hey guys, don not know, whether the problem may cause on other pages... but there is an issue with the website studivz.net.
I wrote more than three times to the sony ericsson-support...but they answered me to make a hard-reset and use opera mobile instead of internet explorer.
I thought they're just kidding me...because I wrote them that there are few people having the same problem USING OPERA on studivz.net...
ohere you may see the problem with a black col that becomes bigger and bigger each time I press any link on the page...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cKCJ25a6zE
perhaps anybodyy of you know how to work around...
got the same problem on meinvz and other pages aswell.
just keep in mind ... the opera version u are using is still BETA. it has plenty of bugs (hardcoded text block formatting f.e.)
well ... we'll see what future versions and browser bring here.
I'm trying to contact opera...but there seems to be no support-mailaddress available?!
I sent the link to the German Sony Ericsson-support as well...hope they'll answer seriously...
and I noticet the support-team of studiVZ.

Does it need flash or anything? I can't see anything using the dev tools
Have you tried netfront browser?
the 3.5 "concept version" is one of my favourites, not to everyones taste but might be worth a try.
http://www.access-company.com/products/mobile_solutions/netfrontmobile/browser/35_wm_tp.html
Obviously leaving a message on the opera forums would be a good thing as well.
I found a support-mail-contactmailer on the webpage of opera and informed them about this issue. sent the link to this video as well.
perhaps I'll give the netFront a try...but I'd more like to use the opera...
the page doesn't use flash...but ajax. for opening message-windows (in the video you may see, it doesn't work with opera...)
well, I installed the new official rom and this issue has gone.
works find now. but ajax-messages won't open at all.
is there anything I can do?
and I hate that you have to zoom in before you are able to click a link/input-field in the new build of opera.
hope they make this "feature" checkable per box in the settings.
or anybody may find out, what to change in the registry.
another fine thing would be a tutorial that describes how to set opera opening tabs in the background instead of making new tabs active.
especially on ebay this is bugging me.
and at last I think it would be great to set the identity of opera as desktop-browser. I hate google-, gmx-, or especially ebay-mobile... if I could choose the identity of opera all would be fine
Hi Folks,
1st thread on here.
Just got myself a spank new Touch Pro2. First thing i did before i started installing my apps was to check HTC website for Updates. Sure enough they had a new ROM version and WM6.5 upgrade. Now i have it working exactly how i want except for LogMeIn. I have used LogMeIN on my HP Ipaq for ages but cant get it sorted out on my HTC. Is it an issue with WM6.5 i wonders?
Basically it looks like it wont work with Opera at all. In Internet Explorer I can download and install the RActrlCE.cab file no prob. Looks good, can login to my list of computers, can even get as far as being connected to the required PC but when i click the Remote Control icon all i get is a white screen.
Any suggestions???
Have the same problem would really appreciate any help... Pls.
wm6.5 comes with the newer version of PIE (pocket internet explorer) which is not compatible with the plugin logmein uses for remote desktop. You can try and do a search to the wm6/6.1 PIE cab file. Hope that helps, cuz I was in the same boat.
LogmeIn works on my 6.5-official ROM in IE.

Not in mine!, you can install IE TOGGLE, it let's you use PocketIE (the old version of IE), with that Logmein works
log me in
it took me ages to work this out... i have to use the old version of explorer (downloaded from here somewhere, although the ie switcher might work also) and i need to use 'kfortp' which lets me type in logmein when i am connected, before i could connect but not type anything. crazy
LogMeIn's response
I raised a ticket with LogMeIn about this and got this highly useful reply 2 days later.
"We have discovered an issue when connecting to a LogMeIn computer using a mobile device running Windows Mobile 6.1.4 / 6.5 and IE6 Mobile. Currently, it is NOT possible to connect with these devices due to incompatibility with the plugin.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

If anyone is reading this don't install kfortouchpro. Which i read on another forum was required to get this to work. I don't see what the need for it is. Plus it froze my Touch Pro2 up on the first reboot after install. Luckily i was able to connect to my phone with activesync and uninstall the app to stop my phone from freezing up . Hope this helps someone. As far as Logmein working just use the two files below. Install XDA first, reboot, install IEtoggle, open IEtoggle, switch IE to PIE, start up IE and sign into logmein. This worked for me. Hope it helps someone. Sorry if this is already on this forum somewhere else.

I tried this and it works but now I cannot get IEtoggle to switch me back to IE6. I tried restarting and then selecting IEtoggle, thinking PIE was somehow still running, but even after this I am still stuck in PIE.
EDIT: Since this original post on 4/18 I have had to do a hard reset, since my email and SMS windows for individual messages (compose, read) were not popping up. I have no idea if it is related to using IEtoggle, but I am not going to use this again on my TouchPro2 6.5 just to be safe.
after some trial and error
Here goes, first off i apologize horizons1. I have the same phone and WM version as you. Haven't experienced any of these problems. All i can say is make sure you install XDA WM 6.1 PIE first, then reboot, then install IEtoggle might of been your problem. After further testing i have found that Kfortouchpro is necessary to log into windows from your log in screen or type any text once in windows. When opening kfortouchpro it lets you switch to M$ IME which is required for your keyboard to work. Now after testing this for a bit, if you don't switch it back to eT9/multiplay in the program before you reboot it will not display your slider bar to unlock your phone on boot up. Only way to fix is with activesync. Have tested this 3 times in different configs. I wish i could just use remote desktop thats built into WM. But i am currently connected behind two routers one being bridged to the other. Have tried many times to get this to work with no luck. So if anyone can help me with that, it would be much appreciated. Too bad logmein won't just patch this problem. Their program works great after jumping through all these hoops to get to your desktop.

Mark me down for one who appreciates this thread. After days of research and knowing the files I needed to download but am hesitant to sign up for new forums/stuff in general, you folks at xda developers got me. Looking forward to figuring out future mobile issues!
