Hi,

I have an O2 branded Stellar ie a Kaiser. Was working fine on O2 for internet, and just changed to Vodaphone (in the UK). Despite putting in the recommended settings of wap.vodaphone.co.uk username web/ password web into a new modem connection it won't go online. Any ideas from anyone who has done this?

Vodaphone won't help me - told me to called HTC!

cheers

Have you tried using HTC Connection Setup to reconfigure your connections?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] robathome:
HI - well I've been into Settings/Connections/Connections/Add a new modem connection and put in all the details I found here:

http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html

and it won't connect properly when I try to go online.

Or do you mean somewhere else?

thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Digital Outcast:
If you go to Start, Settings, Connections, do you see an item called Connection Setup?

If not, try download and installing this cab on your phone. Once you install it, soft-reset and then go back to the same place mentioned above. Run Connection Setup and select your location and operator. It should configure your connections for you and restart your device (or prompt you to do it yourself).

Thanks this and another thread from Basti have got me up and running - voda needs a proxy apparantly...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
The connection wizard will handle both networks

As someone who has used both Vodafone and (now) O2 in the UK on an HTC branded Kaiser, I've always found the connection wizard in the default HTC ROM to take care of things fully and automatically. Have you thought about putting an HTC official ROM on it? The wiki and numerous threads here at xda explain how it's done. I could never get the Vodafone Live Website to work with my standard TyTN II BTW so don't be surprised if it definitely doesn't work with an O2 version of the same phone;)

How do I see from which number a Text Message (SMS) was send?

Here is the problem: A friend of mine wend abroad and is using a different mobile phone number. I saved the new number in the contact file under "Home2 phone". Now, if I recieve a text message I actually dont see were it came from, do I?

(Even after clicking on the Message it opens the contact but shows the mobile phone number, not the one it was send from.)

Thanks for anwser
[S740, S743 General] Torque77:
When receiving the message, all you can see is the name of the sender.

When you click on the contact, it shows you only the mobile phone number because, theoretically you can receive sms messages only from mobile phone numbers. A stationary phone number cannot be used to send sms ;)
[S740, S743 General] lelopet:
Torque77: Wrong. You CAN either send and receive SMS from fixed lines in most EU countries. And Rose can handle it without any problems.

Gipo: Just hit Enter when the received message is selected. Contact card will open with proper sender's phone number highlighted. BTW in threaded messages is enough if you just simply hit "Reply" - it will be sent automatically to correct number. (In fact, every number - even different number of the same contact - creates a new thread).

EDIT: OOPS, you're right. It just shows the card without highlighting the number (having a look I saw a last call, not the message). Then only way is direct reply in the thread then. Nevertheless, it's simple and reliable.
[S740, S743 General] Torque77:
Sorry then. Guess Moldova is waaaay behind and this chapter.
[S740, S743 General] lelopet:
No problem... Just an reminder. Nevertheless, you can't be sure, if it is a phone able to receive it (again - some operators forwards SMS as a voice message then).

At least at the moment you already know, that Rose can send SMS on ANY phone number stored with contact - if you have somebody e.g. with more mobile phones.

Yes, if you just choose a contact in the list and select "SMS" by right-left arrows, the mobile number is used. But if you hit Enter in Addresse field in empty SMS form, select an user, Rose will show you all available phone numbers for the contact and is able to send the message at any of them.

Hi All, I am new when it comes to windows mobile apps and I was wondering if anyone could help.

I have an application on my mobile which almost does everything I want. There are a few extra features I would like it to do and would like to have ago at creating them myself. Is there away that you can unpack a windows mobile app (like the exe file) to visual studio for editing or is this not possible?

Many Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] mysterd:
Windows Mobile EXEs are like any other windows executable files... These are binary compiled programs that you cannot just "edit" in a text editor.

If the program you want to modify is Open Source and if the software author allows to do so, then you'll have to modify the source, recompile the software and test it.

Basically, it's regular programming...
[General Questions and Answers] cronas:
ok thanks for the help.
[General Questions and Answers] Rudegar:
if it's .net then you can try giving reflector a go it can make .net exe's to c# code
[General Questions and Answers] mysterd:
Yup, but what you'll get won't always be understandable... If the software author obfuscated the code for example..

I am not much of traveler, but i take airplanes once every 2-3 months in the last year, and i was always forbidden to use my mobile even in flight mode... are the crew members mistaken and tell me no for no reason, or are there some regulations?

i want to be able to turn on my mobile to listen to music or see a movie on the small screen, i have no intention to call anybody :)

the problem is that i ask for permission to be on the correct side, while others leave their mobile on all the way even during take-off and landing, i know this because i hear some mobiles ringing (welcome sms for network change) moments before touch down !!!

I am in Europe, maybe regulations are a bit different than USA....
[Off-topic] mysterd:
Hi.

One thing that I know is that on French airlines, all electronic devices are forbidden during take off and landing. Even notebooks which have no communication systems.

But after taking off, there's no problem whatsoever...

That's just out of my own experience though..
[Off-topic] orb3000:
That is realy strange

I travel a lot to USA, to Europe and sometimes to Asia ans never had that problem. ONly in take off and landing you can´t use it, but the rest of the flight no problem.Imagine those 20 hr long flights!!

p.s. I always try to avoid any USA airline!, they charge you even a small candy and service is not good...
[Off-topic] Rudegar:
diff airlines diff rules

and if you ask it's a judgement call on the flight attendants
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
maybe its because they cant be arsed telling you that you can use your fone in fight only?
[Off-topic] denco7:
There is a show in the U.S. on Discovery channel called Mythbusters, where they test and either prove or dispel popular myths and misconceptions.

They arranged with a airline to test a variety of cell phones and mobile devices on a variety of different bands, to see if they would interfere with the planes electronics or comm system. Both during flight and during takeoff and landings ( where most airlines say it is most dangerous ).

In every situation they try tried, with every mobile device they tried, they could not get the mobile devices to interrupt or interfere with the , flight, nav, or comm controls. They came to the conclusion that this was just a perpetuated myth and that the airlines just did not want to change their baseless policies.
[Off-topic] + Que PPC:
Those guys are so fun!!!

Well it seems that just to be sure or safe... turn off your phone in takes off and landing, we never know if the airplane is screwed or is a new one in communications... so... i think during the flight dont affect cause the band will ask for a range that the altitude can reach... so say to them **** off idiots! is in flght mode...! well dont said that... you may be in troubles :p :o

jeje sorry... i hate people that cant understand important things on their jobs like this things. :o
[Off-topic] Ed Zachary:
The effect of a phone, or game, or PC, or PDA, or YoYo, or stick of gum for that matter on the electronics of an aircraft is really irrelevant as far as you, as a passenger, are concerned.

Fact is, you have a ticket and part of that contract is that you are subject to the instructions of the flight crew.

If the flight crew (or a printed notice) tells you to turn off your PDA, or remove your watch, or put your YoYo in the overhead, they are not required to give you a reason. But you are required to do as they say.

The rule being ALL phones off or ALL YoYos go in the overhead makes it easier for the flight crew (no need to make a judgement call).
[Off-topic] mcbyte_it:
is there a regulation for yoyo's in the airplane ?!?! i didn't know about this....

i saw the mythbusters show, they also showed that a bullet shot on the window or plane body will not make everything blew away.
[Off-topic] boog:
Yeah, a quarter of a watt spread spectrum hardly creates any interference. Now if the phone was 25 watts (100 times more power), I could understand!

But I also agree that it is their plane and their rules.
[Off-topic] TalhaQasim:
That's in Saudi Arabian Airlines, too.

Anyone with a mobile phone, PDA, laptop & even the net-book will be asked to switch it off by taking off and by landing.

And I think that this process will be in every Airlines Company
[Off-topic] mysterd:
Yes, it would seem so...
[Off-topic] mcbyte_it:
well, with Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines mobile phones must be always off, even if you have flightmode...
[Off-topic] mysterd:
I'm sorry but I don't understand... A mobile phone in "flight mode" is just like a notebook computer. So notebooks must be off too ?
[Off-topic] Wilhelm:
During takeoff and landing they say no devices at all. I guess they think even the smallest electromagnetic field could throw off the instruments at a time when it's most critical. I thought European airlines were more lax and that they even allowed use of phones on them. On RyanAir they don't allow phones or BlackBerrys even in flight mode. They say they allow "Discmans" (whatever they are) but no mention of iPods.
[Off-topic] Scotty93:
i just think its a bit weird why have a flight mode on your phone or pda if you cant use it in a flight :confused::confused:
[Off-topic] mohamedtarmohamed:
back in July 2005 i used my phone on flight mode and flight attendant told me to turn it off but i carried on using it. Next moment I asked the pilot and he said use it! when he was on his way to the loo.
[Off-topic] jmitr:
Actually, different Countries different rules.

Europe = JAR

USA = FAA

Canada = TC

etc, you get the point.

As I only fly "domestic" (Canada and USA) I am only familiar with the rules here in North America.

The Basics, no for takeoff and landing. There is a reason for this. Most emergencies happen during takeoff or landing. Regulations state that the passengers must be able to hear the instructions of the flight crew (Flight attendants). This is why no headsets are allowed. Cell phones that are capable of flight mode may be used in cruise just like a pda or laptop. Regulations state they (smart phones, pda's, laptops) must be OFF for takeoff and landing, and during flight "all transmitting signals must remain off". This means flight mode must be on (no wifi, or bluetooth). If you are unable to turn the transmitting signal off then the device must remain off.

I know my own Airlines PA states if you are unsure of a device to ask the flight attendant. This is the weak link in the system. Everytime you include human factors, you get inconsistincies and errors. If you happen too ask a technologicaly crippled FA the question he/she may fall to the safest course and ask you to keep it off. He/She may be wrong but you must still listen. It is against the Air regulations (that's part of the criminal code folks) to not follow the instructions of a flight crew member.

For mythbusters....great show, I saw that episode as well. I am still not entirly convinced. I was decending into Vancouver once through 16,000 ft when suddenly the autopilot disconnected, and the aircraft rolled 70 degrees to the right while the nose dropped down. The plane flew well after we recovered. Maintenance found nothing wrong with the systems. Freak incident or someone with bluetooth running, or their cell phone interrogating towers in the row above the AHRS (attitude and heading reference system)????? We will never know.

JMITR

XDA freak and domestic Airline Pilot
[Off-topic] jmitr:
That is a very poor decision on behalf of the Captain (or First Officer).

Working together well as a crew in an Airline environment is very important. There are many times in normal flight and especially in an emergency situation where we have to rely on eachother to do our jobs correctly. This takes a large amount of trust. This trust has to be built. I always breif my FA's that if they make a decision regarding the passengers I will back them up 100%. There will be no appeals to the flight deck. It is important that your crewmembers know this of you.

A phone may seem like a small thing. What happens the next leg when an intoxicated passenger gets boarded? The FA thinks the drunk is acting slightly beligerent but doesn't say anything to you. You have already overridden her on a simple issue and shown that you do not trust her judgement. Ten minutes after takeoff the drunk gets upset, then violent and things spiral out of control. Lets step back, who's fault is this, or how could the situation have been prevented??

The Pilot may have been correct to tell you thatt you can use it, but he wasn't "right"

Sorry for the off topic post.

Hey. Did you ever see a plane Hijacked. This topic came in my mind when I was seeing this process in the National Geographic channel.

Too Weird and Dangerous:eek::eek::eek:
[Off-topic] jor3l:
here in Colombia fligth mode is not allowed... soo.... soo..... anyway im sure a lot of ppl never turn their phone off.. its something they cant control
[Off-topic] jmitr:
What process?? A Pilot relieving himself in a Loo instead of "holding it" for the entire length of flight? Come on man, we are only Human.

There are procedures in place for opening the door, we don't just open her up and walk on out. I would never describe it as dangerous. Untill they build airplanes with "crew relief facilities", galley supplies etc up front behind an armoured door.......this will always be a factor.

I can't talk about the procedures or recommended changes (I would be an idiot if I did in an anyonomous, public forum) but it is safe and needed. I don't give a SHI**@# what any tv station thinks about that (sometimes literally).

Back on topic (in the off topic discussion forum!!!!!!), different regulatory authorities, different rules, plus different individual intrepetations from there regarding electronics. Sucks when your on the recieving end of an incorrect instruction, but such is life.

P.S.

If you still say it's wierd, do this: Eat a big meal because that's your last one for a 12-14 hour work day, drink a coffee or 2 because this is day 4 of a flight pairing with long days, and "minimum crew rest", then HOLD IT and DO NOT go to the bathroom for 14 hours. Feel good? Now do that 14-18 days a month and lets see if you still think we should be robots up there.

[Off-topic] kareeem:
Saw this thread a couple months ago before i left to Syria. Well on the way back, i paid special attention to what the pilot was saying and he simply said to turn on flight mode if you're using a cell phone and if you can't, keep it off. This was on Air New Zealand but could've been BMI, can't remember.
[Off-topic] flobin:
I've never had a flight attendant even look at my phone.. I always turn mine off, but it seems to me that if cell phone signals really interfered with flight controls, I would have been dead already.
[Off-topic] afn691:
Even a small digital camera was forbidden during the approach manoeuvres to the airport, about 10 minutes to landing.

That's why I prefer the car: I can enter without undress myself, I can put inside almost everything I like (not big knives or alcohol bottles during special days as I may be suspected to want to have problems in some discotheque or want to drink while driving, even if I'm coming back from a work in the mountains and bought some bottles as a gift for the family)... I can stop and drink my water -I never understood why I must throw everything at the airport door and I can buy everything at the duty-free- and go to the toilet (or to the forest).

In fact, if you're having your device in flight mode inside of the case, no flight people will realize the device is on !
[Off-topic] Xilsoh:
Electronic devices OFF please!!!

:rolleyes: Ok Ok Ok... I'm a flight attendant from Aeroméxico and I'm also a 24-experience-years Electronic Engineer... I've read and studied all doc's about magnetic fields, security issues and blah blah blah... all that stuff... but according to my experience IT IS NOT A MAJOR MATTER of it (well, IT IS, but besides that)... It is just a simple answer... SAFETY!!!...

If on a take-off or landing, the airplane has an emergency issue and WE (flight attendants) MUST GUIDE to passengers out of the plane (in a 90 sec. evacuation as maximum time)... You passengers MUST HEAR AND OBEY ALL INSTRUCTIONS to get you out with a Zero or at least the minimum damage to any of you...

We must have your complete attention for the posible evacuation task... and reduce to zero or minimize the risks... that is why we kindly (most of the time) ask you to stop using earphones or headphones too during these critical moments of the flight... understood???!!!

Cheers!!!;)

Latest from T-Mobile twitter is that the Hero (G2 Touch) is available online from tomorrow and in stores over the coming days.

Just talked to upgrades by phone and they haven't got any in yet or have any details on upgrade pricing.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] robboy:
On t-mobile twitted feed it said that they will be selling the g2 from tomorrow (28th) but they still don't know any price plans.

I will be calling them first thing to see if they beat orange.

Just seen the above post saying the same thing sorry
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thecremeegg:
Does anyone know if the T-mobile graphite model is teflon coated?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] robboy:
Should be. I would like to know if there are any changes to the Orange Hero as HTC used to change the look of the XDA range for O2
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
No it's not, its black as well from what I hear, not graphite. Only the white is teflon coated to help stop the discolouration
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thecremeegg:
I meant to say black lol Just read on the T-mobile blog that the black version IS teflon coated
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
Hmm, I know T-Mobile usually get things wrong, so I'll go on what HTC say rather than T-Mobile till I'm proved wrong tomorrow :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thecremeegg:
Fair enough, I'm inclined to agree. i prefer the black though so will have to forgo the teflon :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] herman3101:
Not available yet by phone or website. Apparently phones become available on launch day around 11am. T-Mobile is already crazy busy with people asking about the G2 Touch.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Well, they should've announced it would've been available after 11 then! ;)

If there's a lot of demand, I hope they've got sufficient stock.

Regards,

[Hero, G2 Touch General] herman3101:
Not sure if the person I was talking to was right but apparently T-Mob have learnt from the G1 launch and made sure that there is enough stock to keep everyone happy.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thecremeegg:
I phoned up at 8.30 and was told I could have it but it was only free on £40 a month tariffs and she wouldnt budge :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] herman3101:
Was that on upgrade or new contract?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thecremeegg:
New contract. I mentioned that people have been getting it free for £35 on orange, and the fact I had a pre-order from expansys that gives me a free phone also but she said that because the deals havent been built for the hero yet she cant do anything. Apparently she's phoning me back on thursday
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
Might as well go on their Solo tarrif at £15/£20 and just buy the phone outright at £400, works out at either £270/£360 for 18 months.

So, solo would be either £670/£760 for 18 months with the phone being factory unlocked (don't forget you're not tied into a contract, rolling 30 day) or you can get a £40 a month contract with a phone that is locked, customised and all that other gubbings T-Mobile put on for £720.

I know what I would do.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Solo 15 isn't too useful as it doesn't include any data, but the Solo 20 does.

Just ordered an upgrade from T-Mobile and it's free on Flext-35 @£35 per month. Should arrive tomorrow!

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigviv:
just upgraded with t-mobile on flext 35 + wnw for £32/month 18 month

will get it tomorrow

anyone managed a better deal because i can still phone them and have a go!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] herman3101:
Just spoke to T-Mobile and they are offering terrible deals. I've been with them for over 6 years and they couldn't beat the offer that Orange gave me. Best they could do was a free phone on Combi 35 which would cost £36.50 a month including unlimited data. On Orange I got more minutes but less data at £34 a month.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
What are their rates on 12 month contracts? I don't count 18/24 months. Tooooo long :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigviv:
you just need to decide on the web n walk basically

i use it a lot, and this is an internet heavy usage phone if you want it to be

i'd pay for the internet myself
[Hero, G2 Touch General] robboy:
This is very strange t-mobile used to do some great deals. I was holding out for them looks like i might go to orange but i don't like the 500mg web limit.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] robboy:
seems a good price. BTW anyone know how much they charge to insurance???
[Hero, G2 Touch General] badgaz:
How much do Orange charge for exceeding the limit?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] herman3101:
To be completely honest, internet is all I really care about. I was on Flext25 before and never went over my allowance. I would be more than happy to go for the deal you got, I just refuse to be given a worse offer by T-Mobile than Orange despite staying with them for that long. On the other hand I cannot bear to think of staying with Orange as I have only seen the 3G symbol once since getting the phone and call quality at home and work is terrible.

I've been paying £22 a month for Flext25 with unlimited data and got the Vario III free when it came out so I was confident T-Mob would sort me out with a decent deal. Apparently the 500MB is a fair usage amount and the only consequence of going over is that you will be contacted and if persistant slowed down (not that it could get any slower).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigviv:
tough decision to make

i'd say call them up and request your code and threaten to leave quoting orange's deal, but do it in a nice manner, the call centre guys will help those who are polite but be firm

worth a try at least!
