I did not see and option when I ran the initial setup for basic or corporate like you get on the old XDA.
The o2 stuff is not much of an overhead it seems.

Missed calls Today plugin for WM6

Hi,
I noticed somewere - can't recall where - that there is a "missed calls" notifier for the Today screen, looks like the New mails notifier.
Does anyone know where I can get it from?
TIA

Phone alarm I guess, no ?

No, I mean a real Today plugin. It shows as follows:
Missed calls: N
Where N represents a number of missed calls.
this may not be what you are looking for but o2 plus has a today plugin that will show the last call whether missed or dialed... it has a ton of good plugins in it.. if you want it just do a general search for o2 plus

Many thanks. I will give it a try tomorrow. My JasJam is being tested overnight with Exchange 2007 for seeing the new features supported with WM6
I use DKToday - It dhows your network and signal strength, the days missed calls, days talk time, months talk time and months txts sent as well as having a little icon that turns bluetooth on and off.
Takes up double the room of the new messages today plugin and shows more than you're after, but maybe worth a look if the other info is of interest.

I've been using your CAB for a couple of days now, and I didn't even thank you...
so, thank you, o2plus is gr8!
found out they have even more apps, like messaging plus(treaded messaging that does not replace the original messaging!)
but they are very hard to get "patched"
anyway, TNX!
I can CONFIRM this works with WM6 on Dopod 838 Pro
Thanks.
This seems to be an earlier version of O2 Plus, the one a recall on the O2 Atom had options of modifying the font size and so on in the setup.
Is there a later release ?
Does anyone know how I can remove the bottom 2 lines on WM6 today screen - which is "Calendar and Contacts" and above this "Battery status and Comm Manager"
Cheers
You know how to upgrade to WM6 and install CABs but you don't know how to remove plugins from the today screen ?!? What is this world coming to.. ay ay ay....

To remove plug-ins don't you just go to "Start>Settings>today" then choose the "Items" tab and unselect the plug-in you want removed from the today screen.
If you want to remove the whole plug-in and it's program, just uninstall the program from the "remove programs" application. (under the "System" tab in settings)

Pay As You Go Settings
Excellent, works well for paygo so long as you change:
Access point name to - payandgo.o2.co.uk
user name to - payandgo
I will forward it to o2 customer service because they insist in talking you through it.

Official WM6 has broken my TomTom PLUS subscription

guys,
I upgraded to the official ANZ WM6 ROM, and it has changed my TomTom device ID which means I now cannot use the Traffic service (I already changed the device a few months back when I bought my Trinity).
I mailed TT support and they say then need a letter from my phone manufacturer explaining that the internal device ID has changed with the new ROM. TomTom base their device ID on the internal device ID (according to their support folks).
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Can anyone point me to an article or suggest a way to get some info from Dopod, HTC, or Microsoft about what WM6 does regarding device ID?
Thanks in advance.
Don't feel that bad It happened to me too. I contacted Tomtom guys and they were happy to give me a new code. But guess what, if you happen to do a hard reset and reinstall Tomtom, the code changes again. When I contacted Tomtom about this issue they said the following:
Dear Gilbert,
Thank you for contacting TomTom support regarding the difficulty that you are experiencing trying to install NAVIGATOR 6 on your PDA. We are glad to assist!
The new NAVIGATOR 6 is compatible with Windows mobile 6, although, it is not compatible with your HTC P3600. If you decide to install NAVIGATOR 6 on your HTC P3600 you may keep experiencing problems that we might not be able to assist you with. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Thank you again for contacting us, if you have any further questions or comments, please e-mail or call us at 1-866-486-6866 Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 7 pm EST.
Remember that at TomTom we believe in showing you the way, the easy way.
Best Regards,
TomTom support
______________________________________________________________
How lovely. I am already pissed about this as I cannot use my device with the current version for the Trinity.
Cheers,
Gilbert
thanks Gilbert- but that's terrible! I've had quite a few problems with TT6 going wrong on my P3600. Even when I downloaded the specific 6.03 revision.
At least you got somewhere with TomTom.
Do you have a support number I could give to them (as reference) by any chance?
cheers
I have Orange SPV M700 branded version of the Trinity which I bought off ebay & unlocked using tools available on this site & loaded the HTC 3600 rom. I loaded my existing TTN6 & had to reactivate but all went well as I was past 6 months since the 1st activation.
Anyway its been less than a month & I've now loaded the Dopod WM6 onto my phone but couldn't activate TTN6 due to new device code. I emailed TomTom on Thursday saying that I updated my Dopod D810 to official Dopod WM6 update. They emailed me new activation code today & all is working fine.
The Dopod ROM has a bug that changes the TTN Device Code; the other ROM's, official or otherwise don't seem to have the bug.
Once the new ROM is installed, the new Device Code ought to remain the same, even after a hard reset, but there will be problems if you later upgrade/downgrade the ROM, because the DC will probably revert back to the original one.
I've gone SPV M700 Orange -> HTC WM5 Official -> Mun-Rus WM6 SE and TE -> Dopod Beta WM6 (changed Device Code) -> Mun-Rus TE (Device Code reverted to original)
TomTom did offer me a new Activation Code, but required a copy of the device proof of purchase, and it took 2 weeks, so I reverted to the Mun-Rus ROM.
Your previous Device/Activation codes will all be visible on ttcode.com as long as you have your map Product Code so changing back to the original Device Code is OK for activating the maps. The problem is that even if you can reactivate the maps, TomTom Home will not let you revert to an older device association on your account, so even if TTN6 works, TT Home will not.
There is currently no fix for this- TomTom Support say they don't allow regression of account associations in TT Home.
For these reasons I've now abandoned TomTom in favour of iGO2006
Great another reason for not going down the Dopod ROM way.
It is not just TT... WM6 upgrade changes the Code of all my applications
Another way to approach it: each hard reset lets you download a new city map ;-)

There are a number of methods for generating device codes- based on IMEI, Owner Name, Device Name and other, deeper methods!
A lot of my programs have a new device code with each ROM, but the developers generally issue a new license without problems.
The trouble with TomTom is that previously, the Device Code has remained the same through all ROM updates, and they have linked their antipiracy policies to that. The recent problem with TT and device code changes has meant they have been caught off guard, and initially refused to do anything about it. I think the attitude is beginning to change, with the release of an 'official ROM' that changes the Device Code, but they still can't (or won't?) handle reverting your TT Home account to an older Device Code.
Don't sweat it!

Hey guy! Don't sweat it! My TomTom works perfectly in WM6. How reassuring does that make you feel? Probalby very little if any! So don't sweat it! Just try updating your TomTom here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/39292849/TomTom_6.030_by_Luigi.ING.cab
It worked for me, and don't forget to give credit and possibly a donation to Luigi for making this all possible!

Hey Guys! Thanks for this. Athena user strayed here and stumbled upon this. What a relief. I was about to pour out some invectives on TomTom.Wrote to them almost 3 weeks ago and got the same response as others above. Thanks for sharing. By the way who is Luigi
I have 3 subscriptions of TT, but It looks like they don't appreciate their genuine customers

Here is the link to where you can find Luigi's Rom page. Believe it or not his page was banned because he wasn't able to write in English! Now his page is used for "informational" purposes!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1292874
guys thanks, BUT a few points.
1) My TomTom works fine- it is TomTom TRAFFIC which doesn't.
2) I really want an official HTC ROM (and anyway don't fancy resetting it again!).
3) My Italian is not so good, so it would need to be English ;-)
For these reasons I need TomTom to add my new device code to my account.
It's coming up to 10 days since I logged the call- I've had lots of responses, asking for a letter of proof, and saying it has been reset (but it still doesn't work).

Not exactly. No-one was banned. The thread has been closed because this person was just ignoring again and again the rules of this forum.
hello
like everybody , since i have upgrade to WM6 , my device code has changed.
So my traffic option doesn't work anymore
but where is the problem ? i have only changed this device code on the site tomtom.com and now i can use this option in WM6
perhaps i don't understand the thread , but why have you write to tomtom ?
Regards
hi - you can only change the device code ONCE every 6 months.
Then you have to write to support.
I bought my Trinity a few months back, and changed from my M600....
ach so .......
oups ...
so if i want to reverse back to WM5 , i have to wait or write to tomtom
thank you for this information
exactly :-(
I don't understand TomTom's logic.....

That's 2 different things, maybe 3. Do you want to change the 'splash screens' - that come up when you soft reset... (In attachments), or the theme?

Well you could jusr unlock the SPL and then flash the device with one of the cooked WM6 ROM's. That will make the Orbit look like a standard HTC P3300
Thats what i did with mine anyway

Today screen countdown timer required

Hi
Has anyone seen a countdown timer that sits on the todayscreen? I am looking for a freeware version.
The reason is I am off on a holiday in less than 3 months and want to know how many days and hours till I go just by looking at my phone - (without opening a program hence the today screen) I have searched the forums for a few weeks but haven't found anything yet (but that could just be my searching technique!!).
Once the holiday is up I would look to use it for other events that are coming up.
thanks in advance
Wow, you must really want that holiday badly.
Job sucks, huh?
lol, yep!!
i'm going to new zealand for 3 weeks (and visiting someone out there ) - going to be hard to come back after!!
I'm also competing in a Half Marathon a few weeks prior, and need to know how many days left I have for training at a glance. So ideally the today app should pick up on the dates from the calender and then display them on the today screen (I think thats the ideal way...but i'm not a programmer so wouldn't know for sure! lol). I've seen quite a few countdown type programs but none that sit on the today screen (from what I can tell - want to preserve battery life so don't want it running constantly which is another reason why I like the idea of it going on the today screen and the Touch HD (or mine at least) needs the battery life preserving as much as possible - usually manage 2 days before charging - have run it out in 12 hours and less though before now....and once managed 4 days before charging....but that was without talking to anyone at all!!!)
Still no luck finding what i'm after - searched here and other forums - if anyone has seen something that is similar to what i'm looking for, please feel free to pm me.
does anyone know how to program this?
cheers
count down timer
Hi,
Try this little CAB used to use it on my tytn but not tried it on my HD.
Hope it works, enjoy your holls.
(it works on the today screen so cant use it with TF3D)
install then soft reset, then activate through settings.
regards
Jon
Thanks Jon, just what was needed and another satisfied xda-dev customer!
Edit update:
installed and running fine on the HD so far.
Have a great holiday. Hope she's worth it.
(BTW, whereabouts in NZ are you going?)
So do I!! lol
Going all over, visiting both Islands -North and South and trying to see and photograph as much as possible. Will be there for 3 weeks but the time will fly by too quickly before the reality of coming back to work sets in
My next task for the HD is to find some New Zealand maps for TT7 (in English of course) .....time to start another search!!

Hi
I set mine up by going to the Start menu (I'm not using TF3D) settings, Today icon, then the Items tab, then touch T-Day Counter and press options on the right, then just input the the date you need to count down to and press OK top right. (making sure that it has a tick on the tickbox) and it should appear on the Today screen telling you how many days left
hope that helps
Will
