Any ideas on how to get the genie sim card settings to work with gprs and mms on this rom? I've just upgraded my girlfriends phone and she has the genie sim. I've been through loads of posts and seen the first page of this thread but still no joy. Any advice would be great

Cheers

Rob

Thanks for the tip usdiver. I've found the genie settings post on here so just waiting on the phone coming so I can do all the necessary stuff

Thanks Awarner I understand what you mean now I've done a search and found the unlocking file mcwarre so I am going to try that, thanks for the advice
I've just bought a c500 on ebay for a decent price but I'm not sure if the phone is app unlocked or not. How would I get the phone app unlocked to put on the required cab file for sim unlocking if I dont have the original orange sim? Doesnt app unlocking require you to give a phone number aswell as the imei number?

Thanks again

Rob

Thanks Awarner

I actually didnt know that flashing the phone was illegal at all, why is this? I just thought leaving the orange firmware on would make it untidy with a 02 sim in and loads of orange crap on.

Hi I just wondered if anyone could help me with a quick query? My girlfriend has a samsung phone currently with a genie (o2) card inside but now she has seen my c500 on orange she has decided to get rid of hers and get one of these instead because there is so much more you can do with it. Only thing is she wants to keep the pay and go genie card. I've been doing a bit of research from these forums and am I right in thinking that I could:

1 Buy a c500 off of ebay or from the orange shop on pay and go
2 Get the phone sim unlocked via the website imei-check or similar
3 Flash the firmware over to the sp3i or qtek
4 insert her genie card and all is done

If this is the case then which firmware is the best, sp3i or qtek? Also how would I go about getting the correct settings for the genie sim? Could i go to the o2 website and get them to send over the settings via text?

Any help would be appreciated

Regards

Rob

Good one I use off of the film eurotrip

Cheers for them tips guys. I've added the plugin as you described arogntbastrd and it looks really good, just how i wanted it. I've left a picture out for now as my homescreen is black and it looks good with the white missed calls text and black background (well i think so anyway 8) )

thanks again

Rob

Thanks for that sunoke got it working at last. I did what BrAGoL said and put code before the iconbar and I had to put /> at the end of the background line instead of just > like you said

Sorry for bugging you all but there is a couple of things i'd like to change to it. I like the background colour (black) as its the same as my wallpaper colour but the text seems to be grey and a little bit too small. Also it shows only a number which is off centre to my screen. I'd like it if it had a little bit more info and larger white text, something like:

Missed calls

2

How could i go about doing this little modification?

Cheers

Rob

Thanks for the info AngelOfRage.

I sent an email to the customer services about a week ago now and just received a reply which said that i have an orange online account setup and then went on to show my details. But after logging in again I still cannot setup a new account to view my mobile bills. Oh well i guess il have to give it a month or two to see if they get there act sorted

cheers

Rob

Thanks for the advice BrAGoL but it still doesnt seem to work. I used notepad to edit the xml and dont know if its any use but I can open the original xml file in internet explorer but after i have added the above plugins it comes up the message:

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

Any more advice as im totaly useless at this hehe

Cheers

Rob

I've tried adding the code as above but it doesnt seem to work for some reason. Here's the last part of the xml file that i tried and failed to edit just from the lost calls screen downwards.





<!-- Lost calls screen -->



<!-- here we write the number of missed calls -->







Any more advice please?

Thanks again

Rob

Thanks for the reply's

I'm a total newbie but am getting the hang of things slowly. I've opened up the xml file using notepad on my PC and I'm not that bothered about having a picture shown, so would pasting just the first and third part of this code show only the number of missed calls on a blank background?

cheers

Rob

I'm sure this has been brought up a billion times before but im a n00b and after searching the forums im confused :?: Basically I've found an animated theme I like but it has one thing missing i would like to add. I'd like it if I could add some kind of plugin to show a screen when i get a missed call on my phone and keep it on till i goto my phone. Is this possible on an animated theme as I've seen it done on other themes before. Any advice would be great

cheers

rob

thanks jporch i'll give that programme a shot

I voted no as I don't use it everyday. Only time i really use it is to send files to friends phones although i'm looking into getting the new tomtom when it arrives so that could change things

Hehe thanks stu, guess i'll have to keep on checking

Just on the phone. I've only had my c500 for 1 month and wanted to know this aswell the other week as I was having problems sending to other phones. Using smart explorer I can send and receive to nokia mobiles no problems but I can't seem to get it to send to the samsung D500.

Hi

Dunno if this is the right forum to post this in but I could'nt find a more suitable one. I just wondered if anyone has had problems getting into there online orange mobile account lately? I've only just switched to orange within the last month and am trying to set up my account. I can get as far as logging in and then clicking the link which says set up an account, then a text is sent to my mobile which is a security number. But after entering the security code and my account no. it comes up with a message saying they are having technical difficulties and that i should try again later. I've been trying for about 2 weeks and it still isnt working so i wondered if the whole service was down or just the add account part.

cheers

Rob

I've been with Nildram who have just revised there broadband service and brought in caps. I used to pay £23 a month for unlimited 512k but have upgraded to the 2mb service for £2 extra a month. The 2mb service has a 50gig cap but is uncapped between the hours of 12am till 8am so any large downloads i shedule for that time. I wouldn't say I'm a real heavy user but do enjoy the occasional download and streaming radio etc. All in all i'm quite a happy bunny
