is there any other way to do this other than outlook? I always used to use Orange Backup when changing between handsets, E200 > C500 for instance, but now that it's gone, are there any other alternatives?

Also, are there any programs for backing up SMS messages?

thanks a lot for that Pzee

hi, im looking for the link for Microturismo, as the ones in the other threads about the game don't seem to work?? anyone got the .cab for it?

thanks

nice little app, works well, quite slow to get to the section to set it all once you've used the speed dial, but not a major problem. Thanks

installed it fine, but it always says "alarm is now off", doesnt seem to toggle between being on / off when i use my shortcut key i assigned to the app?

any ideas?

cool little plugin there mate has anyone managed to get this plugin working with the "orange" homescreen, as i kinda like that HS myself.....cant understand why they left the quick access to the alarm out of it!

oops, thanks for that mate installing now!

do you have a link to that program at all Paul? thanks for your help

ok guys, got my new C500. backed up my docs and contacts using the "orange backup" facility. but is there any way i can back up my SMS inbox from my old E200 and move it to me C500?

thanks

thanks mate. i dont really want to use outlook syncing as i dont want all my contacts from outlook on my phone and iirc there isnt a way to filter the ones you're syncing from pc onto phone? also i dont really want all my phoen contacts synced onto my pc

will try orange back up

thanks again

Hi all

well i took the plunge and ordered a C500 as an upgrade from Orange to replace my E200.

Couple of questions:

whats the best way to tranfer all my contacts, pics, SMS's etc to the new phone?

can i back them all up using the orange online back up through my current cradle and then plug my new phone in and "restore" from there?

does the new phone come with a cradle, or just a usb cable?

thanks

thanks mate, appreciate the help

will check out the shop details for the headset, but then i cant get the online offers on tarriffs mmmnnnnnn

hi guys, im seriously considering getting the C500 now, updating from an E200. Got a couple of quesitons if you dont mind:


- someone mentioned in another thread that you can get an "offer" Bluetooth headset for £10 from orange when you buy a C500? Is this only in the shops as i cant see that online anywhere?

- What size Mini SD card does it come with? how much are extra ones roughly?

- I've heard mixed reports on menu and general phone speed. anyone whos used both the E200 and C500, what would your comments be?

- Is there a Rom update already worth doing when i get the phone?

- Is the T9 bug fixed since the E200? ie does it remember your manually entered words preoperly, even when you reboot?



Thanks for the help

thanks for the reply there mate i think the main thing is the speed. While the E200 is usable, it is a bit of a pain when you press the buttons and there is a lag while ot actually goes to the menus!

Hi all, was hoping someone might be able to answer a few basic questions about the C500

I've currently got an E200. I might want to upgrade bu i wondered about a few things:


- how does the speed of the phone compare with the E200? The E200 can be quite slow browsing through menus etc

- is there a sound hissing problem like there was on the original E200 ROM, or is that all ok on the C500.

- Does it use the same sized SD ram cards as the E200?

- anything majorly wrong with the new model?

- whats new which is a noticable improvement on the E200?


Thanks for the help guys

guys......is there no way of having the orange Homescreen or at least something similar on the imate rom?!?!?

i really like the rom as a whole, but hadnt realised how much i used that homescreen, for everything really......if i cant get something similar working then i will have to go back to orange !!! thats not good!

florins fix is here: http://www.modaco.com/download.php?id=8437
the Imate rom is here: http://www.clubimate.com/Support/RUUv2.60I...v1.11.15.32.zip

how can i get the orange homescreen working on the Imate Rom, is it possible at all or is there no wayof having it??

im currently stuck with the MS ones any which are similar to the orange one which u can reommend to download?

EDIT: im on Imate now, so dont wanna go backj to orange. is it possible to copy the necessary files from the orange rom, then put them on the imate rom after?

thanks

you can only set it as none, 5, 10 or 20 seconds

if you set it on none tho, that means the msg never goes away after u change the volume until u press "done"

so i have mine set on 5 seconds which is what it was b4, and it times out after 5 and disappears then

nice work mate

there's an activesync update now too, see the news section on this board, links to MS website........might help

wondering if anyone has found the handset to be a little slower post update? thats the only prob ive had with it really.......

has anyone tried deleting the progs that start up in the startup folder or something like that? which ones are safe to delete?

yeah will charge from the usb connection, but prob wont draw as much power from teh usb as from the mains, so wont give it a full on charge...........still nice for a top up

have a look in the tutorials section theres a T9 workaround in there works a treat

stupid orange for having a power cut and a fire!!

come on, thats hardly in their control is it?!?!

think it was a good point above, that some ppl are more happy with crap battery and buzzing , and some are more happy with a working SD card, seems we cant have both just yet, so up to every user to choose which they prefer
