Removing Orange Plus shortcut

[Guest Palindrome]

Every time I soft reset my M500 I get the Orange Plus shortcut springing back into existence in my program menu. Being a person that gets fuzzy feelings when the program menu is all tidy and nice-looking, I suffer no errant shortcuts lightly! [-(

Is there a way of permanently deleting the wasp in my jam so it shall never return? I was hoping that the hard/soft reset trick would have sorted it out.

Doesn't it?

I thought it would if you don't reinstall the Orange rubbish (I think this stuff would probably be in Action Engine CABs)

The only thing I installed from the Extended Rom was the GPRS cabs a few days ago. The shortcut was hounding me before I did this though. Perhaps I wasn't quick enough when soft reseting after the hard reset?

On mine (and I assume all M500s) there was a count down of 3 seconds I think.

I get the stylus ready and do a Soft Reset as soon as the Today screen appears after setting the time zone

OK, I'll keep that in mind for next time I hard reset the M500. This topic may be reappearing near the top of the topic list in a month or two.

I have the same thing, bigstorage rom installed, no other Orange software except for gprs disconnect and the mms settings, and low and behold, that blasted Orange Plus simcard icon

Well it seems to be created by the STK.lnk (SIM Tool Kit) in \Windows\Startup, but when I moved the shortcut my phone got stuck in a Soft Reset loop (gawd bless PocketPlus v3 with it's Safe Mode!)

I put the .lnk back and the phone's happy again, but I don't know what caused the reset loop...

[uninformed guessing]Perhaps part of the phone registering on the network uses the STK? [/uninformed guessing]
