On your pc double click microsoft activesync

click on explore

click on my smartphone

click on storage

click on application data

click on home

drag and drop the files in here

This is how i do them. I think cab files work differently though.

Click on the 'First 48 Hours' link in my sig :o

[Guest dasingh]

Thanks for that guys

Disco Stu the First 48 hours links is brilliant

I've had my C500 for nearly year now and I didnt even know it has speakerphone :oops: :oops: :oops:

Nice one

[Guest dasingh]

Disco Stu...i've followed your instructions for installing the homescreens

I've got a CAB file and did what you said....place it in the start ment/accessories

But when it goes to install it comes up saying I dont have the write admissions??

What does that mean?

You need to application unlock your phone first.

The easiest way is to use the Orange OTA service - have a look at the 'Official Decert etc' thread pinned at the top of this section. The 'comdefq' link is the one you want.

Otherwise you can use Pzee's guide which is also pinned up there.

Basically, phone operators put a software lock on the phones to stop you installing dodgy third-party software. It is easy to remove though and most members here will do it and not get any problems.

you prob dont need to restart it to install uncert progs now, but it wont hurt to rest the phone if you like. now you have it unlocked, you can do plenty!! enjoy! :o

[Guest Disco Stu]

Nope, it's not necessary.

As Hawko suggests though it is always a good idea to restart your phone at least once a day just to clean up the memory. I would also restart after installing new software to make sure everything is bedded in correctly.
