Guest woof Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 Ive done a serch and not really come up with mucu, so Im posting, didnt know weather to post this in here or development section. But is there a download or way, of getting the characters counter for SMS so you know how many you got left?? also, to save writting another one in begineers section, does anyone know how to memory dump with out turning the phone off, cause some games eat the memory up, and I want to dump it after Ive played
Guest Firaas Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 But is there a download or way, of getting the characters counter for SMS so you know how many you got left??Unfortunately not. This isn't fixed in the update either. also, to save writting another one in begineers section, does anyone know how to memory dump with out turning the phone off, cause some games eat the memory up, and I want to dump it after Ive played You can use Task Manager to terminate any programs which you don't need, which subsequently clears out unrequired memory.
Guest spacemonkey Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 By memory dump you obviously mean, clear running apps out of memory (memory dump means save the memory somewhere). Look in the software section for an app called taskmanager. It will allow you to close apps. Be careful with it, it will also allow you to close items that the phone needs to run such as tray.exe. As to the counter, it would require a modification to the SMS application. Unfortunately this won't be done by developers here as this app requires privilege and therefore must be Orange signed regardless of whether the phone is unlocked for unpriveleged (games etc) type apps. edit- damn... got distracted while typing and when I clicked submit someone had beaten me.
Guest SirGaz Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 Woof, the SMS counter has been brought up many times, so I think you need to search a little better. Basically there isn't one, there won't be one either in the update (if it's the same as the Danish update). Don't know if one one of the developers are working on one though. The memory dump thing is a little harder. I doubt there is a way as it's a phone after all and not a PC. The best way is to switch the phone off then on again which clears down the memory. Best I can advise.
Guest Firaas Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 edit- damn... got distracted while typing and when I clicked submit someone had beaten me. That's what yer get for not giving the forum 100% :)
Guest SirGaz Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 Blooming eck you guys are kick off the mark. Bit like you firaas, got a little distracted but I didn't think it was that much!!
Guest woof Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 Ive looked all through the phone, and dont seem to have task manager, should it of come with the phone or do I need to down load it By memiry dump I mean get rid of any think that Im not using thats using up loads of memory. Cause Ive been playing a few games and after playing the phone hang a hell of alot
Guest Bazz Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 You need to download it and you need to unlock your phone to allow it to run non-approved software. See here to download it: http://www.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=3108 and see here if you phone isn't unlocked yet: http://www.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=1992
Guest woof Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 Thanks guys, will give it a shot, and cheers for the links Bazz Is it pretty much fool proof!!!
Guest Firaas Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 Is it pretty much fool proof!!! The unlocking process can be difficult, but as long as you don't switch the phone off while it's doing something, it won't cause any irrepairable damage.
Guest woof Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 Hi, when it says in the instructions, Change the name of the first browser favourite subtly, does it mean this comman line on the SPV THIS LINE???
Guest spacemonkey Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 Yeah, the bit where it say "1 Orange" change it to something like "1 Oranges". The only reason to change this is it gives a visible difference on the phone to make it easy to see if your modified files have been used.
Guest woof Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 Does it show up on the phone??? Could I change it to O2 as Im running an O2 sim????? Thanks for all the help by the way, I just dont want to cock it up, only had the phone a day!!!!
Guest Bazz Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 These are your default favourites when you open IE. It is simply a link to the Orange SPV site (spv.orange-today.co.uk) and the link will be renamed. Open IE now and you should see that link. Changing this setting just renames it. This gives you a quick check to see whether you modified setting files were read or whether Orange's one was used if you didn't get the timing just right. You can change it back afterwards.
Guest woof Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 I see, thanks a lot chaps, will give it a go *gulp* Beens as Im pretty new to this phone, can you change the O2 signs that apper on the phone or is this a little more complicated programming that I should leave and accept the Orange signs
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 Not sure what you mean by "signs". But the de-cert method you are about to try only removes the "application lock". You won't be able to use non-O sim's in it unless you do the battery trick or get it unlocked through Orange.
Guest woof Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 Sorry about this, but Ive copied the two file to my HDD and altered them, but they wont save, say that it can not create and to check the path and filename :oops:
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 Right click > properites > uncheck read only
Guest woof Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 Having a few problems, Im pressing the voice key and power switch to enter the selection screen, keep the two keys depress then I press the centre key as instructed, but it just goes on to the 3 colour screen
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 You need to press and hold the action button as soon as you see the screen. This tips can be found in other threads (try the global ones) or from a search.
Guest woof Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 I will have a serch but Ive tried pressing it as soon as the screen come on, but as soon as the action key is press it goes straight on to the three colour canary screen
Guest SirGaz Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 What may not be clear is that you have to take your fingers off of the power and record buttons. If you keep pressing them then it doesn't matter how long you press the Action key for, you will always go to the Canary screen. As sson as the phone responds following holding the power and record buttons, take your fingers off of them. Wait until the dialog appears and press and hold the Action key.
Guest spacemonkey Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 So this is another thread that's been hijacked into a phone unlocking tutorial?
Guest woof Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 Yep, but its not so much a tutorial, its a problem.....that ok!!! Ive tried taking my fingers off the power and voice buttons , but as soon as I do that it goes straight to the canary screen Sorry if this is all repeats, Ive done a search and I keep trying, but nothing yet. If your pi$%ed off with answer, then dont answer, Im only after some help, not people stressin at me
Guest woof Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 Ok, sorted it, will now continue the proccess.....probably with more questions. Cheers to all that just helped with out moanig (maybe I can do something to pay back, maybe lazer cut you a new front facia!!!!) for future reference if anyone is having the same trouble as me at the start, you have to just hold the power and voice botton for a sec, let go, nothing will seem to happen for a split second but then it will turn on, at which point you press and hold the action key
