UK o2 active

[soggybiscuit]

Hi,

I have a XDA II mini from Australia (magician) (dont htink they were released here) and I just got a o2 PAYG sim.

I want to access the o2 active service, especially the streetmaps (free until 21 sept i think), but I have no idea how to connect to it to use the service. The o2.co.uk website doesnt say much, and doesnt seem to support any of the o2 xda phones which I think is pretty stupid.

Has anyone been able to access the o2 active service?

I have looked at these two threads

and followed them. My xda says that I have a GPRS connection, although I cant seem to access any webpages except for www.o2.co.uk

best thing you can do to use the device as pre pay is download and instal the mini S ROM upgrade from the o2 XDA WEB site, has auto configure for post and pre pay users

Actually, it was. :wink:

Edit: Now I'm not so sure...

Anyway - go to http://xda.o2.co.uk/ for the information you're after. Why there's no link from the main O2 website is a mystery to me.... :(

will the ROM for the Mini S work on my mini?

I dont think the Mini even uses Windows Mobile 5.0

Has anyone tried this?

I dont want to kill my phone

DO NOT USE IT.

Mini is a Magician, Mini S is a Wizard (WM5). And it has been confirmed that a Magician will not run WM5.

yeah didnt think so...

i think its pretty stupid.

Ive tried installing the o2 active on it, but its a load of bs.

Im not even sure if its the same thing...

ah well... what a waste... looks like i will have to get a new sim... the only reason why i chose o2 was for that streetmaps functionality from o2 active. Their call rates seem pretty expensive compared to the others
