O2 Notifications

[jaymit]

Hi,

I have a t-mobile mda (touch dual) but have it unlocked with an O2 sim in. Every time I send a text or make a call I get this annoying pay and go balance sent to my phone. Is there any way I can stop the notification or atleast prevent it from making a noise? I have tried turning of all sounds but it doesnt work :(.

Thanks in advance for any help :)

you could try search for an O2 named .exe file in \Windows\ or a .lnk in \Windows\Start Up\ and delete (or rename to be safe) them.

but you could also Hard-Reset your device (Hold both call/hangup buttons while device on and press reset with stylus).

or even HardSPL your device and install a clean ROM


;)

NOTE: Use PIM Backup (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705) before Hard Reset/ROM change, to save all your sms, email, contacts, etc. !!!

hi

thanks for the quick reply. I want to install niki project rom v2 but apparently it still has a few bugs that need to be ironed out. Do you knoow how I can hard reset? Im a bit of a newbie with the nike - just trying it out before I properly switch from my ancient tornado loll.

Also I know this is kind of off topic but is it just me or is the internet slower on the nike? Could it just be my radio rom?

Thanks again! :)

This is something that happens on all o2 pay as you go sims, its not the phone.

hi,

thanks for the reply :)

I know its an o2 thing but is there any way to stop the phone from alerting with a noise everytime I get one - I have tried going through all the notification settings and it still happens if I turn all notifications off - so I end up with no alert for calls / texts but an alert for credit! lol

i'd like to know this too, its pretty annoying!

[jaymit]

I cant seem to find anyway to change it :s. On my tornado and prophet the message shows up doesnt make any noise but I cant find options for disabled that tone in the nike rom :s

i found this post that gets rid of the noise, ive yet to try it though

First download totalcmd (another file browser)

Create a blank wav file.. call it notify.wav (sometimes notify.wma)

Use totalcmd to replace the one in the windows directory with the one you created..

It works with some versions of wm5 though, so good luck..

doesnt work, tried that a year ago!

My advice would be to move to a different PAYG provider - T-Mob or Three would be my first choices :) Get a PAC code, take your number elsewhere :)

Failing that, ask O2 if they can switch it off?

Cheers,

O2 have that as a feature phone them up and tell them you dont ant notifications

This is def the notify.wav. We can never get rid of the message from o2 as that is a network feature as previously mentioned.

Replace notify.wav with a blank wav sound. This will make it less annoying.
