Took me a while TBH as Windows Mobile devices aren't the easiest to configure! keep at it though and read through that sit and you'll feckle it!

I know, plus it has windows mobile 6, and used to have orange settings,
Posted by Nanu
I know!
I put WM6 on there and it also used to have the O2 settings as that's who I used it with!!
Just delete all of the orange settings and start again! It had T-Mobile on there when I first got it!

Hi Nathan, down load this cab http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/UK_Setup_ZD.exe ,transfer it to your compact 3 and run it. This cab is from the htc website and is for the p3600 ( trinity) handset but works great on my Orbit , now on T Mobile, hope this helps

Thanks craig, i have had many windows based mobiles and never had this problem lol, will give it a go. Where do i store it?
Posted by lemmy31

Craig

Nathan

let me know how it goes buddy
Craig

it says its not a valid pc application
Posted by lemmy31
its not ...... do not run it from your pc, transfer it to your memory card via activesync or a card reader and then run it from there
Craig

i just copied it to my memory card, will transfer via activesync

Sorry Nathan, leading you astray a bit here, download the file to your pc, connect the compact 3 via activesync and run it from your pc, ive just done it again with my orbit, when you run it from your pc it should bring up a box with all the uk operators , select o2 and your away
Craig

Nathan you must have activesync installed on your pc.....
Craig

Just downloading activesync for vista via microsoft once that has downloaded i should be ok, will keep you all posted until i have the settings lol

You will be fine once you have activesync installed, did you not get it on the cd that came with the compact 3 ?
Craig
Posted by mosdelln
Thats why it wasnt working then lol, what a numpty, like i said just downloading activesync now
Posted by mosdelln
Yeah i did, but when i ran it got a error message saying that vista does not recognise this program
Posted by mosdelln
I have got windows mobile device set up on my computer is that the right program?
Posted by mosdelln
it still says connection failed after it has been sucesfully installed
Posted by mosdelln
It does work, thank you all for your help (especially craig)
Thanks

if your running vista, you should have "mobile device centre" i think its called, you do not need activesync for vista, i use a mac most of the time so im not sure. i have a desktop pc upstairs running xp, i connect my orbit to the pc via activesync, i run the executable i got you to downlod and it works fine for me, i can choose to install any settings from any uk operator, are you sure the compact 3 is connected to your pc?
