Any Symbian phone later than the 6680 have this function called "Active Desktop" This enables 5 icons you choose to be placed there, also the function alows calender reminders.

The calender function is useful on the Symbian range, because of the loss of some practical calender functions from the Series 40 range, plus it looks cool, and is v. functional.

is anyone able to upload the active desktop .sis file because the n70 i got from three australia have either disabled this or removed it from their version of the firmware. i dont see an app in the file menu for this app. thanks in advance

this option is at settings > phone > standby mode

to able to see them u have to on your active standby..

Only newer Symbian versions have this function.

OK i looked under settings where you said...
and i only have

Left Selection Key
Right Selection Key
Navigation key Right
Navigation key left
Navigation key down
Navigation key up
Selection Key

how do i get the option...or like SASHAP said...is there a .SIS file with it.
please help if someone can...coz its a useful ting to have.
Cheers

what network is the phone as my uk 6680 has active standby on it . Guess you may be on 3 as they mess with the phones ! Just get the firmware flashed to newest version at independant shop . That way you wont be stuck with particular network firmware anymore.

My N6680 has the very old firmwarev2.04.15, is 3 BRANDED FIRMWARE and has Active Desktop.

Try flashing your phone mate at a Nokia Service Centre, that should fix your prob.

Ill take it to the one in town up the road from me...see if that fixes the problem. :)
cheers

It should and you should flash to the latest version.. i see that your problem is almost solved.. do post your result so mods can lock this topic..

yeh man ill keep you guys informed no worrys :)

wel;l i took it to the 'NOKIA CENTRE' and they reinstalled the firmware..
and i still dont have the 'Active Desktop' feature enabled or anything.. :'-(

so i dunno what to do now....kinda ghey taking them off really :(
any ideas peeps.

can 6630 have this feature?

can 6630 have this feature?

no this is only for 6680 and Nsries phones. its very strange this feature should be available. i guess the flashing didn´t removed the operator crap that is blocking the top icons.

yeh its shite...as wanna give it a go...as i use calender and todo all time.. :)

Thanks aa10 for the great information I actually want to change some of my shortcut key your advice helped me a lot.

Could someone upload this active desktop plugin? I have N70 with orange menu and I don't want to loose my warranty so I can't debrand this phone by flashing it. I've found that orange menu is located at "Z:\System\Libs\Plugins\HOMESCREENAIPLUGIN.DLL" & "Z:\System\Libs\Plugins\homescreenaiplugin.rsc". Maybe this "active desktop" plugin also use those files in debranded phone. There are also two other files which probably should be altered: "Z:\System\Libs\Plugins\activeidlemytodaysettings.d ll" & "Z:\System\Libs\Plugins\activeidleoperatorplugin.dl l".

So if anybody could be so nice to extract those four files from Z drive (from phone which has "active standby" plugin) and upload them in this topic I'll be very thankful.
