| 1273627 | 2012-05-04 22:44:00 | I have a Nokia E63 that was originally on Vodafone Prepay. I've now changed it to Telecom XT (It's a long story, don't ask). It is all working OK, but still shows all the Vodafone branding when I power it up, and shows Vodafone Live on the home screen. How can I remove all the Vodafone stuff? There is a "reset to Factory settings" option which may or may not do it, but I don't want to do that unless there is no alternative. TIA. |

| 1273628 | 2012-05-04 22:52:00 | Probably by altering the firmware, but could be an element of risk. Visit Youtube. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1273629 | 2012-05-04 23:21:00 | Or look in the options somewhere. There maybe an option to disable it. But if there isnt, there's not much you can do about it. Unless some version of the firmware can fix it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1273630 | 2012-05-04 23:27:00 | It's a firmware thing, all that info is built into the phones software. Try here: europe.nokia.com hopefully that gets it onto "stock" or "original nokia" firmware. Before progressing I'd asses the risks and try get a copy of the current firmware in case the new stuff doesn't work. I advise that for you because you might end up with a brick! |

| 1273631 | 2012-05-04 23:37:00 | You may have to do something like this (perpetuallystudying.blogspot.co.nz). Which may not be a good idea, if you dont know, what youre doing. Its not the same phone, but it maybe the same procedure | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1273632 | 2012-05-04 23:57:00 | Why bother. I have AT&T fones and they always boot up with the AT&T logo and I have a XT SGS2 on Vodafone. Never worries me.. | paulw (1826) | ||

I'm certainly not planning to do anything if it is in any way likely to cause me problems. I was asking just in case it was easy-peasy. Thanks everyone for the advice. I think I'll probably be doing nothing. :) |

| 1273634 | 2012-05-05 03:06:00 | Yep, the Nokia software probably would be fine but it might still have the branding on it. I would assume anyway. They are designed for Joe/Jane to download and install .... Re: other software incl tech software, I did that to a Nokia of mine, I bricked it, was under warranty though :D I wanted to replace it with a Asian firmware b/c Nokia phones tend to localise phones in regions that only display text in certain languages. Eg. If it is a EU version phone. It won't display Asian text messages nor with the OEM web browser but it can display various Western/Eastern European text .. |

| 1273635 | 2012-05-05 03:15:00 | I've just discovered that XT coverage at my place is almost non-existent (Waitakere Ranges). Maybe I should have checked that before I switched. :( | Tony (4941) | ||

Maybe I should have checked that before I switched. :( Looking at this site www.gsmarena.com if it was supplied from Vodafone it is only 900 and 2100 meg so it will not pickup Telecom's 850 meg band. Telecom only use 2100 meg for infill in the metro areas.. |
