o2 Joggler Help and Advice

On this page, we offer information on using your o2 Joggler

 

o2 JogglerWhat is the o2 Joggler?

The o2 Joggler is a touch-screen device that sits somewhere in your house and lets you access a shared family camera, your photo and music collection, and tells you check up on news, sports weather and road information with just a couple of taps.

The Joggler's an impressive bit of kit and is available for a one-off, no-subscription cost - details at shop.o2.co.uk/joggler

o2 Joggler Quick Questions:

  • Where can i get a Joggler? Available with free next day delivery direct from shop.o2.co.uk/joggler

  • Can you surf the Internet from the o2 Joggler? - No - That's not supported

  • Can you add your own apps to the o2 Joggler? - No

  • Can I sync my Outlook diary to my Joggler? - Oddly, there's no calendar import as yet, but it could be added in the future

  • Can I stream stuff from my PC? Yes - see below

  • Do you have to be an o2 customer to use this device? No, you don't need to be an o2 customer. To use the calendar, you'll need to create an o2 account (you don't need to be an o2 customer to do this). If you're not an o2 customer, you won't be able to get text alerts of calendar events.

  • Can I upgrade the Joggler memory? To get more memory, you can plug in a USB memory stick. Also, if you have a PC, you can use the Joggler to stream content from your PC wirelessly, meaning that you don’t need to store your video, photos and music on the Joggler itself.

  • How do I change the scroll speed of photos in Screenshot mode? Go to Settings > Screensaver > Photo Slideshow, and alter the delay using the plus and minus symbols.

 

o2 Joggler: Connect and Play

The Joggler lets you play music and video files and view photos from PCs and laptops on your network, but it's not obvious how to do it. Here's a summary:

  1. On your PC, make sure you have Windows Media Player running, and your music library is loaded into your Media Library

  2. From Windows Media, click Library > Media sharing and select "Share my media". Select "Setting" to set up what you want to share.
    Windows Media Sharing

  3. Now, on the Joggler, go to 'Tools', select "Connect and Play", then press "Devices". Hopefully your PC share should appear - still a little more to do though.

  4. Back on the PC in Windows Media 'Media sharing', you'll see "Unknown device". Set it to "Allow", and choose 'Apply'

  5. Back on the Joggler, press 'Device'. Select the share, and your music, video and image files should be there.

More: The o2 Joggler uses a technology called Universal Plug & Play (UPnP), which is available on other platforms as well as Windows.
