[Omnia 7 General] sewe:
You could add me and a couple of friends of mine too, so damn tired of this.

But as usual when we speak to either our carrier or samsung "never heard of it, have you reset your phone, have you tried another simcard etc...........
[Omnia 7 General] dada051:
But if you are in a non-3G coverage zone (because you are moving for example) does the call stop ?

New update from Samsung --> KC3 (maybe only for french)

Just flashed, I'll tell you if reception is better or not.

http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...Tool_for_OMNIA7_KC3_Ver1.3.3.1_for_French.exe
[Omnia 7 General] kille9:
Is this version only for French providers?
[Omnia 7 General] cyrebre:
So, since 5 days I flashed this FW, I do not experience blanks anymore during calls !!! It's like having a brand new phone... I can't believe Samsung did not address it before, this is clearly my last Samsung phone.

But some (littles) problems appeared : sometime at the beginning of a call, the called person does not hear me for 3 seconds. And an afternoon, my phone lost its signal, and I was forced to restart phone to recover it. But it's greatly better.

And I don't know if it is only for french providers or not, but the name of the Firmware let me think so (Device_Update_Support_Tool_for_OMNIA7_KC3_Ver1.3.3.1_for_French).

You should look at Samsung support website in your country, maybe there is a localized version for you... (this one is dated from end of may).

HTH !!
[Omnia 7 General] kille9:
How do I find this firmware?

I can't find any firmware updates on Samsung.com...

The only thing I can find is this:

http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...Update_Support_Tool_for_OMNIA7_KC3_Ver1.2.exe
[Omnia 7 General] cyrebre:
It's a KC3 version, maybe some fixes were applied for the French version, but it may be OK with that one for your country !

If you don't try you won't know... :)
[Omnia 7 General] leoms17:
Can you quote all you firmware revision numbers and version numbers? (*#1234#*)

I assume your phone wasn't hard reset since you didn't mention it?

Thanks!

And my phone effectievely did not hard reset.

but still no blank problems !!!!! :D
[Omnia 7 General] nizzon:
What do you mean its the same problem? Did you watch the video? He doesnt even answer the call so how can you be sure its the same problem? I have never had the problem he is having.

Yes, I have known about that workaround for months, its not an option for me, I need 2g as well since I travel allot.
[Omnia 7 General] leoms17:
You posted it was a KC3 version, but it seems it's only KC1?

Everything looks to be the same you get with the last firmware from samfirmware.com.
[Omnia 7 General] cyrebre:
I agree with you, version number did not change but my problem disappeared.

I flashed my device many times with other firmwares (including KC1) and with this version it's ok. I don't really know why.

hth
[Omnia 7 General] VoltageMX:
Well I'm really happy for you guys if the problem finally got adresed by Samsung. But I did not have the patience to wait. So I switched the Omnia fot the HTC Desire S, which was provided to me by me operator without me paying or they returning any money. So I realy hope that your Omnia's will function properly with this update. But one thing I know for sure, I will never again buy a Samsung phone. My next phone will almost certanly be a Nokia with Windows phone. Those Nokias are going to be kick ass! So I wish you a pleasant usage of your Omnia's. (Now that they work, I hope :) )
[Omnia 7 General] VoodooKing:
Because its the EXACT same sounds I had when I answer the call. The sound STICKS when the phone rings and when answering the call. GET IT? If its not an option for you, get another phone then.:mad:
[Omnia 7 General] Phyx:
The KC1 (KC3) firmware also fixed the issue for me, and also took care of a few minor annoyances too. So I'm a happy camper
[Omnia 7 General] Kostija:
what exactly did it fix besides the call issues?

And can someone please confirm that this (french) firmware is indeed working with other European providers (especially T-Mobile Germany).
[Omnia 7 General] Phyx:
The capacitive buttons are now disabled when the screen is being touched. So no more accidental clicks out of the application. The internet speed seems to be greatly improved, though this might be Mango, but it fetches data much faster.

It switches less between bands, and even when it does switch, no silent calls.

I have an unlocked unbranded european Omnia 7. The KC3 tool itself had no french markings or text aside from being offered on the french side. the KC1 firmware I used the english one. not sure if the KC3 tool did anything since the version is still KC1
[Omnia 7 General] Kostija:
thanks, I will try that tool, running German KC1 now. How come you already have mango? developer version?
[Omnia 7 General] dada051:
I update my firmware, but it's not resolving the problem :mad:
[Omnia 7 General] Nakazul:
Samsung Sweden have recently created a fix. Bad news is that you have to call Samsung support and then send in your phone. Reports i heard so far is posetive. Radio version stated on Telia's forum by a user is 2424.11.6.1
[Omnia 7 General] ronan675:
That's good to know. I hope we see a new firmware leak from samfirmwares soon. Robot calls / silence issue is very annoying.
[Omnia 7 General] Disinto:
I clicked "no problem" in the poll just before I remembered that I actually did have some troubles... I once experienced a weird bug: no sound at all, even when playing music. Reboot didn't solve the issue!! I had to plug and unplug the earphones to actually solve the issue. Weird, weird bug on this Samsung phone. I'm really gutted... I hope new firmwares will solve this random issues.
[Omnia 7 General] ElSheKaR:
Hi from Spain

I bought an Omnia 7 from second Hand one month ago (free from provider / retail). I suffered the same problems as you, so theres no need to explain what everybody knows.

My provider by the moment is Vodafone . I tried to do a duplicate of the SIM (becouse the seller had Vodafone too but with no problems) but the robotic noise didnt dissapeared

In a few days I will be in the Simyo provider ( a cheap provider that uses Orange Networks in Spain) hoping that the problem only happens to me with Vodafone

But two days ago I flashed the phone that Cyrebre posted. For the moment no robotic noise, no call drops, no silences... Maybe its too early to claim victory but... For the moment all goes perfect

As soon as I can i will post more info and the diagnosis data
[Omnia 7 General] Nakazul:
Hoeit helped you, bu i heard up to almost a week the longest wihtout problems until they return again. =/

Hope you be lucky though.

Anybody tried contact there Samsung OEM in there own country asking for help? Curius to se if it´s only Sweden getting the new Radio Firmware.
[Omnia 7 General] Keefo:
Hi all!!

i got my GF an omnia 7 and had problems with not hearing people and them not hearing us... this is our second handset and its doing it again!!

Its an unlocked Orange phone with a T-mobile Sim in the UK.

Anyone care to help me try some things to fix it? as im thinking it will just happen again with another handset...

not read through all the thread but if anyone could make a little summary or something of what can be done/tried to fix this problem would be a great help!

cheers

[Omnia 7 General] fzncloud:
I have taken my omnia 7 to Samsung Customer Care in Melbourne, Australia.

I told them the situation and my own testing. What i noticed is that 2g eliminates all issues (but means bad mobile internet) of robotic calls and the issue becomes 100% evident in noisy areas (when I stand at train station and the train arrives, it shoots the call issues to maximum).

It feels as if the noise on your end causes the omnia 7 to think you are talking and cancels the other persons voice (possibly to enhance your input quality).

Samsung Customer care kept my phone for a week and when I went to pick it up, they said there were no issues and could not help. They also said they could not replicate my issues (as if they tried). I have replicated the issue across 3 carriers and almost broke out into argument as the tech support officer at Samsung said its my carriers fault...

Took my phone back and downgrade/unlocked it to mango completely, awaiting this fix in radio rom everyone is talking about.

ALSO I have noticed when I goto the band options in diagnostics mode.

Selecting WCDMA and then option 3 (WCDMA 1800) will always result in 1900 instead. Somethings up....
[Omnia 7 General] jpijper:
You don't want to read the thread but expect others to write you a summary?

Wow!

[Omnia 7 General] Nakazul:
It´s an issue with all Omna 7 headset, more or less. It seems that Samsung devices in general have issues with some carriers, and its a worldwide problem.

If i call Samsung Sweden they now have a fix for this to Omnia 7, but you have to contact the OEM in your country to ask for this. Dont know if other countrys have recived this patch other then Sweden. It wont help to call your carrier, you need to contact Samsung directly since its a issue that is Samsungs fault.

Do this and report back if there is a fix for you in your land and let us know if there are more countrys reciving the fix.

Until then, its a no go, if not the latest radio firmware will be leaked soon. Samfirmware.com is a place for such. And it has to be new, but so far no reports about a leak for this.

I written a other post about this and im asking people to voe and answer questions if there carrier have Edge network to see if my theory could be correct, because i belive the issue lies there.

I also call out to all Omnia 7 owners to call this in to Samsung directly, since thatys how we got our patch here in Sweden, all users complained directly to Samsung and keept calling back asking for a solotion until they budged and looked in to it.

The call centers Samsung have are on our sides, there reporting everything, but the routines within Samsung is making this a problem without a solotion =/

Happy hunting.
[Omnia 7 General] Kostija:
For me its the other way around, at home (everything is silent) I can replicate the problem every single time. It goes silent within the first minute, no matter who is calling.

However, in the city (some noise) I didnt had this at all, not once, can keep talking for hours, thats why I assumed it must have something to do with signal strength in certain areas, but the noise level might explain this as well.

I will try to call sammys german supportline and if they dont believe me, ill give em a call from my omnia :)
[Omnia 7 General] fzncloud:
heads up, the new Samsung update via zune has fixed this issue on my phone.

Let us know your experience with the update once you receive it.

Cheers
[Omnia 7 General] ikke008:
What update do you mean?

Do I recieve this when I am on mango?
[Omnia 7 General] Nakazul:
I dont think you get the right firmware through Zune. It might function.for a week but the problem will e eventually return.

In the beginning Samsung Sweden said the sane, that the problem could not. E replicated, ut we keept calling in, and finaly they broke and fixed the issue. So dont give up, keep calling.em and they should eventually take the fix from Sweden, because we got a new radio firmware that seems too work.
[Omnia 7 General] REALDEM0:
hey my samsung omnia 7 friends :) i have my omnia since a few days and since today my girfriend was calling me and i cant hear her!!! and if i do a call the other person can hear me but i can hear nothing!!! absolutly silent!!! im so pissed off! i have the lates firmware and nodo update from zune and so on... i have do a hard and a soft reset... nothing! i cant hear anything if i do a call...

did anyone have a news for me? any soltuion? i dont belive that it is a broken hardware part or some... it must be a software fault.

happy calling... but its good for the sense of hearing ^^
[Omnia 7 General] cyrebre:
I would be happy if I can't hear my wife, why do you complain ??? :)

I've heard of a new firmware from Samsung due "in the next weeks" . But maybe your phone has a faulty hw...
[Omnia 7 General] ElSheKaR:
Here i Am, one month later, and i have good news!!

Since I flashed to the 1.3.3.1 that you can download in the frech support page of samsung (sorry newbies cant post URL in this forum) i have got 0 robotic voice, 0 call drops (in both directions)

Only 2 o 3 small silences in a month.... GREAT!

The firmware update is VERY EASY to do, is all automatic. Don't worry about the language it doesnt change

I dont know why in Spanish site or Uk site have still de 1.2

Trust me, update your firmware and enjoy de summer ! XD
[Omnia 7 General] ronclone:
i did the update, but for me it seems worst, in fact i didnt change my fw version neither the radio version...

Can you share your fw radio and bootloader versions??

[Omnia 7 General] ballajalla:
What update, and site are you talking about?
[Omnia 7 General] ElSheKaR:
I am talking about this update. I CANNOT post links (newbie restrictions), so have to edit it ;)
[Omnia 7 General] ballajalla:
What does this change on the phone? Radio firmware?

EDIT: I installed it, no changes to firmware/bootloader/radio version numbers. Can't do any harm, I suppose...
[Omnia 7 General] ElSheKaR:
Yes. That's what i tried in the 12th August 2011, 01:42 PM post, but newbie restrictions made it imposible

ONCE AGAIN I can not post url :mad::mad::mad:

Go to the samsung fr site -> ASSISTANCE -> Search "Omnia 7" -> Click on the first link "Téléphone Mobile GT-I8700 (GT-I8700YKAXEF) Firmware" -> Download the EXE file

Samsung have the solution but dont say nothing, and I try to explain the solution but the forum doesnt let me do it :confused::confused::confused:
[Omnia 7 General] VonCrisp:
If you updated through that tool... how come your firmware is still on JK1? Even your firmware is old :S.
[Omnia 7 General] ronclone:
Same result as ballajalla, didn't change any version number and problem still present
[Omnia 7 General] ElSheKaR:
as the other user posted months ago, it is normal that didn't change any version number

I dont know why, but when I used that upgrade, my problems dissapeared.

Maybe there are different problems and this upgrade only solves one (in my case robotic noise that finished in drop calls, long silences, and 1/3 or more of the calls i receive , goes finally down)

Sorry guys if the 1.3.3.1 upgrade didn't solve your problems, dont know why that upgrades solved the cyrebre's and my phone

:(
[Omnia 7 General] ballajalla:
I'm not sure what the update does, but it isn't a firmware update. The file is only 20 something megabytes anyhow. It probably just does some tweaks.

It's probably just a coincidence, but this morning on the train my reception war worse than before the update, almost back to how it was before I updated to KC1. When moving into a area i know has 3G coverage it remained in Edge mode.. Maybe I'll have to re-flash my firmware, but I'll test it out a few more days.

So the moral to the story is, if you are on KC1 firmware, stay off this update for the moment as it does no good, and possibly harm.
[Omnia 7 General] ronclone:
After a couple of days i can ser what your're saying... i jeep my phone locked un 2g when i dont need internet, and the reception is really bar, in the middle of my town and i keep losing reception, i might hace to start all over from 7004...

Edit: i decided to start all over again this weekend and flashed the XXLJ3 uk retail rom. Unlocked and went to mango RTM and i can see an improvement in call quality. Its soo much better, i still get some cut off from time to time but its manageable i think... Still, i need to test for a little while before i jump to conclusions...
[Omnia 7 General] Heathcliff74:
For what it's worth...

I've tried the update just now. I will report back in some time to let know if I can notice any differences. I had the silencing issue occasionally. Almost never any robotic sounds. I have JK1 rom and KB2 radio.

To people saying that the firmware versions haven't changed: That's probably because they only changed the drivers in the OS. That's also part of the firmware and not listed separately in the About screen.

The setup is in French, so for people who want to try this, here's the English guide:

Disconnect your phone.

Switch off your phone by holding the power-button until the device says "Goodbye"

Go to download mode by pressing and holding "Volume up", "Camera button" and "Power button".

Release the buttons when the phone is in "Download mode" (yellow triangle with exclamation mark).

Start the Device Update Tool.

Select "J'accepte".

Click "Suivant".

Connect the device with USB cable and wait for the program to detect your Omnia7.

Click "Démarrer".

Wait a few seconds for the update progress.

Your device will reboot and the update is ready.

Ciao,

[Omnia 7 General] ikke008:
GREAT NEWS, the KH2 rom solves all the problems with the new radio rom.

Just flash your phone.
[Omnia 7 General] ElSheKaR:
Thats true. When i came back to a carrier that uses Vodafone networks the problem returns

Now i've flashed with the new KH2 + Mango RTM and now, confirmed, 0 dropcalls with voda network ;)

Only a few silences at the begining of some calls... you can live with it ... ;)

THANKS 4 THE INFO ikke008 ;)
[Omnia 7 General] andrewcsh:
Call issues....

Hi guys... I am facing same problem... Even after updated to latest Mango still the same... I've notice a patern after a long research...

1) Can call out normally, everythings working fine, but If it receive a call the Silent will keep on happening untill a restart is done.... (Call in/out)

2) Happen too if callout and select speaker phone function too...

3) Will notice the call menu will hang for a while... (Notice it because the call timer freezes, and took me a while to end the call...)

Help anyone....
[Omnia 7 General] Pica_Man:
Had my omnia 7 since last december on T-mobile UK. Always had the occasional call problem with it. Last few months have suddenly started the robot/dropped calls all of the time (about 80% of calls). Had the official NoDo update on it. I was not willing to flash it and invalidate the warranty so took the phone in to t-mobile and it has been sent for servicing. Back on my Hd2 running Nexus S rom now. If they return the Omnia and say there are no hardware/software issues I'm going to demand a new phone. will report back.
[Touch Pro CDMA] khabri:
Hi,

I have HTC Touch Pro US Cellular CDMA phone. In boot loader it displays "Security Unlocked". does this mean I can use with different CDMA carrier ?

http://www.techhackz.com/2009/06/unlock-your-htc-touch-pro.html

Above article mentions "Security Unlocked" in same sense.

When I try ##775 to update PRL it asks for "enter unlock code". does it mean that US Cellular has locked it ? If its locked then what should I enter here ? SPC, MSL what ? If its unlocked then what should I enter here ?

do I have use special software to unlock cdma phone or from ebay vendors I can buy SPC and that all I need as unlock code ? is SPC same as MSL ?

What does "handset locked" mean ? When I manually configure phone using dial codes for different CDMA carrier will I loose features like SMS, Internet ? what is minimum information needed to feed in ? is it carrier decided or standard ?

What is meant by unlocked and how do I verify it on my phone.

Regards,
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] anandanoop:
Galaxy Tab..

So i got these three application pre installed in the tab related to muslim religion, the Holy Quron, Qiblah and some direction app.. they were factory installed.

As much as secular as i am.. i dont like having apps in my phone that i didnt put there..

So i went about finding out a way to uninstall them.. Long story short using busybox,superuser and titanium backup i got rid of the three..

Aha i felt like i became a jedi..

till i reset

and found the menu has replaced the icons of those three apps with nothing.. It's Empty..

I tried moving the other apps onto those empty spaces but dont work..

Any ideas people?

* May the force be with you..
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] anandanoop:
This is only a test to see if i get a mail when someone replies..
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] DemonGloom:
You can reflash firmware - that will be the best way.. After you delete those apps and you see that all work - just do nandroid backup, and if you need to do reset - just restore backup..
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Archer:
If you do flash stock firmware, as suggested by DemonGloom, or a factory reset (same thing) then you'll get it back to how it was. If you then use Titanium Backup to simply freeze the apps then they'll no longer show in your app drawer (app menu). That's the most effective way of hiding them.

Alternatively, you can use Launcher Pro instead of the stock launcher and you can hide apps from the menu with that as well.

Either way, just get back to stock and take it from there.

Good luck :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Tried and tried and tried to get a decent radio, none of them appear to work well at all, I have used co pilot since i had it on my HTC Hero (which was also a little iffy too) i tried it today and i didn't even get a gps signal at all, the stock radio always got a lock within about 10 - 20 seconds,I have Core droid running at the moment (froyo with sense) which is a fantastic rom (build number 1.84.661.1) I am using the radio from the radio thread which matches my build number, I am on Orange uk and previous to having a a custom radio It was always getting a gps lock (on both maps and co pilot), mobile data was usually always on H and i never lost a call, wifi has always worked regardless of what radio i have had (on either phone) and still does, battery life is always poor but i think that goes with the territory of having a dhd, i'm presently overclocked to a max of 1.2ghz, usually 1152mhz, which i believe is using an undervolted kernel.

So I know that there is always a shadow of doubt of whether a specific radio will work on any given phone but surely there must be someone in england (london if pos) who has a working radio which i could know about, it would be a great help and would possibly help more than one person, maybe a thread about a specific rom, kernel, build number, location and Radio and how / if it has helped you, would be a good start, there might be a pattern showing as to what works and what doesn't.

Any help would be well appreciated.

Cheers. :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawks556:
Why don't you try to use the radio which you had when it still worked (the stock one)? If you're using a case it might also weaken your gps signal.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulus_01:
No problems with radio here mate.

I am using LeeDrOid v2.2.2 with radio 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2 with Kernel LeeDrOid-Ace-V2.2.8

Wifi signal is strong enough to be catched 2 floors away from my router.

GPS fix in CoPilot is within 20-30 secs.

Bluetooth works and 3G works great as well.
