Any way to transfer market purchases to Amazon?

Glad the amazon appstore is finally up and running, will be good to have a moderated app store, getting sick of the amount of terrible apps in the google market.

I hate how so many apps don't update to the version number in the android market. I know most people get their apps for free in amazon but hopefully they will update to the latest version in a reasonable timeframe...if at all.
[Omnia 7 General] malin_77:
Hello to all of you,

I am new the forum and I got my Omnia 7 just about 2 weeks ago. I really like it because of the excellent screen and build quality.

I also like the smooth and sleek feeling of Windows Phone 7.

However, I had regular issues during calls.

During about a third of my calls (including incoming and outgoing calls), I was not able to hear anything at some point during the conversation. The person called or the person who called me could also not hear me anymore.

The phone seems to work (no freeze) and the signal was ok. Turning the speaker on did not help.

Moreover, when I stopped calling and called back everything was fine and working again.

Sometimes it happened already when I picked up a call, sometimes after just a few words and sometimes in the middle of a longer conversation.

It seems to be random but regular, since about one out of three of my calls was interrupted.

It is really annoying and the phone is therefore going back.

However, I really liked the Omnia 7 and I would get another one, if the unit I got was just faulty.

So I would like to ask other Omnia 7 users if you have experienced a similar behavior of your Omnias during calls? Was my unit faulty or is it a general issue?

I would appreciate your feedback.

Thank you in advance.
[Omnia 7 General] malin_77:
Does really no one want to comment about how his Omnia 7 handles calls?

I would really appreciate your feedback, even simply stating your Omnia 7 works fine without any mic ans speaker issue.

I thus just added a poll to the thread, so that it becomes even easier to give some feedback.

Thanks in advance for your input.
[Omnia 7 General] hr_kaleu:
Same with me on my Omnia 7 - A1 Telekom Austria

Spoke to Samsung but they were not able to help me out but sending me a contact info to a service partner (Extreme Communication in Vienna, btw)

Service Partner told me that there are issues with the Omnia 7 (amplitude control) and I should send my device to them...

As were are having the same troubles on approx 20 devices (95% of handed out devices) I have to check if repairing is an option (warranty from our provider)

will post later, if I have my device back...
[Omnia 7 General] leoms17:
No problems here, I've had an Omnia7 16GB since early February. It was unbranded about a week after I received it. No one I've heard of has had such issues but one who complains of "modem-like" sounds for him and the other part prior to missing a call. He also reported this happening every third time or so...
[Omnia 7 General] hr_kaleu:
count me in...

having modem-sounds (or robot sounds) as well

and it's not only me - my co-workers have the same issues

but there are more issues:

it's annoying that my Omnia 7 (8gb version) is hardly able to receive calls at the first time (approx 75% of the incoming calls) - if I call back, most of the time it seems to be ok

these problems do not only affect my device, but about 95% of Omnia 7 we handed out to our co-workers

I had the chance to test a HTC 7 Trophy - none of the errors I have on my Omnia happened on the Trophy!
[Omnia 7 General] Phyx:
I have the same issue, using T-mobile in the netherlands, I just always assumed it was them.

I've noticed this only happens on 3G and 3G+ networks, if i turn off data and use the normal G network, I don't get call problems, which why I assumed it was t-mobile.
[Omnia 7 General] eqzgkxokwa:
I'm having the same issue on most of my calls. In the beginning I thought it was a network issue. Haven't been able to figure out how to fix it so far. Will call Samsung support.
[Omnia 7 General] :
Has anyone here updated their ROM to the latest XENJK from samfirmwares.com? I had issues with the mic going silent during calls til I upgraded to that

Sent from my OMNIA7 using Board Express
[Omnia 7 General] leoms17:
Please post on your service results! Are you using 3G and 3G+?
[Omnia 7 General] leoms17:
I also have the latest from samfirmware.com. Maybe that does it? Someone?
[Omnia 7 General] malin_77:
Thanks for your comments so far...

At least I am not alone with this issue...

I am now really wondering if this could be a software/ROM/firmware issue given Blade0rz comment...

How can I check the firmware/ROM on the Omnia 7?...my Omnia 7 is unbranded from Germany and the "About" section in the settings of my Omnia 7 does not give any info on a build or version number...does anyone know?

@simon marktl:thanks for your feedback...actually 19 faulty units out of 20 sounds quite bad...I would be pleased if you could let us know if the service point could resolve the issue and especially how they did it once you get your device back...

@eqzgkxokwa: I would be pleased if you could let us know about the solution proposed by the Samsung support...thanks (by the way eqzgkxokwa, that´s a tricky nickname :))

@ Phyx and leoms17: I actually use the 2G network 99.9% of the time...but as explained I have the issue regularly....so it is not limited to 3G or 3G+...but if 3G off helps for you it just makes the issue even more curious...I do not think it is due to the network, rather something is going on with the phone...
[Omnia 7 General] leoms17:
in diagnostic screen hit *#1234# you'll get all your info. Firmware ending in JK1 is the latest.
[Omnia 7 General] malin_77:
Thanks leoms17...I may sound stupid but how do I actually get in the "diagnostic screen"?...I did not find it in the menu, so I assume there is some trick...actually I do not want to brick the phone or do something wrong...

Is there no possibility to get a simple info about the firmware without using a crazy code?
[Omnia 7 General] Kostija:
also have this issue, assumed it was a poor signal or something like the death grip. Does not seem to make a difference whether im being called or place the call myself.

I got it several times, suddenly it just goes silent. Holding the phone away from the ear so the diplsay turns on seems to make it work again but not for very long.

I had the original T-mobile Germany branded firmware I8700DTMJJ6, updated to JK1 yesterday, but did not test if its fixed now.

One final idea would be to play around with the volume settings in diag mode, increasing volume for incoming calls or something.

Btw, did anyone notice that there is absolutely no background noise during a call, even if the person is in a noisy environment?
[Omnia 7 General] hr_kaleu:
Yes, I'm on 3G and 3G+

Turning off 3G seems to help a little bit - at least I'm not running into troubles as often as having 3G enabled...
[Omnia 7 General] hr_kaleu:
good morning

as soon as I have a feedback from my provider if the repairing is covered by our warranty contract, I'm going to send in a few more phones to the service point...

of course I will post the results here, but could take a while...

til later

[Omnia 7 General] manny84:
I've had this issue with my Omnia 7 (T-Mobile US) as well. There were a couple instances where I answered a call and was not able to hear the person on the other end.
[Omnia 7 General] hr_kaleu:
just dial ##634#

wait about 2 seconds, than you are in the diag menu

after dialing ##634# you'll find diagnosis on your phone for future use
[Omnia 7 General] hr_kaleu:
I had this issues with the original firmware from my provider (I8700XXJJ3)

and I still have them with

Phone I8700XXJK1

PDA I8700XXJK1

CSC I8700XENJK1

Software on Phone itself is 7.0.7008.0, no NoDo available yet

Maybe the new firmware I8700XXKA1 (January) helps out - but I wasn't able to download it anywhere
[Omnia 7 General] mikaelp74:
Same issues here

I have issues with both modem/robot-calls but lately it's gone from 1/3 of the calls beeing robot to 3/4 of the calls loosing all sound after 20-60 seconds. Robotic cals are not as common. For me I have problem only when I receive calls and never when I make the call.

I have had my Omnia in for service a month ago but the short message from them was that they found no problems. They upgraded the firmware to the latest version but I still have issues as stated above.

My radio hardware version is

0.0.0.2

I have seen posts where radio hardware is much higher. Can the problem be related to old radio hardware?

I am hoping nodo and new firmware from Samsung will fix this but so far I havn't got it.
[Omnia 7 General] eroG:
could you please let me know if you have tried also the update on samsung french site?

have you tried to set the radio to umts or gsm through diagnose mode?
[Omnia 7 General] andrewcsh:
Hi eroG, thanks for the reply...

I've update to I8700XXKI4, it improves the problem a little bit, at least now I could hear the third party who are calling me... But... Now they can't hear me on my end, it is like the mic stop functioning when i receive call.

I've run through a test again,

1) If I call out, everything is fine.

2) ONCE... i receive call, the mic will stop functioning.... Even if i call out, the other end can't hear me.

3) I need to restart my phone again to enable calling out. THE NIGHTMARE START if I receive call....

eroG, I've set the connection to ALL GSM. failed to resolve the issue.

Any other option?? Anyone with solution...? Thank you...
[Omnia 7 General] akuysetiawan:
Is there any solution for this issue? Or everybody just gave up?

Sent from my OMNIA7 using Board Express
[Omnia 7 General] Phyx:
today i was using the speaker phone and i got the silent thing again. but what i noticed was that the signal bars rapidly dropped from full bars to none, and then jump back to full when the audio resumes. I've kept an eye on it and it does this every time, it loses bars then jumps back to full.

So i'm thinking this really is a omnia issue now..
[Omnia 7 General] Kostija:
yep, they do drop, thats why I assumed its some kind of death grip thats killing the signal or interference in the case of modem sounds.

I only experienced it indoors at the same location with thick walls all around.

Maybe its a combination of poor signal and agressive microphone gain levels.
[Omnia 7 General] malin_77:
I have now also checked my rom version and my Omnia 7 came with the latest JK1...but as you know I have the issue...

So i can confirm that the JK1 rom does not resolve the issue...

Regarding the signal drop noted by Phyx and Kostija it is interesting...however I assume that the call does not "really" get dropped because of a loosed signal...since the timer for calltime continues running and I still have the possibility to end the call...

However, after the comment of mikaelp74 I am a bit confused about the rom, the firmware and the radio (software?)...

Are there actually 3 different pieces of software to be uptaded regularly? Should we compare our radio software and/or firmware versions maybe?

Could different radio software and/or firmware versions with the same rom explain that some do not observe this issue?

My apologies if this reasoning does not make any sense...I am actually not a software or electronic expert...

@Kostija: thanks for your input...taking the phone away from my ear did not help for me, the phone stays silent...Can you also confirm that you still get the issue with the latest rom?...regarding the good noise cancellation I remember vaguely I read somewhere that there is a second mic for this...and it is indeed good, at least when it does not suddenly go completely silent;)

@simon marktl: thanks for explaining the diagnosis code Simon...hope you get your unit fixed quickly...

@manny84: thanks for your input...please feel free to participate to the poll if you have not yet voted...

@Phyx: thanks for your input about the signal drop...

@mikaelp74: thanks for your comment...So the Samsung service did update your rom to the latest but not the radio related software (why?)? May I thus assume that the updates are not bundled? Do you know how to update the radio software (as you may see I am not an expert concerning this stuff)?
[Omnia 7 General] leoms17:
I have radio hardware 0.0.0.800, firmware JK1, no problems.

It would be interesting to see if everyone with the issue has a much lower radio HW then.
[Omnia 7 General] Phyx:
Phone I8700XXJK1

PDA I8700XXJK1

CSC I8700XENJK1

radio hardware 0.0.0.800

radio software 2424.10.11.1

and I have the problem frequently.
[Omnia 7 General] Phyx:
I have on occasion had the phone refuse to either end or pickup a call. It would just not respond to button presses. I assumed this was a WP7 bug though.

Well, in my case I don't think it's a deathgrip since I frequently use a handfree with the phone and it's just sitting there on my desk and it still loses the signal.
[Omnia 7 General] hr_kaleu:
same specs - and I have the problems more than frequently...

btw:

HW Revison is 3.15.0.4

Bootloader 4.11.0.3

Chip-Soc 0.36.2.0
[Omnia 7 General] mikaelp74:
As far as I can tell the service center upgraded my firmware... I am not sure if radio software is part of a firmware upgrade or not. The didn't install any new version of WP7 on the phone though and it was over a month ago now so there was no Nodo back then.

What I was asking in my post was if my low number in radio hardware might be the cause of the problem since it's not uncommon that it's hardware related when you buy the first batch of a new model.

Since @Phyx have the problem with newer radio hardware we can only hope that it's software related and might be fixed.

I read on a swedish blog that one Samsung Omnia 7 owner thinks his problems with dropped volume during calls disapeared after upgrading to nodo. If someone can confirm this it would be great.
[Omnia 7 General] pik.:
anybody using the 16GB model?

can you please say the country of origin?

thanks
[Omnia 7 General] leoms17:
Germany. They're the only ones who sell. Got mine at handyattacke.de (got the hint here at XDA).
[Omnia 7 General] Phyx:
I've been thinking, don't the focus and the omnia have the same hardware? except for the NAND memory. But does the focus have the same issue? and if not, I'm wondering what it's software versions are.
[Omnia 7 General] Kostija:
All problems I came across on my omnia could also be found on the focus like sound stutter while playing .wma, notification stutter, marketplace freeze and so on.

However, regarding this particular issue I havent heared anything from the focus people.
[Omnia 7 General] malin_77:
Thanks again for all your inpput...

So as far as I understand the issue is not resolved by the JK1 firmware. Moreover, it seems not related to the radio hardware, since it occurs both with older and newer radio hardware...

However, it could be related to the radio software...it seems confirmed that it happens with radio software 2424.10.11.1

Could someone not experiencing the call issue post his radio software version, so that we can compare? Is it also 2424.10.11.1 ?

mikealp74 stated that the call issue could be resolved with the NoDo update.

Does someone already have the update? Can someone confirm that the NoDo update resolves the call issue or at least check if the NoDo update brings a new firmware and/or radio software?

Concerning the brother device Focus mentioned by Phyx and Kostija, does someone know which radio software version the focus uses?

@leoms17: As you are not experiencing the call issue, could you check and post your radio software version? Is it also 2424.10.11.1 ?
[Omnia 7 General] leoms17:
Yes, that's the software update that comes with JK1
[Omnia 7 General] malin_77:
Thanks leoms17...actually I did not understand that the radio software came together with the JK1 firmware...

Anyway, since we have both the same software and the same hardware running at this point, while some have the issue and others do not...I personnally start to believe that the issue is likely related to faulty hardware...

However, lets hope that the NoDo update with a new firmware will help to resolve the issue...

If someone can confirm that the NoDo update resolves the call issue do not hesitate post...thanks in advance...
[Omnia 7 General] hr_kaleu:
Hi all,

just updated to NoDo (with the Get the NoDo Update right now! thread from the Windows Phone 7 General section in Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking)

Will post later if the issues are resolved or even if they do not appear as often as before

simon
[Omnia 7 General] leoms17:
Here's the link to the actual thread.

I updated yesterday as well. Firmware version is unchanged, only the OS is updated. So if this doesn't solve the problem it may as well be solved flashing to a newer samsung firmware (KA1) when it's made available. That one has an earlier NoDo build, so the zune will anyhow update to the march NoDo release.

Hope this gets better for those of you having problems!
[Omnia 7 General] Phyx:
Just forced my update too. Will let you guys know if this fixes it for me, but doubt it will untill samsung releases a new firmware.
[Omnia 7 General] hr_kaleu:
a short update:

after the nodo update I had no calling issues so far - but I only had about 20 incoming calls and about 15 outgoing calls...

didn't get the robot/modem thing since nodo

maybe it was fixed???

anyone else?
[Omnia 7 General] Phyx:
Well, first call I made, same issue. So for me this is not fixed unfortunately.
[Omnia 7 General] mikaelp74:
Same here... I still get robot-calls and silenced calls after Nodo. I probably have to send the phone to Samsung service center again and this time they either have to replace the phone or fix it. I still only have problem when receiving calls and haven't got that many calls since I uppgraded but 1/4 is robotic and 1/2 loose sound after 20 seconds.
[Omnia 7 General] Phyx:
I'm thinking that this isn't a hardware issue but a firmware problem. It's the reason I'm so interested to find out of the focus has the same issues and at what version the focus is at.
[Omnia 7 General] alessandrissimo:
same for me!omnia7 after Nodo update!the signal drops!
[Omnia 7 General] mikaelp74:
Mobile Operator

Hi

I happened to stumble upon a thread at the Telia forum (Swedish mobile operator) where it is noted that in Sweden this is a problem only on Telia and not on other operators. The thread has alot mot action then this thread and Telia and Samsung have tried to recreate the problem without success.

Just an update since I guess maybe some of you with this problem maybe should contact both Samsung and your operator and ask the to work this out. Hopefully if this is solved in Sweden for instance Samsung will know what to do on other networks. The same goes the other way. If this is solved elsewhere Samsung and Telia will work it out

/Mikael P
[Omnia 7 General] malin_77:
Thanks for that information mikaelp74 ...

Since we are running the same hardware with the same software, while some have the issue and others do not...

I now believe it is either related to some faulty hardware components or to a software bug which requires a specific set of conditions to show up...so these conditions could also be related to the carrier...

It is also interresting that there is very little information/action related to this issue, while according to the poll about 50 % of the Samsung Omnia 7 users are experiencing this issue...

Do people/manufacturers not care anymore about plain and simple phone calls these days?
[Omnia 7 General] leoms17:
How can you be sure that the pole is accurate? People who don't come across this issue won't be looking for threads like this either... Just a handful of people have voted.
[Omnia 7 General] malin_77:
I have read the thread on the Telia (Swedish carrier) forum that mikealp74 has pointed out (thanks to google translate) and as far as I understand they are reporting that the issue happens only with Telia simcards and they believe that the issue may be related with some standards not supported by the carrier...

This reminded me that I also had issues with my simcard...I could not import contacts from the simcard (option was greyed and not selectable) although they were contacts on the simcard (I could see and edit them with other phones)...however I did not care since the contacts were added from my live account...

Nevertheless, now I am wondering if this issue could simply the be related to an "old" simcard not supporting the newest standards?

Are others who experience this issue able to import contacts from their simcard?

Are all people experiencing this issue on the same carriers? Could people experiencing this issue post their carrier?

I am in Belgium and I use Proximus as a carrier...

@leoms17: I actually did not even realize that may statement could have suggested that 50% of all Samsung Omnia 7 users on earth are experiencing this issue...I did not want to suggest something like that...because of course I do not know about the big picture...however the formulation used may have been a little misleading...all I wanted to say was that it is interesting that according to the poll about 50% of the users (who voted) and thus at least a healthy 14 out of 24 users (nearly five hands full) are experiencing this issue, while far less then 14 seemed worried about this issue or are posting on the topic or are calling Samsung as well as their carrier...
[Omnia 7 General] alessandrissimo:
My phone is branded 3Italy but I'm using a vodafone sim!
[Omnia 7 General] leoms17:
That only means that you have a branded, but unlocked phone. What we need is the Vodafone SIM Italy part. That one's giving you problems (assuming the problem is SIM related)

I may suggest that everyone states Carrier's name and country and wether or not they experience the problem? Eventually how old (approx) the card is. That way we can see if there's any correlation.
[Omnia 7 General] hr_kaleu:
Here we go:

Provider: A1 Telekom Austria

Simcard: Year 2006

Had this issues heavily on my device

But I've to say, that even simcards from year 2006 to 2010 have these problems in our company...

After the NoDo Update I just had a silenced line once.
[Omnia 7 General] mikaelp74:
This is the link to the swedish forum that we are talking about

https://forum.tewss.telia.se/topic/2712-skumma-ljud-problem-med-omnia-7-och-telia/

What some in the thread thinks is that the problem is handover between 3G and GPRS/GSM or something like that. Some have use diagnostics to lock to the 3G network and that seems to help. I locked my phone to 3G yesterday and so far the few calls I have got have worked without problem. This should help Samsung / Operators pinpoitning the error I hope but so far no response from them.

In the thread some have given Telia their phonenumber and pointed out specifik times when there was a problem. Telia have sent the logs to Samsung that are hopefully looking at the logs to find out what might be the problem.
