[Omnia 7 General] VoodooKing:
Yes, its broken that's why the phone enters rebooting loop.

Holding down Camera key while turning on the phone is the correct combination to enter USB-Connect to PC download mode.
[Omnia 7 General] oomniia7:
I believe it is holding VOLUME UP + CAMERA + POWER BUTTON... not just camera + power..
[Omnia 7 General] VoodooKing:
Volume UP + Camera + Power = Samsung Download Mode

Camera + Power = USB > PC Mode

Do your research first.
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
This is correct. Camera and Power definitely = USB -> PC Mode

Hello

I am completely lost on what to do now.

I have reflashed the phone using I8700 XEN I8700XENJK1 and the phone still just shows the samsung omnia 7 screen then goes black then shows it again. I have tried the windows phone tool but that doesn't recognize the phone. I have tried the patch from samsung and that loads but still boot problem. I can get the phone into download mode and also get it into pc-connect mode. I have also done a restore. But nothing has worked and still samsung logo just looping.

I am starting to think this is not a hardware problem. It is actually my wifes phone. And it just automatically reset itself one day and now doesn't work.

Any suggestions would be great. The phone won't be in warranty so if there is somewhere to send to get fixed I don't mind trying that.
[Omnia 7 General] KraFT_mk:
1. To get your Omnia7 into Download mode:

Phone off and:

- Press and hold the Camera button;

- Press and hold the Volume DOWN (-) button;

- Press and hold the Power button;

- Release the power button when you see white Samsung Omnia7 Logo on your screen.

You have entered Omnia7 download mode.

Note:

(On lots of places you will find out that "VOLUME UP" is correct button but this is not the case with my SO7.)

2. To get your Omnia7 into "USB ---to----> PC" mode.

Phone off and:

- Press and hold the Camera button;

- Press and hold the Power button;

- Release the power button when you see white Samsung Omnia7 Logo on your screen.

You have entered with your Omnia7 into "USB ---to----> PC" mode.

I have the same problem, My phone is locked to three Ireland, the samsung update fixer tool doesn't work,

Tried flashing Firmware from samfirmware.com and both finished with the same code

[Channel 0] FLASH LOCK

Could the tool for fixing it be "locked out" of fixing it?

i get into the download mode by pressing VOL UP + Camera and connecting the usb lead, and VOL Down + Camera for formatting the phone.

How do you remove the FLASH LOCK?

EDIT - Nevermind.. The Flash Lock is unlocked to flash and Relocked when flashing is finished. I have the 5.3.0.4 Bootloader but still cannot get into the USB to PC mode

EDIT 2 - Right I got the update to install, I flashed the phone back to original stock using this guide on winrumours

http://www.winrumors.com/got-a-bricked-samsung-omnia-7-windows-phone-heres-the-fix/

Then started the update process all over again and now its on step 8 - installing updates. Phone is still SIM locked but now seems unbranded (no three splashscreen, no three app etc) . Makes me wonder for the mango update, Will we get mango now earlier because its not "branded" as the non carrier phones got the updates first?

Also I am now on the 4.11.0.3 bootloader

LAST EDIT (3) - I am now fully updated to the 7392, Seems if you flash back to RTM and start again everything will go ok, but setting everything back up is part of the fun with new ROMS,
[Omnia 7 General] ManGastaS:
still waiting...

I still waiting for an official solution from microsoft or samsung, until now someone knows if they solve the problem?
[Omnia 7 General] zenfreddy:
Thanks! Helped meh
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
Latest for us poor lost souls on Orange

... what an absolute joke. So they aren't even close to it being released. We have no chance of getting Mango do we.
[Omnia 7 General] Forzahibs:
These are for the Galaxy S but would they fix the unable to get into download mode problem for the Omnia 7 ?

I feel debranding coming on rather than this hassle every time

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/samsung-galax..._MobilePhoneDataCables_JN&hash=item231116c3ea
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
Should do yeh. All i did was go into Maplins and bought 1 x 300k Ohm resistor and 1 x 1k Ohm resistor and made my own. It cost me .48p and worked first time.

Seriously considering de-branding my phone too.
[Omnia 7 General] Forzahibs:
Oh i've got the resistors but can't see the bloody pins inside the socket :mad:

Thought i read something about the Galaxy pins being the other way round (or were they just numbered the other way ?)
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
It is a bit tricky. If you angle it right with some good light you can see the pins though. There are some plastic lugs in there that almost guide the resistor pins into place.

I think I got mine into download mode on the second attempt after poking for about 10 seconds.

If you are looking at the phone with the screen facing towards you it is the two pins on the far right that you want.

The guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1092824 is pretty good. Like I say I was able to do it no problem and apply the Samsung patch since I thought I was going to need it.
[Omnia 7 General] vicie:
I have a question. It says, volume down, but when I use those 3 buttons, it asks me whether I want to format it?

Why, does it (or has it been asked)
[Omnia 7 General] chemeng:
For some people VolUp works, for others VolDown

For my headset,

after

the USB-Jig trick, my combinations are:

Download mode

: VolUp + Cam + PwrOn

Format mode: VolDwn + Cam + PwrOn

USB-2-PC mode: Cam + PwrOn

Before

the USB-Jig mode, I couldn't of course enter Download mode with any button combo, and VolUp + Cam + PwrOn entered the device in USB-2-PC mode.

Remember that you keep all three buttons pressed till you see the Samsung Omnia logo screen, then you release the Power key but keep pressing the Volume and Camera. you finally release them after you enter the desired mode.
[Omnia 7 General] hungelt8:
I used to encounter the issue you mentioned, I got ERROR when I tried to update my OMNIA 7. I can't get into Download mode (BL 4.10. something), but I tried to update my phone via Zune software 3 times, it succeed. So try few more times and you will be able update your phone. USB JIG is not needed.
[Omnia 7 General] Forzahibs:
I received the jig i bought in Ebay today so i think i'll have a go at debranding tonight . Can anyone tell me what i'm likely to lose on my phone (contacts , photos etc) please ?
[Omnia 7 General] chemeng:
Debranding involves flashing a generic unbranded ROM, and flashing a ROM means losing everything (contacts, sms, mms, files). I don't know though what the backup options are beforehand but flashing a rom erases everything permanently.
[Omnia 7 General] Forzahibs:
Debranded no problem thanks to the excellent guide , immediately upgraded to 7392 . Does this mean i'll get Mango quicker ?
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
Most likely yes. Unbranded devices get sent the updates first.

Please ask questions in THIS thread

DO NOT I REPEAT

DO NOT

ASK QUESTIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION,This just proves how stupid you are.

[Legend Android Development] Asovse1:
I wonder if the amount of questions (in development) will decrease if we had a Q&A forum like the other devices...
[Legend Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Hehe.. that's kind of a question.. ;)
[Legend Android Development] bonesy:
Better it be in here than taing up more space in development forums!
[Legend Android Development] alexhtclegend:
It probably would! Often people ask a question about rooting, roms etc and think they should put it in development if they don't realise the rules, so a Q&A section would help with that. Not sure if its possible though, I don't even know who would be responsible for it.
[Legend Android Development] Dr.Romca:
I already tried to contact our moderator here both about this mess and about the one in DS section, but so far no answer :( I guess they are super busy...

official Roms

hi

thanks for your good job for legend.

i want to ask you question about official Rom that you prepare for legend, what is the basic and mainly different between these 4 official rom?

my legend build number is "3.30.466.6 CL326573 release-key" and with this software number: "3.30.466.6", so what is the different between my ROM and those 4 ROM that you prepare?!!!

thanks for your response
[Legend Android Development] Asovse1:
What?! Why is that in this thread?!

If you need to contact someone personally, PM them, there's no rules against that. If you need to discuss something on-topic, find the suitable thread and discuss/search/or if necessary, revive it!

IF YOU NEED TO ASK A QUESTION, THIS REALLY ISN'T, ISN'T, ISN'T THE RIGHT PLACE TO DO IT.

AND THAT WAS THE WORST POSSIBLE KIND TOO. This thread here is STICKIED to inform how and where to ask a question. PROPERLY. It's clear that you haven't read the OP. At all.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbl03:
How do you view the contents and folders inside? Kies is absolutely useless software, and Windows 7 can't seem to figure out what it is either. Specifically, how do you add music/video on it without using Kies or that Tunesync app with iTunes?

When I change the USB Connection to Mass Storage Device, Windows can't recognize the device, and nothing shows up.

EDIT: Had to change the connection to Media Player... odd.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Can't wait until late summer when this is released to the public!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
But can I save my camera settings?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
They haven't released any info on that yet. Maybe on the 24th they will say something.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Greg2k:
It's lists like these that remind me how awesome this release is going to be. Every little feature is very welcome. Can't wait!
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Finally starting to look like a smartphone. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mestiphal:
this is a great great post, can we make it a sticky so dotcompt can update as new info comes along?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
All these 'feature' enhancements are useless if you cant keep your phone switched on for more than 8 hours.. I leave my home in morning at 10 AM fully charged and by time its 4PM my battery looses all its candles and by the time I get back home at like 6PM it starts giving me 'Critical battery level' warning.. and all this when I dont even use WIFI or listen to music.. just use it to store appointments check email and market rates and read news and check weather updates.. over 3G.. all day long I am always praying god, plz dont switch off my phone.. coz once it switches off its a pain in ass to charge it back again to the retstart level.. even once it reaches restart level I cant use my phone for next 30 mins and just let it sit and charge.. if I try to even send a text it immidiately switches off and another long wait follows..

With all these new feature and flipping of live tiles and multi-tasking which will be using some sort of cache to store your recently used applications, push notifications for third party apps, I am worried it might drain down my battery more..

These feature are great and wonderful.. their have been no other phone which has been as smart as this one in human history, but the 'Battery Enhancement' feature is most critical for me.

Or atleast in future release some new WP7 devices with greater battery capacity.. I would be more than willing to sell my Omnia for any new WP7 that comes out with a greater 'lithium?' capacity..

And BTW when was the last time we saw a new WP7 device coming to the market from manufacturers?? 6-8 months back.. that ASUS phone have been floating around since forever. I dont know when the heck will they release that phone in market.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Smartphones and chargers go together these days. You'll rarely find anybody, including many businessmen, who don't have a charger available everywhere they go. Especially considering the size of a lot of these WP7 screens, the battery is exceptional. I use the phone non-stop. I'm a Twitter addict, I use well over 13,000 texts a month, I make calls, etc and my battery lasts me the entire day. On days I use Netflix or constantly stream music I need to charge it on the go obviously, but other than that, it's fine. And I have the biggest screen of them all.

Also, about the camera settings... I really hope "saving" them is optional, because I actually agree with Microsoft and this whole reverting back to default stance. I don't want to open up the camera and have to disable a filter that I set the previous use... I really don't.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Red Grenadine:
If battery life is that big of an issue for you, buy a charger for work as well as a spare battery for travel.

I have two batteries for my Focus, so if I'm traveling on a long trip and blow out one battery I can just pop another in. Also I have the option to charge it at work when needed
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
I use European phone in US, even though Expansys did sent me a plug to convert the charger but my wall charger dosent charge my phone at all.. thats why they gave me a free car charger as a note of 'apologises'... i dont drive so I dont know if that car charger works or not..

As for the USB cable of my Omnia I can see how small it is built so that i can carry it with me all the time.. but the thing is USB cable too dosent really charges your phone and just perhaps keep it away from discharging more power... the only time USB cable charges your phone is when you have zune running and cable hooked in.. someone can test this.. because sometimes at night when I plugged in my USB and hibernated my laptop in morning I wake up to see the same or less battery level, but not fully charged or more than when I left it in plugged.. when I leave my laptop running with zune running it fully charges in 8 hour or so..

I am not sure if its like that for others, but my battery level dosent rise if I plug in the USB to a computer without zune or to a comp with zune but in hibernate mode..
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
I've heard that from a few people, I personally I have never charged any phone through a USB port... Just don't like to, so I can't really give you my input. But, if your phone is dying that fast with as minimal usage as you say, maybe something else is up, because a lot of users have actually praised the battery life. I'm also fortunate that I have chargers everywhere I go, your situation is a bit more complicated though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Can this discussion be taken to a more appropriate thread? It's an important topic, but it doesn't really have anything to do with the discussion of upcoming Mango features.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
I think your phone is borked. My Focus had great battery life, and my HTC Arrive will go two days with emails checking every 15, both data/wifi, tons of internet, some music, and gaming, etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] UbiMaiden:
The problem is data connection. If i disable it, i can use my phone for 3-4 days without recharging.

And you can recharge phone trough USB (no Zune), but it takes long time.

WM6-6.5 disconnect data connection if not in use, don`t know why can`t they make it like thad.
[Windows Phone 7 General] GuestK00306:
15 posts in and we're at battery life already? Battery life is fine. Omnia hits battery far harder than any of the HTCs I've used but I can use my pro 7 at work all day taking calls, go out running for 1.5hrs that night with endomondo running and listening to music and it will still last me through the morning. My HD2 would have kerploded.

as for the little title at the top of this page - I cannot wait. APIs are gonna be huge and I can't wait to see the different apps created as a result. IE will be a massive boost too with HTML5 support.

Sent from my 7 Pro T7576 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dj21o:
Do you like your 7 pro? I have an Evo, but that is the only sprint WP7 available (as you know) right now.. My upgrade is coming up in August, and idk if I should hold out for a different WP7 (mango ready).

Sorry op, I know I am off topic, but I want some good information on the phone. :)

Wont happen again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ms79723:
I had an Evo...still kinda have it in my possession (gave it to my mom) and now i have the Arrive. Its pretty insane. Battery life is much better...and the feel. WP7 just has that feel too it...the screen seems silky smooth...so responsive. The keyboard is pretty insane too, nice thing to use in the sunlight. Smaller screen but going from the Evo to the Arrive...you'll type so fast on the Arrive it'd be ridiculous.

But by the time its August hopefully there will be newer phones...whether or not those phones will have better specs on Sprint...i'm not sure. I'm still kinda new to this whole WP7 thing. Thats why I love this thread...everyone said Mango would be huge but I just had no idea...
[Windows Phone 7 General] DAVIZINHO:
I see in one video, that in mango you can search one app of your app list with a "search button".

They includen a organizacion based in alfabethical name with leters (like contacts hub).

This is a BAD method (for me) because with a large list of aplication you dont remember the name of aplication. In other cases the name is not intuitive (example: flory for gtalk cliente).

The posibility of create forlders (or cathegories) will be better than this "order" method.

I cand belive that microsoft don´t think on it!
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
As probably this Mango will not introduce any kind of file explorer

And probably no Bluetooth transfer of files,

What do we know about:

* Multiple docs send in one email (instead of idiotic one doc per email)

* Docs transfer by Zune

* Outlook desktop sync?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
I bet the HTC guys get the Mango love first.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
4 Weeks?

Wow, if MS could do that, they will definitely be redeemed for NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dj21o:
Maybe before Mango, I didn't check. But I did see a video yesterday with all of the new features of WP7, and it beat the browser in Android. The phones were all side by side, and Android did get 2nd.

Android is open sourced, with room for developers. Google stays with the same apps, and just throws it all together. Microsoft is changing the way they do things to get the most experience out of the phone. Google should learn from them if anything.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Ok Google sucks. Move on please.

This whole integrated thing is so new, and hasn't been done before.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
More important

Im not really feeling the thread thing.

I hope I can permanently block windows live messenger on the phone and only use facebook chat... but this seems not very likely as it is now.

Im not looking forward to being online 24/7 on msn, since its an old account from when I was younger. Deleting all my contacts will also remove their email adresses which I do need.

I also see you can receive notifications, are these facebook notifications? And can you finally send a Facebook private message trough the phone? Since there is an option to send a message in the Me hub. I hope so, that would be great.

Then we just need to hack the **** of the thread hub to force showing offline on msn and just online on FB. :D since I assume you can not receive fb messages when appearing offline??

Common people lets discuss the new WP7 features, there are plenty. Flash is a bummer yes, but they probably have there reasons for it (bad battery life/freezing up the UI/etc.)

Im looking forward to the improved coding for 3rd party controlls (finally smooth scrolling on listboxes!! No more slow performance on 3rd party apps!!) well done MS well done...
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
are you sure we won't be able to independently select online or offline for individual accounts? I don't have any IM accounts at all, don't use them or want to use them, but I do have a live account, obviously, and that means that I have a messenger account too, by default, right? I have no interest in having that activated...
[Windows Phone 7 General] dotcompt:
first post updated
[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
So far they only showed a unified status, online, busy, appear offline and offline. However what if I permanently want to be offline with messenger bc I dont care about msn anymore, but do want to be online or active on facebook? I have not seen this in the demo vids, but I hope this will be possible :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] niftytechster101:
I've gone to Engadget, Slashgear, Inotmobile, you name it but all almost everyone is saying Mango is nothing but underwhelming, umm isnt there over 500 features? We have only gotten 3 from the preview event. I still hope this update is larger then life i really want to see some more customization to the platform
[Windows Phone 7 General] dotcompt:
Have you read the first post?
[Windows Phone 7 General] tricsio:
Mango looks great from what Microsoft has shown. Proof of concept will be for the endusers to appreciate the added-features and put them to use.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Knochen1981:
dont know if its already mentioned

according to this german mango presentation

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0om8V03LkdI

the camera settings can be changed and saved

new informations about battery (percentage) and new battery saver, wich turns off unneeded background tasks if battery gets low

more than one calendar can sync (at least over windows live and exchange maybe more ?)

new exchange tasks sync build into the calendar

videos can be uploaded and shared

on the fly ocr (text recognition) (the text can be copied over to word or can be translated on the fly xD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WERWFXQqgZo&feature=related at 1:26 shown)

Thats all new ive seen in the video
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Nice find. That translation looks very nice. Good to hear on the Video sharing / uploading as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I hope the to-do list also supports Google tasks as well (I don't speak German, so I have no idea if it is mentioned in the video ;)).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Knochen1981:
Not mentioned... Maybe, maybe not

If you can set up your googlemail as a exchange (dont know if possible) it should work
[Windows Phone 7 General] wbadry:
I guess Mango update will be a great shift with much functionality like improved Facebook integration and Contacts grouping.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Sweet! Mango just keeps looking better and better.

One gripe I do have is that it now appears that even more very useful and frequently accessed stuff is getting buried inside settings.

I hate having to go through so many swipes, taps and scrolls, just to turn WiFi or Airplane Mode on or off, and now we'll have to do the same just to see the battery percentage. We really need these things to be in a simple, single-layer app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
And did anyone else notice the very cool new Contact history pane? I am really looking forward to that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tfouto:
i cant see the camera settings saved. Does he mention that? I dont understand german :).
[Windows Phone 7 General] sdnsilva:
Any mention of the GPS turn-by-turn or Ringtone support? sorry is that do not understand German and I have not seen in anything shown on videos.:cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
With Mango you can save settings (supposedly)
