SamsungOmniaProblems-ActiveSync/SoftkeyMenus/KeyboardChanges/XButton/LargeTitleBar

A couple of questions for Samsung or Omnia users.

1. The keyboard, is it possible to default it to the windows mobile keyboard. The settings tab doesnt change it when selected.

2. Active sync doesnt seem to work with Outlook 2003 in Windows XP. My HTC devices all work like clockword with Active sync 4.5 but the Samsung hangs. There are plenty of complaints on this on the internet forums.

3. The softkey menus in programs, is there a way of using the default windows text size instead of the Samsung extra large fonts. Its slightly pointless having a big screen with bigger fonts.

4. Is it possible as with the HTC to set the x button on programs to end the program when tapped instead of running the program in the background.

5. Is there a version of HTC's large title bar app available that will work on the Omnia

These may be aspects to consider by Samsung on a software upgrade, but if anyone can assist, this could make the device a great handset.

Questions about i900 ?

Hi All

I Have Some Questions :

1- Where we can get update for i900 (e.g Themes,Programs,ROM,etc) ?

2- is There Anyway to Stretch 240*320 Programs To i900 Size To Better Performance ?

3- Where Is the Static Forum for i900 OMNIA In XDA ?

Thanks So Much

With Best Regards
[Off-topic] Lynehammike:
1. Yes, you should be able to edit the registry key to force the basic keyboard as the default. see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=325385

2. I have never had any probs with ActiveSync 4.5, but I don't use Outlook.

3 I couldn't find any registry entries for it.

4. Not with the default task manager. Try WKTask or Magic Button or Tbar. All of these give the same functionality (WKTask is my preferred manager http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html).

5. I don't think there is a functional version.

1. Best source is www.modaco.com in the samsung i900 forum. There a lots of ROMs and discussion of programs.

2. It will vary from program to program. Over at modaco, some programs have already been adjusted for you to download. However, if there are particular programs, look in the \Program Files\Program Name directory for either an "ini" or "xml" file which could specify the screen resoultion. Alternatively, check for the picture files (jpg, png etc) and adjust those to fit.

3. There is none - this topic is as good as it gets.

Settings menu disappeared

Hi people, today I decided to upgrade the firmware since I had the following problem with the Settings menu: each time I clicked it, the phone rebooted..

So, I upgraded the firmware and installed all those apps that I was using BEFORE I had the "settings problem" and everything seemed fine..... BUT now, after a reboot, if I click on the settings button in the start menu, nothing happens... Does any of you have a solution to this problem? I tried to explore the windows directory to find the shortcuts that appear within the Settings menu, but I could not find anything :(

Thank you in advance for any help..

EDIT: I hard-resetted the device and reinstalled my programs.. This time, when I clicked settings I got a windows error saying that controlpanel crashed and looking through the error details I've noticed that the problem was due to iContact.cpl (I've forgot that some days ago I removed iContact Burt Edition and installed the "standard" iContact application), which was installed in My Storage instead of in the internal storage... I removed iContact and reinstalled it in the internal storage and the Control Panel problem disappeared :)

Strange question. Why wouldn't you hang out a couple of weeks for the Touch HD?

I like the Omnia a lot, its a smart phone and the widgets are cute. The new firmware for the Omnia makes it a really solid phone. However, samsungs lack of support for the Widgets really puts me off recommending this phone.

The Touch HD has amazing specs - its like the Omnia on Steroids.

I bought my Omnia 3 days before the HD was announced. If I had of know I probably would have waited for the HD.
[Off-topic] Monty Burns:
maybe like me and others, he's had a bad experience of being an early adopter of HTC gear and would prefer something thats had a few firmware/cooked updates.

Almost certainly, i will never buy another HTC device, let alone a new model. Think you know where my money has been spent ;):D

(yes I also had a TD which has now been returned to the shop as its "not fit for purpose")

edit: and the widgets? That whole today screen setup is a consumer screen designed to make it easy for non-winmob people. Have you tried Today 2? Far more effective and usefull.... and no gimmick widgets either ;-)
[Off-topic] efjay:
Personally I dont think the Touch HD is that much better than the Omnia - granted the screen is obviously better but what else does it have over the Omnia? The Omnia has the advantage of having up to 16Gb of onboard storage AND a microSD slot as well giving you up to 32GB storage total. That for me makes the Omnia the better choice.

Omnia vs. Touch Pro

Thanks for the comments

First I love HTC , they made the best WM phones in my opinion.

But in my country, HTC is very expensive.

Samsung is much more cheaper

For your information

htc pro : 1300usd

htc diamond : 1000usd

samsung omnia: 670usd

But I will be in the UK next month, and planning to buy from there

(UK citizens , where can I buy at lowest prices over the net or from a shop?)

But Omnia's price is acceptable locally and warranty is more affective
[Off-topic] Lynehammike:
OK - so our omnia has a few advantages, like the storage and the camera with flash. But I would have preferred the 3.8 inch WVGA screen and the masses of RAM and internal storage. I dont think the Omnia takes very good photos with the flash - so the flash isn't a major benefit. The build in storage is great - but with 16 gig micro SD cards out - I would have been happy with that as my storage! Oh - and the 3.5 mm headphone jack would have been an excellent feature too!

@ Alpercan: Not sure why you asked the question if you had made up your mind solely based on cost!!! You can pick up the Touch Diamond much cheaper than that on ebay. When I was buying - the Omnia and the Diamond were roughly the same price.
[Off-topic] Monty Burns:
You can pick it up very cheap on ebay.co.uk or www.play.com or www.expansys.com

I have to agree with Mike though, why bother asking if cost is the biggest factor?

btw Mike, I have heard a rumour of a new Omnia available now in the far east with an 800 screen. Now, having owned (and flashed) many HTC devices, I can only hope that the new Omnia is as stable as the current model - unlike HTC devices which are far from stable until at least 6 months into there life, in my experience.

Also, if a 3.5" headphone jack is of primary concern then you really shouldn't be looking at these types of phones or maybe, look a little harder (they are about £2 on ebay ;)

As the screen res is small, this has two major benefits: 1 - it uses far less cpu to flip screens (combine this with its turbo processor and you have a fast as feck device!) and 2 - it uses less battery power. Owning a TD with Swiftblade rom (i've tried others) I can honestly say that for me, the Omnia is a spanking device and far outweighs the TD.
[Off-topic] new2city:
After my experience with what happened to my bro, whom I recommended the Omnia, I tend to recommend the HD to people who are around their 40s as the higher resolution of the HD plays an important part for people with long sightedness....

He told me even the Diamond looks clearer for him...

Size is not as important as resolution for these people..

Voice speed dial and BT Handsfree

I found this old post on XDA:

"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = "OEMAGW.dll"

And on every posts i found, there are written exactly the same string. That is why i didn't try to modificate it. But instead this it should be:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = "\windows\OEMAGW.dll"

Now i don't know why it is not like this by default...on my experiences, if the "\windows\" part is missing, the registry keys in: "HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\" have no meanings." http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1570792&postcount=522

[Off-topic] emresumengen:
Actually, for older people, size would be the main consideration, at least more than "resolution". Why? Because, the resolution on the HD is four times Omnia's but the screen is not four times bigger (it's just 3.8" vs. 3.2"). So the same text would be much more visible (and readable) in Omnia's screen.

Diamond is not even comparable, just try to see the same image (400x400 pixels for ex.) on both. Diamond would be able to display it in full screen, but the physical display would be much smaller when compared to other devices.

I believe the higher res. models are keen eyes :). I have an Omnia but also like the HD...

ok I bought my omnia because of the size and the 5mp camera but I was really disappointed with the interface I dont know if it is an isolated problem but there are several problems on my phone after one week I had to hard reset twice already many programs don't work including skyfire which is the best browser out there. I had managed to get a "free" version of tom tom 6 for my Hermes and that wont work either add that to the gps lag and dysfunctionality cant even get live search to work properly don't know what com port to assign to it. I can not transfer files from my macbook through bluetooth something that is easy with my hermes. If I activate samsung today 1 on my today screen the internet and phonebook links are dead they banish every time I click on them. there are no keys to assign different programs like I had on my Hermes neither can play simple games like tetris and other games that I paid for. also before I forget I tried fixing the gps problem and reading other forums they recommend installing port splitter v 1.20 and doing some tweaks then I had a message saying there was a problem with control panel exe and the settings link on the start menu died, that was the second time it happened in one week. I had to get pocket toolman to do that function instead, just for a day cuz then I did a hard reset. one last problems I found, is that you can't finger scroll which is ridiculous it is a touch screen phone. I cant even get to my last favorite contacts on the list on samsung today 2. The 5mp camera is not really that good there are many sttings that you can play with but picture quality not impressive. opera browser buggy is and slow as hell I prefer opera mini ten times better. the one good thing is that it actually streams media files so if you open the m.youtube website you can actually watch the videos. so I know this is long maybe many of this problems have been addressed before maybe there are new roms out there maybe I jus have to wait for an upgrade but I don't know how much support we will get from this forum and I don't feel like waiting and being frustrated also im on at&t and cant even get 3G so I will put it on ebay it is a 8gb one if I can get $490 for it I will be happy will lose money but is better than losing my patience and throwing it in the river. thinking about getting a n96 and forgetting about WinMO and wasting my time trying to get the best out of this devices my grades in school are dangerously bad already I lost interest in other things this forum is addictive and I'm going crazy. I'll be back with a link for the auction.

Update your rom.....

Really man, thats one long paragraph - but I get your point that your not happy.

Before selling your Omnia - I strongly recommend that you update your ROM. The later ROMs have much much better finger scrolling, and it is extremely easy to update to the new roms (though not without risk). Just make sure you follow the instructions ! :)

At modoco.com, there are a range of ROMs, some which maintain the Touchwiz others which have dumped Touchwiz for the Manila 2D interface. Whichever you choose - you will certainly get a better experience.

As much as I covet the Touch HD - there are a range of areas which the Omnia is superior. The camera is pretty good - but you do have to choose the right settings for good results. The Smart Reader is amazing and has blown a few of my friends away. The Media capabilities are great without any third party software. The haptic feedback is really well implemented and is great to use.

For TT6 - I use it with GPSProxy and they work perfectly together. What bugs are you facing with Opera? I haven't had any problems with it (one I changed the cache to the storage card).

I don't think there is a perfect phone out there, but if you update your ROM and overlay the Manila 2D interface on the omnia, you will end up with a really solid device!

I have a 8G I900 too, but I feel a bit better than edwincito0_1, i get the IGO8 work on i900, it is not too bad, but I have a few points agree with you, the firmware on the phone, you have to upgrade to the latest version. and it dose solve some problems, 3G is not work on the I900 and most HTC phone, becasue the 3G MHZ that is different USA & Asia. unless you get a dual 3G phone like X1, also the phone is a bit slow response. i do like edwincito0_1 before, I almost sell the phone, but think about there is no perfect phone out there, so far I feel if you are on T-mobile network i will suggest you use the G1 phone, the 3G is lighting fast when you browse the internet.

Trust me you will like the G1.

Also after you update the firmware on the I900, you will like it a bit better and try the IGO8, you will like the I900 more.

Don't waste the money, I will keep the phone for now, and wait for either the HTC HD or NVIDIA phone. do a google search. This is the two phone I am waiting for. The X1 is way too expensive.

I am travel at Asia now, the i900 price on the used market drop all the way down, almost loss half of the price.

Hi,

Just wanna comment and maybe help you on your Omnia.

Some of the functions that you mentioned thats not working on Omnia are fine on my Omnia.

I upgraded to the new official firmware from samsung and it solves some of the bugs like the WIFI connections.

Much more better is if you will used other cooked Roms.

Here is the link, you can read all the posts, and almost 98% of the member are really very happy on their Omnia's now.

http://www.modaco.com/content/i900-...illa2d-with-flashlite-3-1-and-uc-dthj9-m2d03/

even if the 3rd party software is not design on QVGA, some softwares are still working. compares with the price and the functionality of other PDA's out there, Omnia still is cost effective. can almost do anything at a cheap price.

Those programs are stored in ROM, so they won't eat up space for you in main memory.

To delete apps that in ROM, you need to flash your phone with a new ROM that doesn't contain these apps.

New K1 Rom fixes Touch Player

Hi Guys! I have just loaded the new Omnia HK1 ROM onto my omnia and have been quite pleased with the results. Generally the device is much smoother - but the main improvement for me has been the changes to the Album Library in Touch Player.

One of the worse features in the original ROMs was the painfully slow album view. I have around 8 gig of music on my storage drive, and it would take about 5 minutes to do a full circuit of the album images.

Thankfully the old method has disappeared and it has been replaced by a new three D effect. It is not dissimillar to S2P's effect. It has still got some way to being a really smooth system - but it is a really nice improvement.

It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to know that Samsung are continuing to improve the Omnia! :)
