[Omnia 7 General] evilangelic:
I've owned a few samsungs in the past (years ago lol), and they didn't give me any trouble. I suppose it was before the major smartphone race of the the last few years though haha.

I only went for the Omnia after holding it myself, there was no way I was going to order a Samsung phone without getting into a store and exploring it - but it was more solid than expected.

Hopefully if there are any support problems in the future, I will just take it to the high street store I got it from and play super dumb and demand a replacement or different phone lol... no harm done.

It seems like a negative thing to say but keep in mind that the phone really is good right now, no problems at all, everything works perfectly so far.

Note for those not in the know: the location based issues of Android Samsungs are not present here! On maps it focuses down with GSM triangulation and GPS pinpoint kicks in a couple of seconds later, super speedy!
[Omnia 7 General] ericc191:
Well that's a relief. I suppose the biggest factor that makes it feel so much better is that it's got some metal, right?
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
Mine's just arrived.

First impressions are very good. It feels very sturdy with no creaks and the metal casing is nice. It feels much more solid than my HTC Blackstone, although I am worried about such a large screen getting damaged!

It's going to have to stay off whilst the sim card registers. Annoying wait ahead!
[Omnia 7 General] chex13:
How come you got this over the mozart?
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
I was reading conflicting reviews on the Mozart's camera and since I mainly use my mobile for web browsing the extra screen acres sold it for me.

The screen quality is awsome by the way. The device also looks way better in the flesh. It seems it may also have Cornings gorilla glass which would be a welcome addition!
[Omnia 7 General] evilangelic:
For web browsing I might have thought it possibly more comfortable to use the Mozart's SLCD with RGB pixels (higher subpixel count) if you have good eyes that is lol.

I just cant get over how amazing the 4" SAMOLED looks though...

Because of the all black screen surround, and the nature of the WP7 text laid out to the edge of the screen, it sort of looks like your phone is just one massive display, which a lot of it is... lol

The blacks of the SAMOLED just merge with the black surround! So cool.

Where does the screen end?! lol
[Omnia 7 General] seewhy:
I am a happy omnia 7 owner. Just like what the other said, solid construction, beautiful screen.

But the build in app is sub-par (vs lg optimus) and I hope I don't regret choosing a device with 8GB of storage.

Cheers
[Omnia 7 General] gcaw:
A user over on MoDaCo forums is reporting that their T-Mobile account manager has told them that the Omnia 7 has been temporarily pulled due to software issues.

I've been waiting on one of these for some time as well, and was told today that their most recent update for handset stocks (issued internally today) did not include a new batch of Omnia 7s. The CSR I spoke to wouldn't be drawn on any specific problems with the handset, except to say that "there have been a few issues" with the ones we've received, and that I would be receiving a call in due course to let me know when mine would be delivered.

Does anyone else know anything about this?
[Omnia 7 General] risq:
gcaw - apparently they have dispatched Omnia 7's now on T-mobile, so I'd get on the phone ASAP.
[Omnia 7 General] gcaw:
risq - many thanks for letting me know about that. As it happens, fifteen hours after I'd made my previous post, I received a call from T-Mobile to let me know that they had stock and confirming delivery later today, but I'm grateful that you informed me of that - and hopefully others will have taken note of that information and successfully placed orders themselves.

I was also pleased to hear from the CSR (the same one I spoke to yesterday) that T-Mobile is extending the same deal to new Omnia 7 owners as it offers to Android buyers, giving 3GB of monthly data usage at no additional cost, rather than the standard 1GB offered under the fair usage policy for other handsets.

Compared with the rather pitiful 500MB offered on O2's contracts, that's a pretty awesome deal.
[Omnia 7 General] Cruzer1:
QC seems top notch!

Posted this on another forum. I'm happy about the build:

Well it had to happen sooner or later, in under a week I've dropped the Omnia 7 while lazily trying to hit snooze just moments ago (typing this message with my phone now lol). Dropped from about table height, and while it was dark, sounded like it landed on a corner first... Picked it up in the dark and dropped it again, this time hitting face flat on the ground.. My floors got a wood finish on top of a normal concrete slab so its pretty solid. Shocked and not feeling so lazy anymore, turned lights on, inspected phone, and absolutely no scratches to be seen...i think this is due to the matte looking polycarbonate plastic they use, plus the color looking like its been amalgamated with the actual plastic, I say this because I remember on my htc touch HD the bezel would scratch/chip so easily because all it was was some cheap paint over plastic/metal? As for glass, i read it's gorilla glass, whether or not it is, I'm glad it isn't scratched... My screen protector can't come soon enough,

Either way, I'm glad to know the Omnia7 is a solid beast :D. Though in truth, after dropping it, my excitement and feelings of it being a new toy has slightly washed off... My feeling now is 'it might be damaged somewhere' :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
Rooted using Unrevoked. Have Root Explorer installed and Titanium. I know the system apps are in the folder: System/Apps When using Root Explorer I don't have the options. To uninstall the apps bit I can delete them. However, after deleting them the programs are still there. Same thing happens when I try to do it with Titanium. Is there something I'm overlooking?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okolowicz:
System Apps do not get installed/uninstalled. Deleting them is all you need to to. However, since it appears you are still running the stock ROM you need to make sure you delete the corresponding odex file too.

I only had the stock ROM for about a day before I rooted and installed a different ROM (which was deodexed). BUT, I recall reading that both files need to be deleted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jagxj220:
I suggest that instead of deleting the files place them in a backup folder just in case you might need them later on. As mentioned before you must move the APK and its associated ODEX file if it has one. Sprint applications tend to be updated so uninstall the updates then move the Sprint applications using the aforementioned method.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
so i have to move the sprint apk files and odex files (if applicable) before I can delete them? I already tried deleting them w/o backing them up or changing their location but they keep coming back!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crotchety:
Are you mounting the apps folder with "rw" privileges before deleting?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
Yes, I am. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. I swear to god these ****ing apps come right back after I reboot the phone. I delete them with Titanium and/or Root Explorer and after a little while they pop up again. I have no idea what is going on. I rooted with Unrevoked 3.21...maybe something didn't go right?

I also can't get BusyBox to install which is a major pain in da ass because so many apps need it

hi having trouble with my htc aria , i have a samsung galaxy i9000 and a aria and i like the task mamanger on the samsung. i was wondering how do i get it to downlaod and install on my aria. i use astro and my phone is not rooted ..... i have been downloading the link on the forums its downloading but it goes through the install process but then it comes application not installed .

can some one help me pleaseeee i am getting frustarted... :confused:
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] CallMeAria:
Im not sure why this happens, Im no expert, but there a couple apps that I have on my phone that I couldnt install normally because it would say "application not installed" in the end. What I had to do was push them directly to my /system/app folder and they worked then. But I'm not even sure if you can do that with an unrooted phone. But I figured it was worth mentioning cause I think theres a thread on here that mentions sideloading and not needing root?

Sometimes I look at eBay for batteries, even though I know they're pretty much all imported garbage (and who knows how many peoples' water supplies are being tainted by industrial chemicals to produce this cheap ****). I am lured by high capacity and "USA FAST SHIP" slapped all over the product pictures. Regardless, it seems that recently these sellers have gotten a bit more ballsy and have decided to be honest about their products... kind of.

Here are the most recent batteries that have somehow floated to shore from our friends in the far east (along with screenshots):

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-BATTERY-HTC...285459?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item230a74d9d3

But wait! There's another battery scam with identical copy with the only difference being the mah rating:

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-1500MAH-BAT...974821?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item483cef82a5

And another! This one apparently is only good "up to" 1000mah...

[Droid Incredible Accessories] mb02:
Even they are borderline sketchy.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] nick.koutrelakos:
To be honest, I bought this exact battery the first week I got my phone on launch day (first link) except it was a package of 2 batteries and an external charger for $10 and free shipping. Best decision I made. They last about 12 hours on moderate use for me. I'd rather carry around an extra battery than shell out $50+ for seidio.. until you try it, don't automatically assume it's not worth the $3 because I use it every day.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] DeaconBoogie:
I think you are all missing the point...

They don't specify an exact mAH number rating. They specify a range from 500 to as low as 1000 and as high as 1600.

The fact that three different vendors all sell the same battery with the same ad copy with the same pictures but wildly different power ratings positively screams "avoid at any cost" in your face.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] J913B:
I bought the same thing. I'm sure most people that visit Android blogs did as a few endorsed/advertised it.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Yodes:
Eh I got one battery and an external charger shipped for about $5. Sure it doesn't last as long as an OEM battery but hey, for the price of a fast food meal I got an extra battery that I can pop in to my phone in a crunch. I use the OEM battery mostly and then I have this one when I need it. I wouldn't recommend using it as a main battery though. Just my thoughts
[Droid Incredible Accessories] JaydenR:
Couldnt agree more
[Droid Incredible Accessories] james_pnut:
i bought oem evo battery and it runs at 1800 mAH instead of 1500 and Best thing I did. Both are the same size. Bought two for 20 dollars off ebay before I even got my phone.

Seidio

What's so sketchy about Seidio?

They make quality products. I bought one of their slim extended batteries for the DInc - works like a charm. I can get through a full day with heavy usage and still have 20-30% life left over. Granted, I use SetCPU to adjust my CPU speeds - which greatly helps improve my battery life.

But I've bought many products from Seidio - cases, batteries, charges - none have ever failed me.

What was your bad experience with them?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] setexascustoms:
Seidio's been good to me also, I'm running the 1750mah battery and I certainly can't complain. I also have the Innocase Rugged which offers great protection, albeit I use just the inner Innocase most of the time, it's nice to have the option.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] sonichris:
I bought one of these, came with two batteries and a charger. can't beat the price. I just peeled the sticker off that surrounds the battery and replaced it with scotch tape (to make it thinner). it's barely thicker than the stock battery and last at least as long. cheap chinese. whatever, but $10 for two spares and a charger is an amazing bargain.

(can't post the link, but I got the htc my touch slide 1500mah batteries and charger from china. on ebay).
[Droid Incredible Accessories] rabbiporkchop:
I bought a cheap chinese 3500mah battery on Ebay from a guy in hong kong, and it doubled my battery life for 10 bucks.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] ncwildcat:
Their products suck. The 1750 battery lasts 3/4 as long as my stock battery, and the innocase ii peeled and scratched the sides of my phone

[Droid Incredible Accessories] JPS81:
http://batteryboss.org/

Seidio's batteries from those tests ranged from 79% to 82% of their rated capacity.

OEM batteries ranged from 96% to 100%.

The OEM EVO 4G 1500mAh battery fits in the Incredible and has a very, very, very high likelihood of last just as long, if not longer than, a Seidio 1750mAh.

That is what's sketchy about Seidio.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] madman34:
Honesty is best, but,,,,,

,,,but business is in it to make money. I have not bought any knock off batteries, but I do not understand why they can not be as good. We know that HTC probably is not in the battery manufacture business, they must have someone make them for them. Would it not stand to reason that if discovered the company that makes the good ones for HTC could sell them to us. Or think about this, maybe they get them from China too from the same places on the net but the Chineese test them all and sell the best testing ones to HTC, they would not throw away batteries they have made and sealed and have money tied up in so they put the crap ones on the net for sale,,,,,just a thought;-)
[Droid Incredible Accessories] BlindDude:
I bought one from Ebay and am quite happy with it.

It cost me $0.01 loll plus 10.99 shipping from hong kong I guess.

Ebay 1 penny battery

It works great.. Not exactally DOUBLE the life of the OEM battery but pretty darn close.

Here is a tip I read online and IT WORKS AMASINGLY for my DINC.

When you get up in the morning, unplug your phone from the charger and shut it down.. then when its OFF,, then plug the charger back in for 30-60 minutes or so while you take a shower or eat breakfast or whatever...

It makes my battery last MUCH MUCH LONGER..

Now I am wondering if there is some type of program that will automate this for me? I noticed though, when you leave the charger plugged in and shut the phone down,, it doesnt reset the charging cycle.. The Light stays green and doesnt charge.

Anyone know of an app that will shut my phone down at a predetermined time?

About 8:45AM EST, my phone, for the second time this month, did a little update. I let it go through the process since the last one went well. Nothing really happened. It asked me to restart, I did, then it just booted back up.

If you got an update message. And you're still on JFD. that update is probably your JI6...

Second update here as well. I ran the (soft brick-inducing) update a week or so ago too.

Today: un-rooted, let it do its thing. Took like 2 minutes tops.

Baseband version still listed as JI2 (though to be honest, I don't know how it got to that in the first place. as far as I knew, I had been running JFD all along).

[Vibrant General] Nothingness00:
I'm talking about after the update. I'm missing out on all of this JI fun :(
[Vibrant General] presence06:
I don't know, I'd say if you don't have the JI6 and you just got an update notification, it's probably that. Since you are still running JFD.
[Vibrant General] Nothingness00:
IDK tho. When I get these updates, nothing seems to happen. The phone reboots, says SAMSUNG GALAXY VIBRANT, reboots again, and then loads up.

I never seems to notice any changes or performance. Plus, my GPS still blows.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
Not sure. Could always wipe And manually install Ji6 And see What happens? If you want to. Havent seen anyone else on other forums say anything about an update after JI6.

[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
I say just use Kies Mini if you want the update and cant wait. I thought I could wait but couldnt and I didnt feel like messing with Odin (yet). Grabbed Kies Mini, connected the phone after backing up everything and I didnt remove root. Phone updated fine and I lost root but not data, no bricking, no nothing. Re-Rooted and have no complaints about JI6 except the MediaHub related processes you have to kill. just to add to the topic, a couple days ago, the device management icon popped up in my notification bar and when i pulled down the notification tab it stated it was trying to connect to the DM sever. The same thing that happened when I followed the instructions in the "how to Force the OTA update" thread.
[Vibrant General] Dynamicstyle4o8:
Hello!

I think its for the gps lag fix. my gps works really well now
[Vibrant General] kmull:
Funny thing, I haven't received my update either. Wonder how many of us nonreceivers there are out here?;).

My question is....if we special people(non receivers) don't actually get this update OTA, will we make up for that when and if Froyo comes out?
[Vibrant General] jayzusfk:
It means the update failed and it's trying again.

I had the same problem so I did the Odin method and it worked fine without wiping or unrooting or anything.

The Kies Mini method came out right after I used Odin and that's what Samsung recommends, so if you're having trouble or just tired of waiting I would give it a shot.
[Vibrant General] eortizr:
That's the GPS Fix... the JI6 updated did not include the Fix for the GPS
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
LOL what are you talking about .JI6 WAS the GPS update, along with 40 other improvements. JI6 also resolved the 3 button issue.

Either the OP did truely get a 2nd update of some sort, or is lying, or it was JI6 failing the first time and trying to reinstall again this morning.

"To resolve this issue, create a new certificate:

If it is running, close the Zune software and disconnect your phone.

Open Certificate Manager. To do this, click Start, type certmgr.msc, and press Enter.

Expand Personal, and then expand Certificates.

Click the heading for the Issued By column to sort the column, and then look for one or more certificates that is issued to "zune-tuner://windowsphone/...".
