[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayK.Tan:
Sorry to post such a stupid question here. I'm really new in this field and I had read many of the faqs but could really find this info. Does flashing new roms delete all other data such as contacts, photos, music etc? I do know some rom might delete the entire system including the settings and apps, but I wish some people here could confirm my question. Thanks and sorry again for this stupid question.:)

Depending on how the ROM was made, example Doc's rom starting from version 5 can do an update w/o deleting anything.

Thats a bit harsh its only their 1st post.

Contacts are saved via your google account so when you sign back in they are resync'd with your phone and gallery pics wont be wiped unless you format internal SD card.

I've been searching for hours, including google etc. As I couldn't find any direct answers in regards to my question mark, so I figured perhaps I could post it here to get some replies. And besides, I didn't know anyone here for me to pm. So I posted this. If it offends you, I'm sorry.

Thanks for your time and reply. Now I got it. Much appreciated =)

I see. Thanks for telling me about this. Really in the middle of nowhere to seek for this info =)

Hi all,

Enjoying the new 2.1 update on my x10 mini pro but something is bothering me.

I came to the x10 from HTC phones and i still cant get used to the home screen nor like it on the x10.

Is there anyway to just have the home screen kinda like vanilla Android so i can place the icons on the screen myself?

Cheers,

John.

I used 'launcher pro' which you can get free off the market to get home screens like on other android devices, it's got lots of customisability too.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
My phone was originally doing the same thing until I flashed Cognition - then the issue went away. Seems these phones are really finicky on how software is loaded onto the phone - even the stock ROM.

But.. if your within 30 days.. no sense not to exchange it for one that won't shutdown.
[Omnia 7 General] de5perate:
Has anyone received their handset through Buymobilephones.net yet?

I placed my order 3 weeks ago on a £25 T-Mobile tarrif and just keep receiving Stock Expected Soon e-mails.

I phoned them today as my O2 PACnumber expires soon and they told me that they were not expecting stock for a few weeks as T-mobile had pulled the phone for software issues. This is strange as I went to my local T-mobile shop at the weekend and they had 2 in stock which they were keen to sell me (well one of them at least) but I wasn't willing to pay the additional £10 per month or the £150 phone cost to keep the £25 contract.

So what's going on?

Buymobilephones.net defined a few weeks for me in case I needed any help in that regard as 4-6 weeks - that's a lifetime.
[Omnia 7 General] gcaw:
I think it might be time to cancel your order and buy elsewhere.

Judging by comments here on XDA and elsewhere, the vast majority of UK users experienced no more than a few days of waiting for their Omnia 7s, a week in some cases, but very rarely more than that.

3 kept me waiting for ten days before I cancelled my order with them and went with T-Mobile; my own experience with T-Mo was that the handset was out of stock when I ordered, but 24 hours later I was told that the handset was back in stock, and the morning after that, I received my handset, and that was ten days ago.

It's also worth noting that T-Mobile hasn't installed any software on the phone, so the usual network customisation delays don't apply here; the only soft customisation they've applied is a T-Mo logo splash screen on start-up.

Seems to me that you can either accept buymobilephones.net's explanation and sit tight until they deliver (£25pm with a free handset is a pretty good deal after all, and you can always request a new PAC from O2 once you've got a delivery date); or you can get on to buymobilephones.net and ask them why they're keeping you waiting when T-Mobile have been shipping these things out to their customers for a while now.

By the way, looking at the small print of that deal you've got, it appears that you can either have the unlimited text booster that they've 'included' in the £25pm price, or you can swap that for a web ('unlimited internet') booster. If you want to have both the unlimited texts AND the web, you'll have to get an additional booster for an extra £5 a month, so the total cost will be £30pm, not £25pm. You WILL need a web booster though, you can't do without it on this phone - but as long as you're happy to live with web but without the unlimited texts (you'll still get 500 texts included), you can keep the price down to £25pm.

If you need BOTH web and unlimited texts, maybe you can find an alternative deal elsewhere with a free handset for £30pm?
[Omnia 7 General] de5perate:
Right - you prompted me to act.

I phoned T-mobile and asked if they could improve their £35 per month Tarrif - they agreed to reduce it to £30 per month (600mins, 500texts, unlimited internet +an additional booster). Then I agreed and proceeded with the order and informed them that I was an existing customer - so they agreed to reduce it further. In the end I had to pay £35 for the handset but I received the above tarrif for £25. And better than that - my phone will arrive tomorrow.

Big fat smiley face.

Just hope the phone is good now.
[Omnia 7 General] root beer:
That's an excellent deal.

I noticed today that the 10 day delivery had gone from the T-Mobile website so I rang them up to check and stock was back in but the best they could do for me was 30 pounds, the phone free, 3gb but at 2 years :(

I am never ever going to be tied into a 2 year contract, I hate having to sign up for 18 months as that is too long really. So I will have to wait until buymobilephones get them in stock as at least I can get 18 months at 25 pounds with the phone costing 10 pounds.

A plus for you is that you get the 3gb and high speed without having to phone the sales reps until one switches you over - they shouldn't really as its only for T-Mobile sales and not resellers.

Have fun tomorrow with your new phone.
[Omnia 7 General] Chimp Safari:
I was in the exact same boat. Decided to call Orange (who I'm currently with) and quoted my "friend's" (your) t-mobile deal.

I managed to get 600mins, unlimited texts, internet, 3 extra magic numbers (I'm now on 6) and orange wednesdays ofcourse for £22.50 a month with the phone costing £15! Thanks "friend"! :D

I have a feeling that I may be on the rubbish 500mb internet but she didn't day. If I am then I will moan and see if I can get it to 1gb.

Phone arrives tomorrow. Can't wait. And buymobilephones.net, I want my 3 weeks of missed WP7 awesomeness back!
[Omnia 7 General] root beer:
Think of it this way, by waiting 3 weeks you have saved money each month over the next 2 years :)

And anyone waiting on buymobilephones they have said the T-Mobile Omnia 7 is in Monday with enough stock to clear all back orders.
[Omnia 7 General] c-bone:
Looks like buymobilephones are expecting them from Tmobile on monday :D. Can't wait to play with mine. Check out their twitter feed!

Edit: As posted above by root beer.

Does anyone know if Tmobile know that the phone has been bought from a 3rd party reseller? I'm wondering because I want to try and get moved onto the 3gb fup. If I pretend I bought direct they might be more cooperative.
[Omnia 7 General] at45:
Well, surely they'll know that you didn't buy it from them, as there will be no record of the transaction. A third party reseller is a shop, don't forget. Buying from shops is normal.
[Omnia 7 General] c-bone:
Yes but the contract is with T mobile regardless of where I bought it from. I will be paying them directly for my contract. Its just I will only get the 1gb fup for buying from 3rd party.
[Omnia 7 General] Chimp Safari:
Just called Orange and got the data increased to 1GB from 500MB free of charge with no hassle. If anyone here is on Orange and is a returning customer it should be no problem as you can't really expect to fully utilise this operating system with 500MB and I think the highest they have on their online plans is 750MB. Just be polite to the person on the phone.
[Omnia 7 General] hboos:
i asked at upgrades and they said they couldn't do that for me but gave me a dongle for mobile internet for 500MB instead??

i guess i won't need the mobile wifi hotspot feature now but i think i still would have prefered 1GB or more
[Omnia 7 General] de5perate:
Nice one friend - another happy Omnia 7 owner - mine should have been delivered yesterday but I am working in Milan so I won't get to play with it until tonight - try and get mtself a few Xbox achievements.
[Omnia 7 General] qakgob:
Odd. When I phoned them, they said they couldn't price-match. Maybe it's cause I'm not on orange at the moment.

Had pre-ordered the HTC Mozart, but it's still out of stock on orange. Might see if I can swap it for the Omnia 7 on T-mobile, seeing as it's in stock.
[Omnia 7 General] de5perate:
Well after 4 days using my new toy and after all that messing with BMP.net I have phoned T-Mobile to arrange for it to be shipped back to them. I am not happy - primarily with WP7. I hope it will improve given a few updates but having used various incarnations of WM6 I am not hugely confident.

So my phone is going back and I have ordered an HTC Desire HD to replace it - I love my Desire so I am sure the Desire HD will be fantastic. I will miss the AMOLED screen most of all - I do so like black to be black.
[Omnia 7 General] sergioiacobucci:
Do not buy from these people if you want proper internet!
[Omnia 7 General] pushkinpassey:
I just got mine from them, and it's brilliant. Got a T-mobile 18 month contract with 600 min and 500 text and unlimited internet for £30 and free phone! :-) Also, 5 month rental is half price! I just couldn't find a better deal than this!
[Omnia 7 General] at45:
Care to elaborate?
[Omnia 7 General] geddeeee:
I wouldn't order from anyone else.

Ordered an Omnia 7 on H3G at 2.30pm and received the phone at 1pm the following day. Superb, quick service.

I really like WP7. The interface is clean and very quick. Internet, e-mails, text etc are all lightning fast.

I can't understand all those people who get a WP7 based phone, and then complain it doesn't do this or that. If you want a customizeable phone, go with Android or WM6.5.

WP7 devices are brilliant IMHO. At the end of the day it is a PHONE. If you want all the other bells and whistles.... Get a laptop!!!
[Omnia 7 General] Sab8th:
Got mine on Virgin, 800 mins Unlimited SMS, 1Gb data for £30 per month.

[General Topics] FirefighterDown:
:confused:

Which one should I buy? I've never used Android before and only used Blackberry years ago on the Pearl Flip. The useless sale guy at Optus Shop say he likes them both and cannot recommend one over another.

I want at-least a day's worth of battery life. I recharge my phone nightly so I'm not really that picky if it lasts longer then from like 9 am to 9 pm.

What I do on ma phone?

600-1000 texts a week

Always signed into MSN, constantly chatting sometimes

Always checking Facebook or sending messages over Facebook

Retrieving about 10 emails a month. No replies

Maybe a music track download every week

Always playing music. I like my music LOUD

Some web-surfing such as reading reviews on new gadgets

Lots of Google Maps when out and about

Picture viewing such as from files sent over MSN

Tethering phone to laptop sometimes

So Torch or Streak and why? Dunno but the Streak is so big, wouldn't I kinda look like a tool walking around in the mall holding it while checking a text? Also does Android have a official looking MSN Client?

I just don't know which one to get. Both sound amazing. :(

Blackberry Torch Users, Get The Free Swagg App And Make Your Gift Cards Mobile!

:D

Have you heard about the SWAGG APP? Swagg is a mobile app for your Blackberry Torch that makes gift giving and gift card managing easier than ever. The app allows users to buy and send gift cards to anyone. If you get a gift card purchased on Swagg that you don’t really care for, you can even swap it for one of Swagg’s other participating merchants including; American Apparel, Crocs, ArdenB, Wet Seal, American Eagle, Live Nation, 1800flowers.com, Omaha Steaks & Steve Madden. Then, you use your gift card on your phone, just like a credit card – the clerk just scans the bar code they send you!

Once you’ve downloaded Swagg to your phone, you will automatically receive exclusive offers from Swagg retail partners and other local businesses for discounts towards your next purchase. You can also scan and store your existing plastic gift cards for better, clutterless management and the Swagg App will keep track of your balances at the same time.

Not only is the app free, for every download and activation, Swagg will donate $1.00 to Stand Up 2 Cancerbetween now and 12/31/11 or up to $125,000, whichever comes first.

You can download the App at AppWorld!

Streak. The Torch is a mediocre device at best, poor quality build, and generally poor as a device period. The Streak is large because is a pad/phone in one. I was going to get the Streak until I decided on my captivate. My fiancee works for AT&T and she generally has nothing good to say about the Torch, or blackberrys in general, they're either hit or miss, and the Torch was a miss.

hai....

if you look at the needs of your reply post, I am more inclined to choose Dell Streak ... one advantage of Dell streak is a larger screen than Torch .. more than that to your desired needs can be found on both the handset .. with a larger screen ... lets you browse and mail management will be better ... more than that all your needs can be met both of them ...

My experience managing email (gmail, yahoo and Corporate mail address) in the dell streak can I do as his only previous Odin. Another case when using google maps, my Dell Streak is the best and more details ....

in 4shared.com I tried to download some mp3 files, and I was satisfied with the audio quality dell streak .. but all returned from the source audio file ...

overalls .. I really like this streak dell ... more have fun and do more ...

I would never touch another BlackBerry. Not only is the hardware ancient, but the software is just crap. The app selection is pitiful, the interface is outdated, and customization of a BB is a major pain in the ass. Not to mention that RIM is just horrible at pushing out new OS updates. I'd rather have a crappy Android device over the best BlackBerry ANY day.

If you only are choosing between the Streak and Torch, I would go with the Streak. Android is better hands down. I have had two Blackberries in my life for personal and corporate and will never go back. I have a question for you now. If you don't like the big screen on the Streak, which I don't blame you, would you consider a different Android device? There are devices that have a smaller screen yet out perform the Streak with ease.

The Torch is nothing but the Rim and more popular version of the Palm Pre anyways.

Just to clarify with some people because I know some people will say this, I know Palm and Rim have no relations. It is a joke because Palm came out with the Pre around the time the Iphone came out, which was about 2-3 years ago, and RIM released the Torch that is about the same specs as the Pre.

I'm running an HTC Desire with OpenDesire 4.0.36 and I'm trying to fathom the lock screen.

If I disable the lock or use a password, then the slide to unlock screen appears, but if I use a pattern lock, then pressing the power button (to wake the phone) goes straight to the pattern screen.

It's a bit annoying as I keep pressing the power button in my pocket then locking myself out of my phone.

Is there any way to alter this behaviour? I'd like the unlock screen and the pattern unlock.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] marginean.m:
Hi. I wanted a cheap solution for mounting my (soon to be replaced) HTC Touch Diamond in my car with the fewest cables possible (I need to mention here that I don't want to use a car mounter and a car charger...the whole idea is to just slip the phone in when you enter the car. I also found the beautiful solutions from brodit or carcomm or adapt but these are a lot more expensive).

So I found this desktop charger (photo downstairs) at 20$ on ebay that I intend to glue somewhere in my car. All good ...

BUT, I was wondering if it would be possible to use a third-party software (if such exists) or to modify some registry entries so that when I connect my phone to the charger, it would automatically modify the phone answering options and a phone call could be answered by pressing any hard key (like the up-down volume keys on the side) or at least switch to that existing option when the phone auto-answers after a set period of time (0-120 sec.). These should be disabled after the phone is disconnected!

Also, in order to use the above-mentioned features, after the phone is answered it should automatically switch to speaker mode.

So...what do you guys think...is this science-fiction ???
