Omnia problems and solutions thread!!! - Page 13

I have 2 problems I am trying to address.

1. I have my Omnia set to turn of the LCD screen after 30 seconds while on a call. When my call is over, I press the end key and it does nothing. I have to wake up the phone in order to end the call. It is even worse if I have the phone set to require an unlock once the screen turns off. In that instance, i need to wake up the phone, unlock the phone, and then end the call. Is there a way to make the end call button....end the call?

2. While charging the phone, the screen keeps coming on. I have the phone set to turn the backlight off after 1 minute and turn off the device after 2 minutes while on external power. It does all these things correctly. Then 30 seconds later, the screen pops back on. I do not want to get screen burn in so I am reduced to turning off the phone to charge it (which is fine unless I want to use it as an alarm clock while traveling). Any thing that can fix my issue?

Thanks in advance for any help or guidance you wise souls can provide.

hop2000....No problem, and not lame at all, a very common request actually!! Glad you got it!!

saltyorange....lets see here:

1- Do you have any other apps running that may cause this (locking app, caller-type apps (dialers, profilers.....)? I know sometimes it seems like the same thing is happening on my Omnia, but I find there is a bit of a lag, but it does hang-up for me when I press the 'red' phone button.

2- It seems to be a common thing with the Omnia. I use SuU2, and I use an almost all black battery charge screen, so it hardly bothers me, but you could turn the Omnia onto it's face so you can't see it. I haven't heard of screen burn, but I guess that is something to watch for. Hopefully a fix will be in the rumored update!!

I didn't see a setting in the notifications for it.

Yea right now the only way to "disable" the "Charge complete" sound is to change it to either a silent or quieter sound...I changed it to a quieter sound that doesn't wake me...

there are actually 2 sounds you will need to change....

the first sound is "alarm2.wav" and the 2nd sound is "Notify.wav"

use ur windows explorer and navigate to the "Windows" folder the sounds are located there.

OK...pdub73 gave you the locations + file names already, Save them spmewhere else, or rename them in case you want to use them again, and here is a silent wav file. Just rename it and to the two files pdub73 mentioned and replace them on the PPC.

So I just tried doing this and I get a message that says I can't transfer the file as I do not have permission. Any idea why this is popping up?

What explorer are you using? Youmay need to use a RESCO-type of explorer that can give you a little more freedom in moving files.

Does Etiquette mode disable it if the phone is flipped over?

I don't believe so, I think the battery tone over-rides any and all profile settings from what I have heard in the past.

Hey y'alls,

Searched the thread but didn't find this particular problem. I do not own an Omnia, but a friend of mine does and she is having a couple of issues. The first issue is her memory--it is at absolute 0 for device memory. Verizon told her it is a problem with the Omnia and to ignore that it says 0 because it actually has "a lot of memory" but a bug is causing it to say 0. I'm going to clear her internet cache and see if she has the VZApps installed and delete it if she does to see if that helps, but has anyone else heard of/have this problem?

Second problem--she can't send txt messages. Every time she clicks send she gets an error message (can't remember it off the top of my head, but will look later today and update post). She thinks it has something to do with the System Error Verizon told her about (the no memory bug), but i'm not so sure. Anyone have this problem?

Last thing-- she was trying to get her hotmail e-mail on her phone, and the Verizon people were no help to her. They told her to use the mobile e-mail app, which is crap and is just taking up space. She needs to be able to access her groups, and cannot do that from Mobile E-mail. Any advice?

Thanks to everyone in advance. If worse comes to worse, I'm just going to transfer all her info to card/computer and do a hard reset for her.

Thanks again!

The memory problem is a very well known issue, and with 8GB memory, I think your safe, but definetly keep the Opera cache clear...that is a biggie along with the VZApps (I can't believe they even keep that on the new Omnias being sold)!!!!

I had this issue at first, but after a hard-reset and installing everything again, and placing files on my memory again, the issue went away and I haven't seen it since. So eventhough I don't care for the way the rep worded it, they are most likely pretty accurate.

The texting issue is new to me. Are you sure the data connection is good? Is there a third-party app (Vito, PocketCM....) being used?

I don't use Hotmail, but I think this site may help:
