Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
 

This poster posted back May 1 2009. In a follow up/inquiry I'm hoping you all can help us. My wife's Omnia exhibits this same problem, ever since updating with the last released official rom. Could some of you do us a favor, look at this video we took of the problem, and try to reproduce it on your phone? Verizon is sending us a replacement in case it's specific to our (and the above poster's) hardware, but I'm skeptical the replacement will work right either.

The video is brief, but you can see twice - she presses the 'Add word' option and the add word dialog shows for half a second and disappears.

Does this happen to you?

Also, if this is something that affects all Omnias and won't get fixed, do you folks have recommendations for a 3rd party keyboard that'll to t9 with a working add-word feature?

Thanks,
Louis

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
 

i have the exact same issue ever since i updated as well
to add a word i just go to input settings and add that way...so from my understanding it's pretty common...

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!

Hello.

My problem is that the bluetooth does not seem to work: when i tap the BT icon,its sort of "loads" for 10 seconds without lauching...(it stays "OFF").
Another thing is that the battery isnt lasting more than 24 hours.(Without using wifi or HSPDA or even music player.....just around 10 sms)........

Sorry, I have no specific advice for you but I do know that the Omnia's stock keyboard is overall pretty poor and has been plagued with various bugs throughout it's lifetime. The custom ROM I've been using has a new keyboard from the Omnia Lite (I think) that seems to work better. Also there is the new Swype keyboard taken from the Omnia II; adding words to its dictionary is as simple as typing it in manually and pressing the spacebar.

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
 

I got a problem with my Omnia maybe someone can help me out with.
First off, the other day I got a message from someone who I would normally have a long text log with.
First thing I notice is the entire log between us is just gone.
So I respond to the message and watch as the popup for the txt message was still there..
I clicked it but there was no new message.
So now, anytime i receive a txt or anything else, it shows me as having a text message that i cant even see.
I even re-deleted the log to see if that would fix the problem but it didnt.
Also tried shutting the phone off which didnt help anything.

If anyone has any ideas for me I would greatly appreciate them because im getting really tired of seeing the same notification over and over!!

Thanks

Looking to get an Omnia for use on the Bell network. From what I read here, the Omnia is not as amenable to custom ROMs as is the HTC Diamond, for example; at least, not with Bell. Is the phone worth getting? How much can I do with the ROM if I'm on Bell network?

Hi,
From the beginning I have found very difficult to “control” scrolling function. For example, when open a contact list and then starts to scroll-the screen moves so fast that it is not possible to follow it. Furthermore, when trying to continue scrolling-it happens that contact that is on the bottom of the list-opens.
Any suggestion or app that makes life easier?
Thanks a lot

Im guessing no1's ever had this problem?

Wirelessly posted (Opera/9.80 (Windows Mobile; WCE; Opera Mobi/WMD-50286; U; en) Presto/2.4.13 Version/10.00)

to the poster with text message problems, are you running the up dated software? it may fix your issue though I've never heard of it before. only other thing I can think of is to move a file called pim.vol off of your phone and see if the issue persists.

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
 

Hey everyone!

I'm living in Korea and just bought a Samsung Oz Omnia (SPH-M7350). It has Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional Korean on it. I thought I would be able to change the phone into English but it's proved a lot more difficult than I thought. I went to a service centre and they said there is no WM6.5 program in English for this particular model. They suggested I could try install WM6.5 in English myself and if I had any trouble they would reinstall the Korean version. They said if I did that though, I might experience some unecpected problems.

Has anyone else had the same problem or know anything at all about this?! I think the phone has only been released in Korea. Can anyone suggest a safe version of Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional in English I could try? (preferably with instructions telling how I get it on the phone!).

I'm new to this game by the way. Can someone tell me, is only a matter of time befoe Microsoft release an official version of WM6.5 for this model?

It's driving me crazy to have such a sweet phone and not yet be able to use it to it's full capablities! Please help someone!

Cheers

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
 

Got an recent issue thats come up on mine.... no pictures or attachments in emails can be displayed and my email is set to download the entire attachments. a reg setting maybe so that the attachments are opened with the right program? windows media?

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
 

You shouldn't have to do a reg entry to make something like that work. When did the problem start? Had you made another change that would have/could have affected that ability?

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
 

Actually if i remember correctly, everytime i tryed to search for a windows update it would come back as not being able to connect or whatever so no it probably has an old version. Still not sure why this one message randomly stays stuck on my screen.

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
 

Please someone fix this issue - when my Omnia is charging, the power settings work like I want them to (AC power, screen does not turn off by itself) - however, when it reaches 100%, the phone switches to the battery power setting, which makes the phone shut off after 1 minute (since that's what I want it to do on battery power). Is there a way to make it ignore the 100% charge and make it stay on the AC power setting when the battery is full and the phone is plugged in?

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
 

hi..
i was wondering if you happenned to find out the file for charge full in the windows directory.
i seem to have only a file for the Lowbatt, but nothing for a fullbatt!!
any thots?

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
 

My Omnia recently went into power save mode and shut off the phone (wireless radio). After charging the phone to 100%, I tried to turn the phone back on but it will not turn on. I get the message, "The phone is currently off. Would you like to turn on the phone?" Nothing happens when I press yes.

I've attempted a hard reset without any luck. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!
