If I were you I'd switch to WPA/2 encryption, WEP is about as useful to keeping outsiders out as locking a screen door is to keeping people out of your house.

Hopefully WPA works, my roommie just ordered an omnia and will be most upset if it can't use the wifi at the house!

Youtube?????
Is it just me? No worky.
Tried HTC media download from xda
TCPMP no.
from the mobile site upon selecting thumbnail, it attempts to open it with WM media player. On my old phone that was HTC Helmi cooked. it worked fine. but I'll need to get that old phone out to find which software that was.

edit/ Yes it was HTC's Streamingmedia software. I'm going to find it and try that.
editII/ go to xda developers and search for youtubeplay also you need windows NET runtime. the link is there for that as well.
AMAZZZZing video quality, much better than the mobile website version. It's a stand alone software so look in your programs folder for it.

This cab has had mixed success. It is supposed to disable the keylock when you're on a call. I installed it and it worked but, I lost the icons/functionality on the right column of buttons on the dialer screens. Fortunately (for me) removing the software restored the button functions.

2. I'm not able to make my phone to connect to my wireless router. I have a wireless 802.11 b/g wifi router with WEP encryption. My omnia detects the wireless network, asks me for the key and then it tries to connect and doesn't succedes.

Thank in advance, for any solutions for this two problems.

What type of router do you have?

I had the same issue. But all i did to fix it was click to connect WIFI, then exit the connection manager, then open it back up and do it again. The first time i did this it took about 30 secs to connect so give it a little time. Now it connects in about 2-3 secs on the first try.

Any one find a fix for the problem:

When entering a name in either Sms, or email "to" field no names from contacts pop up. In every other WM phone ive had, names automatically pop up as you type. On the Omnia, nothing pops up. You have to click "add recipient" or "check name" that kinda sucks.

Any way to fix that? There must be a registry fix that can make it work right?

Thanks for the help.

enter a partial name in the To: field like "Andr" and type your text. When you hit the send button it will show you the list of matches like "Andrew" etc and you can select the one you want to send to.

I have a question for everyone. I am new and blonde so here we go. I know on regular computers that some sd cards and flash drives can be used to add ram to your system, so my question is can this be done to a phone such as the Omnia?

I know it can't be done on the Titan, but I don't know about the Omnia. Gut feeling... probably not.
