Your best bet (if you don't want to spend the big bucks that is) is to wait until someone cooks a ROM for the i910...it shouldn't be too long really!!

edit: This case does bring up a VERY good warning to all i910 owners...do NOT flash with an i900 ROM....they will NOT work!!!! The i900 and i910 are similar, but very different devices, the ROMs are NOT interchangable!!!!

hawaii man, posting 4 times probably won't get an answer any quicker...

can you still get to the phone from USB?

Any ideas on how how to disable the alarm that goes off when the phone is fully charged, other than turning down the system volume. I have contacted Verizon and Samsung, but have yet to find a solution. I have also searched through the registry, but couldn't find any existing keys that looked like they controlled this (but without knowing the exact key, I definately could have overlooked it). I also went through all the sound files on the phone and it appears to be similar to the notify.wav in the windows folder with the addtion of a single beep that plays before palying this wave file. My intentions are not to flood the message board with this, but would like to find a solution before I ultimately return an otherwise great phone.

I would get in touch with Angel12 over here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=48337

I think he (or at least the thread) is about as close to dumping the ROM and working with it as any other thread I am following!!

Greetings - and Happy Holidays, fellow Geeks!

As I attempt to learn the quirks and pluses of my Omnia, I noticed that there are two prime issues I have with the device... for one, even with the ear piece's volume set at the highest setting - the phone is uniquely quiet. I've mused about same in as yet another posting. In an effort to hear calls better (outside, for example) I opt to use the Speaker whilst on a phone call. And here lies the problem...

Like nearly all of my fellow Omnia brothers and sisters - I am caused to hit a series of buttons before I can begin a conversation - they being not just the Answer button (if receiving a call) but also the freekin' "Press the Action Key to unlock the Touch Key"... and THEN I can depress the Speaker button. I suppose it was Samsung's idea to avoid any accidental button depresses when someone is on the phone and it comes into contact with the user's face. I know the iPhone has addressed the matter by turning off the screen and associated features when the phone is held against the face (...duh...). I thought that the Omnia shared a similar feature. If this was it - it ain't worth the effort.

I know that in the Settings option, there lies a section called Buttons - where the user can "customize" his or her special (yet highly limited) selections... one of which being under the End Key. Sadly, this selection, albeit shown - is (sic) locked-out (pun intended...).

Any suggestions - this side of a virtual can opener...?!?!

I'm a little surprised you'd return "an otherwise great phone" over something as inconsequential seeming as the sound that plays when the charge is complete. Is there some particular reason that makes this such an issue?
