Re: "Lock Device button won't disable...!
 

Okay, I tried this alternative to the standard dialer that came with the Omnia... and couldn't wait to drop it. Yeah, it loads, and I used the password - as supplied, and it nestled into my phone like a bear settin' up for a long winter hibernation. Trouble is - bears tend to sh*t in the cave whilst sleeping... and, despite the fact that PhoneEx does give you a large Caller ID, the thumb flicking of the supplied Contacts list is NOT as good as it should be, and - more importantly - when you end a call, the screen more than occasionally LOCKS and will not switch back to the dial pads... making any attempt to call someone else a futile effort, at best... necessitating in having to do a warm reboot. Once was enough... but, every damn time is about more than one can ask for. An expensive endeavor - sepecially if you've PAID for the program. Makes one appreciate that which was already supplied by Samsung.

What type of router do you have?

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
 

I got the Omnia a few days ago, so far I love it. Coming from an HTC Touch, I miss the ability to make programs close completely when I hit the "x". I find that programs are constantly running in the background on this Omnia and ruining my battery life. Is there a way to set the Omnia up to close the programs completely when one hits the "x"?

Thanks.

I think HTC X-Button is what you want - you can set it to close programs by tapping X or by holding it.

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
 

Hello fellow Omnia users,
I'm new to this board and the Omnia is my first smartphone/ppc. I'm reading the forums and trying to pickup tips and tricks as I go along. Right now my biggest problem is that I'm running out of memory in "My Device" and I keep getting a warning popup.
Does anyone have a list of things I could safely move to "My Storage" in order to free up space. I have put every cab in "My Storage" and installed everything to "My Storage" when it gave me the option. Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
 

gatorbyte....welcome to the forum!! I think you have the right idea about installing apps already. A majority of apps have been proven to run smoothly from My Memory. The memory message your getting is also a known issue, but it isn't with all users. Look into your memory under settings and let us know what the numbers are, and what apps your installing.

I also want to add that if you do a lot of online things, you may want to empty out the Opera cache occasionally (I run Memmaid about once a week). For some reason Opera keeps quite a hefty cache and can cause the issue you see!!

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
 

Thanks for the reply. My memory under the main tab shows this

Storage
Total: 88.17MB
In use: 79.41MB
Free: 8.70MB



Program
Total: 97.35MB
In use: 36.51MB
Free: 60.84MB

I have SPB shell, Google maps, and a program called Quotrek that keeps track of stocks. I looked in the Quotrek folder and it says it's 1.08MB.

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
 

Holy Cow!!!! I guess that is a problem!!! Have you looked into the Opera cache yet?

edit: another idea...do you have VZApps installed? That has been known to cause a few fun problems like that!!!

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
 

I already cleared my opera cache to get it to the numbers I posted. I do have weather and I think one other vzapp. Could I just delete that whole application because I sure wouldn't miss it?

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
 

Not only can you, but I would suggest it. Another common side-effect of installing VZApps is losing wi-fi!!

I am not saying this is definitly your problem, but it is a VERY good start, and with as few apps as you have installed right now, I don't feel as bad about suggesting the next step being a hard reset and starting from scratch!
