Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!

[Kenzie's Grandma]

Hi everyone, I just found this forum so pls forgive me if I'm in the wrong thread or something OK? I just got my Omnia i910 from Bell Mobility last week and I really like it but one thing about it is driving me bananas (sorry my caps lock is giving me problems now too) No matter what I try to install on my phone it insists on putting it in the device memory and as you all know it isn"T very big>

I"Ve looked and looked but I can"t find anywhere to designate either the My Storage or the sd card that is in it>

Can someone please help me?

Thanks so much in advance, this seems to be a really great forum.

How are you trying to intall things? Usually the first thing you see after clicking the CAB file is the screen asking where to install it. Maybe it is the app as well, there are some hard-coded to install in specific places.

On a side note, check out the Omnia upgrades sub-forum, there are cooked ROMs that give you a LOT of on-board memory!!!!

If your using opera first thing you can do unless there is a permant way to make it so this is unnesisory is when you download somthing it gives you the option to open i think and save. Save it and another screen will pop up with and option where to store the cab. Than when you open that you will have the same option. I like to store cabs on storage cards and install on your 8 gb storage. That way you can still have it on hard reset or use your favorite backup program. I really do not like internet explorer seems way to slow and asks to many questions. so i really dont know about that

Not sure if this was really answering his question. I dont think he was refering to downloading or browsing. It looked like his issue was installing cabs and them not giving him the option to install to my storage. In that case, this would be a fairly odd issue. The location of the cab should not make a difference in how and to where it installs.

Hi, anyone help out.

After a Hard Reset on my Omnia I get the Messaging/Email Screen every time I unlock my phone.

Didn't do it before the H,R, it's becoming a pain now, is there a simple fix ?

I've done a few searches, & posted on another forum, but nothing yet.

Thanks,

Sounds like you are using a ROM that does not have the lock fix in it. So you tap on the icon and you see three icons underneath it. Tap on the lock image itself and this will not happen. Then get a newer ROM that no longer has this issue.

Hi BW, phone details below;

PDA I900XXHHD/ACHH3

PHONE I900BUHH2

What I cannot understand is this version is the same that I had previous, but this popup didn't occur, but now it does.

Recommendations on another Rom please ?

Is that a 6.1 ROM? If it is then I am wrong because what I described was a 6.5 issue. As for another ROM for your phone there are non posted here but there are several in the i900 forums of Modaco. Sector has one of the most popular ROMs there.

Your right it should not but when you install them it gives you the option i was just covering the whole thing. naturally if you just keep hitting ok when downloading and installing it will put them in the small device memory. But also no matter where you put them a small amount will always be stored there. Read it again it does mention installing.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to this everyone. It's an EXE. file I'm trying to install. The instructions said to extract and install on my PC then run the downloaded EXE. on the PC to start installation (did that make sense?) When I do that the PC asks where I would like it installed and so I choose the only option there for my phone which is Mobile Device. The problem is that it doesn't show any choices for where on the Mobile. I'm wondering why it says to install and run the EXE. file on the PC. Couldn't I put it directly on my phone and install from there?

Thanks so much for still taking time for this.
