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

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...

if i 'X' it back to main screen (today 2) and use the htc x thing to close active sync (bastard always seems to show up no matter what) then go back into txt messages, everything works fine (until next time)

only seems to effect sms....
anyone have similar/same issue? any thoughts how to remedy it? need more info?

at this point i think that is the last bug i can't figure out for my current set up.

thanks in advance

nothing? no one has this issue?

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)........
(Hard reset did not work)

Can anyone help me please?

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.

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
