Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
For the first issue...the alarms you set, are they using the Samsong alarms or the WM alarms? Personally I think this is a great addition, but if your using Samsung's, when you create an alarm, one of the options is 'Sound Profile' I think if you change that to System, that should follow the profile you set for the Omnia (vibrate, silent....).
As for the emergency mode popping up, I think that may warrent calling into CS and possibly switching out for another Omnia, I haven't seen/heard this one yet. If you have made an emergency call, maybe there is a setting or switch that needs to be made (on my 700wx I had to turn the phone radio on and off again), but other than that, I think a call into CS may be in order! |

Home screen -> Main Menu -> Settings -> Phone -> Security tab -> Emergency Call button -> if you have any numbers programmed here: delete them. I noticed serendipitously that the stupid "emergency only calls" alert comes on whenever I called one of the numbers I had programmed here (my wife!). Problem disappeared when I deleted the three numbers I had entered. Thereafter, I cannot seem to be able to get that warning to come on. Hope this works. BTW, called Verizon tech service the same night I found this thread: they are clueless but at least didn't try to snow or b.s. me. Hope this helps |

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
Hello Syrguy1969,
Thanks for the welcome, sorry for going so straight to the problem, but I am a bit nervous about this situation. Yes I tried a soft reset. But it still doesn’t work. How do I do a hard reset? (Is it by turning off the phone, starting it again by holding also the call and end call at the same time?? There the phone says format, will this delete all my information?? {Contacts info, messages, etx…}). I don’t want to make a mess; could you give me all this details of what you know?? Thanks on advance |

Second: Using the stylus, press it in the hole next to the power button at top of the Omnia and hold it in, with it still in, press and hold the two softkeys on bottom face of phone (call and end call keys). With these softkeys still being depressed, release the stylus and wait for the black screen, then release the two softkeys. You should get to a screen shortly that says Format or Cancel (something to that effect)... press the left softkey (call/phone key) to Format. Note: you will retain everything on the "My Storage" - It will not be formatted. Third: Once your phone reboots, it should be back to factory (default) settings, you can then run your backup or Activesync to get back all your contacts, msg, events,.... |

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
Couldn't have said it better lazer9!! I am guessing from the situation though that a backup now (if not done already) is out of the question. I hope sebastoklez did sync with a PC, at least SOME info will be available.
Don't worry about launching into a problem upon joining, that is how most of us found this community, and it is what we are here for!!!! Let us know how the hard reset goes...if it works, I think we have a few suggestions on how to procede from there (getting a good backup app is a biggie!!). If it doesn't work, it may be time to bring manufacturer's waranty or insurance into play (lets hope not though....always easier if you can solve your own problems....trust me). |

Re: Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!
Thanks a lot. I know what you are taking about, but of course I didn’t dare to make a mistake. I am going to try that tomorrow. And I will get in touch with you later.
Really thankful |

Exchange server requires me to have a PIN so I definitely want 911 in that emergency list in case of an emergency where someone has to use my phone, but then it flips out if you actually have to call. I hope VZW is well aware of this. |
