You never know, I bet someone will figure it out!!

I have video files and music on my storage card and it finds them just fine...

Yeah, it finds all my music on my 8gb sdhc card too.

I have a feeling the guys having trouble with it should compare notes with you guys!! I don't use it myself, so it doesn't matter to me, but if they are interested enough I'm sure they will chime in!!

So I just tried doing this and I get a message that says I can't transfer the file as I do not have permission. Any idea why this is popping up?

What explorer are you using? Youmay need to use a RESCO-type of explorer that can give you a little more freedom in moving files.

Downloaded trial version of Resco and did it without a problem. Thanks again. Hopefully, this cures my insOMNIA from being woken up at three in the morning when my phone is fully charged...

OK I know that was extremely lame, but thanks for the help!

I have 2 problems I am trying to address.

1. I have my Omnia set to turn of the LCD screen after 30 seconds while on a call. When my call is over, I press the end key and it does nothing. I have to wake up the phone in order to end the call. It is even worse if I have the phone set to require an unlock once the screen turns off. In that instance, i need to wake up the phone, unlock the phone, and then end the call. Is there a way to make the end call button....end the call?

2. While charging the phone, the screen keeps coming on. I have the phone set to turn the backlight off after 1 minute and turn off the device after 2 minutes while on external power. It does all these things correctly. Then 30 seconds later, the screen pops back on. I do not want to get screen burn in so I am reduced to turning off the phone to charge it (which is fine unless I want to use it as an alarm clock while traveling). Any thing that can fix my issue?

Thanks in advance for any help or guidance you wise souls can provide.

hop2000....No problem, and not lame at all, a very common request actually!! Glad you got it!!

saltyorange....lets see here:

1- Do you have any other apps running that may cause this (locking app, caller-type apps (dialers, profilers.....)? I know sometimes it seems like the same thing is happening on my Omnia, but I find there is a bit of a lag, but it does hang-up for me when I press the 'red' phone button.

2- It seems to be a common thing with the Omnia. I use SuU2, and I use an almost all black battery charge screen, so it hardly bothers me, but you could turn the Omnia onto it's face so you can't see it. I haven't heard of screen burn, but I guess that is something to watch for. Hopefully a fix will be in the rumored update!!

Thanks syrguy. 1 - yes, numerous apps (Winterface, S2U2 unlock). I think I may have solved this yesterday when I ditched the Samsung dialer and went with the default WinMo one using the registry hack on the first page.

Now, I just have to figure out how to get this phone stop beeping at my for low battery all the time and disabling calling functions when the battery is low. I see some hack how to do it, but I must hav entered it wrong because it did not work for me. Time to try again.

That hack for the battery did not seem to work for me. The phone is still constantly going "da da duh" every few minutes when the battery gets down to 20% or so.

I have a Batti application I installed, but the settings on that program do not seem to do anything. There is an advanced setting tab on there that makes it look like you can control the percentage at which you get notifications of battery low, battery critical, power off, etc. events. However, my phone does not seem to obey those when I change them. My guess is the i910 does its own thing that takes precedence over this application.

The little annoyances of this phone drive me crazy sometimes. :0
