Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!

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

"My guess is the i910 does its own thing that takes precedence over this application."

That is among the little changes Samsung made. I could have sworn I saw somewhere to set the battery level for the alarm to show, but I can't find it now. I think the best way around it is to track down the alarm-tone used for the low battery alert (I would guess in the same location as the 'charged' tones.) and do the same as the other fix....replace it with a silent tone (attatched earlier in this thread).

I wish I could give specifics, but I haven't had a low battery alert since the first couple days I have had my Omnia. Maybe someone else knows which tone it is!

The notification hack only disables the warning level, which is at 40% or so. At 20%, its considered critical, and a separate notification altogether.
