No, rotationservice allows you to control which apps will use the motion sensor, and switch to landscape. It works on a per application basis.

As for Omnia SIP, I hear ya. I stopped using it because I dont like soft resetting all the time.

increase SMS/MMS space!

When using threaded messaging, it only gives you a small area to see your text between above messages and the keyboard. You can increase this by copying this file to \Windows.

Unzip and copy it, using something like resco.

As for WMWifiRouter, I will get back to you on it when I have more time. Yes, it works with VZW.

Has anyone figured out how to make that Fugly clock look better? I know there are two default choices, but can we turn it into a flip clock or maybe an analog clock (perhaps with opacity)?

That would be sweet!

Hey I don't know if anyone has tried this, I stumbled on it by accident, but I was noticing that I wasn't getting very good battery life/performance I would use the internet for about 20 mins and I was already down to 80% and my the end of my 8hr day i'd be down to 60%, then I would get a phone call and "low battery warning" so I started to look into getting another battery that was 1500mah and only 19.99

so I put my phone to charge last nite and just out of curiosity I wanted to see the capacity of my battery, i removed my battery my phone while it was plugged in, and when I put the battery back on and then I saw an animated battery meter, showing my phone was charging...I didn't need the phone so I left the phone off and let it charge...I wasn't able to let it charge completely, so at 3:15am, yes A.M. I unplugged it and when i used my phone today I used the internet for about 45 mins to an hour, and it still showed 100% about 20 text messages and 6hrs later it dropped to 80% and stayed at 80% till about 7pm was on the phone for about an hour down to 60% and still going...

I dont think I need to do this every night, but if anyone was having battery life issues u may want to try this at least once and see if it improves.

Sync your contacts and calendar with Google online, instantly using licensed Exchange tech from MS.

http://www.google.com/mobile/default/sync.html

Shame it won't do Email, too in the same manner. Maybe later, as its still beta.

Good luck with this. They went live with Google Sync yesterday,and judging by the posts/comments on Gizmodo, Engadget, Lifehacker, et al, it's been a big "booooo..." Fairly typical of Google to release something long before it's ready and just make the excuse "Hey... it's beta."

Evidently even if you do get it working, it will only sync 5 calendars, while NuevaSync.com syncs up to eight; so I'm sticking with NuevaSync.com until Google gets their s**t together.

I am using it since it launched. Not a problem.

Put in server name, username and password and off I went.

I switched from Thumbcal to Calendar Touch though because for whatever reasons, Thumbcal is causing me sync problems with how it enters data into the calendar.

Painless. Aside from the battery drain, of course.

That is freaking AWESOME!!!!!! This is perfect. I can't believe how AMAZING my Omnia is now!!! I hated that I couldn't see my text message, now I can. Thank you so much.
