New Omnia-2 issues

[y0himba]

I have searched the forum, but with the terms I am searching for, there is so much information to browse through, and I am an old man and all that.

I have used this forum and set up my new Omnia i910 to my liking, including tethering. There is almost every question and issue on this forum and I have really been able to set the phone up thanks to the information here.

The phone already came with the Samsung ROM version listed in another thread here, the update from Samsung that unlocks the GPS, which I have working with Google Maps and GPS Weather Radar. I can even install widgets, although I have yet to find any.

Bear in mind I have done nothing other than install HTC X Button, Skyfire, Palringo, and a few games. Other that that it is exactly as it came from Verizon.


I have two issues I cannot seem to resolve.

Question One: When I set the phone to Auto Answer (I drive a lot and use the Bluetooth headset) there is this persistent notification I cannot get rid of. If I restart the phone it returns. It takes over my left soft key which I have customized to "Contacts". It simply will not go away.

I tried the registry key trick found here, and I am sure I have gotten rid of the charged notification, which also would not go away without a reset. However, it doesn't work for the Auto Answer notification.

How can I get rid of this notification? I don't want or need to see it, but the ability to dismiss it would be wonderful.

Question Two: The Weatherbug widget just suddenly stopped working. If I drag it to the "desktop" of the phone, the loading icon just stays, and it does not appear, nor can it be clicked on. It was working when I went to bed last night, this morning, it just sits there loading. No changed to the phone, no restarts. I then tried disabling/enabling it, nothing. Tried restarting the phone, nothing. Tried shutting the phone off and on, nothing. Network settings are correct, the defaults. Has this happened to anyone else?

EDIT: I think I double posted this. It is late and I am old. Sorry, please delete one of them if I did.
