Exciting things are happening =)

care to elaborate more??

rgds

TouchFlo3D on Omnia II is exciting for me.

Other than that if you read modaco's you'll learn a lot more.

More updates:

2 Nov 2009 – 3:10pm: Elaine from Samsung custormer service called me up asking for details – warranty card and proof of purchase which I have submitted to Mobile City when making the complaint. I actually forgot to duplicate the documents. What I have now is only service acknowledgement form from Mobile City. She promised to call me back once she get more details from Mobile City. She never call me back today!!!!

2 Nov 2009 – 8 pm: Mobile City outlet salegirl sent me SMS saying my phone still not ready and will need another day for SC to check. Called up the manager (Sammy) but got the same message. This is getting nowhere !!!!!

3rd Nov 2009 :
9:15am: Elaine from Samsung CS called up and to inform that they have got all the documentation (warranty card and receipt) and they are willing to replace me with a new phone or cash back but will need to wait within 1 month period for processing!!!! Bloody hell!!! Her boss promised to call me back within 1 hr for further discussions. She wasn;t willing to provide her boss contact number.. Hmmmm

9:30am: Not satisfied, I called up Mobile City northern region manager (got the number after calling their HQ in Subang Jaya). She was shocked when I told her it would take 1 month to replace the phone. She promised to follow up and call me back ASAP.

9:55am: The Northern region manager called me up and told me that I can get replacement within 1 or 2 days when the outlet receives their latest shipment. The outlet will call me up once they got the new phone. Apparently, she called up Samsung HQ to verify the replacement status. Basically outlets will agree for 1 to 1 replacement if they have stock AND if the service center had confirmed the phone defect is due to manufacturer’s fault.

10:00 am: Received another call from Mobile City outlet manager asking me to get the new phone at around 6pm today.. Yippe kaye…at last She will call me again once the courier delivered the phone to them.

10:10am: Elaine called me up again to confirm on the deal.

Wish me luck my friends..

i. 1st make sure the value at HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI is indeed changed to 0
ii. then soft reset your device
iii. you should see the <Rotate Screen> option in the 'Buttons' page like below:

dude you need to go to setting and Disable Touch Wiz UI , than click start go to settings , you will see it there, after you assigned the button , you can enable touch wiz ui in the settings again.

1. Not necessary to disable TouchWiz (WM 6.5 in default already has touchwiz disabled) as long as you have modified the registry settings. Once modified, you can change the button functions directly from Samsung's customised Settings menu. Its under one of the submenus. Phone's on low battery so I can't give you the exact directions to the submenu as yet.

2. Check Modaco forums in "Omnia i8000". As for keyboard, you can try EzInput (I have not tested it myself) or FingerKeyboard (Using it now, quite handy especially the arrow keys).

just changed to WM6.5, cnnot see chinese and cannot input chinese how?

This is due to either:-
1. The firmware (PDA Part) does not support Chinese
2. CSC does not support Chinese
3. Both of them.

If you used the WM6.5 firmwares provided by Secany from Modaco, those are not Chinese supported. You need a third party software (not sure which one but if I'm not mistaken its Plum SIP or something, search around)

If you updated it from Samsung Service Centre, then either request for Chinese. If none, then temporarily downgrade to 6.1 first until a Chinese one is out. (FYI, there is also a Chinese 6.5 FW somewhere in i8000 Modaco forum but its an older revision of WM 6.5, might have some bugs).

guys,

I got my new replacement phone sharp at 6:30pm today, on the 2nd day after I wrote the official email to Samsung yesterday. Confirmed SN, checked for any abnomalities and now i'm back exploring the phone's features.

Key take aways:
1. Samsung CS responding to my official email and attending to my complaints is A++ (for a Malaysian std). U hear that Samsung..let;s give credits where credits due..
2. However their processing time of replacement or cash back policy need improvement. One month? C'mon..
3. I think this Mobile City outlet was trying their best to help me getting the replacement (albeit all the esclations though). I have no problem buying a new phone from them again in future. However, my advice is when buying new phone, make sure to choose an authorized outlet. Better still go to big authorized outlet which has few units on hand. U will have better chance to get replacemetn on the spot if anything goes wrong. The outlet where i bought the phone basically only has only one set any one time. T
4. Tough luck for all the SG sets
5. if u are shopping for new O2 , avoid a set with SN: 3523 4403 0504 795 at all cost..dont tell me i didn't warn u...


Any further input??

Glad to hear you sort it out. Based on your feedback, i've to say Samsung did a very good job...but still the lower level grunts are not taking enough action and it's only when the bigger bosses are notified then only action can be seen.

btw, I don't believe those 8 hours charge first time myth...we are using lithium ion batteries nowadays, not nickel cadmium anymore....it's not needed.

I am a new Omnia 2 user. Appreciate your help, Youtube video can't play. Always get Time Out message.

Thanks in advance!

TouchFlo3D rocks
i prefer this more than SPB shell
hope they can finalize the fixes soon

btw, here's a clip of TouchFlo3D on Omnia II

wow looks very good , very smooth too ,,,, I want it.

I like and I want! Wonder how much is the memory usage.

For me, the mem usage hovers around 10-15MB. Tried it for a day but decided to remove it 'cause it made my phone slightly sluggish. Expected though, its only the first technical release.

Note though, when I installed it, I lost Wifi functionality. Had to do a hard reset to get it back...
Using IJ9 FW.

it uses about 30MB for the installation, and it needs to be installed on the device memory
indeed, it will lag from time to time, but i have no problem with the wifi at all
i'm using IJ6 though

anyway, this is still an early release, so i'm sure they can fix it in no time!!

ok i have a battery problem like the one someone had mention before. it feels hot at the back and the battery runs out fast. however, sometimes the battery ok and its not hot. its being bothering me for 2 weeks now. kejap ok, kejap x.....

my steeaming player kinda gila already. it was ok last week, but suddenly kantoi. it would say 'data or sever time out' or it would buffer half-way only or it would play, but no visual comes out and the audio would be like when we fastfoward something... or sometimes it would play ok.
today it even stuck or lag when i open streaming player. ihave turn off the phone to stop it.
my phone ikut mood if ut wants to run smoothly is it? lol

can i go to any samsung store to try and fixed this problem? because i bought this phone at LWP and i live in kedah~
thanks^^

Sounds like there are a lot of background applications running on your phone, which explains the lags, crashes and heating up. The heat is most probably due to the CPU constantly running at full load. Had this problem before when I lent my O2 to my friend. When I got it back it was sluggish and the phone was warm all the time, batt ran low in several hours. Fired up Task Manager and shockingly found several apps and games running in the background.

Did you change the function of 'X' button in Settings menu?
Try it. Set it in a way that when you hit the 'X' button, it closes the application instead of minimising it to the background. It should help.

Note though, WM phones are unlike normal phones where by pressing the 'Hang Up' key exits the application. Instead, WM only minimises it.
As for the Streaming player, till now I have not even got it to work the way I want it.... sad...
