Hi all,
i just updated to winmo 6.5. the samsung shop that i bought my omnia told me that they can update for me. but i have some queries to ask

1) i cannot find any icon for the windows 'settings'. the only icons that i can find in the start menu is the samsung's settings. how can i go the the windows settings page?

2) the sms is in threaded view ( with the blue & orange bubble dialog). does the original version of winmo 6.5 comes with this?

isn't all the unlimited software upload can be self uploaded?

yes, we can DIY ...just that what i mean is with additional cost the shop offer you the unlimited service of upload instead of
you do it yourself. I'm not that familiar with this, so not sure is it worth or not.

Added on December 3, 2009, 12:55 pmOh..that's what I heard that new set should come with win 6.5..but the shop told me different thing. .
Is FMG at Summit offer the OS upgrade service as well?

From what I know, you can extend the warranty to 18 month for FMG set if you register online at the samsung website. you don't need the shop to do it for you. But not for brightstar, Brightstar will only get 12 mths warranty. I think that is why Brighstar sets are more cheaper. Both Brightstar and FMG are official Samsung distributors in Malaysia.

That is great info! Thanks for sharing.

Anybody feel regret buying this phone ??

you regret? can share?

Dear all, I'm planning to get this Omnia II after doing some research. I have tried ip 3gs but don't really like it so sold it off.
Currently, I got few offers and cannot decide which to take. I also need some advices regarding this powerful gadget.

1.) Which offer should I take?
a.) Full original FMG package + 8GB class 4 memory card + jabra bluetooth + unlimited software upload service -> 2300
b.) Full original FMG package + 4GB class 4 memory card + normal bluetooth + unlimited software upload service -> 2200
c.) Full original FMG package only + Samsung Bluetooth WEP 850 -> 2200
d.) Full original FMG package only -> 2070



hi...just curious..why you willing to pay for RM2k while you can get a sinangapore set ar RM1600 from forumer?

pls share with me more...

It is quite sluggish and laggy , always get into some problem with device and I have to restart the whole thing which takes a long time , like last time I try to get into my sms through the widget than it wouldn't go , so I tried restarting the device than it is fixed, so i run into little things like that all the time.

I love the screen and the camera it is the best i have tried so far , but the phone operation is not smooth at all , it is getting quite annoying for me... thinking of selling it getting a simpler phone....I guess i just hate windows mobile 6.5, and I expected the device to be much faster before I buy i did research on the internet everyone was saying oh it is very fast phone got 800 mhz processor , honestly i don't feel it being very powerful ,

I think the hardware is great but the software is ruining the experience for me, if only there was a way to put another OS like android or something else like we do with laptops it would have been great , but it is not possible at the moment.. , we got such a beautiful screen but the windows mobile os cannot doesn't have wide color range which means the AMOLED screen is not efficient with this OS? Samsung shouldn't have used windows mobile for this device,.

what do you all think ?

@JasonMania

why dont you try HD2

it is also another great device , but too expensive, and it is still Win Mobile ,

omnia 2 is already much better than many smartphones out there.
You should try omnia 1 or htc diamond, then maybe you'll appreciate omnia 2 more...

About the sofware, yes I have to agree it's worse than the omnia 1. Not that many options that can configure.. and laggy at times, especially when battery running low..


BTW, if lag is your main concern, then you can consider HD2 as it does not lag, at least that's what many reviewers wrote.

1) registry tweak...hmm ...try googling around...it works for me
2) mine does have (updated online via NPC). but i disabled it.personally not very fond of the threaded layout.

hi copperhead,

mind sharing which shop u bought that casing and how much ? looking one for my beloved omnia 2 also

thanks

@JasonMania

I guess that we just expect it too much and compare it with our desktop speed with the mobile speed...

OmniaII is my first Winmo phone which i change from K810i...
i actually expect it to be worst but somehow makes me addicted to it now.
i got threaded sms, capable install funny funny games and i like the Samsung touchwiz interface
I know some part of it is slow but what is the rush anyway...
battery life is great and AMOLED is great... I am actually a HAPPY user now

Hi everyone, new Omnia 2 user here

I'm interested in flashing a new version of the firmware to my phone, and tried d/ling the Octan's D/loader as well as the stable uncooked ROM, (I8000XXIJ6, if I remember correctly), but Rapidshare's server doesn't allow me to d/l it at all.

Can anyone share a copy of Octan's (or any other similar software to flash the Omnia 2's firmware) with a newbie?

Where can i disable the threaded layout? i cant seem to find it?
Thanks!
