Just updated my wife's phone to WinMo 6.5 this morning at Samsung's SC after repeated failed attempt to do it via NPS.

I found it to be much faster than Win 6.1, especially the widgets. In Winmo 6.1, the widgets are the main reason the phone lags. Now the widgets startup time is much faster! Dunno what u guys are complaining about.....can't wait to install back SPB and other stuff into it. Flipping the homescreen left/right is also faster and more responsive!

WinMo 6.5 FTW!

In 6.1 the lag is mainly in the homescreen, whenever u flip next page, widgets reload again. Frankly, the only lag part is the main homescreen. If u use SPB, no such issue. Very fast, even the 3D spinning carousel(whatever u call that).

In 6.5, the homescreen has improved very much, but still not as speedy as SPB 3.5 in WinMo 6.1.  Haven't try SPB 3.5 in WInMo 6.5, but i expect it to be just as speedy.

Right now, i'm very jealous of wife's phone....makes my Nokia 5800 looks so uncool.... But my 5800 auto-rotate is still better than Omnia II though. I still wonder why the Omnia II doesn't auto rotate everywhere...

New problem discover, dunno is it the ROM problem, i update using Samsung NPS, whenever i plug in as USB Storage for file transfer with my laptop, after done, remove the phone, the phone it become slow, pls. help to check which version your using, My is IJ9. how about your, especially those update by samsung SC & claim the phone is faster & stable.

ahh... the lag part doesn't always happen. After clean install it's always without problem. Same like pc win os. But when you start installing software which consumes RAM then it'll lag, from time to time, not all the time. Sometimes it lags for no reason at all. Soft reset will always fix the lag, however, how many of us do a soft reset at least once in a week?

about the auto rotate, omnia i900 can auto rotate everywhere. It might be due to the winmo 6.5, but I'm not sure. There is a registry fix to enable rotate everywhere for omnia 2 but I forgot which part needs to be changed. It has been discussed in other forums.

Anyway, Omnia 2 is still a very good phone. Which smartphones out there that doesn't have hiccups sometimes?

Oh, just found it. Here's the guide for tweaking your omnia 2. Omnia 2 Tweak

Hey guys.
Just want to ask - if i run NPS to update the Omnia II, will it only update the main memory and not touch the 8GB memory, or it will delete the 8GB ?

Thanks

It will flash your phone & you will get like new phone, mean everything gone, so remember to backup your personal data include of song, photo contact, document.....etc....

Done more testing tonight. Installed back some apps, restotred previous backup b4 firmware update, configured the home WIFI, and transfer files to/from using the Sync/File Manager using the USB connection multiple times. No problem at all.
