Eh, AGIS only in SG set? Mine has an FMG warranty sticker inside the phone.
Unless FMG initially brought in SG set...

I usually mute my GPS. Sometimes get annoyed by the "Turn left in 50 metres....turn left....turn left...recalculating"...

Garmin can be "quite tricky to install" but once it has been installed its way better than the others (so far for Malaysia and Singapore) as there is an active online community constantly updating the maps in Garmin format (Malsingmaps)
Papago is nice too, just that I can't find updated maps for it.

Try wiping out all storage and do hard reset method 2. It will restore the phone to actual factory default. You will lose all data though. I suspect its due to some files left in "My Storage" affecting the phone's performance.

Cool! I didn't know that. Time to play around with it....
Sigh, I heard about the bluetooth stuff too. There were some countries that tried to ban bluetooth devices but failed due to public outcry. Cross fingers and hope it will be the same here. If they do ban it, then newer cars with built-in bluetooth functions on the car stereo (e.g. newer Kia, BMW etc.) will be prohibited, which will be silly...

EDIT: I checked Papago. Not suitable for me. I have to use Malsingmaps as it is more detailed for rural areas. Malfreemaps is not as detailed as Malsingmaps and Malsingmaps only frequently updates in Garmin format.

Yup, I bought 2 cheap flip casings for RM15 each from eBay, white and black. They are quite slim and protects the phone well but did not last long for more than a month, the plastic holder broke...
Then I went all out and got a Melkco flip-up twin colour leather casing (RM90, super bulky) and a Noreve flip leather (super sleek but nearly RM300. It's really worth it though)

lol, that can be prevented. Every week, polish it with mink oil. It will smell nice and soft after polishing. Sayang sayang it...

Flash your CSC which supports Chinese characters. Look for either HK, Taiwan or custom Singapore (XSO) CSCs in Modaco forum.

Well, the main purpose of mink oil is to have a protective layer on top the leather to condition it as well as preventing dirt and grime from adhering to it. So if you do it weekly from the time you got the casing, it should stay clean. If it does get too dirty, then use leather cleaner. Sometimes, it just makes me wonder why don't I just get a plastic casing...hehe

I8000NXXIJ9

O.o Maybe I am a little outdated on that info.....

EDIT: No wonder, it was discovered yesterday by NewForce. If that is the case, then I am not sure on the latest firmware for Malaysia.

+1000! How true. To simplify it, WinMo is a geek phone.
Geek in a good way, of course.

iPhone is a flashy gadget with out of the box experience and that's all it is. Good for those who does not want too much hassle though.

@wanttobuylaptop

Just hit the "hang up" key once. It's like "Show Desktop". To focus on the app again, go to either task manager or task switcher and re-select the app to foreground.

Yup, had that same problem too. I had accidentally set my phone to check my mailbox every few hours. Bill went all the way to my max allowable limit and then got locked...

NoData works as mentioned. Install the app, run it and then disable the access point in the list except MMS. By doing that, you will still be able to receive/send MMS as what moxshax has mentioned.

Yes, NoData from Modaco. There is only one NoData. BTW, I have already mentioned it on my previous post, which you have just quoted it.

This is normal. This is because Opera 9.5 did not preload the contents for that location so when you slide to that position, Opera has to load it. Now there's Opera 10, which has a lot of improvements over 9.5

IE does not support autorotate on some firmwares.


Yes, it can run TF3D. I am now using TouchFLO 3D 2.0.
It can also run Sense 2.1 and 2.5 but very sluggish unless you overclock your phone.
If you want to test it out, you can try TouchFLO 3D 1.3 though. It is not as difficult to install when compared to TF3D 2.0 and the only difference between the two is that 2.0 has a calendar tab.

I am using Swype 3.9 (taken from HD2) and EzInput 2.1. If I want to type other than English, I use EzInput. For English, it's Swype. Perfect combination for me..
I use EzInput because it has arrow keys. With big fingers like me it's difficult to tap to a word to correct a typo.

Yes. This applies to either stock firmwares or custom firmwares with cube installed.

Was your phone already switched off or was it on sleep mode before you tried pressing the power key? If it was on sleep mode, you phone software crashed. Usually it is caused by a program. Which one? That you need to find out. If not, a hard reset would cure it. If it was already off before you tried to hold the power key, something's not right.

Anyway, either way is not a good sign for your phone.

Go to Opera's website. It will guide you to install Opera Mobile 10 on your phone.
http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/

Can't exactly remember which firmware does not support auto rotation for IE but I do know that its from the earlier IJ firmwares.

Read the below topic ;-
http://www.modaco.com/content/i8000-verizo...-i-got-it-back/

Main Storage contains both Samsung OEM apps and core Windows files. This explains why almost half of it is reserved. The remaining space is for your own files.

You need to modify the registry setting to enable front camera.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Camera]
"SupportFrontCamera"=dword:00000001

Details on how to modify your registry can be found in Modaco or XDA-Developers forums.

Oops, forgot to mention that stock original ROMS don't have that key. You have too add it manually.

I think you mean Omnia Pro. Omnia II and Omnia Pro have almost identical hardware. The only main difference is that Omnia Pro has a QWERTY keyboard, a LED indicator for notifications, built-in stylus slot and a smaller AMOLED screen. Omnia II has a 3.7 inch screen whereas Omnia Pro only has a 3.5 inch.

As what chteh0721 mentioned, there is no such thing as ' the best phone '. It all depends on which phone suits you best.

As of today, it is impossible:-

1. Windows Phone 7 has very different system requirements.
2. Even if you manage to port the core OS over, there is no vendor driver support. Therefore, most of the peripherals (e.g. WiFi, BT, Radio etc.) will not work.
3. IF there is a community willing to re-write all Omnia II i8000 drivers for Windows Phone 7, then it MIGHT be posssible. Chances are very slim though as it is a very tedious task and does not provide much benefits other than pleasing hardcore O2 fans.

IMO, our O2 will stay with WM 6.5.x OS and if successful, Android too.

I am using the Capdase PowerMount 2.1
http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid...&mid=6&pid=8147
Got it last Sept for RM100.

The build quality is excellent but it is required to either modify the USB charger section (short USB pins 2 and 3. This tells the O2 to enable charging mode) or the cable in order for the O2 to start charging, which is expected.
