Samsung I8000 Omnia II

user posted image

Samsung's top tier of Omnia devices is populated by some seriously heavy-hitters - first the 720p video recording Omnia HD and now the Omnia II - with its best-in-the-business display, WM 6.5, zippy processor and preloaded software galore, it will certainly win the hearts and minds of Windows Mobile fans.

It's no secret that the Samsung Omnia II has the HTC Touch Diamond2 in its sights. The Omnia II has several advantages, not the least of which is the amazing 3.7" AMOLED WVGA display. For the acronym-allergic - WVGA means 480 x 800 pixels resolution, which several years ago might have been considered acceptable for a computer monitor. That resolution is not so uncommon today, the exciting part here is "AMOLED" - active matrix organic LED. Or in plain English - brilliant picture quality.

It doesn't end there - the 800MHz CPU is one of the speediest around and the available capacities of up to 16GB built-in memory and up to 32GB external storage via microSD card offer more than enough memory expansion. There's Wi-Fi and GPS, the autofocus camera shoots 5MP stills and D1 video at 30fps and has dual-LED flash, there's DivX playback out of the box and HSDPA and HSUPA push the phone to great wireless speeds.

Had this superb pda come 3 weeks now and is still performing superbly. Can't wait for the official wm6.5 to be released come Oct 6. Hopefully Samsung can do their official release within the same month as well.

Frankly I am not too sure.

The ROM above comes preinstalled officially from Samsung in the other part of the world. It is newer version.

Hi Auhckw,

After you upgraded the firmware to H6, will you still be able to write & read chinese in your Omnia 2 with this new ROM ?

Try Resco Explorer with the Registry Addin. It's one of the best so far.

If you are adventurous, you can try the Mozilla Fennec.
Skyfire? I don't see that on my Omnia II...

Are there any performance differences with the new IH6 firmware?
Mine is I800XXIG1. Is it worth the upgrade because by upgrading I will lose all my data.

Oh yeah, add me into the list too... tongue.gif

Garmin XT works like a charm rclxms.gif

The initial lockdown might take a couple of minutes. However if you enable XTRA Server in the GPS setting, the lockdown could be shortened to less than 20 seconds. The data downloaded from XTRA Server is valid for 6-7 days before you need to re-download again. You can opt for the download via ActiveSyn when ur OII is connected to your PC with internet connection...

I feel it is faster on H6.

Btw, H9 is out. I am waiting for rapidshare links.

Note: H6 and H9 is Taiwan/English ROM.

I am currently using Garmin Mobile XT with MalfreeMaps. Software version id 5.00.20wp
One quirk for me though. When I first ran Garmin I had to stand under the clear sky and wait for more than 10 mins just to get a good lock.
After that attempt, now the GPS locks on quickly but of course it still can't beat external Bluetooth GPS devices especially the BT 737 A+. It locks in less than 10 secs, 50 sat. capability and double the sensitivity.

3-4 bars when I'm driving in KL... the XTRA server is only meant for improving the startup/lockdown of the satellite signal... during navigation.. it falls back to the normal satellite radio signals...

the touch wiz is laggy no doubt but you could you SPB Mobile Shell for alternative UI..IMHO, SPB is much better as you can customize your UI similar to touch wiz but minus the laggy..

OK, tested it. Not exactly to my liking though. The layout is crude. Not as refined as Garmin Mobile XT. Maps are also not as detailed as MFM and MSM maps.
Looks like its more suitable for Singapore maps.
GPS lock on is about the same as Garmin's.
However, I need to set the GPS baud rate to 9600 for NavFone and 57600 for Garmin. As for me, I'll stick to my trusty ol' Garmin. smile.gif

Dang, been looking all around for that kind of casing... The stock pouch is troublesome. When someone calls me, by the time I managed to take my phone out... 1 miss call.

you can turn off the stock lock screen by going to Samsung's 'Setting'->'Display & Light'->'Lock Screen' and untick 'Lock when device is woken up'

The satelite lock for Omnia II is pretty slow on Garmin Mobile XT despite having XTRA/A-GPS support. Not sure if it works better on other software.

It is quite slow for the first startup. I guess its the weak antenna inside. When I first used the GPS it took me more than 10 mins to get a lock. After that it only takes less than a minute.

GPS lockdown speed is hardware matter,not software.
regardless of whether u use garmion or agis,the lockdown speed should be similar..
o ya...did u guys notice the gps extender slot when u open up the back case?
looks like those in my old dopod d810..

Couldn't agree more. smile.gif

Yep, I have noticed the GPS socket. Its an MCX connector. I have an external GPS antenna but I have no idea how to plug it in while keeping the back case closed.
A future custom or extra enhancement back panel, maybe? whistling.gif

For ROM - http://www.modaco.com/category/410/i8000-o...000-modaco-com/

Currently I have not come across cooked ROM for Omnia II yet. But Samsung seems to release their ROM quite fast. At times, 3 times a week.

3D gaming for the Omnia 2 is still in progress. This is because the O2 uses OpenGL ES V2 which provides big 3D improvements but unfortunately is not backward compatible with OpenGL ES V1.
This means that all current 3D games and applications (e.g. TouchFlo 3D, Asphalt 4 3D with IGP support etc.) will not work with the O2.....yet..
*cross fingers* There is a topic in Modaco on trying to create a compatibility layer for it.
More details on Modaco.

just got back, did a short survey at Lowyat

PDAExpert offering 8GB model for RM 2380 with free 8gb MicroSD and all their standard free package (screen protect & programs).
Without the SD card is RM 2350.
Theirs is FMG set with 12 mths warranty.

Samsung Mobile 1st floor (seller's name: LAM) selling for RM 2100, standard set/package only.
Theirs is Brightstar set with 12mths warranty.

The thing is from my survey some shop claimed that Brightstar set is actually AP set and FMG is the original ORI. wonder if that is REALLY true. hmm.gif

Anyone has inputs or opinions on this?? shocking.gif rclxub.gif

RM2346 including 1 year extended warranty, actually RM2300 is enough... but i lazy to talk and talk and talk just to save RM46... biggrin.gif

the 1 year extended warranty covers screen, speaker, buttons, etc, basically hardware faults.




to the rest... really sorry to say this...

while waiting for my Omnia2 to be updated, I was playing with HTC Diamond 2 and HTC Touch HD, prices for these units drop, significantly.... i should say...

if you still prefer HTC, might give it a shot. thumbup.gif

That's quick for a price drop. I bought mine from PDAExpert 3 weeks ago for RM2399 WITHOUT 8GB MicroSD card, FMG set. sad.gif

FYI, I am not sure about other companies but from what I know it is confirmed that FMG is the "sole" official distributor for Samsung mobiles, just like as Avaxx and Zitron for Nokia sets.

All Samsung Omnia II's are made in Korea. No difference between AP and Official set.
Package contents and warranty will be different though.

generally non HTC windows mobile devices tend to fall faster (the price) due to the fact that its market capture are not really win mo fanboys. More like samsung fanboys. so the price fall follows how normal phone prices fall (which is pretty fast). Case in point, the Xperia. IMHO compared to HTC seriously underpriced. good tho, for us hardcore win mo late buyers. especially second hand. drool.

OoOokkkk..... Didn't know there's a Brightstar around. unsure.gif

I think what ehsandy meant is the price difference.
Also, I have been checking Brightstar and FMG.
FMG is a multinational company headquartered at HK with other branches at USA, Dubai, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Philippines.
Whereas Brightstar is a local Malaysian company.
My mistake. Brightstar is also a multinational company. http://www.prnasia.com/pr/09/07/09466311-1.html 15 July 2009
Err...price difference... Introductory price, maybe? blink.gif

EDIT: Brightstar is HUGE. Bigger than FMG. HQ at USA with more than 40 branches around the world.

Anyway, I came across this. The Omnia II is confirmed with the codename I8000.
Look what I found at Brightstar's website...
I8003
Samsung Jet widely known as S8000 shows as I8003 on their site.
A variant or a typo?

Just that you found those shops that sell FMG set that is selling more expensive. As reported in this thread & proven in lelong.com.my, there are FMG sets selling at RM 2100 or maybe lower.

if that is the case, why is there significant difference between units from FMG and Brightstar.

standard warranty by these two company are the same.
*
i guess since FMG was used to be the de facto original sets distributer for Samsung and most Samsung buyers are not aware of the additional distributors ie: Brightstar........ so taking this short opportunity to milk more from consumers......

mine is a BrightStar set, too.

OoOokkkk..... Didn't know there's a Brightstar around. unsure.gif

I think what ehsandy meant is the price difference.
Also, I have been checking Brightstar and FMG.
FMG is a multinational company headquartered at HK with other branches at USA, Dubai, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Philippines.
Whereas Brightstar is a local Malaysian company.
My mistake. Brightstar is also a multinational company.  http://www.prnasia.com/pr/09/07/09466311-1.html  15 July 2009
Err...price difference...  Introductory price, maybe?  blink.gif

EDIT: Brightstar is HUGE.  Bigger than FMG. HQ at USA with more than 40 branches around the world.

Anyway, I came across this.  The Omnia II is confirmed with the codename I8000.
Look what I found at Brightstar's website...
I8003
Samsung Jet widely known as S8000 shows as I8003 on their site.
A variant or a typo?
*
I got a reply from brighstarcorp, Mr. Brandon.

Just want to clarify that the OMNIA II for Malaysia is tagged as I8000. The product code maybe vary from Europe market whereby it tagged as I8003, but it is the same product. Thank you.





Regards

Brandon

Do you notice the description written there is I8000 while the picture is I8003? blush.gif

I would say this phone is awesome! and yes...the today screen is laggy when sliding pages, Im not sure if new ROM has fix this but I must say SPB Mobile Shell is a wonderful program to replace the today screen, and S2U2 to replace the lock screen. Both of the software is brilliant!

btw...TS please add me to the owner list, thanks!


Added on September 23, 2009, 1:55 pmbtw...I always set any random location when the Garmin trying to search for satellite, I feels that it is much quicker locking down the satellites comparing to waiting for the signals to be green color...personal experience though

The result is not perfect now, but the person said after few days the plastic will settle down nicely.

Anyway, I'm ok with plastic not nice than my whole omnia's back full of fingerprints + oil.

The matte surface is sleek! Mine's glossy and all I see are my fingerprints. Love to have it on mine but is there any way to buy it online or Poslaju?
I am in Sarawak and till now I have not even come across it. Also looking for a flip case for my phone. Hate the standard one. Every time I accidentally pressed the "Reject and send SMS"... sad.gif

You mentioned that you skinned your phone and added a Capdase screen protector. Is the skin also matte like the Capdase?

One thing for sure is that no matter Brightstar or FMG set you still can bring in to any Samsung Service centre for firmware upgrade & servicing.

I got my set here from Brightstar too. The person who sells to me guaranteed that I can walk-in to any samsung service centre for claiming and service if i prefer to or can bring it back to them. either way.

i cant even understand a single word
i need to hang up the line n call them again, then they sound normal
they said they heard the same thing from their end as well

i've never face this problem with my previous phones, is this something to do with omnia ii?

Is either of your number a 016 number?
Mine's a 019 number and a few times this week when I call to a 016 number only either on first call there is no voice, very bad static or super fast chipmunk voice like you experienced. 2nd call then ok. I think it could be a network problem.

Omnia II has three places to store data.
Main Storage: 512MB
Secondary Storage (aka My Storage: 8GB) and
Storage Card (Externel MicroSD card): Depends on card capacity.

Calendars, messages and core phone data will be stored in the Main Storage.
It could be that you have files in My Documents, My Videos, My Music and My Pictures on your computer and you have selected it for Syncing during the creation of a Windows Mobile Sync Partnership.

By doing this, it will be copied to your 512MB memory.
Not sure whether is your problem like this, but this has happened to me before.
Now, I strictly manually copy my videos and install apps and games to the 8GB Section.
I use WMP to sync my music to my O2, specially selecting 8GB as the target.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that you will not get the full 512MB storage for the first location, you will only get free space of 100MB-ish. The rest is reserved for the OS.

first, download resco explorer from here : http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/

* once you enter the download page, click at the "CAB File" button. It will pop up a box whereby you can download CAB Basic File, CAB Registry Editor etc..

download the CAB Basic file and CAB Registry Editor. On your phone, install the Basic file first followed by Registry Editor.

once your done, refer to this page on how to edit the key : http://www.modaco.com/content/i8000-omnia-...al-few-seconds/

then i think you need to soft reset your phone..but do it on your own risk..alternatively you can PM baronic as he has a CAB file that could make your ringtone louder.. smile.gif

Ole, firstly you need to obtain 3G setting from yr operator. Mine is Maxis as follow:

Maxis Mobile Internet 3G
Access point name: unet
Username:
Password:
Account name: Maxis 3G WAP
Proxy server address: 202.75.133.49
Proxy server port:80

MMS 3G
Access point name : unet
Username :
Password :
Account name : Maxis 3G MMS
Proxy server address : 202.75.133.49
Proxy server port : 80
Service center address : http://172.16.74.100:10021/mmsc

For 3G Internet
On Main menu -> Setting -> Basic Setting -> Network setting -> Operator setting -> select Maxis 3G -> Done.
Back to Main menu -> Setting -> Advanced setting -> Connection -> Connection -> tab "My Internet - Manage existing connection -> "edit" Maxis 3G Internet.
Connection name: Maxis 3G Internet (whatever you like)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS) -> next
Access Point: unet -> Next
user name: <empty> -> password: <empty> -> Domain: <empty> -> Finish.
Back to "connection page" -> tab "Manage Existing connections" -> tab on "Proxy Setting" at the bottom.
Tick on both boxes and enter the proxy server IP, Maxis was as above = 202.75.133.49 -> ok.

Quick Test 3G internet connection: tab "Manage Existing connections', tab 'modem' at the bottom -> tab and hold the "Maxis 3G Internet" -> select connect.
~Mine connected now~ icon_rolleyes.gif


For 3G MMS
Goto your Samsung 'SMS/MMS Inbox' page -> tab Menu -> MMS options.
Select Profile -> Edit (or new) Profile
MMS Profile: Maxis 3G MMS -> MMSC: http://172.16.74.100:10021/mmsc -> Data Connection: Maxis 3G MMS -> Gateway: WAP 2.0 -> IP Adress: 202.75.133.49 -> Port: 80

don't think the stock Samsung keypad has it. You can try out Touchpal

it has the phone keypad that you asked for...

I found out that only on some occasions the mode button will light up. e.g. When typing SMS, the mode button lights up but when on Messaging main screen, it is dimmed.

Depends. If your fingers are small, they you may be able to type faster. As for those with big hands (particularly the thumbs, like me), it takes getting used to. First week, I was constantly sending SMS with lots of typos , accidentally hitting the letter next to the the one I want.. (e.g. u becomes i, e becomes w etc.)

lol..me too! but just after 2 days i managed to get used to it..no more typo now ^^ (my thumb is around 2.5cm in diameter eh.. tongue.gif )
well, when reply, if u feel uneasy i will recommend u to use the 12 keypad mode..will be easier.

IMO, the xt9 is SH1T! i hate tat function..cz i dun type sms in PERFECT english and i type a lot of dialects/chinese words in ABC..so its pretty annoying with tat xt9 mode on...

What the cab does is overwrite the wav files with null, silencing all camera sounds. It does not make it selectable.

Head to your Windows Mobile's Windows Directory and remove these files:-
1. AutoFocus.wav
2. AutoFocusFail.wav
3. RecEnd.wav
4. Recording.wav
5. Shutter01.wav, Shutter02.wav, Shutter03.wav
6. ShutterContinuous.wav
7. ShutterSound.wav

Then do a soft reset. The deleted files will be restored with default factory ones.

btw, answering to our fren who has problem with maxis, when u enter yr SIM card OR restart yr phone, the first msg will be to ask u to choose which network u prefer..so tat settings will be automatically done. just choose 3G n wait..thn all settings shud b in there by itself.

hi there...

i had problems like urs previously but now i can use all 3g settings thanks to skymade and solidsnake_84...

wut i did was reset all my operator settings and requested back via re-activation for 3g and mms..

dial *136# for 3g and *133# for mms..will receive message from maxis stating ur connection will be available after 2 hrs n like magic i can use everything..

on how to reset operator connection:

tap on start >> settings >> network settings >> restore connections

then request connection from the 2 provided numbers..

Hope dis will help u out!

mine's even worse...it lags when rotate like urs n the keypad suddenly disappears...i have to rotate back n lock the screen then unlock back then it behaves like normal...such hassle

i think its probably because of the software...seriously thinking of a reset after a few weeks of use

for mine..it takes 1 to 2 seconds to rotate..quite long i wud say but tat's cz my firmware is still G6 (the original one, untouch, nvr modify).i bliv firmware upgrade can solve it.

and, only certain applications can go into landscape mode..for example like solitaire, cant go landscape..

for Luvz,
when it tries to connect to GPRS/3G data transfer just click the cancel..it will pop out rite?

Go to your GPS Settings and double check these settings:-
GPS Program Port: COM7
GPS Hardware port: COM9
Baud Rate 57600
Make sure 'Manage GPS automatically' is ticked then do a soft reset (Switch off phone then switch on again)

Then stand under clear sky and wait patiently....
I know, GPS lock for this phone can be a pain in the ........ sad.gif

Under display settings, you can try set the brightness to max...
And make sure the Auto Adjustment is not selected, its too sensitive to light changes.

With max brightness, its readable for me under the sun and battery lasts for 2 days, not a problem for me as I charge it daily.
If you have matte screen protector it REALLY helps sunlight readability and it also practically removes fingerprint smudges... smile.gif

Another thing, has anyone of you used any leather cases from Noreve? (www.noreve.com)
Contacted them and they told me that the casing for O2 will be released sometime within these 2 weeks.
Like the design, read excellent reviews but the price, kinda ouchy but tempting.

I asked about Vaja cases too (www.vajacases.com) but the rep told me they have not planned on developing one anytime soon...
Btw, my friends bought Vaja cases for their first generation Omnia. Its just sooo sleek...
I tried PDAir's, can't help it but it feels a little el cheapo...

thanks for the reply. Actually, my setting is correct and I frequently soft reset my device. I wonder could it be some software conflict... I never hard reset my device as I'm too lazy to reinstall all my application... Is there any software out there that can use the diagnostic the GPS???

I know, GPS lock for this phone can be a pain in the ........  sad.gif

Under display settings, you can try set the brightness to max...
And make sure the Auto Adjustment is not selected, its too sensitive to light changes.

With max brightness, its readable for me under the sun and battery lasts for 2 days, not a problem for me as I charge it daily.
If you have matte screen protector it REALLY helps sunlight readability and it also practically removes fingerprint smudges...  smile.gif

Another thing, has anyone of you used any leather cases from Noreve? (www.noreve.com)
Contacted them and they told me that the casing for O2 will be released sometime within these 2 weeks.
Like the design, read excellent reviews but the price, kinda ouchy but tempting.

I asked about Vaja cases too (www.vajacases.com) but the rep told me they have not planned on developing one anytime soon...
Btw, my friends bought Vaja cases for their first generation Omnia.  Its just sooo sleek...
I tried PDAir's, can't help it but it feels a little el cheapo...

You need internet access for Google Map as GPS only provides you your location, but not the map. So, you need internet connection to provide you the map.
This is very different from mapking or garmin where you got the map installed in your device.

garmin mobile XT basically is a gps navigation app developed for mobile phones..how it works? you need to pay for it obviously..what it does is, it will lock your position using satellite..once the satellite locks your position, you can start navigating to any destination..

I think you don't really understand what is GPS...
GPS is a signal that enable you to know your current coordinate on earth. It info is basically useless (for layman) unless you got a map.
Google Map is a very small application that use google internet map (which is why you need to online). Without internet connection, you'll only see a dot in your screen.
On the other hand, application like Garmin and mapking have its own map (where you choose which country map you want to download). Since you already got the map inside your device, GPS alone can give you your location in a place.
I hope you understand my explanation..

hmm..if u cant get him, i'll explain in a more not so technical way
GPS = global positioning system, which is a system (or u can call it software wateva u like) to let u know where r u now. it uses satellite WITHOUT data transfer between yr phone and yr telco. so its free to use after u got the software (for instance, Garmin mobile XT)

thn, GOOGLE MAP is just an APPLICATION. just like LYN..a WEB PAGE to let u know where u r USING signal towers. so since its a WEB PAGE, u must pay for data charges when u use...c the diff now?

and yes, u can check yr route, and where u r now without GPS..just a google map will do. but u gotta pay for it and its SLOW SLOW SLOW!

The GPS on your device just receive signal. It does not transmit the signal back to the satellite. Both google map & garmin/mapking will require pickup signal from Satellite to know where you are on the surface of earth. & these satellite orbit around the globe transmitting their position grid (we're just exploiting it). Thus the more sats you pick up, the more accurate it will be. It's just like your radio. You receive signal from tower station. The more tower signal transmitting, the more coverage you get. A-GPS is another great innovation, where by it can communicate with radio towers to pin point location faster than GPS. Yes GPS from Sat will take some time to lock on. Hope that helps.

p.s you need a map. As signal position only indicates in numerical form. you need to turn the position into the map thus, maps will require to reference to the coordinate from gps.

The map (actually images) will be downloaded into your device (I forgot which location...). But the map is a very small area map (just enough to fill up your screen), so when you keep moving, more images (part of the map) will be downloaded.

Love that application. Disabled TouchWiz and then install this...
No lags at all. However, I realised that it consumes slightly more battery power when compared to using the older 3.01 version. After one day, my battery level would drop from 100% to 90%, with the new version, it drops to around 82-81%.

The new SIM card message only appear the first time you insert it, then it will ask you whether you want to load your SIM contacts and Server settings into your device.

Choose to download the Server settings and anything regarding the SIM contacts, after that it will not show the new SIM message anymore.

So, what did you choose? 2G or 3G?

When I got mine, it was G7 and now updated to H3, both don't have such problem.

You can try go to [Start] > [Settings] > [Network Settings] > [Network Options], under Network selection choose Manual.
See if that helps?

I think he meant the picture above which you previously posted.

@Wii_hunter
First, add a picture into your default WM contact.
Then add a contact widget in SPB. The picture related to the contact will then be shown.
Correct me if I'm wrong....

Without that, what's the difference with v3.0.1?

Can't even customize with mskip's widgets like these:

I mean, how many of those mentioned was not already in v3.0.1?

Look at what they've replied to my enquiry:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

They've build this version with only HTC in mind.

We, Omnia owners also paid for the license and they made it only for HTC???

v3.0.1 was my first purchase and the next "FREE" update is only support for HTCs!

I know that, and I'm only using mskip's skills to show that what we can already do with v3.0.1, which IMO, looks better than v3.5

i think the new SPB is great (maybe not so on the battery life) but i somehow prefer to use the default omnia UI..yes i know its laggy but then, i used the phone as my alarm and if i use SPB, the alarm sound is soft and only ring once..i've been trying to find where the sound and tone setting for SPB alarm since i first use it..i did some test though..set an alarm using the default UI then switch to SPB UI..the alarm works but only shows you the notification..no sound..

I mean, how many of those mentioned was not already in v3.0.1?

Look at what they've replied to my enquiry:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

They've build this version with only HTC in mind.

We, Omnia owners also paid for the license and they made it only for HTC???

v3.0.1 was my first purchase and the next "FREE" update is only support for HTCs!

If you have read the previous posts, it explains clearly why Omnia and Omnia II are not supported. Anyway, I'll explain it again.
First generation Omnia definitely won't support 3D as the hardware itself does not have a 3D accelerator chip.
Second generation, Omnia II has a 3D accelerator chip. However,:-
1. It is a Samsung accelerator and does not use Windows Mobile default display driver.
2. It supports OpenGL ES version 2.0 which is not backward compatible to the older 1.x series.

On previous post, I have posted a link about a group creating an OpenGL 1.x compatibility layer for the Omnia II. Still in progress and will take a while because of reason no.1, need to wait till Samsung release the API (something like a guideline) for the 3D chip so that the specific functions and features can be understood better, resulting in a nice driver.

As far as I know, SPB decided to stick to the older OpenGL 1.x because almost all WM phones are still implementing the older 1.x versions (e.g. Toshiba TG01 and HTC phones are still using 1.x). So far phones which I only know using version 2 OpenGL ES are Omnia II, Acer M900, IPhone 3GS and SE Satio.
Due to reason no.2, for the time being its better to design a software which will work with most phones rather than a few ones until OpenGL ES 2.0 becomes mainstream.


FYI, mskip's an independent person. Usually, companies tend not to benchmark themselves with them but create stuff and DEPEND on them to improve. To cut it short, maintain a group of enthusiasts to keep the popularity. E.g. HTC phones in stock may already feel good but to the hardcore ppl, it is not good enough, hence the existence of xda-developer providing out custom cooked roms and constant new hacks but did HTC look at them and create better newer generation softwares, I don't think so. Had before a HTC Touch and HTC Viva and recently used HTC Touch HD, I don't see any hige improvements in software.

If you mean by threaded SMS then you check this one out, SMS-Chat.
http://vitotechnology.com/threaded-sms-messaging.html

In the Modaco forum, there is a thread mentioning that Windows Mobile has threaded messaging but Samsung disabled it by default. There is a way to re-enable it but you will lose MMS support.

Hey guys,

I am currently aiming for Omnia II and would like to know your honest opinions on the phone.

Do you guys recommend the phone to others? Or would you guys suggest a better phone in the same price range? What are the main issues that are plaguing this Omnia II?

I'm sorry that I posted here but I am doing my research on the phone before getting my own. Though I'd expect biased answers, I am hoping for someone to point out the cons of the phone.

Thanks a lot.

That is a firmware upgrade. Omnia II is already on Windows Mobile which justifies what I have just explained previously.
You can't flash a non-windows mobile phone to a windows mobile phone.
Firmware upgrades are only recommended if you are having serious problems and the newer versions fixes them.

If you are daring enough, you can update it yourself. However, one small wrong move will render your phone dead and will require professional service = money money...

To be safe, might as well wait for Windows Mobile 6.5 for Omnia II to be officially released by Samsung so that free service upgrades at service centres are available.

Hope this clarifies it... smile.gif

ayo...u guys make it so misleading.
jz wanna clarify thgs up.
When u buy an SG phone from a lyn seller.one thg that is important is after sale service ma..
u can flash the phone with official firmware yourself at home.
worst come to worst u bricked your phone(unlikely if u r doing official flash),u'll have to send back to SG for wrt claiming.(best if seller will be able to help on that,so check b4 u buy,transportation charges may applied)
most importantly u followed the step by step guide provided and the firmware upgrade is official..they(Samsung SG) will be more than willing to help u to fix the phone.

Of course FMG will not help to flash SG phones,otherwise no one will buy FMG phones d.
same theory applies,when u buy FMG phones,Samsung SG will charge u for any repairs done in Samsung SG service center.
Crystal clear now? wink.gif

Just what I need. Thanks! laugh.gif

Can't deny that its best backward compatibility is the best way to go. However, the changes between version 1 and 2 have been so great that its just either not possible or not worth it. It kinda reminds me back in the days when GeForce 3 was released with programmable shaders and had problems with older GeForce 2 which has fixed shaders.

pros:
well i dun wanna repeat wats the good stuff on Omnia II when official website and newspaper ady got them all..
so below r my honest opinions:
iphone can do a lot with its app store, so why not it be on omnia 2? we may not have such great app store and cooked apps, but we still got a significant flexibility to mod our phone to install apps tat we want. for instance, u can put other phones UI into yr Omnia 2..

2nd one, i seriously need a GPS for me to go outstation, and a little gadget for me to show off..hehe.in tis case, Omnia 2 has become the perfect device for me!
with rm2100 device, i save money to buy nuvi 255, having better gadget than a HTC worth 2500, and a screen tat beats iphone 3GS!

if u wan me to suggest better phone in same price range...i seriously cant giv u any. i've been waiting for tis phone since tis year feb Barcelona mobile phone show case..and the reason is? wat u get is VERY WORTH wat u get...and YES i will recommend this to u.

main issues..hmm..like wat andrew said before, when starting to compose message it is laggy. (u gotta wait for a second or 2 for virtual keyboard to appear)
and, u will ned to surf tis forum frequently and aware of new firmware upgrade..mine nvr upgrade cz lazy.but i heard tat after upgrade it will be smoother..

so far..my phone nvr have any problem..so far so good..excluding SMS laggy, nothing bad =)


Added on October 2, 2009, 6:11 pm[quote=Omnian,Oct 1 2009, 12:16 AM]
Yup, there is still no 3D hardware support for Omnia II yet. Everything you see on screen is software accelerated.

As mentioned, I use addon from mskip's ProPlus Ultimate for Spb Mobile Shell 3.5

It's still new (just released today). So read the other of his ProPlus on his sig, to learn how to change the background.

First Windows Mobile 6.5 for OMNIA II Review

user posted image user posted image

user posted image user posted image

user posted image user posted image

user posted image user posted image

user posted image user posted image

I8000UZNII1 is the 1st firmware base on Windows Mobile 6.5 release by Samsung that currently available download from internet. (Not official from Samsung website)

This firmware actually is specific make for China market, but no issue when using at any OMNIA II phone. The only drawback is it only support Simplified Chinese Interface, which means not possible to switch to English or others languages interface.

Pros of I8000UZNII1:

* Windows Mobile 6.5 (not the latest build 6.5.1)
* Stable (I never face any issue yet like 6.1 which you may face need to restart the phone after a period of time due to some application may not run properly)
* New nice of WM default Start Menu and Today Screen
* Redesign of Samsung Main Menu
* No issue displaying Chinese language everywhere (Include chinese ID-tag in touch player)
* Better preloaded keypad with support of English & Chinese Language
* More finger friendly Interface (at Default Windows Mobile interface)
* Overall speed is good, I believe future firmware will be much more smoother
* A lot of new application preloaded by Microsoft
* New Internet Explorer 6 Interface
* Brightness auto control is working finally, it won't rapidly changing like last time on WM 6.1
* GPS is signal is must more better and faster. (I can locate the signal at 1st use without on the XTRA)
* WiFi standard for China WAPI is support (By default is WAPI, which means you need to disable it before can use in others country include Malaysia as WAPI standard only support in China, but now if I at China, I can use it because WAPI support is included)

Cons of I8000UZNII1:

* Only Simplified Chinese Menu
* ROM size too big
* Start-up screen has change to one of the China operator logo rather than the default Samsung logo
* Got few Junk China operator program (can't uninstall but can delete manually)
* Samsung Main Menu interface got some bugs which prevent you remove the 1st 5 icons. (Solutions is manually remove all icon from start menu to others location, then add in back one icon, with such step the bugs is solved)
* New Samsung Main Menu speed is slowest than Samsung Main Menu at Windows Mobile 6.1
* Smart Search is Remove

Nope, I using Resco Contact Manager for threaded sms if needed.

But I think Samsung has fix up SMS issue even at not threaded version as now it show correctly contact name and number when you open the sms at Inbox and Send. Last time it show back my own number.

Hi New Omnia II user here ...

Does anyone of you guys experience lagging in the camera function...
Mine seems to lag .. when i repeatedly click the shutter twice (eg: 1 click after another click) .. it take some times (about 15-30sec) for me to be able to click the shutter again

Any reply is appreciated !!!

Yep, I am able to replicate it here. I assume your program button is the carousel button bottom left of the main screen is it?

@jianjie
why do u need to assign button to execute s2u2?
in s2u2 setting,u can straight set ur s2u2 to launch when u press the lock/wake up button on the right side of your omnia2.
(however,i found out even when s2u2 is executed(phone in locked mode),camera shutter button still works)
bug i suppose?

@arkana
some thing is not right with your camera.this is not normal.
where u direct your photos taken to?check if it's directed to my storage/my device/storage card.

btw,spb 3.5 works just fine with me.
i've tried your situation and it's working just fine on mine. so i suppose not bug issue?
anyway,spb v3.5 has solve my slow sms load time problem.
i no longer need to wait for the windows clock to spin for 10-15 seconds to enter my inbox. thumbup.gif

have no issue with the hardware lock key + S2U2. All you need to do is to disable the Samsung Lock Screen.

See This SPB mobile shell 3.5 on omnia II. www.youtube. com/watch?v=Cg5JAgwB_TQ. I say it throughly amazing.I think this is the most advantage of 3D hardware accerelator openGL v2.0 on Omnia II compare to the other PDA.

Now i hsave shit load of problem trying to sync the SE K750i to the notebook. It has gazillion problems with bluetooth (ie, doesn't work) and now i use the USB cable, it can detect the phone, but the sync still fails...rclxub.gif

Sony Ericsson PC Suite is utterly crap compared to Nokia PC Suite, which has tons of features and more importantly, IT WORKS. Sigh...now still trying to figure out how to get those contacts in...i wonder if i can send from the K750i to Omnia II directly via BlueTooth...wishful thinking.... doh.gif

you can do it this way: on your K750i, go to contacts->options->Advanced->send all contacts->via bluetooth .. i sent the contacts to my laptop using this method... not sure if it can send to Omnia II direct...

Thanks. Found that out last night after much searching. It's at the bottom of the screen...needs to scroll down then only can see. doh.gif

Ok, now, is there a way to have a 'NEW SMS' shortcut on the homescreen somewhere? I think i found some method by using a shortcut to a 'tmail.exe' program. Is there any more elegant way? Basically, i want a button to click and enable SMS to blank ID, which i then can select. Currently, it can only be select name from list of contacts, then only select NEW SMS.

1. read earlier posts...

2. depends on which phone u buy. SG got map, Navfon i think..Msia dun have. again,read earlier posts...if lazy thn just use the search function located at bottom left

3. yes it has. the same as mentioned by gsmarena..and it uses streaming player to open utube, resulting in a VERY TERRIBLE quality of video..not to mention its snail slow loading rate..

4. depends on wat apps u're opening

hope i answered yr question

Goto Launcher -> Tools -> Show Today Screen. That should take you back to Samsung's UI but SPB will still be running in the backgrouond.
To quit SPB shell Launcher -> Settings -> SPB Mobile Shell -> Tap bottom right of screen -> Exit Shell
As for disabling SPB after soft reset, I have not known of it yet. Anybody care to help on that?

Not now. My wife just start using the phone, suddenly i go change her UI, sure kena wan...lol.

Anyway, i've uninstall the SPB 3.5, but the problem is, the bottom right shortcut which is previously 'PhoneBook' still appears as 'SPBHOME' and when i click it it gives an error message...rclxub.gif.....finally, i've to do a factory reset....and re-sync back all the contacts from the PC....

Frankly, this is my first experience with Win Mobile....can't say i like it.....i still think my Nokia 5800 Symbian OS much more user friendly despite not having so many fancy eye candy.

btw, how do i make the OMNIA II rotates?? It seems only to rotate in SMS screen...other screens cannot? Symbian OS does a much better job at this really...
Having a vertical screen for QWERTY key-ing in sucks.....

Is there somewhere to set this so that it will rotate to landscape whenever i turn it?

I wouldnt say that winmo interface is all eye candy. i prefer to call it functionality because its possible for different users to customize the information they want to see or the shortcuts they want on the main page. yes, symbian is easier to use, but the user interface on the icons menu is still a bit weird because you cant flick thru it, you have to use a scrollbar or drag the icons down to get to other icons.

what other screens u mean?

skyfire did rotate on the pda like touch pro.
due to the phone design, the screen will force rotate when using keybooard.
it is not possible for omnia2 now i guess. so viewin youtube video is like ..
need to move around the screen to catch the video rclxub.gif

anyway i dont think winmo6.5 for omnia2 is up yet ..

I think the person that answer you doesn't know anything. Samsung already received the new win mobile 6.5, but we don't know when Samsung finish tweaking it.

Probably, still, whatever the reason, it is still not available yet.

Come to think of it. It's still 5th October 2009 in the US now? So maybe it'll be release tomorrow.

so its either today or 2molo..

btw, wanna ask, will this 6.5 upgrade renew/upgrade our ROM as well? mine is still the original G6 version..

@lhongwuh, i read it on other forums saying tat SPB mobile shell is better to put in main storage..so..just follow the crowd only...

Not so fast bro.

October 6th is the release from M$.
Device manufacturer needed time to add in their applications, tweaks to the best performance for their apps and devices, then testing and improve the tweaks again before releasing to their users.

I'll say..... hmm.gif 1 month? before we actually get the updates.

No. Honeycomb is the start menu of WM6.5, difference from SPB3.5 which is a UI.

Or, do you mean the Titanium UI? For me, SPB is my choice of UI laugh.gif

I have some problems connecting to the WIFI...what gives?

How do i know the WIFI is connected? I go to the WIFI screen. Can see the blue WIFI access point surrounding the center circle.

So i drag the WIFI icon into the middle icon and it says "connecting to XXXXX". But the dotted line and the icon keeps flashing, and the icon on top keeps showing moving animation.

I'm trying to connect to my home network/wifi using this:
1) Hidden WPA2-PSK - this currently works for all my notebooks and other phones, but Omnia 2 cannot, even after i setup the password and everything.

2) Secondary SSID, Open, No authentication - also failed, keeps showing the flashing icon.

How the h*** do i know if it is connected to the WIFI? Blinking means connected or not? The user manual doesn't says anything!!!

I've set Browser connection to 'Internet', but Opera cannot access the internet.

Please help!! Noob here!

When you're connected, you'll have an icon (1) on your taskbar and you'll also see the signal bars (2) below your connection name.

user posted image

If you can't connect, maybe you have the password entered wrongly, or try move nearer to you wireless hub, without any walls or partition in between your hub and device.

For the connection regarding Opera, see if there are any setting within the Opera browser itself.

Thank you very much.

What i can see is for:
1) The icon on top has the two arrows keeps moving in both direction. Does this means connected or is it not suppose to animate?
2) I can't remember this one, but i'll check

Also in my case, the WIFI AP (In this case, PRESHION icon), the blue circle and the dotted line will keep flashing. I have rule out incorrect password because even an open connection is also the same. Distance is also not a problem as i'm sitting next to the WIFI modem router!!!

If the 2 arrows of the taskbar icon is moving, it means that there are data transfering or your device is trying to connect to your router.

When trying to connect, the blue circle and dotted line will keep flashing, but once it is connected it'll stop.

Do you have the signal bars below the connection name?

ADD: Try unhide your WIFI router.

Thanks, the WIFI is already unhide. But i'm broadcasting multiple SSID...primary hidden and locked, secondary unhidden and unlocked.

At least now i know what to look for. I don't think i've ever seen the flashing stopped.

Can you try delete off both SSID and restart your device.

At the meantime, set your SSID to unhide, but with a password (security lock).

Search and add your (new) SSID on your device.

I've just solved my WIFI woes.

There was a few problems, i discovered:
1) Secondary SSID doesn't seems to work.

Basically my main problem was i MISSPELLED the WIFI name...doh.gif...The first letter is in CAPITAL, but i put LOWER CASE letter....just one letter!!! doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

Anyway, also tweaked the network settings ...maybe that helped too.

Now i've a new challenge...how to put a customized link to make it shown up in the Start Menu? I've created a NEWSMS.LNK and dumped it into the \Windows folder. But it does not show on the screen. Basically i want a CREATE NEW SMS shortcut directly on the Homescreen.

Any ideas??

Windows Mobile 6.5 I8000XXIJ1 Firmware for Samsung OMNIA II Review:

user posted image user posted image

user posted image user posted image

user posted image user posted image

user posted image user posted image

user posted image user posted image

I8000XXIJ1 is purely one of the best firmware at the moment. Recommended. This firmware not support Chinese interface. Supported languages include English, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Russian, Greek, Spanish, Portuguese, Czech, Finnish, Danish, Polish, Swedish & Dutch. Thanks a lot Secany for posting out the firmware. At the moment, Samsung Service Center still don't have any Windows Mobile 6.5 firmware to upgrade yet.

Pros:

* Online widget like Facebook, Youtube and MySpace. no longer spinning except the AccuWeather widget.
* New nicely design Main Menu.
* Threaded SMS support officially this time.
* Capable of displaying Chinese wording.
* Smooth overall.
* Default lock screen is smooth not like the simplified chinese version (I8000UZNII1) leak last week.
* Main Storage free more than 100MB.
* The best WiFi speed so far. (No need do connection restore like I8000UZNII1)
* Newer Windows Mobile 6.5 build than I8000UZNII1.
* Asphalt 4 is added in (support Accelerometer) cool! but the graphics is not ready nice, version leak in internet is much more beauty.
* Crayon Physics is added in officially.
* Facebook, Search Widget & Youtube is pre-install.
* Two new incoming call, one need to slide when phone is lock, another is touch when phone is not lock. No longer need S2U2 already biggrin.gif
* Better photo quality. biggrin.gif

Cons:

* Program RAM only free around 50MB
* Old Red & Green Main Menu no longer exist.
* PlumSIP (Chinese input) no longer pre-install. (Cannot input chinese, need install 3rd party program now, but is ok for me)

Link: I8000XXIJ1 (The owner request no mirror)

Kindly add me as well.

Anyway, read few places about "skinning" your device. Does it really help to get those finger prints off?
Where is the best place to get one?

Thanks. I've found out last night, you need to put in the \Windows\Menu (or is it \Windows\Start Menu ). The shortcut is made available for selection and
now i can put it into the homescreen to create a new SMS directly.

I've found out another thing. The WIFI does not work if your phone is plugged into the USB port of the PC. Just to share some info.

its doesnt get those finger prints off completely but it gives you more grip on the phone..honestly if you plan to do the skinning, just do it for your back cover..i did the skinning for both front and back but in the end i peel off the front part..looks better without it..

When using WinMO 6.1, when disable the TouchWiz UI, we can display and show the old Microsoft Setting.

After disabling TouchWiz UI, click on "Start" on the top left corner and you got the old WinMo menu, right?

In new Windows Mobile 6.5, The Samsung touchWiz UI by default is disable, but you can't get the actual Settings from Microsoft also. I didn't find got setting Menu inside the new Microsoft Menu UI also. I doubt it has been disable by Samsung. (Maybe la, or it don't have one, I never play others WM 6.5 before. Actually OMNIA II is my 1st device base on Windows Mobile. I still new on it)

I get back all the default Windows Mobile setting (not Samsung one) from SPB Mobile Shell.

To re-enable traditional Settings menu

Open any registry editor, go to path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\
Value 'HideSettings' Set to '0'.. and soft-reset

You can also find it in Windows Mobile 6.1 by disabling touchWiz first to re-enable the classic Start Menu then Programs -> Then Settings (Note the difference in the logo).

exe or cab?

If .exe, connect your device to your PC with ActiveSync, then run the .exe from your PC.

If .cab, copy it into your storage card and run the .cab from there with your device's File Explorer.

exe or cab?

If .exe, connect your device to your PC with ActiveSync, then run the .exe from your PC.

If .cab, copy it into your storage card and run the .cab from there with your device's File Explorer.

erm.. its .CAB..

Im really frustrated with this phone! first of all, this phone lags too much. and secondly, the touch allignment is not accurate no matter how many times i reset the allignment. typing sms without stylus really can piss you off! mad.gif , now the biggest problem with this phone is, when i try to send email, i have to "add recipient". when i tap "add recipient" , it allows me to type the email address or choose from contact list. but whats frustrating is, after i type or choose my recipient, THERE IS NO "SEND" Button. There are " Delete" and 'Cancel" buttons. How the hell am i going to send the email???? mad.gif mad.gif mad.gif

No need to activate, it'll start by itself.

Try restarting your device.

You're talking 'bout Omnia II?

Lag?

What have you installed in it?

Can you post some screen-shots to show your send email problem?

Need more details.

By getting angry and frustrated won't solve your problem.

1st of all, the phone doesn't lag, its the Samsung UI lag, wish new update will resolve it. It doesn't lag at all once you change to other UI application (ex. SPB).
Secondly, have u try on landscape mode while typing? I felt better when typing in landscape mode.
Third, not sure what's happen with yr phone. For me, i don't have any problem read, reply, send and receive mail from gmail, yahoo, exchange ... etc.
Cheers.

The sending email problem was solved after restarting the phone. And yes, after disabling the Samsung UI, the lag reduced so much. really crappy UI by Samsung.
Overall, now im quite satisfied with the phone responsiveness. But i think the screen alignment should be fixed especially the bottom right part where it is hard to click accurately.

Useful Registry Setting for Samsung OMNIA II - Windows Mobile 6.5

* You may use Resco Registry Program to modified the registry value.
* Don't try the registry setting if you don't have any knowledge of registry value.
* Be caution mess up the registry value may need to hard reset for working back properly.

1. Show Default Windows Settings in Menu

* Goto HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\
* Select and modify the HideSettings DWORD Data from 1 to 0

2. Enable Landscape Mode

* Goto HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\
* Select and modify the HideOrientationUI DWORD Data from 1 to 0
* Goto Default Windows Settings - Personal - Buttons and choose the button you decide to assign as Rotate Screen button. (Only work in Windows Default Settings because Samsung Settings has disable the Rotate Screen selection)


3. Enable .png as Icon (the .png file must be 90x90 for WVGA device)

* Goto HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start
* Select the .Ink folder you plan to use custom .png as icon.
* Create New string Value and name it as Icon.
* Place your .png location path in String area. (Example: \Windows\start_fm_radio.png)
* Soft reset for icon change in Windows Menu. (Samsung Main Menu icon will immediate change after registry edit)

4. Exclude unwanted photos appear in Samsung Photo program

* Goto HKLM\Software\TecAce\PhotoAlbum\ExcludeFolders
* Add new string value for each folder you want to exclude, (not working in My Documents folder)
* Give string name as ... 002, 003, 004 ... by following sequence. (If your last appear is 001, then you add in new string as 002 and so on)
* Add in your folder address in string data. (Example, \Storage Card\Screenshots)
* Close the Registry Editor.
* Delete all data in \Application Data\PhotoAlbum.Data (You may use SKTools - Auto Clean! to clean up as well)
* Re-open the Samsung Photo program, all photos thumbnail will be re-generate.

tis is first time i'm using winmo smartphones...last time was using N73 symbian phone..well, for a newbie like me, my GPS can lock on satellite signals less than 5 seconds (outside my house of cz.in car) everytime i run it...first lock on took longer...about 10 seconds.

another issue bout GPS is, location is not tat accurate..variation of 10 to 20 meters is still accepted thou..my exact location and location on map sometimes diff by roughly 30 meters..

other reasons not to get tis phone is...u dun like its fingerprint FRIENDLY shell. its in plastic, so u may feel like its cheap..and when u open battery cover it feels very fragile..like those typical plastic, u know? nx up is the weakness of AMOLED screen which u cant do nothing bout it..under strong lights (sunlights, spotlights, etc...) u can view nothing! but adjusting brightness to the max and disable the automatic brightness adjustment will do the trick. wont solve it but at least better..

How to make your OMNIA II run smoothly

* Goto Sound Setting - Touch Alert, and set Alert to None (this speed up a lot when no vibrate or sound enable)
* Goto General Settings - Power - Performance and select CPU Performance as High
* Goto Display and Light - Items on Today and deselect Samsung WidgetPlus.

I choose I8000XEEIJ1 for CSC, so far no issue for this CSC selection. No lock network issue and everything run fine.

The regional can be set once the phone boot-up.

Wait for the Pixon if you are really concern on the camera quality & features. Not to say the Omnia II camera is bad but this model is really not so much on camera aspect.

Hi littlediana,

What is your main concern for a device?

Most of these highend devices had almost everything you need (and don't) build into it.

Even though the OS are different, but functions/aplications are almost equivelent.
Same like PCs, some ppl like M$ Windows, some Linus, Mac or others.
Even with newer OS like Windows 7 or Vista, some still prefer XP (one of them is me laugh.gif ).
What I'm trying to said is, it's a personal choice.

Consider what you need to use and what you don't.
Don't waste your money on a device which is in the fashion now, but have difficulty for your daily use.

This is a Windows Mobile thread, most of us here like WinMo for it's customization ability. In another word, MOST of us get this device just to play with it, not actual using it laugh.gif

Since you already had some device in your consideration, go to the shop and check them out.
Most service centers have display sets for you to play with.
Spend some times trying our their functions, camera (picture/video quality) and speed.
Abuse them. They're there for you to torture, so you can find out the stablebility of each individure devices.

Regarding Bro jianjie's comment...ya, it's a little bit unpresent, but I believe he/she had a good intention.
He/she just wants you to get a device which you'll like it and not other ppl's prefered gadget.

What you can get here are infomations.
There are already alot of reviews from personal experience here.
It'll be wise to read and see whether this device benifits you.

Good luck for your hunting icon_rolleyes.gif

With your File Explorer, go to /Windows and see is there a tmail.exe.

Tap on it.

Use NoData from Modaco
http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-so...utility-nodata/

It works with both WM 6.1 and 6.5.
Tested it myself.
Install, run and disable all except MMS by selecting each one and tap 'toggle'.

One quirk though, on WM 6.5, after every soft reboot the Celcom 3G Internet (I am using Celcom, diff telco has different words....duh) enables itself again which means you need to disable it again.

Try using Resco Registry (addon to Resco File Explorer) and edit registry directly on your phone. I found out that editing it remotely via your PC can give some weird errors.

Because of your language, the way you type seems a bit rude.

Example: "I just wan to ask about the phone only ok.. - this sound you unhappy.

p/s yaya ...watever you wanna think or say..its your mouth and mind .. - this is rude.

I notice you love to use watever - people will feel you are rude and not accepting.
