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

....Is it worth the upgrade because by upgrading I will loose all my data.

actually you can tick the checkbox that says 'Preserve Device's Contents' to avoid losing data.....

has anyone tried the GPS function?? using Map King or Garmin... enlighten pls wink.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...

When you launch Garmin, at the top left hand corner, how many bar of GPS signal can you get?

Mine is always showing 1 or 2 bar only... always showing weak signal even though i have download the file via XTRA server....
*
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...

talking bout s2u2, i tried once and need to unlock from the ori lock screen, then only unlock again with s2u2, which i feel kinda pointless

or izit some settings tat can allow s2u2 to totally replace the ori lock screen?
*
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'

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.

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

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...

Maybe someone should call Samsung support and see if it's availble for firmware updates for Winmob 6.5 at the SC? smile.gif

I've called. They dunno when the 6.5 will be available. Said MS hasn't informed them. doh.gif
*
it's available.. maybe they wanna perform a lil customization here and there for Msia sets .. to those who can't wait.. perhaps you can take the plunge to do it on your own..
