QUOTE(lhongwuh @ Sep 30 2009, 03:14 PM) QUOTE(yfyap69 @ Sep 30 2009, 03:09 PM) Is it normal to see the message "New SIM card detected" everytime you on the phone? yup..its normal.. No, it's not. 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.

SPB Mobile Shell It's an User Interface Added on September 30, 2009, 9:02 pm QUOTE(bluhound @ Sep 30 2009, 07:51 PM) Strange, mine a few other friends all have the same pop-up every time we soft reset our phones. As for me, the pop-up asks on what should the data transfer be on 2G or 3G. The firmwares which I know happens like mentioned above are on G1, G6, G7(mine) and H3. 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? This post has been edited by Omnian: Sep 30 2009, 09:04 PM

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! QUOTE(bluhound @ Sep 30 2009, 11:28 PM) Of course it currently won't work with mskip's widgets. Version 3.5 was only released two days ago..... Give them time.... 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

QUOTE(bluhound @ Oct 1 2009, 09:42 AM) 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. With THIS, you won't miss the MMS. Added on October 2, 2009, 2:15 pm QUOTE(bluhound @ Oct 1 2009, 08:52 AM) If you have read the previous posts, it explains clearly why Omnia and Omnia II are not supported. Anyway, I'll explain it again. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 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. I knew that. Anyway, IMO, it's an upgrade, new tech should be applied with backward compatibility. This post has been edited by Omnian: Oct 2 2009, 02:15 PM

QUOTE(Mooshi @ Oct 7 2009, 09:01 AM) I have some problems connecting to the WIFI...what gives? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 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. 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.

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. This post has been edited by Omnian: Oct 7 2009, 11:22 AM

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.
