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 ........

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... 

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...

do i nid internet access to go Google Map ?

because i heard my friend said.. GPS dont nid internet to use it..

i dont really understand how it works..

what do u mean by garmin mobile ?

is GPS has its own file after i got the map from google ?

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..

mind telling me where to set it?

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

I've called. They dunno when the 6.5 will be available. Said MS hasn't informed them.

Thinking of selling my omnia II 8GB with screen protector & Brightstar (FMG equivalent) warranty until October 2010. Throw in an ori Capdase book style case worth RM 120.

Any takers?

How to get the GPS to work without internet?

hi guys ~ i have a few problems... i can watch youtube for the past few days but suddenly yesterday it wont play again... it pops up server or data timeout again. i didnt change anything whatsoever. it happens when i was halfway watching it. what should i do? kinomafreeplay somehow wont play any youtube video for me....

and can o2 take picture using the 2nd camera (the camera at front)? its hard to turn your hand and take picture by using the back camera only..

thanks in advance~

hi all,

can omnia 2 access some online share trading website like hdbs/rhb that run on java platform?

Alright thanks. One more thing I need to ask.

I'm currently using the SPB Shell 3.5.

The sound for the alarm clock for this interface is not continuous. As in, it only ring once and stop after that.

I've tried all settings but it still doesnt work. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Works like a charm      Thanks

When I install SPB Diary, I can't seem to find the shortcut to it.

I'm using SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.
