aiya....yours is singapore set is it? no wonder lar got extra sticker on your box.

the x key is similar to the minimize button on your windows desktop.....it does not close the program. just minimizes it to the background. always use the respective program's Menu ===> Exit to permanently shut it off. If the program doesnt have an exit menu item, then u have to call up the task manager and end the tasks.

i noticed that with installation of SPB shell, the battery life is reduced to about 2/3 of its original capacity. While i could go 3-4 days without a charge before i installed spb shell, now its 2-3 days. Didnt notice it at first but now its quite obvious. mine is still g3.

And also noted that my fone charges faster with spb shell installed. takes about 3 hours to full charge as opposed to 5 hours before. Hmm.....something is really wierd here. Perhaps the batt meter in spb shell?

yeah....mine is red awhile.....even though the batt says 100%......just give it about half and hour more and it will change to green. Guess its charging the last bits to reach full charge.

Yeah.....im using spb shell with today 2 plug in as well......kinda cool......both the now screen and the today screen. by customizing the today screen you could actually access just about every program or setting on the omnia. Some via the today 2 plug in and some via shortcuts spb shell includes at the top.

was wondering, is there any way to place the spb shell bar at the bottom of the page instead of at the top? tried the move up/down, but its disabled for spb shell and today 2

isnt that a hardware reset? i thought the soft reset was the one on the spb shell.....

sorry....little confused on this bit

ahh.....ok...thanks for the clarification.....

go out in the open....i mean really open.....get clear skies....and try.....the first time, it would take some time to get a fix. it would be easier after that usually.

what is the gesture feature? did not come across it when i was fiddling around with SPB mobile....

yeah.....found it...thanks ya....

what does the smart gestures do anyway?

yeah.....hope so too....and looking at things the way that they are, it seems that we can expect more to come......

even if u say it has a low screen resolution.....almost everyone.....wait let me rephrase......EVERYONE who saw a movie on my phone said the image detail and clarity was simply superb..

thats probably the best test that there is around. nevermind whats written on paper.....if it works superbly....then it is superb.

the qvga has an additional benefit of prolonging battery life. So all in all, a good compromise i would say

careful.....that software is /it/ could be an italian software.....

think the answers to your questions are in this thread somewhere....except for the first....perhaps u could use the search function at the bottom?

use a download manager and then go to sleep....will be done in the morning

dude....that article is dated aug 19......thats a month back.....in fact i got my phone even before that...

and to the wise guy who asked whether any of us actually owned the phone......just go to pg 1 pls.....there's a LOOONNNGGG list

Added on September 18, 2008, 8:02 pmi used to get this pretty often before.....but i honestly cant remember the last time i got this message.....anyone encounter the same thing? didnt upgrade firmware or anything.....it just somehow fixed itself....now i can open as many programs as i want and still operate the camera without that message

having the same problem as u dude.....based on what i have read.....to update with Vista u need to use a prgram called virtual machine which creates a another boot device on your comp with windows XP so u can update......looked too complicated for me to try out and whats more, it will probably cause errors on your firmware upgrade as well..

Better wait for the official one on the samsung website......or find an XP machine

Added on September 20, 2008, 6:53 pmtry using your active sync or install programs like SPB backup

Added on September 20, 2008, 6:59 pmmine was like that as well.....holding the end call button does not unlock the phone with SPB shell..

try this.....try switching off the use now screen during standby and then click ok

Then u can switch it on again and it should work fine after that. Just that the holding end call to unlock the phone cannot be used.....that seems to be permanent. But u can still use the touchsceen to unlock

i know....read carefully....

after u restart the fone.....go to settings -----> spb mobile shell..... from the spb menu

uncheck show the now screen when my device wakes up

then click ok

problem should be solved, except now the stanby screen is your samsung theme.

Now, u can redo the same steps to reactivate the now screen as your standby and you should no longer have that problem.

I had exactly the same problem, had to restart the fone everytime....not anymore...and im using the now screen as my standby screen

Added on September 21, 2008, 8:02 pmi suggest u dont backup your system files, or your new firmware might get reverted back to the old one....the backup is stored in a self executable exe file.....just select it and it will start restoring your files..

It would backup your software as well.....but i would recommend reinstalling the software after a firmware upgrade. Just so all the bugs get fixed.

Just backup your contacts and appointments by using the custom backup under spb backup

is it switched on in the first place.....

go to start -----> setttings

Go to the system tab

click on motion sensor

set it to automatic

not sure how to automatically disable it....but you could see when its connected when there is an E in place of the antenna on the signal reception. If the E is there then it is connected.

Not to be confused with the E that is beside the signal icon. This is within the signal icon itself on the top of your screen.
