hello, I plan to get this phone. i've been reading from page 1 to page 81 - well, skim thru the pages smile.gif

I know some ppl complain the phone is not good b'cos they do not understand the phone. agree.

hardware wise - any issue? - esp the touch-screen?

as for HK3 ROM:

(1) vibrate is back on?
(2) still ring softly for the first 2-3 seconds?
(2) if I did a ROM upgrade, can I do a hard reset by going thru the menu? I think it's under settings? Rather by pressing this and that? Which no body has the right combination to do hard reset.

thks.

so far no problem wif me using touch screen phone..it is very good & interesting phone (for only who know how to use it).. biggrin.gif
for ur question:

(1) yup vibrate still available..unless u turn off vibrate..
(2) yes still ring softly 2-3 second..then ring loud suddenly..i think samsung is like dat la..
(3) u can do 2 types hard reset..1 in setting and u need to key in 1234 for default code to hard reset..2 u press code in standby phone..i forgot the code combination hehe..

theres a lot fantastic custom rom dat u can choose to flash it..
very worth to buy it thumbup.gif
*
rclxms.gif thks for the prompt reply. err...will not touch custom ROM - too chicken to do so

the best price I found so far is RM2350 for 8GB with std packaging

however, know another phone dealer that can go for RM21XX smile.gif

thks again.

nod.gif i am touched - hope i can a thing or 2 from the sifu here

as for pixon, yes, love the 8MP. but it lacks customization and battery life sucks shakehead.gif

hmm - will wait at the end of this month Feb to see to get Omnia. I am just concern over the hardware as I know the ppl at service center got those tidak apa attitude even if my phone has 12 mths warraty vmad.gif

one question - i tested the loudspeaker at a shop. not so loud ler, worry will miss lots of call. i know there is a way to tweak the loudspeaker - but now now sweat.gif

maybe if i d/load my own MP3, it will be louder.

i actually own nokia 5800 but sold it after 2 weeks usage - no drag and drop style and camera was very bad as it's like 1.3 MP sad.gif BUT the music was great! after 2 weeks - got a bit bored rolleyes.gif

thks again rclxms.gif


Added on February 11, 2009, 8:19 amoh ya! is it ok to ask for cracked software here blush.gif

thinking of installing SPB shell - (what version?)

if ok - where to get it from?

thks

how long does a touch screen last? 2 yrs? 5 yrs?

my dad is still using Nokia 8850 (?not sure) - the butterfly version with the first blue back light and it's still running.

not sure omnia can last that long - hmm.gif

fyi,SG set got 3 models:
black back cover with silver chrome,black bac cover with black chrome n white with silver chrome.
so for those who has silver chrome,it will turn black.
however,according to seller,after u remove the IS,it will still be in silver,so no worries..
@j1h4dj4ck
no nid to go setting to silent ur phone.
press your volume up/down on the right side of ur omnia,then the volume bar will come out,then select silent.this can be done even if your omnia is in locked mode.fastest way that i know so far!
@FerrariST
navfone interface is a bit lame,not nice.
navfone good in city..but ulu area..dun xpect much.
GMXT however is better.way better.
GMXT try go for malsing map,malfree map is not that detailed yet.

IS = Invisible Shield.it's basically a coat of protector for the whole device including front, back, side as well as camera lens,(only excludes the pop-up button at side).

why it turns black,i'm not sure.oxidation i suppose.

Omnia set from M'sia is all with silver chrome.

after removing the IS,the chrome under will still be in original form,sparkling silver.no worries.
*
a bit "mah fun" to place this IS as if got problem, technician need to remove IS before opening the set, right?

heard IS very hard to put and expensive.

Maybe a silicone cover to cover omnia - is there such thing as that? if yes, where to get? will chrome will still turn black as it's still expose to air?

pls advise.

spending RM2k++ and got these problems cry.gif

BTW, best price OMNIA 8G in PJ where to get?

walao...IS cover exterior only la..
u wanna send repair wont affect the IS la..
alomak...takkan cover battery...wats the point of cover battery?haha
u wanna get silicone then go ahead...but it gives ur omnia a cheap look.
u spent rm2k+ n u want it look like <1k?
if u duwan IS n duwan leather case,go for leather pouch..classic n elegant.
wont scratch if u r kful.the most vulnerable part is the chrome part.other than tat,easy to manage.
*
i thot the IS is cover the entire phone (of course not the battery) OR IS for the top casing and another IS for the bottom casing?

anyway, will just get a silicone and screen protector.

or maybe leather pouch and screen protector.

btw, i am not an omnian yet tongue.gif

try look at SG set..i think now u can get below 2k..but warranty only applicable in SG..
i guess many Omnian here bought Omnia from SG set and so far no problem rite? smile.gif


Added on February 12, 2009, 9:22 am

q1.Our set has 3 today screen, Samsung Widget, Samsung Today 1 & 2.
    It should be standard like other country set..the only different is packaging accessories..

q2. yup, copy the cab installer into any folder..run & install..that's it..no need to choose spb shell as today screen because it will run automatically..
in today screen, the right softkey will be change to SPB Menu..
so, u still can use Samsung Today screen together with SPB Mobile Shell..
*
i think can get RM1800 for SG set. would get the all black so that no chrome issue laugh.gif

warranty problem lar, pay another maybe RM400 to get FMG set sad.gif

wait for price drop then another cool device pops up - it never ends and it's a dilemma hmm.gif

check this out - similar problem to your case:

http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7025

it will take less than 2 hrs to fix your phone if the technician is good and NOT lazy.

however, in the above forum, the technician did not reveal why it happen but he fixed it! hmm.gif

the bubble under ur IS will only slowly evaporate off after a few weeks.
this only applies to small bubbles..big bubbles u need to pray.
for IS silver chrome turn black...i'll try to take photo...but the chrome shine make it difficult to capture using camera..
SDHC?omnia is using microsd la...
@dahool00
if got windows mobile7,sure we will be able to upgrade,no worries.
by that time,samsung will release new rom upgrade.
so many omnia kaki around the globe,dun worry.
@erinonlyone
better u do a hard reset urself.dun have to send back to service center for 2weeks,they'll just perfom the same task also...y wait for 2weeks?
simply poke ur soft reset button,then when the samsung word come out,press both answer n reject pad together.that will bring u to the hard reset screen.try a few times if 1st time not successful.goodluck!

the chrome turn black - that ugly ka?

as for the hard reset - many ppl tried but no success sad.gif

oh no...never ever unplug usb cable during update..how long u already wait now?
u already disable ur antivirus @ firewall @ close other running programs in ur windows?

1. when u say disable all app and anti virus, do you mean on desktop or the omnia?

2. why firewall and internet connection are mentioned when ROM update is done offline? active sycn is in PC, new ROM is in PC, so why still go online? blink.gif

3. the other thing is screen saver on both PC and omnia must be off and there is be no power saving mode - always ON - i think lar hmm.gif
