Hey guys!! I tried copying a full 700MB .avi file through MS ActiveSync to /MY Storage. But it didn't allow me to copy. Even a smaller file say like 170MB failed to be copied. Another thing is I can't play an . avi video file using TCPMP. Anyone care to enlighten me? Thank you.

try use USB Mode instead of ActiveSync..
maybe it should help..

Hey Guys,

Just for your information for those who doesn't know, Summit USJ service center is operated by FMG, well everybody should know FMG is authorize distributor for Samsung phones, and Summit USJ is the service center HQ for FMG.

There is another service center at Federal Highway called Samsung Plaza (same row with Avon), it's operated by Samsung itself. It's service center HQ for Samsung. I bought my TV output cable from there, the price is RM54.55. Actually it's not accessories for SGH-I900, the cable is accessories for SGH-F510 (stated in my purchase receipt) but there are having the same connector, so it can be used.

But the technician from Samsung Plaza not having very good knowledge on Omnia and they even don't know what's DXHJ1 stand for and therefore they claimed H3 is the newer firmware than J1.  shakehead.gif  this is maybe not many people send their mobile phone to Samsung Plaza due to the fact that not many of us know they actually provide service to mobile phones as well, at least I also don't know before this.
*
IC..so i can buy tv-out cable from Samsung Federal Highway as well..
thanks..don't need to apply half day leave just to buy tv-out & data cable
bcos Summit USJ only operate during working hours 9-7pm..cannot make it during that time le..

try check ur phone settings:

1st) go to Settings > Connections > Operator Settings ;
make sure ur operator is Maxis 3G / Celcom 3G not Maxis / Celcom

2nd) go to Settings > Personal > Phone > More > Band Selection ;
ur Frequency Band should be Automatic / WCDMA

yesterday i just spent my MC day to do experiment on my Omnia..
3 times flashed..1st tried M2D04..
then flashed to DXHKI-ECH01
got free storage around 100++ mb..great..
but after i install Manila2D manually, total free storage almost same like M2D04..
that one still is not including Opera..
so, lastly end up with M2D04..
kinda like Manila2D apps..a lot of themes available there specifically design for Omnia..
now i dont using SPB Mobile Shell for a while..

but..
i just realized WindowsMobileDeviceCentre in my Vista couldn't work anymore..
need to use my wife laptop (XP) to sync back my contacts..

anyone got this issue?

Guys, i'm using Maxis, so, what to set under Operator Setting, Maxis or Maxis3G ???
Thanx...
*
if u alwaz surfing net using 3G and make video call then
select Maxis3G..
else
just using Maxis will be enough..

by using 3G, ur device will keep searching 3G coverage wherever u go..
so it will cause u huge battery drainage..correct me if i'm wrong..smile.gif

Ha ha , that means I asked in the wrong thread?

Not really, cause i want to see how Omnia owners defend it. Choosing a new phone is such a headache sometimes.

BTW, where are these other retailers that has a 24 month installment plan? Can give specific examples besides telling me to look for ones with the installment plan stickers? Say like Carrefour?

Anyway any other input? the 16gb hard disk and nice form factors are really pulling factors. The only thing is the price....

i myself actually really like iphone..
especially the way they set standard for user interface..i can see everything is well integrated..
bigger screen, capacitive screen, a lot of games also another good points..

but a few things hold me back to buy iphone at least for 1-2 years until they came with another better phone
1) at the moment they dont have real GPS.. I mean turn by turn navigation..
the only thing that u can use is Google Maps which will cost u data connection & don't support turn by turn feature
2) the camera is quite outdated, 2mp only..at least they should provide 3.2mp
3) although the interface is nice but sometime i need to have different theme for my device..
this is where windows mobile have a lot of apps where u can customize / tweaks according to ur need.
4) Iphone price in Malaysia is still expensive, RM3k+ unless u got opportunity to buy it from oversea or order it from ur friends
5) no office document editor especially excel which i normally use
6) no copy & Paste..simple feature that they still don't want to provide..

i still can accept if iphone cannot do MMS, video recording, battery not replaceable but not the above one..so I just wait until they fulfill my wish then only i go to iphone..smile.gif

but again it still depends on ur need actually,

one question regarding the battery.  from one of thread some user manage to get 4-5 days battery life when very much heavy usage on a particular firmware. Are we still getting that, long battery life?

and when i charging the phone, in the battery page it will show "charging" even it reached 100%. do i continue wait ? or i could just trust the progress bar.
*
when u charging, the power button will become red..
wait until it change to green light, then ur battery is fully charge..

the maximum days that i can get is 3-4 days with minimal usage..
(texting, few calls, wifi)

for me, i will consider heavy usage is like using GPS, camera, listen MP3 for a few hours, gaming, watching movie..

hi i have a noob question, how can i highlight more than one files at a time just like holding down the control button and click more files using the keyboard and mouse
*
in File Exporer,
hold the file an drag until the next file that u want
but let say if u have A, B, C files in order.
u can only select either (A, B, C) or (A & B)
there is no way to select A & C

unless u use other 3rd party software like RescoExplorer

media album also support select multiple item
but only applicable for media file type (image, video, mp3)

i tried following the Quick GPS fix without XTRA enabled, How to get quicker GPS fix, without enabling Enhanced GPS.
which includes the steps below

If you turn off XTRA, you'll notice that it may require even more than 15-30 minutes to get a fix. Turning on XTRA will shorten this to almost instant fixes...

Many people prefer to disable Enhanced GPS Settings, XTRA data download. This is because 3G/GPRS data connections can cost a lot, especially if you are abroad and roaming.

It seems like Samsung has left some settings turned on in the registy, for debugging purposes, and this makes really slow to get a fix without XTRA data. According to Microsoft's documentation (see GPS Intermediate Driver General Registry Settings) some features like logging can be enabled for debugging, in GPS Intermediate Driver's registry settings, which stays between the hardware and your navigation software.

My experience shows that the following steps seem to improve the time to get a GPS fix, without need to download XTRA data:
1. Go to Settings > System > Enhanced GPS and set both settings to "Disable"
2. Go to your device's registry, and see the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver
3. Change the following string values to nothing (don't delete them, just edit them and clear the value):
CurrentLogFile (originally \GPSID_log.txt)
OldLogFile (originally \GPSID_log.bak)
4. Soft-reset your device
5. With File Explorer, go to My Device, and delete the two GPSID_log files you see, and the file named xtra. If you don't soft-reset, you will not be able to delete some of them.
6. Check again the registry setting. Sometimes in rare cases it may revert the settings back - but that's a general WM problem.

After this, if you start your navigation software under clear sky, you can get a fix in a coulpe of minutes, without the use of XTRA, or any other data source, than pure native GPS satellites.

To digg in the registry there are many free and shareware tools available, I can recommend Total Commander CE, which has a registry plugin.

Also noticed (but this may be really subjective) that flipping the device with the back upwards, while waiting for GPS fix, improves reception a bit - it seems like the internal receiver antenna is oriented to the back of the device... but if anyohe has dissassembled the Omnia can confirm or infirm this.

but i was not able to find the GPSID log files and xtra in step 5 anyon e know why?
*
what firmware are u using?
since i upgraded to the new one (HK2), my gps locked quite fast within 1-2 minutes..no need to do this tweak..

If official ROM, you don't need to worry about bricking because its in executable file. Just follow the instructions on http://www.samsungmobile.com and you'll be fine. wink.gif

not all custom ROM need to use grand prix..
i tried LuFeIG, QBUS & Taril's ROM. It's all in exe file..
So u just follow normal procedure to upgrade..
but still will void ur warranty..hehe..
