Hello y'all, my first posting in this forum. I'm an omnian as well since about a month. 8Gb + 4Gb in H3. have several issues to ironed out. especially the poor ROM and Ram available in my phone currently as well as looking for new and better ROM update. battery lasts for a day and a half for normal use.

Should have some more to ask but am leaving home now. Have read the locked thread omnia but just can't get all through (126 pages woo..I managed up to 50 pges only already tired) as such I'll get back to all of you soon tomorrow.

just a brief one. i bought the piece along with my precious omnie at digital mall PJ. not sure whether i really bought it, since after a hard negotiate, I think i managed to buy it at just RM 1 ..seriously..the salesman put the capdase at 80 so in total it's 2780..but then i push him till he give me 2.7k only.. ..not the cheapest but at least I got 2 pouch now


Again..hello everyone!!

Ok..since a lot has flashed their ROM, 2 main q's to those who have done it:

1. any improvement on the battery life?
2. more storage memory?

my storage memory now left at 1.31 Mb and 50.89 Mb for the program memory..my understanding the first one refers to ROM memory while the latter for RAM isn't?

other than installing SKTools or MemMaid, will the K1 release more space for this? I'm fed up to clear up the cache after surfing since it lowered my storage memory a lot.

hence, a lot of notifications saying memory low.

these 2 are my main concern now..battery drainage and very low memory..I guess if anyone realise, the samsung omnia's phamplet stating that omnia supposed to come up with 512Mb and 256 Ram!

though i know they say spec can be changed without notice don't u think that's a deep misleading? some might say great marketing but I say, don't bluff ur customer..

another thing, how exactly you guys check the name of the latest FW available at the samsung website..I tried but can't find any?

and what's the official one from samsung website? H3 or K1? as i prefer to have it done officially at samsung's.

Thanks.

Edited: Oh i know some of you may say refer to the first page for the new update of ROM but can someone please point me where to check the version at the website?


Another thing..may i point out that the picture for this omnia thread is actually F480 and not omnia?

one more thing..has anyone tried microsoft voice command on omnia?

Thanks..mine currently XHH3/ZHH3 but it seems that every single latest ROM comes up with bugs. So exactly how the latest K1 fares?will it resolved the ill battery life?

I believe with H3, the battery life is quite erratic..one day you'll get a marvellous performance with almost 2 days gone to deplete..not to mention it requires almost 12 hours for the battery bar to reduce to 90%

and then another day, you stop charging at midnight to the fullest..next morning you know the has already phone auto switched off..so weird

I must add that different users use differrently in terms of type of application and frequency though..not to mention types of FW used and modification like spb..

plus, i realize to those who use mapking which must come with port splitter, as someone said they should close the apps when not in used. which I had suspected as the battery scoop as well..but please be alert, to close the apps..you HAVE to click STOP then click OK at the top..only then it will really STOP..if any of you click STOP then exit, it will turn on again later on..unless you uncheck the autostart..but that means you have to manually enter the port name for the gps later.

just sharing

p/s: karl, you should rename the FW of the links to the samsung site since it's no longer J1 but only H3

I'm not sure whether this has been discussed or not..read the previous thread half thru..can't make it to the last..too long..pheww..

but can someone actually make the geotag really functioning? I have read some post in other forum, they have the same problem as well..anyone knows whether the new ROM solve this prob?

That's good to hear. I'm still using the dinosaur ROM..will update soon. Thanks

Added on January 6, 2009, 12:12 pmDone that. I'm still on H3..guess that's the main reason

Well yeah i'll check on whether the update will solve the mess. been using mapking since day one. works marvellously

anyway, the geotag has nothing to do with the type of navigation software that we use right?

how exactly you switch on the gps when using the camera? mine, the gps icon on the camera is there. but does not turns to green

same here..push email works..but apparently will show those messages that you have in inbox..but messages that you move to any customize folder will not show up..I have yet to find a solution to this..i guess maybe need to fine tune the setting..

ehem..can i have it as well?

been using mapking previously..now have installed gmxt..don't know which port is the best..tolong plez

anyone knows whether apps in java can be back up? I have yet to update fw and willing to..but afraid lose all precious data. others I have use the PIM Backup

Thanx..seems that I have to install another aps for the back-up..anyway, I have downloaded gmxt 4.20.50 yesterday..keeps on hanging ..anyone has a solution..previously used mapking works extra fine..

Hi there. Have installed Garmin but it also keeps on hanging. can open but after few seconds will hang. ..

can someone confirm whether both garmin and mapking can sit side by side harmoniously in omnia? bcos i haven't uninstall mapking..and not willing to bcos it works great with mapking..could this be the problem? two nav apps in a device. I heard someone does have both in omnia and got no prob..or is it the port splitter?

another apps that i installed is microsoft voice command..could this be the culprit? because i dont see anyone using this apps

Ohh..headache!!

With Garmin installed i still have 25MB left..which supposed to be sufficient..previously i installed the 4.20.20 also hang..

I'm on H3 and maybe later go for K3..FW got anything to do with this?

I can assure you that's my routine every time after running any application..now i suspect something amiss during the installation..but i have followed every step as in the link given by kyleng

don't think it's the port thingy..If the garmin doesn't work then probably I have to fine tune the setting..problem is, the garmin itself hang after several seconds opening it..I have to mention that I did not click the map or any setting on the garmin..simply open the garmin and leave it at the main screen it will then hang..

weird..

Added on January 15, 2009, 12:43 pmDon't know..could be..but I think I have diligently follow all the steps..but once I put the..ahem .unl file into the garmin storage card folder, the hang starts

I think not..unless you browse..the charge comes in when you ARE receiving the bytes

Mine works fine transferring file with nokia. but failed when with a laptop. i guess the setting must play some part.

Added on February 3, 2009, 11:15 amHi, I realized that mine can't open GPS using Gmaps.it will crash after few seconds.the same thing happens when I try using Garmin.but with mapking it's works fine. what kind of problem I'm having here?

This post has been edited by mmmbop: Feb 3 2009, 11:15 AM

No la.. it means that you still have to connect to internet to download and save the application into your PC.later on you runs it as usual la from PC like any other apps..that's where you don't have to connect..

BTW thanks to all that reply..I'm fed up and already at the samsung centre right now..let them do the job
