loudness....fan

Hi, I've been an Omnia user for quite some time and just tried to upgrade to the newest firmware yesterday and I did something really bad.. I did backup my files but what I didnt backup is my contacts and smses, I'm totally freak out now.. Anybody can help me on this, those contacts are really important.. Let me know even if there's a very slight hope of recovering it please.. Thanks in advance..

Can't you read?

Did you backup with the provided MIT before?
Did you ever synchronized with Outlook or Outlook Express before?
Did you ever copy any files/contents from your device's root directory before?

Thanks for the reply Omnian.. Firstly, files I backup are only those pictures and songs.. Secondly, I didnt do backup with the provided MIT before.. For the third qns, I seriously think that I cant retrieve my contacts back sigh, I didnt sync my phone with Outlook or Express before.. Lastly, what I've done to my phone is only transfer pics and songs over, so I think this did ans your 4th qns..

Then, I think there's no way of retrieving back your contacts.

What I was looking for is your "pim.vol", which reside in the root of your device. If you have that, we can get back all of your contacts.

Other methods are either you copy back your contacts from your sim card (if you have them there) or if you have the contacts in another phone.

My advice is to backup your "pim.vol" to your PC, SD Card or somewhere else, once in a while.
It can be found in your device's root directory.

those who are using garmin, mayb u guys can solve my misery:

whenever i toggled into garmin mode, i lost my battery status on the top utility bar, meaning i do not now how much does my batt left, this is ridiculously dumb cos i might risking to lost the gps guidance when the batt runs flat.

what should i do to view my batt? some hacking utilities or other skin/theme will do? upgarde firmware?
or flashing WM6.5rom ftw?

-edited-

ok i noticed this happened not only when i called up garmin...
i only get the batt to show up in "home" screen, whenever i i go into menu, or any application, the batt will be missing.
also i cant see the batt status bar when i was charging, it only shows a charging sign, so i do not know if the charging is complete or not.

bravo omnia! *thumbs down* for ya

whats the difference with the samsung omnia models with 8gb or 16gb on the top left of the phone and the ones without?

i guess this is ur first winmobile phone. fyi this is a trait for ALL winmo phones. go get a free program named batti. it will show the batt status no matter which menu u are in. hope that helps. and buy a car charger so u can keep the phone charged while using gps.

u'll know charging is complete when your on/off button on top of your phone is showing green light..
i'm very sure u're a Winmo 1st timer..haha

thx! both of your feedback helps.

yea im new to WM, i was a palm & symbian UIQ user before this.
i still remembered that my 1st pda-phone device was an A6188 & 1st palm was plamIIIxe, both took me some while to get used to, but WM6 is miles away behind from them if talk about ergonomics

hello
i activate edi my gprs n 3g
why cant i make video call?
can anyone help me

Dunno whether this is the right place...
But...
Whats the difference between OmniaHD, OmniaII????

2nd q the one u want to call.. can they receive video call / are they allowed to?

isit just me or every1 get the same problem where the back of omnia gets really hot when i run gps for >15mins? its so hot that my palm hurts when holding it =.="

it's normal that it will get hot..
omnia so thin,of coz u'll feel the heat...same goes to other htc products with gps function..
if u use older pda like htc p3600, u won't feel the heat since it's so thick!haha

oo, then im relieved. i was just about to send this faulty unit back to factory. huhu
