I recently bought Omnia i910 phone and overall really enjoying my purchase.One thing that bothers me is when you make a phone call the keypad is almost instantly locked - you have to press the button to unlock.
Is there some way to delay this auto lock feature by say 5 seconds?
I'm with Telus atm. pay-to-talk since my contract expired and I'm shopping for a new phone.
Telus has the Omnia for 3 yr. $0 for the phone
Bell has the OmniaII for 3 yr. $99 for the phone
I'm going to opt out of a data plan (wifi should be fine for my usage) and get the equivalent of fav5 (or the bell equal) since I really only talk to my wife and a couple other numbers.
Question is - is the OmniaII enough better than the Omnia i910 to justify starting with Bell and the $99? Second part - should I get an unlocked version from the states and bring it to Bell/Telus (I think from what I read that would allow things like the GPS to work here in Canada)
Hello everyone. I have finally made my decision on the new phone i'll be getting. It was between the Sony Satio, N97 and the Omnia HD. I've decided the Omnia HD due to the reviews and the lack of problems with the phone compared to the other two. I have now one final question. On plemix, I see that there are two choices, Silver and Black. I have seen countless of pictures of the black one. However, I have yet to see the silver one. Does anyone have the silver one? If so, can you please post the picture.

But I search throught all the apps inside the phone and it doesn't have anything related to GPS except within settings. Can any expert tell me what I need to do in order to use this phone like a GPS device? I am located in Canada (Toronto).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've recently purchased a Samsung Omnia SGH-i900. I'm happy with the phone except that it dies within about 20 seconds of showing the first (and only) low battery warning. With other phones I've owned,I usually have at least half an hour of battery life from when the first low battery warning is displayed. Do any other Omnia owners have the same problem? I'm wondering if this a problem with the phone or the battery?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have read some relatively old threads regarding a project to port/install the Andrioid OS on a Omnia 900 and 910. Is this a reality yet? I would much rather have the droid os on this phone than windows mobile. I hate this phone.. I switched back to my original Moto Q because i cant stand the onscreen keyboard and the touch screen assumes you have tiny fingers. I have tried different keyboard apps and even carried that retarded stylus (the one that looks like mascara.) with me and it was just a terrible design. But the phone does truly have everything.. and i think it would rock with Droid on it..
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a customer who came in the other day with a problem. He purchased a Samsung Omnia II from Bell and had them unlock the phone for him so he can use it in the Dominican while he's down there for 2-3 months at a time. Problem is this, he hasn't been able to successfully get the phone to connect with his computer. Bell tech support have gone over several possible solutions to no avail. He has tried connecting to both a Windows based PC as well as a Mac and still no connection, although the Mac apparently will get further in connecting before failing.
I'm wondering if the phone being unlocked might be causing the issues, but Bell themselves unlocked it. The customer is coming back in this weekend and I would like to have some kinda answer or at least hope of an answer for him.
I have a scratch on my Omnia 2 and was wondering if there's a product that i can use since it seem that the Displex LCD Scratch Remover isn't for touch screen phone so if anyone here have had any experiences with others product let me know.

I know there is an update for the Verizon Omnia, but for some reason it won't work on the Telus Omnia. I have used Google Maps and TomTom 6 but it can never lock onto the satellites. What com ports do I have to select or change to get a lock on?

When getting an incoming call only the picture shows up, but no name or number at all. The funny thing is if i ignore, then all the info shows up in my missed calls list. Is this a bug in the spb software or is there a windows setting i missed? P.S. I've already tried the registry fix for call id match, ive used the key value 7, 10, and 11 hoping it would recognize, but it doesnt.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have read stuff where people are doing this right now, and other posts saying it is impossible. I want the truth! I am ready to switch to Cricket anyways because I'm tired of paying $90 month for verizon when I can get the same stuff from Cricket for half, but I'm dreading both buying a Cricket phone and losing my Omnia (i900). I asked at the retail store if I got it unlocked could I use it since both are CDMA carriers and the guy didn't seem too informed. Also, another store rep told me that some markets were able to do that but my market (DC/Northern VA) would not support a verizon flashed phone. So what's the truth? If I get it unlocked can I get it to work on Cricket?

Anyone come accross this and know how to stop it happening?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just purchased the Samsung Omnia i900 cell phone from this one guy on Craiglist.com. This is a Verizon Phone and the guy had it flashed to Metro PCS. I bought this phone, thought I could use it for Page Plus Wireless. I had my old number ported over to the phone already and now I can't make a call out.
My Questions:
The ESN number is clean, how come I can't make a call out?
Is it because the phone was flashed to a different network and I have to flash it back to Verizon Network before I can use it?
If I have to flash it back, can someone show me how to flash this phone back to verizon network?
I have already asked both verizon and metro to flash the phone for me and they won't do it.
I'm currently on Fido, and I'm interested in Bell's Omnia II. First, I would like to know if it's possible to unlock to use on Fido 3G network?

It's a GSM phone and since he'll only be in the US for about 6 months right now, he doesn't want to get locked into a multi-year contract. Which pre-paid GSM companies are out there that are compatible with his phone? He would like to get voice, text, and data.

http://www.zdnet.com.au/samsung-omnia-339292547.htm
It is quite a nice phone, with good internal memory and a very descent camera.
However it could benefit from being more user friendly. It is particularly difficult to write messages using this phone.
This is the case because more screen area is dedicated to previous "message conversation", and the soft keyboard than the current message.
In fact the more messages that I send to and from friends the harder it gets to write a new message!
Please see this link for a screen shot of my phone:
[url]
As can be seen in the picture there is very little room available for writing the message.
I would like to change my phones settings so that previous message "history" does not get displayed.
Unfortunately I have not been able to find a way to turn this feature off.
Any solution is desirable, I will even give "patches" a go if they offer a solution.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSearched for about an hour before starting this thread. If it has been discussed before I apologize in advance. Here is my problem. My Omnia i910 will only charge when powered down. This leads me to believe it is a software issue. When powered down it charges normally. Red light and charging indicator on the screen. When powered up it does nothing. OS is WM6.1 I am using SPB mobile shell as well. Other than a few changes made with "my favorite hacks" several months ago the phone is pretty much as Verizon delivered it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy wife I and I just receive brand new Verizon sealed in the box Samsung Omnia I910 phones [1 each]. After several years with Verizon we are really excited about starting new accounts with Page Plus. Can someone here help us set up these phones or at least point us in the right direction. We know next to nothing in this area. I am fairly good at building and servicing computers, but I have never done anything on a phone.
Here are some of my questions:
1. Can we get the GPS to work with Page plus on this Samsung Omnia I910? And if yes, how?
2. Can we get the Internet to work with Page plus on this Samsung Omnia I910? And if yes, how?
3. Can we get at least one of our Verizon phone numbers transferred over to Page Plus, and if yes, how?
4. Should we update our OS [I think it is Windows 6.1 Mobile Pro] and if so, how?
5. How do you recommend we set up this phone? Are there like any special tweaks or mods that are cool yet do not alter the stability of the phone?
6. Is Windows Mobile Pro 6.1 any good [we both had Windows Mobile 5 on our VX 6700's and it was ok, but often very slow and crashed a lot too at times]?
7. Could you please be nice to us [it is our very first time here and we are totally excited about setting these new Samsung Omnia i-910's up right the first time.
In case you're wondering, I'm an American teaching English in Korea.I have confirmed that the phone does not have English capability out of the box but I was told by the guy who sold it to me there should be an app to convert it to English.From the research I've done so far (Google) there a lot of people that have the same problem as me but unfortunately I haven't been able to find any solutions.

My last issue seems to be a software issue. The Omnia II has a number of widgets installed, one widget is an Exchange/Activesync widget. I get an error everytime I run the widget, it asks me to re-install. I cannot find a web site that will Provide a file to download for the Exchange/Activesync widget. Samsung support will not assist any instructions on reloading/re-installing the cab.
