Omnia i900 wifi not working

Hopefully, Samsung will post this ROM on their web site soon. Samsung has skinned and re-made a good deal of Windows Mobile's interface, though the core Windows Mobile applications such as IE, contacts, calendar and Office mobile are untouched.

There are 3 Today Screens designed for fingers and quick access to important information and applications. The most talked-about one is the widgets Today Screen, which features a virtual desktop and widget bar. You can drag any of the Samsung-created widgets from the bar to the desktop and they become mini-applications or program launchers. Widgets include a web browser launcher, month calendar, caller photo speed dial 4 contacts supported , a games folder shortcut that looks like a PS3 controller, notepad shortcut, world clock with 2 times, analog and digital clocks, wireless radio control widget Bluetooth, WiFi and the phone radio , music player and a profile changer normal, silent and vibrate options.

Widgets run in both portrait and landscape mode in fact everything does, unlike the Diamond , and you can have a different set of widgets on the desktop for portrait and landscape modes. The default right softkey is assigned to Samsung's "Main Menu", a finger-friendly application launcher with a screen dedicated to a selection of built-in applications and a second editable shortcut screen.

While widgets is cool, it might not suit those accustomed to the usual, informative Windows Mobile home screen with its support for plugins for appointments, search, messaging and more. Samsung's other 2 Today screens excitingly named "Samsung Today 1" and "Samsung Today 2" are more practical for those who want the most info on the go.

The first has an embedded application launcher and icons that inform you of calls, text messages and new email.

The second is less busy and has the same icons for calls and messaging along with shortcuts to a photo speed dialer and settings. A widget to inform you of missed calls see above. Likewise it does this for email, text and voicemail message. Here's a video of the Omnia's user interface enhancements and the Opera 9. How does the Omnia handle screen locking? We've seen various implementations from acceptable to abominable on touch screen phones, and the Omnia is near the top of the pack.

Since it lacks the iPhone's proximity sensor, it can't turn off the phone because you're holding it close to your face for a call. Instead it relies on a timer and you can set it to disable touch response in 10, 20 or 30 seconds, or not disable it when in a call. The screen doesn't turn off so you can see call status, which we like the Diamond's instant-off drove us nuts, though we love the remove the stylus to unlock the screen and start a call note. To re-enable the i's touch screen during a call, press the mouse button.

What about when not in a call? The first ROM had screen autolock enabled the smartphone's screen locked once it turned off and you had to hit two on screen buttons to activate it. That was very annoying. The new ROM forgoes the auto screen lock which really wasn't needed since you can set the phone to only wake up when the power button is pressed. Should you wish to lock the screen, you can hold the call end button alternatively you can assign the long call-end press to terminate the data connection.

To unlock the screen if that's what you've using the long call-end press for , press and hold call end again for a second or two. Instead of a traditional d-pad, the Omnia has a tiny trackpad, similar to the Samsung i's. I know i should be going through the previous discussions to seek my answer If anyone knows or has tried to use the GPS in north america, a reply asap would be very appreciated.

A few questions guys Being an owner of an Omnia for the past week I have gathered the following hickups: a some apps: world clock card reader are not present on the 16gb version I have b annoyinngly the second Home interface screen the gsmarena guys have is not present either.

You get the widget screen, the shortcut screen and the main menu screen. And even on the widget screen the widget about birthdays is not there. You can see your second line caller if you have call waiting enabled on your network and hear the beep and so does the caller calling get a notification from the network.

However when you are the caller and the person you are calling is on their second line you get no such notification. To my knowledge this is an issue with Win Mobile. If anyone can help i ll appreciate it!!!!

Meesh, 04 Aug the good news that phones4u will be doing the handset sometime in august, so they say anyway, I am an existing O2 customer, but not happy with their apathy over the Omnia. Have you used P4U before are they any good, or typical of most Hight Streets shops in the UK with no notion of customer service? Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit.

Hi, All you have to do is either choose another type of connection, like for instance "My Work Network" in the "Select Networks" option under the "Advanced" tab of the "Connections" screen. Regards Nuno. How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.
