You need to install items to "My Storage" or storage card. You can shift many items to the storage card from the device.

Yes this phone needs to be tweaked. But the rewards far outnumber those who have this with verizon with all their bloatware. Sure you will pay less per se with say Verizon, and all will be good. But take into account the charges that they mandate you pay... contract, data, etc.

Me personally, yes, I was peeved too when I first got this phone and was ready to chunk it, but I stuck with it and followed the great instructions given on this forum and now, I have a phone that is a far cry better than out there and I don't have a contract with at&t, don't have THEIR bloatware and don't have to pay their mandated "data" chgs as with the iphone as a example.

To get something nice, you have to work at it. It will always come with a price.. either by contract or our own work; never free.

Follow wizards 32 steps as many have, and you will be happy with this phone and will have gained value knowledge.

I too think they shouldn't require so much work. However, what is your alternative? Get a locked phone to a specific carrier and not be able to do much at all? Have all the carrier's "bloatware" stuck in there where you can't modify or remove anything? Be tied to a contract?

I agree with you. We shouldn't have to do so much. As an example, my sister has the 16gb iphone. Yes, it's nice, but there is no way it can do what this Omnia does. Not the apps, camera, skins per se.. nothing. Plus the cost. Don't forget about that. The added cost that the carrier REQUIRES because they are greedy for money and want more. We on the other hand, don't have to endure all that. So, in the long run as always, you get what you pay for.

I would rather be doing something else also. But in my case, this is a learning experience for me. And you are absolutely right about what the phone are becoming. Keep in mind who they are geared to.. the younger crowd, not say someone my age (50+). Again, it is all about money, not simplicity any more.

Hi, I am a new Samsung Omnia i910 owner.  I came across your message about saving Device Memory.  I checked out what I had used and I think I need to do some deleting or redistribution of files?   Storage free: 10.97 MB  Program free: 61.52 MB


As I began to explore files I became confused as to how to begin... could you, or do you have time to help me, through this process??
Appreciatively,
Sarah

HM, brarce yourself.  I've done two hard resets to re-install everything to storage card, and even with just SPB shell and a few other apps am down to under 10mb;  - but to be sure it is now a fairly sexy device.

I plan to do the simpler of these steps this week, not having time to get detailed.  Once I'm done I hope SPB backup can restore all settings for next hard reset.  If not, I'm probably done with this phone.

Are you refering to rom or ram?

Hi Wizard

I followed your process below to replace the 25 files with 288b but when I tried to paste into Omnia's windows, the paste option is not highlighted. I also tried to drag and drop but it does not allow me to drop into Omnia's windows. Please tell me if I have missed a step like renaming the 25 mp3 files first before performing the below process.

1. Connect Omnia to PC using the data cable.
2. "Microsoft ActiveSync" will appear
3. Click "Explore"
4. "Mobile Device" will appear
5. Double click "My Windows Mobile-Based Device"
6. Double click "Windows"
7. Copy the files on PC & paste into Omnia's Windows
8. Confirm File Replace will appears, click yes
9. Cose "Mobile Device"
10. Close "Microsoft ActiveSync"
11. Detach data cable from Omnia & PC
12. Soft reset Omnia 
 
 
 

Hi Metalmanicman..

I have installed Total Commander and followed the steps you mentioned. After unchecking the "Read Only", "Archive", "System" and Hidden" Properties. I clicked ok and I also tried clicking on the change now. But when I go back to "Launcher.exe.T1.skin" to check, the items are still checked. Please advise me what I should do next. For your information, the "Achive" property is originally unchecked.
