Samsung Omnia i910

[Jason]

I've been using finger suite for a few weeks now and it's really nice, specifically the Windows menus augmentation, a lot fatter touch areas

I have this phone loaded down already, it's crazy how many functions it performs for me nowadays. Still cannot heat a room or inflate a tire though =\

Well my i910 GPS was disabled by Verizon unless you paid $10/month for their Navigator service. They released a statement that they would unlock in the first half of 2009. Well the ROM was leaked, I loaded it and now my GPS works. Woohoo!!!

I downloaded FingerSuite, but I haven't tried it yet. Thanks for the opinion on it. I will give it a try. Have you loaded Advanced Configuration Tool? It allows you to modify the scroll bars and arrows for all WinMo windows. You can do it manually in the registry, but its easier in the GUI. If you search HowardForums or MoDaCo you can find it easily. It does 100s of commonly modified settings all in one GUI. It's a great freebie tool.

ROM leaked by Verizon includes unlocked GPS. AGPS is not working so it takes a little while to get a good lock. I also have toyed with tethering, which is sharing your phone's data connection to your PC/laptop. It works like a champ with a certain cab file install and you don't have to pay VZ $15/month for it.

If anyone has one of these phones and needs info on how to do this stuff, shoot me a PM or post here in this thread. I'm lovin my Omnia (i910).

I've had a bit of a bother with this thing and was about to start looking for a solution or hack:

bluetooth, my previous HTC could bluetooth files automatically (it would turn bluetooth on when needed and off when finished transferring).

I'm forever bluetoothing files on this i900 only to realize that I haven't turned the bluetooth on, d'oh! This is irritating according to the habits I'd formed from my previous phone.

I have found out that I can leave the bluetooth on all day long and it doesn't eat 10% of the battery. Nice to know and didn't have to add anything on top to solve the problem.

FYI

If you use the "Samsung Today 2" today screen, it has a settings button that gives quick access to BT, Wireless, Flashlight, etc. It's not listed in the today items by default, but it is installed. You have to add a few registry entries and then it'll show up. Modaco has instructions, or I have a reg file if you want to try it.

SPB Mobile Shell (my preferred GUI) gives quick enough access, it's just not like me old phone that spoiled me by requiring no input from me at all! Next best think I know of is a registry tweak to toggle BT tied to a hardware button.

but really, leaving it on at all times is perfect. Never seen a phone where it didn't consume a lot of battery tho, this one it does not!
