Ritson, 11 Nov 2010Hi Lawrence, can you advise on how to change the ROM? and w... moreLike i said, the procedure takes about 10-15 minutes. I recommend custom roms because they have less bugs, improved drivers and, the most important thing more memory available. Not to mention they move alot faster.
I can't recommend a rom, because you may not like it. All you have to do is to look on modaco.com. There are alot of chefs that cook good roms(with TF3D, TF, HTC SENSE, Titanium). Just read and choose the one you like. You can always flash back to a stock rom, but i guarantee you won't do it.

I used the SIM card of another service provider and the sms was sent with no problems.. i put my sim card again and it didn`t work! other users of the same service provider can sms with no issues.. ) so I really don`t see what the problem is... any ideas? :\

Lucas, 10 Nov 2010Is there any chance of having ID pictures for may contacts ... moreThere are some 3rd party apps, like resco contact manager, s2u2 wich can handle incoming calls. I use s2u2 because it's free and it has interesting features like iphone lockscreen.You can set it to handle incoming calls, with 3 id options(fullscreen, thumbnail,frame). Give it a try.

Is there any chance of having ID pictures for may contacts displayed in big format when I make or receive a call?
I mean what a 3.7" screen is good for if when you receive a call the ID picture of the contact is displayed only in a small part of the screen? Same goes when you're making a call and the ID picture is dispalyed even smaller than when you receive calls.
They should display ID pictures in a size that fits fully in the 3.7" screen, like in Nokia's N78, for example.

My phone drains like crazy if it's set to High..
P.S. I'd agree with Lawrence with your ROM. since your battery is new, you should get almost 2 days of normal use with it.

Ritson, 10 Nov 2010Hi Lawrence, sorry I am not a mobile buff or understand com... more@ Ritson . Then you have the answer. Your actual rom is not battery friendly :P. A new one should do it. You don't have to be a computer wizz to do it yourself. The process takes about 10-15 minutes. If you are not that confident,go to a gsm service, but they will charge you.
@pink phoenix. There are alot of 3rd party apps for back-up. But i don't understand why do you need it. If you flash a new rom, it's not recommended to restore a backup from a different old one. The sms/mms/contacts, yes...they work...but not other apps. If you want to backup your media files(pictures, videos etc), just connect the phone in storage mode and copy your files on pc :).
Besides, flashing a new rom won't erase your storage, only main memory. I can tell you this for sure, because i'm testing many roms on my phone and it never erased my storage.
Again, for all those who really want a better omnia, look on modaco.com. A simplegoogle search modaco i8000 will guide you to the site.
Good luck

Where do I find what ROM is being used. I had the phone upgraded from 6.1 to 6.5 whilst in Singapore. I have checked that no apps are running, but still a full battery even on standby does not get me half a day, sometimes its dead within a couple of hours. Its so frustrating as I have a work iphone that gets me a full day even when using. Any help or advice would be welcomed. Thanks

I have had my Omnia II since it first came on the market in Singapore last year. I moved back to the UK earlier this year. I have just had a new battery in the phone. I have a problem with the battery getting drained so quickly even when not using. Can someone advise on how to prevent this or is this a trait of this particular model. I have also seen adverts for the larger size battery, but the downfall is the larger back section required, is it worth it? Look forward to any advice on this thanks..
