If in case I don't like the DXIA5, would you know if samsungmobile.com still carries old ROM? If not, do you know a site where I can download old ROMs? Thanks!

      I am not one of the many fans of the Samsung Omnia. I love its features and its versatility as a pocket computer but as a telephone it leaves me cold. I have had issues with receiving calls if an email comes through or the ringer will turn itself off if I ignore email alerts. The audio on my particular phone has been pooor to none existent. To hear calls I often have to turn on the speaker option. As a computer great device as a phone get me a Samsung SAGA.

                  DXIA5 First Impressions
                  1. Processor seems to be working doubly hard as the back of my phone (below the battery is warmer compared to the DXHJ1.
                  2. Unread message counter on my home screen stopped working (note that I am using SPB Mobile Shell and SPB Skins).
                  3. Battery life looks a bit better than DXHJ1.

                  Jin,

                  If I do a reformat, will the ROM revert to the previous one?

                    Imurana, 06 Aug 2009How can i improve my keyboard letters to be bigger than wha... moreWhen it comes to making it bigger I guess there is no way because it is designed to fit in the screen. If you are using the qwerty keys then I suggest you switch to a multi-tap one like the Samsung Keypad or the Samsung Phonepad. If you like qwerty keyboard that is easy enough to use then try using Resco's. I personally like the Samsung Keypad (qw|er|ty).

                                  Jin and Shadrach are two different individuals. Jin is our expert here while I (Shadrach) is just a geek who's new into windows mobile LOL. ANyway, your phone version says i908...where are you from and who's your carrier? Usually it's just i900 or i910. And I see you're using a ROM version that's somewhat old. If flashing/upgrading your camera didn't work, then I think you need a full ROM upgrade. Hard resets work too y'know. Just remember the risks of both a ROM upgrade and a hard reset. To check for ROM updates for your country you can go to samsungmobile.com

                                  Oh, and BTW, Anonymous, please put a name when you post. There are a lot of people posting and it's pretty hard to track who's got what problem. :)

Anyway, why do you want to upgrade your camera? there are settings out there that makes the camera a lot better. Go to this www.careace.net to find out more.

                                      I used get that error only if I get a ghost wifi connection. Have you verified the wifi connection by using a different device like a laptop or another handheld? Sometimes, wifi routers are configured in a way that even if you know the encryption key, the router needs to be configured to accept your device's mac address (this is usually done by the people who want extra security). I am thinking that what you probably have there is either a ghost connection or you may need to restore factory settings (hard reset) in your phone (which is really a pain in the @$$ since you'll need to reinstall everything). Doing a hardware-based hard reset though will only reset settings in the phone memory (it will not reset your 8/16GB storage and your MicroSD).

Though I haven't really tried loading some kasi I am still okay with the performance of my phone. If I need to get it faster or whatever then that's the time i'll try to load cooked ones...or maybe cook one myself. Registry tweaks help in making the UX (User eXperience) a lot better depending on your preference. I haven't used my stylus for a long time now and that is because of the tweaks which makes thing easier like better touch sensitivity, bigger fonts, bigger scrollbars, you can even disable the threaded messaging through the registry...

                                        The dangers are present though..it's like loading a faulty ROM, but there are sure ways on how to restore factory settings even if you cannot boot up.

                                        The registry tweaks are pretty easy if you already have an understanding of the windows registry (pretty much the same with any windows PC). I'll post some nice tweaks as I implement them.
