i have recently upgraded my xda II to wm5 and everything was perfect but when i was going to take a photo i realized that both left buttoms, camera and record, don't work, in any way.
Does anyone have the same problem, or maybe is a natural problem and i haven't read enough?
sorry bout my poor english and thanks for ur great work!!
This is a known issue, but one that doesn't seem to affect everyone. This issue is also being discussed in another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21391&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=325

Hi everyone,
It seems to me that my QTEK 9100 's screen is a lot more bright than my M3100.
And i could'nt find anything about someone mentioning that in any forum (xda or other).
Has anyone noticed that ? Il find it annoying realy.
Thanks
You din't search the right way, screen brightness has been discussed two times already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=60102
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=62097
Use VJLumos II to increase brightness, it works on the Hermes...
Almost
I might be getting a Hermes soon. If I do, I'll finish VJLumos II.

Well thanks a lot for your VERY QUICK answer.
It seems that i need to improve my searching method.
Thanks for your works. As soon (and if) you fix the problem with having to soft reset before using the camera, you will get a donation, for sure.
Such things do make my life easier and avoid frustation from having a good device with stupide restrictions from supplier.
Hope to hear some news soon....

Well... this is a great news !

:shock:
So just how brighter is this superbright setting then?
It's brighter, guessing about 10%. Why not try it?
Or start the camera and you'll get the same effect.

Ah, gotcha. N1

Hi guys
Been looking around the rom section but I am really lost.
I have a HTC Touch with original rom, approx 18 months old. The wife has been using it. Now I have got me hands on it and am looking to upgrade the rom to an all singing one.
I have had a look at the rom section but dont really know what I am looking at, so this is where I was hoping you guys could help.
I basically need the following
A rom that isn't too harsh on memory, as I don't really wanna slow down the device.
Something that improves the bluetooth, as I have had a few dropouts with it, and my bluetooth gps unit is crrently hit and miss, with 8/10 it always showing no gps device, even though I KNOW it is installed correctly.
Also a nice home screen, I quite like the diamond setup, but maybe this cannot be achieved without something like mobile shell.
Also any rom that generally improves performance, battery, touch flo etc...
Guys this may sound like I cant be bothered to look but I really do need some help from the experienced here.
So thanks in advance and I look forward to your help.

hi for a touch the one of the best touch essential v3.5 stable fast memory good chek it out and the touch of hd is also good
grtz weesje
Thanks for the speedy reply.
Is there a link for that rom?
Any other good ones? Wouldn't mind one that has YouTube app also.
Hi there guys.
Don't know if there is any out there already, but I haven't found any yet. This thought just crossed my mind. Isn't it possible to make the omnia's cam software work on the tp2. Since there are more functions into it than in the cam software of the tp2 and I find it also al lot more user friendly. Yesterday I tried the panoramafunction on a friends omnia, and it worked superb. The picture came out really good with no distortion or whatsoever and it was easy to take. So will it be possible to get this to work on the tp2?
I'm curious and waiting to know as well. My brother has the Omnia and I figured the same as you.
Hi all,
I am thinking of selling my Xperia X1, that still is a great phone, but I wanted something faster.
I am considering Omnia 2, because of the battery life. As it carries the same battery capacity as Xperia, I would like to know how it performs.
My other choice was HTC HD2, but when I heard that I could not be sure it would even last me one day, I started looking for something different.
I want a WM phone, as all the programs I have (like GPS Tomtom) run on WM and I am used to it right now.
When I read some reviews about Omnia 2, I got the impression that the Samsung skin is slow and not very useful. I would like to ask if there are some good ROMS for it that solve the problem, and if you think it is worth moving from X1 to Omnia 2, or should I just go HD2.
Thank you all for the input.
UI performance with rom that my O2 shipped (I8000NIL5) was poor. Every time you switched screen widgets reloaded and this took time - just watch some review video and you will know what am I talking about.
Now I am using I8000NJD3 rom (by the way, it is WM 6.5.3) and UI runs smoothly. It is really a big difference! Plus you can choose between widgetplus and samsung today home screens (like work and life mode with B7610). Samsung's cube and main menu are gone but if you ask me they were useless. Also all the programs are updated but there is still room for enhancements.
For me, battery lasts for 2 days - hour or two of conversation, few messages and some web browsing using wi-fi. Decent performance I think.
Well with heavy use I can not get through all day without charging but that is the story with all phones on market.
You mentioned GPS program. It takes few minutes to get a fix on cold start on a sunny day.
And, when I bought a new phone I was choosing between O2 and HD2 too. Decided for O2 because I got it for ahalf of HD2's price (talking about carrier's price, not retail!). I am pretty satisfied with decision.
I had the same choice as well and chose the O2 over the HD2.
I am happy with my little "Sammy" as well.
Mr Frog
I think my Omnia 2 (i920) battery has only died once since having the phone since December. I use internet and messaging pretty heavily daily. I have no problem getting a day to two days worth out of a full charge.
The samsung widget interface isn't the best, definitely laggy and widgets are unresponsive or disappear at times.. but that's why I don't use it
There are tons of other UI's though, the one I've been using and like the best is throttle launcher..
The thing I like most about Omnia 2 is the swype keyboard, makes typing really fast once you get used to it.
The one issue I have had with this phone is that incoming phone calls or text messages will sometimes go unnoticed. That is because the ringer will not sound, yes even when volume is on full. It seems a lot of other people have been having this problem too.. It happens about 40% of the time and is rather annoying.
If I had a choice between HD2 and this phone I would definitely not purchase this one again. Overall it is a good phone, I am just tired of Omnias (had Omnia i910 too). They seem to be late to market with features and so on, not really ahead of the curve..

Never had this problem. But I have I8000, not I920.
out of the box this phone (i8000) is a peace of **** that you will just want to throw away. But thanks to cookers that issue is solved this phone dose everything you need. Using a custom lite ROM i get around 100MB of usable memory vs the 40MB on stock. I read many reviews on this phone as well and was a bit worried about it but took the plunge and could not be happier, the fact it had such bad reviews made it that much more cheaper when i went to purchase a new phone. So in the end it was a great deal for me and the hardware is still amazing for this phone, yeah it not your 1GHz snapdragon but still good enough. I just hope samsung do not forget out this phone and continue to support it, mainly adding openGL support. They have been very good with updates thus far and now its 6.5.3 so it getting better.
This phone has 2 major problems
1.) Low RAM which can be fixed by using a lite ROM, although i hope future updates reduce the reserved RAM.
2.) OpenGL driver, this phones dose not have any. I did not take this into account when i bought the phone. I thought it would just work and all apps won't have any issues and i was wrong. There are devs working on the drivers like chainfire and they do fix many apps like sences and the such but again its not fully featured drivers.
So if you buy this phone you will have to flash and tweak it to get a everyday usable phone.
p.S wtf how do you guys have swype as the default keyboard?

Only I920 has Swype preinstalled.
ohh i wonder if i can get my hands on a cab
Thank you very much for the input. It was very helpful to see what users think about their devices. It makes me sad to see such a great phone, with an OLED screen and a big batterylife, with such poor software. I like WM phones, and I do not think I will switch to android that fast, but the only usable WM phone is HD2 and that has a battery life of an hybrid car (2km just on battery). If you use it moderatly it will not even last you one day.
I hope that this phone will at least have good gps tracking, better batt life, and that with a custom rom it will be faster then my Xperia X1.
If anyone wants to add something new about this phone, just post it here.

Many here currently using kydkylin sence ROM although its a bit slow still a lot faster then stock, just avoid using the music tab if you want to keep RAM usually have 50-60MB after full day. Or if you want the litest ROM there is tw2 JE1 gives around 103MB on boot.
Thanks a lot.

I posted answer in this thread you started.
As said there, roms mentioned there are made by Samsung but can't get them via PC Studio, so I don't know if I can say that this is official upgrade (decide by yourself ).

I quite agree with most points made here, but there's a lot more to this phone than what you get out of the box.
Once you've registered on this and Modaco's forum the possibilities are virtually endless with the i8000.
When I first got this phone I nearly sent it back because of the lagging and I fancied an Android device( I still hunker after the Galaxy S now ) but I have stuck with the i8000 and I am very happy with it thanks to the great people cooking roms out there!
Omnia II is wonderful
I think this phone need excellent people to cook for it. I'm waiting for Energy ROMs to come.
* The camera is realy nice with alot of features to make nice pictures.
* Video recording is wonderful with 720 pixels recording. "I used daiamond, touch pro & HD from HTC. I will tell you it is wonderful and the difference is big.
* The samsung applications are nice and you will see tha the samsung taste is there in all applications. Sometimes you will forget yourself as being using WM!!. It is another taste.
* The battery is really having good life of more than one day for sure
* The processor is 800, the screen is much better then that of HTC.
* Samsung is producing official firmware nearly every month and although it was originally coming with wm 6.1 but it is officially upgradable to 6.5
* with the new firmware coming last July the free ram is nice. With good cooking it will go more.
* The performance is rely fast and rarly you need to do soft reset.
In summary, When excellent cooking coms to this device it will be more wonderful.
Thanks
