Hi,
I've seen some rumours that the B7610 does have a digital compass even though it doesn't feature on the spec sheets. It seems pretty unlikely that Samsung would put one in and keep it secret, but I do remember that HTC did that with the FM radio on the Touch Pro 2 - or did I invent that...?!
Anyway, if anyone can tell me for sure whether there is a 'secret' digital compass on the Omnia Pro B7610, despite the absence of software for it, I'd be very grateful. Thanks very much!
Yes, it has
Yes man, sure Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 has a digital compass built in, and it works perfectly.
You can try it without software buy using the inbuilt test menu (just type *#0*# to get it)
or you can use (O2Compass V3.1) found in MoDaCO forum under Omnia 2 section and again it works perfectly.
That's fantastic news - I have to have one now! Thanks very much for the info!

Got my X1 today and doing some testing tells me that Copilot live 7 satnav software doesnt seem very happy on X1 in case any of you were thinking of getting it. Works ok but seems to have a problem with the resolution. I was curious as Toshiba G900 is WVGA I think and it is officially supported by Copilot.
Hi Mate
Why not go for Tomtom 7, works flawlessly on mine and automatically changes to landscape when opening keyboard.
Cheers
TomTom 7 works like a charm on my UK Vodaphone X1 and swapping to landscape was flawless.
I recommend it also
This is not good news. Do you know if ALK are doing anything about this? I've done a quick search of the various forums and your post is the only reference I can find on the matter. I'd be interested to know if the Touch HD has the same problem.
I would love to use TT 7 but !
where can I buy it - in Germany no way !
Pls help !!!!

Strange, because I got a mail from ALK yesterday. It said that Copilot should work with X1. They hadn`t done much testing yet, but it wasn`t any reason it shouldn`work according to ALK.
Try send them a mail to see what they answer.
Works ok for me
I have Co Pilot working fine and changes to landscape too. Just loaded it and off it went....no problems at all!

Thats interesting and I couldnt see why it shouldnt work either so Ill ask alk about it. Problem i have (even tho it functions ok) is resolution. It takes up whole screen in portrait with text really big & in landscape it wont use whole screen & text so small impossible to read even with a magnifying glass!

There are links to TomTom 7 on this site but you won't find any maps as you have to buy them from tomtom.
Google is your friend tho
I have TomTom 7 and UK maps and Speed camera database and its fantastic, started it up on my way home from work and locked onto 9 sats in 4 seconds
Right I am looking for a new phone to upgrade from my Tytn 2 and I have got it down to these two. At the minute I use my phone for personal use and make good use of the PIM functions, calander, tasks etc.. I also have like to have a good multimedia base for photos and videos not so music because I have an Ipod. So my question really is which is the best, Samsung I like for its faster processor and larger screen and dimensions, however the x1 covers nearly everything apart from the faster processor and its more expensive. It also has a qwerty keyboard whereas the samsung doesn't is an on screen keyboard as bad as it sounds?
So my main question which is the best?
Also I just have a few more questions regarding softwareon the x1, does it have the on screen mouse pointer like the omina and does it come with photo, video and mp3 editing software as standard like the omina?
Sorry if this is wrong place its my first post
Thanks for everyones help in advance

I would go for the X1, it had 4x the screen resolution and a qwerty keyboard is a must for me. It is however more expensive. PDAdb.net does a good comparison of features, and try reading some reviews and hopefully it will help you decide.
Regarding the faster Processor of the Omnia. My father got an Omnia and I have to say that the X1 is in fact the faster device.
The Onscreen Keyboard of the Omnia is quite good, would say something comparable to the HTC Keyboard. If you want to send MMS then you have to install exttra software on the Omnia. The MMS Composer of the Omnia is just Bullsh...t. Some Settings on the Omnia are just weird, for example the Camerasettings. Last but not least, my father is thinking about to buy a X1 and give the Omnia to his wife. I would say good PPC are both and if you want a hardwarekeyboard and standdart plugs (like miniusb and 3,5mm Streoplug) then X1, if you don't care about then the Omnia is also a very good choice.
I have read quite a few reviews but however I carnt find one comapring the omnia and X1 directly. However I am leaning towards the X1 at the minute. Can anyone else should any light on the software on the X1?
Omnia has a pool screen compared with X1. The best advantage of Omnia is the price.
Hi All,
Opera build 2532 that comes with the new ROM has a bug with Outlook Web Access pages....unfortunately that means I can't use it. There seem to be a lot of other (non X1 specific) builds around. Does anyone know if any of them will work well on the X1 and support the touch pad?
TIA
For me, in v.2532, AEKmap (for greek layout writing with hard keyboard) is not working.
I've already tried 2520, 2808, 15233, beta2, 86.5, none of them is working with optical button.
I was thinking about OMNIA version (which has optical as well)... but which is it?

Thanks for the link. I already found build 15233 in a thread SOMEWHERE in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260
Might have been the Omnia QVGA thread where someone posted a VGA cab. Yes, that build works exceptionally well. Has the new invisible zoom bar. The touch pad doesn't work ....... but what the hell, who needs it when you can move th page with your finger.
There is a later build 15529 but zooming really does NOT work very well on my Xperia and it seems otherwise the same.
Cheers
I would like to have touch pad working...
I think that it is very usefull when you are browsing with auto zoom in "fullscreen".
Hi.
I try to determine are my HTC Touch2 have GSensor.
I run some app using g sensor and it seams that part of them not work and part of them run but do not react on phone move.
I'm afraid that this phone don't have this sensor
definetly no, it dosn't have g sensor
I've got the AT&T Touch2 and mine's showing it has a G-Sensor. Oh snap!
Looking at specs on HTC site, shows a g sensor
Additional Features
- Motion G-Sensor
- Ambient Light Sensor
- FM Radio
http://www.htc.com/us/product/attpure/specification.html
Wrong specifications, diffrent phone.
This is the Touch 2, and except for the AT&T version that might have a G-sensor, the other verions do not have a G-sensor.
Hey! It is NOT same device. Lot of the differents between Touch2 and AT&T Pure. Like Camera resolution, sensors, etc.
yep, Touch2 doesn't have gsensor
G-sensor is hidden in the bottom of 3.5 phone socket...
HTC didn't equip it to all models, therefore it lacks in most of specifications.
To verify how it works go here:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCsensor\Gsensor
Change default value and try it

What key to insert and which value to change? Be a little more precise, please...
g sensor
how can i go there ??
I dont even have the setting
What key and value shall be used here??? Mine shows blank...
I'm confused. So HTC Touch 2 (not the AT&T ver.) does or doesn't have the G-Sensor?
I'm about to buy it, so it'd be nice to know.
Default , T3333 / MEGA / Touch2 DOES NOT HAVE G-SENSOR !
Please use SEARCH
it is more simple to search for an issue then to ask it all over again, so please try to search first !!!!

Cant agree more, there is a description all over the internet, NO G-SENSOR
Thread Closed
In fact it was joke prepared to 1APR
HTC Mega was assuming to have G-sensor but HTC decided to spare on Touches.
Mega has no G sensor. Quoted registry entry is supposed to be present at any WM phone.
Hello,
I used Tomtom 6 VGA on a WVGA Xperia, but had a WVGA>VGA fix program to reduce the display area.
Tomtom worked very well.
Now passed on to the OmniaPro B7610 and Omnia 2 I8000 and the WVGA>VGA fix software does not work anymore, the Omnia goes back to WVGA after I asked to be reduced to VGA.
Does anyone knows of a WVGA>VGA fix software for Omina mobiles , plz ?
Thank you
you better find another build of the tomtom cab, the version 7 exists for WVGA devices so you don't have to switch your display settings, and you can use all space on your screen
Thank you. I understand there are other versions.
But I already own this Tomtom and did not want to buy another one.
In case the WVGA > VGA tweak program exist I could make use of it.
