Guest MASTANA20 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 okay finally got gps to do something, which is find me where i am. good news, this new rom does work but when using windows live search, i click "locate me", it says "sorry we could not automatically detect your location". funny things is when i click on "change location" and click on "curret gps" it will find me. so what's the difference and why locate me wont work on live search. other wise it's working and i am so happy that finally someone has satisfied all of us omnia lovers which verizon couldn't do. thanks a bunch.

Guest tthurston31 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Will I still have all my contacts after I do this Flash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Omega Ra Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Will I still have all my contacts after I do this Flash? NO, you will lose EVERYTHING...do a back-up first, then after flashing you can restore your contacts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tthurston31 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 NO, you will lose EVERYTHING...do a back-up first, then after flashing you can restore your contacts I'm a complete newbee, how do I do a back-up? Then how would I restore it? Sorry for the dumb questions, but I need to ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gotwillk Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 yes i would also like to know how to do a backup. also, am i backing up the settings or the registry? if its the registry, won't the old values be incompatible with the new firmware when i restore it?

Guest viper222 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) I have tried 3 times to install the GPSToggle. I have downloaded and saved it to my device (My Device, My Storage, and My Storage Card) and when I run the GPSToggle.cab I get "Installation of GPSToggle.cab was unsuccessful" I have soft reset my phone, and still no go. I didn't want to do a Hard Reset again since I JUST got it all set backup. But did anyone else have this issue and come up with a solution? Thanks. Edit- First, sorry I quoted the wrong post. Second, I figured it out. I downloaded it on my PC (Windows 7) then emailed it to myself, but for some reason it got corrupted. I emailed myself the Link and downloaded directly to my Omnia and it worked perfectly. Edited April 15, 2009 by viper222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob V Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Anyone figure out how to word-wrap in the new version of Internet Explorer Mobile? I've got it set on mobile in the View settings. But many websites don't show up as a single column and I have to scroll right and left to read everything.It's probably a dumb question, but with all due respect, is there some reason to even use PIE anymore? Opera just blows PIE away in every respect, to the point that I haven't used PIE since getting my Omnia. (And Opera does a great job at dynamically reformatting text into a single column!) :excl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Solange82200 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 i did this registry edit... all it did was mess up my system settings menu.... how do i fix it back? do i just add a value in that same place as "Redirect"? Yes, choose a new String Value, and name it Redirect. I had the same question earlier in the thread and Adrynalyne answered me :excl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jmath679 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 First post here, and also first smartphone and rom flash for me too. I read up on this thread last night and this morning and decided to try it out. Went off without a hitch until I used SPB backup to try and restore all of my configs and programs. It screwed up the phone function and I had to do a hard reset, but after that I just restored my saved messages and contacts and restored the rest by hand. It was really quite simple to do even for a first timer like me. It was slightly stressing though. I spent most of the day trying to get the GPS working and finally managed to get it functioning with Windows controlling it. I had switched back and forth from Windows and the Com8 stuff a bunch of times until it finally registered my location. It was quite interesting zooming down onto my roof and seeing the blip that was me. Throughout the day I have installed different programs onto the phone and all have worked flawlessly. I first updated the start bar icons and then put on SPB Mobile Shell and its 3.2 skin pack. (I may try out M2D in a week or so.) Next I installed S2U2 and it is functioning properly also. I am using Google Maps atm, but may try out other GPS software in a few days. I also installed Astraware Boardgame pack and am planning on getting an emulator or two. Sorry for the long post but I wanted to outline what has worked for me for all of the other noob users out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest POMF Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 I love it, but I never had any problems with Vista in the first place :excl: Here here! I'm interested to try out 7, but I too have used Vista since it's release and never had any trouble. It amazes me that people still use XP (the Fisher Price of operating systems) and continue to complain about Vista without ever trying it. Has anyone had an issue with new rom and M2D when clicking on a message (in messaging tab)to reply to it the XT9 keyboard pops up even when XT9 phonepad is checked? It's extremely frustrating. I've tried Omnia SIP (which I used on the factory rom with great results), but that hasn't helped either. I've also turned automatic keyboard popup on and off but get the same results.

I like both xp and vista... i havent really found anything new in vista that makes me want to run vista on all my machines.... i am excited about windows 7 though... i really hope they go a completely different way with this one than xp or vista.... i havent messed with the keyboard that much.... i need to find out how to turn the keyboard popping up off.... i just havent searched yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a program called SPB backup and backed up my system.. then did a hard reset then did the flash. After the flash worked I then executed the self extracting backup that SPB created and it restored all settings and it knew I had a new rom.

Guest gotwillk Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 ok i did the flash and i dont have that new keyboard feature where the letters pop up when you press them. can't seem to find the setting to turn that on also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tfmendonca Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 hello all, Good work everyone on developing this new rom! I am a complete noob when it comes to flashing, roms etc... So I am trying to get a frim grip on this. I continue to read that this is quite easy to do but after looking into the pdf doc. in the first post it dosent seem as easy as everyone is making it sound. If someone could generate a step by step flow chart or process that could make this a no brainer for people like me it, im sure everyone the needs it would be greatly apprciate it including myself. Secondly, What are the benefits in taking such a huge risk with the phone? what kind of memory is freed up? what kind of hard facts can people post. I've also read that doing this can improve your reception? Can someone please confirm. To be honest this is my only want! I have horrible reception and that alone would be worth the risk. Also I hate to be so nervous about doing this, but this is a work phone and it has taken me a long time to set it up to a point that i feel is ideal for my work and personel use. Any input from all of you would be greatly appreciated. One more thing, may I suggest that we split the posts. ROM and specific info regarding the rom itself example: apps need to flash rom, apps in the rom itself, memory, other stats in one post, and results, trouble issues, fixes and anything else in another topic. Its tough to keep 30 plus pages in order. Sorry for the lengthy post, im just looking for clean and precise info. Many thanks T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bikercr Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 It's probably a dumb question, but with all due respect, is there some reason to even use PIE anymore? Opera just blows PIE away in every respect, to the point that I haven't used PIE since getting my Omnia. (And Opera does a great job at dynamically reformatting text into a single column!) :excl: I like Opera for many websites, but PIE is better for scrolling without your finger. Mouse cursor can be used on the arrow key at the bottom of the right scroll bar. I also like the Favorites set up better than Bookmarks (single instead of double click). Now, if I could just get back the word wrap feature. In the older PIE, you could set up for single column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is because you didn't turn the Phone OFF. Before you plug it in, you have to turn the phone completely off. After you press Detect, and plug the phone in, you then need to turn the phone on....
