Hi guys.
I was wondering, is anyone else having trouble with the play store?
I can access free apps, can't access paid ones.
My O2D didn't update by itself, so i replaced Vending.apk manually three times. First two times from random (can't remember where) sites, and the third try was from the results modaco gave searching this thread.
Again, it works, I just can't access paid apps.

Cheers,
PDK

Was facing problems with wifi not connecting properly. I would keep getting the "Scanning"  "Connecting..." "Obtaining IP address".... "Disconnected" cycle. With Static IP, it would connect to the network, but I still couldnt access internet. I tried the build.prop fix suggested in post#3 of this thread, but it dint work for me**. Finally I realised the issue was with my router settings. My wifi network had WPA-PSK security with WEP encryption enabled. I disabled WEP encryption in my router & it worked - my Omnia is now able to access wifi internet. Hopefully this helps out someone else.

Edit: I now believe it was a combination of the build.prop fix & the router setting that worked for me.

Ok, so as we all know the Camera button currently just freezes the phone. Removing the battery is the only option for reboot when this happens. How can I remove this?

I tried editing the s3c-keypad.kl in system/usr/keylayout as per this post, but for some reason after reboot, none of the keys work for me & my only option is to overwrite the file with my backed-up copy &  remove battery/ reboot again.

I dont mind not remapping the Home or Back keys as that is just a matter of getting used to, but I would really like to remove the camera key to avoid accidentally pressing it.

system/usr/keylayout also has qwerty.kl, s3c-keypad-rev0020.kl & AVRCP.kl... system/usr/keychars have the corresponding .kcm.bin files. Do any of these need to be modified as well??
& I also noticed another path: /usr/keylayout (is this the same as system/usr/keylayout ?)

Ask iPaq to implement my solution for Omnia Pro into OmniaII kernel. It handles keys better. It needs only small adjustments for OmniaII

[ipaq3870]

It has been fixed in v1.0 of my kernel
Changelog and download here

[Kewlkat]

Thank you erikcas & ipaq3870!!

I did check out that thread previously, but it mentions "Camera key crash fix when simultaneously pressing camera key with 2 other buttons"
However, the issue for me is not pressing the camera key with any other button, but just by itself. So even if I accidentally press it (which is bound to happen if am travelling etc) it freezes & then only option is remove battery etc...
After my last post, I tried removing only the "key 158 CAMERA " reference in s3c-keypad.kl. This time the edit did not affect the other buttons, but Camera button still froze the phone.
Next I removed the  "key 158 BACK" &  "key 212 CAMERA " from qwerty.kl. I guess this file isnt used anyway since Omnia i8000 uses s3c-keypad.kl, but I just gave it a shot nonetheless & there was no difference

I'm really loving Android on my Omnia (even if it feels a bit slower than Winmo, I can live with it) But I just wish I could get to the bottom of this issue, seeing as it has worked for other people. I would appreciate any guidance you can offer me. Thanks once again!

P.S: I have the Cyanogenmod beta 2 installed on my external SD card -16GB & class 4 - do you think this might be an issue? (I read somewhere on this thread that a person with class 10 SD card didnt face Camera freeze issues)

Hmmm.... let me re-phrase it: "Fixed system crash due to keypad ISR storm when 3 or more keypad events are received at almost the same time." And that is roughly translated as "Fix camera key crash problem".

Pressing the first half of the camera key is one press event, pressing the other half of it generate 2 more events, one is release, and the other is press - kaboom!

Trust me, no amount of layout change would work. The layout is for Android only, and the kernel keypad driver is at fault here. You need a kernel fix.

[Kewlkat]

Ah..keypad events... I think I got it...
See...now this is the thing...am not sure if I am tech-savy enough to try the kernel fix
The good news is...I just tried the keypad layout suggested by you in your thread i.e.:

• Backup and edit your /usr/keylayout/s3c-keypad.kl file like this:

• 
  key 158   BACK
  key 217   HOME
  key 116   POWER         WAKE_DROPPED
  key 231   CALL                          
  key 102   MENU                          
  key 115   VOLUME_UP     WAKE
  key 114   VOLUME_DOWN   WAKE
  key 26    ENDCALL          

& it worked!! So the camera button now performs "back" without any freezing issues....fingers crossed it remains that way ...
I suspect the last time it did not work maybe because I changed key 26 ?? (does it have to be assigned to ENDCALL??) Ideally I would have liked that key to go to home (similar to my winmo) & cube/key 102 to take me Back, with menu assigned to either half of camera button...lets see will experiment a bit more, & report back...

In the meanwhile will also get a class 10 SD card & reinstall & see if that changes anything  

[ipaq3870]

If you are using the above keymap but without my kernel, you'll probably need "key 26 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED" or otherwise when your phone go to real sleep (after disconnecting USB/power and few seconds after screen blank), you still have an end key that can wake it up.

My kernel has the WinMo power key set as wake up source in the kernel, so you have no problems waking it up. The original don't - even you     have "key 116 POWER WAKE_DROPPED" it still won't wake. A kind fellow has just posted an auto update pack of my kernel in the other thread, which you might be interested to try.

BTW, I personally don't like the end key act as back and as a matter of fact, another commonly used function, and the reason being it's far too easy to disconnect an incoming call accidentally when you are in the middle of something because the end key was pressed to act as function like back. Of course it's just personal taste.

Sorry if this was answered before but I need help! I have android installed in SDcard. It's kind of slowly.
My questions are:
1) If i install it in the internal memory will it be faster? Do I have any risk to the phone if I install it in the internal memory because of the formatting? Is WinMo erased when I format? Is there any way to install it in the internal memory without Linux? I don't know much about programming. Is there any automatic installation way for Internal Memory?
2) Can I access the files in the 8Gb memory while having SD card installation?
3) Also I cannot conect to 3G, only Wifi. Does anyone know how to fix that?
Tons of questions but I need these answers!
Please someone answer me! Thanks!

Cant say based on personal experience, but as per point number 50 of this post, & several other ppl's posts on this thread, difference between MyStorage (i.e. the internal memory) & external SD shouldnt be much. I have only installed on external SD. My previous installation on a class 4 card felt a bit laggy. I have **just** completed installation on a class 10 card & it feels a bit faster, but its a bit too early to say for sure.
If you format your My Storage, you will lose any applications on it. Hence you do a backup with a software like Sprite Backup. Generally speaking unless you have performed some partitioning on your My Storage before, you shouldnt need to format it (if using auto installer for installing on external SD)
2) Can I access the files in the 8Gb memory while having SD card installation?
Yes
3) Also I cannot connect to 3G, only Wifi. Does anyone know how to fix that?
If you mean mobile data, it doesnt automatically detect the network, at least not for me. You need to select your network under Settings >  Wireless & Network settings > Mobile Network Settings > Access Point Names
Then pull down your status bar (top bar with battery & signal strength icon) & you should see a few icons for Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, Brightness & mobile data (2 arrows facing up & down). I had to click on this last icon to enable mobile data.
Tons of questions but I need these answers!
Please someone answer me! Thanks!

I think the easiest installation is using the auto installer on the SD card. You dont need to know Linux or partitioning as such. I have made a post about this, do have a read & give it a go.
I'm a newbie myself, so do take my answers with a pinch of salt.

Thanks ipaq. I believe I did have WAKE DROPPED assigned to key 26 (It was there previously so didnt edit it out). After my previous edit of the key layout, the camera key worked well (as back) a few times, but unfortunately randomly froze the phone again. So I have just re-installed everything on a class 10 SD card. will see how I go & might look at your kernel fix if I get stuck again.

Thanks again for all your efforts
