Guest TWDtony Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 I've had my Omnia for 24 hours now and in that time I've had to take the battery out of it and reboot it about 10 times! ;) It's not one single situation that makes it freeze - I can pull it out of my pocket and it's froze, or I can take it off charge and it's froze... The weird thing is that if you call it whilst it's "frozen" the caller hear's the ringing noise so it must be the screen that freezes? Don't get me wrong - it's a great mobile device, I was "persuaded" by the T-Mobile salesman away from the HTC Touch Diamond to this slightly more expensive omnia - but now I'm kicking myself... What do you guys think I should do? a> Keep working with the Omnia - trying different ROM's etc b> Let T-Mobile try and "fix" it - even though I know they won't be able to and it will just go to Samsung for a reflashing. c> Take it back and get it replaced with a touch diamond. I'm not too clued up on ROM's etc as I've just upgraded from a Nokia N95... but I currently have: PDA: i900XXHH7/BOHH5 PHONE: i900BOHH2 If that makes any sense?
Guest snoopy-doopy Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 Hi my version is G6/G3 so older than yours but I've never a froze. Thought Samsung managed this prob. Has your Omnia a branding ? think yes

Has your Omnia a branding ? think yes Yes - it is T-Mobile branded... Would flashing with a generic ROM (of the same version) help do we think? If so where do I find one?
Guest Raul6 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 i've got the same rom and it only froze 3 times in last 10 days. I wouldn't play with roms and rather go back to t-mobile and let them sort it if they can. If they can't get HTC ;)
Guest snoopy-doopy Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 Would be the best to go back so they can solve the prob. Do you have no installed progs. runing in the background ?
Guest TWDtony Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 I think i'll take it back then - it's really annoying because I've spent ages setting it up (TomTom 7 etc) I'm now paranoid that it's froze and keep pressing buttons on it whilst it's on my desk to make sure it hasn't frozen again! ;) I can't help thinking though that all current T-Mobile Omnia's will be on the same ROM version and software so I won't gain anything unless it's a hardware fault with my device?
Guest TWDtony Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 Most of the major stuff I close - TomTom etc but I suppose I am guilty of leaving things like messaging running in the background... I also noticed that ActiveSync is in my task manager - even when I haven't sync'd ?

Gavin I've posted on that thread and I'll also update this one... I've deativated the Samsung homescreen widget (the annoying sidebar on the left) and switched to using the Samsung today 2 plugin - no more freezing so far! ;)
Guest Reuben (MY) Posted September 26, 2008 Report Posted September 26, 2008 IC.... so it's the vibration that your phone can't stand for huh? sensitive to tickling? ;) glad you got your phone working now
