Omnia Newbie

[Guest Gaz25]

Hi all im new round here and just got myself the Omnia today. I had a HTC touch before (upgraded it to WM 6.1) and I have a couple of questions since my upgrade.

1)On my htc touch, any data connections like Wi-fi, gprs etc, if I wanted to close them I could just click the icon on the top bar. It would tell me whats running and display and X next it so that i could close it. I don't seem to be able todo this on the omnia. When ever i click the icons it just tells me what is active. Is there a quick way of closing them as currently i have go through a few menus to get there?

2)Is there a setting i could change or a lite program i can download so that if i click on the X on any program, it will terminate and not carry on running in the background?

3)This is my ROM version, i900XXHJ4/MSHJ1. Is this the latest one? im on O2 in the UK.

Thanks for any help

1) From the TouchWiz interface, you have a connections widget where you can activate or deactivate whatever you like, from Samsung1 you have the settings tab where you have the option to do so as well.

2) If you press & hold on the Main Menu hard-button (top right button) or swap your finger from the lower bar of the screen to almost the middle of the screen, a launcher application will pop with all the current application running, you can switch beetween them or close one/all.

3) Sorry, cannot help you with that, the best way is to ask your service center or someone from O2 UK might help you better.

I don't seem to have this connections widget. I have a wireless Manager widget but that controls wireless, bluetooth and the phone.

It is the same one, isn't this what you are looking for? to enable and disable WiFi/Bluetooth/Phone with one click?

If you are talking about connection as in closing certain GPRS connection, umm sorry you will have to dig deep in the settings menu.

There is a registry hack where you can display a Disconnect button next to the active connection, I am not what is it though.

or you can configure the call-end button to close all GPRS connections when you hold it instead of locking the screen.

Yeah sorry I should have explained myself better. I was referring to the GPRS connection.
