Samsung Omnia and Cab files - General Topics

Hi all..
currently, i am using Samsung i900 Omnia which is running WM 6.1. I downloaded some cab files to my phone. But i cannot see those cab files i have downloaded to my phone.
How can i solve that problem? I want to install some cab files in my phone.
thanks

While I am unable to answer your question, I do have one for you. Where did you get your Omnia? I'm in the US and am looking to buy one. Thanks, and good luck finding the cab files you downloaded!

well kenosis,
it just depends on where you placed your cab files.
if u used activesync, then u could simply use explorer to drag and drop you cab file onto the varios folder on the phone.
there are basically 3 locations you can place your CAB files.
1. my device - (EEPROM/flash)??. this is where my documents and most other folder are located. limited memory space, so use wisely.
2. my storage - 8/16 GB internal flash memory. plenty of spave to play around with. good idea to install stuffs here.
3. storage card - microSD card. use as u like.
hope this helps.

... and halorin, i believe for now it is only available in singapore. so far i'm pretty satisfied with my omnia.

www.ebay.com.sg (it's in English and a lot of people will deliver). Don't want to teach you to suck eggs but look out as there are a few selling SG$1000 phones with single digit seller ratings.
You can also try www.whymobile.com (another SG site) <-- proper online etailer.
BE VERY CAREFULL WITH EBAY USA <-- had about 5 or so on it
I found 2 yesterday that asked people to email them at the bottom of the advert. They then explain that they are changing there paypal account and that because of this they need you to use the "Ebay Protection Plan" system. This involves them sending you an email from checkoutsupport.com (which doesn't have a www.) asking you to forward the money to a Western Union Agent......
Suspect? I thought so! Also, to boot, when I challenged the guy via email he got VERY stroppy. So I reported them. No sooned I had reported these two adds, I then found a third identical advert .....
Finaly, you can also pre-order on Expansys. Should be available any day now.

Hi sab73. Is it true that there is no stylus stored in the device? How are you managing without one?

Correct, its attached bia a bit of string.

Omnia/SE Xperia request
XDA given it is an htc only website wont open its doors to foreign brands. This is a problem because the new prolific phones will be from samsung and sony ericson. We should email the admins and re request some progress be made to accommodate those who have an omnia and future experia owners. The samsung Omnia request already got shut down by a mod. Please email your local admin and mod about this so that we all can mutually benefit by this

There IS a thread for the x1! It's in the "Other HTC Manufacture" section. As far as the Omnia, well..., it's not made by HTC. (Raphael is up,also. Thanks)

well is the x1 made by htc?

I would guess so, cause it's in the "other HTC manufacture" section.

double post

It was a rhetorical question doggy, Its a Sony Ericson phone. I just dont understand why some mods and admins are opposed tot he omnia if they have a SE Xperia forum.

You don't understand, I'm pretty sure HTC IS making the x1 for SE. I'm sure I read that somewhere. HTC is not making the Omnia. That's the difference

Ohh thats right I read that a long time ago, That was in the february articles. I havn't seen or heard anything else on that matter since then. But yeah, you are right my apologies.

No problem. Now, if only HTC and SE gets it all together...

Which WM5.0 Device Should I Get

Ok, my PDA2K is running WM5.0 but as you all may know it still has flaws and well I have had it for over a year and think it's time to get a new phone, the only problem is that I have no way of seeing or using any of these WM5.0 devices until I buy it. so I wanted to ask all the users of these devices what they suggest.
Your information would be greatly appreciated.
so you're not able to go down to a store and try before you buy??...is that what you mean??
"other device"
I suggest the Advance TC M.A.G.I.C.

man that is sweet built in gps too, but I wouldn't be suprised if it turned out to be like the Motorola MPx
Actually, I've been in contact with this company, and they confirm a launch. A more exact date can be pinpointed by mid-April. They already have a sole distributor to handle things as well
well then I am going to look to you to let me know when who and if you can how much
I am sure like all new Windows phones it will hit the market at some outrageous amount right....
Do you have any additional info you could pm me??
Thanks
Check your PM box. I PMed you some details on the device. If you have any further questions, just PM me and I can forward to my contact in Advance TC
I've recently got myself the Mio A701 (used to have a JAM).
A nice PPC. Its got GPS builtin which is very useful and is only marginally larger than the JAM was.
Comes with lots of good extras - car screen mount, car charger etc.
And it's no more expensive than things like the JAMin.
I feel I've made a good buy
One downside is that being very new the Mio support website aint got a lot on it yet. But apparantly they are working on some ROM updates.
See it here.

O2 Stealth

Hi folks, I am new here. Jst bought a O2 stealth and need to know wat platform (HTC...etc) that it is running on. Also, if there is any AD2P cabs that is found here to use my Motorola headphones... :O
Thanks in Advance.
O2 XDA Stealth is made by Gigabyte not by HTC. Therefore its platform is not on currently this site.
That's right... But let's hope more info can be made available here for the stealth, as it was for atom (also not manufactured by HTC)...
Thanks folks!
is it possible that you can extract the answering machine software on O2 Stealth for us?

how do you find the stealth?? a good device.. can you give more details please...
Definitely much more stable than its siblings (atom and exec) as I had made some comparison with my friend's unit. So far so good as I have not enounter serious problems with it except that the number pad is a bit too soft. When dialing a number or messaging using T9, you will definitely miss a letter or number.
Another thing is on the communication manager. If you turn on and off bluetooth or wireless LAN too often, it will slow down the overall performance. other than these two, no further complains. I believe o2 will release a rom upgrade soon to rectify these little bugs here and there.
Hello i'm newbie. I have problem with O2 stealth...
1. How to use slide keypad without T9 menu
2. Why performance O2 stealth worst than O2 Atom (not exec)
3. Do anyone have upgrade rom for O2 Stealth....
Thanks...
I need XDA Stealth ROM update. Can you tell me where I can download it? I tried to download from O2 web but it says no soft update needed but i need to reflash my phone, thanks

Wait, what is the name of this forum site? xda-developers, not HTC developers. It should be supported on this site.

Flar said:
Our portal page has the following welcome message:
Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a secretive firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.
Since we develop software for it, we need information, and nobody seemed eager or ready to give us what we needed. So we 'reverse-engineered' the devices, found a lot of information, and shared it with the world. But as our site grew we realised that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from a lack of support. They started using the xda-developers forum to communicate and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developer forum.
We hope that you will enjoy this site and find it as useful as we do. We encourage you to donate or otherwise support this site. Of course absolutely all proceeds from donations will benefit this community.
If you look closely you will also see that not all phones made by HTC have a place on this forum simply because there isn't room to give every phone a forum.
Best regards,

Memory Help !!
Hey people .. My stealth is perfectly for each n everything. I am just facing one problem. My Main Memory is continuously reducing. It reduces by like .2mb in every 5 minutes. I have no idea y this is happening. Can anyone telme how to stop this ?? u can also reply on [email protected]
praneet0007,
I think maybe there is a software causing you the problem. My Stealth got no problem like yours. Maybe you can do a hard reset and install the software one by one to find out which one is causing you the problem.
P/S My first post is replied to your first post. LOL
thnx
hey thnx anyways .. i gave the fone a restart .. now its not goin down continously .. most of d stays at the same storage .. howeva sumtimes it reduces by .1 or .2mb ... but i dont wanna hard reset it coz of 2 tings ... i dont wanna lose my contacts n msgs .. contacts i wont if i do by outlook n stuff .. but i dont wanna install outlook on my comp .. n without that rite now .. i cannot bakup my contacts .. n msgs i nyways cannot .... the 2nd ting is .. im not able 2 register my fone on the web yet .. it says 'ur IMEI is available 7 days after ur purchase' .. its already bin 11 days now .. ill contact o2 mumbai on fone 4 this issue in a cuple of days .. thnx 4 ur help anyways ..
Problem
I have a problem with my new device, O2 XDA Stealth Pocket Pc. It was working just fine for 4 days now, but today for some unknown reason the java program has been lost. I cant find it anywhere. Can anyone help me pls?
praneet0007,
The main memory you mention above is the RAM or ROM? If RAM, that's normal. If ROM, it can be many reason, example like you use the pocket ie to online, the cache, history, etc can reduce the memory.
I didn't use Outlook either, I used Jeyo Mobile Companion to backup all my contact and messages. Or you can use the backup application that comes with the handset.
For the register stuff, not really sure what's wrong, you better check with O2 for that.
pploutarchou,
Accidently deleted or it just disappear like that? Try looking in the program files see whether it still there or not.
ching4ever
I dont remember deleting it myself neither i find it in the program files. Either way i dont know how i can delete it from the program files. Is there anywhere i can download it again?

hello everyone

a newbies hello
i just bot a motorola mpx200 off ebay for $20
it unlocked. cant wait to play with it newtoy newtoy
this is my first smartfone. i was doing some google searches and came across this site. looking for wm2003 i guess right off the bat. so far have read that wm5 run kinda slow. since smartfones are new for me i figure wm2003 should be fine for me to tinker around with.
didnt see wm2003 on the ftp.
Welcome to the site.
Although we have sub forums for some smartphones here, MPX200 is not one of them. I suggest you also check out www.spv-developers.com as well (if you haven't already).
As for the ROMs we can no longer keep any on the FTP. M$ came down hard and made the admins remove them.
Try rapidshare and the likes, but make sure you have a good virus scanner.
Most important make sure you know 110% what you are doing before changing the ROM or you will be looking for a new deal on a phone!

New Update By Htc

i think is time to downgrate to wm 6 ...........
yes 6 not 6.1 with all these issues and bugs and problems....

Things that might improove
Hey,
The ROMs here are actually quite good but even if the ROM from HTC (the new one) does not compare with the ones made by XDA gurus they did some nice stuff...for example clearing the storage automatically after flash (no hard reset??) and the radio looks to be quite good it has all the countries in EUR now and the auto network configuration actually works...and there is no bluetooth activated right after flash...
Maybe some of these good things can be implemented in the new custom ROMs also...
More than blaming HTC for its ****-ROMs , we should contact the people who is working on port the Diamond drivers.
i think that zaharakis says what we all feel
htc tricked us
i can play videos and emulate gba games fluently at mt 3 years old ipaq 2490
while i cannot even turn the screen instantly to the stupid kaiser
and think how it would be if we didn't have the chefs

Posts like this are nothing but the reflection of all the frustrated HTC users like me and if and only if people from HTC get to see this kind of bad publicity who knows, maybe they change their stupid policies...

I wished the same thing until I realized that here in this forum we only represent negligible fraction of what could make an impact at all for their revenues.
hi guys,
i used the kaiser since few month with the org. german vodafone rom 1.58.... and all thinks work fine except voip with the rear speaker problem, and no drivers .. we all know.
Yesterday I use the new official german rom and this works so bad for me ... same speed, problems with the touchscreen, BT headset works but kaiser works slow with BT on.
Before I throw the Kaiser off the window :-/ I wait for a community rom with diamond drivers and give the people here a detonation for that. No more money to HTC from me.

Why don't we all let HTC know this... Mail them, all of you, it's costing them money and time to reply to those mails.
Still didn't get a driver, which they promised us and a crappy performance when it comes to graphics... So don't frustrate the people over here with your shortcomings, but irritate the HTC staff .
That's just my point of view...
(For example: create an example mail (like the one on htcclassaction (or so) and mail it all to this crappy company)
Cooked wm6.1 ROM > *anything

your point is good my friend ..but you think they don't allready know it??
i don't believe that no one in htc didn't try first this update,before releasing it in public
so they just yellow us for another one time
Sorry..Why u r angry?...also all the coocked 6.1 ROMs are sucks...i tried theme all ( full of bugs ) and dont let u even use the device the way u like...
am using the HTC offecial ROM i ( WM 6 ) all the needed program are running very good ( Arabiser for the arabic users like me although this arabizing softwares did is not the offecial for HTC, windows live working,Skyps workin, camer i dont use so musch but the pic's i took are very good,GPS working ( using sygc7...so what else you dream off ????????? the only this that make me try the 6.1 is the sound of my Gabra 8040 voice is not that loud i need ( i live in a noisy country)...and just we all should know that this is a PPC not a PC u ca not just load it with tons of programs
the only thing i think HTC should do is to use MVC insted of the buil in program althought that program runs very good but we all like the MVC
I remember when!
Remember when they "HTC" announced the Kaiser II , the promo how cool it looked. We all couldn't wait, built in GPS smaller design "not as thick" I fell for the hype. Now what are they pushing the "DIAMOND" wow lets all sell our Tilt's and Kaisers II on eBay and go out and buy a Diamond. but wait what is the Diamond missing what are it's short falls. Do we all trust HTC since they have been so honest with us up to now, it seems that everyone is tring to make a Iphone look alike. If you want an Iphone buy one. it's cheeper then a Kaiser II and you can get 2 for the price of a Diamond. I like my Tilt and I am going to keep it. but I don't like HTC and I would be willing to contribute to any legle suite or team that can go after HTC and hold them accountable. They may reside in a foreign country but I live in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and we know how to screw someone in court. Land of the Free and home of the Class action suite! I am extremely happy to belong to this XDA community, I feel like this is a big extended family and we have family members all over the world. We have all been waiting long enough and apparently in vein, for HTC to release video drivers. I believe they never had any intention of correcting these problems. Oh and one more thing I never used a Windows machine at home until I got my first HTC device Samsung SX66, then 8525 now the Tilt. I am a die hard Mac user have always been. but in the world of PDA's Windows is King! I can't get what I need out of an Iphone and looks like I am not going to get what I expect from HTC. Shame on you HTC you took a customer that bought a new device each and every year and drove me to this. maybe your next years P&L will open your eye's.
Ed...
I'm sorry, but how exactly does moaning about a multi-milion dollar company on a developer forum do any good?
I'm sure the folks at HTC are reading all this on a daily basis, and take pity on your plight, and will be releasing a driver asap to make us all happy.
The kaiser does what it's supposed to - it's a business centric device and as for the multimedia part, it might not be a monster, but it does do the job relatively well.
Face it, HTC doesn't care about a 7 month old device, neither do they care about you. Try and think about it from their point of view - Releasing a brand new device boasting of 3D capabilities is MUCH better for sales than worrying about implementing it on an already released crippled one.
With that said, I hope this will be the last of such threads and the ROM development forum is no place for this sort of rant anyway.
So... after thinking it for a long time I have gone back to the original WM 6.0 ROM.
- Official WM 6.1 update by HTC: No text in landscape mode, programs crashing, skype does not work
- Cooked ROMs based on this: same problems with landscape
- Cooked ROMs with 1.65 radio: do not work well with my router, slow GPS fix
- Other cooked ROMs: display problems, have many programs I have no use for or I have to install others that came as standard (this leads to little storage free at the end). Skype does not work on most cases.
- Original ROM: Big free storage, GPS works fast, WiFi works, Skype works, all programs work, no crashes.
So, by updating what the hell do I gain?
My other choice would be WM 6.1 3.02 ROM, I've been using it for weeks, but hell, in the original ROM skype works.

It helps if we don't buy into their next product. Multi-million dollar companies are made buy consumers. If you take away the consumer then you don't have a multi-million dollar company.
why dont we all put our kaisers in a big bag and then take this bag in a helicopter and release over HTC Corp. (with some TNT, or some Hydrogen in Fusion) and Bang !

toshiba

is it possible to add a new group of phones on index? i would really like to see toshiba phones such as g810 there...
thanks!
This is an HTC Forum.. you could use "Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking" ROOM in "General Discussion": a lot of people do that
D'rath
Although I probably won't own a Toshiba, I also think that it would be a good idea to add devices to this forum such as the G01. This is the best windows mobile site, and I think that there are people out there willing to develop and start a community around the new Toshiba phones. They all just need a place to stay
HTC only
As stated several times before...
This is an HTC devices only forum and no section will be added for any non HTC device, this is the point of view of the owners of the site wich I support.
"htc only" heh... Just not true dude!!! Browse the forum!!!

I absolutely agree!!! Plus on that list are non HTC phones like HP iPaqs and SE Xperia... So why not just add ASUS and Toshiba? Simple as that! It would contribute a lot, cause searching for non listed phones is just messy right now!!!
Anyway to prevent further ranting, these were my two cents... Over and out...
Cheers
they're not branded by HTC but manufactured by HTC
it's been discussed long and many times ago, Browse the forum!!!
Cheese and Cheers
