Top 10 Samsung SGH-i900 Omnia Unlocked Cellular Phone Questions & Answers

Hi it all depends on the Navigation software you are using. If you want to use googlemaps hen it should work as it is out of the box. The same goes for Route66. For Tomtom you will need another program like GPSgate that deals with the satellite locks (Tomtom does not properly deal with the Omnias internal GPS)

The is much discussion and information here:-

http://www.modaco.com/content/i900-omnia-http-omnia-modaco-com/272535/omnia-gps/

but check the other posts in the forum as there is alot of info on GPS use here.

There is no way to connect i900 omnia with pcstudio. Pcstudio works with classic phones but Omnia is a Windows Mobile Phone, so you have to use Active Sync. Bye

I found this fix on another website. After numerous calls to verizon-they had no clue-and hours of trying to figure things out I found and tried this fix and it worked!

"I have a Samsung Omnia on VZW network. I was getting the "Memory Critically Low" error too. So, I opened File Explorer and did some searching for files that could be removed etc. I found an entire cache of files here: My Device: Program Files: VZAppZone:Temp:Temp

I deleted these files using a mass delete: Menu:Edit:Select All: Menu:Delete With no ill effects as of yet.

I spent the better part of an hour testing every application on the phone, opening contacts, etc. I haven't noticed anything wrong.

Doing this freed up almost 35mb of storage!!!!! "

I had the same results. This finally solved my mem problems-no more pop up critical me low box!! It freed up over 1/2 the avail memory.

Another tip is to clear out your browsers cache files

1 : Download & install latest version ActivSync 4.5 for XP ActiveSync 4.5
2 : Download samsung omnia os ZHHH2Z < full update Hong Kong English tested by me

3: Press the 'dial' key to the left of the optical pad to bring up the dialer
With the onscreen keypad input *#1546792*#
Select 'Preconfiguration'
Enter code *#81230*# and select OK
Select 'Hong Kong', with the default Operator
Accept this, DEVICE WILL HARD RESET<(credit goes to modaco forum Paul for this tips)

4 : open i908ZHHH2_ENG from download folder

5 : Turn off the omnia

6 : connect the omnia to a pc using the usb cable

7 : turn on the omnia

8 : click start button if the device found

9 : wait for job done massage

Im having the same problem and mine will not work at all!!!!!! Ive tried holding it down and everything I got this phone and i knew nothing about it , this happneed right out of the blew. I took it up to the place and they said that it had water damange and i just got the phone didnt have any problems or anything , So i returned the phone and got a new one and ive hadnt had any problems yet. i have also herd that getting a new screen on the phone helps but im not sure im older and i dont have experience with phones that much any ways.

Your best bet is to soft reset the device, uninstall ALL samsung software off you pc including drivers. then ensure the phone is in ActiveSync mode and then install all software from the disc or samsung.com site and then connect the phone.
