Yes there is a .cab you can install to get rid of that sms style, google nonthreaded sms or add me to msn and ill send it you.

It just a registry tweak on the diamond.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Setting s\OEM]
"SMSInboxThreadingDisabled"=dword:1

I cannot guarantee if this will work on the Omnia, or if the option even exists, dont hold me responsible if anything goes wrong but feel free to try it.

"andy" · 11 Sep 2008 at 22:56

its the same on the omnia but its much easier to just install that .cab that does it all for you in a few seconds

There should be one , they all come with one I thought?

Its a handsfree where with a 3.5mm jack so you can also use your own headphones

Do you mean the one the radio receiver is on? Thats the only lead i have

Tomtom 7 working fine here.

Took these with Omnia of my new puppy, quite happy with the quality from outside snaps.

What settings have you used to get TT working?

Camalot · 12 Sep 2008 at 20:34

I used gpsgate to get it working.

Dangerous · 12 Sep 2008 at 20:37

You have to buy gpsgate?

i was wondering why i cant find any sats...

Camalot · 12 Sep 2008 at 21:11

Hmm seems gpsgate is a 14day trial. I can't seem to get it working without gpsgate

Heck GPSGate is expensive, i aint buying that! I hope someone can get it working without the need for GPS gate

"andy" · 12 Sep 2008 at 21:16

my gps works fine with google maps but that no good for navigating really... plus the streaming of the maps will eventually ruin the fair usage limit

Hey guys,

Since setting up email on phone, my Omnia tries to connect to the internet at regular intervals? I checked it last night to find that I had been connected for over an hour without knowing... This morning, when I switched it on it immediately tried to connect?

I've turned of 3G manually and I've set my phone to only receive my mail manually, which I assume requires me to manually connect to the internet

Any ideas?

Cheers,

SW.

Has anyone had any more thoughts about this? I had another 1hr connection going today when I got back to my phone and it still tries to connect every time I switch on

Seems to have only started when I started using email on my Omnia :rolleyes:

it is maybe connecting to get the email and then not disconnecting. i dont think it does automatically ?

dont think it will cost you anything though because you only pay for downloading data. i hope not anyway because i noticed mine had been connected for 4 hours earlier

I've now wasted a fortune on 3 martin fields screen protectors. What a load of rubbish.

There are no tabs to hold the protectors so it's nigh on impossible to not touch the edges of the protector. Then the edges of the protector shed particles that get trapped under the protector. Then the whole thing is cut slightly wrong so it doesn't quite match the shape of the screen and makes it look like you've just put sticky back plastic over the phone.

A waste of time and money.
