we think thats a phone/you tube thing. its fine through wifi with other streaming sites :S

Yeah mines the same with version i900XXhh7/bohh5

Yeah I'm using Exchange push for emails so its killing the batery

Can I set limit on it so it doesnt connect after 5pm Mon-Friday?

If there is I haven't found it

Hmm another odd one - If I turn my phone part off and back on the date and time reset? Is it picking up some NTP from somewhere off T-Mobile?

Its fine if I turn Wifi/BT on and off?

 

["andy"]

mine doesnt do that. am on hh1/hh1 or something

 

[Dangerous]

I've got it through work so I'll speak to our T-Mobile account manager and they'll probably just swap it out.

Whats the battery life like? Mine seems to be rubbish only a day withiout needing a charge?

Also the date/time seems to be resetting as well?

Dangerous - This will change once you've been through a few charge cycles. Once you've had been through about 8-10 that battery becomes rock solid. I can get 2 1/2 days out of my omnia now

Are you using MS Exchange for Push emails though?

 

[daveydave]

Any good websites for apps or mods? a few have been banded about...but i cant seem to see them

 

[daveydave]

On and off, but with solid use you should still be getting over a day

Maybe the battery will get better but I expect to send it back to T-Mobile for this Time/Date fault.

If the soft reset the PDA or turn off the phone the time and reset back to Wed 2nd Jan 2008

 

[daveydave]

strange that....sounds silly, but have checked there are no errors in the time/date setup via WM and not the phones own setup.

If that makes sense

 

[Dangerous]

Nope

 

[daveydave]

haha, right what I mean is you can access the clocks via the phones' touchwiz menu and that you can also do it by going into settings; settings being the view which looks like windows mobile as oppose to a phone.

 

[Dangerous]

Yeah I'm changing it via the settings menu - If I soft reset it it will change it in there. The phone seems to be causing it though.

 

[daveydave]

right change the time via the phone instead of the way you're doing it. Also are the regional settings correct?

 

[Dangerous]

Yup but that wouldnt really matter its going from Sept 2008 to Jan 2008

 

[daveydave]

hmmm, I think a hard reset is your last resort before handing it back to T-mobile...

Did another hard reset and seems to fixed it!

Ah har if you go into active sync on the PDA there is Peak and Off Peak times - You set the off peak to connect manually.

A tip of the cap sir! Can you guide me to that option, I went into ActiveSync but I couldn't find it.

What I'd really love is for it to only connect to Exchange/other accounts when an active wireless connection is available, so that it'd poll every 10 minutes when there is a connection and not poll if there isn't.
