The Samsung OmniaHD i8910 ... this NEEDS it's own thread.

Sorted ?

Nope, I've added it to the phone (both mass memory and the phone memory) and it can't find it using smart search. Weird.

1. copy it to the "mass memory" drive via USB
2. goto your phone and run the "file manager" found in quickoffice by default
3. browse the "mass memory" drive and scroll to the bottom
4. the file u copied should be there.. dbl tap it and install

hope that works for u

I'll try that, thanks.

Edit: Not working either.

Edit 2: Hey, what would you know... the classic off and on again fixed it

Dont use smart search, just use file manager, its what i did.

the Ovi Store is partially working and im glad to say that several apps seem to work on the phone. I've downloaded a few on the phone and installed them on the go... some may be locked out to nokia phones only though

i think it will be only when you have unlocked your phone

 

[Morthoseth]

Are there any decent cases or protectors for this yet? I really don't want to damage it!

I've found DOOM the game made for the nokia 5800(should work with the i8910) with full touch controls.
Anyone want the download page for it?

So is this only an update for unbranded?

 

[gcz]

so what exactly does the update do?

 

[Omneya]

I'll wait till samsung actually releases a useful update. Not really into unsupported gadgets. Especially with all the recent ones getting released full of bugs and never updated. I really learned my lesson after rushing into getting the crappy xperia X1, never buying a sony ericcson again nor a win mo phone.

Did you manage to find out what the update did to your phone?

Has anyone found a better deal than what is on the mobiles.co.uk site which is 1200 mins Any Network Anytime + Unlimited Texts + 500MB Data for £30 and £9.99 for the phone? I need the data allowance but def dont need the minutes. Or would it work out better to buy unlocked and use an o2 simplicity sim? Cheers.

I've just bought the same deal, not sure the 500mb is actually included, So I'll wait till i get it and then kick off if its not included, distance selling act + false advertising.

 

[scoopex]

It coming soon.

 

[Morthoseth]

All of a sudden my phone has stopped being detected by windows when connected via USB, oh joy.

The battery life on this phone is amazing! Been browsing the net, playing games all day at work (lol) and watching a HD movie at the mo (bout half way through and its still going.... Also had a 5 min convo and sent several texts....

It seems to go down to 1 or 2 bars fairly quick then stay there forever lol!
