Samsung has yet released another firmware for Omnia, now its the i900DZIA5.
I have not seen another manufacturer being so aggressive in the firmware updates. Yeah, I know others are releasing new firmware pretty quickly, but those are just bugs fixed. This is a different scenario for Samsung as each release does make some major changes or even new applications added!
8 months on and the phone is still going strong. :D
##WARNING! This firmware clears the storage space (the 8/16gb memory)! ##
Here's a quick look at the new firmware,
Storage
Total: 91.87 MB
In Use: 39.91 MB
Free: 52.05 MB
Program
Total: 96.55 MB
In Use: 43.91 MB
Free: 52.64 MB
- New settings for enhanced GPS.
You could now opt to update when omnia is connected to PC via ActiveSync - Phonebook now has a finger friendly scrolling bar, the alphabet list has been removed.
- New finger friendly volume control
- Favourite Settings, a finger friendly application that access some of the settings
- Share pix, similar to shozu, for you to upload your images, videos. But this time round it is uploading directly to the site you want.
- Asphalt: Elite Racing 4 Ver 1.2.0!!
- Omnia Online widgets, now you can download more widgets. but the old widgets are gone
- Opera 9.5 build 15746
The 'My Storage' has been cleared and some stuffs are included here
- The asphalt game is installed here (so is the cab file)
- 2 music files, TheOMNIA and BeyongSamsung
- Kung Fu Panda trailer
- Transformers trailer
- Omnia video tutorial
- Omnia launch video (Introduction and Episodes)

hihi, I have some qns and really need ur help.. really appreciate it..
the stylus: i find it hard to move ard using my finger, and the stylus is so in the way! any solution? what did u guys do? use ur finer only without stylus? hang the stylus by the side?
battery indication: when i click on battery, my battery remainiing is always 100%! something is wrong with this...
Memory: the storage memory is only 91mb and the program mem is only 96mb.. MY HTC touch got 145 and 106mb which is more than Onnia? anyway to increase this?
thnx thnx!
Personally, i'm using my finger for the navigation, and not carrying the stylus with me. You could try this registry to improve the screen senstivity

Omnia's battery indicator could only report level in terms of tens, that might be one reason why you are not seeing other values. Another possibility is that you have installed certain incompatible battery application, try uninstalling them.
Omnia comes bundled with alot of free applications, there's good and bad. Good thing is these apps are touch friendly and free. Bad thing is that they take up space. Only way to increase storage is to use cooked firmware, instead of official firmware. These cooked firmware usually removes much of the samsung applications.

thns alot!
i have a few more qns...
the batt display prog is there when i got the phone, b4 i install progs... dunno why leh..
bcos i dun hav stylus, how do i do a soft reset easily? can make a shortcut? and out at prog or a folder?
thnx!
have you tried hard reset before? cos mine doesnt have this problem. what version of firmware are you using?
You could google for psShutXP for soft reset of your phone. Soft reset is similar to powering down and up the phone.
regards
i hard resetted once.. but now installed too many stuff liao..
anyway, i installed the psShutXP. thnx!thnx!
