Some New Omnia 2 Videos

Another great video by Silencer22, this time it is about the new touchwiz interface. It is good enough except for the loading of widgets and message box.

My New HTC HERO BLOG

I decided to create a new blog for HTC HERO instead of just putting it here as an extra article.

You visit my new HTC HERO blog here:
HTC HERO BLOG

The Samsung Omnia II Blog will now focus on Omnia II alone.

Some Bugs/Problems with Omnia 2


Reading some post in PPCSG Forum, I saw a list of problem of the new Omnia 2. Note that some of the problem here are already solved (for some they think it is already "solved") you can read it here.

Here is the list: (quoted from ekin101 and koh)
1) Automatic backlight sensor too sensitive. Noticeable when i was reading my ebook. Had to disable now as it's not as useful compared to omnia 1.
2) Faulty Samsung calender notes
3) Give us good samsung threaded SMS. Hopefully can see something like tf3d type. Don't like Microsoft default threaded sms.
4) Remove sms sent notification. (they said it is annoying)
5) Optimize speed for touchwiz2.0.. the widgets loads too slowly.
6) Make use of cube light for notification such as missed calls and sms unread? Cube again?
7) Anyway to notify us that the battery is fully charged beside looking at the screen?
8) SMS landscape mode changes too slowly.
9) Aleast WM office should have landscape mode. Or better, allow us to choose which software can auto rotate.
10) LED torch? where is it?
11) heard there is a compass function like iphone? (but no app)
12) Allows widgets to load third party software if users wants. like calender load pocket informant, or sms loads SMSchat.
13) Cannot edit contact information using the default windows mobiles contact. Changes will not be saved. Can only use phone book by Samsung.
14) Name search is too slow using the Samsung Phonebook.
15) Issues with bluetooth stability when connected up to the Garmin Nuvi 765. Causes the Nuvi 765 to "hang"

*
I heard that Touchwiz 2.0 make the phone slow especially the SMS (Not really slow but slower compare it when you disable the touchwiz interface). Hopefully Samsung will fix this problems in the near future.
