Email will easily eat up all your memory on your device memory if you keep a lot of it on your device without deleting it. Attachments can be stored on the Storage Card but no the email. You will find that you will run out of device memory sooner or later as your emails accumulate in your inbox or folders. Some users have found a way to overcome it but it may not work for some users. 

You need a Registry Editor like Resco or the free PHM Registry Editor.

Goto HLCM->system->Inbox->Settings 

Click values
menu->new value->string

You are going to create 2 new values here the first is

value name PropertyPath
value Data \Storage Card\Mail

the second will be

value name AttachPath
value data \Storage Card\Mail\Attachments

reset you phone and you should only have the Mail folder along with the attachments folder in mail folder on your storage card

NOTE some say it may create a storage card 2 folder and some issues that we have NOT yet encounter. I guess there is no harm for you to try it out to see whether it works for you.

Many users wanted to change their Omnia Network Settings from 3G to 2G. The main purpose is to save more battery as 3G Network will drain more battery than the 2G Network. Some still prefer to have 3G Network as surfing speed is faster but are for users who have data plan.

Change 3G to 2G Network
Go to Settings - Phone - More Tab - Band Selection - Get settings
Change from Auto to GSM 900/1800.

Remarks
Please take note that using a 2G Network doesn't mean your GPRS is disable. It is still active and you will need a third party program like "NODATA" to disable the GPRS.

How to Flash Omnia to DZIA5 on VISTA Here, the steps to take.

  1. Download official Firmware from Samsung by clicking here and choose Singapore for DZIA5 ROM.

  2. Download a hex program such as ‘HxDen’.
    3. http://www.pspmyspace.com/omnia/files/HxDen.zip

  3. Enter *#638738#. Select Singapore and then click okay. Make sure you back up BEFORE, because it will FORMAT EVERYTHING!

  4. Edit your registry, HKCU\ControlPanel\Version\CustomVersion to DZHJ1.

  5. Now open the Hex program. Open i900DZIA5_updater_vista.exe. Search for i900DZ form the bottom up. Change the result to the first two letters to your phones version. NOT Firmware. So it becomes probably i900XX. Close Hex program.

  6. Now connect your phone to the PC and wait for it to be connected to Windows Mobile Centre. Then run the update file you ‘hexed’.

  7. Make sure you have sufficient battery. If the phone and update seem not to begin in 3minutes, reset the phone with your stylus and the update should go normaly.

  8. Please take care when flashing. IT IS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY (GOOD OR BAD) TO WHATEVER HAPPENS DURING THE FLASHING PROCESS!

This method was successful try out by one of my subscriber on his Windows Vista System. We will not be held responsible if anything goes wrong with the firmware upgrade. Upgrading firmware using Windows XP is more stable than the Windows Vista.

After Hard Reset of the Omnia, some users were unable to get pass the alignment screen and end up in a loop. It kept asking the users for the screen alignment.

Let's us give u a simple solution to work out of the screen alignment trap and work for most users. Press and hold the + sign and it will move to another location. Perform the same thing by pressing and hold the + sign and continue until screen alignment is complete. It is best to use a stylus to perform this job although your finger can also perform the same thing.

Another method is go to notepad and create a file called welcome.not and save it to the removable memory card. Put the removable memory card back to your Omnia and ON it. You will get past the screen alignment trap and Omnia will start up.

There is a bug in the calibration software and the only way to get around it is by modifying the registry editor. This only work if you are able to load the software is just performing screen alignment for better performance. 

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->HARDWARE->DEVICEMAP->TOUCH.
Change the key value for MaxCalError from 7 to a bigger value (for example 14). Do a soft reset and start a manual re-Align of the screen.
