The device.exe error may pop up after u restart or switch on the phone for some users. This generally occurs after flashing a new ROM. Nothing is happening to the phone as it still functions. It is a pop up to inform you of the error.

Device.exe Error
This error has something associated with your SIM Card Slot. Once this error pops out, your phone function is most likely to be off. It will try to search for your SIM Card and enable the Phone Function again. If your phone functions keeps going off, you are going to get many this type of errors throughout the day. The first thing to check is that your SIM Card is OK or change another SIM Card to check whether the error still pops out.

If you have this error after flashing a new ROM, pls try to hard reset the Phone.
Go to Settings>System>Hard Reset>Clear Memory

A good tip to avoid errors after flashing is to hard reset before and after a flash.

Most of you should have heard the news that Skype is no longer supporting Window Mobile Phones. The download link to install Skype on your WM Phone has been removed from the Skype website. However if you have install Skype and Skype Lite on your Window Mobile Phone, you can continue to use it throughout 2010.

Skype is now on the lucrative iPhone Market and the Symbian Market. I guess Skype pull out of the Window Mobile Market as the WM Software sometimes will hang the Skype Application on WM Phone.

Extract From Skype FAQ

Why can’t I download Skype Lite or Skype for Windows® phones?

Unfortunately, Skype Lite – a version of Skype for your mobile phone – and Skype for Windows phones are no longer available for download from our site.

We’ve chosen to withdraw Skype Lite and Skype for Windows phones because we want to offer our new customers an improved mobile experience – much like the version that has proved so popular on the iPhone, and which is now available on Symbian phones. Our focus is on providing a rich user experience that allows you to enjoy free Skype-to-Skype and low cost calls as easily on the move as you do at your desktop.

 We felt that Skype Lite and Skype for Windows phones were not offering the best possible Skype experience.

Can I still use Skype Lite if I already have it?
Yes. People who have already installed Skype Lite can continue to use it throughout 2010. 

Can I still use Skype for Windows phones if I already have it?
Yes. People who have already installed Skype for Windows phones can of course continue to use it.

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.
