Is WMWIFi router free or do you have to purchase it ?

It was developed by a user on xda-developers "Chainfire" after the discovery was made by Fluxist with a registry hack.
It used to be free way back when it was first made, so earlier versions should be free. He decided later on to make some profit out of it.

Hi everyone,

I was hoping somebody would be able to assist me,
Ever since updating my phone to the JCIC1 firmware, it no longer vibrates while ringing, when set to vibrate and ring, it only vibrates when set to vibrate only.

Anybody else experiencing this?

I have a mate that works for VPS (vehicle protection film ) and he gave me a sample of the product that they stick onto your bumper/front of car , and it really works well .

or just buy a generic cheapy (cut yourself) from a vodashop.

Hi Guys

any help pleasssssssssssse

No idea man, you'll probably have to phone them and find out. I take out additional insurance from autopage on top if my contract which covers theft and water damage.

I highly doubt any company would repair/replace a part as a result of general wear and tear.

Is there speakerphone functionality on this phone?

Is there speakerphone functionality on this phone?

When u receive or make calls, there is an option to put speakerphone on. Top left icon is "Speaker On" is for speakerphone. This option will only disappear if u choose "Keypad", in which case u can still toggle speakerphone from the 'Menu'.

Want to get more "oomph" out of your Omnia? Get XCPUscalar - nifty little utility that lets you adjust the clock speed of your Omnia's CPU, and if you buy it, you can set it to auto-adjust, which works like a frikkin' charm.

It's literally like a whole new phone.

The Omnia's processor is apparently 624Mhz, but it doesn't seem to use all of it. In the shareware version of XCPUscalar, you can set it to 500MHz... Just try access your photo slides or your GPS, that'll be proof enough of the difference.

This is possibly the best utility for the Omnia I've stumbled on yet. Other than the no-threaded texts one

Interesting, will look into it.

What sort of effect does this have on the battery?

It doesn't seem to make any significant impact, so I'm hardly going to complain.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that it's v3.03

When will we get a WM6.5 official ROM?

 

[feo]

Hey guys

Just started using my Omnia this weekend and enjoying the Youtube and FB apps so far. Trying to upgrade to the JCIC1 firmware but I'm having problems.

The updater app keeps telling me "Incorrect software version". I followed zanderza's tutorial (post number 400 and something) but it gives that error.

Help?

That is the question...
