Yep, great but we bought this phone for a descend Camera Recording 720p at 24fps (annonced)

Just keep it up this fonction ! need update !!!

(sorry for my english)

Finally. What we all have been waiting for.

This is great news! and right before christmas i got this message!! (in germany we celebrate christmas eve just incase your wondering)

This is 100% from the petition….I have heard;-)

how about the audio codec in video recording.. have you tried to record during a rock concert the audio is unuseable.. This works in all nokia phones so it is a samsung limitation.. We need a better audio codec and auto mic sensitivity setting in video recordings.. do you hear samsung?

The 3D task manager is available in the updated Italian, Chinese, and [I believe] Russian firmware(s).

the official website doesn’t say anything about ” kentic scrolling over the whole phone’s OS” does anyone know it this is true?

I really hope so…

and so it should be updated considering that Nokia phones running Symbian S60 v5 have got a big update, with these things included! Does anyone know anything more about the app store?

Ahmed it’s official there is no fm tranmitter although you can attach an addon one.

I’m very glad that they’re fixing the slow loading time of the multimedia gallery thumbnails.
Kinetic scrolling.. I’m not sure what this means, but one thing which annoyed me was the scrolling speed in the contact list.

What is the Gameloft Support Update?
Games like on the iphone ?

waitin impatiently

I am A electrical salesperson,
samsung has got my hard earned money from me for the first and last time ….
how can they sell a product that doesnt meet the spec they advertise???
as far as this firmware update goes you all can be as sure as hell it wont address 10%
of the bugs and issues with their lousey product
i will spend a lot of time telling everone i talk to HOW BAD A PRODUCT SAMSUNG MAKES
AND OF THEIR USELESS CUSTOMER SUPPORT!!!!
SCUMBAGS

Come on………………. when will the firmware be released and if its an official release then will I have to flash back to the orange firmware for PC suite to recognise the phone and update it ?

For info pls refer to this link : file://localhost/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Me/My%20Documents/Samsung%20Omnia%20HD%20i8910%20Review%20@%20My-Symbian.com.mht

Mr. Mercado.
Whether or not other phones come close is irrelevant. Samsung have advertised this product as being HD and have priced it accordingly. If you bought a brand new car would you expect it to have only 3 wheels?
I am and have been a big Samsung fan for a long time now but I have to agree with a lot of people out there in that the failings of the i8910, (and the very limited support that Samsung provide) are making me re-think about what’s more important. Having what should be the best camera phone on the market but doesn’t seem to be, or having a fairly decent product that works as it should with the support behind it that if somthing DOES go wrong, the manufacturer will fix the problem straight away.
7 months is far too long to wait for an official firmware update, and from what I have read it will only fix a small percentage of the issues.
C’mon Samsung, get your act together!

Lets see what this update brings. I need a new phone, I would prefer the Samsung for the hardware beast inside, but if the software does not unleash its full potential, I will have to go for the iPhone 3GS.

I’ve had this phone since June 2009 & am not happy with it for all the same reasons as others. If this new update doesn’t rectify the basic bugs ie Orange GPS maps loading, screen locks & goes black quickly while trying to access the dialer. Then I shall request a change to the iphone from Orange. This phone sucks !!!

I hope it fixes a lot of issues

I hope they fix all these issues soon before I go back to N97, N900 or some HTC.
I almost bought Nexus One but ATT 3G wont work so postponed. I hate that Nexus don’t support ANY of 3g frequencies, not a single…crap.!

will this update be available in Romania too?I have the”HAT”firmware which sucks,HD video recording with AMR….I wanna change my firmware,shoul i use the Italian one??

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what the best type of soup is if you suffer from vertigo? Also, will this firmware work with my Samsung fridge?
Come on people, stop being lazy and look at the forums for some of the answers to your ridiculous questions?

HI

I TRY AGAIN UPDATE MY I8910HD BUT I GET ERROR: THE CONECTION BETWEEN PC AND PHONE WAS UPDATE…I DONT KNOW WHATS THAT MEAN AND CAN NOT UPDATE MY PHONE…SOMEBODY CAN HELP ME PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

No idea. I would expect it will be available to use with the symbian flashing tool like most of the other official firmwares.
I’ve never used the PC Suite updater as it’s useless. The Smbian flash tool (v1.5) works a charm and I’ve tried about every official firmware going. I’m now on custom firmware.
Just make sure you follow the tutorial on how to flash your phone and you’ll be fine.

I think the update may be coming.

Either im going crazy or we will have it soon.

Because i was installing update using pc studio (not the new one, just getting rid of orange firmware) however it froze then now trying to connect again it states server unavailable.

So i assume they may be doing work????

Finally, I moved from Nokia after many loyal years, as they did not respond to what customers wanted – So, I jump ship to Samsung, and while the phone is really good – the support and software let it down.

This could’ve been a benchmark phone for Samsung (N95 style), setting the bar and gaining many a customer – instead those that bought, have been disappointed that the potential for the phone has not been realised, and they will likely leave…………..and never return.

I’ll try the new firmware, when it is available (which will not be Jan, it’ll be Feb at the earliest – probably March!!!!!!!!) – shame really!!!!

Dusan,

Are you using windows 7?

If so you need to manually install drivers for your phone. Go into computer management right click on the device (it will show as unknown device) and click to install driver. Then direct the install to the root pc studio 7 folder in program files (x86) and this will then resolve the issue.

by the way, why does Samsung need to have the firmware update “gradually rolled out to other European markets, Southeast Asia, the Middle East Asia, Africa and rest of the world.” after UK?

In this electronically connected world, surely it can all be done simultaneously?

i’m not using windows 7 i got windowns xp media centre edition is os for laptop…so do u think that os is not goog for studoi 7 and cant update my phone? i realy want update but dont know how…i think try update on different pc with different os…that be help…? or if i go to samsung servis for mobile they will be do for me…and is free charge for that…
thank u

hi there..
i got problem with update my i8910hd..i try update my phone again just 15min. ago. and i still get same error THE CONNECTION BETWEEN PC AND PHONE WAS UPDATE. i dont know what i have to do…can somebody help me please…
thanks…

Does the PC Studio 7 software pick up the device before the update?

If not go into device managment and see if it shown as unknown device, if so then follow as i mentioned before even if you do not have windoes 7 to install the driver.

Not out yet i believe

Are there no good phones anymore? Every single phone I had felt like an upgrade, until I purchased a N95, this was worse than the Sony I had previously used…I then changed to a Pixon, but quitely returned it because it was rubbish…I got an i8910HD instead.

For some reason Orange completely broke the phone, so the first major improvement was switching to the Italian firmware. Then the next major improvement was to tun off the Samsung designed interface and use the default Symbian interface. Then further improvement was made by turning off all the motion sensors! After turning off the motion sensors the phone is finally better than my previous N95.

I wondered so many times why I frequently never heard calls…well apparently the motion sensor assumes that walking is the appropriate motion to turn off the sound…HOW DID THAT MAKE IT THROUGH TESTING? Then there is the tilt gallery, COMPLETELY USELESS! Only occasionally would I appreciate the rotate to switch the aspect of the photo, but without it is significantly easier to show people your photos with out them taking the phone from you only for the image to disappear and rotate then then they turn it to see the photo properly and cause the rotation to kick in again…much better just turned off!

I hope my next phone is an instant improvement…wonder what it will be.

I’m using XP pro but tried bbb’s suggestion. Didn’t work so I deleted & reinstall PC suite. The PC/Phone connection update message didn’t pop-up, but it took forever to check the existing software on the phone. I cancelled the process eventually. End result – no better…, no update!

Samsung needs to act quickly. My colleagues using the iphone 3GS are having a ball, no one seem to have any problem using it.

any news? when is it coming, its already Jan 2010.

notice the i8910 doesn’t pop up alerts for sms/mms received when in “locked” mode…. do you guys have this “problem”, too?

It’s out now!

it says that I cant connect to update server so they might be doing something! You updated then?

Which firmware can be updated? I8910_Generic_Italy_XXII1 ??

@ RAIL. You lie.

I had started to believe…

Is it going to be an update for every firmware or just for Italian version?

Pretty sure I heard 15th of Jan somewhare…

Here is a preview of the Upcoming Firmware Update for the Samsung i8910.
Everything is going to be alright

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS4_rMzJvXA

I can not believe this, I think us being f*cked over again…

Well I’ve just ran an update using the PC Studio software with my phone that had the last Italian firmware and now has the latest Italian firmware I8910XXII2. What’s the difference..? Nothing, no kinetic scrolling as seen in the Youtube videos etc just exactly the same as before. Now i have a boring task of reinstalling and reconfiguring all the software and info i took of before the installation. My advice don’t waste your time! Unless there is a code that switches on/off the kinetic scrolling we don’t know about, keep the firmware you currently have until they sort this firmware update malarkey out.

As powerful as this phones’ potential is, Samsung has done it no favours with the software of the interface. Multi-touch and the Kinetic scrolling issue are just a few of the things this phone should have had since day one. The music and video player are poor with few options considering what could be done. Simple things to make the aesthetics appealing like decent sized album art when tracks are playing, video size to fit screen options for either vertical or horizontal. Thumbnail refresh rate is a joke for images, and why does the gallery show picture files from outside the actual picture folder? It constantly displays elements form installed widgets or applications if they contain any form of Jpg or Bmp’s files. The only thing I want to see in the gallery are the photos taken with the camera and the pictures I’ve transferred over to the image folder, not the contents of other installation folders! And the instant messaging could look so much better, contact picture, speech-bubbles, rolling conversation displays like an Instant Messenger.

These simple things are what smart-phones today are expected to do standing on their heads! Samsung need to scrap the multi tasking on the i8910, totally revise how the system manages its memory and resources for each application and maybe hire a decent graphic designer and a few cool programmers with some vision. The phone should have been swimming in applications by now from third-party developers instead of dodgy port-over versions from the iphone! This phone is great, but it’s sorely under-utilized because of the potential not being realized!

Yeah I realized, but there’s all these third party developed firmware with Kinetic scrolling all parading over youtube etc and that’s my point. If they can do it for the handset then how’s it taken lord knows how many updates for Samsung to make a legitimate attempt?

If Samsung want to address the shortcomings of the i8910 interface then they need to listen to their customers even more purposeful than they have before. Granted they’ve at least done so and delivered constant updates in the past which is more than some manufacturers would have done. But there shouldn’t be a need for so many updates that still miss the mark, just list all the failings of the software, address them and then release one updated firmware to please your customers and make future releases attractive to other potential buyers and third party developers.

You know the one thing all my previous phones had and this one lacks which still bothers me? An constant alert/reminder for text msg and voicemail that haven’t been opened. How simple is that to program?

Is that the official release through the PC Studio update or the Beta-version that everyone’s been downloading for the last few days and complaining about? If it’s official then I’d be intrigued enough to flash my handset again with older UK firmware and update officially with this new one just to see for myself!

I like GTI8910XXIL5. I dont agree with bubu that GTI8910XXIL5 is slow.

I like this GTI8910XXIL5 too. It has Kinetic scrolling and stable + memory card support, not like that other beta released couple of weeks ago…At least I know I am up to date. Speedwise, it’s same or maybe just slightly faster, definitely not slow though…awaiting main release !!!

balabing

you can download from this forum @
http://forums.samsungi8910omnia.com/samsung-i8910-omnia-hd-firmware-discussion/2217-samsung-omnia-hd-i8910-firmwares-easy-download.html

The i8910 Omnia HD has just been announced as one of the top 6 mobile handsets at the Global Mobile Awards 2010. How is this possible with all the problems the device still has? If it was in there for potential then fair enough.
C’mon Samsung – wheres this official update? We’ve stuck by you, now you stick by us!!!!!

Because of the camera capabilities maybe?

Hmmm – Thought has crossed my mind too; weighing up to benefits of camera vs. day-to-day useage. Only just noticed this official update and really hope it’s worth the wait.

We can say : Samsung, ça me soule!

hi all. i was wondering that why are we complaining so much about the phone, why did some one buy omnia hd, the answer is straight, because of the following reasons, 1 hd recording ( not full hd but no phone till date has it) 2. gps navigation which is free of cost which iphone 3gs doesnt have. 3. the biggest amole screen ever when we bought it.(now i dont know if some phone has or not, but the screen resolution is very bright compare to my 2nd gen ipod which screen is as it of iphone. 4. third pary crack softwares games and many more. just wait for the best to come when samsung reales the firmware is their is so otherwise i am happy with my phone because i use it as a camcorder and dedicated gps unit for my car and i am quite happy with it and just waiting for the 32 gb mmc to upgrade the memory to 16+8 to 16+32 =a woping 48 gb which no phone till date has, enjoy what u have

I wish the update will also cover i8910 owners here in the Philippines. And also fix bug errors when attempting to shift messaging memory use in drive E. Coz its very annoying when you recieve an SMS and your phone says “the type of memory is not available” when indeed I have 16gb internal memory. Wish to i can return it to the seller. =(

Yeah cant agree more. So much should have been done for this phone prior to launch not player catch up like they are now.

samsung !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! was soll das?

This phone has great possibilities but the software they’ve installed for it is mediocre at best. All the complaining in the world isn’t going to make Samsung do the decent thing and completely revise a new GUI for it. I suspect we’ll be presented with more firmware updates in the future as we have been in the past but nothing that will give the phone the much needed make-over it so desperately requires.

When my contract expires, i’ll be looking into the new HTC HD2 or the Google Nexus One and maybe even the Microsoft Zune HD phone if it does materialise. Samsung will have to perform a miracle to keep me holding onto this mobile a minute after the contract is over!

Listen people I have an idea,as I have seen in the forums and elsewhere in the internet there are many people who are expert in this field of firmware ,software,hardware etc..
So why don’t someone gather them all and try to boot some other OS in this phone like android!
and to keep them motivated each one of us can donate some amount of money to them like 2 or 3 dollars(Nothing as compared to 800 dollars spent on mobile lol!!) .
OR
We could eat the head of Samsung by emailing them by going to your own country specific website and clicking Contact Us at the bottom of the page and clicking on email and sending them(just keep flooding them with millions of emails)
with all complains about less games,no multi-touch, etc etc … including all your personal problems..
and wait what happens..

OR
just sit at home and relax and think that what fking mobile I have bought and wasted my money on,and then wait to buy some other mobile(obviously not from Samsung) which may keep up to your needs.

About this “flashing mobile with cooked ROM” subject that I’ve read about in nearly ALL of the forums related with i8910, certainly it’s a temptress option, given the lack of official alternatives provided by Samsung. BUT, I don’t want to lose warranty! I bought i8910 one month ago… what if it has some hardware failure that hasn’t showed up yet, but maybe it does in one, seven or twelve months? Electronic devices can have a factory error and you don’t notice until the day when it crashes. What if I flash the mobile and, say, one morning in one month from now I found the mobile is off and it won’t start? It’s a shame that Samsung enforces their clients to lose their warranties due to the absolutely astonishing and embarrasing lack of support.

Greetings

One week to go apparently. Keeping up to date on this thread and hopefully we’ll find out soon!

You can always go back to official firmware using symbian tools .

No risk no Fun

???(?_?)???

Sure it is…Till you try and video call someone on that Ihpone of your…Or record a 720p video. Lol, enjoy your ipoohone

Agree with you.

Isa Saro I respect your opinion,but you can get all that similar features with any other s60v5 mobile phone(Leaving aside the incomplete 22-23fps Hd recording) ,
but wait a second-
ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz, and PowerVR SGX graphics all that is similar to new Iphone3GS
but the speed accordingly(in kinetic scrolling etc.) is even not comparable to ipod touch 1st generation….
but why?
How was Apple able make it up with the 1st generation ipod touch(even with slow processor and graphics) and even when it was released it already had kinetic scrolling!!!!!! why? did they have more brains?
And the answer is NO! the problem is that Samsung does not put much effort to it in terms of appearance(of OS),performance and public interest.
Apple just have their ears open for public.
As you mentioned that Samsung has the capacity to invent new things, I also agree with the fact that the quality of the hardware is very good(and it’s great) as compared to other mobiles but is the hardware just for decoration,
The astonishing fact is that Apple is so much into its products it recently released Grand Theft Auto(full 3d)
for Iphone and Ipod touch.
And my dear you should never expect GTA(in full 3d) in s60v5.
I have only one major complain with Samsung —why s60v5????????(It’s a good Os but not for Omnia HD)
It doesn’t even holds multitouch (but the hardware supports it) and the price of Omnia Hd is comparable to Apple Iphone3GS so it doesn’t mean that Samsung is trying to give less for less!!!!
So Samsung I am not saying that everything and anything(all the hard work) that you did for Omnia HD had gone into the dustbin,I am just saying that a little more effort in the right direction could do miracles!!
Samsung is building up a new Os named “bada”(which I think would be quite promising)and if they somehow implement this in Omnia Hd as soon as possible it would be great!!!!!!!!

is it out yet?

studio7 tells me no (uk user on custum firmware)

Official Samsung i8910 Omnia HD update on the way, end January 2011 or 2012.
Cause Samsung ´”THIS BIG COMPANY” They can not realise this updte in time. IS not so important if we are satisfies or not , we alredy buy IT !!!!!! Stupid Politik.
i will never buy samsung mobile again.
iphone is 1000 time better.

Nicely Said Ceejay. Must admit i agree with a lot of what you say, just wish samsung would treat us with a little more consideration. Noticed that they put out a new Studio version for the Omnia II yesterday. really starting to think that they are just stringing i8910 owners along. I think iys a nice phone but i think they made a mistake in their choice of OS. Dont know a lot about these things, but it would be great if they could somehow come up with a way to change the OS to Android or Windows. Like is say, dont know if its possible but it would help a lot and make the phone more marketable.

hey ceejay, gr8 say man, fully agree with you, we like to communicate with the whole world it self and not for any apple group

Allez Samsung!!! We want the update….Please

Also, where are all the promised apps?
582 apps registered in their app store and not a single one for the i8910.

..and your contract must be good..otherwise you would be paying a lot for this phone. But then a again, it is always refreshing to get moralized – especially by over paid dudes with good contracts..and free phones..

All you guys complaining out there … Kindly tell me what are your problems … ?

IF you want another OS on this set .. Sorry that aint gonna happen . Samsung is not stupid to do that . They are doing business not some free favors for people.

If you want FM transmitter then sorry to say Omnia HD is very poor in battery , Samsung always has been poor in that . Nokia is master in that , My N97 was only good at that thing, The problem is with its pathetic chargers . So FM transmitter is a total waste unless you have a car charger , plus quality of audio sucks on FM transmitter . It is a flop feature n resource hog.

IF you want kinetic scrolling then try some custom firmware . as i am using HXspeed 2.0 . It is quite stable even with Kastor Effects which are quite cool and there is no stability issue. (Had to hard format and then setup whole thing again )

As IPHONE vs Omnia thingy … Iphone sucks in display . Resolution is pathetic . AmoLED n resolution of Omnia is just too good . And the best feature about Omnia is it doesnt require you to convert .avi movies if you wanna watch it on OMNIA . Just copy and paste and you are all set. IPHONE sucks in that , Itunes doesnt convert .avi files and conversion is a time consuming process even if you use third party softwares.

Iphone doesnt multitask .. End of story . Are we living in stone age computing ??? Batch computer used to do that . One by One task .

£30 an month actually. Not bad. As for “over paid” My little brother who works in a supermarket can afford a £45 contract. Now do one you little twat.

I too like the phone, i think its got a lot of great points. But there are issues with it. I had to have one changed because callers couldnt hear me though i could them. This one goes through the battery twice as fast as the other one did, (others have this problem as well) so just because you have one that works fine, dont assume that other users dont have problems with theirs. As far as the firmware is concerned, i spoke on the phone to them a couple of wees ago, and was told they had the firmware update in hand but not the drivers to deliver it and didnt know how long it would take befor they did. Good planning eh.

Glad you got a free extra battery , I also have the same problem am not happy with the battery either but it doesnt bother me much as i charge it daily as the screen is big n capacitive and AMOLED is sharp , so battery is a big flaw in this set , mostly my set is on USB charging . This set is not for travelling for that Nokia 2300 is best works 7 days non stop.

Else wise i think the set is stable , One tip for you in order to increase battery life . Stop 3d effects…

I have gained 3 days from 1 day after i have put custom firmware in it.

I think there is only one person coming accross as a twat here…

The omnia HD is a very good phone, it just misses so many applications like iPhone or Nokia.

Here is what is missing for me :

Full applications like iPhone & Nokia
The cinetic scrolling for all the phone
Optimisations for the camera & sound record
….

And naturally, everybody is with the people of Haiti. But this website is for the Samsung Update, No for other matter.

i have just tried to update my omnia hd and it says that their server is out for mentenance,and that i shuld try again later. Could this mean that the new update its on his way?

tryed it again just now and the same message.” Update server not available,try to update later” what do you think?

there will be no firmware update .. stay happy guys

I knew those fuckers wouldn’t deliver.

Now I’m stuck with a phone that runs Symbian, but there arent any apps available from Ovi Store or Symbian Horizon store for this model, Crappy soundquality while recording video, has GPS but it does not function ever, has the crappiest mediamanager ever, no kinetic scrolling, the suckiest browser ever and to put the cherry on the pie, it’s got Samsung’s own certificates for Symbian apps. good luck with that.

All that is left is a crappy mediaplayer with a nice screen and a phonefunction. And that all for only 650 euro.
Never buy Samsung, ever.

Oh dear Kykez, Teddy’s gone right out of the pram hasn’t it, Calm down, you’ll burst a blood vessel. Still got 26h 50 mins of January left.

Samsung!

To be continued …

hahahaha … I am from a third world country yet i have what you dont have… patience and adaptability . Looser crying on a cell phone ….

n yeah i work for Samsung … ..

i have already done that , it is awesome . battery life is better camera is way better , it has kinetic scrolling . and more free ram n space on c drive …

Be advised that you might void your warranty, you see, if the phone stops working alltogether and you want to send it to Samsung, you need to flash it back first, and that is not possible in most cases when the phone breaks down. If not, Samsung won’t help you or when they do, they will charge you with a bill, bigger than Arslan Qamar’s annual income, which is about a hundred euro?
if you don’t care, go right ahead.

well arslan if you have the firmware update as you work for samsung why dont you sare it with us

yar mohsin mai lai ra hu uss khootay ki …samajh na … mai unn kai liyay kaam nai kerta … custom firmware daal lu , original wapis kerna isnt a big thing …. kahan sai hu aap ?

Keep dreaming you dumbass retard, if you could spend that kind of money you would buy yourselves 3/4 wifes (Or husbands?) a month in your retarded country and you would be too busy shagging them and making 3 billion kids for the wellfare check instead of typing dumbass messages here you cunt.

badia arslan…ye sala bada chutia admi hai…lol…tum kahan se ho?

We have also confirmed that Samsung’s Symbian Team were all transferred to Android R&D Team. So, whatever firmware updates you will get for i8910 will probably be the last one.

m from PK ……

February and still no fw… This beast has died pretty early and Samsung will lose quite a few customers. *Sigh* I’m off to get an iPhone 3GS.

It kicks ass of 3gs .. even with flaws (which i think they arent any ) … BTW m a happy user .. but SSSHhh ppl dont like me here

WTF… Where is the damn FW?

Is it running or coming?

First i read it comes in Jan, Then end of Feb and now i read it comes at start of march.
They want to make and see me Lazy i guess!

Hey Arslan, you’re right, its a great phone. Its not the phone i’m angry at, its Samsung and the way they are treating their customers. Its like we don’t matter to them. This phone has everything i like in a phone, but no support from the makers. Its such a shame, I don’t think there is another phone in its league on the market. Shame they cant just change the OS to Android or something. I’d even be willing to pay if it weren’t an arm and a leg ha ha.

Just got this from Samsung, Now they seem to be saying there never was any update!

Thank you for contacting Samsung Electronics UK regarding your i8910HD and the recent issue you have experienced.

I can assure you that we will continue to provide technical support on this handset as well honouring the 2-year warranty that comes with all our phone. You mention a ‘Jan2010 firmware update that has been promised by Samsung’. The only mention of this I can see is on internet forums. We cannot be held responsible for incorrect information that appears on non Samsung websites. I can confirm that we will not be changing the operating system on the i8910HDto Android or Windows Mobile.

I’m still hopeful that Samsung will gonna make it in the end. If you read their press release about the i8910 firmware update on their official site, it’s there dated Dec. 23, 2009. I’m also very disappointed with Samsung for not giving attention to its i8910 users. We know they have the resources to do that and they know there are issues with the phone. I just can’t believe they treated expensive i8910 these way.

Hi Arslan Qamar, do you have the link to HyperX FW, and i see you would recommend that FW. Im struggling to understand why samsung Suck Balls so much, I love their phones and their TV’s, in fact i use most Samsung equipment, but when it comes to this phone and there so called “Update Firmware” I think theres more chance of a Monkey raping a Donkey.
So If you or any one has a link to download the HyperX Firmware that would be Great.

here is the link people of hyperx firware http://www.hyperx.allroms.net/?page_id=335

———

Samsung i8910 software update will upgrade screen to 4.1″, add multitouch, be available in January 2010.

Nokia N97 just got updated, again. Well, firmware updates are always welcome even if there is nothing major on the list of changes. The only interesting news concerning the 21.0.045 firmware version is the improved kinetic scrolling, which should be smoother now … SUCKY SAMSUNG WAKE UP

Samsung sucks bigtime. Been waiting for like all my life for the firmware update. Yeah the fone looks great at the first glance but it would suck bigtime upon hands-on usage. Errrr, it saddens me that this had become comparable to an abandoned building… Nothing to be expected, nothing more to do… nothing more to fuckin’ wait for…

I’ve always bought Nokia and generally haven’t been disapponted as their support is 2nd to none. For example even the N95 recently got an update and how old is it. I was apprehensive about buying samsung as the research I did said they weren’t very good in the support dept. I guess people knew what they were talking about. I blame myself for falling for their ad campaign. It really did look the business in the ads. As soon as N900 is available on O2 its bye bye Samsung…….

Feel the same way… I agree with you 100%!!! The first and last samsung phone I will ever buy!

nice joke

here people check this hyperx firmware its perfect http://www.hyperx.allroms.net/?page_id=335

Can someone check by PC studio for the update ? ,,,, as i have custom FW so it is saying on update that Your phone is not connected .

Kindly try if you have original FW . Is there any update ?

I keep reading the posts, wondering what it is that is so bad with this phone that you need an update. I am very happy with mine – is there some new feature coming out that I have missed? The phone is superb in my eyes… Anyone care to explain? It moustly sounds like unfounded shouting to me…

samsung should have kept it surprise until last day just like Nokia does. They released new release for N97 what yesterday? without any big drama!!!
I will still wait as I cant afford to switch phones in case firmware is really “good”….if it’s not that great (wont go into details I am going back to N97. First time EVER bought something other than NOKIA and this is what I get!!! Hi Nokia, I will be there soon!!!! love you!

I took this phone on UK Orange mainly for the 8mp camera and Hi-Def video. Neither work properly – most notably unable to select the anti-shake option on the camera and the terrible sound quality on camcorder. Also, if you press ‘stop’ in the browser it exits completely.

I did flash to some different firmware recently which was OK, but have flashed back to UK Orange firmware in anticipation of the firmware update which is allegedly due.

I’ve always had Nokias before and they were great in terms of support. I was put off the N97 by reports of dodgy firmware (which I’m sure has been resolved). I’m a little annoyed that such a great (end expensive piece of hardware can only be made to work properly by going through unofficial channels and risking destroying the phone. Samsung’s attitude seems to be ‘we’ve got your money so now we don’t care’.

My experience with this, along with a Samsung Blu-ray player that had to go away for repair after less than 4 months, then went wrong again a few weeks later, means I’ll never buy another Samsung product.

When my contract expires I’ll go back to Nokia. You know where you are with them!

I agree Peder, it is the best phone ever and it does rock with the newest unofficial firmware. That’s kind of the point I was trying to make: You have to search the web and go through unofficial channels to make it work properly ,with the potential risk of bricking the phone!

so i don’t get it,where is that famous january update???? are this people nuts?? i bought this phone for 630 euros only to make proper phonecalls????if that firmware doesn’t come out soon i’ll throw this brick away and i’m going back to my iphone. i guess i rather have a great software …..i’m very dissapointed…shame on you samsung

Well for the umpteenth time, I’ve hacked this phone again successfully with the new Italian Firmware XXJA1 ITVJA1. It’s working fine, the problems I had with the pre-release UK firmware are non existent. The kinetic scrolling is fixed, smooth enough and the scroll bar bug has gone completely. The media files now load up a little quicker in thumbnail mode too and the corruption of large files is also fixed.

Here’s the reality now, Samsung have done as promised and released a new update, it may not contain ground breaking new software to match half the other smart phones on the market but it is at least working well now. As far as apps go, well don’t need much but there are tons that work for Symbian S60v5 operating system, I’ve got loads that work for my friends Nokia 5800 that run on my phone too. I’m simply not into the Apple bug of collecting Apps for collectings sake just to show your phone off but never use them again unless showing off to another friend! There are tons of games that work on this phone too but essentially all I need to be happy with the phone is practically here now in this latest update. From here I can customise with whatever else I need from third party developers or Samsung official widgets and apps. &20p video recording, 8mp camera with flash and the ability to play almost any video I download from the internet without transcoding into another format first. This screen is still the best i’ve ever seen on a mobile too! I can safely say I’m sticking with this device and the iphone/Apple wannabe’s can happily move on and moan somewhere else while hunting for the second job that’ll pay for the expensive lifestyle they’ve just invested in.

I really don’t like Samsung’s update policy. I mean here in Switerzland we didn’t get any official new Firmware update since last june. I still have the Version I8910XXIFB from the 14/06/2009! To get an actual firmware i would have to flash my I8910 and that really shouldn’t be. To make promises like they start to roll out an update in January and don’t do it it’s another thing which is really bad. But I don’t give up. I believe this update will come. I don’t believe they worked on a firmware and don’t release it. I mean just look at this:
http://www.samsungomniahd.com/2010/01/10/video-preview-of-upcoming-i8910-hd-firmware/
so I’m still waiting..

Omnia HD iz still better if one knows how to tweak it

@Arslan Qamar
Why would I spend ~400 € on a phone with which I must spend hours to install “workarounds”? If you can give a good argument for wasting hours with a software handicapped phone instead of going out with friends or spending quality time with my wife or just USING the phone when needed, without feeling like smashing it into the walls just because I didn’t “workaround” it, I’ll buy it. There, I gave you my arguments for the iPhone or the Nokia.

Checked out samsungmobile.co.uk last night, in software for i8910 found a studio version release date 3rd Feb 2010. Tried to download, computer wont install because its an older version than the one I have already. Checked it out. One on my PC ” version 7.2.24.9″ one released yesterday ” version 7.2.20.9″. Anybody got ANY idea what Samsung is playing at?

Oh my god, i actually thew my phone at the wall the other day because of this!! I was hung over and pissed off at the time anyway, but this phone has made me more frustrated than happy.

Oh, and it happens in google maps as well. So probably a java problem.

@Arslan Qamar
I am an IT pro too (senior software developer) and I have seen so much crappy software in my life that I really just want software to work properly AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: AS ADVERTISED. Really, I want to enjoy life, I am fed with “customizing” and “workarounds” so I see Nokias or iPhone as phones that serve you, not like the Samsung i8910HD, for which you pay a haystack of money then you’re its servant. And by the way, jailbreaking the iPhone opens the door to multitasking. As an IT pro you should’ve known.

You’re doing a poor job defending this phone. What kind of advice is “you don’t like it, just throw it, burn it, smash it”? It serves nothing to nobody (are you willing to pay people for the phones so that they can destroy them and move on?). On the other hand, my acid comments on this phone might help a lot of people not get trapped into buying this phone and (though the chance is at slimmest) maybe Samsung sees this and thinks about it. I don’t have it yet, so I don’t have to smash anything. I am looking for reviews before buying something of value, exactly to avoid spending a fortune on this kind of crap.
You are also very limited in thinking there are two “communities” of users. Perhaps you are the dumb one?

Lol .. you havent used it then how can you say that it is a bad set …

Use it first on some outlet and see for yourself what are the bugs … it is way better than iphone n N97….

I have used iphone n97 n96 n79 … after a long time some set has impressed me n that is omnia HD ….

@ Arslan. You seem to be what I call an intelligent moron and are missing the point. What the GENERAL PUBLIC want is what was originally advertised (and working), not something that needs time and effort to get it right. If I go into Sainsburys and buy a carmello chocolate bar and inside the wrapper is a dairy milk bar – it’s not what I wanted and I’ll complain. Samsung advertised the i8910 as having this, this, this this and this, unfortunately this and this don’t work properly.
Having you talk about “tweaking” and “workarounds” means absolute crap to me. I am not one of those who is 100% computer literate (although I get by) and if I tried to do something (eg: download and install some firmware) and I get it wrong, the phone becomes a brick worth nothing. So why would I want to take the risk. The product should do what Samsung said it would……..simples!

Ok, well i just researched HyperX and installed his firmware 2.2. I am impressed so far! Its not the complete change I would like, but it will keep me happy for now and resolves a number of issues. It is disappointing that i have had to do this, and its not the most straightforward thing to do. Im still not sure exactly how it works and what patches i need etc etc and it will take alot of mucking about to maintain it.

But this fw will keep me going over the summer probably and then i’ll look to getting something new later in the year. Im giving up entirely on any official updates.

BTW can anyone tell me the difference is with HyperX Speed? Is it faster as it has less on it?

Thanks.

Downloaded latest PC Studio 7 today, recently released Feb 3, 2010. When I ran update, it downloaded what I’m guessing to be latest firmware update. But then I got a meassge saying “Phone software updater does not support the connected model”

I’m running firmware I8910XSOIG1

I love the i8910HD. I have been perfectly happy with the camera. The video recorder is adequate. The screen is a delight. Running Opera10 the internet experience is great. With the standard browser surfing is ok. Running viewranger I have os maps covering the whole of the uk and can access thousands of guided walks. Using Orange Maps has made my Tom Tom vitually redundant. I can play hundreds of games. I can get the same or similar apps to any i have seen on the iphone which have any purpose. I can access as much music as I want. All this and on Orange Firmware.

@JPxM0Dz , I had same problem with new pc studio release, I Uninstaled l it and installed back the pc studio I had before.

@Dave C: I couldnt find any good application or game for this phone, can you tell me from where did u find it?

this phone is brilliant but it is also crap because of firmware…..!duh…!

m also thinking about N900 that thing looks kwel n shiny … but i wonder if there are any issues with it or not … m kind ov bored with omnia hd now

5800 vs Omnia HD

HAhahahaha … Funny

“Could have been” would have been more appropriate

My favourite apps in no particular order

Symabook app (beta) already expired. Any idea about the next version?

Guys, I’ve got a copy of the new firmware, actually a trial version (with text “Trial – Samsung Inc.” on the upper part of the screen). The firmware is a good one I should say. Kinetic scrolling is smooth except on the gallery, In the Settings actually is the gallery touch setUp, wherein you have two options: 1. Smoother scrolling but photo thumbnails won’t be processed while scrolling. So with this, you have to stop scrolling for the phone to load all thumbnails. 2. Freakier scrolling but photo thumbnails load at the same time. THe loading is alot faster now I should say. Also, this trial firmware doesn’t have wifi support yet. I guess they are tweaking some stuffs with the wifi connectivity… Well as of this trial version, the fone could not connect to wifi. As for the camera and video, still very much the same, though some added frames for the camera were added. you now have a wide variety of frames and effects to choose from. All in all, Im giving this firmware a grade of 8, 10 for iPhone’s OSX, and 4 for the last official firmware.

Salesmen are desperate to get rid of the i8910HD handsets on stock so they serve bullshit like this to potential clients to keep up the sales (just check on ebay, you’ll see). Don’t believe there is such thing as “trial firmware”. It’s hilarious. Something “trial” must be easily removable and reversable, which is never the case with firmwares.

Believe what you want, I have the new firmware (Italian version) Kinetic Scrolling fixed and everything. It’s fine, nothing spectacular in terms of a overhaul but It’s allowed me to be a lot more at ease with my handset and finally put back all my apps and games without waiting any longer for the official UK update. Since switching to the italian version of firmware updates last year, every update has been released for the italians long before the UK version finally sees the light of day. I’d recommend flashing your handset to the Italian firmware and stop waiting for Samsung UK to get their ass in gear! Latest Italian firmware = XXJA1 ITVJA1 just in case you wanted to know.

Prove it. Post a video on youtube. Proof is really simple to show unless you don’t have it.

FACT:

Samsung Omnia i8910 HD and Nokia n97 are now selling at almost same price, although Omnia HD exceeds n97 in every single aspect and why is that? The answer is software. Nokia invests a lot in development of excellent softwares. Ovi maps is just one of them. Software development is very costly. Samsung is smarter because it makes sure that the money we spent goes to the hardware. They just release a hack unofficially to help the omnia HD community. The hack enables to install most of S60 5th edition applications on omnia HD. Since Samsung released the hack unofficially (in the name of unknown samsung user), nokia has nothing to complain about Samsung. And also, Samsung is supporting unofficial firmware like hyperX.

@Michael
Because I was very close to buy one. And to annoy you.

The search button is really simple unless you already made up your mind about not believing it..
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=omnia+hd+firmware&search_type=&aq=f

@Michael
See? Annoying you worked. And it doesn’t even change the color of the bullshit samsung is serving you.

Samsung is really happy that you’re worried about my time instead of what this thread’s subject is. And about the iPhone: that was in the past. It’s working now! Get over it!

I’m telling no lies. I’m currently using XXII1, I’m from the Philippines, I’ve checked using Samsung FUSUpdater, and there it goes. Firmware I8910XXJA1 is now in existence. Thank you Samsung

Using Windows XP, my Software updater says that the Phone Software updater does not support the connected model. WTF am i suppose to do? i could not get any firmware or upgrade of anykind.

wtf there is not update…, my pc studio sw updater says ur sw is up to date….;(
I have this phone with with Orange contract in UK. it doesnt even have 3d multi task menu…!
A month ago when I checked for updates, it was available and I updated it, but haven noticed any specific change …!
My SW version reads.
Software Version : i8910BVIF6
Custom Version : i8910ORAII1
Custom version date: 10/09/2009

any one else have this version

Theres so many bugs with the PC Studio, windows versions and 32 /64-bit.. Google might save the day.

@Michael… thanks for the reply, i am seriously thinking now to de brand my phone and install the latest FW, is there any new FW released by samsung recently ?

@JEZ… so u too have same fw as I have, it is crap isnt it? are u going to debrand it for new fw ?
and if we do that would we be able to access orange maps service that we are paying for? rest of ting would work fine I guess….!

hello guys, what’s wrong with the new update? does anyone know when will it be available? here in Greece we haven’t seen anything yet!

Have samsung released any comments on the prolonged release? Have they given a more up to date release date for this?

so has it been released

@ Mansoor, For the most part mine seems to run ok. Not sure about debranding and if it creates problems with orange maps etc. So i may sit it out just a little longer to see what happens

JB1 firmware is now online via Pc Studio 7, unfortunately those of us that have custom firmwares are out of luck as far as updated from Samsung as will not be compateable with recognizing our handsets. Hopefully someone will be able to upload this FW for those of that are SOL

Roll back to official firmware and then update simple … but trust me that official FW wud be crap …stick to HX 2.03 .. that guy has spent more hours alone than whole samsung shitty developers had

Mansoor, yes.. JB1 was actually released yesterday, only for italian users right now, but I have no idea if this is the big update everyone is waiting for. Mixed feedback on what Samsung fixed on this fw.

Hey panos, due to Samsungs weird region release the fw is only available for the italian users.. for now.

Hey Arslan, so I was thinking about checking the Hx fw since everybody is saying great things about It.. but what’s different from the offical release? has he tweaked the exsisting fw? new menus? complete OS change?

Did you notice much difference between HX 2.02 and 2.03 speed ?

Speed is pretty awesome if u dont put heavy themes and kastor effects ,., but still its very good with them enabled. ….. i jumped from 2.00 to 2.03 .. dnt know much abt 2.02 ….

no way he can do that … but yes u will love the kastor effects funny animated menus and speed wise its kwel … and u get lots of free ram and c drive space … its worth to change .. stock FW is Féd up …

and ya better camera n battery life too …

I wont ever buy any of Samsung product either……! f***k Samsung……!!!

thought about phoning samsung and asking them?

yes… bcoz pc studio is one bad software … just use it to sync contacts n calendar …. Firmware update doesnt work for me .. i have a custom firmware thats why … r u using custom firmware ?

IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN UPDATE VIA PC STUDIO TO THE FIRMWARE THAT JUST GOT RELEASED ON 11 feb. i currently havesoftware version i8910DXIG2 AND IT ALSO SAYS CUSTOM VERSION I8910XMEIG3. can i update to JB1 firmware via pc studio.
plz help

do you suggest i flash to HX 2.03 speed?

@ Michael. How do you back up your original firmware please?

hi again i need help, sorry if im beeing a pain with these questions, can i still flash to JB1 firmware even if i dont have previous italian firmware using the flashing tool.
thnx in adv

Using a flashing tool, you can flash to which fw you like.. but I’m uncertain about how the language setting would get flashing unoffical.

Can anyone tell me where the firmware upgrade is that should have come out in January?

@terry. is the kinetic scroll in music player slow and laggy on HX 2.02

@ Guys currently on HX,

Do you know of a HX flashing tutorial website? Do we still need to flash to Italian then HX or straight from official FW to HX?

Hi Seth,
When i flashed mine, i was originally on the Official crap FW, and then flashed to the Itallian Firmware. After reading all the reviews and being let down my Samsung, i decided to flash to HX, at present i am using 2.02, and i think its fantastic. Tempted to go over to the 2.03, but im not sure on the benefits.
What i would recommend is Google HyperX and the first link will go to his site. There you find all the downloads and the tutorial on how to Flash. I would advise reading it very carefully to make sure you dont Brick your phone.

Well here we are….. Samsung have forsaken us for their new Bada phone the Wave – which does sound as though its nearly as powerfull and as beautiful as our beloved i8910. I can understand them consentrating on their new way forward but that does little for us lot who have parted with, actually a lot of money.
Anyway HX is great. 2.02 is nice and fast and slick and all of that. 2.03 is even faster and only lacks the 3D taskmanager. I can live without it. See HX’s site. All explanations, run throughs, tutorials, links and downloads are there.
If you flash HX then you will be able to download and install the compatible apps in the ovi store. I can help anyone who needs the correct .sis ovi store file for the i8910.
Without HX you have an abismal few apps to use but still a phone that looks beautiful – especially with a good pic on the homescreen, plays movies very well, and although it has its shortcomings it IS still the only phone that shoots video in HD! Oh and it makes phonecalls too.
Long live the i8910HD!!

Still thinking about flashing mine with the HX2.03, but I have a question, I live in Denmark so my phone is with the nordic software, is it possible to flash it, and still have my Danish T9 and language in the menus?

to “i need help” the kenetic scroll on album art and music search is fine and to “arsien” my battery life has doubled! and i use the phone for everything especially when I am in the pub showing it off to all the blackberry and iphone users as it now does everything theres does and more(of course they all think I am a bit of a looser!). I think the coolest app is sky by mobile . My garmin app works perfectly too. I might go to hx 2.03 or wait for protx to be debugged as hyperx is pushing the limits with that one.

Guys i flashed to HX 2.02 just recently and all was well until today. i experienced problem with apps replacing other apps and apps taking the icons of other apps. So i read that if you intall java 2.02 beta it will fix the problem. And to my surprise it did. however after a fe hours everytime i want to open a java app i get the error saying: “Application start-up failed. Internal error”. I am really worried somethiig is wrong. Please guys if anyone has a solution please post it.
Thanks in advance

I for one will not be checking out the Samsung Wave, as after this experience i shall not be checking out Samsung again! Sad to say, espeically as im a big Chelsea supporter, but have been really disappointed with the experience of i8910.

But i have flashed it with HX Speed and that is pretty good. gonna run this phone into the ground and get a new one in the summer.

This is so chewed up thread…..!

From Samsung: update 2Q. We have to wait a few months more – May/June.

Samsung have more or less moved on from the i8910, us as users are stuck with what we bought. The Samsung Apps Store only supports Omnia phones, but not THIS Omnia phone, what does that tell you? And if anyone has seen the presentation they put on for the new WAVE with its BADA operating System then they’ll realize the i8910 is simply the past and the WAVE along with the BADA os they developed themselves, is the future. There’s no point crying about it, this is the world of mobile phone purchasing, Samsung have developed many phones over the last two years and most of them are in the same boat as the i8910. BADA is gonna be Samsungs serious push into the market currently dominated by the iPhone. Microsoft have developed a new Windows 7 Mobile os that’s also gonna be their big push into that same iphone dominated market. To be honest Microsofts os looks revolutionary and will be available on other phones, not just their own brand. Recently the HTC HD2 was stated to be able to upgrade to the new Windows Mobile 7 os from the old Windows Mobile 6.5 os it currently has (and that’s very nice). And then there’s the Google Nexus One phone that is outstanding and supports the New Android 2.1 os. All these new Operating Systems are supported by an Apps store so that they can make a serious opposition to the Apple dominated market. The i8910 is unfortunate to be the interim between a good intention and a well executed plan. My advice would be to hold on to your phone until the contract runs out and then consider all three new OS before jumping on the old iPhone bandwagon. I’ve opted to flash my phone to a cooked firmware for ease through the remainder of my contract, and then i’ll be either purchasing the new Google Nexus One or an HTC HD2. BADA on the new Samsung Wave is nice but its very Apple OS orientated and unless Samsung release a BADA firmware update for the i8910, then I will consider no loyalties towards purchasing another Samsung phone, even though I would still consider it. What I won’t do is buy into the Apple lifestyle just to become another mindless sheep under the control of the Apple shepherd and dominated by iTunes!

Got to agree Ceejay. The i8910 HD has the ability to be a fantastic phone, shame Samsung decided to let it go, would love to try it with the Bada OS but dont think it will happen, but then again, who knows, with Samsung anything could and does happen. One thing i will say though, i’ll never buy another anything with the Samsung logo. They have no respect for the very customers that helped put them where they are. So if you get problems with any of their items i’m not saying they wont help, but don’t be supprised if they just ignore you. Lets face it, they already have your money so why should they bother with you. They are big and don’t care, we are vey very little and unimportant!

Well good luck mate, hopefully by then Apple will have turned a new leaf and made the new iPhone a lot more free to personalize without having to have to jailbreak and run the risk of being shut out of the app store completely! Apple are too dominating a company for me to ever buy their products, they don’t license any hardware or software out to other developers or manufacturers. Once you buy into that Apple lifestyle your stuck moaning about the price of everything they control that you either need or want for the rest of your days! And hopefully they’ll sort out the things apple users who finally got over the novelty of having a smooth and pretty interface suddenly realized where still a no-no with the device like.. No memory upgrade, no battery replacement without returning the entire phone for exchange, three years of development and still no decent camera with any sign of an LED or Xenon Flash, three years and finally they allowed Multimedia text messeging (THREE FREAKING YEARS!!!), GLASS LCD screen breaks EVERY-TIME, scratches EVERY-TIME, no Amoled screen, no 16:9 ration screen so all your videos play in smaller letterbox’s or cropped to fill the screen, no avi, Divx, Mpg, FLV, MKV or any other video type other than Mp4 or apples own MOV movie file playback without a jailbreak app, no noise cancellation headphones, Crap battery life, no bluetooth to any decvices other than headphones and other iPhones, 90,000 apps? yeah but that’s becasue to almost every application on the App-store there’s about 4 to 60 duplicates from different companies of the same freaking app! No Flash support in internet mode, no cut and paste function, utterly iTunes reliant, TWO YEAR phone contracts? Might as well get married! Add to all this the fact that if you jailbreak to really allow the machine to do some cool stuff, then Apple will use all their power at their disposal to shut you out from the rest of the Apple and iPhone community, this is what they spend millions on every year, new ways to force you to play within their own rules and with other iPhone users only. No matter what problems you’ve had Samsung over the i8910 consider this and what’s to come once they find ways to enforce their ways against jailbreaking. At least with the i8910, you have the freedom to flash your mobile with any firmware be it third party developed or official and still have all the above that the iPhone won’t allow. If however you honestly think all this freedom and ability is worth exchanging for a prettier graphical User Interface and the one shop visit to 90,000 mostly repeatedly cloned apps at ridiculous prices, then by all means give your money and life away to the Apple Corp for the next two years of new things to moan about and very expensive repairs for a phone that is guaranteed to break at least twice. (yes, guaranteed, everyone – EVERYONE – I know with one has broken the screen if the actual phone more than once or twice)

Love my i8910HD, and even with the lack of support from Samsung it’s still a great piece of hardware that probably HAD a great future. Shame Samsung let it go. Hope they consider offering us a change of OS, if its possible that is. Anybody know if that kind of thing can be done on this phone?

@Ceejay , i have become a fan of u, the way u explained IPhone facts and wording u used to explain all this, I cant just do that. coz of language barrier, but I am sure if you start explaining facts and figures for i8910 HD it would take more than one posts like this,
finding good apps to work on ur phone is really frustrating, and some times even when u find one it doesnt work.
as far as I know about iPhone, it also has scratch poof screen.
Aspect ratio of i8910 HD is also not very good, dnt what it is exactly ….!
no doubt harware of i8910 is best, including camera and flash but still u cant only rely on hardware.
iPhone has 90 thousand repeated apps, something is better than nothing, and 90k is not only something.
Android is a good option but i will not take risk next time, I will wait for next iPhone upgrade may be iPhone 4g with multi tasking, and better camera, without flash ofcourse but still i would prefer iPhone.

There are rumours about Samsung planing a relaunch of the I8910 HD Summer 2010. New Firmware + new App Store for the i8910HD coming with it.
I have no source because it was just confirmed by a Samsung Employee on the CeBit in Germany.
Maybe we are about to finally get some good news?

I’m never going to buy any Samsung telephone!

I payed 550 Euro in Juli 2009 for telephone with mature camera function, which was never work as it supposed to, audio player is unusable due to very bad sound conversion, plus NO APPS!
Samsung Omnia HD is piece of Shit!
Are they really so stupid in Korea? At least it looks that way!
And they still thinking about updates?

I want my money back!

P.S.
Fresh news: Omnia HD is unable to make decent video because the processor is too slow!
Can you imagine how stupid they are (Samsung)

Iphone? Anybody?

I dont think they gonna relaunch it, if they had plan of relaunching it they wouldnt have launched Omnia HD Gold….! which is the same piece of shit as Omnia HD….!

Guys, any offical firmware update has been released yet? I am located in the Middle East (Kuwait) and I am still running on the original firmware that came with the device when I bought it.
Software version: I8910JVIF6
Software version date: 17-Jun-09

whats all the sooking about with the new firmware????
custom firmware is better than any official firmware, because the custom ones are based on the officials????
problem solved..
@ Ghramazeka: yeah there are plenty of apps..dont b lazy and look for them.

Sorry, my last comment was meant to be a reply for Ceejay

I have deleted some picture folders from my mass memory …! but when I open my media browser is still shows the ghost impression of images….(blank image), how do i get rid of it?
can any one help?

@Ceejay …. once again really nice comments, every one has their own priorities, some ppl are more into multimedia, some are more interested in apps, any way I have got a phone with very hi fi hardware with no apps, next time I would rather compromise on hardware than apps.

i would suggest to all..to join the forum…
all of your questions have already been posted there with plenty of answers and alot of things that you havnt even thought of yet..
so save urselfs the time of even asking..

peace

this forum! I8910user forum..topf the page..

there is no search option there….! i cant go thorough all more than 50 pages…..to find right thread….!

Mansoor –

- Connect your handset to your PC using the USB cable
- Select ‘mass storage’ mode
- In ‘my computer’ open the drive of your phone
- Go to Private/101f8857 and delete the Cache folder
- In the same directory create a new folder and name it ‘Cache’
- Disconnect and restart your phone and you will be free of ghost images

Peace

Oh my Gosh!!! Windows Mobile 7 for Omnia HD????? is that even possible? really hope thats true…

anyone has voucher code for route66 ( thailand map)? thank you

does any one know or have step counter or pedometer application for i8190? I had it in N95 but I couldnt find this for this fuckin brick…..!
if yes please let me know where can I download.

They must to throw the symbian shit and create an android rom for this incredible hard better than the nexus one and we are ding a shit with this bricks… I feel defrauded….

This release was officially done by Samsung and they make it seem like it will be the new standard firmware and that it’s as simple as updating via PC studio 7. I’m asking myself, is Samsung really planning on improving this phone. The hardware is powerful, but the phone is just a mess! By the time the update is available, everyone would be having a new phone. Definitely not a so called multimedia touch-phone from Samsung again. It’s not even close to the usability of the HTC and Sony Eriksson competitors.

This is just the oposite of being serious, by samsung. OMG it takes forever. Everything exept the following up part on software and firmware is good. Samsung must take action soon before the users of their products hates them to mutch. Jizez Chr. how slow can people work?

I am wating now for so long time to this new firm but samsung seem not to be interested to do this!
I know that this was my last SAMSUNG Product !
I have paid 600€ for this phone i was stupid to think that samsung is maybe better than iphone.
And now i have a phone what is not supported by the company this is really a shame!!

I will never buy i product of this company!!!

i am really disappointed!

Same here proto….! it was my big mistake that I bought this brick instead of iPhone, its gonna be my last ever samsung product…!
f***u Samsung….!

Same here. Samsung doesn’t want us as customers is the message we can draw from this sl0wp0ked update-rumours (how do we know Samsung actually will complete the update at all?)

If that’s how it’s gonna be, we too can play tough. Never buying a Samsung product again is what my future looks like, unless the update Samsung say they’re working on is way awesome. I want android. I want someone other than Samsung to supply the firmware, because, frankly, they’re n00bs.

Seriously, Samsung. If you’re gonna make High-end phones at all, and smartphones in particular, you gotta SUPPORT them! Not like your old, dumb-ass phones, whom hardly required care at all.

Our brick, relaunched with Android could actually do something, could actually be a market contender, and if Samsung doesn’t know that, they need some new analysts over there in Seoul.

I fully agree with you ! And I have exactly the same experience with this f… phone.

i still cant update my firware through pc studio .. it say my phone software is up to date!!!

Any help ???

which update is this and for which region ?? does it have kinetic scrolling?

hi plz help me i buy omnia hd i have a prolem that when i use websites suddenly i have a mass that
JTAG DEBUGGING IS REQUIRED n my cell phone is going to restart plz tell na any solution for this or email me plz

this is the lastest australian update. yeah it has kinetic scrolling and is alot more stable to use in every way. it is alot better.

this forum has died, probably everyone lost the hope of a new fimware release. soon it’s june and still no release, and i don’t think it will come very soon. and if it comes , it won’t come with application store , there is no application for omnia hd beside google maps, fring, opera and 2-3 other . samsung could prepare a bada version for omnia hd, but they just won¨t do it , too much work they say… like we care how much work they have to do…they tricked us with this mobilw, we payed much money for it so we should get a better os for this mobile. Hyper x ‘s firmware is unstable, fast but unstable, got issues with camera and connectivity troubles with 3G in google maps so i went back on latest italian firmware.Android on omnia hd ? don¨t think so, it looks like it is too difficult to achieve, requires too much work from omnia hd fans. Check anphase’s forum too .

you are right corneliu84, I have completely lost my hope for new firmware, this forum has died already.
my contract is ending in Feb next year but I cant live with this brick anymore, I m waiting for new iPhone release in June, hopefully It will be in Uk market by July.
from now on I will neva eva buy any Samsung product, and never advice anyone to buy. such a shame for a big name like Samsung, they really dont care for their customers. they just care about selling and releasing new phones, I think they believe in quantity not quality, they should learn some lesson from Apple, they release just three phones in three years, but their OS usability has no match.
I hope and wish samsung will lose all its customers one by one like me….!

spb shell for symbian is out. works nice on my omnia hd

well i tried spb shell , its good …!

can we down load this of the site yet if so where from
thank you

mansoor , are u from norway ?

hey dude why not u get rid of these firmware and go for ..Hyper X V5 ..man it rockssssssssssssssss

Anyone know how to restore Collins Cobuild dictionary and some other features of this phone after formating with *#7370#?
It’s strange as the codes should restore the Omnia HD back to factory setting in which the dictionary should be available, and now it’s gone along with some other features and game.
You’re right, I put so much hope on the hardware specs of this phone but the softwares and Samsung let me down horribly

The official firmware I8910XCSJC1 is not BIG UPDATE.720p video is 21fps. It is more ,,normal” firmware, exactly with kinetic scrolling.it’s a pity.(I am sorry for my english)

hi guys, have one question how does ‘ roadsync ‘ works on yor omnia hd ? in the biggining , it was ok on my device but now i get a message when ‘ push mode ‘ is activated, saying ‘ symbian error . push innactive’
i have the latest italian version . pls help

fuck off samsung…! keep ur updates in ur ass…! i m gonna get iPhone4

it’s probably because you have a memory card inserted, do the same procedure for the card, and the files will be gone, so i did…

I dont understand you people the phone is not that bad if your having them sorts of faults then you have some thing wrong ive updated mine to the latest firmware every time it has come out and still even with all its bugs then phone still beats alot of the others on the market today
it really depends what you want from it if you want a good camera there aint many phones that are better the same with the video yes the sound was not great but it has got there now
the phone still does the job better than most others and thanks to all the people on this form and there input to have others solving there problems………:-)

yes samsung have let every one down but thats just life any people shouting an slagging things off on here aint helping your shoutting at the wrong people

every one should be emailing samsung pehaps they will get fed up of it and do some thing bit like the people are getting fed up on here of mouths running….!

I am with you JEZ, I wont buy any of samsung product ever, and GAVIN there is no major update release in UK till date, not even kinetic scrolling. I hate SAMSUNG….!

Seriously? Still slamming this phone down? I put the HyperX firmware on it ages ago and have been fine with it ever since. When I buy my next phone it’ll be an Android based one and probably the HTC Evo or the Samsung Galaxy i9000. What I won’t be doing is joining the poor saps waiting to buy the new iphone4. Only Apple would produce a phone with a resolution so high but the same small screen as before so you can’t tell the difference. Half the previous iphone owners i know have all gone Android, most are sick of the non-flash support on the iphone’s infamous internet experience and the fact the damn device always breaks. Had a customer bring back his ipad for the same reason a few days ago! At least after 4 years they finally put a LED flash on the damn camera!

To be honest I think this is a really good phone, but as I said before, its Samsung that’s the problem. No real support, not updating when they said they would or sorting out the bugs. If I went out and bought a new car and it turned out the engine was crap, I wouldn’t just get another engine from someone else, i’d expect the manufacturer I got the car from to sort it out. Having said that, I have had an update here in the UK, and it does have kinetic scrolling and a few other things on it, such as when you’re into options, show open apps, its in 3D so you can flick through them. Got it via Samsung Studio 7, version 7.2.24.9. Had to try a few times as the connection seemed a bit erratic, but got there in the end. I’m with Orange and my new software versions are, software version I8910BVJB1 dated 01/02/10, custom version I8910ORAJC1 dated 17/03/10. Hope this helps guys. but as i’ve said before, this isn’t about the phone, its a great phone. It’s about respect for the people that buy your products, and it seems as far as SAMSUNG is concerned its JUST NOT THERE!

hmmm …. certificate error , how does that sounds ?

Ok , we don’t get applications like android has or apple has but some BASIC functions sould work, but they don’t. It happens with the latest italian firmware , and with hyper x ‘s firmware too, we can’t talk about bugs here, this in much worst . I am sure samsung symbian team could fix it all but for some reasons they dont fix it . At least the guys from SPB have done a great job with SPB shell . . .so fixing this software IS POSSIBLE

It looks to me as if Samsungs basic principle is, not doing any more than you have to and avoid diong even that much if you can. From personal experience and what i’ve come across on various sites their customer care is poor at best and totally dismissive at worst. Still like the phone though, not many out there can match it hardware wise. Such a shame. Silly Samsung ha ha

Well complaining didn’t work – why not stage a Samsung i8910 day outside key highstreet mobile retailers – they might even offer to swop them for a similar spec’d handset that actually works – Sony Ericsson Vivaz anyone ?.

i have given up waiting, bought IPhone 4, its awesome and i m v happy with it, buying Samsung Omnia HD was my biggest mistake. i will never buy any samsung product ever. either its TV, camera or what ever…! no samsung anymore.
