I wonder if anyone has a remedy for this weird problem when a Samsung SGH i780 used with properly paired with Stereo Bluetooth (Bluetrek ST1) with both profiles namely; Hands Free and Stereo Headset active. The problem: All incoming calls have to answered by headset answer button as the pre-set “Auto Answer” on the phone does not function.
The “Auto Answer” only works when the “Wired Stereo Headset” is plugged in.
I have done some research on this problem via the web and it seems to be a problem with the “Omnia” as well.
Any one out there experience the same problem or have a solution please. It might be a "LATENT DEFECT"
Thanks in advance to all replies.

1) thumbcal (replaces akward calendar with cool one with sliding option - very nice indeed)
2) spb keyboard 4 - at last a worthy keyboard (as featured on board with Omnia)
3) 1-Calc - scientific replacement for my calculator which doesn't work out of the box???
4) Inesoft Phone 4 (superb dialer, called id and profile manager - tatally replaces awfull windows calling interface....with big red and green buttons it's really what i've been looking for..after install just press the green button on i780)
All the software is running on top of spb mobile shell - so cheers to that:)

you might also check out the Iconsoft Phone Extension, but with my unit it doesn't seem to work..
That's it for today - have fun kids..Regards!

To Jon

The i780 does heat up with applications running. Remember, you have a 612MHz processor running. Make sure that all programs are closed, hold in the home key for about 2 seconds and the task manager will open, close all programs. This will free up memory and load on the processor. Also, GPS will drain your battery very quick and cause excessive heat.

I also thought my GPS was malfuntioning as it never got signal. I have since learnt that the GPS can take 15 - 20 minutes to log on. Leave it running and wait.

To use your phone as a Modem, go into the menu, select Internet sharing then set it up as either USB or bluetooth (whatever your PC/Laptop supports). It will default your internet carrier to your current network provider, plugin cable and hit connect on the phone. Open the internet explorer on your PC and off you go.

Hi KENT!!

If you want to download a DIVX/AVI/MPEG1 player, GOOGLE TCPMP Player and download. Mine works like a bomb. Then download the NEXT DIVX TO AVI converter. With this you would be able to convert DVD's to any playable file format (my personal favorite is MPEG1 as its the closest to VGA) and copy it onto your mem card of your phone. I have watched full length movies and the quality and playback is the smoothest I have ever seen on a phone.

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2008-11-15 08:29 from vj1kStrange....i've been only using the unit for about 3 months, but the signal and calling and sms are one of the best things about it. Maybe a faulty unit, have u tried hard reset, it could maybe solve your problem. If then you still have problems i would recommend replacing the unit...Regards!
