ive just got myself a omnia hd from orange for 30 quid a month and i'm very happy with it. . However, would anybody know a place, specifically in manchester that would do it for me? I'd do it myself, but my alienware has vista premium, as does my laptop, and i don't fancy bricking it. Thanks for any help. Much appreciated. |

hello sorry i dont know any phone unlockers in manchester but i would like to know how your phone runs with out all this orange s##t on it i have had my HD for about 10Days now I read some where that the phone runs faster with out orange on it if it gets faster that would be amazing because its not slow now but if you get it unlocked there is the problem about insurance just in case it goes wrong you can not send it back to orange because the insurance will be null and void i hope you get it sorted soon good luck sy a very happy samy HD owner  |

sound is the same, although there is an engineers menu where you can adjust the headphone sound and speaker sound. I used it and its much louder through the headphones. I also gota say, im really enjoying just dumping divX films etc straight onto the handset without the need to convert them. Great stuff. |

Sy..do the following...it worked for me.
Here’s how to increase the volume in both videos and Music: Press telephone and type *#0002*28346#. A menu will appear. Now to up the Music playback volume via the headset.
In the menu select:
* 2. Play Sound
* now: 2. Mp3 HeadPHN
* Now change HS Gain to = 6db. Type 6 and #. Done.
To up the Video audio playback via the speakers.
In the menu select:
* 2. Play Sound
* Now press: 3. Mp4 LoudSPK
* Now change (4) PreDR Gain to = 6db. Type 6 and #. And your done.
To make sure your settings are saved go back to main audio tune screen and select “back-up” |

heed the warning tho sly. Be careful. You could blow the speakers if you raise the volume 2 loud in the settings. |

It's worth getting a hold of the latest Italian firmware IG2. The phone is even quicker than the previous unbranded firmware, there's now AAC for 720P recording and the browser is a lot quicker.
If you only have Vista you can use an XP VM to debrand.
There's some good help here for debranding.

my handset is debranded but still locked to orange. Also waiting on a new battery from samsung, as the one i have now is awful. Presuming it is the battery of course and not the xxie6 firmware..is battery consumption any better with ig2 firmware? |
