Samsung Omnia (DZIA5) – Part two

Well is almost one week of using and here is the second part of the review:

GPS

The GPS can detect the satellite almost immediately (about 3 to 5 second) . After checking at the setting:

The XTRA setting?? My little guess work…  Omnia will download the satellite data from the Internet (as said in the setting) :) The most important fact to know it that it works and can detect the signal extremely fast as compare to when I first have the phone (almost a year ago).

I tried going for a drive with the “Enhanced GPS” disabled and after 10 minutes of drive still unable to fix onto any signal. When I turn on the enhanced mode, the signal almost immediately lock on. This is good if you turn on the geo-tagging in the camera more (more on that later….)

The problems with un-assisted GPS in jungle (real or concrete) is that there too many obstructions, such as in urban environment, the satellite signals bounce off buildings which confuse the receiver and prevents lock and error in timing measurement. The assisted mode, Omnia will download the latest satellite information about the conditions in the vicinity of the phone allowing better time measurements and more accurate positioning as well as higher signal to noise ratios.

Back to other new features of DZIA5:

Volume control

 

The new volume control is like those manual fan speed control. you turn the dial to volume level you wanted. Cool.

Game: Asphalt 4

 

This is a car racing game and you control the car by turn your Omnia or in short your Omnia is your steering wheel of the car. You can also use the touch screen mode, that is touch left edge of Omnia to turn left and to turn right, touch on the right edge.

Other

The other reason why the new ROM is larger than the previous version is that it include some movies and songs (it formatted your storage to put in all the new software, movies and songs).

The movies and songs are:

 

The Tutorial basically gives you a simple guide/tour on how to use your OMNIA. The other software is called Share pix.
