This phone would only behave that way if in a bad reception area or if it were faulty.
Its a solid design that will last at a budget price

> In reply to Puneeth @ 2010-03-08 11:08 from 2SPHWell i always get the "no event" sign :) anyways... it sais here that it has 'turn-to mute'
i turned this phone in all directions but could get it to mute :) i persume there is no turn-to-mute right?
about the phone reception... no problems with me.. it probably got a lot more to do with your service provider and settings (3G, 900/1800,..) then with the phone itself.

I bought this phone thinking that it is a no frills phone that can serve basic functions (sms & call). To my horror, after some of usage I am deeply disappointed.
To be fair, I must say that the screen is beautiful and the interface is quite nice to use.
Unfortunately the phone has horrible reception. Several times a day, I have to actually 'reset' my phone networks so that I can either send out a message or make a call. I think for most of us, would expect our phone to actually work (be able to sms and call) without any problems. So I think the level of reception is not acceptable.
After 2 months of usage, I think it's not a functional phone. I can't wait to rid myself of this ridiculous product.

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2010-03-03 11:07 from vIwSUse the * and the led will glow on as long as you don't go back. That is what it does with my phone.
Want to ask another question -- among the widgets there is a widget (with a green sign !) that you cannot remove from the bar, if you drag it onto the main screen it says NO EVENT. I tried every thing on the calender, notiications and everything and it always says NO EVEN.
1. What is this widget for?
2. How can I remove it from the bar 'cuz it's annoying as it gets to the first place on the bar automatically?

U can use the front camera(VGA) for viewing yourself by typing- *#0*#.
U can also turn on the flash for using it as a torch!
MINE ONLY GLOES FOR A SECOND?????/

> In reply to Mario @ 2010-02-26 11:02 from nxF1about the photo calls - I thing it stores them manually to the last contacts used so it canges all the time. But you can set your favourite 5 contacts on the desktop with an installed widget. It's a nice looking widget and if functions for fast dialing and calling your favourite contacts.
about the battery - I also got the 960mA so it's a bit of shame, but I turned off the 3G option and I hope this will make the battery a bit better.

> In reply to Manish @ 2010-02-26 06:17 from PS8nabout the advanced settings.. i found something
type in *#6984125*# and you get to a new menu where you can change some things, but if you go to the INTERNALS and type in *#9072641*# you find a test mode where there are some interesting things you can play with, but I can't save them and it's difficult to know what they are and how to change them. So play with them a bit and let me know if anything improved :)

I am having this phone for quiet sometime. All in all good phone with reasonable price and added WiFi would have done wonder to this phone.
AnywaYS it's specification as mentioned on gsmsrena and Samsung site says it has 1000mah battery.But for my shock my box came with 960mah.Initially battery seems Good but nowdays it's performance is decreasing.In this case i would call Samsung guys cheater...
Next thing i wanna ask is, i am unable to use photo contact feature.I can't store my choices of photo contacts manually.It stores some contacts itself.Manually some is added while not all.Plzzzzzzz help...
And yes some guys were discussing here about advance setting so plzzz tell me how to access it.
THANX in advance !
