    Use Tubemate. It' an app which has been banned for Google Play, because you can download or watch videos. It's flawless. Try it

            Hi,

            One more question. What about the screen ?
            I understand, it's not a gorilla glass..
            Anyway, do you find it sensitive for scratches ?
            Do you use any screen protection ? If not, did your screen got scratched just from using it with fingers ?

                I have the beam for a month now and I have no regrets buying this phone, it's pretty awesome. Still waiting for the official JB update.

                      i have used the samsung galaxy beam and it's good the sound output is excellent, the video recording is good, battery life is over n above normal, the projector is a feature to brag abt it's excellent at night, the internet speeds r great n downloads do end quickly, but they shld have given it a better camera and zooming ability.

                        Hi dear colleagues,

                        So is anywhere released official OTA Jelly bean version for Beam ? Or Samsung thinks, that it's enough some leaked beta version on the internet?
                        Maybe I would risk to flash it , but I'm not sure about mine Beam warranty after that, plus I heard
                        not one opinion, that after this leaked JB update , phone becomes laggy ..
                        If you have JB update , please share your experience !

                                        Stick with 2.3.6 ,,i mean it has everything,
                                        Here some programs i use and recomment
                                        1.dice player>>plays everything perfectly..{alternative Mx player 1.7.10 neon-no newer version}
                                        2 Color Flashlight LED HD >> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.socialnmobile.hd.flashlight
                                        You can write messages easilly using the whole screen and project them leaving everyone surprised,plus it has the cirle illusion which projects many meters away trolling people.
                                        3.Bass booster pro>>surprisingly i don't use this for bass,it makes the earphones more louder using simply the volume booster profile[it's simply an equalizer].
                                        Movies get a lot of extra punch and it has a very nice virtualizer{like surround}makes larger soundstage..really works

                                        AND FINAL MAKE YOUR PROJECTOR BETTER AND PERFECT FOR LET'S SAY..100 INCH 120 130 NOT SURE YET...

                                        Use virtual dub and add filters to the original video.
                                        Increase contrast,gamma add a little saturation and sharpness and the result is amazing!!Re encode the movie using x264 and boom the projector feels like let''s say 100-200 lumens can't be sure.
                                        Here's an example of ironman 2 of a dark scene.
                                        http://www.2shared.com/video/FYoZ_TjF/IronMan22010720pBluRayx264-WiK.html
                                        {click on the small download icon}
                                        It's unwatchable even at short distance
                                        notice the lamp behind him 0:44..nothing underneath
                                        NOW AFTER THE RE ENCODING
                                        http://www.2shared.com/video/6nfsHFH3/Ironman_2_improved.html
                                        PERFECTLY WATCHABLE WAY MORE PUNCHY
                                        Please download the 2 video files and compare them,let me know what you think.I feel like some sort of Samsung executive and i call this an important innovation!
