          Hi there, I am writing from Melbourne, Australia. I recently purchased the Samasung 18530 Galaxy Beam phone. The zoom function doesn't work, so i would like to have some information as how to use the zoom function. Also i am not able to get a flip cover for the mobile, can you please let me know where can i get the cover from. And also i have noticed that there is no % sign in the calculator.Can anyone give me information on this i would be kindly obliged, Been such an expensive mobile i think it lacks a lot of features.

            just bought the phone for one month, everything fine. unfortunately, one month later the phone ADJUST FOCUS bar for the projector become no effect when i try to adjust it. previously, when the bar was adjusted, the projected image would vary between blur and clear image, now the image stay constant no matter what the distance was. Anyone any idea?

              Just bought the phone. Very cool. The only problem I have is that compared the other phones, the os seems outdated. Feels slow. They say they'll update to Ice Cream or Jelly Beam, but only God knows when that will happen. All in all a special phone

                                        You will need Flash player software on your Android to watch any flash videos or channels from this website, flash player is no longer showing up in android store, so you will need to do this manually. Here is the procedure.

                                        Make sure your Android device is connected to the Internet.
                                        Open the Settings menu.
                                        Select Security (or Applications, on older Android OSs).
                                        Place a checkmark next to the “Unknown sources” check box.
                                        Tap OK to confirm your selection.
                                        Close Settings.
                                        Launch the browser.
                                        Search for “flash player archive page” or navigate directly to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions. html

                                        On the Archive page, scroll down to “Flash Player for Android archives”
                                        Select a version of Flash Player that is compatible with your Android operating system. (Android 4.x or Android 2.x based on your phone or tablet pc version)

                                        Tap the link to download the Flash Player installer. Download begins automatically.
                                        When download completes, close the browser.
                                        Open Notifications.
                                        Tap “install_flash_player.apk”
                                        When prompted, tap Install.
                                        When installation is finished, tap Done.

                                        *** Support is not available for this and you will need to figure out rest of the part. Myself i have tried this on my phone it worked.
