Samsung M310 - User Reviews

  • Honestly, this is phone with best call voice quality, the speaker is sooo damn good! It tops every damn smartphone, and this M310 is the reason why I stopped using smartphones. I wonder if there's any other phones that would have same or similar call quality.

  • Does anyone know what the connector of this device is called?

  • guys it also have whatsapp,,,,,,,,,,,,lol

  • You really CAN play mp3's as ringtone. But the size of the file has to be very very small, since the phone has only internal memory of 4MB. I don't know the exact number but the size of each mp3 has to be around (or under) 150KB to be playable (This means a song on low quality for like 20 seconds).

  • i just got this phone and there is aconstant buzzing noise when talking is there a setting i can try to get rid of it

  • mp3 ringtones?? i cant apply for callings

  • I`ve had this phone for the past two years. I changed it because i was bored of it. You cannot get ringtones because it saves it as an mp3 and wont play as a ringtone. huge bummer. but it lasted through some brutal beatings and overall an okay phone.

  • I have been using the phone for the past two week,but it cant play any mp3 songs beyond 150kb. otherwise the internet access speeds are faster compared to the other phone I have been using.

  • it does not fit, because the usb pin for the samsung is of the new type and you must be having the old regular type. Not too many I have seen with the new usb tip.

  • it's called an answering machine. :D it's probably the most amazing feature of this phone. if you want to remove it, go to Messages > Answering Machine > Options > Settings and set Activate to Off. Funny. Coz there are other languages there too, like an English male voice and female voice. :D You can record your own too, if you want. :D

  • My phone goes into auto answer mode after a few rings and plays a audio message in some language i cannot recognise. How do i switch off this feature.

  • can u download mxit 4rom this fne pls help?

  • I think this phone is for teens because there is no WAp for mxit and to browse funny stuff. parents this is a do phone for your kids, they won't be exposed in porn and other wrong things

  • it's Nice BASIC phone. well there is a small catch: MP3 files below the size of 150k, will be supported for ringtones.! n yes if u r looking for good screen resolution, this is definitely not the phone to buy, but if u r looking for simple nice phone to do the work, it is a phone WORTH. Style: is good! Battery life: is OK! rest, all have their own share of experiences :)

  • I bought the phone as a present for my husband who is very much your average Joe and only interested in using the phone as a mobile means of communication only. He had always expressed interest in my SGH-E530 but was always put of by its feminine colour so when I saw the SGH-M310 and a Samasung too I thought I had stuck gold. Although the design is good the graphics leave much to be desired. The font of the text message is so small and thin that it requires the sharp vision of a lynx to read it comfortably. The font cannot be changed into bold and larger font and kept saved since one has to go into options and then font size and then type the message. Then the templates are in good readable font! This defeats the aim of the sms being one of the shortcuts. It is NOT only the young sharp-eyed generation who uses mobiles; older people with failing vision do so too! While scrolling the text pixels apart form being small fade out disconcertingly. This is not made easy by the pop-up windows giving the breakdown of that particular page on the mobile. The icons are also small and difficult to discern on the menu.

  • No MMS it is rediculous ..... model is 2008

  • I just bought a M310 and I cannot seem to add custom words to the predictive text dictionary. The phone gives me the option to ADD when it runs out of predictive options, but when I type the new word pressing OK to add it does nothing. Is this a software fault or am I doing something wrong? I have changed the phone at the dealer and the problem remains. Beyond that the dealer could not help and claimed that since I bought a cheap phone maybe that's just how it is!!

  • i agree with the folks who are unable to play MP3 tunes as a ringtone,message tone etc and no one seems too be able to do anything abt it. The other features are good but the MP3 ringtone ability is misleading for it does not work. maybe somebody will consider the money time and energy spent by the consumer.

  • my display not working very good ..and the mp3 not work on this phone ...... conclusion ..don't buy

  • cro. you want to open .pdf files from a 25dollar phone? are you serious?

  • can anyone say me please if i can open pdf files on this phone?

  • hi.i need to know whether does it play mp3 music or is it just mp3 ringtones only.beacuse i have loaded mp3 music but it doesnt allow me to open it or play.

  • i bought this sh*t for my grandma for christmas and i descided to charge it so she doesnt have to and set everything up for her (ringtone, sms tone, xilophone key tone, background etc.)...(i didnt try the mp3 ringtone function because i thought tone6 is nice for her, anyway...) i descided to put a picture of my family as a wallpaper. i think she'd like that because shes a little oldschool and she wouldnt understand how thats possible, plus this is going to be her first cell. so.. while i was doing all this i realized that it really looks good, but it has a few problems like the kontrast problem that some of you were complaining about. im like ohhh.. the screen is a little sh*tyer than i expected. 65K? WTF man? my brothers creyon set has more colors, anyway i didnt really make such a big problem out of it, but the contrast thing bugged the hell out of me. seriously! i open it, the contrast is good, than i open it 30min. later and the colors are faded. i didnt think anything about it up to the point i found my self reseting it for the 7th time, anyway i got so damn mad i wanted to put it into the blender ...luckly i didnt loose my composure, i took a big breath and took it back to T-Mob. i ask them to exchange it for me and the guy looked at me as if he had brain damage. EXCHANGE IT FOOL! i growled IIII KIIIILLL YOOOUUUUUU!!! (jeff dunham's achmed the dead terrorist) anyhow he replaced it after he understood the situation... took him a while pfff... f**ker. it hasnt been 4 hours its been in my posetion again, and the damn faggot phone is doing it again. made me strait up angry again. my guestion: does anybody know the medication for this defect??? tomorrow im going to take it to the samsung service and if they cant fix it im going to demand my money back because, its a mass-defect phone and the contrast problem wasnt stated on the box, bargained for more than indicated. meaning i have been lied too. if anyone wants to return it and get their money back i suggest you threatn them with consumer protection. thats what im going to do if they have any "if and-s or but-s" regardind the repair or the returnal. this phone is a big disapointment. at least im never geting a samsung again. ...just trying to see the positiv side. buye guys

  • Well... the phone is indeed much more a phone than a multimedia fancy portable "computer". Didn't had the screen problem, not yet at least (two weeks since I have this phone). For the MP3 integration... actually this is possible, but with some "tight" limits: maximum file size = 150Kb I have a 148kb mp3 sound at 128kbps/44100Khz/stereo for the ringtone and works great.

  • In case of an incoming call, can i see the caller's name or phone number on the exterior display?

  • Same with me, I also have to reset the contrast in order to see the screen properly. Some firmware bug?

  • in ma phone deres option set as dats not workin i cant set any odr ringtone in ma phone ....its not supporting any odr song tone xcept its own ringtones...wot shud i do ?

  • can you turn off searching results when type a number?????? please help

  • I have experienced the same problem. Cannot download any ringtones, keep getting "handset undetected" error. Samsung is trying to sort it out though.

  • this phone has mp3 player but only for polyphonic ringtones and not for music. the bluetooth is to download ringtones and pictures from another phone or computer.

  • I got this phone as it was advertised to have mp3 ringtones. Well in fact it cannot assign the mp3 to your ringtone. As for playing the mp3, it cannot even do that. I also thought it could record video but it cannot. It can only snap pics. As for the memory...4megs is so limited for the year 2008. Come on. I think it is a nice phone but HATED being mislead by the false specifications. I am going to try to get it exchanged for a phone that wud suit me best.

  • this phone really is very nice and flexabel

  • This phone has great features but I cannot get the phone to play downloaded mp3. This is a design defect.

  • what phone model should i use to download mxit

  • I have sold many of these phone how ever after this a customer came back with the complaint of being unable to use mp3's they placed on the phone after some research i realised that its a world wide problem i would like to know what can be done to amend for this aparent defect of the phone

  • i bought this phone about 2 weeks ago. everything about it is fine except the fact that the screen sometimes gets blurry without no reason and quite automatically. whenever it happens i have to go to the contrast setting and readjust it. it really drives me nuts.

  • Why i cant play my mp3, even whe he recoknizes them.... Can some one help me?

  • can u play mp3 files on dis cell?

  • I bought this cellphone and had to give it back because I couldn't get access to Vodafone Live with it and it was a general malfunction on every Samsung M310. I would get access but there would be no pictures, only squares in the pictures places and text. This phone is also limited in it's features. The cameras not that good, the screen is colored but looks grainy and the sound is not that good neither.

  • Could you please tell me how long the battery holds? Thank you very much.

  • i love this phone ok
