Samsung C3520 - User Reviews

  • Try 1234, std password

  • it's very good mobile but me iforget pasword helpme

  • Great phone.

  • Obscure, even when it was released.

  • Not as of 1 dec 2016

  • This phone wont work in australia after 1 april 2017 as gsm here closes down

  • I Want is mobile

  • I have been used c3520 for two and half year but now I'm not receiving phone calls from any number and when I switch it off on its writing that the sim profile not .remain or deleted

  • I have had my GT C35201 for quite a while now and as yet have not been able to set up E-mails or use the internet as no one seems to know how to set the thing up I am told its something to do with AT&T, which is no longer, can anyone advise pse?

  • This particular phone is set for 2G signals. 2G network is to be closed by Telstra on the 1st December 2016 therefore making this phone null and void.

  • Its a great phone and pulls-in signals from just about anywhere, but can anyone tell me if the GT-C3520 is 4G compatible?

  • this is a non smartphone so it does not support any apps

  • CCheck with your service provider and confirm you can send and receive pics with your texts. Not all text pkg include pics, sometimes it's a text pkg upgrade.

  • Can instaL Whatsapp messenger?? Or not??

  • Switched provider and now cannot send international text, anyone know why? Company has checked that all is ok with service and also with receiving end able to receive, must be a setting on my phone?

  • turn off bluetooth?

  • To turn on predictive text - create a text message and complete the 'To:' field, go into the message itself and press Options, 6 writing options, predictive text on.

  • please help me - I have a Samsung 3250 and somehow turned off predictive text, can you please tell me how to get it back on - thank you

  • Can anyone advise why my phone would go straight to messagebank instead of ringing.

  • Well if you have a USB cable it's easy, but I am not sure if your phone comes with a USB cable... Just connect the USB cable to your phone and to your PC, and install the software onto your computer... It will prompt you. Then you can open up your phone's memory or access it like the hard drive of your PC. Then just copy and paste

  • why does my samsung gt-c3250 switch itself off for no reason?

  • maybe you can get a cheap nokia battery (not original one), that have similar dimension and voltage, do same hack (add cable etc).

  • I bought my GT-C3520 in December 2015, don't use it much except for the odd phone call and messages but my battery needs to be recharged every other day. I run no apps so I am just a basic phone user. Does anyone have any tips to make my battery life last longer? Is anyone else having the same issue? Thank you.

  • BATTERY DEAD!!!??? Where can I get one? I've searched and searched SO far NO LUCK..... Love the phone....IDEAS welcome/// Anyone want to sell a good battery? hahaha

  • Does this phone work on the Telstra NextG network in Australia?

  • Hi, Can someone tell me if the Samsung C3520 has an option for changing the system language to Greek? Thanks Tony

  • can I start what's app in Samsung c3520

  • does this phone work with microssoft exchange for contacts etc like most modern phones do now days

  • I own one and yes, it does play when its floped

  • Hhey.. I wanna ask, can samsung c3520 playing music when it's flop? I mean we play music and the we close the phone, is it still playing?or not? Thanks

  • It is a great mobile cell phone it's flip top design makes it almost impossible to make UN wanted phone calls unless something slips in and makes it open not as good as the old school Nokia cell phones that were manufactured in south Korea nonetheless an alright phone it will give the user trouble though keep using it or take it back for repairs it is worth it assure you I have Had my Samsung gte c3520 going for more than 1 year now and I am pretty happy with it except that Telstra wants to take down their 2g repeaters at the end of 2016 so in 2017 it will become a useless paperweight until then enjoy the phone plus my advice is to stay away from Telstra bigpond also known as Telstra one once again great phone

  • SMS messages, by definition, are text only. MMS would be used to send pictures.

  • Someone please help me i cant't open my camera,,if i do so then it restarts automatically..

  • On the picture, I can't see the volume button on the side of the phone. So how if someone call me and I just want to silent the phone cause I don't want to pick it up? Should I open the flip first? (In other flip phones you just press the dedicated volume button and the phone would stop ringing if someone called you).

  • You should look up the APN and MMS settings for your service provider, and enter them into your phone.

  • The phone is ok but the SIM card I used doesn't work in it so I need a better one

  • I can't seem to receive photos in an SMS or able to send a photo in an SMS , can anyone assist?

  • sandy key phone

  • It has t9 turn off function. I have already bought it for my mum and it is awesome. Easy to use and functional. However i am using iphone 5s, even I would like to buy for myself. Samsung should keep on production

  • restart problem

  • Can anybody tell me how can I put the videos and pics from this phone to computer please? And where can I get this micro SD up to 16 GB card, that they mention?

  • I cannot find my code to start the phone?

  • use format factory, convert to mobile device mp4, video encode mpeg4, resolution 176x144, video bitrate 512kbps max, fps 23,97, aspect ratio 16:9, audio sample rate 44100, audio bitrate 320.

  • How can I get this phone in a new condition ?

  • If using predictive text a lot the "My word list" keeps emptying out every few times you clear your old messages. Very annoying.

  • I downloaded videos and saved it in my memory card, but when I plug in the memory card into my samsung, it says "unsupported content". Then I tried a lower pixel, which is 340px, but it still won't play. I've also tried 3GP, MP4 720px, and FLV, none of them works, please help me.

  • I am looking for a mobile phone for an elderly person a little hard of hearing. The call volume, without speaker, is important. how does the C3520 stack up on volume compared with other mobiles?

  • simple concept.. back to basic what's the original function of a cell phone back in my days... doesn't promise to perform like a smart phone but sure hell it serve a longer battery life when u urgently working on a field with no technology to cling on.

  • Hi 2 all can used whatsapp at these mobil

  • Love this phone so easy to use, does everything i need even Facebook. I ran over my smart phone :)

  • Hi, I'm from Indonesia and I just bought this phone recently and I found very interesting and stylish for clam-shell type phone and I like it. By the way I've been wondering: 1. How to set received text message saved in the phone? Mine is always automatically saved in SIM card, so I just wonder if I can changed to automatically saved in Phone. 2. Is there any chat application that can be connected with popular chat application such as Whatsapp or Line or Kakao or anything? (so at least I can keep updated and chat with smartphone user) 3. How to delete some system program? In my phone facebook is included in home/main menu, but it's not working so I need to download another facebook app (so there are 2 same apps) Aaand I think that's all for the questions right now, for your attentions, I say thank you guys.

Following that I had another look round for a clamshell and the C3520 is still the best for me. But it's camera is poor and I hate having the change case key on the right where its awkward to use. I can live with just 2 drawbacks :)

  • Does it support Chaton messenger ?

  • I'd like to know does this phone shows waiting at the other party I mean when u call some one and he is having a call does it shows that person is having a call not like smart phone cause I really need that option

  • I don't have the samsung c3520, but have the samsung e3210, and from what I have scene of it so far the menu style on both phones looks the same, and so to get text repition on my phone I go to messaging, settings, general settings and alert repition. See if your phone has this feature or something similar. I hope this helps.

  • This is a great basic phone for those who just want the basic features of calling, messaging, calendaring. and what's more, it is for people who want a big screen and big buttons and like to do one-handed typing. The rough surface feels good in the hand. I don't want a smart phone, because i just hate the toughscreen when you want to type anything. i have a tablet, so i know the dreaded experience of typing on glass. let alone a smaller screen phone compared to my tablet. compared to a qwerty phone, the buttons are big for big fingers. qwerty phones have too small buttons and you can't do 1 handed typing.

  • just bought a Samsung c3520 and i am trying to find out if i missed an incoming call or text message, does the phone automatically prompt me that i have missed the call or that there is a text waithing there for me to read; or do i just have to open the flap and check occasionally if there is one that i have missed. In my previous samsung, if i missed an incoming call it use to continuing prompt me by a 'sound' until i opened it and read it!

  • doesn't support

  • No u can`t download Whatsapp .

  • I am going to hazard a guess and say no. But apparantly has Twitter and Facebook Apps built in.

  • yes. It has the best features for daily use. Call quality and speech audibility is marvelous. What you have to do is set the equalizer to Bass enhancement and you can hear the voice from your caller quite perfectly. I bought this from Indiaplaza , just last week for Rs 2,736.00 by availing 10% discount on their selling price by using MOB10off coupon. I can say this handset is anytime better than NOKIa.

  • Hi All,,,please if I need to just use it in calling & receiving calls as I have no need for the java issue or the sharpness of its camera so all I need is to make a perfect PHONE CALLS so can it make this successfully & perfectly ???? Is it have a perfect sending and receiving performance ???? & I'll find a clear & high ringtone ???

  • Is the camera really autofocus? I see it's just 1.3 MP so I'm curious. Also, can it save photos you take directly to MicroSD? I have an old Samsung D900i which can't so I'm asking because I can get this phone for cheap. :-)

  • Well, I want to tell you all, SAMSUNG GT C3520 is ABLE to install java (j2me) applications more than 500kBytes. If you don't believe you can just comment here and ask for a proof if this trick failed. ~! First, you need to download the *.jar file and the *.jad file. If there is no jar file, you can open the jad file as a text (using notepad etc) and see the url inside. If there is no url inside the jad file, just use the link where you have downloaded the jad and change hxxp......../***.jad to ../***.jar . But if the one missing is the jad file, you can download JadMaker and use it, you can find it by google-ing it. ~! If you have got the jad and jar files (with the same name, only different file type), then place them to a same folder in the microSD card, and insert it in to the Citrus/GT C3520. ~! After that, you just need to use the file manager to open the jad file. Ja~n! just wait, and it is installed. it may sounds difficult but, it is very simple in reality. I knew this trick because in the past I installed an RPG Game, the very popular one-- Final Fantasy 1, it is almost the same as the Playstation version. It needs more than 900 kBytes, and luckily I have the jad file with it, so I am able to install it in my GT C3520. And I'm sorry for the long post. Really. hontou ni hontou

  • awesome cell phone just bought it loving it

  • Font size can/cannot be done in certain viewing area. bottom left/right and menu file name list's font size cannot be changed. when click "options its font size can be changed. menu-settings-display-font style-size 3 options menu-settings-display-dialling display- select custom - small/large its for dialing nos messages- select inbox or sent box- clicking view- select options- zoom view

  • Hi there, can you tell me whether the font size is adjustable on this phone? Thanks

  • Aaaa so many nuuumbers

  • yes, it can zoom.. what appear here is, 1x at downside zoom option, 2x at upside zoom option, so i guess it can zoom maximal 2x, from 1x need 10 click up to 2x option.. maybe that's mean zoom 1,1x, 1,2x, etc.. until 2x things that disturb me is: -no external display, means if u use it much for send sms to many people/call, it's disturbing, u must open and close the flip many times to check who's contact u -keypad too big.. well depend on kinda phone u use before, i use nokia 3600 slide, maybe just a matter of adaptation -dimension of the phone is too big -file name character maximum 50 character.. more than that will unreadable.. u must use usb cable to see the file that not appear in phone file manager then rename it -maximum size photo resolution that can be stored is 2 mp (1600x1200), if more than that will mark as unsuported format file. Means u can't put photo directly from u'r digital camera.. u must edit the resolution first via pc -maximum video resolution that can play is 320x240, more than that will read as unsupported format file -not java-friendly phone.. maximum space for java application is 6 mb, with maximum 500 kb limitation for each application -maximum message storage: 300 -viewing angle is bad Great things: -voice clarity is fantastic -signal reception not bad -i put sandisk 16 gb micro sd.. no trouble -audio quality is great, listen mp3 via headset or speakerphone -no trouble connect to pc as mass storage, simple, fast -backup feature -battery last 4-5 days -2.4 inch display with 262k colour.. clear and big enough -the price is friendly If u're okay with things that disturb me point when use this phone, then go for it.. i use this phone as secondary phone, so it don't disturb me much.. if u want this phone as primary phone, better u look for another phone with same price range :)

  • Did u try other service operator like vodafone/airtel/other? Did u download opera mini 4.4 browser & used in ur mob? I bought today & works well. Youtube video doesnt play since it lacks adobe flash. Do download video files and works well

  • please tell me if the camera on this phone will zoom. are there any parts of using this that are not easy? thanks

  • The manual has been lied to u.. well, not really lie.. it support java application, but max is 500 kB per 1 java application. and u must find the really fit application, example for 240x320 resolution, 262k colour, and can't be up to 500 kB in size.. eitherwise, it won't install. Try to download directly from the web, not copy the jar file from computer, i think it need jad file too.. not only the jar file. This phone is great, cool feature, affordable price, the only drawback is the java application. maximum total java application is 6 MB.. it can't change, and can't store in memory card. If u expect much and will use java application much in this phone, i think u need to sell u'r phone and buy java-friendly phone with same price range, there's a lot out there, but don't with samsung brand.. they are not java friendly. I'm sorry

  • Can anyone help me out?? in My samsung c3520 not a single application or game is getting installed- it says downloaded jar is invalid.. But in manual its noted that it supports java files. Please please please help me. Badly need a solution for this..

  • u're welcome my friend.. happy i can help :) this phone is cool.. i have the black one :)

  • Worked, Thank u soooooo much :D

  • choose u'r own mp3 file for ringtone, edit the db ringtone volume via computer (i usually use mp3gain software), reduce it to 50 db, then transfer the file to u'r phone.. use it as ringtone.. that should done the trick.. gudluck in trying :)

  • Mark all u'r contact in nokia.. Choose option send via bluetooth

  • Yes we can, but if only we play the music via mp3 player.. if u play it via file manager, it will stop when u close the flip

  • No, maximum message storage is only 300 message

  • Press down key while ringing, it will decrease the ringing volume.. keep pressing it until show mute symbol

  • Whatsapp doesn't work for this phone.. this phone is java phone.. if u really need whatsapp, go for nokia symbian or nokia asha series

  • The keypad light out when u press it.. at daylight, or at night.. i own this phone

  • U have faulty error production phone.. i recommend u go to nearest samsung service center in u'r place, use u'r warrant card, then ask for new unit

  • i bought this phone it has problem sometimes wen i call somone i cannot hear voice then person whom i call he can hear my voice but wen i on my phone loadspeaker or handfree i can hear him. wen i restart my phone the problem romeve for few time again problem arrive wat is this problem please guide me.

  • can i add new application that can read my file ( like word file ) in this phone . Or is there any application that can be used to read word file on this phone ? thanks befre for your reply.

  • Hi all.. Do we have conference call facility on this mobile ?

  • can you please tell me if the keypad lights up at night/in the dark??

  • I like it! Better than my LG GW305 (similar to GW300 but the buttons placement is different), and I like it more than my Galaxy Mini. Well, it's compact, easy-to-use with big buttons, and I like the SNS-thingy that will upload any photo to popular photo sharing website like Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, etc. Not only that, It is installed with palringo, MSN Messenger and Yahoo Messenger. It's so benri (in japanese, Idk what the correct english word). And yes, I wish it got a small screen outside to see the time and caller identity, and I hope the camera was not on the lower (keypad&hw) part, but on the upper (screen) part,, because it's a bit difficult to prevent big-hands appear because the lens was covered with our hand. Well, other than that It is a great phone in fact. It's cheap, not a smartphone, but I feel.. I like to use this phone rather than a smartphone. It's like 'better to use the computer rather than a smartphone to do something else because it is so small and the battery is drained like crazy when I use its camera, internet, wifi, or just playing around'. It made my Galaxy Mini a bit useless, but I love all of my phones! (Siemens C35, C65, Sony Ericsson K510i, LG GW305, Samsung Galaxy Mini, C3520 Citrus, and the phone I've sold in a monetary crisis, Sony Ericsson J210i, and T630i,)

  • Good choice for those who can not see keys very good. keys are big enough and separated and every one especially old men can easily find and press them. That is a nice gift for parents.

  • this phone is wonderfull..i just bought it,,the price is veryyy gud for this kind of mobile,,i have the pink one,,la fleur,,oh wow am very satisfied..

  • can anyone tell me whatsapp work on this cell

  • any firmware updates yet? bit laggy text..if they infact do any cmon sammy-sung.

  • Hi how to install opera mini on this phone? I download and install the jar file but when try to open it shows "Java Error"

  • The Phone Rocks.

  • I love this phone. I am planning to buy one for my mom and dad, they just use calling, texting and sometimes the camera. I really like the look and care about battery talk time. For seniors, i always prefer a slide or flip phone, it is easy to pick up and hang up with one move. The only thing i wished to have, is an outer display so you can identify the caller and if you want to answer, you just flip the phone. the rest i really like the look and the features.

  • can anyone tell me how much is the sms memory of the c3520? samsung allways have a limit of 300 sms, but on the specs list of this phone it says 28mb+sim. that means "unlimited" and would be a great suprise.

  • @password thing You can use password to lock your phone. You can even select what menu (ex. Message, Call Log, My Files, etc) you want to lock with a numeric password. @speeddial thingy I don't know what it does, but If you mean press a button to dial a specific number, you can. If you mean a selectable shortcut in the home screen, you can do that too (like a nokia phone ex. E61) @music-flip thingy Yes, it won't stop the music but you must play the music via the Music menu,. If you access the music via my files it will stop. @dial-a-contact thingy Just open your contact (right key on home screen) and press left key once (to navigate to Favorite number which allows you to call specific number with only holding a button in the home screen for a second) THIS PHONE is great! cheaper (but flip), it fulfill all my needs! you can even backup anything to your microSD card. The down side is the joints in not very steady (or just me), you can't use a high-memory java apps too long (ex. Opera mini HiFi ver.), and the calculator is too basic (no log, sin cos tan, sqrt ,etc).

  • How do I unlock my phone? I am in the Bahamas

  • I would like to unlock my at&t cell phone Thanks.

  • I think large font for composing too, i like it for Viewing no option for composing, next update then be perfect..

  • How do you set up speed dialling on the C3520, i.e. pressing a number to dial a contact?

  • menu - apps - bluetooth - options - settings - bluetooth off ^^

  • niceeee :) liked it :)

  • Can this phone support whatsapp?

  • So I just bought it today, so far so good. The camera quality is awesome even though it's only 1.3 mpx, internet is so-so (EDGE), interface is easy, music plays nicely, typing is easy with it's big rubber button, and it's toughly build. One thing that annoys me though is that when you close the phone, it closes everything (apps and everything), even when you're typing a message. I'm still trying to find if there's a setting to avoid this. Any one knows how??

  • Menu>App>Bluetooth, took me a while to figure this out -__-"

  • can any one please support to till mew how i can transfer the contact of my nokia to my new samsung . thanks.

  • Dudes, I am planning on buying this phone soon but before that can you answer some of my questions? 1. Can it install Whatsapp? 2. How long can the battery last on music? 3. Is it strongly build? (Clamshell seems more likely to break but it looks cool though)

  • nice

  • I just want to say one thing about Samsung fold it type phones. I have one of these and it had fallen out of my Ram 2500 truck. I ran over it with the front driver side wheel, except for a cracked screen it is still working good. One tough telephone.
