Samsung C5212 - User Reviews

  • Please beware. There is a widely known fault with this phone that Samsung are trying to conceal. Moreover it concerns its central raison d'etre, the dual SIM capability. Many users on a number of forums around the world, and now including myself, have units that hang on startup when 2 SIMs are used with the words "SIM initialising". The problem does not occur when a single SIM is used. Various users have developed workarounds that sometimes work, but Samsung themselves appear to want to pretend this problem does not exist. I was personally told by them that "the phone is not a UK model, therefore they do notsupport it". This despite the fact I purchased it in the UK.As I said, think twice before purchasing this product, when its manufacturer is so reluctant to support it core feature when it goes wrong.

It's battery is so poor that I can't even call beacause all the charge finish when I make a call. Always when I listen to music for five minutes battery becomes low and I can't even call. Really poor.

  • My battery was draining within a day. I took it to repairs agent "The Phone Company" 3 times within the 1st month, but no solution. Finally i tracked down the email addresses of senior management of the local agent "John Keels", and started writing emails. This resulted in proper repair after the fourth attempt. Pathetic service for a superb product.

  • How can i play video song

  • I've a problem with handsfree calling. My Samsung standard headphone is not working when I am calling. But it's working when I play music. What can be the problem?

  • But phone's sound is very nice. Camera is not clear. Videos shot by this phone are also not clear. Display's colours are also not good. Internet surfing speed is also bad. Mobile tracker is also not included. No key for multi tasking as in snow ericsson. But one thing is better you can lock your contacts, files, messages etc. Phone's processor is its main dip advantage

  • This is not a wonderful or awesome phone. Neither it is a very fast phone. This phone can't handle even a very little multi tasking such that if you are listening the music while typing a message or surfing internet or chatting on a java application then phone's processing will go slow. It does not possess true multi tasking like sony ericsson. Neither the phone's processor is as much fast like sony ericsson.

  • i wanna purchase

  • in low prise range duos it is the best. it is 100% duel activ sim,battery backup min 2 days,cam is not so good.

  • This Set is not having Call Divert option?

  • will i get beep noise & missed call sign when i am speakin on 1 number & there is an incoming call on the other 1 one.?????? wil that caller will get a call waitin message??? heard the battery is bad ,, i need the battery @least 2 day standby & abt 5 hrs talk time in a day......?? plz help

  • could you tell me that if i am speaking on the 1st sim & a call comes in my 2nd sim parallely.. wil i hear a beep sound & will it display missed call alert.. & will the caller hear a call waitin message or an unavailable message. 1 mre thin howz the battery?????

  • yaa...you can buy it. i am using it last 4 month. good phn

  • i would like to buy a dual active sim mobile, when i use one no if call comes in another no whether it will com in second line or not, Pl suggest me can i buy this phone?

  • phone is quiet best for dual sim low price but battery is not dependable at all you must carry charger with u

  • thanks, very useful tip.

  • Phone is good. My problem is second line is not working why?

  • i got ths phne 1 month back... most convenient phone in case of dual sim aspect...worst phone in case of multimedia aspects... notable drawbacks are 1.u cant add more than 120 mp3 to the music player 2.user guide sucks 3.camera menu sucks 4.cant play mp4 video with aac codec audio.only plays amr codec. 5.trying for one month to connect to pc studio...but it wont get connected to pc.fed up. 6.u cant run java apps from phone memory or memory card..an unknown folder named "games and more" is somewer in this phone.jar apps are only detected from this folder.

  • For switching over to the other sim do this:press any number and then operate the top right side key for switching.No need for rebooting.

  • my second line doen't work why?

  • The sim swaping action takes time, if we like to swap the sim card the phone shutsdown & reboots again thereby consuming about a minute or so.It is not the same in samaung 2652 sim card can be swaped in no time ,but 2652 is dual standby only (no call waiting facility) where as 5212 is dual active(call waiting available)

  • Whenever i use my phone for some few minutes i normally see a display on my phone which always says 'network unavailable'. i don't know how to go about it, kindly help me out.

  • I had bought this phone a year ago.. I am very much satisfied with the performance and suggest you to buy

  • Plz help urgent.... any one have dis phone den tell me.. may i buy this phone????any one tell me real fact ....

  • go to menu>file manager>press right key. (see top icon) [email protected]

  • Actually Dear, This Phone is having 4 music player list, so u can keep silent song in one list, another romantic songs, another DJ Sound song/Dance songs, another mix songs....u can choose and enjoy as ur wish....

  • My Dear this is a gentle user mobile...so go with its ahead... ThanQ

  • no way.........

  • hello, can anyone tell mehow to change message alert tone

  • Camera - fair DUN - not work on secondary SIM JAVA - less memmory Video playr - very week

  • this set has music lists are not continuos.only limited songs are in play music player.more much games are not supported.continous videos are also not supported.themes are not supported.

  • dear every samsung phone have this problem

  • It is Dual Active & not Dual Stand by

  • Yes it (Samsung C5212) has two antenna.. as one is independent to other SIM in call & MSG also .. If u r on call in 1st SIM.. at the same time if u receive a call in 2nd SIM.. u will get alert for 2nd SIM call as beep sound , but the Pearson who is calling in 2nd SIM will hear a ringing sound only.. He will not get any call waiting or beep sound Also u can switch to the SIM2 call.. by putting the SIM1 in hold , as no need to cut the SIM1 call to attend the SIM2 call

  • does this mean that you can recieve calls at the same time, i mean does it have call waiting option or as tehy say 2 antenas

  • dual standby means you can actually recieve messages at the same time and you can see both sim card updates on messages or missed calls.. and it can both recieve calls at the same time.. in short.. much better than just switching-sim phone like nokia c1 but they have finnaly this so called nokia x1-01.. dual standy also and good, but its not the same with this samsung c5212 features.. see specs.of (nokia x1-01)

  • I'm using it since few days..since 2yrs I was uning SAMSUNG Star(it was OK) But in C5212 SMS Capasity and sending problem... It's sending one by one from a group or others on that time u have to wait and have 2 press exit from ur mob. I think "It's Total Samsung mob.'s problem" Still C5212 have exlent call facility...

  • Can u share the model number of 1500 mAh battery.. whci you thought to use in C5212 mobile

  • I don't know what is dual stand by, but to tell you: on this phone you can recieve calls on both simcards at the same time so you don't have to choose between them and when you want to make phone calls or send messages you can switch between sim cards with a simple button... It's a perfect phone as a dual sim but it's just that it's a basic phone with its menu and functionnality! I also had a problem with its melody ringing quietly for a few seconds when you recieve a call! I don't know if it's my phone or is it a bug with the model...

  • is this phone a dual stand-by sim? I need an answer.

  • I am buying the phone last week. I am not able to do internet via bluetooth.can anybody help me....in the phone the internet connection is ok...but when i try to connect with pc it is not working.even though i can not get proper pc suit for it.

  • Hello everyone, I have this phone since two days, and I noticed that when someone calls me, the phone starts ringing at a very low level for about 2 or 3 seconds before to suddenly increase ringtone volume to maximum! I also checked the ringing mode, and made sure to set it on melody and not on increasing melody! But the problem is still there! Do you have the same problem? Or is it just my phone? Thx

  • Hello everyone, I have this phone since Two days, and I noticed that when some one calls me, the ringtone starts with a low sound at the beginning for about 2 or 3 seconds before it suddenly increases volume! And I made sure to choose Melody and not increasing melody but the problem is still there! Do you guys have this problem or is it only my phone? Thx

  • I have bought my sumsung C5212 mobile phone almost 9months now and still under warrant, the mostly problems experienced from my phone if you dont check it regulary you may find switching off/on itself, as well as do not delete some massages when received, I sent the phone to the aggent for check up and get done but still the same problem as before, I wonder why this happened, Can any one know and tell me what is the probable cause and remedies please.

  • dual sim change is fast.. however other features like last call is terribly slow.. unlike philips dual sim x710 text messages or sms are not sent atomatically from the same carrier but from the active one.. still good enough since its dirt cheap..

  • It gives only 4-5days on standby

  • its just the best phone i have ever used i only get problem with using some applications on it...

  • One of the best hand set I have ever seen for the middel class people.

  • one of the best dual sim active mobile, iam using it since last 12 months, only one small problem is it's sms storage is 200 limit. and Dual Sim function is GREAT. IT is a winner among all Dual SIM active moblie available in the market , and at the very low prices.

  • I just bought my Samsung C5212. The battery life is not that bad. Actually it's fairly good. However, the sound quality is most unsatisfactory, both in music and during calls.

  • not worth for music lovers.... default only has 4 playlists which holds 30 songs, so what is the use of 8gb card.... and ring tone when set to vibrate and melody, the melody does not start first meaning that the vibration starts first and the melody is very low and then suddenly sounds..... thinking of changing the phone.

  • i am using this phone for last 6 months. + points -good phone design, easy to carry. -good dialing pad and big screen -battery life is good bcse we hve to look it as Dual Active phone. - easy to switch between sim before caling. - decent camera in day even with out flash. pic is good when we saw it in computer.(need to adjust seetings to daylight & copy pic to ur P Cor laptop ) -ives -if we use calling volume high soung is bluring. -my first sim slot having clarity problem if i put calling volume above 5. -i doubt it had more radiation problem. bcse after 3-4 minutes use ears getting irritative pain. and some times phone getting hot. total rating: look and design - 4.5/5 call audio quality - 2.5/5 other functions - 3.5/5 worth a buy if tht sound quality is better after we increse call volume.

  • it will not reboot while switching sim. it will reeboot only if we change default sim .no need to change default sim while u want to make a call. press the switch key in right top to change calling sim after selecting contact no or typing.

  • can I use Samsung C5212 as internet modem over bluetooth?

  • Hi Friends, I decide to buy this mobile c5212, my main question is What about voice clearity that Can we get the hearing capacity is clear ? And What about Battery charge capacity, Can we use atleast 2 Days ? Pls tell your suggestion in this regard.

  • youtube is not working ?

  • inbox capacity is low.....

  • I have been using Samsung 5212 for the past 8 months. It was very good and user friendly. Last two months back My default sim was not working. i have changed the other also. still it is not working . please suggest me some solutions?

  • sad to say but it will not really work on USA, Canada, Mexico and most countries of South America since it does not support GSM band 850/1900 which are being used by these countries. find another samsung model which has quad band (850/900/1800/1900) support.

  • CAn anyone say how to take contacts backup without PC suite

  • i have bought 3 models of the c5215i and i have no problems with it, but my only worry is about the life span of the battery, it only last for a day and that is very bad. i need some explanation.

  • I bought this phone - C5212i - one week ago: My Experience: 1. Excellent Battery Life. 2. Poor Call Audio Quality (disappointed on this count). 3. Both SIMS are simultaneously active. You can easily switch from one sim to another (no rebooting) - for calling. 4. Not a Smart Phone. Not sure if you can install any applications on it. 5. FM Radio, as usual with antenna only. 6. FM Radio recording is available. 7. Ordinary 1.3 MP camera. 8. Bar Shaped, easy to grasp. 9. Menu Screen is not good, does not highlight what is the selected menu item properly. 10. No Data Cable included. I only got charger and FM Antenna cable with it. Where can i buy USB data cable for this phone. Main reason i bought this phone was that - i wanted a Dual SIM (GSM,GSM) phone for reasonable price(Rs 5k range) from a reputed company. I was actually looking for Android Dual SIM phone - but could only find Macromax phones or very costly recently released Motorola phone.

  • can i use this model in the usa? i am now here in the us and my samsung c5212 is not working, can you do something about this so that i can use it here? thank you

  • can any one tell me what is the difference between samsung c5212 and Samsung C5212i

  • I bought this phone from Amazon and it was shipped from Germany. After charging and switching it on it's all in German which I dont understand. How can I configure it to English?

  • is it necessary to install any application every time to use?where will the application installed will be saved?

  • Can we change the sms alert to any Mp3 or other supported formats of our choice or are we restricted to those usual 5-8 sms alerts like in samsung old phones?

  • Wrong! When you enter numbers manually or you are in the call register or in the phonebook, you can choose the dialing SIM with the side SIM change button. There is a indicator, which moves between the two SIM signal indicators and there is no need to set the default SIM again or restarting the phone. You can switch the two SIMs this way, even when you write messages.

  • There is an Option--after dialing a nmbr-select the Right side Button--the sim will get selected as De-fault....

  • please give me the link for kd player.I searched in the net but getting some problems

  • Hi Download KD player & install. its create own playlist & add lot of files.

  • use opera mini 4

  • no frinds me having c5212 and i think its just gr8 cell for dual sim and for changing from sim one to sim two just press a small botton on right sind of cell ,

  • By entering a number (i .e. 3) and pressing the button on the right side, you can change SIMs (undocumented feature).

  • before you say any word from this phone kindly read the manual and understand what it says....don't use your eyes and tongue before reading the manuals... (IMBA) you can change sim1 to sim2 easily, when texting click the button on the right side not the volume button, it's above the camera button....

  • if you want to switch SIMs, just open Call Log and then press the button for siwtch SIMs. voila, there is no longer neccesarry to restart your phone.

  • need to know how to change to other sim... it kept asking for sim password... help....

  • Samsung C5212 is not a good option for dual SIM, because if u want to call from SIM 2 while you have set SIM 1 as a default u hav to set SIM 2 default, then it get rebooted automatically & then u can call from SIM 2. This process takes long time. Moreover it doesn't hav a reminder facility.

  • go for c5212

  • I don`t understand why can`t you use the memory card for messages too. I think it`s a big problem on some Samsung phones or on this model only. I don`t know..

  • ya it is a very good, but message memory should be more .

  • Hi Guys, I want dual SIM and both SIM works at the same time can you suggest me which one is best either C5212 or chat322 model

  • I am using this phone since august 2009 and I must say that it is good for what it was built for, but it has a lot of downs. You can only have 200 messages in inbox + sentbox (on the internal memory + on the 2 sims combined) even if you have a memory card, so if you send a lot of messages on a daily basis like I do it`s not recomended for you. It can be very frustrating. You can`t apply other themes only the ones in it (3 standard themes). The camera is modest, when you scroll down the pictures it moves very slow depending on the size of them, I had a picture of about 2400x1900 that I put on the phone and it couldn`t read it. I had to resize it to put it as a wallpaper. You can transfer games on the phone but it won`t recognize them or I didn`t find any games for this phone yet. I`m just waiting for Gigabyte to release the GSmart G1310..

  • Better choose samsung c5212 its a great phone! Its dual active/standby sim makes it perfect no worries of missing a call even if ur using the other sim in a call the other sim would still ring if theres an incoming call,great camera for a 1.3 mp phone,superb music and sound esp. with headset...longer battery life mine can last for 3 to 4 hours talktime.go for it!

  • dont buy dis phone i hav lot of problem

When you press you will noticed the sim signal indicator will switch. For sms is also the same .type your text and then press the top side button. Hope this will helps.

  • i want to buy this phone,plz tell me Call recording while talking & audio recording is available in it or not? Somebody plz do reply!thnk u.

  • I think the C5212 is a completely fantastic fone,its functionality is supreme, ive gt one and i can rightly say that its all i need....

  • thanx, amir

  • the password is 0000

  • I figured this out lately and it can be done as follows. press the call button and then u get the last contacts list. on this screen, press the sim toggle button and thats how u can switch from one sim to other to make calls or send messages . try this and u wouldnt have to restart anymore. tc

  • C5212 is a g8 phone with almost all features packed at a very reasonable price. Although there r certain issues that i would like to point out as the message memory is too low with just an overall storage space of 200 messages and also the user navigation has been a problem for most of samsung phones. as for example if u need to activate bluetooth u need atleast 3 key clicks to get it done and is quite long as compared to nokia interface. The call quality is g8 and the phone does a g8 job as a music player too. The camera does a fine job at nite shots and provides enough options for fine tweaked shooting and is quite ok for the price that it is offered for. In all, a phone i would reccomend if u r on a tight budget and also looking for a dual sim phone.

  • this is the bes fne in dual sims i have ever seen.........

  • Hi All, C5212 is an excellent Dual Sim Mobile by Samsung, 1 question... whenever i tried to delete multiple contacts, its asking password... can anybody help me to sort out this problem with correct password... Thanx

  • Samsung C5212 default password 00000

  • Hi All, Please can you share the experience of the phone on 3G network. Thanks!

  • a very good dual phone . both sims active at same time . no call can be missed . purchased @4650 . voice is very clear . value for money .

  • the phone is good if you wanna use 2 sims 2gther...bt the main drawback is poor message memory..the cell cannot save more than 200 msg including inbox, drafts, sent. folder etc...so you have to keep deleting ur valuable msgs every time....another defect is it has just four palylist where u can save songs i.e. jst 120 songs at a time.. u cnt play all songs at one go..... cell phone display is good, keypad too is comfortable, and cam is also ok.....video player is bad... .phone memory is excessively weak..

  • quite a good mobile though the camera is not as good as sony ericsson but if you are looking for a cheap dual sim, this is a good investment.

  • @ any user... please advise me whether below facility available or not. that is... making a conference call by using both sim cards together at one time. please reply ASAP..

  • good

  • Can make call from one SIM only. Can receive in both SIM. To switch the active sim phone has to be restarted. Music Player has only 4 Playlists each one supporting only 30songs. so maximum 120 files can only be played in the Music player. other wise you have to delete the files in the playlist and add new files which has to be done in phone only , not playlist creation via PC suite.

  • This fone originally is supposed to support an 8G memory card. Why does it then give the message "Not allowed" and doesn't see the card after it had seen it for a short while? P.S. I put a 4G memory card and I got the same message again later after it had worked for a while.

  • Hey Dev, Thanx for the info. you are almost correct but a little correction. Dual standby means both the sim will be in standby (not in call but are ready to receive or make call)condition. Hence whoever makes a first call on any number, it will accept but... at the same moment the other number goes to "unreachable" or "out of coverage" condition. This kind of facility is called Dual standby Single active. Models which can make 2 call simultaneously are called Dual Standyby Dual active. Samsung is first in introducing this term. However GURU series might not be Dual active but Dual standby.

  • Really good phone.Was waiting eagerly for the Nokia Dual sim:( At first had problems understanding this phone now its kickass the Dual standby is awsome and on the fly change of the default sim is excellent.

  • I have a C5212 model and my Phone book in phone memory is full. How do I transfer this to a external PC? I have 1000 phone numbers and can copy only 250 numbers to each sim.

  • @ DEV Excellent feedback and its 100% useful .. thanks dude Yes, ur r right that dual standby means u can make/receive calls using both sims at the same time, and this phone does that thing. try this - Call a no.(may be customer care, it will be free) from sim1 & goto option & add new call then use the network switch to change the network and dial another no. from sim2, thus u can swap between the two network while on both calls using network changing switch. Limitation: u can't hav conference using both sim but only one. Another thing, in a non dual standby phone when u r busy on one sim, & if someone makes calls on another sim he hears that the no. is switched off/ not reachable. Which is not in the case of dual standby phone

  • you can switch between sims without restarting mobile, i.e. when you go to contacts or calls or SMS, click on sim change button. dialing sim will be changed. you can receive calls on both nos

  • The phone is easy to use. It has dual sim standby which is better than other mobiles which are China made and various Indian companies just put their sticker on it to sell them here in India. These mobile companies dont have dual standby so when your call is in progress on one sim and a person calls you on your other sim, he will get a not reachable or out of coverage

  • On 3 September 2010, I purchased a Samsung C5212 mobile phone. I have always had Motorola phones in the past. However, I heard that Samsung makes great phones. The C5212 also allows for two SIM cards. Because it was the first time I purchased a Samsung phone, I did a lot of research to choose the right one. After charging it, I spent a great deal of time getting my contacts into the phonebook. I also loaded some of my favorite MP3s and other ringtones via Bluetooth from my old phone. I was happy with the C5212 and even began suggesting to some friends that they should get one. My first problem occurred when I tried to find Samsung software to sync my phone with my computer. After several Google searches, I discovered Samsung New PC Studio. I downloaded it and installed it. However, it would not launch. It would try to launch but after about 10 minutes it would abort. I tried to uninstall it, but I could not do that, either. I then found Samsung PC Studio 3. This installed and launched just fine on my Vista computer. However, when I plug in the USB cable from my C5212, the program does not recognize that the phone is plugged in. I suspect that it is a driver issue, but I cannot find a C5212 driver online. The second and most serious problem that I encountered happened only 5 days after I purchased the phone. I turned the phone on in the morning when I got up and slipped it into my pocket on my way out the door. About 2 hours later, when I wanted to make a call, the phone was off. I tried but I could not get it to turn on. As I write this, I am no closer to getting my phone to start than I was two days ago. My contacts cannot be accessed. So far, I am not impressed with Samsung. Does anyone know how I can reset and restart my phone? Does anyone know what software will allow me to synchronize my phone and computer? Does anyone know how I can connect with an actual Samsung customer service representative?

  • it is very good phone for dual sim feature. it is not required to reboot to switch betn two sim.

  • I hv purchased this phone and m very much satisfied with d ph but I always wanted to display my name on the screen this option is not available as there is no banner/text option is available

  • can v use both the sims at a time?

  • The phone will absorb all sounds from surroundings then our sound. so always complaint from other side

  • can any one can give suggestion dat only one sim should be activated for waiting call while the other must not be activated....

  • SAMSUNG C5212 Is a very good mobile. Value for money, You can use both SIM at a same time by pressing right side toggle button.

  • hi i m from delhi plz suggest me i m so cnfused about SAMSUNG C5212 i like to purchase this??????? i m faces lots of comments on sites about this phone......................................... bt lots of cnfuse plz tel me i m purchage or not???? thanks

  • It is true the battery life is only 1 hour

  • It is requested to all my friends not to purchase samsung product(esp.mobiles)because of lower standard handset as per price and very poor service from company service centre (specially at bhubaneswar,odisha centres)

  • battery standard is very worst.actual standby is only 1 hour instead of 10 hours as specified by the company.

  • it is a good fone,i had not initially understood the sim switch key utility..now tht i kno its so easy to switch between the two sims..its a very user friendly fone.thr r problems with msg typing.a lil slow i believe.but otherwise overal worth the price.im happy with it.

  • howz net surfing..?

  • its a very cool practical phone .. which it does what is made to do perfectly..buy it :)

  • You need not to reboot for making calls, Just type the no and press call switcher button on right side of phone and select any sim.

  • its a nice set better to use,the only problem v cant make call from both sim unless v reboot,otherwise the set is worth for rs 5k

  • The samsung C5212 is a fantastic phone , Thx Samsung

  • I just got a samsung c5212 and I'v tried to browse but it just wont browse. Please, what can I do?

  • I bought this phone from The Phone Company PLC Sri Lanka. I am really sorry about the quality of the phone I found in Sri Lanka. It looks like a cheap Chinese phone. Very heavy. The display doesn't have enough features to make the phone looks better. I am not happy with the price for this phone too. Worth only about 60% of the price. :(

  • Hello Sathish, I am using this C5212 dual SIM for last 6 months. I ma happy with it. It's not gr8 phone but its utility phone in dual SIM category. Regarding your query, you don't need to reboot the cell. Once you set both the SIM Cards as primary and secondary respectively... You just have to type the call number and THEN you have to use the SIM swap key which is at right side... That's the easiest way to swap the sims???

  • Very poor service by company. They themselves are unable to repair it in warranty period. Since last 40 days mine phone is laying with them and they are unable to rectify it. Do not buy the phone.

  • i thought of throwing this mobile into dustbin becaz i believed that to call from another sim number i need to reboot this .. guys over here had given the clues that it is not to be so .. and i found the way how to do it which is as simple as 123.. thanks a million for saving a heart burn or two

  • Please beware. There is a widely known fault with this phone that Samsung are trying to conceal. Moreover it concerns its central raison d'etre, the dual SIM capability. Many users on a number of forums around the world, and now including myself, have units that hang on startup when 2 SIMs are used with the words "SIM initialising". The problem does not occur when a single SIM is used. Various users have developed workarounds that sometimes work, but Samsung themselves appear to want to pretend this problem does not exist. I was personally told by them that "the phone is not a UK model, therefore they do not support it". This despite the fact I purchased it in the UK. As I said, think twice before purchasing this product, when its manufacturer is so reluctant to support it core feature when it goes wrong.

  • voice records are available when i m calling in samsung 5212

  • Thanks a lot for answer. Its a good phone for this price. I'll buy it & let others know a bit more about this phone, soon.

  • Hello Can someoner is it possible to install document viewer in samsung c5212????

  • You can get calls from any sim card provided you are not already engaged in a call with the other sim. suppose you are using sim1 and someone calls u on sim2, then the caller will get "call-waiting". If both the the sims are on standby, u'll get calls from any of the sims.

  • This phone looks good & the features will be definately much better than micromax etc dual sim phones. But what I wanna know is that can the two sims work at the same time ?? i.e. dual standby!! In my views a phone is dual sim only when it can get in-calls for any of the sim at any time without switching between them.

  • and also raakali

  • The feedback below is for people like RAVI.

  • The samsung C5212 is a fantastic phone. I've noticed that many people complain about the phone rebooting when you have to change sims. well if you want to make calls without rebooting the handset, just punch in the desired number or select number from contacts AND THEN change the sim with the dedicated button. you'll see how convenient it is. Same goes for msg. Surprisingly even the people selling it don't know about this feature. I guess the same goes for the other samsung dual sim mobiles though i have'nt tried 'em. Just think. if u were to reboot the phone to change the sim card why would they provide the "sim change dedicated key" when u can always do it by switching the phone on and off. AYA.

  • is the phone cdma and gsm or only gsm?

  • how to deactivate one sim without taking it out ....so that it will work with only one sim ?

  • You will be hearing a beep sound when ur on a one sim call and call comes to another sim and the caller knows ur on another call, only in samsung only this feature working and in others like fly. micromax etc the other sim person will hear the customer is out of reach.

  • Be aware of Micromax dual sim. SAMSUNG dual sim has both sims working at a time Micromax dual sim, only one works at a time, For eg:- if you are talking to ur buddy on one sim, if other buddy calls u on other sim, samsung will have call waiting where as in Micromax u hear switched off.

  • Yes, the call will reach you. The person on the other end will get a waiting tone..

  • if we are busy on one sim and the person is calling on another sim what will be the response, either it will reach to me or the person will not be able to call me on other sim

  • i think u r wrong or u dont hve full knowledge just type numbr u eant to call and use the sim change dedicated key its simple

  • i own a samsung c5212..its battery life is pathetic,to say the least..moreover just yesterday i was syncronizing mah cell phonebook,using samsung pc studio, with mah lappy for backup...but after syncronizing 5 contacts pc studio hung up.....i had to close it forcefully...after dat mah phonebook in mah cell is nt being displayed when i open contacts or phonebook..but still d numbers r dere in mah phone...bt y is d phonebook not being displayed?????can ny1 help???plleaseeee.....

  • the best cell phone ever.......... vbattery backup is also best compared 2 nokia lg and other cell phone i feel proud that i chose wonderful phone,,,,,,,

  • Nice phone.But donot able to connect internet with pc.Give suggestions

  • i want to know about that cell that what kind of application it supports becuase i installed .jar files but the cell did not support this kind of files over all the best phone i found as compared with nokia

  • when i used it for first time , am surfing to call or dial by the other sim , that every time i had to reboot it to call from the other sim , but actually i learn from this site that no need to reboot the phone , just press your number and before dial press the key that change the sim then you can dial from the other one . ohhhh that really my big problem but now solved .

  • battery back up is nice. initially ihad also problem but found out that due to weak coverage signals from one sim the phone was consuming more power in search mode.changing sim with strong signal(range)rectify the problem. overall IT"S EXCELLENT PHONE USER FRIENDLY ONE

  • Good Fone in terms of functionality. practical, no frills. Music quality decent, standard samsung, with equlizer setting. Good Music player, with all shortcut keys and background playing option...that was missing in earlier fones. Camera OK. Image editing provided. switching between sims xtremly convenient, with the dedicated button provided at the right side. Can't believe that many ppl still don't know abt it, despite the issue having sprung up here many times. Customizable home screen....no huge date date/time displays that u cannot eliminate unlike the c250. Looks decent....almost high end (By popular opinion). A mobile cover vendor actually restarted my fone to know the model number, earning a huge rebuke from me. After that i made him take out almost all the covers in his shop and left without buying one on the negative side, xtremly heavy....feels like a dumbbell. browsing through memory card a bit on the slower side, especially if u use transition effects. file size LIMITED in third party applications that can be installed. Battery can last for a day with average use of calling, texting and music combined. with minimal use, u can stretch it to 2.5 days max. And the worst, worst worst part....just 200 msgs inclusive of inbox, drafts, sent items and saved items. Just not enuf for the average youngster. Consider this single point that is a turnoff for many. If u're comfortable, go ahead and buy...u won't regret it. Cheers!!!

  • phone is not a good battery phone: If you want to get free nokia 5233 visit link below:

  • one more good feature is the search contacts by just typing 3 consecutive digits we remember from the number, and it will display all the possibilities

  • im sorry, i guess i just learned from reading another post that it is possible to switch it one the fly. either dial the number then press the sim button on the right, or just select the number from your contacts list and then press the button. this sure made me love this phone so much more.. now i have to wonder how samsung is able to get 10 hours of talk time out of this phone, i seriously doubt it.

  • there doesn't seem to be a way to select which sim you want to make a call out of on the fly. what you have to do is change the default sim, which requires the phone to reboot, taking a bit of time and is a hassle. this phone can accept calls from either sim on the fly, but not make calls. i get a business call or text from sim 2 but my phone is set to default on sim 1. if i call or text back immediately without switching the default sim to sim 2, it will mean the business guy will have my personally number to call and bug me. this is not cool at all if i don't want him to know my number. i am still looking for a dual sim phone that is truly dual sim. hopefully the nokia c2 will fix this problem.

  • thanks a lot.

  • how can i change Ringtone of messages?

  • Hey dears, please don't buy samsung c5212 it has many drawbacks. company gives surity that battery supports for up to 10 hrs of talk time in fact i have recharged it twice daily. battery supports only one hour and thirty minutes. More camera result is not good at all at 1.3 MP. Speaker sound is poor. it is not wet resistant in normal monsoon.SMS memory is very short it saves only 200 msgs in all boxes.I have replaced the piece thrice but problems were not solved.try any other local indian mobile like Karbonn, Intex ,Micromax are 500 time better than samsung c5212 and and also cheap 60% than samsung duos.

  • c5212

  • no sir, just dial the number and toogle the side SIM key it will change without reboot the phone.

  • Thanks for your reply.but can you tell me about net browsing. is it good. how about the speed

  • Hey, actually you need not reboot the mobile for swapping the SIMs .. While having the number to be called on the screen, just press the swapping button on the right of the phone .. Automatically it toggles the SIMs .. You can notice it on the screen in the top left corner where it shows the signal strength ..

  • excelent phone

  • i have know this is best,,,,,

  • hi friends can you pls tell me the net surfing experience on this phone? does it support youtube? pls tell me i want to have this phone pls pls pls

  • This model is really good but has a drawback, whenever we switch SIMs then the phone is rebooted which is really a pain. We cant afford to use both the SIMs to call or message. When a particular SIM is a fefault one, then you can make calls from this SIM but you can get calls or receive messages from the other SIM

  • can someone please share his/her battery life experience for the phone? i.e. for how many days it lasts for 1 charging etc.

  • how much should we rate this phone out of 10?

  • Can anyone tel me how much sms i can save in this phone ??? Pls tel me i want to buy this phone.

  • can someone please share his/her battery life experience for the phone? i.e. for how many days it lasts for 1 charging etc.

  • In recent Dual SIM phones, no need to reboot to use the second SIM. Either you would have a separate key to dial/SMS through the second SIM or a menu pops-up to select the SIM for every call/SMS or a separate key to select the SIM for the next outgoing call/SMS (like in Samsung C5212). The settings & contacts of each SIM are displayed as tabs. The first tab is for the default SIM and the second tab is for the other SIM. Eg: if SIM2 is set as default, then the first tab holds info & setting of SIM2 while second tab is for SIM1.

  • once you insert your two simcard in the two slot then power on your it will automatically cativate your both sim if thats not work theres a problem in your handset...go to the nearest samsung service center have it to check what causing your phone not to activate the dual sim...

  • here is a little tip for you...in samsung c5212 it has 4 playlist each playlist contain 30 songs meaning if you have 500 mp3...all in all you only can load is 120 so have to create a folder so that you will know that every folder contain 30 mp3...by the way you can all see your 500 mp4 but you cannot play it as ease like 500 song in one playlist....hope this clear things...

  • reading all the reviews about the music player of the C5212 i'm a bit confused about it, especially since i've never used a samsung before. if i load about 500 songs onto the external memory, is it possible that i will see all the 500 songs in the files as well as in the music player if i do not put them on any of the 4 playlists. or will i see all the 500 songs in the files but only the maximum of 120 in the 4 playlists

  • Hi to all To Usman, Can u plz answer a few of my queries. I am very interested in this phone, but hav got some doubts after reading the reviews. Plz advise should I go in for it. It will be mainly for sms. Also I wud like to know a few things about it. 1. does it have flight mode like in nokia for both the sim�s. what I mean is can I keep 1 sim offline (flight mode) or both sim�s offline without shutting down the phone. 2. as I have read in these reviews, there is no dedicated folder for �delivery reports� and the reports are delivered directly into the inbox. I want to know whether there is a option to mark 1 or mark all delivery reports and delete them at one go. Or will I be required to delete each report individually, bcoz it will be annoying to delete each report considering I send almost 250 smses daily. Thanks in advance.

Ideal MP4 video file must be encoded at Video bitrate=192kbps, Frame Size=176x144 pixels FPS=15, Audio bitrate=64kbps, Audio sample rate=22khz, in order to make it compatible with C5212 mobile. Encoded video files at higher than above settings would show "Not supported content" popup message.

  • Besides the dual SIM option... does it have option to disable or turn off any one SIM temporarily?

  • To upgrade this phone you will need: 1) OneNAND downloader specifically for this mobile 2) A compatible flash cable (the USB data cable WON'T do, look for the flash cable for D880) 3) Latest firmware, which is C5212XBJA2 FLASHING: - Use C: drive as an option in the flasher - Choose both Master and Slave flash, and for both choose BIN + TFS. - Choose the paths to the firmware files (.cla and .tfs) accordingly, for Master and Slave. - Connect the cable (with its drivers installed) - Select the correct COM port for the cable, can be seen in Device Manager - Press START - Press the power button briefly. - Flash the mobile.

  • hi friends can anyone tell me about its music player :1) can listen to the music while i am writing a message? 2) when i receive a call while i'm playing music and after the call, Will i have to start the music from the begining? 3) finally can i make a playlist thank u very much

  • I want to view word, excel, pdf files on this mobile, kindly tell me how to do it.

  • for call: you dont have to reboot, you just have to input the number first before pressing the button on the upper right of the phone (the one that you also use in rebooting)then you can see on your screen that it will shift from one sim to the other... just choose which sim you want to use then you can press call button... for text message: you dont have to reboot as well, after pressing to "create message" you can then push the upper right button (the one that you also use in rebooting)of the phone then you can see on your screen that it will shift from one sim to the other... just choose which sim you want to use then you can continue your message.. THis phone is really nice..

  • hi, usman, your website (www.usmanafzal.com) does not open. pls. do something.

  • no you need not reboot the phone to change the sim to call to a number. just type the number and press the default Sim key (the button is present the right side top of the C5212 mobile) to change the default Sim. You note that the network signal was highlighted -- (see on the top left screen there is a network signal that was highlighted that was changed when you press the Sim Card Management Button)

  • Hi I would like to use my phone for email. kindly give me some steps. Thanks

  • no u need not reboot the phone to change the sim to call to a no. u just type the no and press the default sim key to change the default sim. u check the network signal highlighted

  • Can you please show me the image of the switch to use either of the sims for calling without having to reboot?

  • Many thanks for the information provided by you. I have used this phone for about 3 months now. I used to charge it for couple of hours every alternate day, now I keep it on charge for 4 hours or more, and it lasts for 3 days instead of 2. It is an excellent phone, good value for money.

  • First install New Samsung PC Studio software which includes installation of samsung modem usb drivers. Then start Mobiledit software. Connect ur mobile via USB cable or bluetooth. Wait few seconds till ur mobile is detected by Mobiledit software. I am using it through USB cable. I can easily save all inbox and sentbox sms as a txt file on PC. Mobiledit software is faster than New Samsung PC Studio as far as retrieving phonebook n text messages r concerned. USMAN AFZAL

  • hey people theres a switch located at the right upper side of the phone...you can choose wether sim one or sim 2 so that there will be no need to rebooting your phone...it can be use when you want to call using any of the two sims in your phone likewise in text messaging...that switch is very helpful indeed,

  • Dear Usman Can you pleas help in making the mobiledit funcational. I have downloaded the software. I have tried to connect through blustooth but it does not detect anything. What to do? reagrds

  • can somebody tell me how to make functional mobiledit. I have downloaded but there is no option for detecting; i have checked on other phones as well but i could not figure out the problem. Anybody assitance is requested pelase

  • Your post was a very helpful. You are right, the instructions don't mention anything about how to switch sims without having to reboot it. I bought the phone yesterday but when i got home i got so disappointed about the whole reboot thing. You made my day! Tnx!!

  • No.. it doesn't work that way. Only one sim is default, you have to reboot to make calls from the other sim

  • It is a standby SIM mobile. I am using one. You can recieve calls and messages simultaneously, but at a time, only one SIM allows you to make calls or send messages. You have to choose one SIM as default. Suppose you choose SIM-1 as default. Then, when you get a message to SIM-2 and try to reply, the reply goes from SIM-1. If you want to reply from SIM-2 itself, then you have to choose SIM-2 as default, where the phone reboots automatically, and then reply.

  • I bought a C5212 recently. It has only standby Dual SIM feature, which means we cannot make calls or send messages from both SIMs simultaneously, but can only receive calls and messages simultaneously. We have to choose a default SIM from the two and can make calls from that one only. To make calls from the other SIM, we have to go to SIM manager and choose the other SIM as default, after which the phone reboots in 2 to 3 minutes. Now, the second SIM will allow us to make calls and first one will not. In case this feature is not as I have written above, please comment so that I can know if there is a way to use both SIMs for calls without selecting one as default and rebooting the phone.

  • on my screen alphabet E is appearing and the second Sim card is not active,what should I do to make work?

  • It is a very good phone. Both the sim will work nicely, Only the negative points are: 1. 1.3 MP Camera is very poor, even my old Nokia-6600's VGA camera is better than it. 2. Manual is very short and doesnot say everything.

  • i want to sell my samsung c5212 now, any one who want to buy then reply fast.

  • im planning to buy this phone because of the dual sim feature. more important to me is that it will be able to use two sims simultaneously with all the incoming and outgoing calls and messages from two sims. does it work?

  • what is mean by dnse . then define its uses

  • Can i get picture sms in samsung c-5212?

  • Can I connect my c5212 to my laptop? Is there a USB cord that I can use?

  • I'd used the c5212 for about 2 weeks before a friend told me you can switch from one sim to the other by pressing the button by the side after punching the number you intend to call. I didn't get this from the manual....I'd been switching from the sim management which takes about a minute because the phone has to reboot. Good phone

  • no.you dont have to reboot your phone just dail or select the number from your phone.press the right side button and it changes from sim 1 to sim 2 and u can repeat the same to go back to sim 1

  • I have this mobile. Can anyone please tell where is the symbol "_" for using while emails on this phone. Please help!

  • Hi, friends, My humble suggestion! Please dont go for this mobile. Samsung dual technology is still far behind the ordinary chinese dual sim phones. I am telling you my personal experience. Dont buy any samsung dual sim phone...!!!! If you need a dual sim.....go for any chinese phone.. (Samsung has very good phones in single sim).

  • im considering buying this phone so please give me an honest reply. i had read that this phone can only store up to 4 playlist with a max of 30 songs for ewach playlist. is there a way that you can save 200 songs and play them all without saving it on a playlist? nokia phones allow you to create playlist but if you want to play all the saved songs, you can just press the option 'play all'. thanks in advance

  • You can call by sim2 without rebooting mobile. just type mobile number and press right side top key. its changes to sim1 and sim2

  • This phone is very good. But if you want to make a call using SIM2 you have to switch off and again reboot the phone which takes about 2-3 minutes time. Only incoming calls and messages are received by both sims simultaneous. Outgoing calls from SIM2 is not readily available. I bought this phone without knowing this.

  • Me too. Sold off for 20% less. am happy i got rid of this sick phone.

  • WORST phone ever. Sold it back at 50% :( going back to Nokia.

  • Yes you can recieve call on other sim while talking on a sim.

  • Guys, i spoke to the Samsung people. The battery life also depends on the SIM you use. People using Docomo and BSNL will be likely to get LOW BATTERY life as it consumes more bandwidth. Airtel and Vodafone would work fine and in any case, you would get 4 hours of talk time / 1.5 to 2 days of battery. Here are some tips. ----------------------------- Avoid using vibrator as it consumes a lot of power. Turn off your cell in the night. Don't use this as a music device. Listen to songs sparingly. Reduce the display brightness to minimum, which itself is so bright. Recharge the cellphone only when the battery power goes below 2 or 1 sticks. Store the device in cool place. Follow the above tips and am sure you would get decent battery life. You would not get excellent battery life like you would get from LAVA, KARBONN, MICROMAX etc, but its not bad either. If you not satisfied, well, for for LAVA / KARBONN. And live with the cranky OS !

  • Yeah yeah! Charge you batteries for 12 hours, and then throw it in your dustbin! What rubbish people talk in here! charging for 12 hours!!! LOL ...Li-Ion batteries require just 3 hours of initial charging and then on, charge when you have just one bar remains. This phone is NOT reliable in terms of battery back up. I do not advise people to go for this and waste their money.

  • Does it support incoming call in SIM1, while SIM2 is on call? Is it shows Unreachable/busy?

  • Well, i have purchased this set yesterday and has all required feature,can anyone share experience abt the battery?

  • thank you

  • thank you for the reply. I will buy it soon.

  • i can not send an email using my c5212 handset. every time i try to send i get the reply "DNS unavailable" can someone help me please.

  • So would you get from any and every device using a Li-Ion battery. Why? The problem lies with you and not with the battery. Read on. A battery -- fresh out of the box -- requires "seasoning" to reach its full capacity. And so the very first 4 charges should be of 12 hrs each. And always charge a battery when its fully discharged. If you keep up with this practice, you'll never be utterly disappointed with any Li-Ion battery. Cell phone or cordless or MP3 player. Got the point? :) Plus, always allow your Li-Ion devices proper ventilation and/or breathing. Phone battery heats up while in use -- especially during calls. And so, make it a habit to switch off the phone for 4 hrs at least. Hope, you can use/apply these points. Be happy. Be good. Be graceful.

  • Can anyone give the HONEST opinion and experience on Battery Life? I get only a days life :( all i do it text for 1 hour max and talk for around 30 - 40 mins.

  • Yup, it does!

  • Yes the E symbol shows up when browsing. Very nice phone, perfect for what I want!

  • gsm arena says it has edge but phone box printed as GPRS+GPRS. Please clarify whether E symbol comes while browsing.

  • does this phone really has EDGE? Phone box printed as GPRS+GPRS

  • this c5212 is still rocking!!!

  • hi, What is the memory format code for samsung c5212?? If anyone knows then please let me know!! Thanks

  • why do u ppl want to ask that guy Usman? he gave all bull about this phone. The battery life of this phone SUCKS. rest of the features are good which are found in no other dual sim phone. But whats the whole point if the battery runs out and u cant even use it! Go for Karbonn or Lava guys. this one is of no use.

  • my question was hi usman how to increase the size of java application(games and more) i.e. how to install applications above 4 mb.. pls do reply

  • If you live outside India, then go for PHILIPS cellphones for your requirement, i.e, good battery back-up and dual-SIM-standby. If you live in India, then go for LAVA cellphones for your requirement, i.e, good battery back-up and dual-SIM GSM-standby. I've personally used KKT-24. The battery is truly good. But, I can't live without the features of a SAMSUNG phone. And so, despite the modest [not poor] battery, my dual-SIM phone now is the C5212. Plus, formatting the phone is easy by the well-known service codes.

  • The phone is great ROI,

  • you mean to say the battery life lasts only for a day? i am planning to buy this phone but i want a phone that have a long battery life..its very inconvenient to be charging all the time

  • Can anyone give the HONEST opinion and experience on Battery Life? I get only a days life :( all i do it text for 1 hour max and talk for around 30 - 40 mins.

  • also supports mp4 and it is not difficult to install games. supports java games which u can easily download from wap.in site.

  • It supports 3gp

  • yes, the sent sms can be saved automatically.. you just have to tick Save a Copy in the text message settings (under Sim Options)

  • im planning to replace my d900i with this c5212. anyway, does this fone automatically saves the sent items for sms like the nokias? my d900i had a long process if you want to save the sent items. so many keys to be pressed before it will save. i hope this fone automatically saves them. waiting for reply. thanks!

  • I forgot to add, sorry... Have you already played .3gp or .mp4 videos in it? Is it really difficult to install games?

  • how much did you buy the phone? is there any firmware update for this phone?

  • slow in accessing your CALL LOG... slow in adding recipients when texting... kind a slow in mp3 player but still tolerable... 4playlist up2 30 songs per playlist only... when composing a text messages moderate(not fast nor slow) still same as the usual phone...

  • just kidding,always go for the good name not like china phone theres no support or anything you can get if the phone is broken...anyway i think you can read in direct sunlight but you have to increase the brightness because im using the lowest brightness to lessen the battery consumption...overall this phone is phone texting and calling using different sims...by the way you should buy the from your c5212 in samsung store and you will a free 1k voucher for the next purchase of selected items in samsung store...

  • Hi thanks for answering :) Do you really suggest I'll go for China phones? I'm just worried that there might be no repairs for it if there's a problem & you have to buy the whole thing again Actually I'm not after for the camera/video/music features Is it legible to read even if in direct sunlight? It's only slow during adding recipients? So texting is fine?

  • answer is no...it will give a busy tone for the person calling you in your sim2 because you are still using the sim1 for calling....

  • for all... if you are using sim1 for calling then suddenly someone calling you in your second sim...it will give a BUSY TONE to the one calling you in your sim2...meaning if you hang up the sim1 thats the time someone will reach your sim2...clear????

  • answer to your question...this is what i notice after using it for 26 days... 1. yes it is so clear but you have to set your volume to one because so clear that sometimes you cannot hear it clearly or maybe it depends upon the signal strength of the provider you are using in the philippines... 2. dis is not worth buying for...camera is bad because its only 1.3mp im not happy using this for any picture taking as well as for video...for the music its gud but still this fon is very slow when you want to skip a song it takes 3sec to hear the next song but the sound is great...no regrets 3. no idea for the documents viewer...(dis is for texting and calling) 4.yes u can choose any sounds files for you sms alert ring tone alert even for the alarms... one thing i noticed,once a week im having problem with detecting my 2 sim,sometimes my smart did not recognised this fone so i have to switch it to the second slot to finally recognised it...anyway final word for this for after using it for almost a month(4 more days)... browsing is fast but it still depend upon the signal strength... battery is good up to 2 days... sound is good...(contented) camera is bad(for me) video not bad but not too good as well calling and texting is you have to adjust because this phone is to slow in adding recipient contacts... by the way this phone is only suited for someone who likes to text and call using 2 different sims... buy china phone mas cheaper pa...at nde mo na kelangan mag switch switching pa hehehe...

  • ds set rocks simply .. jst da prblm wd ds is of less sms memory n slow speed at times .. not suitable for messaging addicts like me :D othrwise it has evrything dat u can have in such price level .. moreover best for those who r looking for dual sim .. lg has dual sim like gx200 and two more touch phones .. bt in overall style n looks .. fizz rokz remembr samsung is da only trustworthy dual sim manufacturer china mobile is such a crap .. it is good bt not durable .. no warranty no replacement .. huh

  • Hi I'm planning to buy this phone here in the Philippines. Anyway to those users: 1. is the voice clarity during calls clear? even in a loud environment can you still hear the other person on the other line & vice versa? 2. also, is it worth buying? actually the camera/music/video capability is just an added bonus, not really after those features 3. where do you guys download the document viewer? GSM Arena should've check its specs 4. can I customize different ring tones/message alert tones of each person? thanks! (sorry if some are already asked..)

  • yes it's work.

  • c5212 camera clarity in very quit stereo very good karbonn dualsim comare samsung dualsim clear network sim 1 sim 2 very quick function that mobile very high efficenicy

  • s u'll get calls from both the sim mr. prashant

  • I just want to ask if i am talking on sim 1 can i get a call on sim 2 simultaneously bcoz i have taken micromax q5 and in tht when i am on call on sim 1 the other sim comes unavailable...

  • are you trying 2 confuse the people who will be reading this one...anyway i never posted this one...if u will read my comments...the battery is gud...up two 2 days...standby,a little mp3 and lots of text and calls...

  • pls i bought this phone, but if u download bible or dictionary, it doesnt recognise it, pls what format do i need to download

  • i just want to install the games in it. how to do it? Send me the details for....? other the mobile is ok. please do improve the camera capacity upto 2MP atleast.

  • It's excellent mobile phone. Battery is good,i usually recharge it after 2,3 days not dependent on how i use it

  • iam using this samsung c5212 model from 7months.its really good.but please change camera minimum 2.0mega pixer.

  • I bought this phone last week, phone is good but battery back sucks, need to charge everyday. Sound clarity on speaker is also OK but if you are planning to listen FM on speaker then it really consumes lot of battery.

  • I could talk for 3 hrs after recharge. Talk time given in specifications of this phone in Gsm Arena appears to be correct; rest of the battery life depends on how we use it for audio, video etc. So batter backup is ok for a dual sim phone like this.

  • Battery Back up sucks. Its never reliable. I tried running it with just one SIM but its still the same. Dont expect battery life for more than one day. If you spoke for 1 hour, you are drained.

  • Try Cortel for call recording, they do it on most mobiles not sure about blackberry though? 02077950101

  • Hello jin , i am planning to buy this phone.What is ur opinion abt the battery backup if i talk only minmum 1 hr per day? how is the built in speaker sound and clarity? Kindly reply. Tnx

  • i want to download some cricket games. how cud i?

  • thats the price of copying the china version of dual sim into samsung model but im happy and much contended withs the speed of this phone all we need is to understand the phone itself and the rest will follow to our likes and needs...for the battery mines last 2 days...call and text then mp3...if u want to stay up2 2.5 days standby...you have to silent your phone...less music...and another thing...you dont have to buy 8gig for this phone...i think it will slow the phone coz mine using the 2gig...nothing change still slow...

  • u have to buy a game frm our samsung site

  • yup i agree when adding recipients its really slow when composing a sms.. it takes me a couple of seconds(7-11 sec) for me to add..

  • hi usman how to increase the size of java application(games and more) i.e. how to install applications above 4 mb.. waiting 4 ur soon reply

  • i think this guy Usman gave us all bullshit! he gave us some version of firware which is not at all announced. ive tried all ways and i no way on this freaking earth that the battery lasts for 50 hours...unless Usman is using only 1 sim and switches off the cell in the night. C5212 is a sucker for battery. PLS DONT BUY THIS SET.

  • Please go through earlier replies this issue was already replied by me switching over to other sim is very simple in this phone

  • sir, there is no need to set the 2nd sim as default, just dail the number then press side sim swith and dial the number it will dial from 2nd sim

  • thank you sir, for you valuble advice.

  • battery life good....2 days max.... the down side is this PHONE is VERY SLOW....but after 16 days of using this phone i adopt with this phone in terms of speed because the interface is good but its slow in adding recipient when composing a sms...

  • The only problem is switching from one simcard to the other wich forces the phone to restart and taking too long to initiolize the simcard,so it cant help you quick in cases of imangencies when the active simcard has no airtime.I would like to have one wich you dont have to switch if there is any from SAMSUNG,otherwise everything else is ok with 5212.

  • my friend it is good to know that each sim card in your phone is 3volts and your phone has 2simcards.That means too much power is consumed.Because 2sims is 6volts and your battery is only 4.2volts ,calculate that and you will find what each sim is consuming.

  • I am not geting battery backup for a day.

  • hii ..can any1 plz tell me that is this phone works in the same way as dual sim China mobiles work i.e. both sims are active at the same time?? we can make calls, receive cals, sens sms from both sims at the same time ??? Or we have to switch between the sims to make any sim active ??

  • Hi Usman Bhai! I have some serious trouble with my C5212. The battery back up sucks :( not even lasts for a day. All i do is 30 mins of chatting tru SMS and then 5 calls of 2 mins each maximum. Do i need to upgrade my firmware? Can you pls guide me how to do it?

  • the batery life is not good samsung c5212

  • It is not difficult to switch to the second SIM, simply list the contact and then press the top drot and see that the figure on SIM change.

  • The battery life is NOT GOOD. I loved the features of this phone but very disappointing life of the battery. All i do is chat with my cousins for an hour, take maximum of 5 calls a day each lasting not more than 2 mins. Thats it. Battery wont even come for more than a day :( Am planning to change my handset.

  • I am also just trying to use this phone in a best way and going through the comments made by learned friends here. I would suggest to all Samsung C5212 users to patiently go through all the comments\replies given here to increase their knowledge and also ask here to clarify their doubts which will certainly help all of us. I will also try to clear any doubts on this phone just by the knowledge gained from this forum.

  • Someone pls give the procedure to upgrade the Firmware of the C5212. There are some real good experts here and this would help all 5212 users a lot.

  • I have ordered Samsung c5212. It has already been shipped out to my delivery address. Among all the users. it seems you have the best knowledge about the phone. I would be grateful if you could kindly give me general tips on how to get the best of the phone and also the pitfalls to avoid as all phone are not perfct. Thanks

  • I recently bought Samsung c5212 and I like it. Kindly help me update firm ware

  • Thanks a lot for the useful tip. It doesn't feature in the manual.

  • pls pls pls tell us all HOW TO UPDATE THE FIRMWARE? i saw your website 5212 support also...but there is no procedure given to update firmware. If you tell us how, it will be very very useful and many misconceptions can be driven out...

  • to make calls from second sim it need not be default just select the number to be dialled then slect sim by right side sim selection switch as one simple press of it will select the other sim and highlight its signal icon on the left side top corner, then press dial, call will go through second sim you will know how simple it is just by practice. We normally make a most used sim as default and select the other sim by the above procedure. After using second sim please don't forget to come back to default sim otherwise your calls will go through second sim without your knowledge. This is the best dual sim phone just learn how to use it.

  • USMAN bhai! pls pls pls tell us all HOW TO UPDATE THE FIRMWARE? i saw your website 5212 support also...but there is no procedure given to update firmware. If you tell us how, it will be very very useful and many misconceptions can be driven out. Thanks

  • to make calls from the 2nd Sim, I find it very difficult to mark default for the 2nd sim & then it goes for reebooting for making calls. I am finding it very inconvenient.

  • Before i bought one i had tried out other generic brands to my dissappointment-short battery life very faint but now ihave a branded product with better battery life and very clear sound.but if the battery life can be improved, the better.

  • Hi all.. Samsung is the only Branded company that has a dual sim phone... No other company has even tried yet.. Works well for me.

  • Both sims being limited to the same dual bands seems very inconvenient. Should have made 1 sim tri band.

  • but such recording option is not available while in conversation any one getting this option in India please tell.

  • Thank you very much. It is ok now. Mubarak

  • Document viewer jar file i downloaded from www.getjar.com and using free jad converter i made a jad file and then stored both jar & jad file in same folder in memory card and installed the jad file now i can read (not write) excel and word and same way pdf reader also installed.

  • re: keypad tones. you have to select the following: settings - phone profiles - (select your desired profile) - right - right - right - right (tills you see the "keypad tones") - press o.k. button - now the options available are: beep - glossy - music box - mettallic - mute. you have to accept mute, and there you have it.

  • A simple solution is to record a blank or very low sound, almost inaudible, and set this as a ring tone. You will surely not hear the phone ring when you don't want it to. I created a group called "IDIOTS" - and entered in this group a bunch of people who keep calling me regularly even though its a wrong number - I set a blank ring tone for this group and now I don't even know when they call.

  • This Samsung C5212 duos phone looks good and have professional looks. audio quality is good and most important is user friendly. Display is big so its make attractive. If u are looking for a standard phone, my suggestion is to go with this. Camera is only 1.3 megapixel but it doesn't matter to me. despite of dual sim functionality is easy n this phone carrys a brand name SAMSUNG. So m happy with phone.

  • Yes. PC Studio shows error that phone explorer can not be opened. We can add caller ID manually within PC Studio which shows option to add images from ur PC harddisk. Unfortunately there is not any such application. I am using two PC based softwares with my C5212 mobile to save text messages on memory card or on PC. One is Samsung New PC Studio and second one is Mobiledit 4. The Mobiledit can save SMS as .MED file format or as a .txt file with date n time n sender details. (USMAN AFZAL)

Now the problem has been resolved. U can save complete phonebook of SIM and phone memory separately as a .NPF file or as a .CSV file format. U can save text messages (inbox, outbox, drafts, sentbox, my folder) as a .NEF file format. I am continueously making backups of all text messages after every 6 or 7 days because my mobile's sms memory (200 max.) becomes full after every 6 or 7 days !!! (USMAN AFZAL)
