Samsung D900 - User Reviews

  • I really miss phones like this, had to be the best phone i've ever owned.

  • except Sliding its a good phone

  • ACCORDING TO MY OPINION. HOW THE FEATURE PHONES SHOULD BE: body form factor should be bar. ... keyboard should be without qwerty. ... should be without touchscreen. ... battery capacity should be removabe.

  • all the good good samsung old mobiles are slider?! i dont like slide phones at all.

  • how can I get on line

  • its battery very bad :(((((

  • I need one how can I get it on line?

  • I need one how can I get it on line?

  • D900 samsung mobile is best friend for me but now it is lost.can i get this model in market?

  • There's nothing wrong with this great little phone. My advice - Stick with it. Season's Greetings to everyone.

  • I bought this phone in Portgual a few years ago, unlocked. Brought it back to SA where all phones and sim cards are unlocked but it doesn't allow me to download wap settings so that I can connect to the internet. I can send and receive messages and phone calls as normal but not go onto the internet. Can anyone help me in overcoming this problem, Thanks

  • I am using this since 2006, Still i cant think of changing. Its beautiful, sleek and has still a faster processing time than most of the smart ones out there.

  • I love this phone but perhaps it's time for you to upgrade!

  • The charger socket on my Samsung D900 has broken for the second time (this is my second phone). Can't seem to find another one, can I get if fixed?

  • I have still got my D900 from the days when Rajesh was the main input for D900 and he wrote a Tips and Tricks for this mobile..Just started to use it again for going out and still does its job..I am using sgs2 ATM but still love the days of buttons like hell..These button fones will return as things go in cycles and soon the main thing about your fone is how small it is and this will be the trend. Mine is the D900i version to be precise which added FM radio i think.

  • just put ur micro sd card in cardreader and transfer songs

  • Password 00000000 Go MENU 9 - 7 - 4 to change.

  • Tap in "load songs" above and Search.

  • Can anybody show me the way on how to load songs from my laptop to my phone? I have no idea how to do this, quite new to this technology. Greatly appreciated.

  • I have a Samsung PC Studio installer CD for Windows 2000 and XP which I can send you. Includes USB driver, sample media files and User's Guide. Ver. 3.0.1 FFA

  • Try 00000000

  • what is traker unlock koad

  • This is still a great little phone. Does everything I want. Why complicate your life with an iPhone or whatever?

  • Things I like: Nice camara, nice sound, very elegant Things I dislike: Battery life is too short. I have to recharge every 3 days using it very few (2 or 3 short calls per day). Alarm tones are very awful and you can't add more

  • wow. you got problems ...

  • Prehistoric? Get a dictionary. I love mine!

  • this phone came from the pre-historic era, why do you people talk about it? talk about galaxy or iphone or things like that.

  • How can 85g be "seriously heavy". The D900 is very light.

  • what is its pricE ???

  • seriously heavy which can be a problem :/ but it's okay. does what a phone should do. good quality camera

  • Very very bad : because samsung os is very selfish and planed one . Nothing install that mobile . That type of os (java)is very very bad.

  • Go MENU 9 - 6 - 2 Call Barring options.

  • how do l unbar this phone for incoming calls. lt

  • my samsung d-900 is having a problem with its camera. The problem started because it has fallen down twice or thrice i believe. The problem is when i go into camera mode, i cant see the object in the screen. the display just shows orange lines in a circular form with backdrop of this image completely black. what should i do to solve this problem?

  • old is gold,I love dis phone and still using it.got more milage to go

  • G stands for GPRS and E stands for edge. Edge is like gprs!!!

  • I have replaced the flex for almost 3 times, once the original flex had been damaged and replaced, it will be a problem for a long time

  • Has been my phone for five years now and replaced the flex cable only once. Very tough despite having been dropped many times, the keys are still good and camera quality is excellent. Love this!

  • outdated by modern samsung counterparts, this model has got to be the toughest ever. have it long enough and have a screwdriver, you just need to buy parts for it, its so simple! i replaced the flex myself and i just replaced the casing! its like a snap together toy or like a well, a weapon field stripps easily etc. withstood a 6 feet sea dunk(of course dry the thing and remove battery immediately.), several hard knock and captures videos just fine! even better than the nu samsung boys!

  • This is still an excellent phone. I am never without it.

  • this phone is used in south africa and people still use it

  • Google "Retrieve deleted videos". Various solutions appear to be available. Good luck!

  • who can i retrieve my important video because my kids playing the ang he forget the game menu he delete my video how can i retrieve?

  • If you are in London I know where to get it fixed.

I am so happy with my D900 and have no interest in changing my phone for another, although I do have a Nokia E52 as well. Thanking you for your assistance in this regard. Kind regards Lena Burini

  • Yes all of this phone experiences are SUPER GOOD!!!!!But you can use this phone only for a one year because FLEX is not good...

  • mu aunt is using this phone for years now and she didnt encounter any prob w/ this phone

  • You can set arrow down/up/or sideways through Shortcut Settings to go in to Contacts. Re text messaging - capital appears automatically after full stop and space.

  • Two random questions but my mum hates these things about her new phone so I'm looking for another. If you arrow down does this phone go into contacts? Also when writing a text does it go into a capital after a full stop?

  • Hi have bought new computer running Windows 7 and now my PC studio won't support (used to run XP on old computer). Was just getting into PC studio and using camera, video, etc. If there a download or patch I can get? Have tried lots of sites like samsung.com/us but no luck.

  • No Spellcheck or Facebook.

  • does this phone have spellcheck as im after a cheap phone with canny features but need spellcheck and facebook ... any advice please asap

  • Can't turn phone on ?? Maybe you shd hold down red ON button for longer. Or the battery is dead, or the phone needs attention.

  • my d900 is in trouble. can't turn on. why?

  • Voice Recorder is MENU 3 - 2. Press OK to start recording. Speak into microphone. Press OK to pause or resume the recording. Press SAVE when finished. Press OK to review the voice memo. TV. With TV switched on , connect phone to TV with a TV out cable.(not normally supplied). Switch TV to External Input mode.

Access the application you want and open files.

  • please I have this phone and i don't know the funtions of the voice memo and tv-out. also how can i use and benefit from them?

  • In standby mode, press and hold # on keypad to deactivate Silent mode.(indicator will disappear from top Right of screen). Then go MENU - 9 - 4 - 6 and make sure you are in Vibration - not Mute. Incoming call volume can be changed by going MENU - 9 - 4 - 1

  • Me too only happened today with no previous problems!

  • Got same problem

  • Urgently to all D900 users. My kids played with the phone. I can see calls coming through. No sound, no ringing not even vibrating. Also, I cannot hear anything although the person phoning can hear me clearly. HELP, completely lost.

  • best phone everrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!

  • The red line through the phone sign means you are out of your service area so you cannot send or receive calls. Maybe the other 2 sims are not compatible.

  • my D900i is not sending out nor receiving any calls why is that? i have three sim cards Digicel, Lime and Claro whenever i used my Digicel sim in it it show a little black phone with a red line running across it and each time i used the other sim it doesn't show it but it ain't sending nor receiving any calls... why?

  • There are 3 text sizes, 3 text modes, and a Bold or Italic option. To get to Text Style, go MENU - 5 - 1 - 1 then OPTIONS 11.

  • Hi I was wondering if the text fonts have diferent sizes looking for a phone that can do that

  • You need a SanDisk Micro SD. Try eBay.

  • Tap in "2GB Memory card" to Search opinions above.

  • Can the D900 read a 2gb memory card. I bought one and inserted it, but the phone won't read it. Not suer whether to return the card or take the phone in for repairs. The phone appears to be working fine on all other functions

  • Perhaps you can try replacing the camera ribbon. I Light spray of CRC on the ribbon socket can help too.

  • its broke

  • my blutooth and battery wont turn on

  • my samsung d900 phone has camera problem when i trying to on camera after 10 to 15 seconds its showing preview eror can any one help me friends.....................

  • my phone always switch offing automaticlly wht i do?

  • i m using this phone past 3 years its oausam but recently my samsung d 900 phone is showing low network of idea can anyone help me....

  • it happens when you use low quality charger, or lose charger plug, its charger IC is so sensitive to electrical shocks. use external battery charger and buy another battery, so when 1 is on use, the other is on charge! i said in the last post its bullet proof, i charged my d900 with a dc motor by rotating its shaft by wind energy, it charged well or twice with energy of land phone line! its very hard to break this phone!

  • try these codes: *#8999*367# Watchdog *#8999*427# Trance Watchdog if doesnt work use this to reset your phone but all internal memory data like phone book, etc. will be erased. *#8999*947# or *#8999*377# or full EEPROM reset wich changes IMEI to:0-400044-89-447967 used for unlocking sgh d600. *#3855*2767#

  • its much better than d900i. this phone is tested with 10 times harder conditions of military standards! by me. its rock hard, bullet proof and very environment compatible. im using nokia 5800 now but its a bit slow, when you are using samsung and switch to nokia, you feel the difference and the performance of samsung. i owned a samsung SGH-D900 it was bullet proof! thrown many times, fell into water, many many times i use it to knock sth. hard like pins and stones, i throw that once like a stone on a street fighting! when i opened it, all metal parts in it was oxidated! one of my friends which is a nokia repair service man saw that and said: man its 100% army standard!

  • my phone has stopped charging. does anyone know whats wrong with it?

  • Tap in "password" to Search Opinions above. The answer is probably there somewhere.

  • I have blocked my phone from messages, videos and images with a password and now i cant remember what it was ive tried all my usual passwords with no luck what can i do?

  • to turn off keypad tone > go to your profile> active line> phone sounds> keypad tone should be on mute

  • this is one of the best phone i have used,i got it from a friend who is in U.K one year ago and since then i haven't seen any problem in fact its features are fantastic from the Camera,Video and sound clarity you will like it i tell you.Mike from Kenya.

  • how do i know that you are not someone who just work for the company?, and is trying to say good stuff about to make people buy the phone?

  • hmm, thats the only thing I don't like about it.

  • I have this phone for over two years now and its still good as new. The camera and its auto-focus is simply awesome in taking pictures. I even use it to read e-books and the battery for normal use lasts up to 2-3 days despite having it for 2 yrs. Though you may want to be extra careful when sliding the phone open and closed because it tends to be a little tricky and also don't use too much force in typing messages because the keypad is usually the first to give-in. Over-all its worth buying though its an old model.

  • I had this phone for more than 3 yrss aswell. It has been through everything with me, and I've never had an issue with it. Great build quality. still running strong.

  • One of the best thing I like about this phone is the menu. If u were to go to settings>>phone settings>> ring tone, and hit end call, its easy to get back there. hit menu again and it leaves off where u left off, so all u need to hit is ok, ok, ok and ur back at ring tones. Instead of starting back at the center selection or the first selection. I had this classmate look at my phone and he set my backlight to dim in 10minutes....

  • i have this phone for almost 3 years or mayb 3 by now, and sometimes i have problems with the battery. If i charge it for the whole night, it would die within 7 hours after being unplugged. Somtimes i would have to pull out the battery multiple times till it gets back to normal, but overall i still like it.

  • don't worry to make photo correct just press the volume button while camera is on increase volume button flips the image vertically while dec. vol. button horizontally

  • Got dis phone 4 3 years neva had a problem,and its still running strong......I LUV IT

  • Re Photo mirror image, in Take Photo mode, just play with the "volume" buttons on the LH side. Job done.

  • when I take picture the display gives a flip image/mirror image but for video it is okay. How can I correct it?

  • my phone d900 is made in euro, can't show & write chinese word in massage, how can get the software? or anybody got another idea?

  • my phone d900 is made in euro, can show & write chinese word in massage, how can get the software? or anybody got another idea?

  • if i delete photo from my phone is there any way to returnet help me please thinks

  • And if you hold down one of the LH side buttons in idle mode, time and date will be displayed.

  • Hi Maxima Figure it out. The peoblem exists due to the Silver Volume Control on the Left-Edge of the phone. did not even know that it had any effect to the camera other than Volume adjustment. But thanks for the responses.

  • BUICK. Yes the buttons left and right of the OK button adjust the brightness. The buttons above and below the OK button adjust the Zoom. Key 1 switches to Record mode. Key 2 changes the image size. Key 3 changes the image quality. Key 4 Changes the shooting mode. Etc through 9 The * determines the use of the flash. # changes the preview mode. Happy shooting.

  • Tks Maxima - but just to check - the left arrow works on the brightness / or am i just acting blonde here????

  • i have had this phone for almost 3 years now and have not had a single problem thus far.i love it-im sad that i have to upgrade!!

  • BUICK. Easy. Go to Take Photo, and adjust image using Left Hand side buttons.

  • Hi T - could you tell me more about getting rid of the auto-rotate, as i think i am stuck in that mode cos my pics are inverted?

  • Hi guys - my camera image is currently inverted - how do i correct it? seems like someone has selected sumkind of shortcut or sumthin?

  • Nice Phone And its Friendly , i have had since june 2007

  • my phone is dead why???? the screen make up to black, only (just) funtion is the sound, why? help me. thnk 2????

  • all flip and slide phones have a micro ribbon built in, this allows visual info to be transfered to the screen. By the sounds of ur problem the ribbon in your phone has become damaged and is unable to transfer info hence the white screen.... time to get another phone!!!!!!!!!

  • I used this phone a lot. Nice OS as Im used of Samsung. Only minus point is the battery and the camera. I used the phone for about 1 year, then switched over to Nokia N73, and now switched over to X1. In that time the D900 had 3 different owners and it still lives, so durability of the phone is real good, specially if you see what jobs they have! If people want to have a ''normal'' phone to make a pic sometimes, have some music on it, this would be a perfect phone! For people who want to have a good cam but dont want to spend to much I recommend the N73 of Nokia, it can do practiclly do the same as the D900, and for a overall smartphone that can do anything I say Xperia.

  • i have some problem with this set. yesterday its screen became blank and only a white light was there on screen. the phone is working alright and is performing every task but the problem is just with its display. please somebody help me on this matter, how can i get rid of this problem.

  • i bought d-900 2 years ago still working very good but camera is not working when i take a phone the picture not good and fade please help me

  • MAX. If you go MENU 2 - 7 - 2 you can see what contacts you have in Phone or SIM. Bu stop there unless you want to Copy all from one to the other.

  • Hi. I can't chose only mobile memory in contact list, just mobile and sim card together. Is there a way to chose only one of them?

  • Don't agree about Reception. Speaker is so good you hardly need a hands free in the car. If it's a new phone, have you taken the cellophane cover off the screen?!

  • Its a battery problem issue i had a samsung D500 and it would behave exactly the same way. Manufacturer should Modify the batteries

  • Have had this phone for about 2 years, love the sleek design feel and the interface. Although, I cannot recieve mms (picture/video/sound) messages I have AT&T and tech support says the phone won't support that, also can't save directly to external mem. with photos/videos etc.

  • try putting one in a few times, eventually it should ask for a PUK code, call your carrier and they have the PUK code, it is dependant on your SIM card, so if you change SIM cards then the PUK code will change. Once u put PUK in it will ask you to select a new PIN and then verify that new PIN

  • how do i get my samsung cd 2 work so i can transfer stuff 2 the computer

  • what can i do if i forgot my secrity code??i changd it...but cant remember what it was??

  • If you use internet on your unlocked D900, regardless of you plan, you will be charged 5 cent per kb. Your profile setting should be http:/wap.fido.ca

  • About the Samsung D900. There is nothing wrong with the battery, just when you charge the battery to full bars, don't charge it til it has two bars or less, that way the battery lasts longer. The only bad thing bout the Samsung D900 is the camera flash at night, its not the best and the picture quality of it at nigh while taking pics is poor. Other than that this is an excellent phone and easy to use as well.

  • i've have the d900 for 2 years ,still going strong it's an excellent phone for a simple person,this is about the best phone by far,easy to use,some might say it's better than the newer samsung models,it's my phone and i luv it

  • why is it that all the SAMSUNG D900 i have seen has a screen problem

  • does anyone know what to do to get the internet working my phione is unlocked and fido sent me messages on how to set it up but i am cunfussedd :S

  • I have had this phone for a while, got it off a friend who had no problems with it and liked it a lot. But I don't. Here are the reasons: 1. the battery isn't bad, but it can jump from having three lit up to none, or two to none. So it's only with time that you kind of get to judge when the battery is almost dead. A bit annoying and unreliable. 2. The text messages don't get saved automatically to the sent items folder, I find this annoying. 3. the most recent thing the phone started doing is if you're texting a few people at the same time, it mixes the messages and numbers, say John texted back, it'll display Jack's and vice versa. It can get annoying especially if you haven't noticed it as you replied, and since the messages don't get saved automatically to the sent items... well you see where I am coming from. 4. the cancelling message function doesn't seem to do what it says. As you click to cancell messages, it says messages cancelled and saved to the outbox.... however it actually gets delivered to the receipient anyway! 5. This is just being picky, but I find the buttons very annoyingly loud, the whole library can hear you if you are texting someone... 6. Customizing the shortcut keys (up down left right) is handy except the up key has a preset shortcut which you can't change and the ok key goes straight to the internet... 7. the camera shutter speed is painfully slow so the camera is virtually useless. The good stuff, the slider is very sturdy, the display is fairly customizable, phonebook is easy to use...

  • If I get a battery it would be the third one. And many people around me have the same problem. Samsung also admitted it, and they brought out the i version. And then gues what battery Im using atm..... The i version, and still, a day of use. I think thats bad, cause I do like the phone much!

  • what is the problem about the battery? please tell me because i will buy this phone this Christmas..

  • I would suggest you need a new battery. My phone lasts 4 days minimum.

  • a very good and compact phone.........battery v.disapointing!!!overall very neat.this phone can last u ages if u keep the screen protected!!!

  • a very good compact phone.....but battery v.bad!!!

  • Compared to phones nowadays (Dec 2008), its not top of the line anymore but its still a great phone. Excellent construction quality. The brilliant display is very clear. Ergonomics: Very easy and very comfortable to use. Its got all the basic features that phones come with: calendar, calculator, alarms, etc. Call volume is good, as is the ease to type texts. Responds quickly and can play MP3s and some videos as well. On the downside, it is lacking in terms of state of the art technology: 3G. 3MP camera has a very severe 'shutter lag' - so if you take a photo at max resolution, you'll have to keep your hand (and the subject) still for at least 2 seconds. There's no radio and the java has issues (typing errors sometimes pop up in java apps such as opera mini). There also seems to be an issue with some batteries (maybe a bad batch). My battery lasts about 3 days on low usage and under 2 days on moderate to high usage. This is quite frustrating at times. Overall, I've had my d900 since early 2007 and it is still a phone I'm proud of. If you can keep the screen protected, this phone can be a great companion.

  • the battery life and camera qualities are very poor. the phone is not simply what the manufacturers claim it to be. i will not recommend it for my enemy.

  • A huge joke. Have to charge it every day! And I dont even use it that much. Bleutooth is off, GPRS is off, light settings are minimum. I dont get it. The only bad thing about the phone.

  • battery is a joke!!!!

  • this phone is great it looks slick and holds great. but is true any java applications are terrible and browsing facebook is also very very poor

  • This phone looks great and is great to hold... but performance is poor and when working with Java applications even worse. I wouldn't recommend buying this phone to anyone. Take my word for it.

  • Usman: Thanks for your detailed comparison. I have also installed the new Vicky dictionary from your site which is way better than SMD. Appreciated!

  • Still, Opera Mini 1.27 modified version is better than 4.2 beta. With 1.27 modified version, you can create OM skin (with every possible color), save as a skin (.col) file (less than 1KB size) on card, import other skin files, import/ export bookmarks as (.htm) file. I have saved 196 bookmarks in Opera Mini 1.27 with many sub folders (and every sub-folder has more sub-folders) and exported these bookmarks as htm file (34KB size only) to memory card. With 1.27 modified version, you can play sound (.amr) files, read text (.txt) files, view JPG images (fullscreen) directly from memory card, delete single entry from history, open multiple web pages/ supported files using tabs (as in PC browsers), select any link and open in new tab etc. I had successfully loaded 10 web pages simultaneously in 10 tabs and browser speed was still OK. All above things are IMPOSSIBLE in official 4.2 beta version but there are some features which are absent in 1.27 version like better video streaming (from sites like YouTube), zoom feature, PC-like browsing, syncronize bookmarks/ notes from PC browsers etc. With 1.27 modified version, you can save web pages in every folder of internal/ external memory of mobile while 4.2 beta official version can save web pages in ONE folder only which is a major disadvantage! Both versions have some advantages/ disadvantages but 4.2 beta version has more disadvantages. I have uninstalled 4.2 beta version from my Samsung E200 and now I am using 1.27 modified version only. Today, I have uploaded 5 new skins of Opera Mini on my website. Page link is: usmanafzal(.)110mb(.)com/operamini%20skins.htm Note: Remove brackets () from above URL. And copy/ paste it into address bar of PC browser. (USMAN AFZAL)

  • Usman: Which is better-Operam Mini 1.27 or 4.2 beta?

  • Rajesh, Did you try to install Gmail 1.0 on D900 from my website? Because I am using it on my E200. Please reply soon!

  • Usman, Gmail app is not compatible with D900 and most of the samsung phones due to license agreement problem. Looking for some user's feedback...

  • New GMail version 2.0.6 shows "JAVA game error". Previous version 1.5 was working fine on my Samsung E200 mobile (both E200 and D900 have almost same JAVA compatibility). But I uninstalled it to free some space for other JAVA softwares. Now I have found another old one Samsung compatible version 1.0. You can download GMail 1.0 and Google Maps 2.0.1 official version (not unofficial GMaps) from this page : usmanafzal(.)110mb(.)com/java_games6.htm Note: Please remove brackets () from above URL. Then Copy/ Paste it into address bar of your web browser to open this page because Gsmarena doesn't allow to post URLs. (USMAN AFZAL)

  • Finally got my video cable in the mail so my problem is solved. Just in case some is looking for the key sequence I was looking for, this is what it should be Top left key (menu) 2 (Phonebook) 8 (Management) 2 (copy all) 2 (to sim) Top left key (options) 1 (copy) This should do it - I think the previous postings about sequence missed out the (options) key at the end. cheers

  • Ok, to bad. Then I have to wait till my Nokia N73 is back from repair. There I had it.

  • Pep; Gmail app is not compatible with this phone

  • Google maps works now. Thanks. But my Gmail wont work! Still! And thats the most important app for me!

  • @KKD Do you have a TV-out cable? You may possibly view the display on the TV screen and operate.. Try

  • Try both method( Maxima & Pep) because the "management" option differ depends on the firmware(for me, it is menu-2-8).

  • Pep: I could Install GMaps version 1.28.18 (quick download code in getjar:8938). However I don't know how it works as I do not have a GPRS connection. Remember, you cannot install java games/application on memory card!

  • Pep: I could Install GMaps version 1.28.18 (quick download code in getjar:8938). However I don't know how it works as I do not have a GPRS connection. Remember, you cannot install java games/application on memory card!

  • Hey, Ive tried to install Gmail and Google Maps on my phone, but hey are not working. But its Java based, and the D900 supports that. The error I get is: Misstake in Jave app. What could I do to install it. Ive tried to download it from the internet and then it doesnt work. Ive tried it to install it through USB. Installed it on my memory card. What else can I try?

  • Left topsoft key!

  • Thanks guys but I forget which one the MENU button is

  • 1. Menu 2. Phonebook (middle upper one) (or press 2) 3. Go to 8 4. Go to 2 (copy all) 5. Go to 2 (copy to sim) Should do the trick! If you dont succeed, tell us here!

  • KKD. MENU 2 (phonebook). 7 (Management). 2 (Copy all). 2 (to SIM). OPTIONS 1 (Copy).

  • Hi folks, I sat on my phone accidentally and broke the display so I cant see anything now. I need to copy all contacts to the sim. can anyone with the D900 provide me with the key sequence. thanks in advance

  • Tap in "cracked" in Search Opinions above.

  • hi. i sat on my phone and the screen cracked. i can still make calls but i cant see a thing. what do i need?

  • Menu/settings/phone settings/usb settings select MASS STORAGE. Connect phone to pc with data cable. In 'my computer' you'll find the memory card drive, as usual, when you use a pen drive.

  • Thats a problem, you cant for as far as I know. The best way to put imgages, music etc (beside games) on youre memory card, is trough a cardreader. Most computers have them. If you dont have it, go to a electronic store, and buy one. They arent that expensive! When you have one, put the Micro SD in the adapter to make it a SD card. Then put it into youre computer. It will regonose it as a external memory. There you can put youre images etc. For games I say, check the perfect guide of Usman, there he perfectly tells how to do games. I personally dont know, I always download them directly on the phone from the internet! If you have further questions, ask them! Cheers!

  • Thanks a lot pep, I transfer my contact list from SIM to PHONE and now I can easily set CALLER IMAGE. My problem has been solved. Thanks again. Can u help me to read my mobile memory card on computer (through USB)data cable because i have installed D900 software to my PC and access my data in my mobile's built in memory but not from MEMORY CARD. How i can access my Memory card on PC through D900 original Software?

  • Youre contact, are they on sim or phone? For Photo call the contacts should be on the phone. (make a back up if you put them on the phone)

  • Thanks Maxima, I follow your instruction to set caller image but failed. 1. Menu 8-3, i select photo and press OK. then I go to options 4.2 (here i face problem when i press 4.2 (when i enter/ok to caller image then a message appears EMPTY. this problem i m facing, please help!

  • WAHEED. Go MENU - 8 - 3. Select photo and press OK. Then go OPTIONS - 4 - 2. Select Contact from list. Then press OPTIONS and select. Caller Image will appear on the incoming call from that contact.

  • How I can set Photo Caller Id on my D900 ?

  • JO. No - I pretty much use it like a telephone. Sorry!

  • Maxima, have you installed any GPS application like gmap on your cell?

  • Maxima - feel a right prize plonka now! Can't believe I actually wrote the word shaking and STILL didn't make connection! I can work microwave and drive car, but obviously techno ability doesn't apply to smaller items! thanks again Maxima.

  • DOMINOE. Such is life. Now u know why the icon was shaking!!

  • Thank you for setting me straight! Yes....of course! I put the phone into vibrate the other day before school, but I didn't make the connection - what a dingbat!! Thanks again! D.

  • DOMINOE. You are in Vibrate mode for incoming calls. Go MENU 9 - 4 - 1 to change.

  • Well, I never had that, but you can check the site of Samsung. There is na users manual you can download (PDF). You might wanna check that out!

  • Hi - I wonder if anyone can help. I have had this phone for about 18 months and I think it's great. However, on the screen has appeared an icon that I do not recognise. I have since lost the book and so can't look it up! Top right of the screen next to the battery strength; A red square with a white one on the top - may have the impression of it shaking? I hope someone can help - it's driving me mad!!

  • the phone is great but get realy boring no good features had for only two months and im buying another phone and call quality is horible i always hear and ecko only good things are it is very nice and flashy and outstanding camra nice phone

  • The phone is very sleek and has all the features, the picture quality is as good as 2008 model phones, but when it comes to battery life... well lets not go there

  • Rajesh, Can you plz explain a bit about the gmaps/gps you installed on your cell. How does it work? What all you are able to find out with it? Version?

  • Your opinion about the JAVA softwares is not correct. Samsung D900 can run huge amount of JAVA games/ softwares. A very small list is given below: Sun mobile Dictionary - Freeware full version (offline english to english dictionary having 12000 words/ meanings) JAR Size: 423KB Read Maniac (offline/ online text file reader) JZIPMAN (compress/ uncompress ZIP, RAR, GIF files from memory card) Mini Notepad, MyNotes, Upvise, CellBox, File Hide 1.2 ( hide/ unhide files of phone and memory card files) Opera Mini 3.1, 4.1 (Official) Opera Mini 2.0, 2.2, 2.7 (unofficial modified versions) Mobile World Facts 2007, 2008 (1.4MB JAR Size) Super Mario (Bros, Planet, Kart versions) Millionaire (CE, SE versions) MobiCast (live cricket scores updates through GPRS) The Messiah (encrypt files of phone / memory card) Flurry mail, BlueFTP, Agassi Tennis, Quran 1.0, Rayman3, Tom and Jerry, Chess 1.0, Mini Commander, MobyExplorer, KD Player, PAC Man, World Flags, Glass Player, File Lock, MP3 Cutter, WWE RAW, EQO (chatting software), UC WEB6 (web browser), Tea Shark (web browser) And the list is endless.... Simply say that you don't know how to install JAVA softwares into D900. Use WAP/ USB/ Bluetooth methods to install these. (USMAN AFZAL)

  • iv had the phone for over a year it is a very good phone the downsides to this phone are that it cannot run java aplication my screen cracked so i am looking for a new phone at the moment the screen only cracked because i squished it on a ride in Alton towers it is a good phone and it is worth buying it

  • I love my phone....its better than my friend sony ericsson w380 phone.... the w380 is a waste a time..

  • Yes, it is possible with D900. Currently I am using gprs connection of Samsung E200 on PC through both USB and bluetooth connections. But internet through USB connection is fast as compared to bluetooth.

  • is it possible to connect to the internet via a blue tooth connection??

  • www.mobile9.com and if you go to links above this page, you get all kinds of websites with free themes, games etc... Might wanna take a look there, might be some usefull links for you and then you also have a bit more choise then the 2 sites that are given now! cheers!

  • There I have to disagree with you. The N73 has way better pictures!

  • zedge.net

  • Search "usmanafzal" on google and open USMAN HOME PAGE. You can download Samsung compatible games and also games installation guides from above site.

  • how can i download games in mah D900...and also the themes.... please help me...thanks

  • Yeah...D900 is a nice phone...The camera excellent...The picture samples is very sharp and clean...I like it...I think D900's camera better good than Nokia N73 and SE K800i...

  • which site to download themes can anyone help me

  • hi , i have had this phone for almost 2 years ! it is great but i am now upgrading to lg secret. the only problem is the low memory (though u can get a memory card) and i foujd that the battery died after only a day or 2. Also the camera is very slow taking pictures... other than that it is fantastic and a very reliable phone.

  • Personally I would go for the N82. N73 is a very nice phone, using it myself, but he N82 is more steady with the software. And beside that the N82 has better specs, good cam, HSDPA, WiFi, GPS. The N73 has a good (but less) cam, instead of the HSDPA, UMTS (works good, but is a bit slower), no WiFi, no GPS. So I would go for the N82 Black

  • This a great phone, I have had it for two years but I'm looking to upgrade, do you think I shpuld go for n82 or n73 music edition

  • Hi Usman, I have been trying to download games to my Samsung D900 but cannot since it says the file format is not supported..can you please tell me what software I need to install to play games and where I can download them from?My email address is [email protected]

  • Good job Usman!! To those who use this method: You may keep your excisting APN name like "wap.fido.ca" rather than changing it to "internet".

  • Download latest version of "games installation" pdf guide for D900 from my site. I have removed some steps which are not needed. Now, it is more easy to understand than before. D900i users must download "Install games on E200" PDF guide which now contains usb & bluetooth method. You can use bluetooth method with your D900 mobile just as given in E200 guide. The only change is the different JAVA activation code. (USMAN AFZAL)

  • I have had a D900 for almost 2 years, its been a great phone, till about a month ago, some of the keys, on the right hand side (3, 6, 9, 0, and 5) have stopped working, they will work if you push them hard enough, only sometimes but, haha. And as a result the 3, 9, and 9 keys are all cracked, from pushing so hard, with half of the 6 key now missing. This is the only issue I have had with the phone but. Going to give Nokia a go now, only cause I don't really like the current Samsung lineup. The D900 is a great phone but guys. :)

  • Jup it is. in total 200. thats icluded send, inbox, outbox, maps....

  • heyy i wanna install gamez through usb. But not with usman's procedure, it is much difficult and havent worked on my set. heyy JO plz help me if u have any easy method for installing gamez.

  • I have successfully installed many games like Prince of Persia (The two thrones and Warrior within), FIFA Football etc. via USB cable. If you need such games, plz contact me.

  • Go to send messages, and delete all.... or when you text someone choose for just sending and not for send and save

  • TO bb. Search "install games" at foot of this page.

  • excellent phone only problem is that it cant install games

  • ABRAR. Heating of handset is normal. Don't worry.

  • Can someone please tell me if there is a way to delete names of people that i recently texted? Thank you!

  • I bought this set some days ago, but when i use it for some time, it got heat up. Can some one tell me whether it is serious?

  • CJ, I have not. If you search for "flashing" in the search box at the bottom, you can read some early posts regarding flashing.. I recommend you read all those. In my reply to YARIK , on 2007-04-23 04:33, there is a link to guidelines on D820 flashing.

  • Rajesh, have you ever flashed your cell? Can you enlighten with the procedure, may be a guide like your tips&tricks!

  • this is a mobile with fix rate (brilliant)

  • no this mobile has not radio ,...bt it is the the best to aall comparable mobile

  • hi sanjora, try to resize the picture on your computer and turn it into the phone's resolution which is 240x320

  • A nice piece of machinery. I've had it for almost two years now, and I really don't have a need to substitute it. The camera is quite poor, though, at least when used in the highest resolution. Another bad thing is that it's impossible to use mp3-sounds as sms-notification sounds. The design is awesome, the screen is big enough. It's a nice telephone which I can strongly recommend.

  • how can i male wallpaper all over the screan

  • No radio

  • Yes,3 megapixel with flash

  • plz can anybody tell me this cell has radio or not>>>>>>>>

  • plz can anybody tell me dis mobile contains camra or not?????????

  • Plz look at the post of Rajesh dated on 2008-09-12 in reply to maricar

  • @ jo the feature of mobile tracker is not available for every firmware of d900. I have got this feature. And frm where can i get the tips of rajesh???

  • In "Tips&Tricks" there is a link to download a zip file about "SECRET MENU TIPS" and there you go!Look at the first.

  • Hi there thanks for advice but i cant see how i can remove this icon in tips and tricks... ??

  • E represents EDGE and G represents GPRS and it both depends upon the location and carrier. To remove the icon,if essential, plz read the "tips & tricks" of Rajesh.

  • Rajesh: By changing the theme display, I could activate the uMenu. Thanks. Appreciated.

  • On my cell,Menu-> Setting-> gives me 10 options with security as 7'th one. In security, I can see 8 options namely 1)PIN check 2)Change PIN 3)Phone lock 4)Change password 5)Privacy 6)SIM lock 7)FDN mode 8)Change PIN2 and I cant find any mobile tracker option. I have purchased it in last week in USA and currently using it in Canada woth FIDO connection. f/w version: D900UOFI5 s/w version: D900E.06 h/w version: REV1.5

  • Hi Does anyone know how to get the blue E off the top of the screen. i seem to have a problem recieving messages aswel?? it changes from a blue G to a blue E?? help

  • Sure? Did you check menu/settings/security for mobile tracker? uMenu represents the shortcut menu that pops up when you press 'up' key. And also the advanced shortcuts as I have described in my guide, for which you have to deactivate theme dialling display. I think all D900 firmware has these features (?) ____________________________________ Dr.Adedoyin, pleased to see you after some time. :)

  • How can we set the video output as mp4 or 3gp. I cant see an option to set it. Can someone plz help

  • Hi Rajesh, In my new D900, many features are missing like no mobile tracker, no uMenu etc. Is there any way we can add such features?

  • Greeting Rajesh, I stumbled on how to install java on G600 and i think i'll share it with you. It may likely work for D900. If it does, then one wouldn't have to go into all the trouble and steps of the phonetutorials site or Usman's method. Since i don.t have my D900 anymore, i'll send it to your gmail to try out. Cheers and keep up the good work in D900 forum.

  • when i first got this phone i hated it but now i cant bear the thought of getting a new one.even though the battery is really bad and the camera isnt so good either

  • heyy maricar. u can surely off ur keypad tone. Go to the menu 9, 3, 6 and then change font type to normal. Then go to menu 9, 4, 2 and off ur keypad tone. If u dont wanna change ur dialling display then there is an alternative way.

  • i just bought this phone i cant make it silent even if i mute all,,, and also i cant off the keypad tone because i cant open the keypad tone??? so when im texting its too loud i cant even change to low is anyone also cant go to keypad tone? because when u press it it till wont open? pls help

  • this has been far the best phone.it hasnt given me any problems.i have up grade sence but still use this phone.best samsung on the market

  • Yes. Press and hold the volume control keys. You have also an option for a reject sms, see settings/phone settings/volume key

  • is there a silent option while ringing an incoming call?

  • So next time buy a Samsung D900

  • i bought 2 phones . features are very gud . user friendly. However LCD scren of both phones damaged in 4 mths and it was not under warranty . its hard to get spare parts and cosly too. may be hadle with care phone

  • Battery life isn't really superb i feel... Taking few photos just drain the battery. but the auto-focus is commentable. It is really very clear and precise.

  • I had this phone for 1 year plus. It spoiled straight after warranty ended in a year! Roar! Well, samsung phones spoil easily eh? I am afraid to purchase anymore! Anyway, this phone is really user-friendly, can select simply pressing 1 2 3 4 5, easily. However, the keypads are really sucky. TOO FLAT! Typing message become a chore. The camera is good, but it becomes really horrible at dark places. The phone is plain... forever stuck between the 2 plain themes of white and black, which is really boring for me. Phonebook can store many contacts, great. Also, there is no freedom of message alert and the music player is way toooo soft and very laggy when playing music from a memory card. Internal memory is too little too. in conclusion, this phone is user-friendly but has lots of set backs.

  • he realy have stereo speakers?

  • Global Mobile Awards - Best Mobile Handset or Device of 2007

  • I have found this set very nice and rocking...... Battery life is superb.(abt 3 dayz in use) Camera is very good in outdoor. Sound is normal but of good quality. Colours r excellent. Look is great and is light weight Price is also in budget. What do u want more???? If u wanna buy this set then go 4 it......

  • Does anyone know a site where I can download some nice games and videos like soccer videos for free

  • Format the memory card in the phone itself(recommended) or through the pc before you use

  • Visit usmanafzal.110mb. com and download install games on x700 After downloading jar and jad files to your pc, proceed as directed in the above guide.

  • Plzzz frnds tell me how can i install softwares and gmez on this set????? Not only a single software is runnung. I m waiting for a reply.

  • It depends on what you wanna do with the phone! I personally would go for the D900, it works nice, has a good document reader, nice cam, nice mp3 player, works simple actually in all kind of ways!

  • Thanks for the suggestion RAjesh but the problem is same...... A removable hard disk appears but It doesnt work. yaar I think there is a problem in my memory card. BTW plzz tell me how can i install softwares??? Tell me the name of that site frm which u have downloaded softwares and do tell is softwares r working on ur D900???? The softwares i have downloaded frm getjar r not working

  • ACCESSING PHONE AND CARD MEMORY For browsing phone memory you need the software PC Studio. You can get it from here(select vista/xp as the case may be) For browsing the memory card you need no software. Go to menu/settings/phone settings/usb settings... and select MASS STORAGE. Connect to PC using cable. Memory card will be displayed as a removable storage in My Computer. Click 'safely remove hardware' icon in the tray before disconnecting the cable; otherwise card may get damaged. Once it is disconnected, the usb settings go back to 'modem' from mass storage. Hope this helps.

  • Hi I don't know what happened to my previous post,maybe Pep has answered to my question,I asked people to compare D900 with A1200 from motorola,and mainly the people who have used them. Thank you guys.

  • Visit usmanafzal.110mb. com and download install games on x700

  • Plzzz help me....... i have downloaded a lot of softwares frm mig33 but none of them is running on my D900, however the softwares are compatible 4 D900. what should I do???

BTW i wanna ask frm the users of this phone that how can i transfer data by using data cable to my pc???? I dont have drivers CD of D900. Is the CD of driver necessary for the data transfer??????

  • I would go for the D900(i) Better cam, better calendar, overall actually a better phone. Wich one is also good is the N73 from Nokia.

  • BILL; You should subscribe for mms first. Contact your operator.

  • Why do I keep receiving a message of "unkown suscriber" When i try and send an animated message or someone is sending me a photo. I used to get these messages from my old phone

  • Vista version of PC Studio;

Like this it should work, whats the precise thing that Vista ask why it doesnt get happy of the software of samsung? you can also reach me at pep_slipknot [a] hotmail dot com

  • Thats not possible, thats the only bad thing about this samsung, you can only save things in the phone memeory. Just make a couple of video's and edit them together on the phone! Like that is the only way to make a video that long!

  • is it possible to install software in Vista. My computer is not happy to let me install Samsung software. Any help?

  • One solution is to install something, a small game or so, THROUGH WAP first. Then try usb method

  • I was wondering if there is a night mode for the camera????? The photo samples show a night mode... but I can't find it on my phone... :( Night photos are awful even with the flash

  • This document viewer have got a little more options than it's said here. It can open html, bmp, txt, jpg larger than d900 can make. If one copy html file with folder containing whole graphic from a site d900 will open a complete site which you can zoom in and out (well, maby without swf animations). For me it's a superb phone.

  • Thank you for that info Rajesh

  • At good light conditions, the maximum frame rate is around 17fps. The difference is that it records in mpeg-4(better clarity) whereas the models which record at 30fps does this in 3gp only.

  • Some say if i drop the video record resolution to qvga it will record at 30 fps but trying this still seems to blur whilst panning even slowly,,any one shed any light

  • HSN, I agree with you, I have been using the D900 since december 2006, then two weeks ago I gave it to my son and I bought the HTC Touch Diamond. Then,... guess what... I sold the Diamond, which is a nice toy to show to friends at the pub, but not good for professional use, and I bought another D900! (However, I use also an HTC TyTN as pda, which is a great device)

  • I am using the d900 since 2yrs and i yet dont feel like changing my phone. It has not given me any service/repair cost as yet. Its one of the fully packed phone. This phone is a must have One. I have seen lots of ppl using similar n0kia phones but they tend to change their phone every 8-9 months, due to repair n hanging software.

  • Sounds like your LCD has packed up, replace it and phone should be good as new

  • If it tells u unsupported file it means that content or format is not compatible with the phone, nothing u can do about it, phone supports the usual 3gp, jpeg formats etc

  • The d820 and d900 have a tendency to overheat thats why it shuts down, memory is also poor so if u surfing wap for a while expect it to shut down, try using an opera browser, change networks from edge to gprs, doing above i find stabilises phone

  • Contact yr network and ask them to send u email settings, sum charge a monthly fee for it, or get pop3 settings for free wap email, google it, phone doesnt come standard with email settings, u can send email on it but u got to set it up first

  • im not able to recieve emails, I get a "email server access error" i dont know what to do? please help

  • I have this phone for about a year now, well actually, it is my second D900i, and that's not because it's an amazing phone.. The first one was broke all the time (returned it 3 times! Samsung gave me a new one the third time). The second one was good for 5 months, now, once in a while, the buttons don't work anymore and the phone just quits, he shuts off... The well praised sight of the phone only holds a few months, i always took care for my phone but it just wasn't enough. The D900i is the one with the nice metal-like look, well, i can tell you, it's just plastic that peels off very easy... I have to admit that the software (except from shutting down all the time) is a nice piece of work. My opinion to the camera is this: great quality. But just don't buy this phone, I don't want to be a bad Samsung-hater but this phone is just not worth all the money. There are a lot of simular phone's these days.

  • i had this phone for about 6 months until one night i tragically lost it in a nightclub :( i completely loved it! best phone in my opinion! good camera, lovely design! i miss it...

  • You go onto slideoptions to get it too make noises when you slid it. Very disapointed with it. The screen was hopless!!!!!

  • I have one and there are some unforgettable error from samsung in this phone. You can�t put an mp3 ringtone on sms alert. The camera is to slow and you have to stay sill for 3 to 4 seconds every time you take a pic. And other error when you put the camera in full screen mode. This sucks. But it is a good phone after all.

It's always been extremely slow in loading photos, I'm taking painfully slow. - when you can get a good shot, it's a good camera though. decent video camera, although needs excellent light to work Recently the audio recording has packed up. no sound from recorded videos anymore, and it cuts out audio in calls for seconds at a time. That said these problems are recent. Good phone, to use as a phone

  • I have decided to buy D900 for one reason only that is reading MSM messages easily because I had a problem in reading MSM on some other mobile brands purchased before D900, after few weeks I had my first problem with the D900 no enough memory to store all messages I receive during a month. After 8 months( end of march 2008) the display got damaged or broken and I could not use it since because the dealer asked for 80 US dollars to repare it. Now I am planning to buy another mobile.

  • Legendary Phone.... mark my words for it

  • please help, people... i need to buy a new phone ASAP... i cant decide between g600 and d900... camera is not a big plus...just tell me if you have experience with both phones, which one is better according to price... or just tell me your opinion which one should i take... thank you in advance.....

  • it's been a year and 2 months since I got this phone. I'll start with the bad things if I may say so: it's pretty resistant , I scrateched it a bit since some sand got between it and the case which I was carrying it in , never used it ever since , better off with. (however if u don't look from a certain angle the image is flawless) 2nd thing is that the light gray parts have worn off which I excpeted to 3rd was a bit unexpected. the keypad with arrows has a slightly black glowing colour which surprisingly some of it wore off and looks a bit like corroded paint but also you can't see it if you don't look from the right angle it's not that obvious to the naked eye. I dropped it for 3 or 4 times highest from about 1 meter and no scratches I do have problems hearing it but it's not all that bad music is ok (I cut the handsfree made an adaptor to use any type of headphones with 3,5 mm jack btw the handsfree got 32 ohm not 16 like most would think) I'm in a bit of a rush now maybe post later :P

  • My experience, I've been using this for more than a year now, but it never freezed a single time !

  • had this phone 4 nearly 18 months and thought was a great fone (dropped in bath and still worked). only thing 2 months b4 end of contract battery wouldnt charge, so didnt have a phone. exactly same thing happened to my husbands only he had the e9oo.

  • I had the D900 for two years...loved the phone totally..it's the best. however if you're thinking of buying a new phone now get the G600, just bought mine today...pratically the same phone but obv better camera, looks more stylish and has more features..

  • @CRO. both g600 and d900 are great phones. either will do. samsung d900 does the job well. i just dropped my phone flat on the ground few hours ago but my phone still functions perfectly!

  • CRO. I have had d900 for 12 months and still think it is the business. Suggest you tap in g600 at foot of this page and search for comparisons.

  • please help, people... i need to buy a new phone ASAP... i cant decide between g600 and d900... camera is not a big plus...just tell me if you have experience with both phones, which one is better according to price... or just tell me your opinion which one should i take... thank you in advance.....

  • To Riyaad: So, you have "No game to run" error message when trying to enter into "JAVA WORLD" folder because you have DELETED all your JAVA games. You can easily enter into "JAVA WORLD" folder but first, you need to install a JAVA game through WAP internet. This is a JAVA software WAP link: developer.getmidlet.com/download.php?id=140 Note down this link which is the direct installation link of "Opera Mini 1.2 Modified" software. Open your mobile's WAP browser and goto "Enter URL" field. Now, type above URL and select "Options/ Open". This will directly install the JAVA software into your mobile through WAP. After installation, you can open "JAVA WORLD" folder. Now, you can easily change the network settings to install games through USB cable. Open "JAVA WORLD" folder and select the installed game. Press "Options". Now you can see these options on mobile screen: 1.Start 2.Delete 3.Details 4.Permission 5.Lock 6.Upgrade 7.Send information via text message 8.Memory status 9.Network Settings Select "Option # 9" which is "Network Settings". Now you will see another screen with these fields: APN, Login ID, Password, Proxy, Proxy settings Write down APN: internet Login ID : (keep blank) Password: (keep blank) Proxy: Disable Press "save". Now, you can follow the remaining procedure to install JAVA games through USB cable from this PDF guide: Note: The above options are for my mobile (Samsung E200) and your D900/ D900i uses same JAVA settings as E200. (USMAN)

  • Hey usman thanks again but the problem i have is that on my phone there is no options when i go to java world. i go in menu/applications/java world ... and that's as far as i can go. when i select java world i get a message 'no game to run'. I had games before and still when they were there the only option was to play the game i could not go into any options or settings in java world. Donno if u could help me on this one or anyone else. Thanks

  • @tals & Rajesh, Talking about upgrades, though not quite relevant on this forum, i'll suggest you consider nokia 5700. Not as expensive but has all the features of high end nokia n-series. I am using one and quite satisfied with it. I still have my precious D900 cos i use two networks. In a country like mine where nothing is ever working well, one phone and one network handicaps you.

  • Raju, camera lag is less in PAN FOCUS mode

  • it's nice to take n save pics to phone but it's litle slower and slows doun the phone in full size(3.2MP)Size, pics just better and great yaar. Like digital camera photo , Flash takes more battery and mp3 also

  • Hey Guys, I have this phone now for over a year but im having probably with my memory card. I have to switch the phone off a few times before it reads the card.

Thanks

  • Mona, It will be better if you read/search opinions before you post. You'll find the download url for Usman's java installation guide a few posts below. ................................................­.......... Dr: Sounds strange !!?

  • Hi everyone, i already have this phone & i really don't know how to install games via usb ?! i'll be happy if anyone can help me here or mail me !

  • Had one since they came out. Excellent phone does all you will need on a regular basis. Totally reliable great build, great camera. Only downer is the gloomy and limited colours. Voice clarity function is really useful and works extremely well. So why have the latest Samsung's retained the limited colours and ditched the clarity? Very disappointing on an otherwise good range of phones

  • D900 Tips...tricks...and more....

  • Tals, I was just commenting on Maxima's post. I don't know whether such a discussion has significance in this forum. However W890 seems to be a winner. Some people say that SE slim phones' sound is not that good through the phone's speaker. No need to bother about flash because SE attachable flash MXE-60 is superb! (if it is compatible with W890)

  • Hi Rajesh, i read the discussions about D900 upgrades. i want to upgrade my D900 and also think about SE. the new W890i seems amazing: the camera will have some missing features like auto-focus and flash (that is not that useful anyway) but: - will have a more solid, totally metal construction. - much better MP3 player. - more compact design. - amazing looks. what do you think?

  • To Riyaad: You can change APN of Java World on your D900 by selecting Menu/ Applications/ Java World/ Options/ Network Settings. Now you can see APN and other settings. (USMAN)

  • The Samsung D900 is exactly like the Samsung SCH-R610 from Cricket. The bad thing about the phone is that it can't bluetooth other songs and pictures, just contacts.

  • usman thanks for the tips man but i still can't get the games to load. i did everything on the page and got as far as putting the games on the uploader and i see the progression bar on the phone but then i get an error everytime. Well i think the problem is that this is no option to go in the settings when i go to java world on my phone (D900) so i cant change the APN. Is there anyway to get around this.

  • Tap in "freezes" at foot of this page and Search previous opinions.

  • Has anybody had a problem with their D900 freezing when using it

  • Thank you USMAN,,there is always a trick to get round certain problems,,

  • To Rajesh/ Maxima: I think, Samsung D880 is the better upgradation of D900 which has all the features of D900 (also picsel viewer & TV out & Themes) with DUAL SIM cards support (both SIMs are online simultaneously)+ FM stereo radio + Image Stamp + Dictionary software + Profiles + Video Streaming. but till now, in pakistan, it's price is around 21,000 pak rupees. I am not sure that it is available in INDIA or not but it is available in PAKISTAN. Hope that the price will drop down soon! (USMAN)

  • Rajesh. Go for the nokia n95! you will have no regret's! D900 was my previous phone.

  • what is a good size/resolution for pics? .... cause when i set something as wallpaper the text blocks some of the pic...the part that carries the date and time...

  • MAXIMA, clever! ;-) But I think samsung doesn't provide a free upgrade so i may go for another.... probably an SE (Still roaming around here....)

  • To Silent: If you are asking about MP3 Merger/ Splitter software then you can download this software from this page: To riyaad: In order to install games through USB cable, please follow the instructions given in this PDF guide: (USMAN)

  • how to get mp3 songs to my phone? ohh, and lyk what silent said, how to compress mp3 songs? thanks a lot!!! pls reply to [email protected] or here instead!!!

  • to anyone or to mr. usman... what's the website so i can compress my mp3 song in my phone?!? i have no time to look for all the 255 comments to find that website, help pls?!? anyways, this phone is the best :P. that's only my problem.

  • RAJESH. If you were offerred a free upgrade from the D900 what would you go for ?? Thanks.

  • hi everyone, can someone please email me the instructions for adding games via usb to this phone. i tried going to the skynet tutorial site found on the tips and tricks document but its not opening, i cant get on to the site at all. so if anyone can assist me that would be great. my e-mail is: [email protected] thanks

  • sumsung i550 has wifi and the coming G810..

  • which SAMSUNG phone has wifi connection? .... wish the d900 did :-(

  • i've been using D900 for over a year, it's perfect. never fails like nokia do. and the price and size compared to nokia with similar features is great. i recommend it to anyone who is dissapointed with SE or nokia mobiles.

  • does this phone got radio?

  • TO brynn: After joining 10 MP3 files into a single MP3 file, your D900 mobile will detect it as ONE MP3 file. I have a 70 MB sized MP3 file made from 15 MP3 files and my Samsung E200 plays this MP3 file easily. So, your D900 will also detect and play this kind of large MP3 file. (USMAN)

  • To usman,, have been to your site were you can join mp3s together,, if so can the d900 detect this? In other words say i join 10 mp3s together will the d900 detect only 1 mp3 s0 i can get 300 songs per playlist,, 30 x 10 =300 songs yet within the 30 d900 limit

  • Just getting used to it again but wen typing fast i keep putting + instead of gap but adapting slowly,,ha ha..

  • I have had d900 twice because sold it then missed its brilliance too much so bought another,so overall ive had the d900 15 months minus the 2 weeks after selling first one.. Have been round many fones but the d900 does such a lot and is light and reliable not like k850i thats gone in for third repair and n95 is playing up at moment so its back to this again,,the trusty d900 9.5/10 from me..10 is reserved for the perfect fone which will probably be the samsung g810

  • I have a problem with this phone the autofocus doesnt work anymore i already tried to full format d phone but nothing changed what should i do?

  • To VIKAS ARORA. Re Themed Wallpaper - Go MENU 9 - 3 - 1 and make sure Wallpaper says "Theme" not "Normal". If this is the case, then Wallpaper should change from country to country.

  • I bought D900 in London last year, where it was showing the picture of famous clock tower of London as a theme on the screen and i was told that as you visit different countries this theme will change as per that country. When recently i visited India it didn't show me the Tajmahal theme, which i read somewhere that it should show. Can someone help me with this.

  • can i put mp3 ringtones from my computer on this phone?

  • yes usman - agreed.

  • To SAUSAMA: NO ! Who told this nonsense?? I have used Samsung X700 for more than 17 months without any single problem. All functions of the phone (including keypad) are working excellently. Even today, it's software/ hardware looks as new one and NEVER sent to service centre. Samsung mobiles are more reliable and less problematic than any other brand. (USMAN)

  • is it really that all samsung phones will die after one year of normal usage?

  • Well, my problem still isnt solved, but at least thx for the help guys! I will see how I will do it so I can watch full lenght movies on my D900

  • To Kingston Yute: Please visit this page to download three different "Super Mario" JAVA games: I have installed these games on my E200 and hope that these will also work well on D900. (USMAN)

  • Usman....where did u get the super mario games? ...can u give a link please?

  • USMAN and Rajesh, thanks for the support. I will try it tonight, cause Im at work now.

  • Rajesh thanks for your help, i tryed all of your ideas but unfortunatally they didnt work so i took it to a electronics shop to have a look at it and they said it was a software problem so im sending it back for a replacement. thanks for your help yours brad M

  • To Pep: There is some problem with your 3GP file. Play this file on your PC using VLC Media Player. You can download this software from While playing, check the input bitrate of this video file in this software by going to : View/ Stream and Media Info/ Statistics Now check the input bitrate and note down any big change in these LIVE values at the time when the video stops in your mobile (around 40 min). I think, you have to create this 3GP video file again. (USMAN)

  • Pep, I have seen your previous posts. All I can say is the file format may be corrupted in some way. Incompatibility occurs while converting to 3gp divx formats using some applications. If you have converted it to 3gp from another format, you can try converting again using another software. Many are available in the web. Here is one , for example; I didn't give much importance to your issue because you said all other movies are playing without problem.

  • To Karim: You can't install JAVA softwares into memory card. This is ONLY possible in internal memory (4MB reserved for JAVA). As i know, this is for all samsung mobiles till now. I have about 30 JAVA games/ softwares installed on my mobile (Samsung E200) like Opera Mini 1.2 Modified (file manager/ download manager/ text file editor/ image viewer/ save web pages to memory card etc), Opera Mini 4 final, Opera Mini 3.1, Sun Mobile Dictionary (contains more than 12,000 english words/meanings and ability to add new words/meanings), KD Player (An audio/video player), Periodic table, Flurry mail, Gmail software, MP3 Cutter, The Messiah2, Read Maniac (text file reader), PacMan, SuperMario BrossNES, SuperMario Planet, PDF Reader, MobiCast and many more. I am also sending an email to you. Please check mails after 15 minutes. (USMAN)

  • Can someone please answer, this is my third post about it, and no one reply's. Does no one knows how to solve this? I have a little problem Ive put a movie on my phone (3gp file) and around 40 minutes it just stops. What could be the reason of it, all other movie's and short films play full lenght. Further Im still very happy with my phone! Only problem I have until now!

  • Loved this phone... but got a u700 now for a great price...

  • brad M Your post is a little confusing ;-) because there is no available size such as 1280x960 in D900 and 1280x960 is not 1.3MP either. The normal resolution for 1.3MP is 1280x1024. Therefore I assume that the actual problem is like this; " You have started camera in video record mode. The size of recorded video is 128x96 which is the smallest" (Excuse me if I'm wrong) And if this is the case, do as follows;........ start camera(video). Press left softkey(options) Select camcorder settings. Select recording mode(first option) to NORMAL. Then select size 320x240(size). This will solve the problem. Regarding the quality, superfine is the best but file size is too large and hence recording time short. You can switch between photo and video mode by pressing 1 once camera is started. In photo mode, you can directly select size upto 2048x1536(3MP) Hope you'll write back after trying this.

  • Hi Mak, You can try the custom reset method. Before that you must back up your contacts as this will erase all the contacts, both in sim and phone. No other data or files in phone/card will be deleted. Music playlist will get cleared, so you have to add songs from memory again. Your phone will be reset to the defaults. The PASSWORD will be reset to 00000000. To do the custom reset, Type *2767*2878# in standby. Wait for a few seconds for the phone to restart; if it doesn't, then switch off and on.

  • Wack; 2 out of 3 who explore the secret menu, put themselves into problems, just because they experiment with the values without knowing the result. I very well know this, that's why I always hesitate to discuss secret menu operations directly in this page. And that's the reason why I requested (you?)keesss to mail me, in reply to one of the previous posts here. However, I would have given you the original values, if yours is a d900. But as I understand, you have an E200, then Usman can help you better. (I have replied to your mail. pls check). Visit the below site to contact Usman, if you use E200;

  • what a great phone! when i was reading the specs i was like omg! im gonna get it for my birthday! its simple, not too expensive,and it is even better than samsung D900i!!! i totally love it!!!

  • Thanks for the clips. The 'The Virtual barbershop'is really a worthy stuff.

  • To CJ; Sorry, I don't have the full version of that track. Here is another sample of binaural sound recording- 'The Virtual barbershop': You need a stereo headset. IMPORTANT; make sure that the 3D sound in the music player(short cut key-4)is turned OFF. I repeat, it should be turned OFF while playing binaural rcordings. I shall correct it in my guide also. And for best results, close your eyes while listening. Caution; don't put too much volume at the first time. Try it, it's amazing. This sound track is superb with Jabra BT620s bluetooth stereo headset. ................................................­............... More 3D samples; 2 dogs(they never bark) dogs barking helicopter(not very impressive?)

  • Hi Rajesh, In your "Tips&Tricks4", a 3D sound demo is given which is too short. Where can I get some other 3D sound/song or atleast the full version of your demo.

  • Hi, I just got a D900i and I'm having problems with the battery - I'll leave it on charge for 12 hours and then 12hrs after that it'll need charging again! I'm only using it for texts and the occasional, very brief call. I've never known a phone to have such short battery life. Any ideas what might be causing it or anyone else had this problem? Thanks :)

Any advise,pls. i need mxit to chat to my friends and family as this is a cheaper way to keep in contact. is there another messenger that could work for the d900

  • ASRAR Your firmware is the first release in 2006 october and it is a release for an Arab country. Newer version is available in the page you mentioned. If you have no warranty, you may get the phone flashed at a service center. If you plan to do it yourself, get a tutorial from somewhere. You can find a link to D820 flashing in this forum. Type 'Yarik' in the search box at the bottom of this page to find my post to Yarik.(Don't know D900 flashing process is the same or not) You also need a FLASH CABLE, not the data cable for flashing. Click on the below link and scroll down the page to find the flash cable for D900. Regarding the firmware version, select D900XEFK1 in that page. A newer version D900XEFK2 is available here: I am not expert in flashing. Before adopting flashing, you may try this short custom reset method and see whether the bluetooth problem is corrected. But before doing this YOU MUST BACK-UP THE CONTACTS LIST, as this will erase all contacts. You may do this by using PC studio software(manage contacts or synchronise with outlook). The process: Type *2767*2878# in standby. Wait for some time. Phone will restart. If not, press red button to restart phone. THE RESULTS ................ 1. Your phone will be reset to the original settings. 2. Password will be reset to 00000000 3. Contacts will get erased 4. Music playlists will become empty(add songs from phone/card again) 5. No files in phone or memory card will be deleted. They are safe. The custom reset method is safe and if there is the slightest risk, that you have to take yourself :-) Goodluck !

  • thnx RAJESH for ur immediate response.. my firmware is D900JPFJ1... i got it as gift from my cousin who lives abroad.. it doesnt support any warranty claims...so i dont find any other solution to the problem...or i have to take it to the repairing lab.who will surely change its harware.. i hav consulted some ppl they say it might hav some problem with phone software... my bluetooth problem is that whenever i try to switch it on it says "activating bluetooth" this msg bar goes endlessly.. then i hav to slide down the phone to end bt. aftr taht if i open bluetooth again.the menu sshows that bt is off but if i try this time to switch it on..phone says it is already activated..but it is not searched by any device.... then if i press the switch off button the phone hangs nd i have to restart.. this is my whole problem..i will b greatly thankful to u if u tell me any solution without flashing the phone.

  • ASRAR,Think twice before flashing a phone. I hope you are aware of the conequences. Flashing will void the warranty of your phone forever, it may alter the IMEI, you may get some advantages and you will probably lose some features. To read more go to the bottom of this page and enter 'flashing' in the search box. Also the firmware versions given in that page are old releases. The newest in the list for D900 is Nov2006.(Flashing with a D908 firmware may change the language-not sure) And your phone is likely to have a new version. If you have difficulty in determining this, post the firmware code here and it will be explained. Type *#1234# in standby to get the code. My suggestion, you go back to the dealer as yours is a new phone. Btw what is the bluetooth problem?

  • this is the link to download flash files to upgrade ur firmware..... :82/52_user_upload/itanium/D908/

  • hey guys m a new d900 user.i got this abt 4 days ago.its bluetooth is not functioning properly.n i thought to update its firmware by flashing the fone.i think it will solve the problem.but i dont know how to flash it.i have the flash files n one nand downloader 1.8.but it does not detect the phone when i connect it for upgradation.please help me if anybody knows how to upgrade firmware.

  • Does this happen for every contact saved? Or some particular contact only?

  • Thanx for that, yea i figured it out by accident anyway. Another question, how come it doesnt recognise the number as the same contact when it starts with 04.. instead of +614? So if i have a contact saved in my phone, and i recieve a message from that person, their name doesnt appear above the message, instead their number does, but starting with +614 instead of 04. Do i have to change all my numbers to start with +614? i hope not! (+614 is the area code thing)

  • To Gideon P. Pieterse; A common issue. To confirm you are proceeding through the right steps, do as follows: 1. Uninstall PC Studio...... (..........insert the cd again......select language....select 'install sam pc studio'....choose REMOVE option....finish uninstalling..... .......now select 'install usb drivers'.....repair/remove option should come up.....choose remove and finish....if instead of repair/remove window, the installation wizard starts, that means you have not installed usb drivers in the first attempt, then cancel the wizard and exit set up .......exit set up and remove cd) 2.Disconnect the data cable from the pc, if it is connected. IMPORTANT; NEVER CONNECT THE DATA CABLE TO PC UNTIL YOU ARE ASKED TO DO SO. 3.Insert the cd again. Select Install pc studio. Proceed through the set up. Before you press 'Finish', UNCHECK 'LAUNCH PC STUDIO' option. This is to prevent pc studio attempting to connect before you install the drivers. (AT ANY STAGE OF SET UP, CANCEL THE LIVE UPDATES WINDOW. You may do it later at any time) 4.Install 'USB Driver'. After finishing this, exit the main set up window. You may install the sample media files now or later as you like. Don't remove the cd now. 5.Click on the samsung pc studio icon on the desktop. Select connection type as 'USB' and press next. When you are asked to connect the phone through data cable, do it. Ignore (not cancel) the 'add new hardware' window, if it pops up. 6. After a while, D900 will be identified. press Finish. If D900 is not identified and elapsed time goes on endlessly, cancel the connection wizard, remove the data cable from pc and connect again. The 'Add new hardware' window wizard will start. Proceed by pressing next and it will install the drivers. Then restart pc and try opening PC Sudio again. Try it and write back. Take care about the 3 points mentioned in CAPS, above.

  • Please help me. I tried to connect my Samsung D900 with my PC. All the installations from the CD was donloaded and I upgraded the D900 from the internet but still it refuse to connect with the UCB cable to the PC. I use Windows XP and was previously ok. Thanks for your support. Gideon P. Pieterse

  • I had this phone but soon got rid.The sound from this phone is brill but the camera is totally usless. The flash made the pictures darker. I seen better pictures from a vga.Also the menue is a pain to get use to. But if its sound your after then this is good but not for anything else. I quickly went beck to se after this one.

  • To SOROUSH; You can install java applications. Go to menu/browser/Enter url and enter http:// operamini.com. Follow the first link 'download operamini'. That will install operamini ver 4.0. If this version doesn't install properly, delete it, then go back to operamini.com and select 'Try the old operamini 3'. This will work without problem. Operamini 1.2 is a good web browser and also an excellent filemanager. The only minus of om1.2 compared to om 3.0 is that the available version is unofficial and not fully secure, for instance when you check mail etc. To know more about operamini 1.2, go to Usman's website by clicking this link: To install java through usb;

  • i understand maxima. but y use u go on a web site to find out about ur fone. thats the people in the fone shops are for. they should tell you why ur fone is all about.

  • WILLIAM. If I understand your posting correctly, yes this has become a question and answer Forum for operation of the excellent D900. The so called "User Guide" is a joke (I could say inadequate) so you need something like this. There is always someone here who can help. Next question please ! Happy New Year.

My screen is on the verge of braking and a screen repare is about 200 Euros. So i think i'll just get a new phone before this one totally dies

  • Usman, This post is made from opera mini 1.2. Excellent software as you said. Fantastic browser with wide possibilities. Files can be moved to any folder like downloaded image to my photos. Samsung file system restrictions overruled! Writing text also this fast with t9. Highly recommended

  • To all D900 users: Please visit this page to read FULL REVIEW of "Opera Mini 1.2 Modified" freeware software: You can also download this amazing software from above page. Some highlights are : (01) This is the WEB Browser (with OFFLINE support) + File Manager + Download Manager + Text Reader/ Editor + Image Viewer software. (02) Very fast web browsing. It can save web pages (complete/only images/only text) on memory card (or Other Files folder of phone) to read offline. (03) You can view JPG images in FULL SCREEN from memory card / phone's Images folder. (04) You can read and edit large text (.txt) files from memory card/ other files folder. (05) It has an excellent File Manager with a lot of capabilities for files/ folders like "Move/ Copy/ Delete/ New Folder / Rename etc" . (06) It has an amazing Download Manager just like FlashGet or any other that you have on your PC. Support of RESUME download. You can see the DATA TRANSFER RATE as well as the number of bytes transferred during downloading process. I know that this is not the complete picture of this amazing ALL-ROUNDER software. This is my promise that once you have used this software then you will not use again any other browser like Opera Mini 4 Final or 3.1 or any file manager like Moby Explorer / Mini Commander etc. This is the better replacement of all these softwares and the best thing is that it is FREEWARE. There may be bugs present since this is unofficial software. (USMAN)

  • Moon, you can't install java apps in that way. Enter 'java' in the search box at the bottom of this page and search

  • To Rajesh: This is the new downloading link of "Opera Mini 1.2 Modified" unofficial version. By mistake,I have deleted it's previous link. Now,it supports medium and large fonts.This is the new link: This is the WEB Browser + File Manager software. You can save web pages (complete/only images/only text) on memory card (or other files folder of phone) to read offline.I have saved many web pages (complete) on memory card after creating a folder through it's file manager.Very fast web browsing! I will include its full review on my website. This is amazing software. Better than Opera Mini 4 final version. (USMAN)

  • Hi!I'm trying to install .jad &.jar files on my D900 but whenever I install the JAD or JAR file, "the file is unsupported format error " shows up! I've checked the compatibility of these softwares and it's not the issue, it won't install any of these files. I'm downloading these softwares jad and jar files onto the computer putting them on the memory card and installing them from there. I've also tried copying them to the other files folder of the phone and installing them from there, but no luck! Thanks.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Jamaican Yute ; INSTALLING PC STUDIO THROUGH BLUETOOTH (USING DONGLE) 1. Turn on bluetooth in phone 2. Plug in the usb dongle to pc 3. Open the dongle bluetooth software. 4. Search for devices 5. Right-click on your phone's icon in the devices list and select 'serial connect' 5. A confirmation will be asked in phone. Select 'Yes'. 6. Insert PC studio cd and install the software. You need not install usb driver. 7. On finish, select 'bluetooth' as connection type.(Cancel live updates window) 8. Press 'next' and select 'connect....using connection wizard' 9. Press next till SGH-D900 is deteted and finish. ************************************************­******************************************** If this doesn't work, continue till step 5 and proceed as follows; 6. When the serial connection is established, find out the COM port of connection(virtual serial por- Example; COM4, COM17 etc). You can find it by right clicking the bluetooth icon in the notification area(right end of task bar) and select 'status'. Or look in the connection properties. 7. Note down the COM port number. 8.

The phone will be detected and installation completed. There may be slight changes for different dongle softwares. Please reply whether you could install pc studio. (Probably, the movie can be played by splitting it into 2 or 3 as suggested by Usman.)

  • Thanks Usman, I shall try the applications later and shall write back. Regarding messiah-2, I could decrypt my files using the recovery application sent by the developer through mail. Anyhow, messiah-2 is not working as smooth as messiah-1 in my phone. I shall try re-installing the app.

  • To Yute: Your 3gp video file size is too large. This may be the reason. Split 3gp video file into 2 parts with the help of windows based freeware software called "YAMB". You can download it from here: Install it into your PC and proceed. Then transfer these splitted 3gp videos into your memory card and try to play these. Hope it will work! (USMAN)

  • just got my d900.. and i love it! dont really care if i dont have a radio in it..anyway, a separate mp3 player (i.e. ipod whatsoever) should do that job! love the camera, its great! really stylish! and yeah, not overpriced like nokia phones.. :)

  • what i should have said is.... PC studio doesnt work with my bluetooth dongle.... it searches and searches for my device but doesnt findanything..... and i dont have the usb cable :-( ...anyway to sort it out?

  • what i should have said is.... PC studio doesnt work with my bluetooth dongle.... it searches and searches for my device but doesnt findanything..... and i dont have the usb cable :-( ...anyway to sort it out?

  • Raj.... thanks for the advice.... but PC studio doesnt seem to work for me

  • To Rajesh: "Messiah2" is working properly on my E200. Also Opera Mini 4.0.9800 final version is working fine on Samsung E200. I have installed D900 compatible version from here: It means that D900 has compatibility problems with some JAVA softwares.And yes, MobyExplorer has no "MOVE" option! If you want "MOVE" option for files in a file manager then try this file manager named "Opera Mini 1.2 Modified". You can download it from here: Zip file has JAD/ JAR files. Install it on your D900.I have installed it on my E200 mobile. This is an unofficial modified version of Opera Mini (for JSR 75 API supported phones) with a lot of enhancements like view JPG images in FULL SCREEN, text file reader + text editor with copy/paste words within a file, clear clipboard, write to file, etc. Select a file and you can see these options: Move, Copy, Delete, New Folder, Rename, Hidden files, Into bookmarks etc. I have successfully moved files from memory card to "My Photos" and "Other Files" folders of phone.I think, its file manager can compete with Mini commander or even MobyExplorer. It has "Save pages" option but not checked yet.It also has some bugs. Check these features! (USMAN)

  • JY, open the movie in pc studio movie editor. Select rendering, select 3gp, and save it. This will correct any incompatibility of data rate, frame rate or audio format. Still not working, then consider splitting into 2 parts. you can use pc studio for this

  • i was downloading some movies in 3gp format (eg. Smoking Aces) .. the file was about 105mb ...so when i tried to watch it ...my phone froze and i had to shut it off and back on.... is there anyway to fix this? ...mind u ...i've watched the simpsons movie on my phone earlier.... but it was like 80 mb ...

  • Usman, I have been using the older version of messiah without problems. I have recommended it through my D900 guide also, as you know. But it is the new version that causes problems. I tried my best but cannot recover my encrypted files now. Don't know whether this is an issue of D900 with messiah version-2. That is why I did not recommend it through this forum or my guide. I got a reply mail from Atul Alex Cherian, the developer, with some suggestions for recovery, but no better. He has promised to send me a recovery app, waiting for that. Btw, Moby explorer has no 'MOVE' option? (only copy?)

  • To Rajesh: This is really good news. You can also copy external images into "My Photos" folder of phone though "Mobyexplorer" software. I am using "Messiah2" software without any problem. It has real encryption method ( no rename file process). You can only recover your files through this software because if you see on PC, the encrypted folders of memory card shows as EMPTY (no files at all). While "Mobyexplorer" can show you the encrypted files so after copied to another folder and renamed , it shows "Unsupported content" on phone and on PC, access is denied for these renamed files. So, you can see how strong encryption method this "Messiah2" software uses. You can read complete encryption & decryption method of "Messiah2" software from this page: (USMAN)

  • ....USMAN AND ALL D900 USERS.... I have successfully installed moby explorer ! Just tried the basics. Great application. And now EVERY IMAGE IN D900 CAN BE ZOOMED, VIEWED FULLSCREEN, ROTATED AND ZOOMED IN FULL SCREEN !! Just copy images to OTHER FILES folder using Moby Explorer and the fun starts(Also refer tip 34 of my guide: ). Those who want to install this, don't adopt wap download, this may not work. Download Jar and Jad files from the link given by Usman in the below post. For usb installation, see this page: Sorry to say that those who have choosed D900-i over D900 may have to regret now because this makes a huge difference between these models. Any image in this phone can now be viewed full screen and zoomed. USB installation is not possible in D900-i. (Btw Usman, take care with messiah-2. I had already tried it, but have been put myself in trouble! I can't now decrypt any file. I'm afraid that they are lost ! I have mailed to the author and waiting for reply.) D900 guide will be updated soon with all these info. Now I can remove the last paragraph of Tip 34 which is quoted below : "......The only difficulty is that you can transfer the photos to other files, only via pc. I can�t find yet, a way to copy images from My photos to other files directly. Perhaps you can!" And I knew that somebody will find a way ;) Thanks, Usman!

  • Usman, This is a good news for all D900 users, because moby explorer is a fully loaded application. I have been trying to install it for a long time but always ending up in install error message. I shall try it soon and write. Thank you

  • To Rajesh: I have tried to download "MobyExplorer" on my mobile but it showed "Install Error" message. So, i download JAR file from the getjar site link that you have mentioned and made JAD from this. then it was successfully installed.This is 20 days unregistered version 3.0 but i think you can use it forever if you uninstall it before 20 days and again install it. All freatures are fully enabled (as i know). I will include a detailed review on my website soon. I can see all files/ folders of internal/external memory of mobile from this software. I can read / edit text files from this software along with these options: Edit, Save, Save As, Save As Encrypted, Find, Full Screen, Preferences etc. To open any file, press "5" numeric key or center "OK" navigation key TWO TIMES. Although, text editor is slow. To use Menu options, select the options like:connect, Edit, Actions, Protect etc and press "6" numeric key. Then press "OK" center key. Rajesh, this is the phone explorer that you are looking for. Because i have successfully copied images from "My Photos" folder into "Other Files" folder of phone through "MobyExplorer". But my E200 does not open image due to absence of picsel viewer. You can open it in your D900 easily. You can Encrypt and ZIP/ UNZIP any kind of file. There are more features available but i have only used this software for 30 minutes. You can explore more features. This is the downloading link of "MobyExplorer" software that i have uploaded as ZIP file (just unzip it and you can see JAR & JAD files): Please inform your experience about this software with Samsung D900. (USMAN)

  • Help!!!!,the battery which had normal time usage has stated crashing going down in under an hour's usage ,new battery same problem.Have I unintentualy set some function on the phone that drains the battery?

  • USMAN, here's a feedback Another useful contribution from you. I could successfully install mini commander. But cannot copy/move files between folders. The 'moving 1 file...' message appears for sometime , then it says 'insufficient disk space'.(I had enough memory in phone). Cannot move file even from my photos to favourite images. Moving files between folders is the main task that I consider useful. Other functions, we can perform easily without opening java apps. Is there any specific manner of doing file copy? I do it as follows: Press left soft key to go to the right pannel. Select the folder, into which file is to be moved. OPEN that folder. Come back to left pannel pressing LSK again. Open a folder and scroll to the required file. Press 0 to select. Press 6 to move. A confirmation question appears. I press LSK to confirm(OK). Then it shows moving... and finally insufficient disk space. I tried this with both verions. As you suggested, version 3 is a bit slow too. As we already know file system in samsung phones does not offer much freedom. However I've been trying to find out a suitable file explorer with which an image can be moved from images folders to 'other files'. If this becomes possible, then it will be a great step in increasing the usability of D900. Because, then one can zoom/view full screen etc with any image without transferring from computer. (tip of my guide ). Applications like 'moby explorer' doesn't work in this phone. (I'm not sure whether this phone has JSR 75) ­

  • Jamaican Yute ; Opera mini 4 is not working properly with my D900 also. Now you go to java games list and DELETE operamini, just installed. Then go to operamini.com again, and this time select 'TRY THE OLD OPERA MINI 3', on the next page, select 'download operamini'. This will install operamini 3.1.2. That's enough- I'm still using 3.1.2. Version 4 only contains some modifications.

  • oh i was wrong.... half way through the installation it cuts me off saying "failed to connect to the internet" what could be the prob?...it asked if i want to send socket info...i clicked YES.... then HTTP info...i clicked yes.... then it stopes a few seconds after

  • never mind...got it installed....

  • i tried to go on to the net(i was the one asking about the opera mini by the way..forgot to put a name..).... when i tried to go on it restarts my phone...how can i fix that?

  • There is a powerful phone explorer "Mini Commander" for your Samsung E200,D900 and other mobiles with JSR 75 API support. The main features of Mini Commander are as follows : (01) Full access of all folders & files which are on phone's internal memory or memory card. (02) Browse all images (JPG/GIF) in FULL SCREEN mode from phone's internal memory or memory card. For full screen view, images MUST have phone screen resolution (176 x 220 pixels for Samsung E200 and 240 x 320 pixels for D900). (03) Play sounds files (amr/ midi) with options like PLAY, PAUSE, NEXT, PREVIOUS. (04) Show file/folder properties of every file/folder by selecting file and press "1"key. (05) Read / Edit TEXT (.txt) files very quickly from both internal and external (memory card) memory of phone. (06) Some basic actions for files/folders like rename/ copy/ paste/ delete etc from both internal or external memory of phone. To read full working procedure or to download this freeware software into your mobile, just visit this link: (USMAN)

  • i just got a kingston 1 gig sd card and it says "Not Allowed" when i try to access it ...any help with fixing this? ...and i dont have a card reader to format it ...any other way?

  • Raj, you are the one and only! the song you have sent works fine on my D900-jabra pair :-) i guess it is the bitrate than... BTW i have retested the original song again and it is not working... i suspect the Jabra firmware and not the D900 as my D900 is newer than yours and my Jabra is older... the only strange thing that is left is that the original problematic song works fine on the Jabra from my laptop :-) thanks again in trying to figure this out, TalS.

  • Hi Tals, The track works fine with my D900 and Jabra !! I copied it to D900 through bluetooth and slected options/play via bt headset. It played well. Again I opened music player and added this track to the playlist. Then also it played without trouble. I selected next/previous track; no problem. So it may be a bug with your version of the phone?? Try switching off&on the phone. I often had problems connecting D900 with Jabra. Many occasions I had to connect and disconnect more than once. The only odd thing that I could find about the track is its high bitrate (320kbps). And bcause of that the short track(2m 43sec) has a large file size of 6.2MB !! So I converted the bitrate to standard 128kbps and have sent the new track to your mail. Try that also. I enjoyed the music . Thank you!

  • Hi Raj, I sent you another mp3 song that is causing issues over the mail. this time mp3 tags removal does not solve the issue as the last song i posted here with "content not supported" message. anyway note that this song is fine when played on the phone speaker, but cause big problems with the Jabra BT620s. Also note that the song is played well on the Jabra via a PC so it seems like a strange D900 BT620s compatibility. When I try to play it from the D900 via A2DP to the Jabra the playlist break and so is the BT pairing� Please check this song on your D900 and Jabra pair and let me know if it works. I am trying to understand all the issues D900 have with music. does anybody else had this kind of issue with D900 and MP3? 10x, TalS.

  • thanks rajesh! i downloaded the tips already...but i think i need to read it over and over again... nikinoki ( former SE fan never a nokia user)

  • To NOKI; java apps? Then read my post for 'bennyboiler', a few posts below(A tip for you; use the search box below before you post, this forum has a lot of information) Well, java installation through usb is not easy till you get practised. As your name suggests, if you came from NOKIa, then you may ind it hard to start with a samsung ;-) ................................................­..... D900 tips/tricks/downloads......

  • how can i install programs to my d900, it keeps saying that the file is unsupported...even i downloaded the compatible format...

  • thanks rajesh, take care

  • To take indoor picture you should have to set up your phone into automatic flash.

  • I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to install java games through a USB data cable, as my phone is not WAP enabled. Cheers

  • JASPREET. Go 4 it. For me it has everything but voice dialling, your own ring tone and FM radio. After 12 months I am still finding new features. Love it.

  • is it gd i want it 4 christmas n im nt sure if i should

  • Excellent handset, the camera feature is exceptional. I have had mine for more than 6months and so far I more than happy

  • HI..im trying to put the privacy on my phone but is asking me for a password do you know anything about that?

  • babygurl, If you want to download music from pc to memory card through DATACABLE, proceed as follows: 1. connect phone and pc, using data cable 2. Go to menu/settings/phone settings/USB settings and select 'MASS STORAGE' 3. Memory card will be displayed as a removable memory in 'My Computer' in your pc. Open it and copy/paste as usual. 4. When finished, click on the 'safely remove hardware' icon in the bottom right corner(system tray) and turn off the mass storage device there. Then only remove data cable. 5. Once you remove data cable, usb settings will go back to 'modem'. While in mass storage mode, you can't use the phone or browse the phone memory through pc studio. While transfering through bluetooth, files will be sent automatically to memory card (only) after phone memory is full. Hope this helps

  • thanks rajesh! sometimes i use my bluetooth sometimes through my pc....

  • babygurl, Pics will be saved to phone memory only. no other way. Btw, how do you 'download' music ??

  • hi! i got a d900 phone and i love it!!! but i wish i could use mp3 as my message alert tone. i got a little problem... i just bought a micro sd, and everytime i take pics or download musics it automatically saves it to the phone memory then i have to transfer to the memory card one by one.... is there any easier way? thanks so much!

  • Hi there, does any body know which phone has the best battery life D900 or D900i our are they both the same?

  • real mobile phone i have sum new ida for sam b couse only sam can make it

  • e250 is a low cost version of the D900. it has a lower resolution screen and camera. the rest is very much similar as far as i remeber. oh and i think e250 does not include the document viewer and do include a radio... try to compare specifications between the two using the compare option on the left...

  • hello is it the battery of this phone is much powerful than the samsung e250? or wich is more nice the d900 or the e250? plsssss someone answer me! plsss......

  • Raj, congratulations for the Jabra. it is a great device and working with no issues at all on all devices i have used up untill the D900. with the D900 it is working fairly well also but not perfect (as with PC and D600). for instance i can not make the music resume when i was interrupted by a call using only the headset keys (i have to take the phone out of the pocket and confirm the "play" question) :-( when a call comes in i do exactly what you stated - tap only the left center key. when the call ends (no matter which side ends it) i have to use the phone in order to keep playing. this is a major disadvantage! the Jabra manual state that the music should resume without doing anything, after ending the call and DEPENDING ON THE DEVICE SUPPORTING THIS FEATURE! it seems like the D900 have a mising feature here. the strange thing is that the D600 had the feature working great :-(

  • TALS(Dirk also); My BT620s came two days ago, so now I also join the jabra-D900 club ! I've just beginned; the first impressions are very good. Tals, of course all the call controls are on the left side and all the music controls are on the right side. When a call comes in, I tap on the left button and to end the call tap again on the same button. THEN THE PHONE ASKS WHETHER TO PLAY MUSIC AGAIN. When I press 'yes' , THE MUSIC CONTINUES. If you press the right button when a call comes, that stops/pauses the player; so the problem may be due to that. However you know the device better than me.....

  • Tals, I haven't used it for a while so don't quite remember but I think you either tap the left or right center button on the headset to hangup. I am missing one foam earpiece thus haven't used it for a while. I am hoping Jabra can replace the foam insert because they are not available locally. Let me know how you get on .......

  • Hi Dirk, good to see you are still out there... i also do not have problmes with media player, i think the Jabra are great - i think the problem is with the phone. it was all working fine for me also with the D600... anyway what do you mean by "Usually when a call comes in the music resumes after I hang up"? does Usually mean it is not always working? how do you hang up? left center botton? if the call is hanged up by the other side does the music resume? 10x.

  • Tals I haven't had that problem. Usually when a call comes in the music resumes after I hang up. Also on the right earpiece you can forward to the next song in list. I also use them with my home PC and they work great with Windows Media Player.

  • DANNY. Do you want the bad news - or the bad news ?

  • Hello everybody.. i just have this nice phone for 2 days. can you tell me how to use mp3 file for message tone? thank you

  • Yo Dirk, are you still reading this forum? i have a question about BT stereo headphones: when i hear music (i use Jabra BT620s like you use to) and a call enters i have a problem sending a play command from the headphones to the phone (after the call has ended). this use to work with my old D600 but now i do not manage to do it with my D900. can anyone help me with this issue? 10x, tals.

  • I think the voice (sound) quality is excellent - specially the hands free. And I'm half deaf !

  • I like to know if its voice high or low

  • why complain, sould you not research specks before buying,, i lov this fone, slim and stylish a main purpose to this fone!!! 3mp camera is awesome!!

  • its sick allot of memory i have and very good 5 out of 5

  • Rajesh very very good job, your internet site with TIPS & TRICKS...all users of D900 have to look this advices to much more love D900!!! I've known this things but very good for other D900-user. I had D900 for 14 months and loved it that much i bought another one for next 1 year. To increase Battery life-advice: 1.) settings-light settings-keypad light-night time. 2.) " - " - backtime light- On 15 sec, Dim 15 sec or nothing. 3.) settings - network services - choose only 900/1800! 4.) settings - display settings - brightness - set 1 or 2!!! My battery life is aprox. 2-4 days, no problem.

  • well, finally got d900 to work in jamaica, for some reason kept dropping off network and required flash. now that it works, love it. pretty solid phone, light, and camera is beautiful in comparison to anything else i have used. good mid tier phone.

  • why cant i use a music tone for my message tone *sigh* ...that sucks

  • Did you enjoy getting f**cked? Actually I and most others here have no problem. What do you do talk all day on it?

  • has it got radio

  • This phone SUCKS! Money truly wasted... The battery doesn't even last 24 hours stand-by time. I purchased it online and then sent back after 3 days assuming I got a bad phone. They mailed me another one shortly. This one came with 3 (!!!) extra batteries. Guess what? SAME THING! The battery starts dying as soon as you unplug the sucker. I'm VERY dissapointed in Samsung: I was WAITING for this phone to come out.. silly me! Should've gotten a Nokia - might not look as slim, but it's well-made and always reliable.

  • i got this phone as a gift, but no usb data cable...how many pins does this one have?

  • D900 tips/tricks/downloads.....

  • Jamaican Yute , a bluetooth dongle is a usb device. Just run the cd with it(driver), plug the dongle to your pc and it will become bluetooth enabled. Then you can copy files between phone and pc via bluetooth. Better get a dongle with bluetooth version 2.0 as D900 is ver 2.0 (ver 1.2 also will work) No themes. Go to settings/display settings/wallpaper and try 'menu background' with different levels of 'transparency'.

  • Thanks but I know wap.getjar.com.Can u tell me others plzzzzzzz.Thak u.

  • i see this question asked many times...but can themes be added to the d900?

  • jozi kid. fm radio on d900i

  • JOZI KID. No radio on the D900

  • Does it have m radio?

  • thanks dude for answering...got it to work another thing...can someone explain the bluetooth dongle? ...is it compatible with the d900? .... might be a dumb quetion lol

  • Hi there, does any body know which phone has the best battery life D900 or D900i our are they both the same? Thanks in advance

  • Jamaican Yute , the default password is 00000000(eight zeroes). To change it, go to settings>security>change password SABIN, Go to menu/browser/enter url and enter wap.getjar.com

  • This Phone is very good.Can anyone give me a good site to download a good game(specially 3D games) 4 this phone using the phone browser?Plz,.........

  • ok found it...BUT each time i put in a password it doesnt work.... saying invalid password...

  • how do you do that?

  • Jamaican Yute, You can lock the entire MESSAGES MENU together usin password.

  • is there a way to lock your text message inbox? .... like put a password on it so ppl cant pri into my business?

  • LU. See my posting below to Jimmy.

  • To LU: It is depend of microSD card. No limit. This is samsung :)) No limit fun!!!

  • ?????_____How much is the maximum length of video recording duration on this fon_____????? reply please

  • I have a Samsung D900 and D900i, can anyone give any advice regarding taking pictures and video at concerts, any pics or video I take always end up blurry and any lights from the stage ruin the pic and go extremely bright, so cant make out anything. Any advice grately appreciated as this has ruined sum concerts I would have liked to have remembered and kept as a keepsake. Thanks everyone

  • JIMMY. First of all check that your recording mode is "normal". To do this go Menu - 8 - 2 - then OPTION 6 and adjust. Should give you extra video time.

  • help plzzzz...Seems it captures video only for 4 min. due to lack of ability to change the capture space from memory to SD slot...any idea to solve the problem???

  • Just Got the phone last week and im loving it.i had a sharp 703shf but just got bored with the whole flip phone thing.i was suprised of how long the battery last.my last samsung was like 5 min listening to musix and the thing dies on me already.Some Things like the sliding mech could have been better.and the battery life i little bit more longer.but other then that im happy.lets just hope i dont get that cracked screen everyone has been getting >_

  • tnx!!! indeed good as new

  • Aur�lien, put it in the oven for 30 minutes and it will be as good as new :-)

  • ey My d900 was unfortunately washed in the washing machine, now when i put my battery in it wont stop vibrating and only the upper lights are on. Could this be repared? very much appreciated if response! thank you

  • Nice and small but very 'plastic' keys have split already and phone is only 6 months old!

  • Al, i agree the W910 is a great option for D900 upgrade (actually it is my second choice after the w890). it is very surprising that Samsung do not keep the trend of supplying sexy slim phones. they started creating big tanks like Nokia:-) We will all have to switch over to SE pretty soon... take a look at this amazing preview:

  • Why not try the W910i, it has a 2.4' screen bigger than samsung TFT. but it is a very d3edicated walkman phone. but camera is only 2.0mega pix.

  • I had U600 and G600. U600 is more for women and sensor keys are not good, difficult to use. G600 I find very good and not big...in the hand smaller then D900 but not so thin. It looks and feels like metall phone...there are some of metall, it weight is more then 105 gr. W890 is good but I think not available yet. Camera is 100% good by SE...this is really not problem. I afraid of autorotate sensor like key sensor...it could be problem. My opinion is stay by samsung weil you will find out no slider, not so fashion like Samsung etc. G600 could be good choice for Samsung user :) G600 has horisontally photos with fast zoom! (D900 not), G600 has ringing profiles like SE, G600 has user created themes...something like SE. Battery life is like D900. G600 has light sensor (only G600 of samsung phones...not G800). Video is VGA. Attention: charger and usb and jacks are new and not compatible with D900 or another models U series...it does mean you can not use old car charger or TV out cable for videos on TV. I like also SE but last couple years I use Samsung and if I buy something else I always change it for samsung :)) I don't know...once samsung always samsung! You must decide. Bye

  • T, lest day i want to upgrade my D900 that is over a year old now - what Samsung have to offer? G600 and G800 are way too big. U600 measures well but looks very bad. very cheep plastic looks :-( bad battery life and touch keys :-( SE W890 supply much smaller phone (wich is great for me) even comparing to the D900. alsmost same screen size. stainless steel body to replace the D900 very plasticy body. better music player for sure (Walkman 3). totally cool features like the auto sensore for rotating the screen :-) only disadvantage is actualy the camera that is also 3MP but lack some features like autofocus (that has big latency) and flash wich is a crappy LED in the D900. what do you say?

  • To S.: All models are available...G600 I had for 2 weeks and bought again D900. D900i I bought befor G600 but it doesn't have picsel viewer and rear side is of plastic, not like D900 or D600. W890 I find very nice. TFT isn't big like by Samsung new models and I'm not satisfied with SE louspeaker by hearing sopmebody...to quite. I think W890 best choose of SE...thin, fashion. I prefer Samsung slide phones...befor Samsung clamshell phones like sgh-2400, A100, T400, E700...

  • PRIZM. To come out of dictionary, in "new message" mode press and hold star key. Re keypad tones - the oldest question going - tap in to box at foot of this page and search.

  • can some one tell me. how can i disable to the dictionary in D900. and keypad sound.????

  • T; how do you rate upcoming models. we have pretty similar taste... i also picked D900 as #1 this is what i own one :-) but what about a D900 upgrade? what do you think about the upcoming W890? i do not see good alternatves in the ultra compact category except for SE...

  • My choice - top 10 (I used all of them like private-multymedia user and also bussines-user). Last 10 years I prefer Samsung (simply: thiny fashion models+userfriendly interface+loud loudspeaker), then SE and Nokia+Motorola at 3rd place: 1. Samsung D900 2. Samsung G600 3. Samsung Z400 4. Samsung D600 5. Samsung D520...old model (another models like U600, U700, E900, with sensor keys are very anoying thing) 6. Sonyericsson K800 7. SonyEricsson W880 8. Nokia N95 9. Motorola Krzr K3 10.Nokia 6300

  • Check it out nsc:

  • Best phone ever! Very nice thiny design, elegant. You can put your video like caller ID that is very nice if somebody rings you. Viewid messages are so nice thing to read messages..must try. Loudspeaker is more than enough loud by ringing and also by hearing somebody. If not read this forum and you will find codes for samsung to encrease volume. TFT 2,15 inch is (trust me) maybe the best of all samsung (I tried G600, U600, D600). Camera 3,15MPIX is fareway better than by G600. G600 makes 5MPIX and photos are only aprox. 300-400kb...what is this 5Mpix? Those photosizes made my D500 with 1,3Mpix. Realy guys, D900 makes even in the half dark room photos without dots. Photos in the sun or day are very useble like photocamera. Hardware of D900 I find very hard(ware) and very hard to destroy. Slide mechanism is great, slide is half automatic. Must say about design...all people who knows me ask about this phone...realy special mobile. Shiny black plastic looks very elegant and worthy. Very important is back side of phone...this is some kind of gummy like by D600 and realy good...you couldn't scratch them in 10years. Video capturing is top top...352x288=QCIF and you can see like TV Programm horisontaly (press No. 1). Battery life=3-4 days...you only has to set brightness of Display to 1 or 2 maximum and you has to set keyboard light on only in the day...this is advice to have very good battery life with this handset. What to write about pros...MP3 player loud and nice, a lot of shortcuts. Must say Samsung makes very useable phones and very userfriendly menus...easy to work with, very nice by driving a car...easy to write messages, make phone call. Display the best nowadays. E-mail client, you can download Oprea mini browsser and you has internet like at home. Nice games, Phonebook 1000 contacts, easy to share with your PC. That is only 50% about this phone and now I must go to work. Enjoy your SGH-D900 it is really very very good and beautifull phone 103x50x only 12,5mm...best hardware I had and saw ever! Bye

  • hi dears its 1 yer that i have a d900. its a very good and lovable phone!!! but i have a question about that: icant see the emoticons ( as messenger emoticons) on it. may i have to download a special program from internet for it or activate an option in the my phone? thanks for your helps

  • So there's no such thing like loud Samsung after all. Pitty.

  • THIS IS THE QUIETEST FONE EVER!! ive had a range of other fones over the last 5 years and i have to say the mp3 player and loudspeaker are rediculously quiet... trust me this is a completely honest review.. i own the fone and have done for the past year..i have also had like 20 other fones (noki, sony ericsson, samsung etc...) and by far this is the quietest.. honestly... i can play an mp3 full blast and hear my own fart...

  • Thnxs Rajesh for ya help really appreciate dat....... :) thnxs a lot

  • Hi, will i be able to use Sumsung D900 to make conference call.

  • Ψ şį&, from Rajesh Tips and tricks guide: How to turn off keypad tones? To turn off the keypad tone, slide tone and power on/off tone TOGETHER, press down volume-keys on the left side of the phone till zero, from the MAIN SCREEN. This is the quickest, and is the right method, if you want to keep �Theme� as the dialing display font. Also you can turn off (or change) keypad tones (menu 9-4-2) power on/off tone (menu 9-4-4) and slide tone (menu 9-4-5) independently. Thereafter, pressing volume key will not affect the corresponding tone. If the keypad tone menu in your phone is INACTIVE, go to display settings�dialing display�font type and change �theme� to �normal�. Then go back to keypad tone menu to turn off/change tone.

  • can somebody tell me how to silent da keypad of SAMSUNG d900... it's annoyin' nd i can't find the option..... so if anyone of ya mates out dere knew how to silent the keypad not the phne den plz lemme knw.... if ya mail me how to do dis i will b very thnkful to aya :).....

  • Mevash, it sounds like you have the issue i have with my new D900! in order to confirm this please take a look at the picture of my cell phone: if you zoom into the link (using the magnifier icon), you can see my phone only has very thin (hair wide) balck lines gathered in two vertical strips in the center of th screen. is your phone usable? does you screen look similar? if so, i will let you know what i found out about this issue so far.

  • Hi, i recently purchased my SamsungD900 and was very impressed with it. However, my neice mistakely dropped my cell causing the LCD to crack resulting in the ink being distorted. I have shopped around trying to get a resonable rate to repair the damage which costs approximately R800 which i personally feel is ridiculous. Do i have any other options?

  • A serious D900/i owner wanted! According to GSM Arena, D900/D900i is one of the loudest phones around On the other side, I spotted some owners were complaining about how their D900/i's are a bit quiet. Since I think this handset is one of the best all-rounders, who's right, who's wrong (GSM Arena or the owners)? Also, how's the earpiece sound? Thanks

  • JIMMY. I think the call quality is excellent on the D900. Even the hands free is of good volume. Almost no need for a car kit! You can stop all incoming calls if you want to - or stop incoming calls when you use the phone outside of your home service area. You need to Activate with a password supplied by your service provider. (User guide p.98)

  • Thanks 4 ur comments people...i'm not really impressed by S.E.,the only thing i need is good call quality and loud voice and still don't know does d900 have the ability to block certain calls or not?...many people complain about camera quality of d900 and i wonder instead of that i can have w950 with more operational fuctions if d900 has missed them i don't care about symbian on w950 either...but when it comes to d900 vs. w910 i'll go 4 d900.I want to know the screen of w950 is as good as d900?and also difference of walkman 3.0 and that on w950.

  • Tom; it seems like you are taking things personally :-) talking about D900 competitors is very legitimate in a D900 forum. this anonymous dude was asking for help and he got it. you are not managing this forum AFAIK. be patient for others and try to also be bit happy :-)

  • W910 is ugly and D900 is beautifull mobile phone! This is difference. Please write about SE on SE forum not on Samsung forums.

  • to the anonymous below (asking about w950): it is a bit funny comparing w950 to D900. W950 is a bar designed smartphone when the D900 is a non-OS multimedia slider phone. w9540 is a lot heavier and less compact comparing to the D900. anyway if camera is not important for you and you like SE, i would recomend you to take a look at the w910. this is a slider multimedia phone just like the D900 (not a smart phone like the w950 and the future to come w960). the first impression i got from the w910 is very good and i doubt it if you can find a better multimedia phone (again unless camera is important). the w910 have a huge amazing screen, walkman 3.0 software, robust design, does not take fingerprints and is more compact even comaring to the D900. do not be scared by the shocking red housing of the phone it also comes in solid black:-)

  • Someone told me don't buy this phone 4 camera?I have a better idea ,i can go 4 w950 if not for camera...Can someone compare it with w950 and tell me if this can filter and reject unwanted calls like the way w950 can do??!

  • I must say that the samsung d900 is an amazing phone, it has all the features that i need, good camera, good music player and lots of memory! I would like it if it had a radio and the only problem with it for me is that the screens break too easily! My screen broke and it costs too much to repair at a price of R1500!

  • I have the D900 and it's a great phone. Very slim and sleek. The resolution in the screen is way better than the older models. It's got a cool theme in it too, so when you go to dial numbers, the numerics don't just pop up like the boring old phones (you'll see what I mean when you buy it). Sound quality is good with an equalizer setting. Good shortcuts to access it as well as the camera. The camera kinda sux though cuz it takes FOREVER for the thing to take a picture and the slightest movement will make it blurry, so don't buy it for the camera feature. Another bad thing is that you can't directly put things into the memory card. You have to put it on the phone first then move it to the card. Kind of a hassle. The programs that come with it are good though. Lets you edit songs and cut out and select what you want in case you want to make it your ringtone. Lots of bugs in the other programs that you use though.

  • My phone can't download mms's, it retrieves them and them and then loads a blank picture..please help! And the blue tooth also fails to get activated? What's wrong with this phone?

  • Beleive me, My mom has the D500 and ma dad has the D900, bith are very easy to use, but in all ways the D900 is wayyyy betta...more funtions and etc.

  • hi,at the moment im using a d500 but im upgrading next week.i find the d500 very easy to use,so can antbody tell me if the d900 is very simular.thankyou.

  • yah i am planning on buying the d900 but have a quick question, for the mp3 on the d900 can you make a play list on the go like ipods, where you can make a custom track list and have a custom playback?!?! any answer would be helpful

  • I hope samsung is cooking up a d900 successor.

  • To get rid of the horrible menu strip on the phone thanks to orange you will have to get it debranded. The kit can be bought on line or bring it to a phone shop but not all of them will do this. I had to do this with mine. Bought the kit on line and all is sorted now.

  • Its a fantastic phone which has got all the features but there is some problem with java application,, How to install opera mini browser on the phone i downloaded .jar and even .jad file but the phone says that it is an unsupported file format plz somebody give me the info hoe to install java applications

  • @ Barle probally its just a software problem. It can be helped out the world easily. I dont know if the software udates are on the site of samsung, but you can try it there. Otherwise go to the shop where you bought the phone and they should fix the problem. (Or imidiatly or by sending it for reparation, thats how we do it here in my shop)

  • I have a problem with my D900,it fails to search bluetooth devices and aven it fails to activate bluetooth. What can i do

  • Hi Rajesh,can u tell me if u had landscape mode with Opera Mini 4 beta 2 and if it was included with beta 3 on your D900? Thanks bro.

  • Raj, please do not bother yourself with my issue anymore! this issue was just solved on another forum. FYI and for others how read this forum here is the solution for MP3 that can not be played and present "not supported content": some mp3 songs have tags on them, for instance a picture of the artist. these tags are (at least partially) not supported by the phone and can cause this error message! all you got to do before creating a new playlist is load the songs to an app that removes the tags and you will have no issues. here is a link to an application that solved the issue for the specific song creating my problem: note this is important not only so you can hear all songs on the phone, but so you will not have songs that stuck your playlist and require irritating user interference.

  • Tals, good move if you have sent the song to my mail. Now i can check it myself. However my laptop will arrive by this weekend only, so pls wait. These posts are made from opera mini in my phone : see the ip address code M@T2 below my name

  • Tals, good move if you have sent the song to my mail. Now i can check it myself. However my laptop will arrive by this weekend only, so pls wait. These posts are made from opera mini in my phone : see the ip address code M@T2 below my name

  • the reason your fones battery life isnt that long is probably it hasnt been charged for long enoguh, even though it says 3 bars or battery life you should charge it for longer. i charge my d900 over night and it lasts about 5 days. XD. i love this phone but it scratches easily.

  • Hi Raj, happy to see you back in the forum :-) hope your Laptop issue is solved now... anyway, i tried everything you wrote and the issue is not solved. the issue does not seem to be related to the song's name in any way. this issue is very bothering as when i have this kind of song in a play list it stuck my playlist. i just want to know how to detect and avoid such songs in the future. i tried sending you this kind of song via mail in order to see if this is a local problem with my phone/firmware or a global issue. 10x for the help.

  • Tals, Try this also: RENAME the track....... With a SHORT and simple name. Save, switch off the phone, restart and try playing the track again. Please let me know the result

  • i compare the camera d900 and n73 during night time...and N73 won that match....its much clearer than the samsung one but all in all its a good phone its thiner than n73....sounds is better than n73 than this phone but still good

  • Can someone tell me if Opera Mini 4 beta 2 worked in landscape mode with this phone? Also I want to find out if landscape mode is available for Opera Mini 4 beta 3 with Sam D900? Thanks for your reply

  • Yvon, the phone does not support themes :-(

  • I've had this phone for almost a year now, and was just wondering where I could download free themes for it? Does anyone know? Any help is appreciated!!

  • does anyone know why i am not able to play a specific mp3 song? when i try to play it the phone displays: "not supported content" when i play the song on the PC it is working fine and when i look in the properties it does not seem to be any different than my other mp3 songs: 128K bit rate, 4.61MB, type is mp3 format sound.

  • KONNAN. Did you format first ? You can tap in Sandisk at foot of this page and search for info. However, the only memory card guaranteed to work is the 512mb SanDisk Transflash Micro SD card. You can get one on eBay.

  • Hello!! the phone is verygood. but this week a bought a memory card 1G and it dont works how can i fix this problem. sometimes the card work and sometimes not how can i fix this pls help

  • Ok so I've had this phone for a lil while, been working beautifully, but this morning went to send a txt and some of the buttons aren't working....?? The menu button, some of the directional buttons, numbers 4,6,7,8,9.... it's really frustrating and I don't know whats happened because it was working fine last night when I last used it, hasn't been touched since. Any help would be hugely appreciated!

  • Thanx!! This phone rocks 110km/h.!!!!!!!!!! And i found out that YOU CAN listen to mp3 player in background. And something else is here you can use a etui-cover for phone, and there wont be any marks on it. I only miss thems of my own. Ihave a SE K800i, but i like this one more Once again thanx.

  • DEAN. Yes my comments were for you. I have had mine about a year and no problems at all. I am still finding new features. It's great. Buy it.

  • Dean, if you are willing to take some risks - buy it and you will have the most amazing phone. the risks i am talking about are related to repeated screen issues that happens to only a small part of the phones but damage them very badly. other issues are cracks and noises from the sliding mechanism, buttons that are loosing thier cover and color act. if you happen to be one of the lucky ones who do not have any issue - most chances are that you will be very happy as this is a really cool phone. if you are looking for a reliable and robust phone - this phone is not for you!

  • Maxima were your words manted for me? I was hoping for some indications for and not for buying. Cheers

  • My blue tooth isn't working.. It just says blue tooth switching on forever..what hell? How do i fix this? Can a format my blue tooth settings?

  • Well i rad many opinions and i am confused. Should i buy it or not??? Please be quick IT arives tomorow. THX A LOT

  • MANDEEP, can you please elaborate? whay do you mean by: "my fones screen was like cracked" and "i can only see after of the screen" did anyone else have or heard about this issue? what may cause this? how can this be fixed?

  • ye i have the same problem one day my fones screen was like cracked i can only see after of the screen

  • I am not not sure i have the sceen cracking issue anymore. i found a picture on one of the forums describing a typical screen cracking issue. Cracked D900 screen (taken from the WEB): My D900 Screen: if you zoom into the second link (using the magnifier icon), you can see my phone only has very thin (hair wide) balck lines gathered in two vertical strips in the center of th screen. it looks like an RF interference or electronic noise of some kind. my phone screen is totally usable and i do not have a section that is not working. additioally i do not have the crack circular center that you can see in the first link (at the bottom of the screen). WTF happend to my phone?

  • Baterry is 900mAh, a little bit better than new G600-880mAh. Elegant black design for men. Bussines phone with EDGE, verx fast on browsing..I have downloaded Opera Mini from java www.GetJar.com very good web browser. Sound loud and clear, loudspeaker very good. Nowadays the best Samsung cellular phone. G600 is not so elegant, not so thin and fine, compact, hard... G600 is small and fater and D900 is biger but thiner...Best Phone!

  • I have no problems with my D900. I had first one for about 1,5 Years and now I bought D900i and on the same day ghanged for D900 because D900i doesn't have document viewer, sad :( I have no problems with screen and software didn't ones frozen...very good hardware and software (first was for Asian market and second for east Europa--both very good). I thing this is the best hardware I ever had. rear side is from gummy and you cannot scretch this -battery life 3 days (4/5) -document viewer doc, xls, ppt, pdf...5/5 -dimensions 103x50x13mm Super 5/5 -LCD 240x320 (the best one) -camera 3,15Mpix 4/5 -video 352x288 super!!! also for TV watching 9/10

  • Andy, was your screen externally physically cracked? if so, we did not have the same issue. my screen seem undamaged and when the screen back light is off the phone looks normal. when i press a certain key (or slide up the phone) and the screen turns on, i see very slim black vertical lines (using white skin). if i use the black skin i see the menus less clear and the whole screen looks dark. i am not even sure i have the cracking issue. people with cracking issue said their phone because totally unusable very fast and they also saw liquid coming out of the screen. some forums suggest that my ribbon cable(connecting the two phone parts) is damaged or disconnected. i do not even know what happend to my phone! did you have the same symptoms or something that look like an external pysical crack?

  • Tals: OMG, same thing happened to my phone, the screen just randomly cracked on its own, One morning the alarm went off and I left my phone sitting on my bed while I went to wash my hair and when I came back I slid it open and looked at a cracked screen and it was really weird because 5minutes before it was fine and there was nobody in the house to break it and there was nothing on my bed to damage it. So.. I emailed Samsung and sent them I picture of the cracked screen I took with my digital camera and they said it wasn't a factory fault. So I went to one of the Carphone Warehouse shops in City Center and they offered to fix my screen for �40 so I paid �40 to get it fixed;; RIP OFF. Can't wait to upgrade to my Sony Ericsson K850i next month because my D900 contract runs out this/next month. Samsung D900 - Bad Phone, Camera Is Also Bad, Annoying Having to save images, songs, videos etc to memory card manually rather than automatically, no radio, camera flash = crap. I could go on but I would rather not. I'm never getting another Samsung mobile phone again.

  • been using this phone for 1 year now had no problems of screen cracking i love its design and functionality but it slows down when browsing the memory card and it gets really hot while playing music and transferring via blue tooth and the sliding mechanisim doesn't feel solid overall the phone is one of the best i ever had

  • THANKS Rajesh ! very usefull :)

  • screen cracking: i have some bad news to all of you. my phone seems to have the famous screen cracking issue :-( i bought my phone only 6 weeks ago in Hungary and the firmware if an 2007 release - so i guess the screen cracking issue is not over and not present only on some early phone batches. i was very gentle with my phone. it didn't fall and was not even charged before cracking. i did put it in my jeanse from pocket though. i think this is the most natural thing to do with a phone... my screen cracked from the inside and there is not external indication for a crack. anyway it is still functional but the amazing screen quality now look as the worst screen ever. i did a big mistake buying this phone especially because of the fact i know about the cracking issue and thought it is over. for potential customers - i do not recomend buying this seemingly amazing phone of course. for owners - be very gentle with your phone. i hope for your sake, phones who crack have manufacturing defects and that this issue is not present on all phones - otherwise it is just a matter of time before your phone crachs :-(

  • TALS. Can't help any more . Tap in "inner screen" below. Maybe this is the problem.

  • Maxima, isn't a "cracked screen" involves a crack in the screen? my screen seems undamaged. i also read about cracked screens and understood that this make the phone totaly unusable - this is not my case. my screen simply look very dark and with strange and very bothering black lines :-( i read that this may be due to the ribbon cable beeting released - can this be the case? how can i open the phone - i.e. seperate the two parts that are silding on each other? is this possible? Thanks, Tals.

  • TALS. I think your problems are due to one thing only - a cracked screen. Default setting will not sort it. Sorry. Tap in "cracked screen" at foot of this page and search. You will see that it is a common problem.

  • Help! i tried loading all kind of gifs to my phone to use as wallpapers and suddenly my screen freaked out. it looks all dark and with lines crossing from top to button that look like scratches. i can not revert the screen condition anyway. i tried changing the wallpaper back, changing skins theme act. the screen looks bad no matter what the phone status is: in idle, in menues, during video playback act. is there anyway to revert the phone to default configuration? is this a known issue? please help!!!

  • overall its very nice phone...i m really happy tht i got this phone(after reading tons of reviews)however i would give it 4 stars out of 5 despite its a great phone its faulty ..it sometimes mixes the last calls list ...ex if u have X and Y in last calls list if u pushed the button to call X it will call the Y contact (it would show that its calling X contact)however thats rarely happens but its still puts me in silly situations but i still loveit.....my next phone is forsure samsung

  • This is one of the best phones i've ever used. Its camera and display are crystal clear. The only downside is the short battery life. It also heats up quite a bit when used for a while eg when playing music. Otherwise its a really nice buy.

  • D900 has document (word, excel, pdf, ppt) viewer and D900i doesn't have!!! Be careful, D900 is still long top model of Samsung!!! G600 not so thin and 5Mpix worse than 3,2Mpix D900...really true

  • The best telephone ever made. Elegant, thin, black...for men. Nice dimension, good software, camera 3,2Mpix very good, MP player, video 352x258 very very good. Battery life 3-4 days of medium or high using. Buy D900 and you will satisfied next 2 years. I have one already more than 1 Year. Just bought new one same for next 2 years!!!

  • Hi guys, I need help, i have a D900 but the first ring is ALWAYS lower than the others, even at the highest volume and i can't seem to be able to change that. Do i have to update my version or something? or am i missing something? i tried for hours and tried everything, nothing worked. can anyone help?

  • pls help. I cannor record a phone conversation.how do i do it?

  • It is a nice phone, but has flaws. I like the vivid message, dialling theme, quality of picture in daylight and wallpaper theme, slim design, ability to put password on your files. The problem is it is slow in reading pictures stored in its micro sd. Samsung does not include the option to save the pictures taken on to the card directly. You have to manually transfer it to the cards. You have to edit the camera options like the flash everytime and the night photos are terrible. I have seen the photos taken from SEK800i, and they are beautiful, taken night time or daytime. I used to have a motorola v3i and it is better in dealing with micro SD, when micro sd is inserted, it is the priority option to store any downloaded files, whether it is an image, music files or video files. D900 does not do that, everything has to be manually transferred. You cannot use mp3 files as a message tone. Use the boring preset ones. You have to use "Save and Send" option just to have the messages saved on your sent box. Which for me, is such a hassle. It should be stored in Sent items, cause you sent it, whether you saved it or not.

  • i hav 1 of these, it only auto focuses wen it wants to n those preset tones n pics u cant delete. the camera not bad, it doesnt hav a shutter tho so if u make a sharp move as ur takin a pic it blurrs

  • how does the D900 & D900i siblings battery compare? is the picsel viwer in the D900 realy worth it in the D900 4ne, i mean can u be able to read docs clearly from the 4ne screen???

  • Just bought a d900 on ebay when i got it the box and phone read D908i. Have i been ripped off.

  • One Can not change the message alert tones save for those that are preset on the phone and neither can one delete them. The tones themselves are less that desirable, One is forced to live with them...

  • the original password for the D900 is 000000 or 00000000. cheers

  • the worst phone ever. In UAE it has the poorest signal coverdge. You cant slide the pictures in your mem card and have to see them as rhumbnails and open them one by one. Samsung- never again.

  • Don't know how. Here is the default one 00000000

  • everything else is fine esp its 3.2mp camera. One draw back is you can't attach a hanger to it.

  • How do I change the password without knowing the old one ?

  • you can't install themes on this fone, thats why its not working, the sis files u are installing (or attempting to) are files for the Symbian Smartphones, and is most likely a nokia theme file,

  • i m trying to install themes but can not get it installed, its a .sis file m copying it to OTHER directory of my cell fone's memory and after that i cant access it.

  • press # key for 5 sec than ur mobile turn into silent mode

  • Hi Tracey; you can find your answer in the D900i forum as well. anyway here is the answer taken from Rajesh TIPS&TRICKS guide: How to turn off keypad tones? To turn off the keypad tone, slide tone and power on/off tone TOGETHER, press down volume-keys on the left side of the phone till zero, from the MAIN SCREEN. This is the quickest, and is the right method, if you want to keep �Theme� as the dialing display font. Also you can turn off (or change) keypad tones (menu 9-4-2) power on/off tone (menu 9-4-4) and slide tone (menu 9-4-5) independently. Thereafter, pressing volume key will not affect the corresponding tone. If the keypad tone menu in your phone is INACTIVE, go to display settings�dialing display�font type and change �theme� to �normal�. Then go back to keypad tone menu to turn off/change tone.

  • it has such bad memory

  • i have the D900i and cannot turn the keypad tones off.

  • Ok after changing from my ex D900 to U700 i do have some comments for you all. Basically this U700 is smarter than D900, but some major function wise, they are both good. First of all U700 only have 41714k of internal memory. Which is smaller than D900. But thats not really a problem if you have a memory card, pictures and videos taken can be directly send into the card. In fact, the Video camera's resolution (Only 176x144) for U700 as compared to D900, its a loss. U700 doesnt have the "U menu" function. Wheres replaced by "application menu" function, which u can access to 4 menus- internet,voice call,message and End all application."application menu" can be accessed anywhere when you are using the phone, even while u are viewing you calender for example. However U700's camera is amazingly good. For them who are not sure,U700 still have its"White balance" and "exposure metering(spot & metrix) " functions. It capture high resolution images like 2048x1536 (with auto focus on) within a sec. And Camera flash light can be set as "Auto" by default, whereby D900 has to be switched manually everything u use it. Camera has improve quite alot for U700. However the phone's defaults to take image horizontally(which means u have to turn ur phone horizontally to take straight pictures)- This cannot be changed. However its what u see and what u get for ur picture taken. Another interesting function for the camera is the "camera button" on the side of the phone. By pressing it slightly, you are actually auto focusing your picture, hold it and it's auto focus will stay there. Press harder and you are capturing. Cool huh? Images and Videos taken, can be send into your memory card straight away. However U700 doesnt have the TV out-port function that D900 has. For those of you who are afraid of your mobile phone's buttons get flatted or worn out, U700 could really be your best choice. Yes, the touch screen is sensitive, if its not, how do you press? lol. I believe what some of you mean is that the touch screen buttons are very close together, therefore always press the wrong key u desire. But without using much strength, you can play ur keys effortlessly with its touch screen and extra smooth "ipod like" turning navigation. It also has a very nice and bright classy white keypad light. On the main dialing page, when you press a few numbers, the phone will automatically display names from the phonebook that has the same few number. Which means you dont need to access the phonebook and search for names now, if you know 2-4 numbers of the recepient. You can custom create MMS with your desire background colours, ect. Customising and Creativity is quite alot in U700 i would say. Java games are now stored inside the gallery section with images and sound. Interesting? One cute thing about U700 is that it includes Chinese calender(not sure about other countries). Anyway im staying in singapore. Phone feels very smooth and metallic. Solid too. Its like holding a metal bar. If you have greasy hands, i believe everyone does, the phone will get very greasy :\ I will update soon again when i have the time :)

  • Read the manual

  • Help ! How do I get onto Silent Mode, with incoming calls vibrating only ??

  • OK. Thanks.

  • capricorn; when you connect the phone to a TV the TV simply replaces the phones screen. this is working well no matter what you decide to do with the phone: - play video. - capture video. - play games. - view images. act. there are some minor limitations (taken from the D900 user guide): You cannot use a Bluetooth stereo headset or the zooming feature in TV Out mode.

  • I just want to know the tv out function. Does this mean that when you play games or open a java application, or view/create videos or view images, or when you read your messages everything can be viewed in TV? Or just a certain function can be viewed. Thanks.

  • ANN, No way than to unlock/flash the firmware. Better ignore it. (TALS, ann is talking about that annoying toolbar of orange network)

  • Hi, im not able to access any options (manage files,manage messages ,etc) on Samsung PC Studio.. I have re-installed the drivers,to no avail...Samsung PC Studio is on my desktop.

  • GasMcCloud; the answer to your question is yes - D900 can both record and play videos of course (like any other camera phone). the only difference between the D900 video and other camera phones is the truly amazing quality (considering it is a phone of course)!

  • Can you record video and play video with the D900?

  • ann; the best way to learn about D900 tips and tricks is to ready Rajesh's TIPS&TRICKS guide (posted many times in this forum). if i undestand your current issue properly, than tip 19 from the guide explains it: 19. How to remove operator name/numbers from the main display: For this, the wallpaper should be in �normal� mode(display settings�wallpaper�normal). Go to display settings�text display �text position and select �off�.

  • tals. i just realised that after i put that coment in.do you know if you can hide the tool bar thats down the left hand side were it says calls,mess, and orange world.i tried advanced setting but it wnt let me in to it. still trying to get the hang of my d900. lol. thanx

  • ann; you can't download themes! a small tip for future questions: at the bottom of this page you have a search field. if you write a topic name there (theme for instance) you can easily search this forum for answers and get a full overview about the phone's theme support (or lack of support in this case).

  • GasMcCloud; i had the U600 vs. D900 dilemma up untill a couple of weeks ago when i upgraded my old D600. after much research i initially decided to go with the U600 as it was newer and had some additional features like FM radio, sunlight mode, newer mp3 player, new camera UI, bigger screen, slimest design, options to store pictures automatically to the memory card act. it also has some disadvantages comparing to the D900 of course: touch sensitive keys, shorter battery life, reflective screen act. anyway when i got to the stores i saw many U600 phones in different prices, its turned out most of them were used as people who buy this phone often bring it back due to the touch sensitive keys. when i held the phone is felt like a cheap plastic matirial and looked like a toy phone. i simply could not buy it especially after holding the D900 for reference. unleess you have to have one of U600 enhancement - i recommend the D900, but this is totally a matter of taste.

  • Hey Rajesh And Everyone. What do u think about U700 and U600? Do u think its ok if i would change my D900 to U700? Appreciate for your help. :)

  • hi everyone. i found themes for d900. visit www.zolved.com. they are free to download. check it out. i downloaded a couple cool themes for d900 but havent put them into my fone yet.dont know how to do it. but if someone visits this website and knows how to put them in please let me know. thanx.

  • I was a very happy owner of a D600 until my LCD blanked out. Phone still functions you just can't see the screen. Should I upgrade to a D900 0r a U600. But if anyone knows how to fix the phone, I rather go with that option. Thanks

  • Hi there! Is there anyway where u can change the theme background display to other countries display?

  • I just got this phone, it is an amazing phone compared to my old V3razr, it is so much better. The resolution of the screen is so clear I can't believe it. Everthing is perfect except the reception/signal is not that great. I have ATT service.

  • hi tals. thanks for your reply. cant wait to get my d900 now. from what you said it sounds like a great fone.now i can stop worrying.lol.my d900 should be here tomorrow.so am looking forward to getting it now.thanx again.

  • ann; i had the same concerns up untill a few weeks ago when i upgraded my old D600 to this phone. the best tip i can give you is what Rajesh told me right after i purchased: "Now that you were using another samsung(D600) you'll not possibly regret buying a D900." i totally agree with this statement! i found only two very small disadvantages for D900 comparing D600: 1. no way to install Java over bluetooth. 2. the sliding mechanism and total handset feel is less firm and solid. D900 has many advantages to overcome the minor downsides. it is the ultimate upgrade for the D600 (especially for someone who is happy with the D600). you will have a bigger screen, a smaller and compact handset, some options to view full screen pictures, an option to listen to wireless music from the memory card, a great offline (flight) mode, BT 2.0, a better camera, act... go for it!!!

  • hi all. am usin d600 and i love it. pics are great and videos are great on it. but now am gettin d900 cos it looks really nice. but i have read so many reviews bout things goin wrong with it.do you think i have made the right choice? can anyone give me any advice. thanx. x

  • i got a 2gig mem card in this works fine, phone is very very slow in copying files between it self, and also deleting

  • To the anonymous below; But what has n73 and n95 to do in D900 forum??? You made the post in the wrong forum.....

  • while installing games from getjar site using serial USB i found a great and handy JAVA application - JM2PC. this is BT remote control for the PC and is very handy with common scenarios - for instance: - if you use your laptop/desktop to watch moviews and do not have a wireless mouse, the phone can replace it. - if you throw power points presentations and never bought a PC bluetooth controller, the phone can replace it. there are many other JAVA apps with similar funtionality, i am telling about the one i installed and tested with the D900. do you have other applications to recommend? does anyone manage to get the serial key for the full activation of JM2PC?

  • edge; there are no "stereo" speakers like the D600 has, but there is 3D sound from a single speaker. i do not think the speaker sound is inferior comparing to the D600 as the stereo speakers had very small effect due to the small distance they had in between.

  • are there stereo speakers like on d600?

  • yes the phone is definately able to support 2gb but i am wondering if it can support the 4gb microsdhc

  • abyss; i am not sure about the heating levels you are talking about. if the phone slightly heats up - i think it is ok. MP3 is a heavy application (i am basing this on the battery/power consumption). if the phone gets heat so you can't hold it - i think you have a problem. i use my phone with MP3 and listen via bluetooth (which is a much greater effort for the phone). i can tell you the phone is slightly heated even after a couple of hours with this operation. hope this helps.

  • Bill; i would recommend you to read Rajesh's guide (links are posted in this forum) - it will save you some questions. from the guide: Any card beyond 512 MB, buy Sandisk only. A Sandisk 1GB will work without any problem(I�m also using one). And many users say that Sandisk 2GB also work without problems, but this I�m not sure. See this page also ; Before using card, format it using the format option in my files..memory card..options..memory card settings�format card

  • Any one knows if you can use a memory card of 1GB or 2GB ??? or 512 MB is the limit???

  • anybody knows if this phone supports a memory card bigger than 512 MB or is it capable of using a memory card of 1GB or 2 GB???

  • just bought mine a couple of days ago,and i have a problem,,everytime i play mp3 on my phone..the phone starts to heat up...is there a problem with my phone..pls.. someone answer me...

  • several problems regarding the phone you cant find themes for it,nore applications, and the image at the wall paper is a mess it cant fit weak in sound low:S but it is really hot and sexy

  • To the anonymous below: Click below:

  • Tals,quite normal. Functions are limited in mem card. For example, you get no thumbnail view of images in card, no 'next' option while browsing images, image in card can't be opened with picsel file viewer....

  • there is a "last entry" feature in the phone where each time i enter a menu the phone starts with the last entry i have been to in this menu (like the entry was cached/remembered). this does not seem to be working on the memory card menus! is this a bug or am i missing something here?

  • D900 is stylish cellphone but has bad or weak signal while ur in home service is affected. Thanks

  • TALS; Go to menu/settings/phone settings/slide settings and for 'DOWN' , select 'CONTINUE OPERATION'. This will correct the problem and also the programs will not stop if you close the slider.

  • Rajesh; the phone does not ask me any confirmation question (whether to lock or not lock). when i close the slide it locks without any question and same goes after 30 seconds if i manually unlocked it.

  • Tals, the keypad lock is fully automatic with the slider. You can't lock manually. But I think they have done it more logically. The keypad is locked immediately after you close the slider, with a confirmation question. And if you press 'No' to the question or if you manually unlock it, you'll be doing this to perform some function - right? And after that function when you come back to standby, it again asks you "Lock?" And it is NOT THE 30 SECONDS, but keypad is locked when the display goes off. If you set light settings/Dim as 30sec, then keypad is locked only after 45 seconds.

  • When the slide is closed and i unlock the phone, it is automatically locked after 30 seconds (exactly when the screen goes off). is there an option to shut down the automatic locking? i still want it to be locked when i close the slide and unlock when i open it... one more question regarding locking: after i unlock - how can i manually lock it?

  • Regarding the TEXT MESSAGE CREATOR interface ................................................­­ Here are the pictures send to me by Dr.Adedoyin to clarify all doubts. Interesting that there are so many different versions of the same phone. Thanks for forums! And yours is a very relevant question MAXIMA. The only way to go back to the previous menu is to clear all text and then press c! However I feel this interface is better than the one in my phone(T9abc status box is at the top right corner). The one shown in figure, easier to switch between T9 and normal in it. I've used such text editor in earlier Samsung C200. No press'n'hold,which is a nightmare for some people.(search for the keyword 'dreaded t9' to see an opinion !) Thanks to Doctor for all the information. Hope to see some comments on this...

  • Mazen; For good sound clarity, buy W700 For good images, select N73 For good video select D900 But you love Samsung phones....

  • Tals; The 'fullscreen' option in this phone doesn't give you the real full-screen view.(Does it ?) You are not viewing ALL PARTS of the photo at a time. It is some kind of a zoomed view. You have to scroll to the left and right to view other parts. This is because the landscape viewfinder is absent in it. But with picsel file viewer, you can rotate the images and then make it full screen - the real full screen !(Refer tip 34 in my guide) That is why I said "no full screen slideshow"(sorry for making confusion..) There need not be any considerable difference between two firmware versions. Just some small bugs fixed or so...You got a new firmware !(mine is FH1-Aug 2006) So why thinking about flashing? Search for 'flashing' and you'll get some opinions. Plenty of compatible games here: (still, some of them may show install error)

  • plz dont buy this celphone. D900 life is very short. it is easy to damage, i have this for only 6 months.

  • Dears i love samsung mobiles but i'm going to buy new phone and i'm confused between d900 and N73, SE W700 . but i like d900,so plz some one tell me witch is best and the disadvantages of D900.if there i'm interested in good camera"vedio+images"and clear sound and applications and the best h/w with less problems. so Kindly i'm waiting for advice..........

  • Rajesh; i am trying to figure out the full screen and slide show options on the phone using the forum's history. i saw this post of yours: The slide show function in 'My Photos' has limitations. It doesn't provide full screen slide shows... i have full screen slide show on My Photos folder if i first move to full screen and than run a slide show - i assuem this will work for you as well as we have the same firmware. just FYI...

  • the post below is mine. sorry, i forgot to add my name.

  • Rajesh; do we know what is the difference between GA1 and GA2? is there a way to upgrade the firmware? --------------------------------------- about JAVA installation: can i load the same games (gar/gad files) i used for my old D600 on the new D900? where can i find new recommended D900 full screen games to download?

  • Tals; (Read my below post also) However GA1 is not the latest version. For example, Dr.Adedoyin's phone firmware is D900DXGA2...

  • samsung d900 in use (article)

  • Lo Rajesh or any1 that is familiar with installing java/games via USB, the site is down and i can't seem to get to learn how to do it, u guys cud teach me or are there any other sites that teaches u how to do it? thx in advance

  • Mat_Jakun, Thanks. Am aware of this. I mentioned repeated press on the C because you will need one more press after all is cleared to exit. Thanks all the same. I quite appreciate.

  • Dr Adedoyin u can hold down 'C' to del all text no need to keep pressing it repeatedly, hope this helps..

  • Cheers Tals! You made the selection after much research and comparison. Now that you were using another samsung(D600) you'll not possibly regret buying a D900.

  • Hello Rajesh and all other forum readers. just wanted to share with you something that i see as amazing regarding this phone. after two month of research i decided to upgrade my D600 with U600 rather than the D900. it was a very hard decision for me but i was very sure of it till i got to the store and held the D900 successor. the new phone felt like a toy phone and looked terrible in any color i was playing with. the matirial Samsung used with this phone may be of good quality, but look and feel like a very cheap plastic. i simply could not buy it especially after holding a D900 for comparison. the amazing thing here, is that Samsung came up with some amazing slider phones after the D900: e840, D900i, U600 act and they all fail to deliver a product that it better than thier predecessor. just wanted to let you know your old device still rules, at least as i see it. i bought the D900 unlocked in budapest and so far very happy with my choice.

  • Rajesh & David Hope you got the pics i sent to your box. Pls feel free to ask any other questions you might wish about my phone. It seems to me that samsung made and modify this phone more than once while marketing it at same time.

  • Maxima, Your question...how do you get "back"? The answer is i press the "C" button to get back. But if i've typed messages i simply press the "C" button repeatedly till all messages clear then press the "C" button once more to get back. ---------------- Rajesh & David Hope you got the pics i sent to your box. Pls feel free to ask any other questions you might wish about my phone. It seems to me that samsung made and modify more this phone more than once while marketing it at same time.

  • Press and hold # key to activate silent mode.

  • hi any 1 know a quick way to put the fone on silent

  • Rajesh, I use english for text messages. Have never used any other language. I've been trying to get pics of the message screen to send to you and am having little focusing problem cos my camera is autofocus and this doesn't do well with reflective surface. Will send you what i get by this evening (our time}.

  • .......and I remember this type of text interface in one of my old Samsung phone - C200, I think....(To Dr.Adedoyin)

  • Dr.Adedoyin, are you using the local language for messaging? Is there any difference when you select 'English'? (Just because of curiosity)

  • I think this phone very gud, but i have only problem with it though. When trying to download like the latest Mxit version....it says "Network error"....even download games via my GPRS connections. I've restarted the phone, went to a mobile shop, they configure it, i dismantle the phone, simcard, battery etc....after an hour...still the same thing....now, can anyone on this planet help with this? Is there a bug on this models or is there software that i can download to reset the phone...anything....PLEASE...!!!!

  • Maxima, On the new message screen, lower right hand corner, i have symbols for [t9]Eng. When pressed briefly repeatedly, this changes to [1]Eng, [*/]Eng, [A]Eng. There is no back button. Lower left hand corner shows Options. Long press on the right soft key as mentioned before puts me in Imput mode where the list is 1. ABC mode 2. T9 Mode 3. Number 4. Symbolic 5. Add word 6. Language select. If i have the time tomorrow i will take a pic of this New message screen with an auto focus digital camera and send it to Rajesh's mailbox. If i have yours, I'll send to you too.

  • Rajesh & Maxima Looks as if am alone on this. I'll appreciate other users comments. My phone can't be wrong and i know what am talking about. Long press on right soft key while writing text message brings out the Input mode screen while short presses change input between t9, Abc, 123, and symbols. Long press on * button brings the added symbols chart while long press on # changes you from whatever mode you are in to 123 mode and back. ALL USERS OF D900 Pls comment. -------------------------------------------- Yes my D900 works same as Dr's & i'm frm Malaysia.

  • Hello I couldn't find review of U600, so can someone compare this one with D900 PLZ? I don't care about FM but performance? 1.How is call/speaker volume? 2.Does it's 690 mah battery long less compared with 800 mah of D900? 3.How is A2DP with wireless headsets? 4.What about those problems in D900 like lack of call profile and photo viewing cons and....? I've heard U600 has A2DP problem,D900i JAVA problem and D900 has so many other problems. So which is the smart choice ?

  • TALS; You never bothered me with stupid questions !:) Before selecting D900, I had been constantly watching the opinions and remarks here for about two months. I had also many questions like whether it had video caller id, full screen video play back, about the maximum memory card...so on. Then Maxima was here to answer all my queries. Unless I had not visited this page regularly, I would have bought a 1GB Kingston mem card and fell in trouble. So keep asking; somebody - me, maxima, Dr.Adedoyin or somebody else will be there to help you. I am not sure about the exact batch in which screen cracking occured. By 'latest' I mean the latest possible. This is the thread where I posted the jabra question(Refer post#227): Nobody has answered yet. Keep watching. I think FEW owners of D900 go for bluetooth stereo headset; otherwise we would have got more comments in this page itself. ...and why few combination of samsung and jabras? Is it because music lovers usually go for SE phones?!(excuse me samsung lovers!) :D

  • it's agreat device more better than n 73 and n95 smart shape & great features it's the most beautiful mobile u can get

  • KEYPAD TONES. Tap in 9-4-2 at foot of this page and search. Question has been raised many times. Answer is there.

  • I just got my phone and it wont let me change the keypad tone. It keeps going off every time i press a botton and i dont know how to change the settings because it wont let me go into that setting. HELP!

  • Dr ADEDOYIN. Hello again. When writing a new message, what does it say on bottom right of your screen before you long press the RH soft key ?? Mine says "Back". If yours says something else, how do you get "Back" ???

  • RORY. Simple. Press and hold LH side button. Time will be displayed together with an indicator if you have missed a call.

  • Rajesh, what will you consider a latest production? starting january 2007? did the other forums yield any results? can you share their links so i wouldn't bother you with stupid questions :-) 10x.

  • Tals; The month and year of manufacture will be printed on the pack. ................................................­...... Mat_Jakun ; Stupid function ! If you try to move a LOCKED file to PC, it says 'not allowed'. Then you have to select the file in the phone, unlock it and then move it to pc ! I don't understand the use of it.

  • Rajesh & Maxima Looks as if am alone on this. I'll appreciate other users comments. My phone can't be wrong and i know what am talking about. Long press on right soft key while writing text message brings out the Input mode screen while short presses change input between t9, Abc, 123, and symbols.

  • Can anyone enlighten me as to how I can get the display on the phone to show me when I�ve either missed a call or received a message, until I acknowledge the message. It would also be nice for the display to show the time when on standby? At the moment I need to activate the display to check for both the above.

  • Any1 could explain how the 'Lock' feature works?and what r their functions? example u select 1 of ur mp3 or file in the phone, and go options, below u will see a option called 'Lock' .. whats it do? i'v locked and unlocked my files, nothing happened .. what r their true functions?

  • To RAJESH & Dr ADEYDOYIN. My UK phone has the same buttons and functions as Rajesh's. I don't know anything about any hardware variations.

  • Rajesh, about the cracking issue: how can i know if the phone is of latest production when i am in the store? About the U600 BT620s: thanks for posting on other forums :-)

  • TALS; You are very careful for a phone selection. Appreciate it. 1. The cracking issue - as far as I know, has appeared only in some early batch distributed in UK. All the complaints came from UK-sold phones. And now we are not hearing the issue at all . And if you take a little care also, the risk element can be narrowed very much. Buy a latest production, if you. 2)U600 & jabra BT620s : my knowledge is not better than yours. The specs say that U600 is A2DP compatible, so BT 620 or any stereo headset must work. However in the Jabra site/ bt620s page, I can't see U600 in the compatibility box(click below and find it on the right side of page) ...MAY BE because they are still to update the list with U600(it is some what a new model, the U600). I have seen your post in the U600 page. I have also posted the question in some other forum and waiting for the reply.

  • Hi Rajesh, i have a very strange question for you and i hope you can assist. after a couple of month of research i will finally (and hopefully) buy a new phone this weekend when in Budapest. I narrowed down the options to D900 and U600. i read your post (and did some googling) regarding the comparison and for me both phones are pretty equal in features and performance. there is one major thing that bothers me with each handset and i want to take the final decition according to those issues: - D900 cracking issue. - U600 lack of A2DP compatibility knowledge. i corrently use a D600 with Jabra BT620s and would like to use the BT headphones with the new phone very much. i know from Dirk that D900 is fully competibale and afraid U600 will have unexpected issues. about the cracking issue: i read all that was posted here (and did some googling) about it and still not relaxed buying a D900. i can not follow most of your tips you posted, as i like to take the phone in my jeans and need to charge it with the battry act. can you supply any info, opinion or even just hunches regarding my dilemma and the two major fears/issues? i know this probably sounds like a strange request :-) 10x in advanced, tals.

  • Rajesh, This is amusing. I thought all D900 work same way as mine. It will be interesting to hear other users' comments on this issue. Lets hear what Maxima has to say on those differences. Cheers

  • Dr.Adedoyin; I read all your descriptions with surprise. There is no 'input menu' in my phone and the RIGHT SOFT KEY is for 'back' always !! And I'm not very happy to see that the same model has so many versions with such differences. D900 users, it will be interesting to know how these things work in your phones....

  • ALIZA. Tap in "save messages" at foot of this page and Search. Answer is there.

  • I live in uk and have a samsung d900 when I went to san francisco recently it didnt work at all,I have checked my phone web site and it should work in usa,I am off to miami next week how do I get it to work??

  • Raj, To explain further, it is short presses on the right soft key that gives me the switching between T9, Abc, 123, and symbols. Long press on the right soft key brings up the Input mode menu

  • Raj, I don't know if its really a shortcut or not but i use the right soft key to change between T9, Abc, and 123, as well as symbols modes when writing text messages. The left soft key is for options.

  • Raj, Am talking about TEXT MESSAGE not browser or Opera mini. MENU > 5 > 1 > 1. That is MENU > Messages, > Create new messages, > Text messages. Long press on my * brings up the additional symbols boxes on the screen (the ones you move with directional keys and select with numerical keys). Key 1 gives selections of few symbols. The long press on # key changes my input from whatever mode to 123 mode and another long press on the same # key returns me back to my previous mode. This is how my own works. Am sure some others will have this also. Its not possible for only my phone to work this way. ---------------- Maxima, Yeah, i get P for pause with long press on * when dialling a phone number.

  • can any one help me! i wonder why cant i save my outgpoing messages in outbox. the outgoing messages are never saved in outbox or sentbox. somebody reply

  • pleaase help me! ive pushd something on my phone whilst using the camera and the images on the screen when i go to take a photo appears upside down and i dont know what ive done... ive tryed everything! please help

  • Dr.Adedoyin, I doubt that you are talking about the browser/opera mini text editor where the shortcuts are exactly as you said. But GHOCT was talking about TEXT MESSAGES screen.... And if shortcuts for text message creator differ, it is strange. Then what is the shortcut for t9&normal mode in your phone?

  • DR. Adedoyin and Rajesh. I go with Raj on this one. Doctor, when dialling a phone number, do you get "P" for pause with a long press on * ??

  • Raj, Am very sure. When writing text messages, long press on * gives me the symbols but long press on # changes me from whatever imput method am using to 123 imput and back.

  • check talk time 6h30min(3h30min)??????

  • i Like this Phone !

  • Dr.Adedoyin: Are you sure, Doctor? Interesting ! In my phone (while messaging) I press and hold # key to get symbols. Press&hold * key will switch between T9 mode and normal mode. It may differ with different versions?

  • @ zamerer, use the volume button the side to turn off the keypad tone.

  • Rajesh, Greeting. Just want to point this out. In your reply to GHOCT you probably mean to say "...for more symbols press and hold the * key". Cheers

  • Michael, memory card can't be accessed through pc studio. Go to settings/phone settings/usb settings and select MASS STORAGE. Then connect to pc using cable. Memory card will be displayed as a removable disk in 'My Computer'. You can copy/paste as usual. Easy ! No need of PC studio. Note: 1. Before removing cable, click on the 'safely remove hardware' icon in the taskbar of desktop. 2. Once the cable is removed, usb settings goes back to 'Modem'.

  • Pls tell me how i transfer songs directly to my memory card from the pc studio!! Help pls otherwise i have to do it all from my phones memory to the memory card and that takes so long.Pls help i am desperate

  • SIETTA01: Go to menu-4 then from 'current profile', select your network's profile. If it is not in the list, contact your network provider for settings. This is a network related feature. If GPRS is not activated by default in your sim, contact operator.

  • My question is to Rajesh.I really love the animated theme of this phone,but I'm not getting the image of TAJ MAHAL in spite of staying here in India. Instead of it I'm just getting the image of a field. can i load such more animated theme?
