Samsung DoubleTime I857 - User Reviews

  • i cant use other musics as my ringtone....aside that its been a useful phone. av used it for about three years

  • i can't switch on my portable wifi hotpot

  • I Have problem with setting my ringing tune with a music from another source.

  • i have this phone sgh-i857 now it doesnot startup at all...i stops at Rethink Possible....unable to flash stock firmware(md5 file) through odin can anyone help

  • i am having the same problem with the memory,so i need help to sort it so when i download an app it will go to the sd card instead of the internal,or is this not possible?otherwise a generally good phone but would prefer latest.

  • long press the back key and hold then press the home key once

  • the best cell i like my phone work perfect not problems i have so many app and work faster

  • how i can purchase it in PAKISTAN>>//???

  • So, I'm wondering why haven't you rooted the phone? Get you a 32-gig memory card, partition it to 4 gigs. Then you have 4-and-a-half gigs of internal memory, and 28 gigs external. No problem with memory there. You could probably get a kernel to overclock it to 6 or 700mhz. With rooting and custom roms and kernels, any phone has the potential to be a bad-***:) If anyone would like any help with that, just let me know. Good luck y'all. ---Motorola MB860-Unlocked-Rooted-Modded-CM7.2-Clemsy's 2.6.32.48 1.46ghz---

  • I HATE THIS PHONE SO MUCH! It is probably the worst phone I have ever had. I got it a year and a half ago, and I've been unhappy with it since. There is such low memory in it, (2GB) that whenever I download 1 app, (which is pretty much all it can hold) it tells me that the memory is full. When this happens it also doesn't allow me to receive any text messages. This even happens to me when I don't have any apps on the phone, so I have to delete some of the included applications that came with the phone itself. The Internet connection is extremely slow and is VERY choppy. I takes mediocre pictures, but the zoom isn't good at all. The call quality I thought was okay, but it's very sensitively and likes to hang up while your talking because of your cheek, but when you take away from your face and try to hang up, I have to tap the hang up button at least 3 times for it to work. Now that its almost time for an early upgrade, we called AT&T and they told us that when we trade it in, it will be worth 23 dollars. That is definitely what it is worth, nothing more than that. I'm trading it in for a Galaxy s4, which I'm sure is going to be much much better.

  • samsung i405 is nice phone

  • i have the samsung double time and i love it! it is a great phone for a teenager because it doesnt have and the high end apps that teens wont ever use or a phone that is useless it is in the middle, i think. it has a great qwerty keyboard and is easy to type with. and plus it has a touch screen qwerty keyboard for little messages.

  • Now the internet goes where you go. Your DoubleTime� serves as a Wi-Fi hotspot, so there's no more having to pay a fee to sign on at various locations. And as portable hotspot, you can provide internet access up to 5 devices (additional charges may apply). It's a great way to make friends.--- found this on the samsung site!!

  • love that phone to the maximum,wish could have it,its verry nice phone

  • This phone is not an S2 and might not be suitable for you, but it doesn't mean no one wants such a phone. And from now on every phone should be android regardless how it looks like.
