Samsung E740 - User Reviews

  • E740 Samsung! Still we had at home in good working condition. The music from this little devil is really enchanting compare to any new modern mobiles in 2017. Such a melodious poise in listening to it. In the night time from terrace of the building one should listen to its flawless music!! Clarity of the audio is still amazing! The fonts and touch & feel is great. And Sar value is so negligible. Thank you Samsung!!

  • Totally Agree!!It's bass pumping too!!

  • one of the worst phone i had puchased...plz dont buy

  • I have this phone since 2008/12/15 and bought it for R999 (+/- $170) at Cell C South Africa (Cape Gate Center in Kraaifontein, Cape Town) I'm still happy with it even after it got alot of beating. It's as strong as an Swiss Bank Vault compared to my brother's Nokia 5220 XpressMusic which was about twice the price. My E740 fell from about three and a half stories into the dust below the stadium seats(Koetzenberg Stadium in Stellenbosch)knocking part of the numberpad out of it's socket on the side. Fixed it pretty quick by pressing it back with a minature screwdriver. Only problems I have is the short battery lifetime, sometimes when opening a large wapsite the phone seems to restart and also when recording video or a taking a photo, the photo itself has a green line at the bottom running from the right to mid-left of the screen. It only appear and dissapears from time to time which is nothing major. The earphones is a bit dramatic but has great sound quality and is comfortable only for a while, the sillicone tend to tear. You can use E250 earphones on the E740 but I would not recommend to do it. The scrollwheel is not as fast anymore but still works and it lost is nice glitter effect after a while. The default browser is a bit useless but can be avoided by using Opera Mini. Java is not so great, can only download apps & games smaller than 300KB. Music Player is awesome and users-friendly. It can play MP4 & 3GP videos only up to a maximum of 176x220 resolution, 128kb bitrate at either 11fps or 15fps. Can play all mp3 & wma formats but AAC tend to bit of problem because it only support one of the three AAC codecs. SD access times are a bit slow with large files but it all depens on the SD Card itself. Great fone but for the price I payed back in 2008 I can now buy a Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini for the same price today or for a bit less an Nokia 5130 XpressMusic.

  • this may be because of the reject list feature in the phone. the number for which call is rejected without ring, must be added in the reject list. check the reject list and remove the munber from that list this should work

  • I have been using this phone since Jan 2008. I bought this phone for Rs.7900 in bangalore. The features like 2 MP camera, MP3 player, FM, GPRS, and 256k display offered for that price at that time was very good. But i am extremely disappointed with the user interface, which allows very little customization. The main menu icons are not colorful, they are just plain white icons with single-color background. The background color changes per the skin color selected. Also, it comes with only 1 default tajmahal theme. The theme cannot be changed; only skin color can be changed. Mp3 volume via earphone is too low while traveling in a bus. Also, speaker phone is volume is very low. Other than this boring user interface and low Mp3 volume, the phone performs all fuctions well. Also, photos of moving objects come blurred.

  • There's a problem with my phone. One call is automatically rejected without any prior phone bell and then comes in the category of missed calls.

  • i've been using this fone for over a year now and i LOVE it.. it's simple, cute, and very strong (i dropped mine all the time and still works brandnew). I'm proud having this fone..best one i've had ^_^

  • Simply Rocks

  • i ve been using this for the past 3 yrs.. & let me tell you.. its a darling.. ;-) Its delicate, cute, stylish n at the same time.. it comes with the Best features. The 2mp camera produces excellent pics. It also supports FM recording which is nt found in any of the phones in its category.. the memory is expandable upto 2GB. I bought it for 7,000 Indian rupees & i'm a proud owner of it. till date.. ;-)

  • the phone is lovely to used unfortunately i lost mine but i dont mind buying it again cos it's very strong and reliable.thanks

  • Been using my E740 for the past 2yrs and its working perfectly till date. One of the best phone ever, keep it up.

  • I have owned this phone for over a year now and there is nothing wrong with it. Absolutely no problems with it. Its a simple and pretty fone, but in South Africa its only availible in metallic colour. Watever anyone say against this fone, just keep it in your mind but don't believe it. Its an exellent fone!

  • a very cool phone lacks camera stuff though, but for all it's worth it is very simple after a bit of getting use to! not one scratch on mine and ive dropped on rock and tiling, Not One! if you were looking for a simple slide it is worth getting that one

  • Every E740 we sold broke within a week or two, so we stopped selling them. Shame they are sorta cute...

  • These people saying this phone is bad are thick. Ive had it 4 2 years now and it hasn't crashed or done any of the things you say. Yes it could do with setting mp3's as ringgtones but its an amazing phone. Its the toughest ive ever had too. Ive dropped it loads and it hasn't broken. It's only got a crack in the screen as som1 sttod on it with football boots on, but it still works perfectly fine. My mum and dad both had their own of this phone and both think it was amazing. Its the best phone ive ever had.

  • This phone came to australia and everyone had problems with it so they had to stop sending them out. all dead on arival or software issues. Worst phone ever

  • I am using this phone since 1 year. So far no problems. Good features, but lacks separate speaker for mp3, so volume is not enough while playing in speaker mode. Also, it has many skins, but only 1 theme. So, you can change the skin, but not the theme. Other than this, no problems. I even keep it in a pouch which has a magnet lock mechanism. No problem with the magnet for me so far. It has many features and hence gave full value for money during its time of release.

  • After using this phone for about 2 weeks, my biggest complaint is that the ringer volume is way too low, even at the highest setting. Part of the problem is that the phone is program for an increasing ring volume, so for the first couple of seconds the ringer is almost inaudible. On the plus side, the 2mp camera produces better photos than expected.

  • i buy this mobile recently but i cant do it caller image not setting in this phone please give me suggestion

  • It's a smart-looking phone, but it doesn't rock that much. Aside from my previously-mentioned problem with the magnet, I've experienced the following negative issues: - ring volume is not loud enough; - there are no user-programmable profiles; - no shortcuts to incoming call settings; - the slider is a bit wobbly when closed. It is an OK phone overall, but unless I can get it for cheap (which I did), I wouldn't recommend it.

  • Simply Rocks.

  • I normally use a belt leather case with a magnetic closure. I've never had any problem with any other phone, but with the E740 (actually E747 in Canada), it appears that the magnet will cause the screen to turn on from sleep mode. It's not causing any unintended calls or affecting in-coming calls, but at the very least it would affect battery life. Just wondering if anyone else has had similar experience with magnets affecting their cell phones.

  • not unable to connect mobile to pc interenet

  • is the memory expandable?

  • hey.. i am presently using this phone, Samsung E740 & its Great..! ;-) In order to connect ur phone to pc, first u got to get a samsung pc studio software..(can download it or get it frm samsung service centre) install it on ur system. then connect ur phone to d system using d usb cable.. only then can u access ur pictures, msgs, contacts etc etc.. on ur pc..

  • you attach usb cable to usb port on pc. and you see a thing pop up in the middle of the screen you scroll down and click on "open folder to view files" and it opens you go on "pictures" and you press Ctrl on your pc keyboard and A at the same time and then you press move this file and then a window opens in the midde of the screen and you select the desktop or local disc part and then you press move and there you go that's how I did it.

  • If you want to put the pictures on ur computer you have to get the disk which comes with the phone and put it in you computer so it lets you download the program onto your computer, when it is finished downloading plug the phone in again and it should hopefully come up with a box saying Samsung PC Studio 3 and then you can download things on or off your phone. Hope tht helped :)

  • wants to plug and play the E740 on the XP SP2 computer but nothing seems to be happaning. How do I download all my pictures to my computer?

  • Go To Settings>Phone Settings>Slide Settings and set down to stop operation or continue operation. I've had this phone for a year now. Works fine never freezed or anything and dropped it a millon times =] I will only change it Q3 next year

  • This mobile seemed good and all at first but, whenever i slide my phone back to close it, the music player appears and wont disappear until i exit it. nobody buy this mobile as it does freeze at times and it stuffs up quick. >

  • how can i set my songs as ringtone??

  • is this a good phone and what is the bad suft in it?

  • Now I am frightened when I look back at what I have written about my disappointment with the E740 and discover that a 'sticky' has appeared on the word phone in my text with a pop-up that makes it look as if I am promoting Nokia!!!! The world is full of the wicked.

  • I am very disappointed with this phone! It is freezing on me. I noticed trouble with it immediately I began to use it but tried to ignore the telltale signs of an unstable system, skipping of its own accord, not reading a select command and telling me that nothing is selected, frustrating. And the Users Guide is a scanty overview of functions and settings that helps little when searching what solutions there may be to the problems. If the seeming instability of the phone might be said to be the fault of an incompetent handling it then show me the errant who promotes this phone and sells it with its Excuse for a User Guide.

  • I brought the phone 2 begin with and when i got it home and was using it.. it froze and turned off... This phone is a piece of crap and i wouldnt buy.. i took it back and they gave me a new phone a different model.. i think this phone shouldnt be on the shelves anymore.. they sell u something that will stuff up, its illegal to sell u something that you dont even get ur moneys worth for... Its a piece of crap and i wouldnt buy it not even as a gift for any1... It should be taken of the sheleves and stop taking ppl's money for SOMETHING YOU CANT EVEN USE!!! TAKES THIS ITEM of the SHELEVES... If u remove my comment again ill post it again! ITS ILLEGAL & SHOULDNT BE ALLOWED TO BE SOLD!!!

  • Samsung doesn't read .txt file.. What should I do to put a notepad file in Samsung E740 if it cannot read it..

  • it's a good phone, i have it for one year and it's still working fine. for silence you should press # not 0, and it will be silent :)

  • its a good phone.. im using it for a year dy and its working good ppl this phone is good its worth buying so far it has dropped so many times nothing has happen also the battery last for long it has alot of features

  • I got this phone yesturday and i think it is good. not good that you cant have mp3 as sms tone. sound is good on it. the menu is a bit slow at times. you just have to not rush when going though the menu. it has not yet turned off on me or stuffed up. but i will come back in one month and tell you all how it is going. cya!

  • I tried to press the button on the left and it comes up with volume. i pressed 0 for silence but the key pad still makes noise. so annoying

  • Hey everyone i was just wondering, me and my bestie were thinking about getting this phone adn we were just wondering if we should get this one or a different one. Please help mee..

  • My brother and i both bought this phone. About a month ago my brothers phone wouldnt turn on, also none of the bottons on the keypad would work. After he returned his phone mine started to freeze and turn off when ever it liked, also when i tried to play music it would make a high pitched squeling sound and would not stop unless you took the battery out,the music was going from slow to fast loud to soft. I recemend not to buy this phone because after reading the other opinions this samsung phone is faulty.

  • i bought this phone last weekend and i have had toooooooo many problmes with ut.. it freezez, turns off when it feels like it even tho it has been fully charged.. it also turns off while im receving an incoming call and while its switched off, it keeps vibrating! the worst phone i have ever owned. i went back into th store i bought it from and im awaiting a word from th manager to see whether i can exchange it for another phone altogether. im hoping i can swap it and add a bit more money on top and get a nokia.... i absolutely hate it! 0 out of 10

  • i bought this phone a month ago & since then it has been replaced twice till i told vodafone i wanted a newphone . this phone twice has kept freezing, saying "insert sim" & turns off whenever it feels like it. in my opinion, don't purchase this phone or any samsung phone, stick with a nokia

  • can you lock the message inbox and keypad?

  • This is a very good mobile, and clarity of the mobile is excellent . I have a doubt can anybody tell me How to put the keypad volume off?

  • it is a great phone u should get it becsuse it is really good phone to use and it is better than my old 2 phones so go out and buy one for your self.

  • to change ur message tone, u have to go to settings then sound settings then message tone, then messages then click using the i button then go down and choose ur tone. The once u r happy with it press select and then save.

  • I only got this phone the other day. Its very good. I love it!! Black one looks waaaaaaaay better than the pink coz the pink one looks too "girly". Very nice design and has everything u could ask for on it. I had two other phones before they were sagems but they weren't that good, this ones better.I really really love it. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • to save ur sent msg when u r sending time choose save and send in the sending option can anyone tell me how to change my message tone i dont want the default tone that is given does anyone hv any idea

  • and i personally believe that the black one looks the best; the pink/silver colours doesnt mosh together to make it stylish and yehhhhs. i miss my old black one )': lawl. im going nowwww

  • and ohh, you cant change the message tone to a mp3 ): my friend has a samsung [but not this phone] and she can change it to a mp3 tone. i think its cause she with a different company; boost!!

  • i had this phone for a month or so but a few days ago i had to get it replaced for a new one cause the bluetooth broke. The phone has all the basic features you need, has a good design and has one push buttons for music, camcorder/camera which i use often. Oh, and it has this spinning wheel thingy for the music player but its sometimes annoying if u accidentally push it or whatever. The only thing that i dont like about this phone is that if you want the phonebook as a shortcut, you cant and if you live in australia and you try to find a crystal shell cover for it, you cant really find it; you have to go on ebay to buy one.. thats what i did. i give it a 8.5 overall for the phone.... yehhhhs :S

  • I just bought this phone and I really like it!!

  • ive have this phone nd i rekon its bad. i use to av a sagem that didnt work but this 1 is worse. the best phone i would recomend is any type of nokia every1 has told me they are the best brand. u guys pik wat us wnt but for me this 1 was sooooooo bad im gonna return it.

  • Can someone please tell me if this is a good phone?

  • just reduce volume key

  • neither. how do you?

  • could someone please tell me how to turn the key pad noise off? thanks

  • Could someone please tell me how is the battery life with normal use?

  • I just got this phone a few hours ago and I totally love it. My previous phone was busted beyond repair and I had to quickly get a new one. I love the E740 as it does so much more than it should for the price I payed for it. Great camera, good navigation. Excellent in general. Well, anything will beat my old phone, but it is still pretty damn good. PROS - Super cheap for what it does. - Pretty! - A billon times better than my old phone. CONS - Haven't worked any out yet. - Maybe the lack of free games, I mean, no solitare!!

  • does this phone have pop up sms?

  • Judging from similar Samsung slides, the camera is most likely on the top half of the back when it slides out

  • does it have camera

  • does it have message or call blocking function i mean black list ?

  • can anybody please tell me if it can block unwanted calls / sms ?? please & how

  • I've bought this phone in January. I must say that this phone is great and is much batter than Motorola V1100

  • ive been using this phone since february this year and all is going well. its a great phone and ive been getting many compliments on it - its not released here yet =] ive noticed that a lot of people are asking about how to use the pc studio cd or use the usb to transfer files to the phone. you DO NOT need to install the cd or even use the studio to put things onto your phone with the usb. the reason it doesnt work is because the setting may be on a different one. to change it i went to menu > settings > phone settings > USB settings > and i chose mass storage then each time you connect your phone to your computer it should pop up as a removeable disk in My Computer - like a usb.

I've downloaded and installed Samsung PC Studio program, but it doesn't detect the phone when I connect it to the computer. Can someone help me, please? Thanks in advance

  • how long does the battery holds?

  • I brought this phone in black a few days ago and it is amazing! The music player is very similar to an iPod. The camera is good but its a shame it doesn't have flash. The scroll wheel is excellent! They should have them on more phones. In conclusion it's worth buying! Only �70 exclusive to T-Mobile (UK) and you get a fair bit in the box as well..... 9/10

  • To get the camera pictures and videos onto the computer you need to install the software disc it comes with, then the computer should detect the usb hardware and install it self then when opening the software (the samsung logo on the desktop) go to file then connection, then onnect to the software then go to file manager and then you should be able to go to pictures and videos, then highliht them and drag them into a folder or the desktop and then that should be it...hope this helps you.

  • I have been using this phone for a week now. This phone may not have the latest must have features such as wifi or even 3Gs. But it more than makes up for it as a capable music phone. Samsung is doing it right by having phones with similar features but with slightly different designs. Aesthetics play a big role in how the general public (not the techno geeks)choose their phones. As for the the Samsung e740, it matches my criteria in terms of aesthetic appeals and uniqueness. I choose this phone over more feature abundant phones because of the way it looks and the unique click wheel that it has. On top of that I never like a bulky handphone so I will not choose over the top phones such as N80, K880i etc. I realized that most of the time I will never use those high end features at all. Coming back to the e740, its features are on the middle ground. It takes decent pictures, plays music with an almost full featured software that can rival a full-fledged MP3 player and with great sound to boot. The clickwheel offers an interesting way to navigate around the menus. Definitely one of the more interesting sliders out there. The new menu interface is a marked improvement over the last generation of phones. Of course there are things that could be better made and one of them is the softness of the incoming call ringtones. It is noticeably softer compared to my previous Samsung e890. Also, Samsung could have offered more themes to make their phones more visually appealing. It is a waste of an excellent TFT screen that Samsung is well known for without many themes to support it. All in all, I like my e740. Kean

  • There is no theme for samsung,,, only in sony ericsson

  • Does anybody know where to find themes for samsung e740, or any themes for samsung mobiles that fit e740? Thank you.

  • you can save the music in memory card. you must press the copy and then go to memory card and then press copy here hi from croatia

  • I bought this phone and everything went well until the memory card would not go in. In the instructions it says just give the memory card a light push to insert it. I took it back to the shop as i assumed it was faulty. The shop assistant then got it in- and told me you have to have long finger nails to put it in!! Did anyone else have the same problem?

  • i don't know how, but i know i did it! i shut off sound from the keypad! :) you have to choose some theme from setup, and after that you can get in keypad sound. ...and now i'm happy

  • i cannot download music to my memory card. and phone only saves music in the phone. please help.

  • can someoen pls tell is this voulme loud and clear when listening to someone talking pls help many thanks

  • can somebody tell me if its possible to have my own tone as my text tone?? Their tones are so annoying!

  • why don't they give the flash option? every thing is ok without it...in fact every single model lacks something

  • Has this phone Picsel Viewer?

  • To turn the kepyad sound off press the down arrow in the scroll key on the left side of the phone with no applications open on the phone. Keep on pressing the key until you see the "Key Volume" level as 0. That will turn off ur keypad tone.

  • Software updates for this phone ? where on the web ?

  • to turn off keyped tones : On the left side of phone set volume at minimum ( on stand by mode, no enter in menu,etc)

  • Hello! I've just purchased this phone and was very excited until I realized I couldn't turn the kepyad sound off. Is that a common problem? Can it be fixed? At the sound settingd the kepyad sound sublink is completely inactive.

  • To record a conversation, put the call on hold, Click on Options> Conv. Record and it would start recording ur conversation. Save the file once you have finished recording.

  • Go to Settings>Sound Settings. Select Silent Mode and select the Mute or Vibrate option

  • # - long press

  • no, it is no possible on this phone...

  • Hi.. just tell me one thing .. Can u Record conversation... OR can u access the menu durring the call and turn on record voice recorder for for record conversation..pls tell me i want buy this phone..

  • I've just bought a samsung e740 and I have a question about it. Which types of files does it recognise? I've tried with .JAR files but my cell couldn't recognise it.

  • Can we play Windows Media Player Videos synchronized into the phone..?

  • Phone is great but keypad sucks..

  • Hey, How to view full screen video on it?

  • Is sooooooooo cool!!!

  • Anyone experienced sound issues with Java apps? The main problem I am trying to get to the bottom of is lack of sound immediately after a download. Once I download a Java app, the handset launches it immediately. On this launch, no sound plays at all throughout the application. However, if I relaunch the application myself, sound plays as expected. I've had other sound issues as well, perhaps caused by the fact that I cannot disable keytones (the option is there but is not selectable). There is a workaround if you put the phone into silent mode and then enable sound in Java apps, but its a bit lame. And when the hell am I going to get a Samsung that accepts simultaneous key presses! Is it too much to ask? Its impossible to enjoy a mobile phone game when the handset doesn't recognise more that one key press at a time =p

  • Yes you can watch full screen (land scape) videos on this phone
