  • HI I simply love my phone. Like many other people I'm also having the problem with the volume. Surely there is someone who could help us.

  • Got a new piece of SGH-E830, and it seems really good, plays MP3, radio and other features I am trying to explore, seems to have a bright prospect, but would prefer it had a small hook to handle this fragile piece. Regards Henry

  • I've been looking for a good phone since my last suddenly 'broke', and after reading lots of comments for samsung phones, i don't think they're all that reliable. it's a shame though since they look so nice! :(

  • wats up with the sound its too low

  • I have this phone right now and although it looks good, the problem is with the audio. I agree that it's not loud enough. Also, I have a problem with the battery life. I usually use the sms feature a lot and it drains the life out of my battery in practically 3 hours I guess. So sad..

  • Samsung are the best looking phones and this model and the U-700 prove that!! The E-830 looks best in gold/black. I had a X-690 and it lasted me a year before it was stolen from me!! That Ksh 10,000 phone has a better camera that my current Ksh 15,000 phone of another model and a longer battery life!!

  • the flex of my cellphone samsung E830 was easily destroyed although I had been very very careful in handling it. now, when I went to a cellphone repair shops, no one would like to replace the flex because they claimed that samsung have limited spare parts. the flex of E830 is hard to find...how is this...?

  • I bought this phone last year. it was okay, but the audio and sound is not loud enough. quite disappointed with that

  • Once again samsung has hugely proven dat its unreliable. 1st i had da D600 which decided 2 die on me afta 7months of use. Then i had da D900 for 5months then da charger/earphones port decided not 2 work anymore. And now i had da E830 which afta jus 4months of usage da camera started givin me problems. It was filled wit this purple colour in it. A month later da camera died. 3months later da screen died and now da screen doesnt switch on, even wen da phone is on. Can u jus imagine? I havnt used a samsung phone for more dan 9months, not cause i dnt want to, but cause they always failed me. Am neva gon buy a samsung phone again. Think its tym i went back to da brand dats always been there for me, sony ericsson.

  • Can this phone watch video in full screen mode?

  • Please help me as soon as possible, I bought this Samsung and I love it to bits though I had a problem with the volume which is the was=y far too low so I dialled *#8999*test# and change the audio settings not knowing that I'm ruining everything. My phone now doesnt ring at all , I cant hear the caller I'm just frustrated , please help me asit is the only phone I have

  • this is such a great phone, i love it! i just need your help! i kinda changed things i wasn't suppose to and now my volume is all gone and i dont know how to put it back. this is what i typed in: *#8999*test# and it went to test mode and i changed all my audio settings. plz help me put them back:-(

  • How can i save files onto my phone's expansion card??

  • Hello everyone, does this phone has any earpiece at all. How does it look like? Though a good phone, save for the fact that the volume is damn too low for my liking.

  • I just bought that phone...How can I set the ringtone to an .mp3 tune? Please help this really sucks using default ringtones

  • No i done think it is touch sensetive! were can i buy this mobile from i looked around a bit and i cant find where from, would you recomend his fone to buy?

  • how long does the battery holds? is the numeric pad touch sensitivity?

  • can any one tell me the url addy and profile website set up...and were the files go once bluetooth to my fone..

  • i just bought this phone 4 days ago i don't know were the files go to once bluetoothd...my website and browser stuff is not set up properly...tried to contact vodofone they can't help because the phone is not in the data base apparently...vodafone can't help now i have go into a samsung store to get them set every thing back up...it would be more helpful if every thing was set up on the phone and listed in vodafones data base...

  • I just got one of this phone and though all features good, the tone is down and I wish the tone is raised up.

  • hi! can anyone tell me if it does work with java applications like mini opera?

  • its so cool i had it for 1year you better try it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I realy like the phone my problem is its volume its volume is down.. I wish it could start with ringing then vibrate..

  • i have this phone for 6days now and the camera takes pictures bad its like im moving fast and the pictures look blurry what is the deal. i can be a foot from the person and it steal comes out bad. is it the phone or something else.

  • Getting fed-up with this phone. I cannot figure out how to change the SMS message tone to a non-samsung defined tone (they give 4 irritating options). And can't figure out how to delete my google browser history. Can anyone help?

  • Can any one tell me does this phone have a document viewer

  • Simply one of the best mobile phones i had in a long time. Radio, good camera, easy to use menu AND it works with any OPERA MINI Applications ( internet browser ). I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE

  • plus plus excellent battery life! way better than sgh-e250 and u600

  • Finally, A sparkling gold phone in my hands =) I really like iT!!! Im impressed with the camera even though it doesnt have a flash it can still handle low lighting conditions unlike nokia. Tried and tested everyone! The only thing that bothered me is the small structure of the phone that made it difficult for me to text (3,6,9,#) to think I have small hands plus please Samsung dont put the camera button on the lower right side where it gets squeezed when I text therefore the letters doesnt kick in since its simultaneously doing a function. Camera button is not much help since if I take a picture landscape mode the mode has no editing feature to flip it clock wise or what have you. In summary, nice work samsung! not bad at all :)

  • This phone has been awesome so far. Very nice looking, easy to use, etc. Two problems that I came across. 1) I don't know how to get the WAP working..it always says network is unavailable. 2) I can't seem to get any games on here via USB(obviously downloading them is out of the question..) Any suggestions? Other than that the phone is pretty much perfect. The sound quality is very good...with the stock headset the sound is pretty much on par with my ipod.

  • I bought this so called high profile phone and I am being disheartened day after day as I am using it. Its cheaper fabrication as well as worse performance making me worried day by day. The only good feature of this phone its slim & sliding outer shape & design. The 2 MP camera with no autofocus gives average quality picture whereas sony ericsson W810i 2 MP camera gives superb picture. This phone makes video of maximum size 176 X 144 pixels just appears to be joking by producing MP4 format vidio files, minimum of which normally remains at 352 X 288 (CIF). Moreover, this recorded MP4 video on this phone cannot be played on Quick Time player or windows media player of any version. There is not even a single LED flash nor night mode option for the camera. The photo or video cannot be saved directly on the memory card, first, saves to phone memory and then need to move manually on to memory card. The FM radio attached is just a old mono type, no stereo function or RDS available. Bluetooth cannot communicate with any other standard bluetooth devices. All these features has been provided simply to cheat & misguide the customers.

  • I need 2 know if i cn save images while surfing www i also a sgh zv50 which is capable of doing just that

  • Hi, i just brought this phone 4 days ago and i have 236 songs on my card how do i get to play all of them on my phone

  • Does this phone really have a document viewer? Pls reply!

  • flattened d600 lovely

  • Attention: Don't buy from e-buy-global.com ! It's strange that they got mobile phones 70% cheaper, e.g. 8600 Luna - $150. It's that odd, that it doesn't even cover production expenses... So, my advice: don't even write to them. They aren't really from Italy! Their host is somewhere in Israel! It might aswell be some kid playing around behind his PC, and getting his money off our backs. When I asked for their company's registration number, business rate, or something like that, the director replied to me they haven't got it for anybody. 'Cause that's something that has to be made public, so anyone may verify it. Thanks! Bye! P.S.: Please tell others, on other forums, too!

  • Great phone! I love it! Just got it yesterday. I'm actually considering Nokia 6300 but great i bought this one instead.

  • i have this phone and i love it :-)

  • Hi Brian The problem with the phone answering when you take it out of your pouch is that the slider mechanism is operated by magnets and you have your phone set to answer when you open the slider. the problem is that the closing fasteners on your belt pouch also work with megnets therefore answering your phone when you move it. I removed the magnets from my pouch and problem solved..
