Samsung Galaxy Discover S730M - User Reviews

  • THE PHONE CAME OUT IN 2012

  • This phone will only help you "Discover" that you need a better phone. It will not play videos on youtube, or update via the playstore. It wont browse without certificate errors on every site. Its a dead phone at this point. Not even fit to repurpose into a security camera.

  • buys this phone like a boss

  • I am Sorry Samsung but i dont like this phone.it is to slow and small.i have this phone though

  • If your interested in any multimedia use then this phone is a joke. Cannot run youtube or any video service. Waste of money unless you are being paid to recyle this junk into something useful. If your thinking about buying this phone seek mental wellness provider. Respect yourself more and buy something that will work at least once before throwing it out the window. I doubt even gravity would want this waste of plastic and false claims.

  • Does anyone know how to remove the quick responses from this phone can't answer any incoming calls it goes to voice mail

  • The samsung galaxy discover do not have 512MB of ram, it have 150MB of ram.

  • It was my first smartphone. So it was sort of discovery for me in terms to lern some futures and advantage that smartphone can give. Now I have Samsung galaxy S 8 plus ☺

  • Does anyone know how to move apps to sd card on this phone? I don't see any "move to sd card" button for any of the apps. Thanks.

  • This phone isn't the best but can get the job done for texting and calling. The camera is terrible though, with no front facing camera or flash at all. The battery life will last the day if you use the phone for texting and calling only. Not lots of space is included with the phone. The price is very low so this is a good phone if you want to pay a little bit of money.

  • I've been using this the last three years. For phone calls and light texting, it's fine. The keyboard is small, if you have large or callused fingers you're going to need a stylus. For browsing, it's very slow. 2GB of RAM crawls along with Facebook, forget about loading any videos. The photos and video camera works fine, not fantastic, but good enuf. Cheap phone, does the job. If you want to do a lot of browsing better get something with more RAM

  • used this phone for a couple years. It is a low cost phone that is good for texting and talking and maybe using wifi once in a while. If you want a phone to use a lot of data on then get a data package and your carrier will set up with the phone of the month on a data plan and a Contract if your not into that then. a newer version of this phone will do. I say a newer version because this phone was low end when introduced. At this point in time you can get a S2, a HTC amaze or iphone 4 for the same price and any of these phones will do more than Just txt and talk.

  • If you payed $100 you were overpaying this wasn't worth more than $75 new. Max.

  • thats really not a good idea

  • I can factory reset mine and you can have it for under $50. I hate mine and if I "lose" it I might get a new one.

  • I bought this phone in 2012 for $100 and it came with a free sim card ($20) as well as $10 airtime to get you started. It was my first Android phone, and is a decent basic phone. The screen is very low-res with horrid colours as its only 256K colours versus 16M for most smartphones. The battery is crap. The adreno 200 and 800mhz cortex A5 are very weak, so gaming won't work unless playing low quality games. All in all, its a good first phone to give a kid or an older person who doesn't need bells and whistles. But its truly a brick.

  • You have to take the battery out of the back and the SIM card is behind it. Just pull the back case off, it won't break.

  • I new a new Samsung discover sgh 5730 m cell phone

  • How do i download pictures?

  • I love this phone! I have had it for over and year and it works really well and glitches every once and a while but it a great phone with a camera that works if you just want to capture a few special moments :) There are some reviews out there that say this isn't the best phone but for me it's great and I use it a lot for social media and games.

  • i had samsung galaxy discovery of model sgh-s730m and was stolen by somebody. i heard that there is a possibility to get it back through google. is it possible for google to indicate which sim number is inserted and be used in this mobile? if possible my email address is [email protected]

  • Does it have the play store when you buy it with straight talk?

  • is that available here in the philippine?

  • It is underneath the battery, just like on any other phone, lol.

  • Does anyone know how to change the SIM card on this phone?

  • How do I change the SIM card on this phone?

  • if you wanted a front camera then buy one that has it but the phone shows you that it dont have one so y would u expect more than what the phone brings lol stupid

  • the speed on the browser of the phone is based on ure signal or wireless speed dont blame the phone for your wifi connection or signal and fyi a mobiles internet is always slow no matter the phone model and if your carrier has 2G only in your area well ofcourse it will be slow.... stupid people

  • press hold power button and the decrease volume key

  • to take a screenshot you press the power on button and the volume down button at the same time, holding them down till it makes a very loud snap and youll see the screenshot being shrunk - there is an odd delay before it registers the frame you want so if you are working with a video then you need to start pressing the buttons about 2 seconds before the frame you want

  • I tried the screen shot but it's not working. I really need it badly....Please!!!

  • Can you please help me with how to take a screen shot??? looks like I have exhausted all means. There are some applications too that work with relatively low memory android phones as compared to mine but my S730M can't run such apps. eg: special font styles app.

  • I paid 30$ for it and another 35$ to get it unlocked.For less than 70$,as a pay as you go phone it's decent.Its a basic cheap smartphone.As for battery life,yes it does discharge fairly quickly but I just turn all the settings down n it's fine.You get what you pay for so people should do their research before buying something.I knew what I was getting with this phone because I did some checking and knew the phones limitations.Im happy with it.You want all the bells n whistles,go spend 300$.People are so spoiled these days!

  • There is no `my Files`! We cant send files!

  • Hate it overpower help me out here need a site to find info on rooting this phone facebook gavin from clovis ca. Im the only one that will show up friend request me

  • This phone is no good is slow it lags a lot it freezes it as no mobile data. Apps cannot move to sd card it Sucks!!

  • I like this phone, great bargain. To take a screen shot press vol- & power will store in gallery. Save batt power goto settings display brightness(set to 20%) most of batt is from display/music/video/speaker.Get the 2.9.201.1018 driver for usb,the default MTP one doesn't let you see the files.Got alot of HD space to use which is awsome I have downloaded other apps to view different video file types. Many newer games will run well, I decided on this phone because of the good specs and my tablet runs android(ics). Find a small mobile repair shop see if they got batteries buy one and throw it in your bag because battery life on this device isn't great.

  • This thing is crap. The screen stops working. It's super slow and apps keep crashing. As always I use my APPLE to Google what's wrong with this piece of garbage

  • My 1st smart phone. I love it! Price was affordable, and it does what I need it to. I don't spend my whole life on the phone. I have a computer.

  • This phone is crap. Keeps freezing all the time, it's slow and useless. Don't waste your money.

  • I'm having the same issues as many others here. The apps stop working frequently and even when they do work, they're glitchy. The apps change position on the home screen all the time and reception is crap. Also, the GPS shows that I live in Louisiana but I live in northeast Georgia. Even calling my provider couldn't figure out why. In all the only thing this phone is good for is the occasional phone call. Rating it a zero would be a compliment.

  • This phone was the worst phone ever made. It was slow as hell. I would literally take about a minute and half to open any app. It would also make me miss phone calls. The battery life aND camera sucked. And forget about the alarm clock. It goes off a couple minutes after when it's supposed to.

  • I love this phone, great combo of affordability and functionality, can do most things other Galaxy phones can do, but at a fraction of the cost.

  • one of the best Samsung phones on the /market

  • This phone isabsouluye trash ! Apps are never responding and batterylife sucks. The only thing good about this phonr is playstore.

  • Its slow and I always have "low storage" it doesn't even have a camera. I seriously just want a front camra

  • This is easily the worst and slowest phone I've ever used. Giving it a rating at 0/5 stars is too much for this pile of garbage. At the very best an app or page will load in about 3 minutes (don't be suprised if it takes up to 10.) I would rather have no phone at all than this. The only upside to this phone is it has some good apps but other than that it is so bad that it is almost funny.

  • hi my liking phone its nice thankyou ok.

  • As with any ion battery you should follow these steps. 1) When you first get your phone , don't turn it on. 2) Insert the battery , and with the phone off , plug in the charger. 3) fully charged , turn the phone on and use it as normal. 4) For this first time , run the battery down completely. 5) turn the phone off (no charge maybe its already off) again completely charge your phone. 6) once charged , turn on the phone and use as normal. 7) Each night attach your charger and charge with the phone on. All the above trains the battery to not lose its charge. Once in awhile (perhaps each month or so) follow these steps as if the battery was new. I do this with every ion battery and have never had a problem. This phone included.

  • freezes too much and battery life too short

  • i like it and very happy with it

  • GPS not working downtown isn't a surprise at all. GPS requires line of sight view of a good chunk of the sky, so it can "see" the GPS satellites. If it can't see enough of them, then it won't work. Tall buildings, like you see in most downtowns, will block that view, making GPS less reliable, not more so. GPS works best out in the open, in the middle of nowhere.

  • Over 8 months now only caps one bar....sometimes two..lost lots of call...night text from daytime incomming...hihihoh. not good 2/10 1 rate for phone and sms....But. google play....wow.......ok bugs sometimes ......ram cleaning problem a little Run botter then losts of my friend gamers tablet though seems faster to load...exmpl: homerunbattels 2-3D....Gt racing app almost 1G. And works great 95% o.t. time. I stop all apps before and start Game with "Cleanmaster game folder (Game Booster cm folder) lot of hour of fun gamming...i even spent a couppl googleplay gilf card 15&25$...WOW 35$ AND NO BAR TAB OR HANGOVER...CHEAP HOBBY... SEE YA ALL. Thx samsuns great devises.

  • i dont even know where the contact is

  • Then why did you buy 3

  • Is that sarcasm?

  • This is Samsung's unltimate fail!!! Every 70 sec almost every app stops responding; facebook, google chrome, google+, calander, clock, processing, & youtube. I then have to wait for each one to respond again to close it AGAIN (what good it does since 70 sec later it all stops responding AGAIN! The thing won't make a sound either unless headphones are plugged in.

  • This phone sucks! It is so glitchy and hard to work. My old slide phone was more reliable. it is hard to find what u r looking for to fix settings and u can't even find how to do stuff in the manual. This is also not coming from a 15 year old girl... We live off our phones. My friends and I have spent hours trying to work this piece of junk

  • Nothing wrong with the phone Ihave had 6 of them

  • have had the phone since end of december 2013. Yes..battery life is much shorter than expected but am getting at least 24-26 hrs. Have had is freeze up a few times, but this happens on my home computer as well. This is my first "smart"phone and for $70cdn it suits the purpose I bought it for...texting coworkers/vendors and emergency situationss while I am on the road

  • This is the third samsumng discover and is a waste of money. Always frezes, conect and disconnect wifi. Drop phone calls, etc etc. Would never buy another dicover

  • better than virgin mobile

  • overall an ok phone my only concern is the batteries for these phones died too fast. they should be made with longer staying power. I am charging this phone every day unlike my other phone. with all the new features and running apps these batteries should have been made to sustain these operations.

  • Don't have a problem had phone 5 months works good Google play

  • worst phone i've ever had so slow does whatever it wants dont waste your money on this

  • I am very new using any type of cell phone but there seems no easy way to use this. It is a waste of my children's money to buy it for me. I need to get a very simple cell phone. Send me an idea with easy instructions.

  • This is definitely the worst phone I have ever had. It has the worst battery life, GPS doesn't work 95% of the time (even in downtown). It is extremely slow as well. Do not waste any money for this phone.

  • the best

  • Worst phone ever do not get it always freezes up wifi always connect without your permission there's always something going on with it it's a bogus phone

  • please why no flash light and radio(FM)

  • hey, can you please tell me how you modded this phone? i've been searching the internet but i just can seem to find anything on this phone.

  • overclocked it to 1ghz now I can play chaos rings 2. Good phone if you know how to mod it

  • I don't like it because I had it for a few months an it been messing up all the time I triend hard resting it an now its not turning on or nothing

  • Why don't the galaxy discover let you talk for more than 4 hours???

  • No, little one - the fault lies in your lack of ability to communicate skillfully in english.

  • have been using this as a back up for a while, it doesn't have the fast specs and performance as others but at 70$ it is a great first phone and back up that will do all the basics fairly well. the only issue is battery life, the most you will get out of this device is 4-5 hours even with light usage.

  • Fantastic $49.00 2nd phone, emergency phone for the glove box or employee hand out phone. This is the phone I take with me if there is a chance of me damaging or loosing my good phone. Its also its a good 1st phone for your 12 year old, it has a-gps so you can locate them. I have modded the phone with: NEXT Launcher Full, TEAM Battery Bar Pro, DIGI Clock Plus Full, Memory Booster Full, AdBlock Plus, MBAM, and a whole bunch of others. The phone was not meant to run all this and lags a bit, that's where the mem booster helps. Rooted, SIM Unlocked, Stock ROM. I have no battery problems. It has a 1300mAh battery, if you are listening to mp3's, have the wifi on and surfing the net, sending some texts and then gaming with the screen on full bright the whole time you can expect 3½-4 Hrs of battery life.

  • OK standby - 2nd phone for $49.00 CDN. Good for the glove-box, co-workers going out in the field and taking a company phone, going some place where you might damage/loose your good phone. I've put in the NEXT Launcher, TEAM Battery Bar, DIGI Clock Plus, Memory Booster Full Version and a whole host of others, this runs them all fine, it lags a little but mem booster helps with that issue. SIM Unlocked and Rooted. Battery life is fine, its ONLY 1300mAh, what do you expect with something that small. Run the phone as a MP3 player and go on WIFI, do some texting as well,,,3.5 Hrs at most.

  • Back in August a D Hurst wrote about the Samsung Discover and was clearly upset with its performance. My experience has been almost exactly like his. I bought mine in August from Future Shop. I wanted to give it chance so I didnt rush back to the shop. This phone is absolutely useless. From day one it has let me down. I have tried every combination of circumstances. You name it, I've tried it.No apps, battery savers, airplane mode on, wifi off, bluetooth off, sync off, take the battery out, put it back. I've been there. Read kilometers of reviews and blogs.Talked to Future Shop. Forget that.Dont ever even look at this phone unless of course you want to give it to a two year old baby to play with and pretend she has a phone. Its performance reminds me of that scene in the movies where the police tell the prisoner he can make one call. I make one call and the battery starts to drain and an hour or two later it has gone down to 30% from 97% And thats with the phone shut down completely.USELESS, Did I mention I didnt like it?

  • Why there's no flash????

  • Super cheap phone that basically does what you expect. Is it fast? No. Does it run Jelly bean? No. Is the screen very good? No? It's a step down from my dead Nexus S, but for $100 who cares? If you need a replacement phone for Telus this is it - dirt cheap and works fine.

  • Im hate this phone sooooo much its horrible it requires a email address for everything then you cant un sync it once you register it unless you restore to factory settings also it stores all your contacts an personal info into your email making it so easy for hackers to obtain your previous locations and all stored info. 50% of downloads are unsecessful please please dont buy this phone save your money

  • I believe blackberry does I Miss My Bb....dropped It One Too Many Times So I Am With This lil guy def has battery issues and yes it Gets Too Warm On The Ear And Aftr Charging Dont Ask Me Why Mh Key board Is Putting Caps On Every Word Either. I Would Like To Know More About The Magically Running Google Apps That Def Dont Need To Be In The Back Ground Simply Bc I Am Making A Call. And I Also dont Want My Gmail Calendar Syncd To My telephone Calendar It Keeps Everything Up N Running And Practically Global As Far As Privacy. Any Tips On How To Separate These Things And Turn Off The apps In The Background Pls

  • where is lED flash? does it suport games? reply soon?

  • i think that u don't know how use a phone atfirst whatever u want u write bt don't think...... if it's the problem of battery then buy sumsung E2202. it has a good battery backup...

  • I think that it's not the fault of the cellphone, the fault is in u...... u know how to handle the phone at first..............

  • I bought this phone back in June or July for around 70 bucks CND its been a great phone for me, the only complaint i had was the camera was crap but i downloaded the cyrema app and its awesome! its my only phone and i use it ALOT for talking and texting as well as wifi I always have service and its clear no issues or complains from me. the battery holds a good charge for me, I always charge my phone when its off and i charge it only till its completely charged, leaving it plugged in when its not needed ruins your battery as does charging it while its turned on. Great phone IMO

  • i know right it never turns on for me either for some reason it shuts down and then it never turns back on!?

  • I've read a lot of reviews about this phone and despite many people having battery heating and short life problems, at $70.00 CDN I felt is was worth the risk and bought one. I here to say that I'm very glad that I did because this phone is great for the price. My advice is to anyone thinking of buying this phone is to READ ALL THE POSTS. Time spend researching is never time wasted! I followed the advice of many who have posted that you need to initially charge this phone while it is still turned off. FIGHT THE URGE TO TURN THE PHONE ON WHEN YOU BUY IT.

  • It is rec to remove the battery cover when charging to reduce heat.

  • Great for cheap price ,you dont get better phone in this price like $69+ tax

  • i have had almost the exact same experience and have the same feelings. they take my money and every corporation passes the buck and has ignored me. i have purchased this phone for my parents for emergency calls and they have never been able to use it. the only "suggestion" i got was, we know this is a bad phone and everyone complains about the battery - samsung warranty does not cover battery, i'd suggest buying a new phone. -20 karma points for samsung. they should be ashamed.

  • Shitty phone. It's constantly crashing, screen won't turn on half the time and can barely pick up wifi from across my house. I wouldn't recommend it

  • Thank you so much for your advice i will try it and see if it will work,

  • great

  • Hey Just got off the phone with Samsung tech support. Their advice Do not keep any apps on the home screen - swipe them away - also do not charge for more than 3-4 hours...I'll let you know...if this won't work they can shove this phone

  • where is the led flash lol read the specs lol thats funny still yet to find it

  • I recently bought Samsung Galaxy discover. Can anyone please inform how to set SPEED DIALING ?

  • Got mine for Buck but for some reason they won't download application help!!!!!!

  • I went looking in several dollar stores, found a screen protector for an S3, just had to carefully cut a bit of length from the cover.

  • Initially the default driver only let's you copy some media types to the phone, which was disappointing until I got a newer release of the MTP driver then it worked. I was swapping the sd card between the phone and tablet constantly before this :/

  • Yes, there is an indicator icon smiley as you should see at the top of the screen on a missed text msg/call that remains there, but unfortunately no beep/mp3 reminder to configure. I looked into an app to resolve the reminder issue for android os, and there are many out there like lightflow app. Only thing is the led light portion in the app does not apply to this phone, since it does not have one.

  • Wow sorry to hear that sir. These big companies nowadays care about nothing more than money, once they take yours you'll never see it again unless you're still able to return it. If the date passed then forget it. I just returned mine, getting rid of that piece of trouble. If you only need to talk to your Mother, why don't you just buy a reliable "Dumb"phone. Less worry about battery and drops. Good luck with that troublesome thing though.

  • I bought the Samsung Galaxy Discover phone on June 24 or 25 2013 and since that time I have had nothing but, trouble with keeping a charge! I charge the phone to 100% and leave the phone of and my battery is drained. I leave it on and within a 30min to hours time my battery is drained 30 to 40 %. I talked to the store where I have bought the phone and I have been treated like garbage and my complaint is a lie to them. Finally one of the store managers goes on the net and tells me that this type of phone has a flaw in it's design. I was giving another phone and it does the same thing. I called samsung and I was treated horribly to where the customer service rep hung up on me. I asked samsung for help and was given nothing. I asked for Head Office and was not given the info. I asked the rep for his name and he said Tim. I asked his last name he refused to give it and refused to give me his employee number. How can a company sell a phone with this problem? Why do people who work for samsung or my provider treat me like I am dirt? I pay as you go and because of this, I am not entitled to a lender phone. My money was easy to take, but to get help and compensated for all the stress and problems is unavailabel. I bought this phone because, I have a heart condition and to be able to speak with my precious mother everyday. I have to always find a place to charge my phone because it drains very fast no matter what! The rep from samsung refused to give me head office info or anyone in a higher position than him. This is morally repugnant!

  • I'm not kosmos but I can help with "Factory Reset" The factory reset reverts your phone back to like when you first bought it (Erases all your data) You can do this by going to the Settings App. Then "Backup & Restore" > Then choose the last option. I don't remember exactly what it's called (Something along the lines of Erase Everything, Reset Phone, or Factory Data Reset) Select that and follow the prompts. Personally, when it finishes I like to go to the recovery and choose "Wipe Data/Cache" as well. Hope this clears up some stuff. And to the other Anonymous I think I will follow his guide and return mine. The battery goes down 1% per minute lol. So thanks for the suggestion.

  • would you please advise what does it mean by saying "factory reset" ? Thank you!

  • The phone needs to be power off and not standby. I have no data plan and wifi and gps are turned off. Most of the time I can go for standby for days without a recharge. But once a while it will discharge overnight. I still trying to figure out exactly what is wrong with it. The best way to to keep an eye on it. After you fully charge the phone, turn it on and wait for an hour or so. Check the battery drain meter. It should be pretty flat. (Assuming data is off, wifi is off, bluetooth is off and gps is off.) If it still show a fast drain, turn the phone off for a min then turn it back on and check on it after an hour. Usually that fix it. If you suspect you have a battery drain problem, return the phone if you can. It is not worth the trouble. A phone should be a reliable and predictable piece of equipment. Good luck.

  • Notice that with these phones u cannot put your phone contract down

  • Excuse me sir, but when you mean "Phone Off" do you mean that the phone is "Powered Off" (When you turn it on it goes through the boot sequence) or when the phone is just in standby (Just the screen is off and it turns on as soon as you press the button)? Some clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Does it has led flash for when you get a notification ?

  • can play youtube or not?

  • is this phone suported live streaming?

  • not yet in yhe phil..

  • nice phone

  • is this phone available in the philippines?

  • is this available in the philippines?

  • This is for people who have battery problem with this phone. If you leave the phone on, plug in the charger and turn the phone off. Unplug the charger cable when it shows full but leave the phone off. You will notice that the phone is warm for hours and when you turn it on afterward, the battery is drained. This is a flaw in the design. Normally the charger charges the battery and powers the phone. But when the phone is turned off. Some circuit in the phone is still enabled. Even if you unplug the charger afterward. This drains the battery. The only way to clear it is to turn the phone on and off. It has some kind of power latch up condition. If you are going to charge the phone, turn the phone off, then plug in the charge cable. Don't turn on the phone until charging is done. If you want to use it before it is fully charge, unplug the charger then turn it on.

  • 440 hours standby time my @$$.. i take this phone off the charger when i wake up at 10:30 pm and by 4:30 am it says plug in your charger .. i have android assistant to auto kill apps that may open while in standby .. that didn't work so i rooted it to try to kill those pesky factory google apps that keep magically opening on their own .. still not any better .. this is with the mobile network turned off and basically nothing on the phone whatsoever .. says the majority of my battery usage is going to cell standby.. about to downgrade to an old phone here at the house that lasts for a couple days just so i can use it and not have to take my freakin charger to work with me

  • I found a say to fix the battery life, just factory reset it. Now I am getting 40hrs of stand by time. Still not long but it is much better.

  • Like many people I have trouble with the battery life. A full charge and on standby only last about 8hrs. Have to buy a portable charger to use it for a full day.

  • yes

  • I like this phone, great bargain. To take a screen shot press vol- & power will store in gallery. Save batt power goto settings display brightness(set to 20%) most of batt is from display/music/video/speaker.Get the 2.9.201.1018 driver for usb,the default MTP one doesn't let you see the files.Got alot of HD space to use which is awsome I have downloaded other apps to view different video file tpyes. Many newer games will run well, I decided on this phone because of the good specs and my tablet runs android(ics).

  • This phone is Junk! I purchased my phone in Feb 2013, since that time I have had nothing but trouble with the battery, I charge it 100% with the power off, leave it for 5 or 6 hours without turning it on, when I power up the battery is flat, or after a full charge without using the battery will loose 40% in 30 minutes, they have changed the battery but the results are the same.

  • just doing this model at work atm, i can safely for that even for a budget handset, your not getting alot for money. For some reason, its lacking many standard features of the android eco system. To name a few, cant view or change sms service number and also can not format the SD card. My personal opinion to any one wanting a budget Ice Cream Sandwich phone would be NOT to get this but to get something like the HTC desire C

The only issue I started getting with GIO is my texts wouldn't go through all the time, I had to remove the battery, re-install it, then turn the phone back on, this happens at least once or twice aday.

  • Hi I have this phone and it's good as it has a fairly large internal memory for a prepaid (4GB minus almost 2 GB for the OS and preloaded apps). Apps can't be loaded or moved to SD card, only photos, music etc. I find the sound very poor, and Skype works very poorly - when load Skype, it says it may not work properly. But then phone is new, and maybe Skype will upgrade to be used with this version of ICS.

  • Samsung Galaxy Discover is almost a great featured, BUDGET smart phone comes with an unbelievable price. 800MHz Cortex A5 processor**, 512MB RAM, LED flash, 165ppi 3.5 inch display, 4GB internal memory. And I think those are exceptional features for a low-end smart phone and overall its a great phone. And comparing with the price, Discover is better than Ace(same features except hi perform-able chip-set, low RAM & cam.).
