  • HEY!!!!, the acelerometer do not work with the screen off!

  • I"m using a Galaxy Exhibit T599, i flash it using odin and from then i"m not able to access my internal memory. The device shows the memory as 0.00b

  • there are cases for the galaxy exhibit phone. sold at metro pcs store. it has the rubber case with a plastic one that goes over it.

  • i dont get you! what do you mean?

  • They have cases I have one I bought it at that phone place that replaced all the revol stores

  • Is there a way to make the phone turn on even when it won't when you hard reset it? It's fully charged and won't work. I did what some videos say to do but won't work.

  • how can I solve sim network unlock pin

  • look on ebay - they have cases for this phone

  • My phone hasent anymore kontakts how cann i get them back?

  • Edge..3g is not runing. Plz help..tell me the exactly custom roam software.Because there's no file at internet.

  • Cheap phone, low memory and you can't transfer all files to a micro sd. On the good side this is a durable phone which is great because there aren't any cases for this phone. I've dropped it so many times, the only real damage I've done was drop it on concrete and it only got a tiny barely visible scratch. Gets the work done by being a smart phone but doesn't outperform much.

  • In Samsung Galaxy Exhibit SGH-T599, how can I used 3G internet from Ghana.??? Now,I am using EDGE, it's boring. Is this possible to use 3G in Ghana,however it's 4G mobile??? Please inform me in- [email protected]

  • Your phone is in driving mode - I have the same phone and it happpens albeit seldom. Here is the solution: go to settings- language and input- txt to speech output- driving mode- uncheck driving mode if checked- problem solved!

  • I have had this phone for a year and a half, and it is garbage. The user of the phone only gets about 900 MB of storage to themselves. The back was scratched up within a month. The screen is easily chiped and scratched. The camera lens is made of plastic, so it is now covered in scratches. The bluetooth, mobile hotspot, and a few other features dont work anymore. It goes into bootloop by itself(no custom rom). It will restart randomly. There is a darker spot in the middle of the screen. The touches are not very accurate. It lags like nothing else(my hp laptop from 1999 runs faster). This is a great first phone, but it is so out dated that it simply cant stand up to modern phone standards.

  • I just had an old one enabled on my plan because my other phone died, it is using my 32gb SD card just fine. But still, this is only temp. A good little phone, I'll keep it for a backup.

  • I had the phone since new, It great pictures quality and video quality. Don't have problem with calls dropping hardly ever. My only problem it does not read my Micro SD 32gb I was told later that the max is 16gb. I feel is hard to hear sometimes earn could have been better. overall for the money this phone has been great to me. I actually still have it and fgoing to try a 16gb memory. I'm shopping for a new phone now.

  • Phone is excellent in everyway the one that posted before must have. A. Bad Phone I can say its been a great phone

  • awesone phone

  • Calls drop. Can't voice text more than 6 words and it stops transcribing. During conversation, the phone is beeping & clicking, then miscellaneous numbers appear on the screen, and all of a sudden the call is dropped. Constantly getting messages that Google cannot to something or other. IT IS THE WORST. I should have kept my flip phone!!!! All I want is something simple but workable!!!! CANNOT RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE.

  • I love this phone but only one problem. It has low internal storage and I can't move my apps to the SD card. I wish there was a way

  • I HATE this phone. The touch screen is horrible. I have to press certain areas on the phone very hard for it to accept my command. Other times, like if I am on a phone call, the call is disconnected because my earring ends the call or selects an auto prompt. I now have a NEW problem. The phone ( even when its on vibrate only) will announce that I have a text or email from so and so. I have tried endlessly to figure out why this is happening. It was not doing this and it started up one day after I charged the phone. MY PHONE IS A HUGE PEICE OF JUNK!!!!!!!! wouldn't give it away to my worst enemy !!!!!

  • Every time I try to access Instagram via Twitter I get the "Choose Application" and every time I choose "Always" it gives me a message to reset my default in application manager> all. I have done this a hundred times! still the same message. Also when I go to each application and check the defaults it says "no defaults for this application" and the button next to it is disabled. Any ideas? I've tried everything.

  • I've had this phone for about 2 years now and i can say I really like it . It's a really great phone if the internal memory was larger then i would probably use it for as long as possible . I got kind of mad when i turned it on and found out that my memory was 1.34 gb . I wouldn't recommend it to someone who wants a lot of spaces to download lots of apps . I think it was meant to suite people who just use there phone to call and contact people on social media not for games .

  • Phone is quite good. Just need to "upgrade" its software to cyanogenmod (I can suggest CM11) and a partitioned external sd card with Link2SD app to put all your apps there. Done :) !

  • The internet it's always on edge/2G. I don't think this phone can ever use 3G/HSDP and I want to upgrade to 4.2.2. How can I go about it.

  • I like the phone but I want to change version from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2, how can I do it? (2) I really like the phone but the internet is 2G very very poor how can I do it? (3) Samsung galaxy pls help me and other

  • My phone is always saying that I don't have enough memory. It's super annoying and always lagging

  • my phones wifi stays stuck on wifi turn on but it wont turn on

  • I like the phone but I want to change the version from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2,how can I do it?

  • Internal memory space is limited. The only space for any app is Facebook. I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone.

  • The MAJOR problem with this phone is the hole where your voice goes through. It is EXTREMELY small, and it is prone to getting dust, sweat and other things trapped in it that blocks the whole, requiring the user to either yell at people to be heard on the other end of a call. If anyone has an answer to this could you please e-mail me at [email protected] . I really need some help I am at a point where I need to take the phone apart, bore the voice hole wider than it is so people can hear me. If you know a better way please let me know. Thanks...

  • Phone is good and all but it has two problems> 1. Almost no internal memory!!!!! 2.No way to connect to the SD card what so ever!!! fix these problems and you got the best phone ever!!

  • I'm having same problem too.

  • I really like this phone, but in answer to the question about moving Apps to the (micro)SD card, Samsung tech support confirms that with this version of the operating system, Apps must stay on the phone's (4gb) memory. You can set the default location for camera/video files you create to the external memory, which will help avoid filling up the phone's memory. Serious "gamers" may be unable to download some of their Apps.

  • Make sure you have your APN settings correct for your carrier. GOOGLE THAT.

  • Touch phone, although almost NO spare memory unrooted / with bloatware. Very tough, as I threw it as hard as I could straight down at concrete, but only cracked the screen, didn't hurt the computer.

  • I love it it is just like the s3 just not the same space and no radio but still a great phone

  • U need to root ur device. If u are not familiar with doing that pay someone professional because u can ruin the phone.

  • how can i flash it? network is not work on it.

  • It's pretty good, but please flash cyanogenmod as soon as possible.

  • my phones charging port was never working right

  • my phones charging port was never working right

  • It's a pretty good phone. If it is turning on and working on it's own, you might want to check your apps and the permissions you've give apps to be able to do things remotely.

  • I have the same issue with my phone.

  • the only problems i have is the battery life span, storage, it way too small and it always updating

  • I have this phone and ever since the third week I've had it, sometimes the camera turns on all by itself, and the keyboard will sometimes start picking through my messages and open them and call people without me even touching the key pad. The other day I was getting ready for work and my phone started calling a couple of my friends. It's super glitchy. Does this happen to anyone else?

  • ihave been using this phone for the past 9 months and its a great experience but my problem is that it has short battery life span.

  • Been using this phone for 6 months... The first time I used this phone, it was okay... But, sometimes it hangs. I also have a problem with the battery life and the Internal memory... There was this time that I was waiting for a call but it never came, only to find out that I have no signal, even though the signal at our place is strong...

  • Did you connect your phone to a google account? You can try to install a launcher through the google play store on your computer.

  • I accidentally deleted all of the launcher on this phone and now the device won't boot up how do I fix this problem??? P.s. If you have an answer please email me:[email protected]

  • I have Galaxy exhibit T599.... I do not know if I can I use in europe

  • In order to move info to sd card you must click on file manager icon. you will see two different sections sd file and internal. select internal and choose all files you wish to move, click menu, choose "move to" and select sd file, click menu again and choose "move here" all files selected will move to sd card

  • is there anyway to transfer apps from the internal mem to mem card?

  • Its not the phone that is crappy. It's your Internet service. -_-#

  • This is the worst phone I have ever had. It is slow as hell and never do you get any reception good enough to get any games or downloads. I had a gentleman who got me a phone with only wi-fi and I was able to download more than this piece of shit phone.

  • A smartphone is pretty much a portable computer so processes are running even when your not "using" it ... battery life is nothing compared to the old school phones but vice versa the older phones couldnt handle what newer ones do . I remember the days of once a week charging lol

  • sorry, I meant the ones that are small suck and lack features.

  • without some way of being able to kill the touchwiz launcher, adding another launcher to the phne will make it lag even more because it will use extra ram, because touchwiz will still be running in the background just incase the installed launcher crashes. Then there's the issue of space, some launchers are huge but good, the ones that are good suck and lack features and can be frustrating to use.

  • That's incorrect, the phone is Edge-4G capable, it's not 4GLTE Capable, the samasung website does not say that.

  • no it cannot, it does not have enough internal storage to do that

  • The specs are wrong this phone has 4G LTE, check the samsung web page.

  • can this phone play grand theft auto san andreas?

  • First time I have a Smartphone, please guide me. I have a new Galaxy Exhibit T599 and I changing battery to 100 % overnight. I start using it at 6 am, for 7 PM battery is dead. Is this normal? Battery specification mention "Up to 9 hrs of Talking Time" and "Up to 10 days - Battery Standby". I am sure I am not talking or using the phone 9 constant hours. Should I ask for battery replacement? Phone replacement? Or it is normal? my last traditional cell phone was charged every 4 days.

  • I finally got the handset on the family mobile version. It also works on tmobile and is a blast to use. It does not have all the features that galaxy sII has but that is ok. This handset has the best battery life on a android phone I have ever used. I just unplug the charger and it goes all day long. I am using it now because my bell sII relocked when I updated the software.

  • can't play any video's on it! I could with a Huawei M835. I'm lost...

  • Try Using Task Force Killer On Your Device

  • Pls my 3G iS not working.......

  • Hi, My phone is getting lot of rams for usage. i had seen Ur suggestion on this phone. I want to know how to change the touch wiz launcher. please tell me a suitable launcher which absorbs less RAM. Thanks.

  • First you're gonna want to change the launcher off of touchwiz, because touchwiz's ram usage will make the phone lag. If you want to play large games on this device rooting would be a good idea because it doesnt have native support for apps to sd. You get a gigabyte and some change out the box. Unless your outside between the hours of 8-5 the flash should be on on all pictures you take, good lighting makes the photos look more than decent. Most apps and games run well, and flash can be side loaded onto the device, however most flash video can be played through google chrome. All things considered with maybe an hour of setup the phone will last a long time.

  • I'm a little disappointed. Let me clarify: This is the best smartphone I have owned. It is not high end but it is a solid design and I have had no issues with the phone itself whatsoever. Unfortunately it does lack the option to move apps to the micro sd card. This makes the SD card pretty much only useful for taking lots of pictures. It also makes the phone itself a little handicapped. Due to bloatware, You maybe have a gig of internal memory to host your apps. I say maybe because each app updates and requires more and more space with each update. Rumor is that ALL galaxy phones do not allow apps to be moved to the sd card. That means that only the S3 or S4 would be worth it because they provide a high amount of internal memory. I am looking into rooting the phone. This appears to be the only way to solve the handicapping. Hopefully i can uninstall some of the bloatware and/or get the ability to move apps to sd card functionality with the root.

  • I too have T599 only and I am using with standard sim card only.

  • Mine takes the standard sized SIM cards and microSD memory cards. Are you sure that you have a T599?

  • The built in WiFi Hotspot doesn't work, but FoxFi works fine.

  • Nice phone in all respects, if you're not into having the most recent, latest and greatest. My only issue is that if you are on Family Mobile, the WiFi Hotspot is not available. I have a Samsung Dart on Family Mobile and the Hotspot is available. There is no indication if your phone's WiFi Hotspot will work or not, you have to try using it. Either it will work or you will receive an "Add Services" screen.

  • I bought this phone ans im having problems with the camera system...it does take the pisture but when u go to galery iy doesnt come out no picture..only on black...can anyone help me plzz n thx

  • Hi,can anyone please help me. I can't put any message alert tone on my phone without the vibrate. I want to discard the vibration, but the sound also turns off. I want to have a sound but no vibration.

  • go to your settings,open screen and there you will see brightness and then chose your brightness.

  • Just got mine for 78 dollars. It beats I phone and I was loyal to iPhones since first gen!

  • when I turned it on after I had it for awhile it wasn't very bright is there a way I can turn the brightness up

  • This is my first smartphone, it's fast, takes good photos, wifi, bluetooth, «SoundAlive it's the best» before I bought it, l had a Sony Ericsson W395i the one that has two speakers with radio fm. Well this phone just needs radio fm and it'll be perfect. Well... this model it's pretty good and cheap. I got it for 99$ at a metropcs store and as you know, metropcs and and T-Mobile joined forces so the telephone switches between the networks when it's necessary. I think I got a good smartphone for just 99 dollars.

  • Have only had phone a few days like size and weight Memory is weak so will need additional card. My issue for my use is you cannot download movies from either flixster or ultraviolet The only thing you can do is stream then which obviously requires internet

  • Have one myself. True phone uses standard mini sim card not micro sim as stated in description specs

  • This model of SAM Exhibit T559 can avaliable in india????

  • The specs are not quite correct, based on my hands-on experience (I own one). The device accepts standard (mini) SIM cards, not micro. Also, the dual-band Wifi is not supported. Only the 2.4 GHz range works, so it's b/g/n, not a/b/g/n.

  • i like it but same price very high...

  • It is network for gsm mobiles provide by t-mobile

  • T-Mobile is a carrier aka network service provider in USA. Like Airtel in India.

  • what is T-Mobile any tell me

  • There is no auto brightness on this phone

  • use auto brightness....um sure it will help. :)

  • I'm new to this type of phone, I'm a senior citizen and have been using an 8 yr old phone. This was easy to learn and easy to use. The sound id also OK. The only prob is not being able to see the screen in the sunlight !

  • Went to T-Mobile today, saw it, only comes with 1.3Gb of useable memory. Which is wayyyyy to low even for a basic user. And only some apps can be put on the memory chip. It looks much better online than it does in person. I would prefer the S3 mini or even wait on the S4 mini

  • Go for nokia lumia 620

  • i agree and make it easier for seniors to use and upgrade the sound instead of something else on the phones that use don't use very often i got the new samt599 galaxy exhibit pebble phone yesterday and i can barely here it ring and it's up as high as it will go and i'm not hard of hearing. think people think of others

  • kenny is right look at s3 , so many versions and all the same!

  • you can add the second sim on the side of the phone.

  • Since it only comes with 4 gb internal memory, how much of it is actually usable? Can you also install apps to the external SD card? Trying to decide if I should get this or the Samsung Galaxy s3 Mini International version.

  • You can unlock it by contacting t-mobile if it is on an account. This phone is a downgrade compared to the blaze.

  • is it just launching phone every second that matters or giving the people what they want that matters? Because Samsung is just busy launching phone per second to the point that all phones are almost thesame. It is all about flooding the market with phones that matters, i think Samsung should sit down and think about what costumers want.

  • Many people are not new to Samsung nowadays whose good reputation at making good phones is now well beyond doubt. My only query remains in the styling department, there are so many of them Samsung smartphones, and they're all beginning to look so much alike, truly hard hard to set them apart in looks. Maybe it's high time now for some fresh new design.

  • I hope that tmobile sells this at Walmart. I like the phone and have been waiting for it since the rumors came out about it. I have a galaxy s blaze now as backup but am going to sell it overseas. I got it as a upgrade on my father's line for very little. Just wish I could legally unlock it in the states. Have to unlock it overseas when it leaves the country.

  • producing this phone is a good step for samsung.This will probably be far cheaper from other smartphones of samsung.It will hold a lot of customers.But the design of this phone is very odd.It could be more thinner & square shape.

  • yes it for tmo usa.its the 1st phone that i have been able to talk on and take pics at the same time.

  • good phone only it is single sim phone not double

  • every things is good but only its have single sim

  • Looks a lot like a combination of the S3 mini and the Galaxy Express early AT&T version.

  • This will be d best mid rang smartphone ever..I m eagerly waiting ì4 it..Whn it launch in india,.

  • For T-Mobile?

  • Too bad, this phone will be unavailable to some countries.
