Samsung Galaxy Gio S5660 - User Reviews

  • Oh my childhood i love this phone so much, so much nostalgia :)

  • This phone is LEGENDARY, One of the best Galaxy phone ever made! This is my childhood too, Gio is my best phone ever and i am will love Gio 😍

  • The best one I have ever used. Just sold it some months back because of less memory and some apps were not working.

  • It is still now (2018) in service. Very satified. I went with it on Mount Everest (base camp), the desserts in Namibia and central Australia. Very hot climate in Tanzania. Wet weather in the amazone: Ecuador, very cold in Ushuaia Argentina. It has falen 3 times on concrete floor: no problem. Very reliable. Can a new phone stand all this?

  • my first😍

  • first my Android phone :D

  • My first Smartphone ever. Used to really love it when I first got it. Then I sold it to get a Galaxy Tab Plus.

  • Why are you saying a crap 2011 budget phone should represent all of samsung's phones? That's just stupid.

  • How to Screen shot using this phone? please help

  • How can i restart my bluetooth because i nolonger functions and how can i change the storage directory because i want to download my games and it brings inussificient storage

  • it has been almost 6 years since i bought this phone. i dropped it a lot of times and it still works perfectly. i didnt browse or played games much on it though, just normal use. still has the same battery.

  • I too found this to be a horrible phone. I bought it as my first smart phone. From day one it barely functioned properly and now a few years later I decided to resurrect it after a year dormancy and tried to charge it via a normal wall charger. No go. Even tried to plug it into a computer and it still does not live. I honestly cannot recommend any Samsung phone to anyone. The batteries are each unique to each phone, they are not interchangeable. The phones, themselves are hiccuppy and barely work properly. For a while I was using my Gio as a dashcam and even that only worked for an hour at a time and then it died. I will never buy another SAMSUNG phone ever. I have even resurrected my old 10 and 15 year old Nokia phones and found they still work the way they were designed, without having to upgrade software every week.

  • Download Call Blocker from Google Play Store.

  • Press volume up and power button for 10 seconds.

  • Turn off your phone. Open Recovery mode (home button + power button 5-10 seconds), select "wipe data / factory reset" and select "Yes - Delete all user data", then select "reboot system now". (Downloaded apps, messages, contacts etc. will be deleted).

  • how do i open the phone if i forgot my pattern?

  • how do I download photo's on my phone Samsung gio galaxy ss660v I can't receive or send photo's from my phone

  • Because back in the day apps weren't as big and heavy as they are now. My first smartphone was a Gio and it worked pretty well. I had many apps installed and everything worked. But as phoned are getting better, apps are getting too. Which requires more memory. That's why you won't fit many apps on it anymore. Still though: my phone broke a while ago, and I had to use my old Gio. I had whatsapp installed and some other apps so when you are really only using it for the very basic stuff it's still enough :)

  • How do I make the screen active when freeze.

  • turn off your gt s5660 (samsung gio) then press power plus home then select wipe data/cache partion (select with volume buttons) then reboot your phone and its done REMEMBER!! this will erase your data,if you have no other option,this will do

  • how to open or restart my Samsung galaxy gio when forgeting my password

  • No possible way, yeah? Then do tell me: How'S this possible, that back in the day, when it came out, I bought the phone, and played up to 3 different games on it, one of them was Tap-Tap Revenge 4 (size: over 80Mb) and at the same time had installed Facebook app and still GIO did not crash? :) Suppose it was just a few good memories? ;)

  • I am not trying to set up my e-mail - it keeps coming up with an error message! " setup could not finish - activation failed. Unable to connect to network, try again with network provider's default APN" What am I doing wrong?

  • my verry first smart phone. Still working good n the camera is the best compared the rest on its price range. However, the small RAM is the problem :(. Still a good phone though (eventhough ther are not produced anymore, hahaha...) :D

  • U can root this phone & download an app called 'move app to sd card'..then you can move the downloaded apps. There are some videos available on youtube that will instruct u how to root this phone.

  • wll I'm using this phone till this day. It's pretty good :D

  • I found this ph next to worthless as the internal memory is so freaking small it won't allow you to download any additional apps Before the haters comment, i tried to install apps on this device straight after a clean install, hard reset, so it was brand new out of the box with NO downloads, and NO apps installed except what came with the device There's no point recommending this ph to anyone, even as a first basic smart ph as you can't download and use any apps........as soon as you upgrade your "market" app to Play Store, there's no more room for anything else....that's it, you're done, the ph is full......no games, no apps, no nothing A total waste of a device......I mean what on earth were Samsung thinking in manufacturing a ph with such abyssmal internal storage??....and by the way, there's no way to uninstall the apps that came with the ph unless you root it i guess

  • Had one great first phone.held up to being droped from a height (multiple times) and even being dropped into a canal. Low quality in most aspects and ge5s 'worn out' quickly so battery fades quicker Good first phone but no more than that

  • plz help me

  • The good: A cheap smart phone with wifi and gps. The bad: Low internal memory and low RAM. Other facts: Don't upgrade to Android 2.3.6! This version has a bug and the battery lasts just 1,5 days with light usage and no internet. I downgraded to Android 2.3.4 and average battery life is double - 3 days, including some email and weather. Low RAM - if you have more than one tab opened in the web browser, it will reload the web page every time you change tabs. It doesn't seem made for internet browsing. Low internal memory - you can only install a few apps (also, those which run in the background "as a service" such as Yahoo messenger can't be moved to SD card). Games I occasionally play are fluent - Angry birds, Angry piggy, Hill Climb, 2048, and the battery lasts about 3.5-4 hours. Audio is below average quality wise. The radio changes channels slow (I miss my SE W810). The only way to put a song as ringtone is via the default music player. The camera is OK in good light, video is poor. GPS is working good. Wifi hot spot is useful for my laptop. I didn't like the default keyboard so I bought Swift key. All in all, a decent phone for the price range with average battery life. I use it mainly as a basic phone plus some email, weather, dictionary, and occasionally as a book reader, GPS and maps for orientation in a foreign city, and games when I really get bored and it's good enough.

  • Yes just search BBM for ARMv6 device apk, find a file host site, and download and install the apk! Easy!

  • Try to format microSD card in the phone or computer.

  • I have that phone some months ago, and i was using it without many troubles, but now if i introduce the memory card inside they write a message that the memory card is empty whereas it is not, now i'm not using it. What can i do?

  • i bought my samsung galaxy gio here in new zealand and it worked here in there sim card..i will ask if i brought it in the philippines it will work with their local sim?if it is locked their in the sim here in NZ CAN I UNLOCKED IT IN THE PHILS?tanx i'll wait your reply

  • Let me know that its 3G is working or not ?

  • I have problems with my Samsung Gio's screen. First,it all started with "freezing" photos and video,then "lines" over the photos. I thought it's just a "virus" or something! I've downloaded a couple of anti-virus programs but all didn't work!!!! The next thing is the battery life doesn't last coupling with screen lagging. At the end,it all seized!! The screen now is totally blank and it doesn't recharge the battery anymore even it is new one!!! Please help me for some advise! Thanks.

  • you should use an app called "link2sd" which will help you install more apps on internal memory and the apps installed on internal memory can also be move to external SD, so its good in that matter, however the battery timing is poor..........

  • u can hard reset it but you'll lose ur files

  • sumsang must do something about their battery im not happy at all

  • switch off your mobile remove back cover and take batttery out and then reinsert it then hold volume down and power button together now ur in boot menu in there factory reset the phone by pressing power button

  • i locked my fon and fogot the pattern, ddnt change settings from the previous owner, is there any way i can disable the lock coz its asking for google login and i dnt know the previous owners email.... pliz help

  • the storage of 158 MB is really not enough. Most apps don't install on the SD card, so after you upgrade all the existing apps, there's litteraly no space left for installing any more! After using it for 2,5 years, that's the only reason I have for looking for another phone right now!

  • poor battry

  • nice mobile

  • Yes Mr. Musalad , your opinion is 100% true.

  • Poor battery

  • it's best......

  • A very good low-end Android phone for a reasonable price. My only problem was that, it has tiny internal memory, and no official Jelly Bean upgrade.

  • just as your one year guarantee expires the phone does the same. battery power on these and similar Samsung phones caused the same experience. difficulty, actually impossible to access apps. to get in on wireless even if you are sitting next to it doesn't even help. in other words no software updates as well.

  • hello. i bought it yesterday in 2.000 birr(around usd 200) but after filling the battery,the result was not good.another filling last night,it is better now.simply i facwd poor battery quality,please compensate me. thanks.

  • Good phone with good design ... I have rooted this phone ,installed CWM recovery ,flashed 4.2.2 Cyanogenmod 10.1 Rom and overcloacked CPU to 883mhz and reomved Playstore app ... the result is great for me and everything u could think about it is working without any problems and batter life in good Thanks developers u are making Android better

  • it iz a nice phone but i hv 2 download thingz like OPERA Mini...which shud hv came wth the phone

  • How to use blutooth ear fone

  • it is good really its usage and its sevrice i apreciated but there is little problem of charging so my i post my claim here is it allowed

  • Internal memory very low... Nd camra is going to bad quality

  • Internal memory very low... Nd camra is going to bad quality

  • is the Samsung Gio 5660 BIS (BBM) compatible?

  • I have been using this phone for about 2 years now. It worked fine for a year but lately it has gone to shit. The battery is really bad. It can last for 21 hours if I don't use my phone for any apps or anything. It randomly shuts down during phone calls and I have to keep recharging it constantly. I guess I'm really old fashioned when it comes to fancy phones but I would really like a phone that I can use for more than just few years. Taking pictures, listening to music and having cool apps is nice but I would rather have a phone that works. 7/10, going back to my Nokia 3310.

  • Hi Mags, on GSMArena, under the picture of the Galaxy Gio, is a list of links to helpful things about the device. Right at the bottom of that list, click Manual, which will redirect you to the Manufacturer's webpage for that device, with a download link for the Manual.

  • I have been given a Gio and there are no detailed instructions. I am of the older generation so working this phone hasn't come 'naturally'and full instructions would certainly help. It's a bit arrogant of the company to assume 'everyone knows' At least put them on line so we can understand how to operate the phone!

  • go to app store and write over there whatsapp after search click on install

  • How do I download whatsapp this phone?

  • i have one and it works perfectly whit cyanogenmod 10.1 and it run smoothly its simply perfect

  • You're turning me on talking like that! Lmao wish I knew how to squeeze every ounce v potential like you!!

  • The battery is poor and there isn't enough RAM but otherwise this phone is decent

  • thank for all for your comment.. you all had help me to unlock my phone... thank you very much... thanks God too...

  • My battery is poor

  • nice phone

  • btry is poor

  • hey guys it is very slow cellphone sometimes it hangs

  • while the phone is off press and hold the center button and switching button simultaneously until a Samsung logo appears the choose wipe option but i will clean all the data from the phone anyway your phone will work again

  • Im sathesh,I am using this phone till sim months. at the first month it would be very much prefer for me but after some times later its really sukz. net speed is really slow when im going to browse something i would be irritated. ant the biggest issue is there is no multi task function. it would be very bad. perphs it won't get the toch input. GOd!!! im suck with this !!!

  • I traded my blackberry 9300 for the Samsung Galaxy Gio and i haven't had any issues apart from the short batery life. But this is because it is a used phone. after a while i rooted my Gio to cyanogenmod 10.1, and i love this phone even more. This is not the ideal phone for people installing lots of apps due to the small internal storage size. There are some software where you can move your apps to the sd card. Overall if i could rate this phone i would give it 8/10. Also i am clumsy some times and i have dropped my phone probably a 100 times. and all i can see is maybe a few scratch marks on the body.

  • My s3 died on me recently so I've been forced to use this. Rooted it, installed CM 10.1(Jelly Bean), froze bloatware using Titanium backup, and over clocked the CPU. Runs like a dream except for occasional lag and internal storage issues. (Link2SD solves that problem) I'm actually impressed by this thing's performance. Definitely worthwhile if you know how to squeeze every ounce of its potential out.

  • Have been using this device for about a year and a half and I have to get rid of this crap! Battery life suxs like f*** and camera is crap. It was all fine the first Month but then it started lagging and did not respond to my touch... Looking for a cheap android phone? Look elsewhere

  • The kid is a hero. Have had it for two long years and it runs beautifully. Traded the stock ROM for Cyanogen 7.2 and it gave the phone a new breath of life (don't try anything higher than Android 2.3.7 for anything other than kicks or bragging rights, the processor isn't up to the task). On low powered networks it drains the battery rather quickly, but where coverage is good, it runs the whole day on half a battery (I used to live in Brazil, now I live in Estonia, extremely different approaches to telco). I'm only trading up because Google left the people on Android 2.3 behind, most 3rd party apps work fine, but Google's are no longer updating and most new functions are reserved to newer devices. Shame on you, Google!

  • The battery is very poor and have not free gps

  • i ve samsung galaxy gio for sel. its sti vry neat email on [email protected] if u are interested

  • The battery is poor. Have to charge it twice a day (day and nite). Hardly lasts 24 hrs. The phone also does not have battery saving specifications like those found on S3. I can't believe thius is from Samsung which I always rated highly.

  • It worked shitty on 4.0 and 2.3. Now running 4.2.2 and it's as smooth as ever. This is not a recommendation. Do not get this phone.

  • I need my cell Network Lock control key. Pls help me

  • I want Network Lock control key.

  • it is good!

  • u mean stolled? xD

  • Locked? If it because of someone trying to open the pattern, try to reset your phone. That will remove all data in your phone unless you backup it earlier. Simultaneously press Home button + Volume up button + Power key and you get into recovery mode. The touchscreen not working here so select with volume button and choose with home button. Choose 'wipe data/reset factory'. Done with that and choose 'reboot system'. Your done.

  • this phone hiw to send a massege plees tell me korea virtion

  • i got this phone on road, but that is locked via email and password, so if any one know how to unlock this phone please tell me emidiately

  • I have had this device for 1 year and half already and i am going to get RID of it! If there is anyone out there considering if he or she should buy it then don't unless you want a VERY laggy phone with gingerbread, a bad camera, A tiny screen and with 2.3.6 as its last update it is forgotten!

  • how to move the SD card?

  • i.want to.know on how to unlock my.samsung galaxy gio.network lock

  • nice phone wit clean touch screen...but d battry doesnt last long.

  • After 2yrs of use...the phone is killing me... It get hanged up every time i do some thing... It went gud fr 2yrs only...

  • The phone just cant run it.

  • I had this phone for a couple years and its great to start. But it has low interneal phone storage and laggs a lot..

  • Used for 6 months battery draining in less than 5 hours! For 6 months I Changed battery twice! Other than that phone is good with Gingerbread Custom roms

  • exaclty the fone is not a user friendly stuff at all. the screen suddenly switches off n u feel like a fool. even if u r talking to sumone the screen turns off despite having resetting its turn off time n u have to do all button pressing code breaking. the fone z battery life is a mystery sime day it drains out the other time its ok. the camera is good but low llight capturing is almost on zero level v v v problemtic device i recommend nokia is a better option

  • Vidiocalling

  • mine does the exact same thing

  • just do a factory reset for that.you can do it by pressing the powerbutton and home button together when the phone is off.wait for some seconds and your phone will enter in the recovery mode then choose wipe data and you are done.note/factory reset removes all data on your phone

  • its very nice smart fone i like this fon

  • I am very upset with this phone. Bought it less than a year ago and has major faults. Home button takens screen shots rather than taking me to home page, phone turns off on it's own randomly. screen freezes and does not respond to touch (have to take battery out and put back to fix this) and for the past few weeks the battery chord has been charging up to 50% and then DRAINS it back down to 10%. Very annoyed. Don't buy this phone.

  • this is very nice phone please download racing moto

  • yes it can. all android phone (include galaxy gio)can instal whats app :-)

  • Please assist it urgent, does this phone download whatsapp????

  • Very good phone. I would recommend it to anyone who is short on money, but still wanna have a good, solid smartphone. It has a very good sound, and it is pretty loud and clear if you ask me. Wireless, GPS work like a charm. I've installed iGO PRIMO and now i have navigation wherever i go. The only minus (maybe) is his internal memory and 3.2 mpx camera. But if u root it and use LINK2SDthis problem is solved. Link2SD will automaticly transfer all data that you downloaded to SD card. Camera is clear but still it's 3.2. Buy it and u wont regret it :) (Sorry for my bad english. Still learning (: )

  • A good device. I rooted it and used LIN2SD application to counter low internal memory issue and comfortably using applications.

  • Used for a year and it stopped working. Disappointed

  • Good performance if you can set this up for utilities. It works nicely when I use it for office use, browsing, and entertainment. The sound could be very nice when you set things up by equalizer software...

  • I have had this little phone for 1 1/2 year. Very good starter phone. I want to upgrade to a newer one but I can't find anything wrong with this to use as an excuse for an upgrade. It's a keeper.

  • I used this phone for a couple of months.But now theres suddenly appears on my screen. Sorry! The Application samsung home,(process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly.Please try again Whats happening?I did nothing..

  • I ve used the phone for 1 year nd had no problem. Is really good.

  • veri veri good performance phone

  • i've been using this phone for 2 years, if you want a low budget android phone this one would be this best

  • Nice phone

  • Been using this phone for over a year, and no problems. A good entry level smart phone.

  • Iam inlove with this phone,am almost 1 year 3 months using,up to so far I didnt experience any problem

  • I bought this phone the other year and I regret it. It always messes up on me, never works properly, and the keyboard never works the right way when I text. Stay away from this phone. It doesn't actually work.

  • Hi How can upgrade Android version from 2.3.6 to 4.0.1?

  • Pls I have an Android version 4.0.4 running presently on my Gio, I would like to know if there's a way I can dowgrade to a lower version say 2.3 Thank you very much.

  • How can i run Subway Surfers on this phone??? Give me a link because it is not on Google Play!!!

  • Drag down notification bar and select conect storage to pc tab and sekect conect and your set

  • Wtf guys you're worried about the battery? If you don't know to read it can use a 32 GB SD card.So shut up!! I bought a Galaxy Gio and i don't have any problem. With sincerely, Daigonix ^w^

  • guys how do i make my usb cable 2 be on...cos wen i connct it into the computer it charges...pls help

  • The best you can do is to perform a factory reset and if that won't help you install the software Samsung Kies and perfrom an update for this phone and after that you perfrom a factory reset. Then everything should be working fine again. If not contact Samsung for this issue.

  • I have been using since 2yrs. V nice phone. Draw backs are the internal mem. My battry last 1 yr. The battery time is 15-20 hrs on full charge. Nice phone.

  • I have been using since 2yrs. V nice phone. Draw backs are the internal mem. My battry last 1 yr. The battery time is 15-20 hrs on full charge. Nice phone.

  • I just purchased a gio. My phone doesn't supports sms means it doesn't send sms. whenever i try to send a sms, it appears as invalid sender. to improve it, i loaded go sms software but still sms cannot be sent. pse let me know what to do?

  • I've had this phone for nearly two years now, and I really want another one. The galaxy Gio is very easy to handle but it has a few major setbacks: - as several people pointed out, it randomly switches off. It started doing that after about 3 months. - battery life decreases dramatically when using the internet, even when you close all background programs - internal storage is ridiculously insufficient: I have 11 downloaded apps on my phone, 4 of those are games and I have to remove data regularly as the internal memory is full already. I have a 2 GB micro sd card, of which I only use 42% because all app-data is stored on internal phone memory. - After about a year of use, my ohone has started to freeze frequently, sometimes several times a day. It also spazzes out when I use the internet quite regularly: the screen flickers between the internet interface and the dropdown menu where you pick recently browsed addresses. Other than ease of handling, weight and size, the only positive I can think of, is that the internet is quite fast - when it doens't spazz out - although that might just be my provider.

  • yeah i agree the phone is awesome i love it and i enjoy it very much but as my phone mates said then battery isn't that awesome

  • i agree, the battery sucks.. -.- but i love the lock screen!

  • i agree, the battery sucks.. -.- but i love the lock screen!

  • I really like this phone a lot , but the reason is the battery that doesn't last long

  • I really like the phone!!! but it s battery dont last long time, after 2 hours using the internet battery is low!!!??

  • this phone is good but updating is inconvenient

  • I have read bad and good about this phone. What other problems does it have besides the battery only lasting about a year? Do lots of people have problems with it switching off unexpectedly? Can one not get the batteries in SA? Thanks

  • I agree with the battery swelling, mine started to grow after ~1 year of use, had to buy a new one.

  • am also facing the same problem hw did u solve yours

  • Hi, I bought s5660 GIO recently. I couldn't find To-do list, please guide me.

  • i had gio s5660 it install application on the phone memory due to which my phone memory is fuul ..i dont know how to convert it into sd card plzzz any one who tell me how to convert it into sd card ?????

  • Do not buy this phone. The battery lasts 14 months and then it starts swelling. Mine swelled up so much that the back cover pops off if you try to put it back on. I swear if I were to charge it now the battery would probably explode. And I can't get a new battery for it because Samsung has DISCONTINUED this phone! I assume it is because of the battery issue it is dangerous. Stay away from it. I don't think Samsung did their homework with this one and they didn't warn consumers of the battery problem.

  • my old phone :( the usb port is broken and i can't charge my phone... 2 years and still get supports from xda developer like JB cusrom, AOSP of ICS, Firefox OS etc.

  • I had my Gio for almost over 2 years. I keep having the same problem, it switch off and on by it self, where ever I am (home, work or on the road), even when im busy on my phone. Can anyone tell me what might be the problem?

  • I used this phone for almost a year (until I lost it) and honestly, I love this phone! I miss it so much.

  • This phone is so bad that comparing it to the S3 is a huge insult. I had this phone and within 3-4 months it became unbearably slow and had many defects. I would only recommend this phone if all you do is call, not even text, just call. This phone has terrible response to touch. Better off with a nokia 3310

This is a great android to buy if you don't want to spend too much on a phone... It won't give you problems... And it's reasonably fast.. I say that it's a great smart phone! No regrets or worries about it breaking on me. Seems reliable :)

  • Move your installed apps to your SD card, or use mobile go(http://www.wondershare.com/android-manager/ )software to install from pc and check to SD card,by using this way, you will have enough space.hope you'll okay!

  • can anyone tell me how to recieve video messages or pictures

  • To get space: 1. do not update _preinstalled_ apps such as maps, YouTube etc because the updated version is a separate app. If you did, but don't use the newer features, downgrade like this: Settings->Applications->Manage apps->Maps->Uninstall updates 2. after you install several apps, restart the phone. To get battery life: Root the phone and install No-thrills CPU Control app and select 480MHz. It's still fluent. My Gio's battery lasts 1.5 days with CPU at 800MHz and 3 days with CPU at 480MHz.

  • How i can make more space in internal phone? sometimes they say internal storage getting slow. i hve try delete some apps. Anybody can help me??

  • hi can sum1 help me? i have samsung galaxy gio which is running android version 2,3,6 gingerbread. the problem is that my phone goes offline on itself, were i cant make and receive calls although it still allows me to use the internet. a circle with a line across appears at top of screen. the phone is not blocked, i chekt. please help

  • Easy! Just press the reset button on the bottom of your phone and set it up again. You just put your email address and email password. That's it.

  • You need a new SD card. If you get a lot of music video and apps ALOT you should get a 32 GB. Or 64 GB. If just apps and music I'd recommend a 16GB. Or 32GB. But if only apps then I'd reccomend a 2GB. And if just music then also just a 2GB.

  • Try calling whatever service you have. And the'll tell you what to do. Easy as that.

  • That happened to my moms phone. Call whatever your service is. Easy as that and the'll tell you how to fix it. Just follow there instructions!

  • i would like to know has this model got a reject cll on it the old models had but cant find one on this model thank you or a block number message function

  • Why isn´t there any google stuff in the chinese market?

  • Could we upgrade the OS just by using samsung kies? If so how do we do it?

  • I have both, 3gs and the gio. However the iPhone gets scratched so easily and could see the scratch, but not the gio. I've dropped my gio for more than a hundred times and it's still in a perfect condition. However, same here, I still don't know what to use

  • Where i live 3GS costs about 3times more free contract.Gets dirty and scratches more easilly than Gio.Gio browse well if you empty RAM before and restart phone from time to time.Display is better on Gio due to pixel density,3GS gets better on sun due to white theme.Maybe 3GS is better optimized baterry wise,browsing time is better.I used 4 Gio's trouble free,my brother had two 3GS.

  • I like using this phone as an mp4 player:)

  • What's the good thing about this phone?

  • What's the good thing about this phone?

  • Depends, this actually has a radio which the 3gs doesnt, and you can make your own hotspot wirelessly on this, on 3gs only through bluetooth. But for surfing the net, the 3gs is much better despite its 600 mhz processor, no lag or crashing, its much more minimal compared to the gio. Overall pretty similar but ill go for 3gs, more stable.

  • Which do you prefer? This or the 3gs?

  • You might be screwed, same happened to my friend, he handed it in to samsung and it cost $60 just to get it working again, their bastards. But there is a solution, but you will lose all your stuff. You have to download a program called odin, which flashes your firmware, then download the rom for the galaxy, after that just simply use odin and flash the firmware and it should be like a brand new phone after. Just youtube it for detailed instructions.

  • I have the samsung galaxy and i have the pattern code i tried it to much times now the phones requesting a username and password pls help as im frustrated

  • Excellent value for money.. good for using few apps at a time.. running many apps (Facebook, Viber, Skype) causes the system to respond slowly. But at this price, you need to consider this!

  • why i cant connect my wi-fi plz repley

  • Go to the settings, then applications, manage applications then u'll have the list of ur apps. Then just tap on those which u wanna move, tap on "move to sd card". Thats it

  • You can do it under Memory usage. 1. Hold down on your desktop to add new icon. 2. Pick "Shortcuts" 3. Scroll down and pick "Settings" 4. Pick "Memory usage" 5. Now open "Memory usage", go either under "All" and pick the app you want to move on SD card. 6. There will be "Move to SD card" button, but keep in mind, that it depends on the application if it can be moved or not. Have fun!

  • hello,i am using samsung galaxy gio s5560 ihave a question:how can i move my application into my sd card because every time i wanna download any apps i have a notification telling me your internal memory fuul please i wanna solve this problem

  • must have an active gmail account to phone

  • why isn't the market working????????

  • Well belive it or not im using the fourth Gio.The first two Android2.3.3 work better then later two 2.3.6 I'll think the later is not optimized for the phone,seems overloaded.The rest is average,good display and camera.Battery weak if you browse a lot,decent with moderate use,spans beetwen 12h to 36h.No major issues.Advice:empty RAM before browsing and restart the phone from time to time,is going to work better.

  • Dear, these games running on galaxy gio gt s5660 ?

  • Reply to IXIL too. Better than the smartphone you named (Galaxy Gio, LG L3 E400 and Galaxy Y Duos) is the Vodafone Smart 2. Take a look here: It's priced at just � 99,00 (2 GB micro SD and pre paid SIM card included). .

A friend of mine asked for an opinion but since I haven´t used it, what is better, Samsung Galaxy Gio or Samsung Galaxy Y Duos (he'll only use one SIM, but the store doesn´t have the one SIM version at the moment)?

  • very nice handset

  • Yesterday bought my second new,replacing the troublefree one yearold..Worth every penny,not perfect but a good phone overal. Good display,enough pixels per size,nice colors,good sunlight on max brightness. Nice camera with proper settings,without the key a pain making selfportraits. Good web browser,better to empty RAM before long sessions. Battery decent with decent use.But rather poor with heavy useage. Built quality its good,looks nice in time with proper care. Good speaker. Ear volume low in noisy places. Hard to find other as good pound for pound.Solid never had issues with mines. Easy 8/10.

  • Create a directory (Folders) in sdcard as: "Media/Audio/Notifications" And put your msg tones in it. Now you can select your tone from sound settings

  • Try downloadng zedge frm app store thn u can do it

  • Dude try downloading zedge frm play store u can set the msg tone thn i did it myself

  • is it okay to use this phone whlie charging?

  • This amazing bcoz browsing speed s good,viewing video in youtube also good,bcoz there s no buffering.it s nice phone.But i cant dlt all msgs at a single time.need to dlt one by one & CANT SET TONE FOR MSG except system sound

  • i cant set tone for msg.only system music can set.if anybody know that pls reply to me.

  • Very nice phone. Better to use with Cyanogenmod and S2E. Sound quality and output power is fantastic with big headsets. (I use Philips SHL5003) Video acceleration needs baseline h264 + aac encoding in mp4 container. (xvid works too)

  • I almost have this phone for a month. It's below expectations: hangs a lot, Lags too often and without reason, many network interrupts, poor data connection and a very slow GPS unlike what they say in the review it took from 7 to 15 minutes to lock from a cold start with a data connection! I have no idea if these things are from the OS, So I tried to update the software from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 and it just became worse. If you really wish to enjoy using Android just never buy a phone with CPU below 1 Ghz and 512 Ram and do not believe all you see on reviews; tested phones are usually unlike commercial ones. I don't know if all galaxy gio phones are like this besides that this is my first experience with android, but you might find something useful out of my opinion and maybe this phone will satisfy you!!

  • just download another keyboard in google play store, there are tons to choose from

  • it plays 720 p videos or not and also mp4 videos.

  • I can't delete my msgs on skype

  • Its a fantastic phone. today marks exactly one month of having it. i've upgraded it to gingerbread 2.3.6 and it looks awesome! for its price its a bargain. if you want to know how to upgrade your os just tweet at me @shade_y ;-)

  • Imaginary ICS ROM as developed recently for other Android has been successfully ported on Galaxy GIO. You can check that but it is important to note that the ROM is still in the alpha stage.

  • hi,which is one is better between gio and experia mini pro?i'm not sure please help me.tanks

  • Hi does it have a tracker,if i loose it will i find it easy?

  • I just paid $175 at Big W and it was locked to Optus. Could probably get it down a bit if you look around, but I just went for a wander on my lunchbreak

  • Tbh the battery is quite ok, I had 3 hours of voice calls and a day and a half uptime but just voice calls nothing else or maybe half an hour or so of gaming (puzzle stuff, nothing fancy).If you're using your wi-fi, you can browse like 4 hours then it's dead or 4 hours of fancy gaming. In my opinion this phone is really good regarding it's price and the battery capacity and remember it has a 800mhz processor which ofc it drains the battery at that frequency.

  • Hi bought same in feb 2012 n has to return back in april 2012.Company replace by a new one n now problem again as the phone power off by itself. Any help

  • It got fall out my pocket while I strikes a stone when travelling in my bike all the parts are get scattered but it still working like a new phone

  • Put the phone three times in a bucket of water and take it two times out. Problem solved.

  • Hi there, how could i move the apps or games to SD card? thank you.

  • After 6months: Poor battery,12-24hours,a pain. Good display,resolution per size its ok,not so good on sun,better to maximize brightness. Camera ok but only with proper settings,what a pain the missing shutter key. Internet work well,large pages somewhat slow,better to empty RAM daily. Good construction,after a while develops minor cracking noises when used. Low earphone sound.

  • Go on Giffgaff and browse/download for £10[goodybag] a month with 250 talk mins and free unlimited texts

  • I am not a technical person and am absolutely beginning to hate this phone! The battery lasts perhaps 5 hours without me using the phone at all ... WHY? Also airtime usage is EXCESSIVE, again without me "using" it ... Any help you can give will be HUGELY appreciated.

  • Why are filled with the internal memory when you connect to the Internet???? How can I avoid this problem through my mobile????

  • Why are filled with the internal memory when you connect to the Internet??? How can avoid this problem????

  • Of course it will eat/take ur airtime/money or whatever they called because nothing is free in this world even the internet. Just keep turn off ur internet setting to avoid that thing happen. I recommended u to use mobile broadband simcard if u wanna surfing internet using simcard network if u doesn't have wi-fi. :)

  • please advise battery life doesnt even last a day brand new fone

  • battery life is nt what it says in technical i dont even get a day on standby

  • The battery is the main issue,12 to 24 hours,but more common 12,barelly touched manages 24.Thats a pain,when you least expected having to charge. Display its ok,good resolution for size,in the sun its readble,quaite good with full brightness. Internet works nice except sometimes large pages are more hard to charge,better to empty RAM more often. No issue with hangs or errors,mine is 2.3.3 Ginger,works ok,sometime the touch doesnt react so its better to calibrate display from time to time. Camera is good,with proper settings does nice pictures,but what a pain the lacking of dedicated button. Compact size,good built quality with some cracks developing in time when squizzed. Samsung get a grip on battery,and put the earspekers on every box! Thats my thoughts after 6months with this phone,8/10.Good for money.

  • Yup.. My phone oso like that.

  • Yes

  • please tell me what to do.my gio is eating up my money everytime the internet is on.i called the my sim service and they said they do not see any problem with my numbers

  • why can't i send txt when internet is switched on so i got to turn it off just send a txt

  • yes

  • Does the Galaxy gio s5660 have swype for text?

  • I just bought a new Gio from HK, and unlock phone but can't using in Canada when I insert local SIM card.

  • Can you tell me the reason why my phone is unable to make long distant calls My network provide is Fido and they cannot tell me the answer. I tried everything they told me to do, reset and all that.

  • Can you tell me the reason why my phone is unable to make long distant calls My network provide is Fido and they cannot tell me the answer. I tried everything they told me to do, reset and all that.

  • You are right. You can't download flash player from play store on Gio. However, if your phone is rooted and you have 'root explorer' app installed (it costs you some bucks) then you can grab the .apk (installation file, similar to .exe in windows) of flash player for armv6 processors and install in less than a minute.

  • You can solve these two problems only if you intend to root your phone. I used to have Galaxy Gio before getting S2 and I had almost 107+ apps installed (of course by moving apps to sd card). I also had fully functional ADOBE FLASH PLAYER in Gio. Just checkout Gio's section on XDA forums and you can do these things too.

  • Recently Samsung has made available Android 2.3.6 for Galaxy Gio !

  • Pros: - Inexpensive (paid 150cdn) Great for placing calls and sending emails - Nearly indestructable. When i eventually got so fed up with this silly little thing that I tried to smash it, I wammed it on the desk as hard as I possibly could twice and it survived. However, it did not survive the impact of a 30lb Iron bearing falling from 6' hahaha. Cons: - Choppy and sticky graphics almost all of the time (such as menu animation, and video content including flash) - Audio skips and stops frequently during internet browsing - Does not come out of standby very quickly and when it does the touch sometimes doesn't work - My $800 Nad receiver has been connected to numerous phones, ipods and mp3 players without a single problem since it's purchase date in 2007. However when I connected this phone to it, there was a popping sound followed by smoke pouring from the corner of the phone....the receiver still works fine with everything else but the audio jack on the phone is completely fried. I took the receiver to two different technicians who both said it was not at fault. One of the technicians suggested that perhaps the phone's power adapter (connected at the time of damage) may have been poorly designed and caused a grounding conflict with the receiver and I am willing to believe this. Oh and the display often takes awhile to respond to the proximity sensor. Good luck

  • Brilliant little phone. Best in its price class. I've used it for half a year and found only 2 problems. a) Needs more internal memory. There's just too little space and you can't manually move apps to SD. b) You can't download Adobe Flash so you can't use some apps. Apart from these 2 problems it's reliable, cheap ( for what you get ) and quite nice to use from day to day. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a phone in this price class and if anyone is considering buying a X8 instead of this I strongly recommend to reconsider and choose this one instead because my sister got herself X8 and I wanted one too but at the last moment I reconsidered and got myself this one and now she just bought herself a Gio aswell because it's just so much better ( true story ).

  • Excellently performing smartphone that is reliable too. Only problem is that the audio port is in a nonesense position and the jack gets pulled out all the time while I'm using it, and using the phone.

  • does dis device support adobe flash or not or is it possible to download adobe flash player from play.,i guess and itlooks like that ii is not available in play market for this device?

  • How to forward the sms to another.

  • I have been using nokia, blackberry and iphone 4. Got samsung gio and i was amazed by the android experience. Its as good or maybe better then iphone o/s though may not be reliable enough as of iphone. But that time will tell. The performance of Samsung gio is very good keeping the price tag in mind and the features you are getting. The only feature i think is missing is the camera flash. Other then that i have been very pleased with this phone. Installed skype and worked perfectly, though you dont get video as it is with front facing camera. Overall a very good android and phone experience.

  • Ever since I upgraded my gio with gingerbread 2.3.3 from android 2.2.1,battery performance has improved with auto task killer to stop apps working on background galaxy gio is simply the best device for android users newbies.the browsing speed peformance of my gio is quite impressive on the web and i prefer multi opening of websites and apps at the same time with easy.the capacitive touch screen is excellent it accepts imputs without difficulties,even though gio is not good with video capturing and camera does not go far,no adobe flash support but u can suitch to you tube,it's worth the price.gio will never let you down when you race it against powerful devices.BETTER START UP YOUR GALAXY JOURNEY WITH THIS YOUNG GALAXY DRESSED IN OVERSIZED CLOTHES TO ENJOY ANDROID

  • 1. In your phone, go to Settings - Applications; turn on "USB debugging Mode". 2. Download from Web to your PC and install in your PC the Gio USB drivers. 3. Download from Web to your PC "Unock Root". No installation. 4. Download from Web to your phone and install in your phone "Root Explorer". This should install "Superuser" too. 5. Connect phone to PC using phone's USB cable. 6. From your PC run Unlock Root.exe and wait for phone to be detected. 7. Click "Root" button and wait for message "Drive successfully rooted". 8. Click "Reboot" button. The phone would vibrate when rebooted. 9. Open "Root Explorer" on the phone. 10. Allow "Superuser" request(root access request) and - if you want to - delete unwanted applications. 11. Close Root Explorer.

  • its hard to explain things here. i posted a reply earlier with an email address but mods deleted that. you should visit xda's website then and learn about rooting. explaining all that here is gonna take a lot of write up. if you ask specific questions then i'll try to guide you.

  • Play that mp3 in stock media player and press menu button. You'll see the option "set as ringtone" or something like that. Press that!

  • you need to root your phone and make a partition on your memory card into ext2/3/4 format (do it using card reader). then you can use app2sd or link2sd (these are available in android market) to transfer your games to the new partition you have made on your memory card. but don't make partition bigger than 1.5 GB!!!

  • What are the advantages of cyanogenmod and how can i update it in galaxy gio

  • Thanks are u on Skype???

  • Is it possible video or audio chat(yahoo,skype&gtalk) in this phone with no lag. Give me true reply to me. I would like to purchase this. Thanks

  • Procedure is very simple and hardly takes 5 secs. If you are running gingerbread on your gio then download gingerbread's file for rooting and place it in the root of your sd card (not in any folder). Then reboot your gio into recovery mode and apply the update.zip from there. Reboot your phone and your gio is rooted. If you're very well familiar with what I said then you're good to go. If not then I'd advise you to first get yourself well acquainted with such terms and procedures and then proceed because any wrong step can be harmful for your phone!!! You can find plenty of information on a very famous developer's forum on the internet. I don't know if naming them would come under commercial/referal programs or not. So you search on the internet and go to their Galaxy Gio's section. There you can seek help and find all kind of files and ROMs. I just tested IceCreamSandwich ROM (4.0.3) on my gio. Its not complete yet and still has bugs but whenever it'll be done, its gonna rock. God bless the developers because no way we can get ICS on our gio from official sources ever lol.

  • Already bought he GIOP but no USB cable include.. Why...

  • What do you think guys, which is better, Gio S5660 or HTC wildefire s? their battery life and performance

  • Thanks for your reply... Can you tell me all the steps that what you did actually while rooting and where I can find the proper file???

  • I appreciate your input on disadvantages of rooting one's device. Yes, rooting does void your warranty but its up to everyone whether to choose warranty or have fun with phone. Chance of bricking your phone during rooting is next to none if you do it with proper file which is not hard to find after a little bit of research on the internet. Rooting by any means has no performance aspect. It just gives you super user access to your phone which means that you can remove unwanted system apps, install a different version of android etc. Performance can only be improved by installing a custom android version or custom kernel which allows you to overclock your CPU etc. And here the risk of bricking your phone increases (again if you don't follow instructions or flash wrong files etc.) Well bro, if you just root your phone and DO NOT flash non-market apps then no virus issue exists. Rooting a phone doesn't install non-market (custom) apps automatically. So you can easily avoid this risk even after rooting. Now I tell you that I bought my Gio in August last year and so far I've rooted 2-3 stock ROMs on it and flashed various custom/stock ROMs some 20 times on it. Currently I'm using cyanogenmod 7.2 which is based on android 2.3.7. Gio's internal memory is just 181MB which is way too less but after rooting I have partitioned my sd-card and attached 450MB with 181MB. Before that my memory would get full after 30apps but now I have 107+apps (90% of these are essential for me) and still have some 100MB free in internal memory. In short I have done pretty much stuff on my phone which I couldn't do without rooting. :-) DISCLAIMER: All that I have said above is based on my experience solely and I have, in no way, tried to influence anyone to root his/her phone. I have done all that at MY OWN RISK and anyone trying to do that would do at his/her OWN RISK! Nobody is responsible if anything happens to your phone!

  • But rooting your phone might damage your phone... There are two main disadvantages to rooting an Android phone; 1. Rooting immediately voids your phone's warranty-Once rooted, don't try to bring your phone back for service or warranty work. You are on your own! 2. Rooting involves the risk of "bricking" your phone- In essence, a "bricked" phone is no better than carrying around a brick in your pocket. The phone is dead when it has been "bricked." 1. Poor performanc e-Though the intention of "rooting" a phone is to give the phone more performance, several users have found that, in their attempts to speed up the phone or add additional features, that their phones lost both performance speed and features. Remember that when you "root" your Android phone, you are making changes to the stock operating system. 2. Viruses-Yes, even phones can get viruses. A common practice that people do with "rooted" phones is to flash their ROM's with custom programs. Whenever you make changes to the code of a software, you run the risk of introducing a virus.

  • Halo, download Skype from the android market and enjoy with video calls

  • You have, but not with this phone :P Check skype website for the list of smartphones capable of handling video on skype.

  • Nice simple phone, the kind of cheap phone you buy to your girlfriend whose only interest in smartphone is to play Angry Birds...Why spend more ?

  • samsung galaxy ace is better than gio.

  • which is better galaxy ace or gio?

  • Y i dont have video call on skype?

  • Yes! You can easily download it from android market.

  • Yes! You can easily download it from android market.

  • i want to know if galaxy gio contains whatsapp

  • no the galaxy gio iss better then htc explore. galaxy gio cpu 800 mgz and internat mamory iss 161 mb and htc explore only 600 cpu and htc explore problem iss 90 mb internat only. I am use galaxy gio around 20 days. this phone iss battery life around 3,4 days. the galaxy gio iss owsome

  • Pdf files can b viewed n browser is also fine.

  • Galaxy gio is better

  • Im getting a cell phone for my birthday and i really badly want the gio but is it a good phone??

  • What do you guys think, is HTC Explorer better than GIO? I can't decide which one of these two to buy....

  • samsung galaxy y is much better than samsung galaxy gio.i am saying this becoz i have experienced this mobile,so think much before buying this phone

  • how long does its battery last? & what is actual talk time and battery time on stand-by? plus mine one prompts me for charging but even with this continuous prompting lasts another 8-10 hours

  • You're welcome. Well, Google Voice works great and you won't really have to type if you can speak clear english. Search video on youtube about google voice and see what it does.

  • Thanks! got me understood better. I hesitate buying this full touch type bcoz I'm likely texting many times. But to buy the Pro, my budget is limited to Gio. Have do decide very soon!

  • How long does your battery last and what's your usage pattern?

  • 1000+ opinions posted on this cell phone are already answering your question. Have a look at few. ;-)

  • You don't need adobe flash to view .pdf files. Thinkfree Office comes pre-installed in gio and with that you can view not only .pdf but also doc/xls/ppt files. You can also download adobe reader from market to view pdf files. Apps for popular emails services such as Yahoo, Hotmail and Gmail are already available in android market. Also, there is a standard email app pre-installed which can be configured for other email services. So, using browser to read emails is not worth it.

  • I'm considering to buy this one instead the Pro. Need to clarify few things: can PDF files be viewed as there is no adobeflash? cmiiw. Also, how's the browser's display for checking mails etc.? Thanks.

  • How is this phone im planning to buy this phone?

  • WTF?I have this phone and is really really good...it doesn't make me any problem you should get it

  • Hi folks, I am using this mobile from past 3 months.i am having lot of problems related to battery.can any one suggest me what i need to do.my talk time is very less may be5-10 min per day.i will use it to listen music thrice ina week.tell me how much charging i need to put /any other ..etc.Pls help me i am irritated by this.

  • I'm not sure whether to buy this phone or not, most comments are really good or really bad I originally wanted a qwerty phone but other than that this suits my needs should I get it????

  • sorry no idea about it since never did it. but if your purpose is just to have a backup then you can download sms backup apps from market. they'll backup/restore your messages to/from your sd card. ok i'll add you.

  • Yes you can install skype on your galaxy gio. There's an official skype app in market. However, I've yet to figure out how to do video chat on it without having front camera. I couldn't even watch video of my friend who was talking to me on skype from his iphone4. If anyone knows, do let me know.

  • You better send your gio for service because I have played numerous times the game you've mentioned i.e. raging thunder and never faced any graphic glitch. I didn't feel any lagging either. Also, you can search on youtube to find out that people are playing NFS on gio. :)

  • On gio, you can't download flash player from market because there is no official flash support for armv6 processors. However, if you root your gio then you can easily install flash player on it. I have installed fully functional flash player 11.1 (that's the latest I think) on my gio and I can not only watch live tv (a few channels of my interest) but also play flash based videos (which can be optimized for mobile viewing like 240p etc.) and online flash based games.

  • Very good phon

  • is that galaxy gio support for skype???

  • i dont recomend this phone because i have this phone and it has poor graphics for games. i cant even play raging thunder. it is also very slow mobile.

  • hey can you please let me know how do you watch tv on it... I am still unable to download adobe flash player even so thinking of watching tv is far ahead idea...

  • MSN is supported by an app in the Market. Search "MSN" in the Android Market and then you're set.

  • its camera is perfect for outdoor and its a good set!!!!! i love it!!!!!

  • yess ,,; on skype and on yhaoo also ;:: ;; I think msn is not suporting ;; I ask this question ..???

  • haloo for every one;;: did is posible msn hotmail : video calling ;; I have instaled ; but no video just chat::;:; ,,;

  • Hi, It does indeed support Skype. Just downlaod from Google Market, setup and use. Works very well. Excellent.

  • No you'll have to manually move them to SD card and not all apps could be moved. Upgrading via kies is better than odin because your warranty will remain intact (if its still valid). For flashing via odin, you'll have to search for specific gingerbread build that samsung in your country is currently offering and that may be a bit difficult. So, you better go with kies upgrading!

  • No, and that's disappointing!

  • when updated to gingerbread are applications installed straight to sd card?????????and is akies update the best or should i download the file directly from the internet and install it with odin?????

  • does this phone have video calling,if yes how do you set it up?

  • Sound quality when listening music over headphones is terrible comparing to my old Nokia 5310 XpressMusic. Phone keeps catching some pulsing noise. It is not so noticeable in noise environment during day, but it drives me crazy in quite environment (night or evening). Radio quality is even worse. I can't listen radio at all - 20-30% is buzzing noise. I tried various headphones, but got same issues. The more expensive headphones I used - more noise they captured. I thought that maybe my phone is broken. But when I borrowed another phone I got same issues.

  • I am quite a serious user of gio (rely on it from GPS navigation, watching live tv, communicating with friends via social app to daily email/message/phone call) and I tell you that it is a great phone (and pretty affordable too here in Pakistan). Wifi issues are there on froyo so if you upgrade to gingerbread they are gone. Also the freeze/shutdown issue goes away with upgrading too. As for battery issues then it depends upon usage. Sometimes I have charged my battery twice a day and sometimes after 2-3 days. It totally depends upon usage. But I agree that it doesn't have a remarkable battery timing. I in no way tried to prove you wrong. Just wanted to tell others the solutions to the problems you faced.

  • Its a very good phone. Camera is reasonable with 3.15MP resolution. Picture quality is nice too if exposure is good. Check the picture quality from gsmarena's picture quality tool. It offers many other features as well. If you're asking about camera flash then no it doesn't have that. However, you can install adobe flash on it.

  • Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > click on the application you want to move > click Move to SD. That application will be moved to SD card if it allows it.

  • i have use this phone.i hve download software for market installed in phone memory.how to convert software in memorycard

  • hai guys am going to buy tis ph tell me it is good r bad guys pls and hw was the camera clarity it is good r bad and it has flash r nt

  • It is one of the most cheap and shoddy Saumsung Android phones in the market. Horrible battery time and wifi issues are endless. Also freezes many times. Its just a toy for kids. No serious users. Dr Kamran Dodhy, Lahore, Pakistan.

  • ok i'll get it......

  • Its made by Samsung so its Korean of course. It might very well be manufactured in various countries too. Theme is changeable if you're using launchers other than default TouchWiz.

  • Install some battery related apps from market and your problem will be solved.

  • Connect your gio to pc and then run kies. Kies will notify you of an upgrade to 2.3.3 (if its available in your region). In case, kies doesn't notify then update kies first and then it will notify you.

  • hi dear somebody can guid me how to upgrade android 2.2 to 2.3 in samsung gio mobil

  • Why in my samsung galaxy gio. The show battery use doesnt show other application only show maps voice calls , display and some other percents. But didnot show all. How can i solve this problem.

  • Hi everyone... this is an awesome phone which now comes genuinely with android 2.3.3 gingerbread! internal memory is 180 MB and RAM is 278 MB No problem at all except the battery which drains pretty quick It does not support skype video calling neither flash in the browser though the speed is pretty good. touch sensitivity is awesome with beautiful colors. Camera result is VERY good due to the autofocus. In the box there is a Samsung "kies" C.D for software updating, a micro USB charger, an earphone, a USB cable and a user's manual. It has a CAPACITIVE touch screen which is heat sensitive not pressure so, won't work with anything except the fingers... this is similer to the iPhones and every other good phone in the market. Take care!!

  • what is its make origin? can its Theme be changeable?

  • i am using galaxy gio since 7 months and i really like the build quality ,camera,video recoder after update it records videos at 30 fps even in low light , processor , gpu , i played all the hd games on gio like gt racing hd,asphalt 5 hd, nova hd,gangstar mv hd,galaxy on fire 2 hd, nfs shift hd , need for speed hot persuit , etc etc they all work smooth as butter ..because i rooted my mobile and install chain fire 3d which comes between gpu amd mobile and can increase performance.....hahaha

  • It is beter than all Galaxy series phones,and the raport price-quality is very very good

  • Whats its performance in games as compared to wildfire s

  • battary life is very bad

  • my headphones suddenly dd nt get recognized by my phone. i tried alot of sets none of them workd. only a tv output cable seems to work. what can the problem be? the only thing i did nt try is a software update

  • Sampung Gio.Hade a look in the shop at both phone.LG looks and feels crappy.Only thing a dislike that you cant right with a styler on the screen,have to use the fingers.

  • what resolution shooting with Android 2.3.Does anyone know?please

  • What could be done to improve the battery life? esp when you use internet pretty much all the time, coz it really drains your battery. any app that helps? change in settings?

  • it needs to be charged twice a day its still new good phone but the battery sucks

  • This is pretty good phone for the price. It is good for an entry level smartphone. The thing I wish for the most if support for WMA format audio.

  • Plz tell me between Sampung Gio & LG Optimus Net, which on is better ?

  • yup! its true

  • Very good fone buy it is beter than all the galaxy models

  • I had the exact same problem from the start, but fortunately it is easy to solve: Make phone forget server. Reboot modem. The phone finds the home server again. Wait another 5-8 minutes... Your connected!

  • That's the thing: "Nobody knows..." Hahahaha!

  • I got it today and I love it to pieces!

  • Its such a good phone

  • update your firmware.

  • Iam useing since 5months and no problem at all ,great phone in galaxy family .

  • Why samsung priced gio higher than ace?

  • amazing, believe me !!!!

  • I have a similar problem when connecting wirelessly to my home network. The S5660 can see the home network, and indicates strong wireless signal strength. At times it will connect without a problem, then will not connect. Wifi is active. The network is seen as remembered, and the security status noted. if i click on the network in the wifi settings page, it asks me to connect, on clicking that, it says that it is out of range. The phone is new out of the box (less than a week old). It hasn't been rooted, and is running gingerbread. Any suggestions? Thanks.

  • hi friendz i m going to tell u a breaking news about this phone that this phone has GPU which is not mentioned here it has QUALCOMM Adreno 200 GPU which is equal to 64MB Graphics card

  • Iam ow only going to buy tis phone

  • Does this phone support both 2G and 3G network in India.....Pls tell when this phone wil be released in India....I found one seller in EBAY but he told tat this Gio product works only in 2G network in INDIA is it True....PLS PLS anybody reply

  • It's pretty good , i am using for last two weeks. Quite worthy for every penny .

  • Hi dear you do only one thing, just push the lock switch for 3,4secs then a shutdown widow appears then you select data transfer mode deactivation, then it'll be ok.

  • Pretty ok. Using it for about 3 months with gingerbrad out of the box on it. Pictures could be better but at this price I've seen worse. I don't understand why people are complaining about battery life. I get from 1 to 6 and a half days of stand-by. It's not a netbook or something like that to work all day on it. If used as a phone it has normal battery life.

  • What exactly is the problem you're facing? Does it disconnect again and again or it doesn't connect in first place? Be specific about the problem and then you might be able to get some guidance.

  • my internet always not working and my airtime just dissappear, i don't know what to do anymore plz help

  • I'm using it for few month now. stock rom rooted and it's pretty good, no problem at all. battery life is not that bad, it will support you for a day.

  • Upgrade to gingerbread 2.3.3

  • Use "airdroid" app

  • This phone is RUBBISH stay the heck away from it! SOO Many problems including: 1. Regular hangs if Wi-Fi is left on - u have to remove the battery to reboot it! 2. If in the mode where the screen turns off during a call, you often can't hang-up after the call, so if the other person doesnt, you have to pull the battery out! 3. Disgraceful touch screen. To start an SMS you almost have to poke ya finger through the glass! 4. It doesnt tell you how many characters you have typed when typing an SMS. In Australia we want to know if we exceed 160 as we'll be charge for a 2nd msg. etc etc DONT GO NEAR THIS CRAP!

  • Try sms backup + from the market. it backups your sms'es to your gmail mailbox.

  • The battery is really bad, almost does'nt stand a day. But i guess it's all the android system. And i play kind alot every day! ;)But it's good that they have an app for this problem to!

  • i am using this for almost 1 month nd facing a problem i-e it powered off once a day automatically if its not a defect then how can i get rid off it means is it b corrected my changing settings? . guide me if any1 knows

  • please tell how to see sms on pc like nokia pc suit. kies is not supporting !!!!

  • Some users say that gingerbread upgrade did improve battery performance. It also solves the problems of wifi error and random shutdowns that were present in froyo. Yes, rooting is not only possible but also very easy on gio. It grants you superuser access level and then you can flash stock/custom roms of your choice, install tweaks to boost performance and a lot more things. You better search on google to get detailed guide on how to root your gio.

  • Does an upgrade to gingerbread improve the phones battery usage time.......and what else does it improve...........iz it possible to root the phone,how and what exactly does rootin do???....great phone got it 4 a week

  • the galaxy gio has impressed me with it's accurate tourch response, it really corresponds beyond to what you want it's more like a magnet. wow!!!!!cool phone at present.start galaxy life with this caracter in samsung galaxy series and you will prove it.

  • No, it doesn't since it doesn't have front camera. However, if you just want to transmit your video then you can use Tango app. It supports rear camera for video chat but during that you won't be able to see the video of person you're chatting with.

  • fastfix, gps test, google navigation and sygic navigation.

  • I have never tried it nor its specs sheet says that it supports usb otg. So, I think it doesn't work!

  • This set support skype video chat. ? Pls advise

  • Which GPS apps are you using?

  • @samydroid does usb-on-the-go work on this fone with a correct cable

  • After plugging in your phone into PC via cable, turn on USB mass storage from your phone and then you'll see your PC detecting a drive. Then you can easily move files from/to phone.

  • That's strange because I have observed that its pretty much accurate while driving and walking. I have tested it in cities and on highways and it has just been great! How many satellites do you get locked with?

  • I use GPS in my Gio extensively and I must say that it has never disappointed me. The only issue I faced was a slow fix but I resolved that by installing an app from market (it requires root). Now I get a fix very quickly. I have used both sygic and google for navigation. Overall, my experience with Gio's GPS has been great!

  • I had also same problem and then i hard rest it by clicking Volume down + call + call reject key at the same time after switch off then my mass storage also worked..

  • Please install samsung kies in your computer

  • All you need is install the Samsung Kies (that's in the box's phone) and click on your phone "Connect to the PC" that's it ;)

  • The phone is good, only thing i hate about it iss GPS accuracy.

  • Hi, How di I download photos from the phone to my pc... please help... It's plugged in to the pc via USB, but nothing happens...

  • Hi, How di I download photos from the phone to my pc... please help... It's plugged in to the pc via USB, but nothing happens...

  • Log in with your gmail account and change it.

  • Gio in Latin language means jewel. And I must say it is not less than precious jewel. What should I say about it. I don't have words to praise it. There is nothing bad about this phone. It has surpassed my expectations. This phone is much better than it's competitor phones like galaxy mini, LG optimus 1 etc specially look wise. It just looks like a luxury phone. To all who wanna buy a new phone, I strongly recommend this phone. It won't disappoint you. My phone already came upgraded to Android 2.3.3 gingerbread, so there is no complaint about the battery life. I specially like the screen quality and looks of this phone.

  • can we download skype in this phone?what about whatapps?

  • thx for ur reply....i bought fit....is it better than gio?

  • u will have to configure manual settings to use internet cuz auto settings not available from service providers in sri lanka. internet works fine

  • Basically, good value for money, but has a lot of quirks. Main beef - sometimes very difficult to kill an application - e.g. when a phone call requires keyboard input, it is difficult to get to the "end call" screen. Also, not possible to use radio - it says "download update" but then nothing happens. Otherwise, quality of sound on calls is good, which I suppose is the main issue.

  • Hi, I've got this phone and I have it since November, I just have one thing to describe this phone... It is just MIND BLOWING. I love my phone more than anything else. It does everything for me that I expect from it, it even exceeds beyond my expectations. I never get bored with it. This is probably the best phone in this price range. I am more than happy with it. I now have the best phone among all my friends. It's got wonderful battry life and performs too good. what more to say about it, it is simply the best. Now to answer your questions, galaxy gio saves bluetooth files directly to the memory card.

  • i m frm sri lanka,my samsung galaxy gio phn is nt working properly.cnt send messages,cnt log internet,in sri lanka this phone nt available..help me

  • 10k means 10 000 so you can afford any smartphone

  • Hello friends please help me out..i'm gonna buy an android phonein 2 days and my budget is 10k...please suggest me some phones available in this range if you know...and let me know can i install apps in memory card and save messages to memory card?...allsamsung mobiles are not reliable..please help me out...and one thing more...does this phone saves bluetooth files directly to memory card or via phone memory?

  • Being ugly is an aesthetic issue. When you look at the phone you can easily decide whether its ugly to YOU or not. So, asking about ugliness from others is futile. As for it being not worth it then it is absolutely not the case. The reason I bought this set and the comments I read before buying this said had one thing in common i.e. "value for money". It indeed gives a lot for the price. I am not saying that other brands don't give. Just that Gio does give as well! Rest you can decide.

  • galaxy gio s5660 is not luanched in india why im wating to buy this

  • Why isn't it worth it? In what way is it ugly? Please explain! I'm buying this phone for Christmas but I wanted to know what people think of this phone before I do.

  • Turn off your 3G and reduce your screen contrast, it would give you a 4 day battery.

  • Galaxy Gio is the ugliest Android smartphone ever! With less function,it is not worth it! Ugly,ugly,ugly,ugly,ugly.

  • Ace is better than the gio

  • 100 time better than galaxy fit is it launched?

  • yes, i guess more than 80 %

  • Hi all my airtime goes quick. The phone is good how do you get dowload other apps

  • It is one of the awesome phone in samsung galaxy series.. i am using it from couple of months and it works absolutely fine.. No alternative in this price.. I strongly recommend this phone if you have limited budget.

  • Connect your gio to PC and run kies. If your kies is up to date then it will give notification of latest firmware upgrade (gingerbread in this case) straightaway (provided gingerbread has been released for your region). If kies doesn't give notification then try to upgrade kies first and then check if it gives any notification for gio's firmware upgrade.

  • Are you running Froyo? If yes then whenever it gives error, after you try to turn it on, dial this code and turn it on again. It will work! Code is *#*#526#*#* Or upgrade to gingerbread to fix this problem permanently!

  • have rear camera,sky pe and gtalk.

  • wifi of my Gio gives error (turns off)in the noon till i restart it, everyday its happening. can anybody help me out?

  • pls how do you upgrade the gio. any idea on how to block some numbers rom calling you

  • Hi All, Could you all expert suggest which one is best - Galaxy Gio or Galaxy Fit ?? in all respect..

  • u can do that thru kies. u r wrong.

  • Your msgs save into your phones' internal memory. keep some space in your phone dont install too much apps. secondly, open the text msg inbox open goto the settings and make each thread limit to 5000 and that is maximum number of msgs each thread can hold. First 3 options in the msg settings are related to these settings.

  • i have a problem with samsung gio,my message and memory always full even it is empty.. can u guys tell me why...

  • It is not scratch resistant.

  • How scratch resistant is the screen? It looks like glass but they say nothing about a glass display in the specs...

  • battery is just fine as the other droids are providing... almost all of the droids are having the same issue .. u haveto charge your phone in a day or two... As i m using only 2G networks ocassional use of wifi no gps no gprs nothing rite now .. and my phone actually give me 1.5 days i dont play many games since i m using it for the past 6 months i devised the way to lengthen its battery life that : NO 3G enable wifi only when u need no gps (enable only when u need) screen brightness keeps it 25% or just below 25% it will be enuf to serve your purpose of viewing

  • Wooohooooo !!! :D I upgraded my gio to gingerbread 2.3.5 yesterday :D Install samsung kies and it will itself prompt you to upgrade your phone to the latest firmware :)

  • u mean keys at the bottom ?? If yes then YES :) gio only has a single button at its front, both keys around the middle button are touch sensitive they are not actually buttons

  • My gio can receive text msgs that are upto 6 pages (160 characters per page) ... but note that although i can receive such big msgs but i can not create sms more than 3 pages othrwise it will acutomatically convert to MMS. As i have tried forwarding 4 or 5 page txt msgs but as soon as i choos to forward it automatically convert to MMS ..

  • ofc u can play youtube videos. u can play a lot of movie formats. u can install video players like bsplayer and codecs directly from android market...FREE.

  • i have this phone and it's great. i upgraded andtroid on 2.3. battery is bad. i charge gio every day at evening. in serbia it' 110 euros . for that money that is the best phone i ever see.

  • looks like this phone is really good based on all of urs opinion ! :)

  • Plz.. Reply .. can we play youtube video..!

  • No doubt its a goood choice for the price.. I mean it. yes batttery is at downside, but thats the issue with most of the droids. I am using it, camera is goood (goood means its what that u can expect from a 3MP phone), but I would sugggest heavy users to stay away from it coz of battery and ram, otherwise most of the users will stay satisfied.

  • I've had it for a week or two now and i can assure you i've no random shutdowns. The battery lasts me more than a day even if i play games on it for a fair while. If i don't do anything with it i'd estimate the battery'd last 3-5 days, just remember to disable wifi etc when not using it.

  • Guys I previously owned an htc desire until a small mishap with the phone made me go and buy another phone. This time not wanting to spend a lot of money I bought the GIO. At first I was a little skeptical about it's status but after usage I realized that there is not much difference from my previous phone. Apart from the proprietary company softwares not much difference. At times I do feel it's a tad slow than my Desire but not a significant difference. Now I plan to upgrade it to gingerbread 2.3. Lastly a good phone to own in budget range cos if you lose an expensive phone just like that it really hurts but this GIO baby really made my day.

  • As oposed to S2, Gio can actually fit in your pockets and it`s much cheaper. I`ve had this phone for 2 months, now. I am impressed with solid construction (back lid gives you a sense of grip)and fast proccessor. Kies upgraded it to 2.3.3 Gingerbread. Lack of flashlite is kind of frustrating since overall camera works fine (has autofocus). This is my first phone with wireless and GPS and you can imagine my satisfaction since they work out just fine. I am reading quite a lot on internet on wireless, 10-15 calls and sms per day and the battery has juice for 1-1.5 days, but I don`t mind. Overall, the best phone I ever had.

  • The samsung gio is the best phone i ever had

  • Does this phone have touch sensitive controls????

  • joseph the glaxy gio is very great and usefull there is only one problem i you charge it runs out realy quick but is still acceptibal it is just like a iphone but better the same seetting and idea pinch to zoom in and out. keep holding to delete any file very great phone if you are thinking to buy one go and buy it you will never regret it

  • If you want to buy android phone be sure you can adapt to new technology because this is a sensitive-type of phone. This is not like the basic phone you used before. Keep basic if you don't want yourself complicated.

  • Why can't I receive two page text messages? Most of the time I only get page 2 - pretty frustrating! Anyone know why this happens or how to fix it? I've called the service provider with no luck....thx!

  • Can you advise me how to install the 3g settings on my Gio?

  • Either you'll have to root your set to install froyo again or take it to customer service center and ask them to do it. I'm not sure about second option though but you should try it first because that might not require rooting.

  • try with kies.

  • To update your Phonesoftware, go to the official webpage of your phonebrand, connect your phone to your pc en follow the steps on the site.

  • I bought this week ago and very good user experience better runs good enough for 1 and half day when using phone too much. stand by goes more then 2 days. Its touch is awesome, quality is awesome. Recommended to you all.

  • hello guys an anyone tell how to update this mobiles firmware to 2.3

  • hi everyone plz tell me which one is better galaxy gio or galaxy pro and why? and also that did this phone support flash as galaxy pro supports adobe flash 10 plz reply , and how fast gio's battery drains?

  • Guys this is an awesome phone. Really ! A phone with a fantastic touch along with sharp, clear and bright screen. FAST. Camera result is great. You would love using internet on it. It's battery is quite nice but if you are continuously using wifi, watching videos, it would definitely gonna drain in about 20 to 24 hours. But for normal use it can easily go by 2 to 3 days. Those who are thinking about buying this phone, just go for it. I bet you won't regret it. You would definitely gonna live this thing. Cheers.

  • iam using this since a 3months its great phone made by samsung and also google to whos made by android os now i update my gio in 2.3.3 gingerbread aftar update i can fel improvement in speed and battry life now i love galaxy series i download 3d hd games one of the best is dead space and nfs shift.. so there is no hangin problem ar any softwae issue in this gio .so go for it in this price range this is the best..

  • In Germany Aldi have this for �139 unlocked.

  • when i had GIO with android 2.2.1 its fine and great as i updated to 2.3.3 it slows down and consuming more RAM . i want my old 2.2.1 back is there any way as my pc is formated through i upgraded the set. plz help me to get back froyo 2.2.1

  • Guys, I'm going to buy this amazing phone. Should I buy it or not? Thanks in advance. Also tell me how long the battery lasts with normal usage and 2G network all the time.

  • I am using it for 6 months.It is true that the battery time is not very good but it is not so bad.i use it alot but the battery goes for 2 days.overall i think it is a must have hand set because i think that it is a best android phone available for this price in the market.

  • Should I remove my (scratched) screen protector? I'm not sure how the screen would stand up to scratches... Also is the surface of the screen plastic or glass? When pressed hard enough the screen ripples, but when it is knocked it sounds solid like glass (unlike LG O1). The screen protector does give a plasticky feel but the screen feels kinda cool after being left in the cold???

  • It does increase ram to a small extent (depending on your rom you get 279~280mb versus 278mb in Froyo), however the major improvement would be the performance - my gio on gingerbread feels so much faster then my friends' (2) galaxy aces...even tho my phone is fully loaded with stuff :)

  • Should I go for samsung galaxy gio? I've read very very bad comments regarding galaxy gio. Is it really a waste of money, as most people say? Is its battery really draining to 0% with or without use within 1 day? Is it actually turning off automatically? Plz help me with your genuine, honest and helpful reply.

  • I tried my best to connect my samsung galaxy gio to pc through samsung new pc studio but in vain. It flashed that unregistered phone is connected. It means that samsung galaxy gio is not connect. Any one who guide me that how can I connect samsung galaxy gio to samsung new pc studio.

  • I tried my best to connect my samsung galaxy gio to pc through samsung new pc studio but in vain. It flashed that unregistered phone is connected. It means that samsung galaxy gio is not connect. Any one who guide me that how can I connect samsung galaxy gio to samsung new pc studio.

  • The problem that I face is that even with A-GPS it takes just a bit more time than usual to get locked (can anyone offer any solution?). But once locked, I have seen it working flawlessly. I have used it many times in voice guided navigation and it has never failed.

  • It depends upon your choice and budget. Mini has less features than Gio so it costs less. This comparison may be helpful.

  • Gio

  • guys what about gps? Do you have any problems??

  • Thinking of getting this phone, yes or no? Any better ideas in the same price range?

  • should i buy gio or galaxi mini? im so confused with those phone? bcos my samsung e2652w cannot running its wifi. always hang when i try to use wifi. should restart again. i want gio or mini, can you help me? thanks

  • I bought this phone a couple of weeks back,because i wanted ti use android phone,but it turned out to be a nightmare,while using the internet the phone hangs,it shuts down automatically,also the battery is the worst as compared to any other phone,so i sold it and bought wave2,which is 100 times better than this crap,the battery life is good,has crystal clear LCD,and awesome camera,but the best part is the look of that phone,which is amazing,i love it.

  • To restore default setting Switch off mobile Press both volume up/down botton along with power button at same time Screen Will appear say press volume down key to restore

  • Worst phone I ever chose - 1) Touch screen to sensitive 2) Phone is to complicated 3) Netweork provider does not inform you off aplications running in the background - hence Air time been taken without you knowing 4)you are limited to your ring tones - cannot personalize it to the caller

  • Try the other keyboard in your gio (Samsung or Swype) or download gingerbread keyboard from market to see if the issue is with a particular keyboard only.

  • Settings -> Privacy -> Factory Data Reset If you have been backing up your apps then I think it won't change settings.

  • Ok I will try to restore factor settings but where shud i find that option :D I looked into the settings but it wasnt there :/ and if i restore the defaults wud it change the settings i made to installed apps ?

  • No, I dont let any application running in the back ground i know how to keep the fone free and i always check application manager if any useless app is drawing space from my ram :| well, one more question, i heard before upgrading that ginger bread uses less amount of ram than froyo but in my case that is totally reversed :| i was using around 160-170 mb in froyo and with the same apps ginger bread is using 200-210 mb of ram :/ what is that ?

  • Thanks for your reply :) Thats very sad :( well i m getting used to live with this and every tym i type a word i reassure that space is on its place :D lol

  • Salam. friends thanks for your responses, whatever the reason would be,but Samsung must provide flash player support with gingerbread update, because it is the major update in gingerbread, if there is no flash player support, what is then big benefit for updating to gingerbread? it just brings some display benefits. To Ali- Try re store factory settings Ali, may be it fix your problems inshaAllah. but before re store factory settings must back up your data,specially contacts and calendar etc. the data in sd card isn't deleted in restoring factory settings. Best of luck:-)

  • For me you're the unfortunate one because space bar and other keys work flawlessly on my gingerbread gio. :) Are there any big processes going on in the background while you're typing message? Even with one and two programs running in background I never noticed this but may be your programs, if running in background, are heavy on your RAM...?

  • The actual reason is the processor which is armv6. Flash is compatible with armv7 processors and so on. Developers have developed flash for armv6 but for that you have to root your phone.

  • I want to ask one thing. Since I get my fone to version 2.3.3 my Space bar doesnot responds promplty as the other keys do secondly, the key at the bottom left (which shows special characters) also lags in response, This annoys alot and damn frustrating that every time u need to go back delete ur text and put spaces in between them :'( My key pad keys were perfect when i got the froyo preinstalled. Is there any solution regarding this? Is there any one having the same issue or i m the only unfortunate one :D

  • @ Shahid: i guess this is not the gingerbread this is ur fone that doesnot support flash. I observed that the fones like galaxy S or comparable fones can easily play flash coz they have bigger screens like 800*450 resolution and gio have small screen 320*480. I guess that is the limiting factor. If u know the actual reason pls let me know

  • lol, the firm ware update u are mentioning is actually ginger bread version 2.3.3, i guess .. what ever the update is, go ahead and update ur fone and then chk ur phone status.. this is what i have done and get my gio to ginger bread 2.3.3

  • You pictures must be lying somewhere in "My Files". But to locate them, tell how you downloaded them? Like from internet, transferred from laptop via kies or what? Do note for future that if you are not familiar with folders then connect your gio to laptop and turn mass storage on. Your gio will appear as removable drive in my computer. Go into that drive, select the folder and copy your files (pictures, music, videos whatever).

  • Awesome phone with touch near to iPhone. Camera result is good and battery backup is good as well. Speed is a bit slow if u run angry birds on it otherwise the phone is superb as compared to its price.

  • I have this samsung gallaxy gio s5660M and I connected it to my lap top and down loaded pictures into the phone, but can not find them any where, how do I get my pictures onto my cell from lap top?

  • As for the wifi problem in Froyo then remember this code *#*#526#*#* and whenever you get wifi error then rather than rebooting just go to dialer and type this code. It will start loading WLAN drivers. When it will tell you that driver loading successful then just connect the wifi again and it will connect! Yes, upgrade is available in Pak. If you're not getting the notification then upgrade your kies first and then you'll get gingerbread upgrade. So far, I have not encountered this wifi problem on my gingerbread so I assume it was only in Froyo.

  • Glad to know that it worked. The shutdown problem seems to be solved on my gingerbread too so I hope its no more there. And you're welcome!

  • Hey, i got this phone a month ago, and one thing i notice is a problem with the wifi, it sometimes gives error. And have to restart my phone to get the phones wifi to turn on. . I also wanted to upgrade to ginger bread. Is the update available in pakistan? Do i have to root my phone for that? Plz help.

  • thank uuuuuuuu!!!! jus finished upgrading gingerbread!! lets hope this solves my auto shutdown (SOD) issue!! fingers crossed!!! thanxxx for ur constant help!

  • You can check it easily. Go to android market, log in to your a/c, click on your desired game and it will tell you if it is compatible with your gio. If it won't be, market will inform you that this app/game is incompatible with your device.

  • The upgrade available is 2.3.3 gingerbread. You sure it was 2.2.4?

  • it was kpa in all fields. like pda:kpa/phone:kpa etc.

  • Did you update your Kies? It does give Kies update first and then when you're done with updating kies, it will give you gingerbread update. If nothing works then taking set to customer service of franchise you bought set from would be a better option and I'm sure they will upgrade it in no time.

  • can u tell me what msg do u get when therez a gingerbread update available?

  • aaaaann :( :( !!!!!what is wrong wid my Kies!!!! it instantly gives the kies update!! but it doesnt give the gingerbread update!! d most it does is give a firmware update saying something like PDA:KC1/Phone KC1....etc etc!!! y not the gingerbread update!!! :( :( i guess somethings wrong with my phone then...will have to send it to teletec i guess :(

  • grrrrrrr!!!!!what is wrong wid my Kies!!!! it instantly gives the kies update!! but it doesnt give the gingerbread update!! d most it does is give a firmware update saying something like PDA:KC1/Phone KC1....etc etc!!! y not the gingerbread update!!! :( :( i guess somethings wrong with my phone then...will have to send it to teletec i guess :(

  • is it possible to play battlehearts in this phone?

  • got my upgrade by going to Kios (ginerbread 2.2.4)works good

  • yes newer gios support flash and gingerbread 2.2.4(upgradeable)

  • yes you can play angry birds on gio. go to android market, log in to your a/c, click on your desired game and it will tell you if it is compatible with your gio.

  • Yes, from Pakistan and it is available here. Make sure if your kies is updated. The latest kies version is 2.1.0.11095_121. Update kies and it will inform you of firmware update hopefully.

  • is it possible 2 play 3d games & angry birds on da samsung galaxy gio

  • I had the same problem and re-installed Software. Now its working fine but battery time is not very good.

  • I think adobe doesn't provide flash for armv6 processor (found in gio). That is why it is irrelevant of the OS version. One can get his hands on flash for armv6 by rooting but then it might void your valuable warranty.

  • Yes, it is official upgrade through kies.

  • im having problems with my galaxy gio!! it automatically shuts down..n doesnt restart unless i done take out my battery n put it in again n then switch it on!! i guess its referred to as SOD..sleep of death...anyone else having the same prob?? plzz lemme no..ive noticed it happens only when the wifi is on!! :(

  • how'd u upgrade ur galaxy gio to gingerbread? is it the offical upgrade?

  • how'd u get ur galaxy gio updated to gingerbread? is it the official update? through kies?

  • I've got the phone for a few days now, and I think it rocks. It works very smooth, the respons time is perfect, the Wifi is lightning fast and the screen quality is very good. Up until now I've found only one downside, a common problem for smartphones: the autonomy. Intensive usages brings the autonomy down to a single day... But for this price (only paid �100) it is absolutely amazing. Period.

  • Yes may be it support theoretically but, support not awarded by Samsung even in their official android 2.3.3 gingerbread update for Samsung galaxy gio, any one else having this issue???????

  • Had it bout a week, fantastic phone! Only thing I can find to complain about it is the battery life. It can't take heavy usage. I've had to charge it twice on the same day. Should be ok once the novelty of apps wears off, but even with average usage I've had to charge it every second day.

  • Qualcomm QCT MSM7227-1 Turbo 800 MHz processo.... It supports flash player.

  • No Adobe Flash Player support even AFTER updating to android 2.3.3(official) gingerbread.!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS THIS SAMSUNG??????

  • I have this phone since 6 months it's a smart phone with low price i loved this phone and the battery life is very good and faster than galaxy ace in some games and apps with the 2.3.3 android update

  • When i am upgrading my firmware to gingerbread through samsung kies then the download file compltes but hangs in firmware upgarading process how can i upgrade it?

  • My phone is brand new and the battery life is horrible. Going back to HTC next time. Your specs are a lie Samsung!

  • Gio after Gingerbread... Double G's! It's a perfect match!

  • This is actuaully a very awesome android smartphone, its cheap and have all kinds of cool feature except the battery is a bit bad but just buy 1 or 2 extra battery. it works awesome for me i bought it in 11 march 2011 and so far there are no problems for me, it works awesome.

  • which one in better galaxy gio or galaxy ace i wanna buy one of them please help me?

  • I'm using gingerbread on it (it came with it). Still horrid battery life. They do NOT match the specs Samsung advertises.

  • headphones work as an antenna

  • download yahoo messenger with plug-in from market for video calls through back camera but it consumes lot of internal storage

  • Can i zoom photos in this mobile.?

  • as this phone doesn't have a front camera, it's not possible to make video calls

  • How do you get the FM Radio enabled on this unit? I can't seem to find it anywhere?

  • It is much faster and the quadrant score is impressive as it beats nexus one and galaxy s score. worth the upgrade

  • Go to My Files and open the folder where you have stored songs. Click the menu button there and press Share. Then select Bluetooth. Check the songs you want to send and proceed. I hope it helps.

  • Yes you can upgrade it to gingerbread. The spec sheet also mentions this. Those who have done it have reported improvement in battery life, wifi and overall performance. You can search on the internet for more details.

  • can this phone make an video call??

  • i just want to ask if someone is calling you and you did not answer that call, is it the caller can leave you a message with this phone? if so, how?

  • Hallo , please advise how do i send music via bluetooth and also how do i set songs in my music file as a message alert tone ? Thank you

  • samsung galaxy gio its very owsome.

  • im about to buy a sumsung gio s5660 phone, is it a wise choice?

  • How can I update to 2.3 officially?

  • please upgrade firmware to Gingerbird. It will solve issues of crashing. All smart phones need to recharge everyday when we are using wifi networks.

  • Looks good on paper. That's about it. Terrible battery life. Worst in its category probably. Problems with crashing during camera use. Samsung needs to kill or fix touchwiz.

  • i realy like this phone but i don't know if I want it.....please tell me

  • It cost 150 euros in Belgium. For the price it's a good phone. If you want more it will cost more. This phone run fast, take nice pictures, has a good internet navigator and is really capable to read email. It's a good phone.

  • Im having fun wth my Gio yea the battry lyf sucks bt im a student aund it accomodates me but one huge problm is the amount of airtym it chows for wat i still dnt knw, othr than that im kwl wth it its bttr then using a curve. If anyone knws abt the airtym do tell as its irritating

  • Thinking about getting the Gio, please tell me if I should go for it or any other opinions please, everything will help me cuz I dnt want a junk phone for 24 mnths

  • Oh and just an hour ago, the phone crashed and restarted itself just because I was trying to take a picture with the camera. Lesson learned: NEVER look at just specs when it comes to Samsungs. Complete garbage.

  • Man Samsung REALLY inflates their battery life estimates. I just got this phone a few days ago and it can barely last a day with minimal use. I can't even imagine how fast it'll die when the battery gets older. Ugh going back to HTC next time. Their specced battery life is worse but the actual battery life is at least closer to the spec.

  • sofar this pone is being grat

  • Hey i was thinking of get a Samsung Galaxy Gio and i was just woundering if i should get it my friend got a new samsung phone and it looks really cool (i think it is a Gio) but reading some of the commets people say its really bad and the battery life runs out in 4 hours if you can tell me if sould get one that would be great thanx

  • As far as battery is concerned, i must say that it will get better if you charge the battery more than u do.. mine goes on for 3 days normal use!! :)

  • It stays active for 120 seconds while searching for something to pair with. Once it pairs, it will remain active

  • thnxxxx mickey...

  • get the nokia, the android is nice but this is a cheap mobile and the battery does not last long only with wifi on. If you can afford a more expensive android is ok, otherwise buy the nokia. I bought this Gio last week and i need to recharge daily and i am not into games or talking..

  • Regarding the Samsung Gio, I would only recommend it to you if you were curious about what it's like to have the worst phone on the planet. It's constantly freezing on me, especially during calls and when trying to take pictures or video. None of my apps update, and sometimes the damn thing even randomly loses some of my contacts! It doesn't matter how much memory you clear or how often you use your task manager; nothing can hide the true piece of garbage that is this phone. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this product!

  • Get your Gio checked. 4 hours is way too less! With wifi/bt/games/songs/vids etc. it should last at least a day. And it does!

  • A day or two is quite reasonable for smartphone if you use wifi/bt/gps/games along with calls/msgs.

  • Go to Market, download it and use it!

  • Some of you claim the battery "sucks" but most phones are like that if you constantly have the WiFi, BT, GPS and every feature on all the time. Especially gamers & 3G surfers. We have 4 Smart phones in the family and all are like this if being used heavily. My Gio did fine on a 6 hr road trip with GPS on and no charger, only battery power all the way.

  • I have one of these and I'm quite pleased with it. It has android 2.3, the 800mhz processor makes it work great-live wallpaper,apps in background and a foreground game work s fluently. Basically besides the low internal memory and the ~100mb ram available the phone is great. And the price range... the next step is about 150� away. So if you like the way out looks and have the money, go for it, I think it's worth it.
