  • i am unable to read the message or the missed call, out going or incoming call . the dialled or received nos. does not shown by the mobile. tell me the function so that i can see the last call made or received.

  • I want to block certain messages. How can I do that.

  • it is awesome model

  • how can we turn off packet data internet connection in this mobile

  • Yes I agree, I am too using this phone from 4 yrs. It fell into water completely. Samsung said, I need to replace the mother board & it costs 5000 Rs, as it was not under warranty. I got it repaired from local repair shop & this is still working.

  • Yes it does, I'm using it

  • hold mobile switch off button 2 sec. and select data network mode.....

  • I have my Galaxy Apollo, please help me with an information how can I turn off the data connection. Thanks

  • I've had it for over 3 years, its a pretty decent phone, very good for it's price range. The camera is not too great and the GPS always takes some time to fix, even after some tweaking. the gps is very precise though (I'm a geocacher, usually we go in groups and I can tell you I've never seen one more precise than this). The battery, I seriously don't understand why everyone is complaining. Beats most phones out there. When it was new it lasted for over a week, now it lasts about 3-4 Days with average use. The least time it lasted was about 12hours during a 600 miles trip, among a few average calls, I was using GPS and 3G all day, and I really mean ALL DAY! The GPU is bad, this phone can't handle heavy games but since I mostly use GBA emulators its ok. Overall its a good phone, if it were lost and I found one for cheap enough I would definately buy it, even after 4 years of it being launched. Also, I should add, It was pretty easy to root and unlock, and it handles custom roms pretty well, also overclocks to about twice it's default clock (1,2Ghz), if you dare to.

  • it is a marvelous phone for users

  • this is a good phone. i have one and i have been using it since jan 2011. and it has never been broken or anything

  • i want 2 buy this phones any problems

  • Ram

  • o meu samsung 5801 o youtube deixou de funcionar alguem me explica como reparar problema? obrigado

  • I am using this phone from past 3 years and it is really nice. Because of low memory i am planning to go for new smartphone.

  • Best phone i have ever seen m using it since 4years

  • hw cud u root it kindly explain me too...

  • i was using this phone from last 3 years. t was quite good and its working properly now also. But right now am forced to change because of low internal memory. This phone gives me a nice experience on android. Now am going to root it to android jelly bean.

  • You can buy it without any doubt, its been 3 years and so far i hav faced no problems...!!!!

  • Hey help me I desided to buy this phone is it agood phone is it work properiy

  • goto samsung service center where you can update the os.

  • i hate this phone . very bulky , fat slippery . baadd camera . earphones useless, after use of it for a year it stops working . phones get very slow. battery lasts for just half a day. i want to get rid of it badly and get a phone which is not touch screen. fed up .

  • i hv also this phone plz tell me how i update it eith froyo

  • This smartphone is good since it is one of the earliest smartphone of samsung. Yes there are demerits of this phone it hangs frequently, its memory. Even though its camera is good. This is not bad.

  • battery problem

  • This phone is three years old with a single core processor. So, it will always be too slow to run the latest versions of firmware or software - designed for two or more cores. Don't believe tales of rooting giving fast speeds, overclocking - will eventually wreck it, and installing Ice Cream Sandwich. It will do the things a good phone would do three years ago, and that's all. If all you need is a phone, acceptable camera, GPS, radio, wireless etc. this will do it. Battery life is as good as you make it using software utilities. I can make mine last 10 days by not using internet or wireless. It is also a much stronger phone than the current crop and better made, although thicker than more recent offerings. I work outside most of the time and am very active - no problem with this baby. I'll be very sorry when it breaks!

  • I'm having this mobile. This mobile support ordinary SIM but not mini. Internal memory will be exhausted to 256MB after upgrading to FROYO.

  • yep it can support 64 k sims

  • This phone(s**t) dosnt support 64k bit sim card.

  • samsug gt 15801 saro fone ave se

  • Good phone ! Only problem is its less memory, graphics by software rendering. Install purumod rom, gives you 5days backup for fair use and 8 days in untouched state. All in all, go with other options available in market, you can get better specs

  • hai. . . . guys how to update my phone i5801 galaxy apollo plz tell me any body . . . . . . .

  • This was my first smartphone, used from 2011 to early 2013. While it does its job very nicely and is still a fairly powerful device, it has for the most part been completely superceded by the Galaxy Ace upwards. Its 16m colour screen and 240x400 resolution is still (as of April 2013) better than many entry-level Samsung smartphones, but it suffers by only supporting Android 2.2 Froyo, and many apps - perhaps most notably Instagram - won't work on it. For a good midrange smartphone either get a cheap Galaxy Ace refurbished/second-hand, or pay a bit extra for an Ace 2.

  • Go to forum.xda-developers.com and search for galaxy apollo

  • Can u please tell me how did u install ice-cream sandwich in this phone??

  • Can u please tell me how did u install Ice-cream sandwich in this phone??

  • Using this phone for 2 years... Didnt find a single problem... Only one issue is the ROM cuming by the pack became too slow... but there are so many custom ROM is there for this mobile... I installed ice cream sandwitch ROM and its working really smooth and fast... battery back up last till 2 days... Awsome buy

  • Not good. had it for a year, and it acts live ive had it for five. sometimes, the screen doesnt work (cant use it).

  • Dude do you have any idea what overclocking means? The processor doesnt change. What you do is you change the clock speed of the processor. Normally all mobile processors can be overclocked safely upto twice their gven clock speed. The drawbacks to a faster, overclocked processor are overheating,low cpu life, more battery consumption and a possibility of a blown processor. I ran this phone at 1-1.2 ghz for over a year and except using up more battery, which was to be accepted, i faced no problems at all. That speaks volumes about the quality of the hardware in this device!

  • i would want to know hw it could run in 1gz proccer

  • have had this phone for the past 2 years. rooted n flashed a custom rom about two months after purchase. overclocked it n ran it at 1 ghz for over a year. no issues at all. people cribbing about games not working, understand that this phone is two years old! it has no gpu, a 667 mhz processor n 256 mb ram. how the hell is it supposed to run the latest games? its an amazing phone with a good developers base n good build quality! so if you wanna dabble in custom roms n flashing, get this phone. although current market value shoulb be around 4k. dont pay more

  • hi friends is there is 2.3 upgrade for gt-i5801

  • i had this phone, i warn you this will last you a year tops, like all budget android phones the battery life will kill you, i had issues with it. my battery was so bad that it got to a point where listening to music for 10 mins killed the battery by half, i thought it may have been an issue with the battery itself so i bought a new one, i fully charged it and took one phone call and the whole phone died. The phone has manufacturing issues as with all budget androids, reccomend as a temp phone but not a permanent solution.

  • you can use SD card app from google play store and move ur apps into memory card

  • install app2sd

  • what evr yr choise purchase why go on thers foolish opinion. Be independent at least now...!!!

  • Hi , i need to move all the applications to SD card , how to do it..can any one help me on this.please... Karthik

  • i just rooted my phone..now i need plugins for chainfire3d,where can i find it?

  • Had this for nearly 2 years now. got it for £100 ebay. was last available for £70 payg. For that money, cant fault it, mine has slowed down a bit, mainly apps eating rom. use "battery update" app on main screen, press it every time you use phone, kills apps and saves rom and battery. google sync with mails and calendar/contacts is perfect, never yet let me down. can even play movies on it! Syncs with my mac and my pc. just want a bigger one now, larger screen and more power.

  • Well I have to admit that this phone is good. Having it right now and its decent. But there are drawbacks - 1- If u r a person who works out side in the sun then it will be tough for you to view the screen. 2- Its a low end phone so don't expect it to run high games and you can't install a lot of apps in it cos this will slow your phone. other than the drawbacks mentioned above this phone is pretty descent for its price...

  • dude..if u dont know how to use this phone means..just throw it..dont complain it..u can find better firmware in respective sites for this phone.

  • Hey, As far as I know this mobile is quite worth it. What I did was to flash the rom to Indroid v3.00 lagfix. It's pretty decent, you could experience a magnificent change in your device. The rom is pretty fast, with no lags, battery? No issues, it's way better than the stock rom. For those who expect gaming from this device, I'm sorry it lacks the required graphic drivers to run high end 3D games. But, Thanks to the developers who found this app "chainfire 3d" using which we can reduce the quality and it makes the game playable(as said before, do not expect high end. :P).

  • Iam unable to download the games from this site since it is in russian language.can anyone plz help me out of this .iam browsing from mobile.its asks to sign in

  • Hey, As far as I know this mobile is quite worth it. Though many would suffer battery problems. I, too experienced battery issues, lags, hangs and other issues. What I did was to flash the rom to Indroid v3.00 lagfix. It's pretty decent, you could experience a magnificent change in your device. The rom is pretty fast, with no lags, battery? No issues, it's way better than the stock rom. For those who expect gaming from this device, I'm sorry it lacks the required graphic drivers to run high end 3D games. But, Thanks to the developers who found this app "chainfire 3d" using which we can reduce the quality and it makes the game playable(as said before, do not expect high end. :P). I download games from this site, All the games work smooth, (the site is russian I guess, you should activate auto translator in chrome). And, Many may wonder what flashing is OR how to be done. See this video to flash, It's an easy tutorial by Rudolf(cheers to him),http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY1cySzOh0U&­amp;feature=related. There's no need to think or panic, its really easy and can be done in about 15mins*. To revert back to stock rom, Follow the same instructions shown in the above mentioned video tutorial.

  • i5801 has excellent battery life,ppl who are cursing the phone don't know how to use it ,it gives average 50 hrs of battery with avg use and 35 hour battery with heavy use :),and in minimum use it goes beyond 70 hrs.

  • i also had the same problem. but after these changes it is giving 4 days battary backup. 1) when i dont need internet i disable internet (remove last word 'T' in APN name TATA DOCOMO INTERNET based on u r network remove last word in u r phone offcourse i dont have any another choice to disable it except this) 2) network mode GSM only, 3) reduced brightness to least.

  • I owned I5801. Its battery life really sucks. not even there for 2 Hrs after 100% charge

  • i love this phone very much

  • How you upgrade the android?

What about your set? you are facing the same problem? Or it is only my fault? though I have change battery and also updated the software but the problem is still there. Please let me as soon as possible

  • same problem. ..

  • Worth for money...

  • hi, I5801 is a android phone. i would count it as a big + if the battery lasts any where around 2 days. androids, bbrys, iphones are known to drain batteries rapidely... it would give you hardly a days backup if you consistently use GPRS,WiFi and GPS....

  • how can i install a new version 2.2froyo

  • is this model support themes,pls reply

  • Hai friends, I am new to samsung galaxy I5801. I have to ask to questions 1.Is this phone have default call recorder? If it does´t have default call recorder whitch is the best call recorder in the market. 2. after upgrading to android o.s 2.2 is this phone will support to live wall papers? Somebody please answer me, thanks in advance.

  • hello funds.. I have upgraded my phone to 2.2 froyo working good but have some problems..after opening the contacts back button does not work (has to go back by pressing home key) but contacts and dialer are opening v v v fast than before..second problem is that plugin contents( animations r not viewable from opera mobile,dolphins,and from other browsers..but I have noticed that size of the opera mobile is shown 9.98 mb (on froyo )but on previous vr.I.e on eclair it was nearly 23-24 mb...why it is so.... but me tell u this is a best mobile in this range..more than options one p500.. thanks

  • going to buy new phone.. plz suggest which one... galaxy 3 or fit??? battery backup is really sumthing...........

  • Hey you have to turn off unwanted applications that are running in the backend particularly GPS. Its not a simple mpbile phone. It do have an operating system and it supports multi tasking. So once we open an application it will not close until we close it manually. I had downloaded "Android Assistant" a free application from the android market. By using this application I can kill the unwanted or opened applications. This will save the battery back up. Even in the accounts settings you have to uncheck "back end data" option.

  • hey friends, i use this phone, good phone. All things works properly.no problem. But a small problem that its battery backup is very low.i have to charge my mobile everyday. But if i off gps.this problem resolve.overall i like it.

  • hey frnds plzz tel me that if i upgrade anroid version is there any problem occurs?????

  • I bought this phone, little satisfied with 2.1 eclair, after installing 2.2 Froyo on this phone i feel better speed and application support. Good phone...

  • hey dear friend its common in symbian phones too.only the phone browsers can show the plugins but not what we install other browsers they always crash.the phone browser will be the best one always...

  • You need to upgrade OS to 2.2(Froyo) and then you can install apps in SD

  • The problem is that the battery power will lose with time.I asked it with a samsung techie.The only problem will happen to this phone is that the battery back up will lose with time.You can use freely up to 1 may be 2 Years,then sell it and grab a new one.

  • hey 2 and half doesn't make sense to me. All mobils will give it man... I bought this mobile only for battery but i am not satisfied. In the spec they gave 25 days back up, Atleast it should give 5 days backup, if you use it. I charged my mobile fully then i didn't use it. I just kept it in desk. when i saw after a week, it was swithched off. How can they say it gives 25 days backup. It's a false info guys.

  • exactly. SAMSUNG lied to me. It also very slow compared to other mobiles.

  • 6 onths old, only one day for me.

  • I used my mobile for 6 months now I got only 2 days batery backup, if i am not using it to hear music or to call. If i use it gives only one day backup but in the specification they give 620 hours i.e. 25 days. haaaa, it is not even giving half of the specification. very bad. they lied

  • how much days you got battery backup?

  • hey guys pl tel me how to update android version 2.1 to 2.2..I 've been trying through kies but only kies is getting updated and not android... An excellent phone from Samsung corp...its quite superb...

  • Upgrade to android 2.2 Used to happen to me too. used to take 5 seconds to open the dial pad. Once u have apps2sd move ur apps to memory card and the phone will work real fast :)

  • I am owner of SAMSUNG GALAXY 3 APOLLO GT-I5801. I upgraded my device to Android 2.2 Froyo by authorised service centre 2 times. But each time, my Android internet browser as well as any other browser like Skyfire, Opera Mobile, Dolphin and Miren are unable to show plugin content even after enabling plugin content in settings. For example, 'www.cavernsofblood.com', 'www.millaj.com' could not be viewed with animated content after Froyo upgrade. With Android 2.1 Eclair, these websites were easily viewed with animated content after enabling plugin content in settings in Android browser. Most of the websites and links in them now could not be opened after froyo upgrade. All this was perfectly working in Android 2.1 Eclair. In Froyo, while browsing internet websites, a blue coloured cube with question mark sign appears in place of plugin content which is annoying. Kindly help me by providing a proper solution.

  • does this support Video calling?

  • After update there was connection error for GPRS. So finally decided to go with Custom ROM. now using InDroid 4.3 loving it.. :)

  • You have to create settings for your carrier (if there is no automatic settings). Ask this in the cusmtomer care of your mobile operator. Then go to settings>wireless and network> Mobile network settings> Access point name> create new one. If the settings are ok then you can use internet through EDGE or GPRS.

  • Mobile Ap will consume a lot of battery. Best way is usb tethering. Connect your phone to PC by USB cable. Go to Sttings>Wireless and netwrok>Tethering. Enable USB tethering, wait for 2-3 seconds and you are good to go.

  • To answer the question about internet access, for this to work you MUST put the correct settings into the phone for your network provider. You need to look them up an their website. Most providers can send the settings direct to the phone - all you have to do is ask for this via your provider's website. Of course to do this you will need to access the website using a computer!

What I did is that I flashed my phone with the latest asian firmware I5801ZFJPE and after that I connected to the Kies to take my contact back up to my phone. At that time kies said that there is a update available for the firmware and i updated it . Eclair users please try whether you are getting the update.

  • my default browser dosent work properly any another page except google dosent open in 1st time i have to refresh the page3-4 times and the speed is also slow in full range to please help

  • yes u can..

  • Dear Munib, No doubt that it is an awesome phone at such a low price. The Camera and Sound, both will exceed your expectations. However, like other Android Phones, the Battery Back-up would give you little worry. My suggestion go for this phone if you want a budget Android Phone with good features. If you tend to get good Battery Life, check out some other options. Thanks! Prakash Sharma

  • I read in www.igyaan.com that Android 2.2 update is released by Samsung. However, whoever has upgraded their 2.1 (Eclair) to 2.2 (Froyo) faced one or the other problem. If you wish to take a risk to get an upgraded version, please go ahead and have it updated. One more thing I would like to mention here. Android has yet to fix the bugs of 2.1 in 2.2 especially on Battery Back-up.

  • A little correction here. The Battery Back-up is not very decent with this phone. Rest is really okay.

  • No it does not have a camera on its front. In fact all phones with Androi OS do not have dual camera facility.

  • Guys.. Is this mob has a front cam? And some of my frnds told me that the call gets dropped frequently. Is that true? Could you please help me with this.

  • Hi, in galaxy apollo, can we make calls with fring or skype with the ordinary 2g connection???

  • Hi, Try buying skullcandy headphones. It will cost around Rs800/- amazing effects..

  • I think this one is an amazing phone...Picture quality and videos are clear ...music sound quality is good...very handy phone...battery life is good...Internet speed is good...touch screen is very responsive...chatting is easy...overall vfm phone...

  • Go for Samsung Galaxy ACE

  • Guys any idea when the official update of froyo 2.2 will be available for the GT5801 handset???

  • which mobile i should buy? 1 sony ericsson elm 2 Samsung I5801 Galaxy Apollo 3 htc wildfire pls tell me and help me huridly.

  • Overall it's a good phone.. But battery backup is frustrating.. Gets hardly 1 day.. But I think many android phones have the same prob.. Camera is ok and sound quality is awesome.. I expect it would have a better battery backup with froyo around the corner.. *The highlight of this phone is 'swype' which gives more than wat we expect.. I haven't experienced a call drop problem as many have complained.. It's a good phn in such a low budget.. Just go 4 it..

  • is it a good phone. 1 battery backup? 2 camera result? 3 sound quality? please any body answer me.

  • @sumit, you better go to your message setting>you'll find a option stating, convert 160*3 = MMS, say a NO to that, and your problem will be solved, like others are saying you, to download GO SMS or Handscent, i would suggest you to go for Handscent, it has a option where your message pops up even though if your phone is locked. so that kinda very effective, aslo. you must have value added apps in your cell phone be it what ever. untill your phone gets 2.2 up-gradation!

  • can anyone tell me if you are able to switch of the internet access when it is not needed. Would like to purchase this phone but dont want it hooked up to internet all day every day.

  • dwnld go sms surely help u out

  • Hey dude, it is because there are no default APN settings or mobile does not download it automatically. So to get gprs working do the following: first, call your mobile service provider and get APN name and APN Address. then go to settings> wireless and network>Access Point Name. Create a new APN (just name and APN name was enough for me) with details you got from service provider and save. Then tick Use packet data option settings> wireless and network>Use packet data. Your gprs should work.... Have fun with froyo.

  • Hi Guys, How can I ensure 3G has been activated in my mobile - I5801. Im using Vodafone network & they confirmed that it has been activated to my number but I couldn't see the 3G sysmbol in top of the phone i.e. near network signal.... can anyone assit me to sort out this issue....

  • Kies says that "my version of firmware can not be upgraded"!! Does this mean that it is not possible to upgrade or there is no upgrade avilable at the meantime ?

  • Hi friends, please help me. I cant able to send long message, whenever i do that, it automatically convert msg into MMS. Plz tell me, how i can send long msg without converting it into mms.

  • Hi galaxy 3 (i5801) users. Samsung spain have already released 2.2 froyo. Soon going to launch in India. Find the below link

  • is anyone using kies v2??? is tethering possible using this version??? i waz able to do d sam using v1.5 with ease but unable to wid v2 plz help

  • i wish you knew how to type maybe then i could understand and figure out whether or not i should upgrade...

  • I would recommend all users not to upgrade to 2.2. and BEST STAY WITH 2.1. The reason behind is that any updates on mobile always cause problems in using the full features of the mobile. The one key difference i can think of is that some 2.1 andriod handsets cannot retrieve data from SD card (except samsung handset). Reaction wise would be quite similiar. So my final advice is that don't try to upgrade, it is not necessary better for the phone. Read more reviews first if you really wanted to do so. Many thanks Jeff

  • I had recently updated my samsung I5801 Galaxy apollo with froyo 2.2. But now i am unable to connect to packet data connection. While I tried to authenticate it with google servers it doesn,t connect. Plz. solve my prblm.

  • well i brought this phone 4months back,initially it was very good but now battery is draining out very quickly and phone's lagging a lot think before you buy

  • i bought this one, but the battery drained after 2 days, and I absolutely didnt use the phone. Gsmarena informs that standby time is up to 480h, but it WILL NEVER occur. 20 days of standby time is IMPOSSIBLE to any android-touchcreen smartphone. It would be great if gsmarena informed the correct standby time to all phones...

  • This is for all those who are facing battery backup problems. I have purchased a second battery from flipkart.com for rs 490 and an external battery charger of rs 100 from local market.After doing this I am using both the batteries one by one by charging them from external charger. One thing which I have noticed after a month is that when I charge it from the charger provided by samsung, full charge takes about 4 to 5 hrs and the backup which I get is 30-32 hrs max.but when I charge it externally it takes about 12 hrs and the backup is 50 hrs minimum. My gprs is always on, I chat about half an hour a day on gtalk, listen music about one hour, do a lot of surfing, talk about 2 hrs a day and using advanced task killer for killing tasks.

I have test all features like gps problem, call drop problem, and more than 15 new featur...es added/fixed with Froyo. I already flashed with 5800 firmware and new 5801 french firmware. This version is good enough. Altough few bugs are still their. This version is ready to market (RTM). This update will be available soon via KIES. Please do not go for custom flashing, it may damage your phone and warranty.

  • Guys im plaaning to buy galaxy 3 wud u plz lemme knw that wat is the diff. btwn apollo & galaxy 3..plz help

  • Thanks Rajesh.. same answer I got from Vodafone customer care. VMC charges are very high.. Rs.199 monthly rental and still you to pay data charges like 5p/10kb. OR Rs.499 rental for just 500MB. They are giving 2gb for prepaid users at rs 95. what an injustice!!! I'm just waiting for number portability to happen here and will be moved out of nonsense vodafone. btw I bought a docomo yday and using it in my sg3. For Rs 90, you can enjoy 200MB / month, that too 3G. It is amazingly fast..

Good reception of towers, wonderful battery life (I used make lot of calls per day.. this mobile's battery awesome) Camera 3.1 ok not bad, audio player, good, but not good when compared with sony ericsson. on call, ear piece speaker quality is good even on busy areas. Loud speaker is ok, handset (OS) speed is so good when compared with other mobiles. applications are good, there is lot of free application in android market, its free too. solid cover, i doped twice, but no serious damage, works fine too. Display is so good, even on sunlight. touch screen is amazing with multi touch. I used, nokia 5800( touch screen is so hard, we have to use stick, audio player is not that much good as samsung i5801), N72( waste model) sony ericsson XPERIA X10 mini pro( Good mobile, but battery backup lacks, sucks, but audio quality is incomparable on headset) Samsung Wave723 (Camera is good, rest waste) friends if u need it with keypad go for samsung galaxy 551 i5510, but remember battery is not that much good as i5801 Good luck with your mobile search.... additional information sony ericsson w715 is good, if you are sony ericsson lovers like me

  • NO..If battery is already 99% it shld not take 3.5 hr actually in normal charging wen it reaches to 99% it takes 1 more hr to reach 100% n same for discharging(though this problem is solved in froyo :)) as i said i did not loose imei and mac address and yes u can rollback the process of updation for that u will hav to backup ur original firmware which u can flash back if required.

  • @bunty Thanks bro!!! but still one question is in my mind... my battery was already 99% when i put it on charge... so does it take 3.5 hrs more to get 100%??? Q2 Has Samsung released froyo update..? I believe no.. so if I update my phone to froyo.. from the black market... would that harm my phone... and if does then plz tell how to rollback the changes???

  • i admitt phone is super fast after update,played angry bird and its better than before at any time as in eclair it used to hang a bit in few levels at starting ,now i dont feel any lag, one more thing im surprised abt is internet now browsing has dramatically improved perheps due to flash support or i dont know what but its really very fast ,pages are loading smooth and faster,playing youtube natively on page is amazing,i must say phone has improved dramatically for hardware concerns. ITS WORTH DOING UPDATE! :)

  • go to recovery screen and delete cache and wipe data.... and reboot.. it would be speedy, coz my froyo is 2 times faster

  • normal avg specification...but ow noumber 1 in the gsm arena forum...hhaha...beat my samsung wave ..

  • i knew as it would be no.1 , people would try to vote it down... but atleast it touched 1st......thats enough.. samsung wave was 1st from 6 months.... now the trend broke... no matter ppl would vote it down soon due to jealousy.. coz there are not much supporters of this phone that can vote good, but i think rivals are many.. spl. nokia n8 and samsung wave

  • i told everyone that this would become no. 1..hahahhaha now check the rankings on gsmarena.. its number 1... finally samsung wave came 2nd...

  • facd sam prob. download latst version of kies frm samsungmobile.com.. wrkd 4 me..

  • uninstall the kies you are using and install the one given in cd and dont upgrade after that even if it asks you my updated kies doesnt detect my phone old version does.

  • I have got Galaxy 3 about couple of months back. Since then I am not able to connect it to computer using Kies software. It can neither get connected through cable nor through bluetooth. Has anybody faced same problem. Has anyone found solution to this?

  • i have casted the 1000th vote for the galaxy 3... now it should be included in the rankings list.. and according to the points , it deserves 1st or 2nd position with 8.8,8.9 and 8.9 points respectively

  • im very frustrated with samsung after sales service. Samsung sucks. Thr motto is only to make money. Tey dnt care customers. Samsung support staff n customer care also. I have got faulty i5801 my cell is wit them 4m 2months. Havent still got. No android 2.3 gingerbread update forget 2.3 i5801 stil havent got official froyo 2.2 update bt lg optimus one is getting android 2.3 gingerbread update.

  • yes. I do agree wit u lg optimus one p500 is way better than samsung i5801. I m gonna buy lg optimus one instead of i5801, its availaible for only 12,200 rs. For such good specs. A lot of game can b played in optimus one because hvga resolution 320x480 which i5801 240x420 cant. Why go for i5801 wen optimus one is availaible at same price. I recomen evry1 should go for optimus one.

  • Which is the best task killer in android market for this phone.....i used advanced task killer but every time i kill an app it decreases the memory....and i need to reboot the phone again....plz help me wid this query

  • which is d latest version of kies for galaxy 3

  • The forum said that it work for I5800 and not for 2.1? which firmware and model u r using?

  • here is the lagfix for the samsung galaxy 3..... this makes the phone better in quadrant scores than nexus one 2.1 and desire2.1 and the droid.... which is great thing...... now there is no reason to take lg optimus one, this is fastest phone now..... greatest..... lagfix makes it the better than 1ghz phones, now what is lg optimus one in front of this???

  • lg optimus p500 is getting android 2.3 gingerbread update which is nt in case of i5801. So i highly recomn new phone buyers go for lg optimus p500. Dnt trust me check yourself d specs. Optimus is way better than p500 at same price.

  • hey those who are recommending optimus, optimus is only better in having froyo and possibly resolution , but it also has user available memory of 170 mb as in galaxy 3, so its a matter of time to upgrade to froyo...this is best android at this price,,
