  • i used it for 2 years and yesterday i reset the phone bt after reset it gets off i changed battery bt nothing happens is anybody faced this problam ever please suggest wt could b the possible problam

  • Hi there let me ask u, is the handset generally a bit slower performing some tasks apart from the camera? because what ur experiencing might be a Software issue which is quite normal and expected after almost 2 and half years,, the best thing to do about it is to backup ur contacts on the SIM and any data files on the SD card then you do the reset thing.. go to settings - reset settings - choose to reset all fields there. please note that by doing this everything on the device will be back to its factory settings. by the way.. before u do the above,, please try to check if there has not been any physical damage occurred to the handset generally and the camera part in particular. hope it helped! cheers

  • Hello everyone I have found a simplest method to install java apps/games onto this mobile.pplease follow the foll instructions 1 by 1... 1) Download "ftp lite" onto ur cellphone. If unable to download then follow this step-->Open your phone's browser and go to this URL , view page like this, click "Download by ID".Enter this Id-614013. Allow it to download and install. 2)Create a folder of the application/game you want to install.Remember that you should have both .jar and .jad files in ur folder. If don't then create .jad file using JAD converter software.now,Move folder to your mem card using PC Studio/Mass storage. 3)Go to Menu->applications->Games and more. you should see the "ftp lite" icon there. click on it. it should open. now check the option "Allow ,ask once". Open the mmc option . Copy the folder which you moved in your mem card. click back option on right bottom. 4) Open "Private-my files/.." option. Paste your folder here. and exit now. 5) dial *#6984125*# 6) choose internals option. Enter *#9072641*# as master key and confirm it. 7) go to storage settings. Update java database,media database,application database. Lastly click create AX data file. Exit now. 8) go to menu->applications->games and more. you can see that your java folder has been installed. Enjoy!! * remember that you should install 1 folder at one time* pls give ur feedback to my invention

  • i have problem with the touch screen that locks. Lock button cannot help to resolve. Other buttons are functioning except touch screen. anybody can help me?

  • You first install samsung new pc studio, (u get with phone) connect your phone to the pc and select open with pc studio on your phone. Click on the little phone icon, and you go on from there. You can drag stuff from the "my computer" icon or straight from your pc. I usually drag it to "other files" . When the transfer is done, disconnect the phone from pc, go to the others file (Menu - my files - Other files) select your app, then follow through to install. When you're finished installing, go to Games and more under applications and you should see your app there to be opened. Enjoy! Oh, and you could delete the app under other files since as it's already installed, to save space.

  • well my comment on this cellphone is ok but the touch screen is too slow not like the sonny or iphone. but for me it is enough to buy a hightech phones it is important i can communicate through text or calls for some important matters or business.

  • This is well and truly the worst phone I've ever owned. It has a lot of nice little features scattered about but nothing of truly any use to a serious user. I was pleasantly surprised by the music identification feature and other little things like the smile sensing camera. The screen is another misery altogether - I had to push with great force sometimes to select a small icon while browsing - the phone has limited multitasking capabilities and cannot be customised to great extents. The predictive text is among the worst I have ever seen: just because I need to type a specific word into the dictionary because I need to use it occasionally doesn't mean that it should propose that as the primary option every single time. Another thing: the dictionary seemed to decay with time - I swear that every time I wanted to type "are" it would suggest "Ase". Ridiculous - if you value your sanity don't buy this rubbish phone. As soon as I get my Blackberry I am going to drive over this phone with my car - it is already broken - the touch screen stopped functioning entirely over a week ago. I can't make calls, read messages, or back up my contacts. Rubbish.

  • can you how to install java apps!

  • I like me the tv star but no contain wifi, yet the 5233w yeah

  • NO Wifi...only bluetooth... Browser is also too good..you can even save images and also watch youtube videos..but some videos loose their clarity while playing in this mobile Vincent :-)

  • Hi guys, I have been using Samsung Gt-S5233S Star, for about 8 months now. I am very happy with the mobile so I just wanted to post my experience with this mobile. Before you go further into my review, let me clear one thing that I am aware about Android, Windows Mobile, Bada and other top OS for mobiles. But still I have my opinion about this mobile, so I am expressing my opinion. I have even added a 8Gb memory card to my mobile with 2 movies and 12 video songs, which are all 30fps and high quality videos. And I have never seen this mobile getting stuck while playing them. though the screen size is small, you wont feel that's a big issues as video clarity is good. But while playing the videos, the touch screen response is too bad as the processor is completely used by the application. It has document viewer(no editing), for office tolls. But its just a joke ;-) Its audio clarity is extremely satisfying while using Ear phones, but loud speaker is a joke. Camera clarity is too good if we take the picture in the day light or when the surrounds are bright enough. Videos taken by this mobile are again not up to the mark, but they will do :-( Screen touch or screen reception is not the best, but good. If you want to know anything more, just post your question, and I will try to answer them as soon as possible. Vincent :-)

  • wow i never believe my eyes as i brows tru the phones menu

  • ey guys! you know what? s5233 is one of the best basic phones that u can have. if you have one, better get a firm grip on it. it's cool. 3.15 mp built in cam ain't that bad. i guess you notice a foggy or unstablized image after a shot on your screen review, its not what you think it is. its just that, the s5233 screen isn't calibrated with tha actual pixels your phone is capable of.of course images dont look so good during night time, but on evenly lighted environment images a better than what you are expecting to have. try to deviate from reviewing your shots on your phone..download your pictures on your computer and youll see the difference...

  • it's a very good mobiile for it's price

  • it is awesome but the touchscreen

  • i highly recomend that plz do not buy this phone. go for nokia 5230 - best phone @ 7500.

  • hey guys how is the music quality of s5233t in earphone.

  • Samsung is crap, trust me. I have a friend who bought an S5230 in March and he changed the display four times till now.

  • oh...the messaging capacity, thats the inbox msg capacity is terrible... gets full with barely 100msgs... its terrible... music and browsing is good though... battery is ok... better buy a nokia....

  • looks great,feels great,all in all good phone!how do i get sabc on the phone?

  • It's not a loud phone, even my fart sounds louder than this piece of scrap

  • the camera is great at day,the sound is great if the quality of the music file is great,it is simply a very fun phone,it is like mans second best friend

  • the phone is awesome the only problem is that the camera doesn't take clear pictures and it scratches very easily.

  • no 3g? bad fone

  • Great Fone....in all ways...my only problem is the Camera, the fotos are not so clear(the luk shaky) n u can't use it at night....evryting alse is perfect.

  • Sam 5233star actually bad phone,touchscreen cannot proper work,charging facility very.it bad to me.sweet rose dev.+8801671561171

  • yes many from many sites. cute phone ya.

  • mp4 formats surely works.. you can convert any video files using E.m total video converter 3.12/mp4 higher quality with 320x240 resolution. I have seen many downloaded avi,mkv and dvd formats films converted on my samsung gt5233s. Its a cute phone

  • Not a bad desien. but the internet is very bad. it give the good facylity of fake call. but battery backup is not good. it's not bad. but not a great deal. VICKYRAJ.

  • wich better ... Samsung S5233T with Analog TV or Samsung I6220 with Digital TV receiver ???

  • WELL I and my famaly few days ago had gone for tour of east India there I snaped more that 1500 photos I found that camera of this mobile is better that orignal cameras. easy functions but sound is not better than Nokia mobiles. So It is good for photo but not for music.

  • download video converter to convert all videos..I recommend avs video coverter 6... got this phone a month ago and working fine.... its a users friendly. love it...

  • do not buy this phone if you plan to upload 320 kbps MP3s

  • I downloaded opera mini 5 but its built in browser is better

  • i've been using samsung mobile for the past 4 years, it have'nt given me any problem at all.thats ayoba

  • I just bought my samsung S5233T last may 3, 2010. After 10 days (may 13, 2010) i brought this to service center because the battery was easily drained. It takes of 16 hrs of battery life even if in standby mode PURE TEXT only and it takes 3.5 hours before fully charged. After 2 weeks of waiting the service center was decided to changed the battery. A few days after i got the new battery and observed my celfone i found at that no difference happened its the same problem. I came again to another service center (May 27, 2010) to check my celfone, and after 3 days of checking my cel to service center they told to me that my cel was ok. I got my cel and after a week of observation until now June 5, 2010 it was the same problem nothing was happened to my cel. I'm so tired and very disappointed why was the service center can't do their job! It was very inconvenience to me i'm from province, i make a long distance calls and went to manila to follow up what's update to my cel and after i got it twice and called many times nothing was changed its the same problem! Its full of headache due to my samsung S5233T!

  • Got one, nice phone, but does not support wma, mp4 video formats etc. I would be happy if somebody proves me wrong.

  • does the phone support mxit?

  • the phone is good but you cant download apps and if you have a # from the US you cant activate the phone tracking device because it's a foreign phone. With the songs thet have programmed in the phone makes it hard for you to assign ringtones without deleting your own files to make space even with a memory card.

  • Got my phone yesterday. I absolutely love this phone. Very user friendly. If you want wallpapers for this phone go to www.mobile9.com they have 1000's plus other stuff too.

  • hey my birthday is in a few days ,do you think i sould buy this phone?

  • Which one is a good deal between this model and nokia 5233?

  • hi! gud day! i am one of the user of samsung star phone &i knew this is a gud choice for me but i have a problem regarding it coz i used it for only 4 mos. since i bought the phone, everytime i switch off, it automatically switch on agen & agen so i started worrying about this, i encountered only this for the past 3 wks, and i don't know y? and the battery easily become low even it is fully charged. What shall i do, i tried to report this on the cp outlet but still they told me there's no problem wid my phone.

  • so u advice me not to get it

  • Samsung S5233T screen When you use it in sunlight you can't read screen..I have also Nokia E52. With E52 there is no reading problem in sunlight.

  • I use S5233T since 7 days. Analog tv tuner is very good. You can save battery life when you put off screen light. Battery is 1000 mah. Samsung could use a 1500 mah.. You can record also TV programs. But you must use a big memory card.Fm radio is good but why you can't open with tv antenna.Radio asks every time earphone. Camera is medium quality.. You can download java softwares from mobile9.com. Video 15 fps. It has no wlan and 3g.. I hope In the future Samsung will make a perfect tv phone with analog tuner..

  • I bought Samsung 5233S in India.The phone is nice.I am now using it for a week.The sound quality is good.The price of the phone was 7200.For this price the phone features are good.This has a stylus attached to the phone.The touch screen is good.Overall,if you want to go for a touch screen at this budget go for Samsung Star.The hands are more than enough to use the touch screen.You will hardly need the stylus. Some findings which i did on the phone. Before connecting to PC through USB cable. Go to Settings -> Phone Settings -> PC connections-> select mass storage and Save. Then the memory card will be read without any software installed on PC. To silent the phone, when a call arrives,you have to hold the volume button. In the silent mode of the phone, you have a vibration intensity, where you can increase the intensity.
