Sam, would you mind elaborating on this? Which rooting method did you use? And which ROM? Any specific tweaks you recommend? Is it possible to expand RAM?

PROS: - indestructible, I'm a blacksmith and this has been my phone for about two years and it has been through everything you can imagine and more, including fire, water, grease, being stomped by cars more than once, welding sparks, falling from big hights, everything. There's no breaking this phone. - All the hardware buttons are comfortable and as durable as the rest of the phone. - Pretty reliable and easy to use even with greasy or wet fingers. - The main camera is really good for a 5mp one, although kind of slow. - The battery is good for normal use and can be replaced, although I'm still using the original one. CONS: - the internal memory is a real problem, installing the basic apps is imposible if not rooted. Rooting is easy and linking or moving apps to your SD "fixes" most issues although I've had a few problems with missing linked apps. - The cover for the USB connection at the bottom gets broken and lost kind of easily, I've changed it a couple of times in the past two years and I just gave up, it's still resists everything without it, even liquids. - Slowest boot ever.

I use this phone about 2 years , and only negative side is the low memory size,after uninstalling all other apps,there are still too low memory for needed apps,and i don't mean any games or stuff. But otherwise no serious errors or something like that. Good battery ,and still working after every day in industrial dusty atmosphere.

Hi. Could you give a step by step guide for the process. I am not at all savvy but would appreciate the help. Tks

Sam

The negative comments are obviously by people that lack experience and knowledge when it comes to android opertingsystem and IT. If you knew how to optimize this device properly (i got one today in 2017 for free in perfect condition) I rooted it, tweaked it a bit a and it works flawlessly even now in 2017. I recommend doing research and learn something, it's not hard at all. This device as I made it right now can even be used daily today. Yes, it's that fast, smooth and has extra ram+storage.

Bad experience

This was the worst phone I ever had and the reason I will never trust s Samsung agsin. useless. No memory Poor build quality - not water resistant after 1 month.

I have inserted a 16 GB external SD card but i could change the setting of camera to memory card. It automatically changes into "device memory". I cannot capture more photos and video due to storage problem. Please suggest me something to fix this problem so that i can change my setting of camera permanently to "memory card".

Tom

This phone is absolutly undestructive (if you are trying to destruct it in normal ways :D ) I can throw it about 7meters high then it fall on asphalt and nothing happen to it. Performence is nothing special, rather pretty slow.. but it worth this undescrutibility. love it. Thomas - Czech Republic.

I had the same issue plus a battery disconnected error from time to time, and solved it by cleaning the battery contacts (changing the battery may also work if that fails) It is somehow related to battery contacts not touching the ones on the phone properly. Also it seems to be a common isssue for samsung phones.

Sorry, you can't. Unless you are prepared to spend a lot of time, take some risks and nullify your warrantee.

I got past the small size by flashing a pre-rooted rom and partitioning my SD card. But then I was 'surprised' that there's no gyroscope either! Cmon, I was gonna use that! If you get past the small storage and the reflective screen in the sunlight, and the lack of some other features in the specifications, it's a pretty good phone and it'll last a long long time for you.

AnonD-582381

I have Xcover 2 for some time, and knew about it's memory issues, so first thing I did was rooting. Rooting fixed those issues only for temporary period. Basically if you don't want any issues with low memory, just do not install any games or unnecessary apps! Phone doesn't save installed apps on card! Everything else is kinda okay. It's performance is on par with S3 Galaxy Mini whom I have too. It is indeed very reliable and sturdy, however I've managed to smash the digitizer anyways... Battery life is acceptable, and there's no problems with the battery. I love this phone, especially the design, but it's kinda sad, I've managed to scratch it up so badly.

Indeed a great smartphone!! But it is not understandable why they only spent 1 GB RAM. With this limitation you can hardly have a browser, a GPS app and your collaboration apps on the phone and this is the absolut minimum for a 'outdoor smartphone' If they even would have spent 2 GB or offer an upgrade possibility, this would really be an outstanding simple outdoor phone

originally had a Samsung xcover1, bought excover2 as an upgrade (both off eBay unlocked), i already assumed there was going to be apps i wouldn't use on it so not a problem so installed a reasonable maintenance app (360) and run it often, moved everything i could storage wise to external card, mainly installed apps that sat on the external card, bought after market 2450mAh batteries as from experience with xcover1 the Samsung battery can be almost half that of aftermarket capacity ones... fore warned fore armed as it was... now the reasons i use this phone.. i wanted a fairly simple phone i can change batteries on, make calls, take pictures/video, was weather resistant and ran GPS apps.. this is what this does (for me) very well... I use a gps app called "maverick" that is excellent for my bush-walking/hiking and it uses the two GPS and GLONASS systems at once so in the majority of open areas i get up to 14+sat and in most of the city and gully/canyon areas hardly less than 2, being able to change batteries is good as running the GPS chews power so i swap out batteries and recharge flat ones separately off a power bank/solar on long multi day walks or simply carry 2 extra high capacity batteries for a 1 day walk... in essence i use it more as a gps (60%) and less as a mobile, as others have said its not a fancy, bling phone that is good to show off to others but its fairly good to take outdoors in all weathers..

I have this phone for two years .and for price i paid it it's best phone i ever had .durable and reiable .it has few flaws ;charger plug fell of after two months those are crap and it wont save to memory card (default memory must be phone) but everything else never faild me. Sometimes when im drunk i smash it for fun when my freinds ask what is that phone .totaly worth every penny.Next phone i get will be xcover3 hope that phone is a worthy successor.

not enough memory to install basic apps. to much pre installed apps

After 3 years from purchasing this p of s it is near useless because numerous program fails. It won't let me answer calls, it works only with loudspeaker on, GPS is very slow, alarm clock adds and removes repeat days by itself....only torch is ok, at least I can walk my dog in mornings. Factory reset is done about 10 times.....nothing helps, and I have only 3 small downloaded applications installed from Google Play.

Worst phone ever. Hate it more every day. Memory is terrible.

MRG

Extreme good flashlight, good battery (up to 4,5 day!). Not bad camera. Really waterproof but phone case can open on the side when hit ground then isn't waterproof! Low internal memory (~800 Mb) and no option do install apps on SD card, lot of shitty apps installed, using a lot of RAM (600-700 Mb) without running apps! Frozen screens and suspending is typical. Screen is not scrath resistant.

This Xcover 2 is good for peaple who realy need a phone not for the people who want to show everybody what cool phone I have... My Xcover 2 fall so many times, take some water few times and steal work whith no problem, I do not want a phone that I must be carefull every minute not to fall, not to scratch or if it splash with a litle water must cha ge the phone. Camera is very good for 5 megapixeli 1 G Ram is enough but the only thing that I bothering me is the memory Rom only 1 G and you cant update to many aps but if you use the memory only for the things that you realy need and use you will find out that you have enogh memory. For me is a verry good phone and I recomanded to peapole who do not want a fansy phone. Possible i will by the new model Xcover 3 evan if is no big diference only plus I see is 8G Rom but I will inform after and i hope that is the same quality as these oane.

Yes, free memory is *really* that scarce. Asides from the smallish 4 GB Mem, 1 GB RAM specification, Samsung has overloaded the phone with lots of bloatware and you can't install apps on the SD Card with the stock firmware. Had to switch to Cyanogen almost immediately. Now it's a rather sensible rugged phone.

Anonymous

You cant

Anonymous

The internal storage on this phone is actually quite limited. If there is not enough internal memory free, then apps like the gallery won't open. First make sure that all your pictures and music are on your SD card "External storage". There is a setting in the camera that lets you choose external storage as the place to store new photos. If after moving all your data to external storage you still need more room on internal storage then you need to start uninstalling or disabling unused apps.

Dave CB

Does anyone know anything about the memory capacity on this phone? I have a 32G SD card in my phone at present and the phone still says I have insuffient memory. The phone only has 80 photos on it and 4 songs therefore the issue with the memory doesnt seem correct. I find the online user manual extremely unhelpful as well.

I bought my cellphone at samsung store in Costanera Center in Chile. After a couple of months the charger input cover broke. On the other hand before that the cellphone resisited a couple of heavy falls. After the cover broke it took 3 more months for the charger plug in to stop working. I went to Chile and got Samsung to accept the warantee and they gave a new one. I have been extra carefull but the charger plug in broke again after only 3 months of using it. Design failure or materials failure? Now i am looking without luck to get a nfc charger... nice phone but crapy charger plug in...

Too bad for you. Got mine new for 150EUR. You can get more memory if you root it and use Link2SD app. If you are not brutal with those covers, they wont fall off, mine are holding for around half a year now and everything seems to be fine. For 500 USD you should have rather gone for Caterpillar. I was on tight budget, so 150EUR and this phone still seems to be a bargain deal and would buy again and would reccomend to tech-aware person. For average end-user who dont know how to root and how to SD-CARD everything this phone is a trap though.

1 gb of memory for user is a disaster. Is not supose that a user have to be a programer to use it properly. Additional the lock for charger and headphones have low quality about usage.

Xauf Brasil

bought mine Jan14 $500. Charge cover gone in two month. Will happen to yours, so, no longer waterproof. 1G memory can't hold mine 6-8 critical apps and don't let us use the external SD card for that purpose. Many unused or bad factory/google apps can't be uninstalled to make room. At least camera app allows U to use external SD to keep immages, not enough. Very slow CPU. One lock episode per week. ON/off button solves. My opinion: it sucks for this price.

yeah, exactly the same thing with my xcover 2

I would suggest to stay away. Bloatware included with the phone will take all of its 1GB space within a month, so no updates can be downloaded anymore, and no apps installed. Phone is slow as hell. Battery life is about 10h of light usage with 3G/WIFI on, so rather standard. The device is marketed as a 'tough phone'. It is resistant to falling, surviving falls which would break any other phone. That's about it. The charging socket and audio jack covers had fallen off after 4 month of usage, mind you not ripped off. Just fallen off due to regular use. With those covers gone, the phone is no longer waterproof. Charging socket had to be replaced once, and it needs another replacement now, so the phone is in the drawer. When I asked it to be repaired under warranty I was told I will have to pay for shipping and repairs myself. FU Samsung.

I already posted how I did it: 1) you have to root it. 2) Create, lets say, 5Gb ext2 (or ext3 or ext4) partition on your SD card. 3) Install Link2SD, buy full version. 4) after installing any app, fire Link2SD, clik on app and click CREATE LINK button. Voila, app FULLY moved to SD ! Your only limit is size of that SD card and that ext2 partition.

Due to limited / unbelievably little memory,this brand new phone does not recognize the memory card. According to what I've read, it is a common problem. How can it be sold if this is the case? Surely there has to be a solution????

I wouldn't buy it. I got the XCover S5690, can take a hit but soooo slow and after a short while the battery gave up. After a full charge it will do 13 hours on standby or 2 minutes with WIFI on... :( bad choice. What use is a strong on the outside telephone while the battery is weak???

Gor this phone to replace my broken XperiaV. This is really good phone only if you: 1) root it 2) use link2SD app THE PROPER WAY. I tells you, this is superior phone that has been gimped out by manufactured and its up to smart user to ungimp it.

T-H

This phone is on the brink of useless. Reception is horrible (I have a Nokia E52 as a work phone on the same network for comparison), and battery life is just almost non-existent. The point of a rugged phone is to carry it to the outskirts - but here you'll run out of juice within a day or two. Add to that that it doesn't have enough integrated storage to be able to update apps - and no feature to use the external SD for that purpose. And Samsung? I have no idea how they became market leaders when they do notoriously rejects any ask for help... Buy a S3 or newer and a shitload of batteries in stead!

disappointed custome

this could be a very good phone by the hardware, but the android OS makes it pretty much un-usable. the OS is so full of bugs and errors that it is difficult to fathom, the experience of using this OS is so painful that it is really miraculous that it still keeps selling. tl;dr: good hardware, bad software, would not recommend this phone to anyone

Just broke it! Almost. Last week I threw it against a pasteboard wall - it dug a hole that big and still worked, today it wasn't that lucky and the screen went- but guess what - it still works even with cracked screen!

Scott

Follow the advice earlier on in the posts and root. There's a downloadable app pacifically for the phone from what appears to be an honest website, then partition the SD card using "minitool"; also free to download (the second partition needs to be set as ext2), then install link2sd app and it will then install to an SD card and pre-installed apps can be linked. Still a little worried about the space though as its going down over time on the internal memory. Only 290mbs left!

Anonymous

Takes a beating, but has little memory. The lack of memory and the fact that you can't use external storage for storing apps drives me absolutely crazy. Every day error messages about to little storage. But yeah, takes a beating.

Scott

You can't it would seem. Disable mobile data and use wifi for downloading, keep it on when your at home and most things will be done then; and use mobile data only when you need it. There in the drop down menu at the top of the home page!

Scott

So you can only store apps on the internal memory?! ...I'm concerned if it does work that way then that's the same as my old GT B2710 waterproof feature phone and its certainly all going to be used soon, as there's only 1gb available on purchase!! Bad points: The backs flimsy not rugged or robust, and I've seen it on other Samsungs, it literally snaps on and off! The fancy looking stainless steel lock is almost completely a façade!! Good points: But it is waterproof and looks good in red and black and everything runs very nicely on it so far!

AnonD-128730

Samsung says this is a craftsman's phone and doesn't need memory, which is just a poor excuse. They could allow partial storage of apps on microSD, other phones do. I use Clean Master and have OK memory usage even with quite a few apps, but keep running out anyway. Being water resistant makes the Xcover2 good for biking with e.g. ViewRanger, which uses practically no memory dormant and 28MB running, but then after Facebook and its Messenger have nabbed 55+24 there's not much left for CameraPRO, and then you can't see the pictures you've taken. It was on the Kit-Kat list, which was supposed make better use of the space, but that hasn't materialised. New phone after just 15 months isn't on the cards. Why don't they fix it? A similarly specced Symbian Belle Nokia could blow this out of the sky, if it had a better browser... 4GB internal memory should have been a thing of the past in the Android world years ago!!

Anonymous

I too had problems with memory, uninstalled everything and still couldn't update Chrome any more. Lost my patience and solved the problem by rooting and installing RootAppDelete and Link2SD apps (WARNING - AT YOUR OWN RISK - THIS VOIDS WARRANTY AND MAY BRICK THE PHONE - DON'T BLAME ME IF IT HAPPENS!) RootAppDelete lets you delete the apps that come with the phone - e.g. Flipboard and such (careful not to delete anything tightly integrated with the operating system). Link2SD moves most your apps to the SD card, freeing space for updates/new ones. You need to have some computer skills and access to a PC, as it involves formatting your SD card 1/2 FAT32 and 1/2 Ext2 in order for Link2SD to work. You can achieve this with Minitool or Paragon partition software.

I have an issue, when i receive a text from a person, I open the text, underneath their name the number that is shown suddenly has a letter in front of the number. For example N+44**********, so when I try to send my reply to the message it says number invalid obviously. This only happens to the same contact. I have checked the contact in my contact list, and no letter is there. It has become annoying having to go back and compose a new message every time. Has anyone heard of this problem? Or have a solution?

this phone is crap, i bought it last week and it keeps on losing track of my sim card, : "please insert simcard blablabla..." while the sim card is still in it, in a perfect shape... other problem, the touch screen is crap, maybe because its thicker than other models, anyway it doesnt detect my fingers or whatever a tried to use to make it react so i've got to turn it off and back on everytime to fix the problems. also the stupid fact that u cannot delete the ton a useless apps stored on it is the cherry on the cake. this phone is shit, i'm sending it right back to the seller... samsung is a deception, again.

maneff

Really good phone. Super fast and hard as a rock! To be fully satisfied you should root it, install a custom rom and use external SD card (as the most phones/tablets out there). The I/O performance is amazing! Using link2sd it links all installed applications for a second or less (using class4 sd card)

to stop the data being used up you need to disable the mobile data button ... swipe down from the top of your screen it should be one of the buttons that comes down switch on and off as required remembering that when you download apps remember to setup your updates to download only on wifi connections and know that the data button stops all features such as facebook whatsapp BBM etc from working it will only get calls and sms's

Nominally waterproof phone that can't take being run under a tap. Otherwise mediocre, but good battery life. Not sure the screen will ever look right again. It might be waterproof enough to take in the rain, but I wouldn't trust it beyond that. I liked the Xcover 2 until the water incident, but I specifically picked it because it was waterproof, and compromised on features in order to get that waterproof capability. To find that it doesn't work as promised means I just have a kind of lame compromise phone now, with a screen that may never look good again. It's a real pity, because I have Samsung's B2100, and it is completely, OMG waterproof. Accidentally ran it through the clothes washer: no problem. I'm disappointed that Samsung's quality seems to be so variable.

Open camera-go to settings mark-slide to option STORAGE check if it says Memory card.If it is not,select Memory card and after that pictures and videos will be saved on microsd card. To open memory card-go to menu-go to My files folder-select all files-select extSdCard-that is micro sd.

Worst phone ever! Slow as hell, memory is total crap. No apps installed and allways full. Micro USB cover fell of. Dont buy this crap, and if possible, stay away from any crappy android phone. I won't even recommend android phone to my worst enemy. Oh, and did I mention that the battery is crap? And that the phone is full of bloatware that you can't delete? Root my ass, android makes me sick and vomit. Can't think of any phone, that i need to spend several hours at computer rooting and cracking and partitioning just to make it usable for daily tasks! Don't forget, you only get to take 50 photos and upload 10 songs, when the memory is so full, the phone can not open the default gallery app. But lets not forget that this is the bautiful and open android. This means that i can spend countless hours installing crappy galery apps to find the one that works. Oh, and how cool is that I managed to delete my alarm clock? No need for that in android,because its open and you can root it and install some cyangoen mod or whatever crap you want, to make your phone more slower and less user friendlier. Worst phone ever combined with worst mobile os.

You might wanna try and go under setting, there is a shortcut there named "Developer Options" in there activate your Developer options and tick the box that says something about usb Debugging, and then scroll down and tick the box named for permissions to the sd card and your problem should be solved, if not, take it back to the retailer, then there must be a fault on the device it self

u shold buy s3 case it is the best smart phone from all of these my experience is so good

martin

Its a POS. It has 1g of storage, and every app (like mail, contacts, google search toolbar, samsung apps etc) is eating up that one gig. So you put up some basic apps like FB, navigation and god forbid a game, and you're completely out of space. The funny thing is, that even with 100MB remaining (of the 1gb of the 4+SD) it won't even let me see the photos i took, because there "isn't enough ram". Thats like having a car with a 200l fuel tank, but it will only let you drive with the first 10 then shut off. Useless smart phone.

There is a setting to answer using the home button and to hang up using the power button

Matjazz

I've been googling and found indications that Samsung phones have these feature. I downloaded the S7710 manual and found this on page 104 titled Accessibility: "Answering/ ending calls: �The home key answers calls: Set the device to answer an incoming call when pressing the Home button. �The power key ends calls: Set the device to end a call when pressing the Power button." I know I know RTFM.

If you wanna smartphone with fancy features, cool design and high performance then Galaxy S3 is better choice. However, toughness of Xcover2 is really impresive so if I you have a sloppy hands or just wanna use your phone as underwater hammer, you should choose Xcover2

Matt

THE INTERNAL MEMORY IS NOT 4GB IT'S 1GB! I know Samsung quote it as 4gb but that is just a scam. Pretty shocking. The internal storage space available to the user is 1gb. Rooting doesnt help. Is is possible for gsmarena to update the specs? Or at least add a comment. It's only fair people should be know

Can incoming phone call be answered/denied/muted with hardware keys?

Matjazz

I've been using Samsung B2710 dumbphone for over two year and decided that I'll try a waterproof smartphone. I got used Motorola Defy+ and the longer I used it the more I missed my old phone. After a month I sold Defy. One of the reasons was the lack of buttons and cumbersome position of power button. I'm glad this phone has many buttons and I was wandering if hardware buttons can be used to answer/decline/silence an incoming phone call? It could be pretty annoying being stuck with a ringing phone just because I wear gloves that aren't fancy enough for a smart phone.

Bought it, had it for a month and was glad to be able to return it. Now back to my 3 year old xperia active wondering what to do next. As the old x-active is way better than the xcover2, sticking to the x-active for a while seems a viable option... Samsung: allow apps to be moved to sd!!!!!

Hi, I have done this. I have changed the look of the Smasung Galaxy S4 to make it look identical to the Xcover 2. I've also altered the specifications to match those of the Xcover 2. The size has also been altered accordingly. I will sell you two of them for £1000.

AnonD-128730

The memory problem is a serious achilles heel on an otherwise neat, if not speedy, phone. The issue needs to be addressed because it really does limit the number of useful apps you can have, AND you get irritating messages like "no room for more photos" or something like that - and photos can be stored on the External SDcard. My kid's new Nokia Lumia 520 WindowsPhone 8 device beats it hands down in the photo department though - as long as I don't need flash, that is.

PLEASE BE INFORMED official specification forget to tell you that YOU HAVE LESS THAT 1 Go AVAILABLE(800Mo to be exact) when taking the phone "out-of-the-box". Moreover, since SAMSUNG(unlike HTC,...) forbids usage of "move to SD", this phone become very quickly useless as a smartphone since you can not install apps or keep history of your activity (mails, attachements, web, apps data,...).

I've had mine for a few days now. I think it is a wonderful phone so far except for one flaw. Everything is good except for the internal storage. 4GB is advertised but only 1GB is available to the user, this limits the number of apps you can put on it without rooting. Jelly bean does not allow apps to be moved to the SD card.

I got this phone. Don't understand what people are so negative. The screen is good, battery is good compared to other smartphones i have own, and it is very decent overall.

So overall it is a 8/10 for me.

If you match Xcover 2 against Go, then.... Xcover - Larger screen (more ppi too, but reflective for some reason), Jelly Bean out-of-box, A-GPS+Glonass, bigger battery (user changeable), more RAM and better Bluetooth support and dedicated camera button Go - Screen is better (only contrast ratio is lower,all else is better), smaller, Bravia engine and wet finger tracking. Based on reviews, for me it comes to this: screen size. Anything larger than medium sized fingers and 3,5 inches will feel really cramped.

Also missing LTE ?

So i want better Features for the next Xcover. :) And i want a Solar Panel on the back to be a real outdoor handy.

i think the xperia go looks better than this, the only thing that the xcover has over the go is a front facing camera and touchwizz but those aren't deal breakers for me, i have had an experia go for about two moths now, i have mistreated it and havent had a problem, it was a replacement for my previous phone a SGS3 who's motherboard died two months after i purchased it

Seriously... Take it from me, the Xperia Go sucks! So is the service of Sony (maybe just here in the Philippines). Since I bought my Xperia Go last Nov I only used it for less than a month til today, because it spends much of its time at the service center since it drowned on a kiddie pool which is less than a knee deep mid Nov. I hope this one won't fail me.

Xperia go has a smaller screen, lower quality GPU and CPU, old gingerbread, no secondary camera. I like this Samsung better, more features, more power. I think you can change battery with a "bigger" one, kinda 2000 - 2300 maybe, remains to check this. Also a crash test should be done with all this devices ... sony, samsung and others, to see in reality how tough they are. Maybe somebody will do such a test, just let it go down from 2m and see if he survive. Also a removable protection for camera (like N95, N98) should be build in the case ... for better protection, but wasn't the case. Ehh, let's see how will do in the near future. Hope will be OK.

PEOPLE!!! Don't compare this with the xperia go!- the go is a low end phone, this is a mid ranger. Instead compare this with the xperia arco s which is practically the same price, it's also water proof, looks a hell of a lot better, has a way better chipset, better screen and better cameras, it also matches or beats the galaxy xcover in everything else. Seriously, Samsung's phones are way overpriced these days.

Gorilla Glass is just a brand, this phone has scratch resistant glass which should be comparable to the former. Btw: as some people said, this phone has better specs than Xperia Go, not just double the RAM, 2nd camera and Jelly Bean, it also has a larger screen with way more pixels. But that doesn't mean it's a bad phone. The Xperia Go is very sturdy, the Xcover 2 should be as resistant. Endurance tests should come when the phone gets available for sale.

The Sony Xperia GO has 512 mb ram the xcover 2 has 1gb ram, and ti support jelly bean, and has second camera bro no where close to Xperia go
