Samsung T746 Impact - User Reviews

  • This happened to me too!!! I tried to hard reset, all that did was delete my texts, even with taking out the sim card. Does anyone have any suggestions or is this phone destined for a watery grave?

  • No, I don't believe it could run the Whatsapp app. Apps on this phone are very limited, it only supports a few basic ones like Gmail.

  • I want to know if this phone could download whatsapp

  • I have no data or internet on my phone and I have caller display! It depends on your plan, not on internet capability!

  • My Samsung t746 phone won't let me see who's calling me , why?!

  • I like this phon. But i want to know if it's possible to download viber on this phone.

  • you dont have an internet option on your plan thats why

  • I had this phone for a year and a half, no problems so far, it endured many things such has pretty heavy water damage, i dropped it a lot of times and it still work great. Few things tho, the sound is really low even at maximum, and the touch can feel bizarre for the first few weeks but we get used to it :)

  • ihave t749 phone need keypadnoplz

  • This phone is horrible. The screens sentiviity such. it deletes people out of my contacts. there is no 3.5mm headphone jack so i cant get new headphones. it is a hassle to take the memory card out becasue they protecter thing holding it down is broken. I wouldnt reccomend this phone to anyone, It is not a great phone.

  • *#6984125*#

  • i need do internet settings manually,how to do?

  • You need to download the New PC Studio here You can then upload and download via you USB cable as much as you want. Be advised that the Firmware Upgrade feature doesn't work for this phone.

  • I have the same problem. have you got any solution yet?

  • I've had this phone for about 2 years now. I have the ice blue version, and it's been working well until around a year ago. It's been constantly freezing and rebooting, not responding to my touch, having an inaccurate battery percentage (though I think it's just me not using charging cycles)and a bunch of other things that really make it unusable. It fails to send text messages, as it just shows the loading screen for 2 minutes and says "try again?". Even if I try to send a picture message it shows an unknown error. Overall, this WAS a great phone, but it just started to become a monster as it got older. What I really liked though is that it can survive quite anything, like dropping it and some water damage etc. without breaking. Also, the price I bought it for was reasonably low, so I'm happy about that. But there's no point since it doesn't work for me. Might as well throw it in a lake.

  • any time i try to install opera and other applications am told to check my internet settings . does this phone not support applocations

  • samsung t749 poor set voice ,speaker sound , touch is very good , can any body tell me how to change speaker because speaker sound very low

  • 1 why is that my highlight does not support applications, i download. 2 it tells me to check my internet configuration. 3 will there be a software up to give me full browser settings,because i only have clear cache,delete cookies,cookie options,delete history,preferences and about browser there.thank you.

  • well, had this phone for about 6 months. And now am bored, so went and bought a lg gt540. this fone does not have enough features. and only has 1 plain theme. which is boring. sound quietly is ok. and battery is awesome. this phone wont suit anyone who likes to play games, and always keep flash, more only for a text and call person . thanks

  • Usualy when one buys a smart phone you think a feature like a gps is standard, in this case the only reason i bought this phone was for the gps. However the gps doesn't work unless you are on a yearly plan with Bell, i am on a pay as you go plan to prevent a huge bill from being racked up if i lose this gadget.So now i am going to smash this phone just like the other ones & buy a gps.

  • tery

  • I bought this phone and used it for just over a year, and have to say it's been one disappointment after another. The phone claimed to have 3G HSPA speeds, but the processor was barely fast enough to even deal with text messages, let alone data transfer. That's before factoring in that this phone was completely unusable for texting because of its low quality screen: it had neither the size or precision needed for an on-screen keyboard to work at any speed of typing. Again, because of the low powered processor, the web experience was severely lacking, with most pages hitting a memory error after 5 minutes of waiting for it to load. The music player was easily categorized in the "afterthought" category, it croaks at 900 songs and refuses to even display more than that (to load 900 songs, use a mini SDHC card). Just to pour salt on an already life-threatening wound, the phone lacked a 3.5 mm headphone jack and the music player had an annoying tendency to take an absurdly long time to load up songs before playing them. The home screen, which contained a weather, date and time, and calendar widget, the YouTube app, and the calling features were the only few things that worked. In the case of the YouTube app, it did, however fail to load some videos. The speaker was also properly loud and probably the best I've ever had. This phone also earns an extra tick in the design category because of it's legendary durability. After upgrading from this phone, It survived repeated impacts (no pun intended), fire and water with only a few scratches to show for it. Durability means nothing if the functions of the phone aren't up to scratch though, and that prevents any greater rating than what I've given it in this review. Overall, I would fault this phone not at software but at hardware. The software, in most cases would be adequate makings of a decent phone if the hardware were powerful enough to support it. It's a shame that the hardware is as poor as it is, and it is the ultimate downfall of this phone.

  • I have the Samsung but I cannot get on the internet nor can I send or receive picture messages. Please help

I want to know if you had any sort of little or big problems with this mobile and can it be fixed easily if there is any software problem or even a pysical one and can you download a lot of games for this mobile?????????????

  • I love this phone I just wish I could find a cover for it

  • you need this software from Samsung site :http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/mobile/mobil­e-phones/all-phones/SGH-T746ZAABMC/index.idx?pag­etype=prd_detail&tab=support Win 2000/XP/Vista/Win7, 1.5.1.10064_2 SAMSUNG New PC Studio,PC Sync - Dec 10, 2009 - 165.78MB, MULTI LANGUAGE

  • Yoy have to download qualcomm driver for the usb to work

  • in the features Game: yes + download but yet i can't install any application both jar, jad and sis. how can i go about this. thank you

  • The USB doesnt work what do i do to make it work? any1 no?

  • I believe the Samsung Highlight (SGH-T749) offered by T-Mobile in the US is essentially the same device as the Samsung Impact (SGH-T746) offered by Bell Mobility and Virgin Mobile in Canada. I was looking for a cell phone with smartphone-like features. I think I found a great option in the Samsung Impact/Highlight. It has a really rich feature-set for a non-smartphone and the fact that it doesn't require a data plan (at least with Bell) should save you a lot of money over the life of your agreement. To read my full in-depth review of the Samsung Impact/Highlight, go to

  • If you only have text and talk without email, how do you download photos from your T746 phone to your laptop?

  • it is dificult to just play music

  • Is this phone prepaid?

  • Yes it will stream you tube.

  • can it stream youtube

  • how do i get gps on the phone

  • This is an awesome phone I would recommended :)

  • i will recomend this phone becouse i think is pretty and is not big in your hand i have one and works pefect!!!!!!

  • I i don't know if i should by this and i want to know what other people think cause i am 14 yrs old and im not sure if i would want to by this phone and how big is in your hands

  • I found a little plug converter from WELL and it allows you to use a standard headphone. I use it in my car to listen to things through the radio and use it with regular headphones. I got it from eBay and it cost US$6.

  • Try .jad or .rar files.

  • Does anyone know where to get free apps and games, preferably with movement and does anyone know what its opperating on I know .jar files won't work so im trying to figure out what will.

  • Okay so a few thing the first being GPS on the page it says it doesn't have GPS but come to find out it actually does. It's not a bad little phone it is a bit slow at times and the screen can be a bit glitchy sometimes but if your patient it's really not a problem, you don't have to press that hard at all on it and i've found that the more gentle you are the better it works. I don't like where the memory card is under the battery not hot swappable and it's got a pretty decent camera. The camera is a bit dark especially when taking video, i'm in a pretty well lit room and its showing up kinda dark, but the pictures seem to come out a bit brighter so thats a plus. The speaker phone sounds pretty good, but the battery doesnt seem to last very long.

  • really like it. the touch screen is better than others ive used like the my touch. i keep finding more stuff that makes me like it more. sound quality is satisfying. the camera features r cool. the speaker phone is use-able and the music player is pretty good too. just wish there wasnt an enter key on the keyboard and a regular head phone jack would have been nice

  • well this is my second ice phone in a month!...what a pice of crap!!!! this phone is. the speaker in this thing sounds like crap at any volume! the performance is crap! i never buy a samsung anything again! i'll take the nokia please.

  • Love it. Absolutely love it. My first touchscreen and I love it. Tmobile's 9.99 Internet is super fast on this handset. I can't figure out about Flash player, may never get it..but it is just a bump in the road for all that I love about it.

  • This phone is likable! When it comes to "feature phone with touchscreen", this one would stand out on top! Nice job, Samsung!

  • ohh..ireally2 loves this Phone,, samsung have many cool type phone..

  • on the upside, this makes a good paper weight for items that weigh less than 2grams. Better to use it as a baseball and hit it with a bat, as a baseball has more inside it than this junk

  • got my t749 free at costco for the first two units for new lines. its only for a limited time, guess i was lucky

  • Really? I just opened at Costco and the Highlight was $10 without any rebates x] And I got the last 5 Highlight Ice's too. I heard the Ice is going out a lot faster than the Fire.

  • not on the product really, but on the seller cells4u.com... are they good to work with?

  • costco(Chicago area) is selling it for $30 after 50 MIR for upgradable t-mobile customers... new customers is $10 after MIR.

  • does anyone know where to download free games for this phone and how to make it work? i found few sites online but the files doesn't work on this phone.

  • this is a great phone, i love it

  • this is a good phone. i am very like this phone. viva t749

  • it is the best ihave come across keep it up

  • What? Status:Exp. release 2009, June!!!!!

  • What? Status Coming soon. Exp. release 2009, June!!!!!!!

  • Does it run on the Touch-Wiz OS?

  • Sexy cool and too good whats the price

  • This phone has GPS. SW: TeleNav.

  • why to have a mobile phone with 3 megapixel camera if their is no flash buy a phone which has a flash no matter if the camera is small i am using sony ericsson w850i 2mp camera & w550i 1.3mp camera sound quality is awesome camera is good every thing is fine then why to spend the whole bunch of money

  • nice copy from moto a3100 whit orange color and low features

  • ku ku, first

  • its similar to vodafone indie

  • I can't, for the life of me, understand why they would make a so called SMART phone, with a touch screen and just ignore the WiFi and the GPS, and then there's the rest of the specs.... LOUSY They never seem to stop disappointing me.

  • The phone is new to t-mobile and was released as of 07/15/2009. However the Samsung behold and Memoir are the same version of this phone and are running the same format. Cosmetically the phone is an upgrade and its nice to see something new since the behold was very dull. However, the samsung behold is less expensive and offers better specs(camera and what not). So I'd give it a C+

  • nice chassis baby!

  • cells4u.com already has it!

  • it is easy to use, touchscreen is good for a tft screen. good camera. its nothing spectacular, but its a good choice if you want touchscreen with a good camera.

  • Meh. I hope can run 3rd party java apps

  • I'll write this here and hopefully a Samsung rep will see it. Please bring back the ability to customize the background on the icon screen. I refuse to buy any touchwiz phone because I once had the U900 soul slider and the Armani which on both, there are a number of things you can customize. It brings personality to the phone. HTC is understanding this more and more with the Hero and it's Android based phones. I beg of you make it customizable!!!!

  • Lookes beautiful
