Samsung X160 - User Reviews

  • Hello, Here is the reason why the Samsung X160 doesn’t support calendars after 2014 The Samsung X160 has Agere System and Agere system phones usually have calendar up to 10 years past the year of release

  • search in ebay.in Samsung charger X160 is there Price Rs.540/-

  • iam also having the same problem. if u came to know how to change the date to 2015 iam requesting you to inform me too...my gmail id: [email protected]

  • iam also having the same problem. if u came to know how to change the date to 2015 iam requesting you to inform me too...

  • Just set the year to 1998 (same calender as 2015) and everything still works fine!

  • As for the date problem (dates after yr 2014 can't be set), I don't think there is a solution. It seems that Samsung simply never thought that anyone would be using this phone for this long. It is rather silly that we should have to get a new one just because of this - at least in my case, since my new one is the Samsung E1150, which has more or less the same specifications.

  • Can you please tell me how to change the date to 2015 when it has been expired and it is not excepting more dates then the 2014. I would be gratefull if you can please answer me back on my e mail addr. [email protected]. thank you

  • dear admin, this phone is not showing dates after the year 2014. how can this problem be solved? can anyone help me find out the way?

  • pls someone can find me a charger for my samsung x 160 thanks in advance

  • I have been using this 'SAMSUNG X160 strong black' since July 2007. At that time of buying I felt it as a bit costly. But very attractive in looks and display, while compared with other company phones at that time. Now in 2010 July also, as for me it hasn't lost its looks.And is working well. I hope it will stay another two more years with me.

  • I have been using it since 2006 and have found it best.it is simple and seems to be expensive one and i think it will remain with me till its death.

  • I have being using this phone since July 2006 and still in good shape.The battery perform better than new china phone battery.It is very strong but the keypad off late is had to respond to easy press.I love the phone so I call it my Baby.

  • dear all, i am young and have been using it since 2007 and found it best.

  • I'm using this phone for the last 4 years an it's been working without a hitch..perhaps the keypad is a bit slow to respond but in terms of durability it's right up there with the best in the market..for those who are seeking a lot more in a phone than the very purpose it is supposed to serve, it's time you guys get a move on..

  • I disagree. This model is good for old people. I'v bought it for my parents and they are satisfied.

  • pls try samsung........mobile phone ka guru

  • Remember it were released like five or more years ago.. there were such technologies like you describe..

  • cho toi so do x160 di

  • Can anyone tell me how to turn silent mode with no vibration? There isn't silent mode menu or anything like...

  • i have nokia 6270,and its about 1.5 years old. it is a high end high cost mobile from nokia. i and my many friends trusted and bought several nokia coslty sets. but after the warranty is over it started giving problem.........and when i took it to nokia care ,they said [bit can not be repaired[/b],they even did not see what was the problem. then i took it to another nokia care,and this time they just touched it and told it can't be repaired...............friends do not buy nokia high end mobile phones because the[b after sells service of nokia is the worst ever[/b].i and my friends are suffering so i thought that i should post my bitter experience to all..................once your warranty is over your costly set will start giving problem and if it is then its gone because nokia's high end mobile life time is just the warranty period they provide. most customers are facing this problem..............friends be alert and please do not buy nokia

  • This truly is the best little phone I've ever used. I own a Nokia 8800 and since the battery sucked so much I bought this as a backup.. I was surpised to read the specs saying this phone had a talk time of 3 hours.. I've used it even today after a full charge for 3 and a half hours talktime and still have enough battery left over for another hour.. The standby on this little 'gem' of a set is 6 days.. The voice quality is better than my Nokia 8800& the built in handsfree is much louder and crisper.. It's so small and light that you can forget it's in your pocket.. I give it 10 out of 10.. Excellent set.. This is the set that will convert my loyality from Nokia..

  • How to turn OFF the sound (loud melody) when X160 is turned on or off? I don't like it. Please help.

  • U can keep silent without vibration. after keeping in silent mode, go to sound settings>alert type>keep in melody> though it is in melody again u keep n save it. then check it dont vibrate. Repeat this everytime u wan 2 keep silent without vibration. but this dont work 4 msgs.

  • sound settings>alert on call>on\off !! can anyone tells me what it serves for?

  • Hi all... The phone is very simple - the best thing about it is the design and the display is very nice for a low price phone. It doesnt ring a vibrate at the same time (major bommer). The vibarte+ring feature is not simultaneous... its one after the other. That does suck!

  • HeLLo.. this phone is really simpl.. it's used just 2 make calls.. and also it has cool ringtones.. but i think it need 2 be wav capable.. dats all.. but i think the most perfect thing in this phone is the designe.. its vey cool.. bye

  • Alot of people are writting here that there is aproblem with ringtone and vibration at the same time. There isn't any problem, on the Alert Type option you can choose "Vibration + melody" and it will vibrate and ring at the same time.

  • The phone is good for it's price. The phone is great if you only want to make calls. It has the coolest bowling game but I think you can't really download more games. It's simple, very very simple, not many extra features, it's just a simple phone. Great if you just want to use it to make calls. However, I'm a sms messaging addict. I bought it for texting mainly because I have free text messages for any vodafone number. The phone is not good for messaging. I've been writting text messages for 6 years, I write fast too fast, I write without looking at the mobile because it just comes natural. The phone is slow while messaging, too too slow for me. I write way faster than the phone. Because I write alot faster i'm guessing it sometimes gets confused because out of the blue it starts writting stuff like "kdgfjgjkghkfjdgkjfdj" and then I have to wait until it stops writting delete that part it wrote wrong and write it all over again. It's a pain sometimes, when I'm writting really really long messages, it takes me 10 minutes to write e a message I can write in 3 minutes on my other samsung z300. Also, say you want to write a message that is 3 messages long. Everytime a new message starts (withing the same message) it stops and sign will appear on screen saying "2 messages" if ou delete a character it will go back to 1 message and it will stop again and a sign will appear on screen saying "1 message". That is annoying, very annoying, whats up with that? My other samsung is not like that. All in all, I'd love it if I didn't text message so much. I've had it for 6 months but I'm buying a nokia now for my birthday

  • it is a very good phone!i dropped it many times and it hasnt got a scratch!i havent got a problem so far! ps. can someone tell me please if there is a data transfer cable for this phone and if yes from where can i order it

  • its looking very stylish and simple. but there is less future in samsung x160 model. there is no download feture and only 14 ringtones in this model its not hereable and looking this phone is very stylish and superb

  • I am very impressed by your facilities. But I can't use alarm facilities. so please give me a good reply for my complaint.

  • It's a nice phoone with attractive look. If this had mp3 and camera then it would be my 1st choice to go for it. I thnk now samsung should start thinking for the middle class people also as they are especting from the samsung.

  • The passord for samsung it`s: 00000000

  • I've just got my phone today... Does anyone know how to move all the numbers from the sim card to the phonebook?

  • i need to activate the security settings, the problem is i dont know the password. i read the manual and it does not say anything bout any default password. (helP)

  • i recently got this phone...as i am a teenager i think this phone is just perfect for me...n for those who dnt noe hw to vibrate n play melody on d fone in d same time try this... menu...sound settings...alert type...vibra + melody... d fone will start vibrating at first followed by d melody after abt 5 seconds....

  • software

  • all those ppl buying this phone and complaining shud get a life first of all its cheap end of Samsung wat do u expect ? u get wat u pay for if u like low end models buy simply nokia y go for other garbage phones and try to be kewl with style and fall flat on face in the end

  • im planning to buy this phone.... its just that, when i read all the comments here, im already having some doubts about it.... dus it really have a problem when it comes to its ring tone and vibration cause i have a friend who happens to have x160 and the way i see it, its like shes not having any problem about it....

  • (+) Simple design, light weight, small size. (+) Compatible with (old) Samsung's serial cable, just download all the applications from the official website. You will be able to manage your phonebook, SMS and calendar from your PC. Importing phonebook from the computer also possible. (-) small capacity ... memory for Java application is too small. (-) too many click required to send SMS, and making a call. I think it is nice low-budget mobile ...

  • i want to buy this mobile phone. but i hav doubts with it. i want to ask anybody who has it to rate the phone overall 1 - 10. tnx.

  • to stella or any one interested in dis phone .... i bought tis fone as a standbuy and i am stuck wid it plz do not buy this phone the gprs , wap thing sucks big time the ring tones are really lousy also freakin fone does not vibrate and ring at da same time i keep on missing important sms just because FREAKIN SAMSUNG did not bother to put long sms tones , most of them are just like a beep or ting ......... very easy to miss in a quite room forget bout a busy street overall a very sad experience with samsung , rather buy a nokia or sony .... if u still wondering were to spend ur loose change give it to charity for aids or homeless ppl .... u will get a lot of blessings point being never ever buy samsung

  • I think the X160 is a very pretty phone and I think I'd like to buy it. But just like I asked about the X200, I'd like to know if the gprs/wap on this handphone is good. With my old samsung X460, the gprs/wap only worked for a short amount of time and I don't want to pay extra for a another phone with gprs/wap that stops working. Help?? And does it have the most standard ringing tone?? Like that of a house phone? Because the X460 didn't and the poly that was provided was not nice at all. Please somebody answer my questions...

  • My concern is about resolution. i will trade in my Nokia 6610i for this phone (a downgrade i suppose) but i'm willing to do so ONLY IF this phone has better resolution than my former phone. Will really appreciate your help guys :)

  • please tell me how to make this phone vibrate and ring simultaneously

  • just want to know how to download message alert tone. i don't like and can't change the message alert tone, it's too short, and most of the time i can't hear if i have a message or none. thanks. please

  • Model is kwl, its very handy and stylish.....Alarm functionality is not working in my mobile.if any body exp the same problem..just post a reply to this..Thanks

  • it is a very stylish phone which would attract users of lower end models in this season of higher ends.its like a stylish version of x-200.

  • just bought this cool phone here in the philippines for only P5,500, very cheap and looks classy.. though with decreased capabilities than other models, it still has the essentials, call and txt.. i dont need camera and other stuff i've got them already..

  • i find these clamshell phones voz x200 n x160 very cool,i mainly send sms messages,or v just talk.Connectivity is sufficient to put in some pics of loved ones ( hehehe ) in the phones by decreasing size n stuff.But i heard that one cant send simple Picture messages from samsung to nokia or SE.I dont know if thats true but a sore point if it is.

  • BTW this phone looks much closer to the X200 than the X150, wonder why they called it X160?

  • Guys, THAT depends of the vendor sms-implementation.... Phone with both kind exists 'out there' each with its own benefits and disadvantages...

  • Yeh it goes directly to SIM memeory..but you can transfer them back to Phone memory coz SIM cant hold a lot. Don't you know that?

  • internal memory does not share with sms.

  • a nice basic phone. But Im disappointed to see only 1.8mb internal memory from Samsung. You have to delet SMS regularly to make some space.
