  • Dear all I have been using for 3 years Samsung ZV10. This mobile is very fine because it is a 3gp, PC Bowsing modem supported. But its low memory and battery charge is poor duration.Now my question on Email setting like pop up etc. How I can set email configuration in this mobile ? Anybody help me ? My email address [email protected] Please send any suggestion. Mainul

  • I think its a perfect phone other than all the phones that Samsung came with my problem is the software it lost the software.. I need help any one???

  • i find it very interesting even though the battery its so disappointing it cant carry the amount of features on the battery...when i 1st bought it i thought i didnt charge the battery long enough but i guess its the phone itself...Big up to zv10 though..

  • class fon but the battery is crap i thought it was just my phone but from the comments i can see its everyones . overall its an unreal fon but can any one tell me how to find the memory card??????????? if ne one knows comment it on dis web site!!!!!????;-]

  • I really like this phone in general. But the battery issue is the downer. It is an interesting problem though... not as simple as just not enough capacity in the battery. I firmly believe that there is a firmware problem in the phone! I bought mine second hand, and was disappointed with battery only lasting 2 days, so I purchased a new battery. New battery is quite good sometimes, lasting up to 4 days when phone has little use, but other times can completely die after just 12 hours, even when phone not used at all. The problem is intermittent, and NOT a symptom of a dying battery. I find if I charge the phone for only an hour or two, it tends to last 3-4 days, but if left on charge overnight, it is generally dead by the end of the day... weird. I can only assume that there is some bug in the firmware that causes a higher battery drain condition in certain circumstances. But my suggestion is, charge it only for short periods. As soon as the light goes green unplug it, as I find leaving it charging longer actually may discharge the battery.

  • samsung zv10 very very very very very very very very very beautiful very beautiful

  • i have this phone... my games got deleted.. how do i put new games...

  • I have been using zv10 for 2 years. It supports PDF, MS WORD, MS EXCELL, MS POWER POINT from PC to mobile but those programs do not download from web during internet browsin. In the two years I had flushed the software two times due to problem of internet browsing( when i pressed into web option, it was going to restart automatically and i can not browse internet in that time). Overall this model is very nice because it supports as CDMA MODEM for internet browsing by PC. Thanks. Mainul

  • ive had this fone for 2 yers nd its prety goooood bro its just 2 heavy gtg now bye nd batery sux

  • I agree 100% with battery life and the thing that sucks about this phone is that it can't charge with data cable. Other thing is that there is no memory slot, Otherwise it is a good phone.

  • hi there guys i have the same problen as johan where as when i try going to my wap browser or vlive my phone swithches off please mail me with any solutions

  • it is very poor phone and not good phone

  • ZV10 is a good phone I have had one for nearly 2 years the only thing that sucks is the Battery life 260h is a dream, more like 72h if you don't talk on it. If they can ramp up the mHA to increase talk time or make a bigger heavy duty battery!!

  • I've got one, since last december. For the second time it's on service with batery and/or charger. It's max 260h stand-by where 96h brand new, and from second week droped to 72 hours. I'm lucky, my wife asked for it to replace her's, so I have to buy a new one. Horray! She pays. :) Last Samsung to buy.

  • Its a lousy cellphone. The battery life is pathetic, the menu structure sucks & an all round frustrating performance. Its the last Samsung phone I will ever buy.

  • Wateva, There's nothing wrong with my zv10. And the rumour about its batery is lies my batery keeps working for about 4days before its flat

  • this is a bad phone. dont have a signal and when 3g signal is recieved the phone doesnt work

  • Very disappointed. The phone itsself is great, but you can hardly call it a mobile, you need a charger & mains every day, even on minimal settings (no bluetooth, GSM 800/1900 etc.) The battery is cr@p and the phone doesn't even load through the USB datacable. You can't even buy extra batteries.Very bad move, Samsung!

  • Question: Does the samsung ZV10 charge through the usb port when on the net using the data cable from the computer to the phone. I agree with all the comments about the batt life. really lousy last about one day just on stand by.

  • very nice mobile.but battery is not good.

  • Its an fine Moblie phone. can any one tell me, how to connect phone to my PC with data cable.i didn't have any software , plz send link of software to download to my email. have nice day

  • great phone, easy to use etc, but lousy battery!

  • Great phone =)

  • armargedon Folow this link, but its in spanish so youl hav to understand it by lookin at the pics and i used a translating website. I cut and paste the words into the translator and kinda figured it out for my self. I now have 27 games on my fone by using the web link. also, u have to have both the .jad and .jar file for the game

  • just wondering, if i reset the phone using the magic numbers, how many times can i do it. I want to transfer alot of games to ma fone but i did it once (1 game) but then i couldnt do it again, so i reseted the phone. I then put 4 games on, but i think i need to transfer all the .jad and .jar (games)files to the games folder, if i want to put all games onto ma fone. is there any easy way to add java games onto ma fone at a later date rather than reseting the phn and starting again?

  • hey guys i have problems with install of games!!! help meee plizzzzzzzz!!!!! tell me what to do!!! i have the zv10 and i can�t read jar ojad file in my phon!!! please help!! thx

  • Can anyone tell me if the samsung zv10 supports flash lite 1.1 or 2.1. I need to know for an important college project. E-mail me if you know. Regards. Ro

  • Help, please It's Wednesday night and I am having to recharge my battery for the 2nd time (not including the 1st full charge when ypu open the box,a s that will make it 3) since purchasing this phone on Saturday (5 days ago !) Samsung said that the battery should have a standby time of 260 hours and atalk time of 3 hrs 20 mins. I recieved one call today and my battery started loosing it's charge straight away. Samsung alos advised me to charge and them discharge the battery unitl it is flat, 2 to 3 times before it will "fully keep" it's charge - I think I got the push-off. Also have had a nightmare to configure my phone to MMS and WAP. My service provider hear states that my ZV10 is MMS non-compatible and even though it has the settings for WAP, I cannot get it working. Please, I would appreciate any advice (apart from taking it back to the shop, only if I have too!!!!) Thanks

  • it is a crap phone had iit in to samsung 4 times for wap problems they cant even fixit best advice put a match and petrol on the phone eleast it looks nice when it burns

  • I did forget to menation one thing. Yes, battery life is rubbish, it drains ridiculous with sound and video and once t looses that frst bar its all downhill. of the three bars in the battery life icon, Im sure the first is a least a half measure, the second a third, cos once its don to the ed, you've will empty her on just one call. or just do what I do and charge it every day. Religiously.

  • The phone itself isn't a bad piece of hardware, its fairly decent catually, and quite solid (having dropped it a few times). Half the sending / recieving problems with text, I've seen mentioned only need it to be switched from 3G coverage to regular because its out of a 3G are and just needs switching to the regular Vodafone network. My beef is the lack of specific theme downloads or such on the net, all searches lead me to message boards, which is all fine and good but doesn't help me out. I really want to use a different theme, set my colours at something else apart from the Vodafone theme set (that puppy one got deleted as soon as it was out of the box). Other than that, the only confusing thing is how sometimes I get a missed call, but the phone hasn't rung of anything, and people think I'm screening calls. I figure its network traffic, and write it off as such but would be interested in hearing what it actually is. I thought it was my assignation of individual tones to users but am not sure. The MP3 players is fine, screen resolution is fine and otherwie no problems. I don't see it on sale nowadays but its a perfectly good 3G unit.

  • Oh my god, i won this phone in a competition, and I am sooo glad, i didnt pay for it, the battery life is terrible, im lucky if it last for a day and a half!

  • Oh my GOD! This phone is POSSESSED!

  • Hi Can Someone please tell me how to fix my wap? Everytime i want to connect live to the internet on my phone, the thing/phone just switches off! Please mail me: [email protected] with details on how to stop my cell from switching off when i connect to the net. Thx! Johan

  • I Got this phone recently and found it to be a fairly good phone. People say the camera is bad quality but just go into settings and turn up the quality and size and it will be better. Does anyone have a real, straight answer, of how to get games on my phone from either wap (other that vodafone live), infared from pc or usb cable. I tried one of the posts on here and any game i put in the games folder doesnt appear in my entertainment folder so i cant play them. Email me on my email [email protected] Apart from that its a pretty good phone. Camera is good. Never crashed for me. Thanks heaps. Please reply, if your method works i might compromise some sort of reward coz i really want games.!!

  • I regret buying this phone 1. Battery Power 2. It drops abt 90 percent of my calls(Im serious), the receiver is of poor quality 3. Poor camera resolution 4. It crashes a lot, especially when u try to access some web pages or applications 5. U cannot logon to yahoomail.com or gmail.com or anything of that sort- it just crashes and reboots! This one really annoys me! 6. U cant install simple applications that are working on most phones. There are some things I lyk abt the phone though

  • oh and yea the battery life is bad ae :( but other than that i loved the phone. you can convert mp3's to mmf and use them as mp3 ringtones !:) but they only play up to a minute and 5 seconds, but still good cos you can convert diffrent songs for diffrent contacts for when dey txt you, you can just listen to the song and be like oh yup! and know who it is :) to convert to mmf just download mp3 to ringtone converter and use the mp3 to mmf feature :) laterz nw

  • well wen i did have this fone (miss it alot) i always compressed da songs lol i managed to fit 40-45 songs! :) dey dont sound az good az 128-160 bit rate mp3s cos theyre around 64 i think but its still good quality :) to compress em just download mp3 to ringtone and use the mp3 to small mp3's and you'll have around 40-45 songs :) depending on size

  • Awful phone! 1. The phone should have baterry life standby 10 days!!! This is impossible. I don't care what they say, I have this phone and if I did not charge it one day, it is death on the other! Liers!!! I charge it properly first 3-4 times. 2. On the menu (PC Studio) I have disabled menus, and noone on support answer how to enable them! Using infrared or cable! 3. Customization of wallpapers/colors/etc seems me impossible if you are not a hacker to get some software for making themes! Or...of course pay for such stupid themes. 4. No option for showing clock on secondary display constantly! 5. Some menus are so hidden, that I cant find them for weeks. 6. I'll never buy a samsung again! Stupid bastards, I hope you and your clients read this and move to other phones!

  • there isn't 40 Mb memory!!!If there are where it is I have only 23000 kbs????help please!!!

  • I have just purchased samsung ZV10. It is a nice set, no doubt. But the problem with batterry is unbarrable. How can I incraese the battery life? Will it harm the battery for charging it for 8 hours where it becomes full after 2 hours? Next problem is with installing the new application. I can not copy new program software in the application folder. I have downloaded the software in the other document folder where it can not be activated. Can any body siuggest me in this regard! Anoather problem, in the subcontinent, it is probably not new set what we get. So be careful before buying this set from Asia.

  • Hi Every one who uses this phone so I have Question how to coinvert mp3 songs to mmf or mid I heard taht if you convert them you can store up to 100 songs with just 5mb memory

  • i have encountered similar problems like those restarting when using vodafone live... now it's fixed. i just reset my phone to its factory settings by pressing *2767*3855# but users beware that before using this you should back-up contents of your phone as this procedure will erase all pictures, sounds and it will restore your phone to factory settings... i can't guarantee this to others but i've tried it to my SGH-ZV10 and it works... i hope this can be a big help to others...

  • If anyone can get me the ZV10BuEI3 software pack, I'll tell him or her how to access manage contacts and MMS

  • Hi. VodafoneNZ txt me to drop phone at Vodafone for around 10 days while they sent it away for upgrade. Found out that a company in Auckland was doing the upgrade so dropped the phone in for an hour and had lunch nearby while they upgraded it. Much better battery life - seems to be OK for around 4 days providing I don't play too many videos!

  • Jamie were do u find mmmf tones because only have mmf tones! Cheers, Jordan

  • I'm using this phone in the United States (land of the terrible cell phones) with Tmobile provider. I was wondering what I need to do to turn off the 3g function? I tseems that when I follow everyones advice and switch to GSM 900/1800, I don't have service (probably not supported here), but I can switch to GSM 1900 and I have service, BUT I see the 3g icon still illuminated on my screen. If I'm using GSM 1900 is the 3g turned off? Any solutions?

  • Hi to all, I am seriously considering purchasing this phone, but have heard bad things regarding the photo quality when downloaded to your pc. Some say pictures cannot be made bigger without damaging picture quality, is this true? Please respond quickly as I would like to purchase a phone asap

  • Yes!, - well done JaMie your MP� tip as a ,message tone works a treat. Before your tip I thought the only tone you could have for message and alarm was mmf - even Samsung Technical Support said that you could not have a mp3 as a message tone or alarm on this phone but you have even proved them wrong! The only other way I was doing it was doing a new .THM file and using mp3 for the message tone but that was messy and time consuming but your way is much easier. Cheers, Andy.

  • I have just had a text message from Vodafone NZ to bring my Samsung ZV10 in for a free software upgrade!! It seems that the new software will give better battery performance!! Will send it in next week!!

  • hey JaMie, nah still thinking about the upgrade, might have to go into vodafone and jus suss out what the upgrade is all about - not too fussed about not having my fone for a couple of days either :)

  • battery life a major problem, but have it nearly sorted thanks to forum tips. BIG problem with bluetooth. phone wont upload contacts to Parrot handsfree kit, it treats kit as just a head set. Any fix appreciated

  • daz alGuldz heLen.. hey.. didi you end up sending your phone away 4 that free upgrade??

  • thanks heaps for that Jamie, it has worked a treat, now have mp3's as my text tone :)

  • does anyone know how to like, hide the media player so that you can like, look at your messages or whatever and still have the song playing....

  • to make a mp3 song as your message tone or as your alarm tone, 1st go to settings, then go to phone settings, then assign ringtone... click on "message alert tone" then go down to special tone and press "options"... go down to change, then select sounds& ringtones..select a mmmf tone and again..push the options button and select "play".. use the left and right buttons to change the song..and when you find the song u wanna use choose select..

  • Hey does anyone know the "Master Key" for the Samsung zv10???????

  • does anyone in NZ know about the free upgrade that vodafone are advertising for these phones? The phone has to be sent away to a mobile repair place and you could be without it for up to three days - has anyone done it? and if so, what benefits did they get from the upgrade? Cheers :)

  • Great set of stuff thanks Bizio :-) at last I can edit the SMS's using z studio 3.91 but I was trying to use the explorer thing in z studio and press on PC-Obex but it just keeps saying port is open even when I press the button 'close port' - any ideas?

  • This is a really cool fone but does anyone no how to lock the fone.please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I have just changed my mobile from samsung USB connection to Qualcomm USB connection and it seems to have considerably speeded up the transferring files to and from the phone!

  • many programs for samsung z v 10

  • Thanks for your asnwer Andy! To my needs, a battery running down fast is not as bad as the unnability to edit/menege contacts and messeges using cable connection. And PC Sync worked really bad to me, having lots of failures. Kept the phone cause it was so cheap, and the phone itself is great. In that same forum you menction before, run a search for THM Editor 0.8. It's software wich allows you to create or modify themes for ZV10. When creating themes, there is an option to create/modify those startup/shutdown jingles and images. Software is in spanish and you need to have NET Framework installed for it to work.

  • This next firmware I might try is supposed to take away the vodaf*ne live stuff from the phone and the operator logo and I am hoping the right live button can be changed then. - I hope if it don't work out for me that I can put the phone back to how it was!! Here is where I found it (its in spanish!): Andy.

  • Has anyone sussed how to change the startup and shutdown jingle of the phone?

  • To Alex: Nothing changes at all that I can see - I think the battery is lasting longer after the update. Yes you can use the USB cable supplied in the box you don't have to buy another one. Unfortunately the same items are still grayed out in the PC suite. - I wish they weren't grayed out I want to be able to back up and edit my SMS's and Phone book on the PC.

  • Really this is a fantastic cellphone, a bought it in spain. Before i was using a Nokia, the 6230 i think, and this mobile, it's better than that one.I recomende this one to everyone xD.Just one thing... in some stores, the memory is of 4 MB, in other stores the memory is about 50MB, but never is the same... chek out that, efore getting the cellphone.GL. Sorry if, some body don't understand me.. i'm spanish xD, and i write how i can write :p. See ya

  • To Andy: Can you tell us what are the advantages of updating firmware? Can we update using connection cable suplied with phone, or must we get another cable? Once updating firmware, are all apps available in PC Suite, or Contacts Manager, Messege Manager etc are still greyd out? Thanks

  • To Mickey: You have to download onto the PC the correct downloader for the ZV10. The downloader is: ZV10_MultiLoader_101.exe and put the details in from: ZV10BUEK1.zip file Then you have to set the Phone into Download Mode by pressing 9 and red power on button at the same time. I am not the best at explaining how to do it but I managed to update it fine. Please nobody blame me if something goes wrong and if it wrecks your phone - do it at you own risk :-) Unfortunately the firmware update doesn't do anything to the 'live' button which is a shame - its still there and un-configurable! I would be intrigued if there was another way to customize that button and get rid of the operator / network logo on the phone. Its most probably a matter of time until someone comes up with a solution for that.

  • Great phone!I used to own a sharp gx30i but when it broke down I considered to buy something cheaper.I found zv10 and although i thought it would be a zero in contrast with sharp I now believe that I found the best phone in its category.I could say better than the gx30i.However I found it a little difficult to get used with the keyboard but this is a minus problem to come up with.The only drawback may be the batterry duration.The phone is almost perfect and I reccommend it. :-)

  • To Andy: - tell me what is this link.I know that it have 31 mb size but I dont know what for is . You can help me ???

  • To Andy: Can you tell us how did you update the firmware? Also, with the new firmware is it possible to replace the bottom right 'soft key' with another function instead of 'Live'? If not with the new firmware perhaps there is another way to do that, anyone knows?

  • Anyone having trouble setting schedule on this phone. I have set in so it does a daily schedule and it keeps telling me that the end date should be longer than the repeat term date even though I have! So it wont let me set a daily schedule.

  • To Ed, Yes you would think that it would charge the phone at the same time whilst connected by USB cable but no it doesn't which is a bad design. My wife has a Motorola mobile which charges by USB socket so as you are transferring files its charging the phone at the same time. I think myself now that the battery lasts a bit longer with the new firmware - (unless its all in the mind) maybe an extra day I get out of it but it still seems to go quickly to 1 red bar when I am using the phone but stays on that red bar for ages until it needs charging. I have all the UTMS (3g) feature and other stuff turned of as well.

  • Jose, the Ipod file size was just over 3 and a half megabytes. I reckon it sounds the same quality as mp4 I cant really tell the difference myself they are both clear.

  • Hi all, Got the ZV10 last week, got a couple of questions. Seems to me the PC data cable should be able to charge the phone from the USB power - can this be done? Second question, Andy, you say you updated the firmware, any news on the effects of the update? Finally, to Carlos who asked ages ago about changing the alarm volume, the 'wake up' alarm can't be changed, but you can set any of the other alarms and they will follow your active profile, so you can just turn down the ringing volume and you're set. Ed

  • ANDY, What is the size of those songs? And is the quality better than those in mp4? I have now 25 songs in mp4, and its great! It's size goes from 800-1000kb, and the quality is 128kb/s, I'm doing that using NERO 7. If those songs from IPOD are better quality plz tell me! THANKS

  • Wicked! I just found out you can transfer ipod music (m4a)files straight to the zv10 without converting them and the zv10 will play them fine :-)

  • who know-why in pc samsung 3 dont existing : "manage contacts and more" "manage masssages" and "compose multimedia massages" what can i do that this play in my zv 10 ?? pleas help:)(sorry for my english)

  • It seems stupid that you cannot seem to organise your contacts and text messages on the PC with the USB cable and the PC Studio software - what a shame these features are disabled. What a shame as well that you cant see the phone as an extra drive (mass storage device) in 'My Computer' on the PC and have to use the PC studio software to transfer files to and from PC to phone.

  • it is really a cool mob. The most exciting feature i met in it, is that u can rule off all those annoying calls ("unknown receptions", "hidden numbers"). U can also set many phone numbers which u want to hang up immediately (rule off)settings-->call settings-->all calls-->auto reject (on), where u can choose "Reject unknown" or/and specify your auto reject list!!! it is really cool! Try it! Does anyone know how to upgrade to the newest firmware. I've found/download it (zv10buek1.zip, i think) but how do i install it to my call???

  • Hi all, another kiwi here. Got this phone last week, its way cool. Also experienced not being able to edit your contacts via the pc suite, I would assume that this problem cannot be fixed? Seems a shame, but hey, if thats the only problem with it, it can't be all that bad :) Have traded in my nokia 6101 for this one, and so far am pleased I did :)

  • To Andy: yeah i could do it.. seems nice.. such a small thing i dont need lots of quality .... thanks for the tip man one more thing guys, if u can help.. i used to have a sharp gx25 and i could transfer my contact list to the computer.. but now how can i get my numbers on the samsung? pc studio 3 doesnt let me use the contact management... any ideas other than introducing one number at a time by hand?

  • Andy i forgot to tell you that you mustant intall like 4 games at one times you must copy one to the "Games" file at a time. For example you can put 20 files in the "other documents" but pass one by one to the "Games" files so that the games work! Some games you must get * Moto GP *Prince of Persia *F1 *Asphalt 2 !!

  • Rogher Andy! Cornelious to put the mp3 songs into about 800kbps, you have to get nero 6 or nero 7, and then you go to audio converter, you must convert mp3 songs to mp4. In the settings you put maximum 1000kbps. The amazing thing is that the song doesant loose quality!! Try do that i have 30 mp4 songs in my ZV10, all exatly thesame as the original mp3 song. If you have doubts email me!

  • Thanks Jos� for the info on how to add java games by USB cable. Took a bit of time to fathom out but I cracked it in the end. I now have Pacman installed on my zv10 :-)

  • To Kelly: how do u compact the songs to be 800kb??

  • Guys Very very VERY important!! I found how to put games into the ZV10 by the bluetooth or usb cable. Follow the orientations in this webpage and you can download jar and jad files in these webpages and in this

  • Thanks Jos� for the info about *#3695147*# I was wondering how to turn off the GPRS setting - I love all these secret codes for the ZV10 :-)

  • GUYS Very very important, i found how to get like 5 days of battery life!! Ok its like this You have to dial this number *#3695147*# then you go to network & call settings then go to service domain and select CS that is to turn of the GPRS, GPRS will be activated automatically when needed like to send a MMS, and will go out automatically as well.

  • Thanks Andy!

  • To: Jos� Leonardo. I got it from this website: Big 31MB file to download. Be careful you dont muck up your phone. :-) Andy.

  • Faustino Hilario I didn't understand what or wich doupts you have, but please visit this forum: ­ Register and post your doupts in portuguese about this phone, someone surely can help you. The ringtones are highly configurable, please be more specific. Thanks

  • It�s not very good wich I have to say! In my job I need phones cause I drive a lot of time during a day an I have several meetings a day! I got one ZV10 near "VODAFONE" (Portugal) and nobody said me that the equipment had no ring�s signal at phones! What can I do to solve this problem? Portuguese law obliged me to use phones, when I drive! During the meetings it�s not very good have had rings on!I byed (I want get)a rabit and they sold me a cat! VODAFONE wants to came-back the equipment and give me my money! They sold a lot of this mobils and the people dont know that they are doing an important mistake! I think that this situation is unaceptable at business world!

  • TO ANDY Andy what is that apdate about? Can you tell where o find it?

  • I updated my flash on the ZV10 today from ZV10BUEI3 to the latest (I think?) ZV10BUEK1 Firmware just to see if it would cure my bad battery power problem. Everything went straightforward with the update.

  • how long can u record video on this phone

  • How do you upload Java games from you Pc to the phone without WAP

  • This phone has a feature to check emails from a POP3 Account. The only thing is that my password for my email account contains an asterisk (star) in it and I cannot fathom how to input a star in the password on this phone, I can get every other symbol than an asterisk - anyone got any ideas of how to get it?

  • Shame that when you are watching a 3gp movie file that there is not an option anywhere to get rid of the banners and icons to watch the movie full-screen on this phone. Using a program called IMTOO Encoder I have managed to convert an .avi to 3gp file that works perfectly on this phone.

  • The samsung ZV10 is the cooooolest fone ever.it would be even better in pink!!!!

  • The ZV10 is GREAT, it fits 62 mp3 songs, you can compact them in the samsung pc studio 3, almost all of the mp3 songs go to 800kb, and videos as well. The camara image compares to 1.3mp, is gest great, you can put pictures up to the resolution of 1280 x 960, and to make videos is also very easy. The only thing that im abset is that here in Brazil i cant do videocalls, cause we dont have 3G in every state here. But still is a great phone!

  • The Samsung ZV10 phone is really a great phone. Many of the problems of the users like battery life or cobertry are due to corrupt parameters in older software versions. It can be solved just updating the mobile's software (flashing it, it have to be done by Vodafone in warranty)... About battery life, I have to say that few of the many users follows the manufacturer instructions about the battery usage, the load cycle time or whatever...Anyway it can be better just flashing it.

  • FOR SHARON To switch of 3G, go to menu, settings, connectivity, Network Mode. Change from automatic to 900/1800 band.

  • Answer to Stephen, I have the Z140 phone, I think the software is very similar to this, you might be able to convert small pieces of mp3 to mmf format and they are accepted as text msg tones. In the phone profile menu (with options like normal, silent meeting etc) there may be an option called "special tone" when you select Message alert tone, if its there then you can edit the special tone to be an mmf, and use small clips for txt tones. Ive had a quick peek at the manual, and it looks like you do have this functionality. A quick google for software to convert mp3 into mmf should find you some guides/software. I use mp3 to ringtone gold to convert, You do have to buy it tho.

  • Hi does anybody know how to turn off 3G on the phone to save battery? thanks!

  • I got my zv10 couple of days back. First impression - excellent phone for the price. I could quickly navigate through all the features and customised completly within couple of hours. Great sound and display quality. I am fine with the photo quality as it serves the purpose. Downside is the battery life like almost everyone has been screeming on this message board. Apart from that I find this mobile very stylish and full of useful functionality. Some people who are used to other company mobile might find the navigation bit hard, but it is just the question of habit. Play with this mobile for few minutes and you will quickly get familiarise with the features.

  • how do u turn off d 3g coverege on this fone

I had a nokia 6600 that lasted me nearly a full week in battery life, can this phones battery really be this bad or is my phone faulty. It is only a week old, please can someone help!!!!!

  • does anybody know how to get back a ring tone that was already on the fone when i got it. I accidently deleted it just when i was getting used to it. Help is greatly appreciated

  • Where can i find free themes for samsung zv 10?

  • The Samsung ZV10 is an excellent phone with 3rd generation features, the Samsung ZV10 has a nice digital camera that unfortunatly you cannot zoom in or out in normal full mode but zoom capable in optional modes availible on your camera menu, Also Im not sure if you may know this, But, the Samsung ZV10 is able to used as a dial up modem via a USB cable, it is convenient when you need to check your emails provided that the USB cable and a lap top is availible, also note that the dial up connection needs to be set up by installing software from a Disc that is provided when purchasing this phone, I hope this information is helpful. Thanks

  • can i do a voice dialling on this phones?

  • Am I doing something wrong or can you not zoom in on something when in still camera mode at 640x480 (VGA) mode? -

  • i heard this phone rocks i am getting it in july

  • what can i say? great pics,great sound, rubbish battery. Saying that though it's good qualities outweigh the bad. the video calling is excellent and a usb included in the package - about time! one problem, how the hell do you change your ringtones ie message/voice calls? i've downloaded several songs and used the usb with my laptop and still can't change them & i'm still stuck with the rubbish polyphonic tones supplied - HELP anyone???

  • My wife has not long bought a Motorola E770. Like the ZV10 it is a 3G phone, but that doesn't suffer the bad battery life that Samsung has. She can have it in standby ages (many days) before it needs re-charging. Not only that when her phone is in standby the screen is very dimly lit but enough to see the digits and the time on the LCD display. I do like my ZV10 better but I would like the battery standby time and the dim lit display light that she has on her phone when mine is in standby so that you could see the clock on the outer LCD display without having to open up the phone to activate the display backlighting. - Samsung should have done it as an option in the phone's setup area if you wanted the phone lit dimly in standby. Mind you the battery power is wicked on the zv10 and if they did give you that option then it would be even worse I suppose!! Andy.

  • Great News the live update in my PC studio software has started working (the CD that came with the phone) as I have been trying the live update since I bought the phone and it was saying unable to connect to the live update server or something. My bad news is that Broadband is not available to me at present where I live and I have a slow 56k Dial-up connection for the Internet and the updates to be downloaded amount to 16MB! (sad) - not to worry I am still going to download some time and see what extra features there are.

  • Thank you Adam for that info on how to modify themes and mms call tone with mp3. I had been trying for ages to figure out how to do it - all I could do previously was an mmf tone and the quality wasn't clear.

  • SOME THINDS YOU CAN TRY IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH YOUR BATTERY LIFE! PLEASE READ THIS IS IMPORTANT Here is a list of things that you can try. 1. Turn 3G off 2. Turn your phone off at night if its not needed. 3. Charge your battery properly!! This is how ive been told to charge batteries and its worked for me so far!! When you first get the phone let the factory charge run down, once it has TURN THE PHONE OFF, charge it overnight for atleast 8 hours, the next day turn the phone on and use it as normal, you will probably 2 or 3 days (or less) out of this FIRST CHARGE. Once the phone has gone flat again AND ONLY THEN turn the phone off and charge overnight for atleast 8 hours. Turn the phone on again the next day and use is as normal, you should get 4 or 5 days. Once the phone goes flat again AND ONLY THEN, turn the phone off, charge it overnight again for atleast 8 hours. After 3 OVERNIGHT 8+hour charges you should get a full week out of it. Please note it is vital that you TURN YOUR PHONE OFF to charge it or the battery wont get the full benefit of the charge. If you have had this phone for awhile it possible to do the 3 overnight charges as described above and to "wake-up" the dead battery cells and you may ( i stress MAY) get more life out of you battery. Another note, don't charge your phone unless its needing a charge. Meaning the battery sign is flashing! Charging it in little bursts leads the battery to believe that what you are charging is only what the battery is capable of. Also car chargers are good if it needs a little battery power while your in the car, but they trickle feed so its NOT TO BE USED for a full charge. If you stick your phone on charge for a couple of hours and it says its full more than likely its not, this is why i recommend to charge for 8hrs+ and with it turned off, just so its not searching for network coverage or taking txts or ph calls. This may not be correct in every case. It has worked for me. Ive done the 3 overnight charges and im up to my 5th day still on full battery power (& i use my phone a fair bit). If anyone else has any problems with this phone, plz let me know, i would like to help.

  • Best Phone ever made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • HOW TO SET 'NEW TEXT MESSAGE' RINGTONE TO A WAV 1. Use PC Explorer and copy Themes/Vodafone.thm to your desktop 2. Rename Vodafone.thm to Vodafone.thm.zip and unzip it 3. Open Vodafone.thm/theme.xml in Notepad 4. Change this line: 5. Find a wav file, rename it to new-sms.wav, and place it in the same dir as theme.xml 6. Create a zip file containing new-sms.wav, theme.wav and Surfing.jpg 7. Unzip the zipfile you just created and make sure that the directory structure is identical to the original unzipped Vodafone.thm.zip (I had to select the 3 files then add to a zip - simply zipping up the parent folder didn't work) 8. Rename your new zip file to MyTheme.thm (or suchlike) 9. Use PC Explorer to put MyTheme.thm back into your Themes/ folder on your phone 10. Disconnect your phone and switch to that theme.

  • I had similar problems with my battery having to charge it twice a day if I received a call. I ttook it back to the vodafone shop and they turned off the 3G network to help preserve the battery but I still have to charge the phone every day! I would not recommend this phone and now I'm stuck with it until the minimum contract period is up!!

  • its a nice phone,it has all those functions, excluding radio.

  • Best phone ever!

  • I bought Samsung zv10 a month ago. Battery life is getting worse and worse.Went to Vodafone Ireland Store in the Pavillions shopping centre. I was told I need to charge my phone EVERYDAY, due to new technology. I was never told this when I bought the phone.They offer absolutely no help. I was also told that it depends on network coverage...however I think it is ridiculous that a battery lasts only ONE day without even using 3G. And for Vodafones Customer Service...pathetic!!! Extremely dissapointed.If Kaz (who just posted a message and who works for vodafone) manage to get some info on how to get this fixed it will be really really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

  • Loos like this is the rotten one among the whole busket of fine apples.LOL

  • Hi.I have qestion...what can I change for this code *#9998*324# in my ZV 10 ?? This code can change for better functions in this phone ?? please help:)

  • This phone is great, but the battery life is not!I work for Vodafone and for everyone out there whos having a battery problem, I hear you. That stuff they tell you about new phones only lasting 1 day due to new technogoly is rubbish. I dont even get one day out of it now. And thats when Im not even using it. Its driving me insane and absoulty NO-ONE can give me answer! I will be in contact with Samsung today to see if I can find an answer, then if it works for my phone I will post it on here to help the rest of you with the same problem (which I might add its ALOT). Keep watching and I'll see if I can help you all.

  • hi So I have zv 10 around 3 months now.I bought this in Vodafone Germany. An I have very big problem with the battery. It lasts max 4 days.Very often I need to charge the phone after 24 hours in the situation I did't use the phone at all, not even single sms. I tried to complain to Vodafone shop, but they said that this is normal, this new technology works like this, now batteries can last even half a day and so on.But to be honest, the producer says that battery should be enough for max 220 hours, which means 9 days.This is not real information.I don't call,play or use MP3 player, UMTS is also off. What better conditions I can get? But I still have to charge my phone every two days. I really don'T know what to do.

  • Hi, On one of the Spanish forums I found this code *#9998*324# that allows to enter the Test Mode on ZV10. Some people might find it useful. You can change some of the phone's settings that aren't accessible through normal menus.

  • The battery last a lot longer if you turn off 3g (Settings, connectivity, network mode, GSM 900/1800). Most of the time you don't need it, and if you do you can just switch it back on. Hope this helps anyone with battery problems.

  • I have managed to get some Samsung z500v Themes to work on this phone from this site but its not in English: Just Download the zip files extract to PC and use the USB cable and transfer the thm extention.

  • Does anybody know where to find themes for this phone? Thanks!

  • Hi ! I perhaps will buy this telephone because I find it perfect, but a point makes me hesitate: the camera... Which damage that it is VGA :( :( What do you think about it? Are the photographs nevertheless of good quality? I hesitate with a SE V600 but I dream of a clamshell... :)

  • the battery thing is a pain but it works fine if you charge it overnight, also even though the battery shows red you have at least half a day and a good few calls left. apparently if you turn of the 3G part then it lasts as long as others, think its in settings and then connections then choose the third one down, check in the carphone warehouse if in doubt,thats where i heard it! good luck all

  • to niall: I think you could get a blutooth adaptor for a printer and send the pictures to print by blutooth. You could even get a small portable printer (up to 6x4 size photos) which has PictBridge and then get a BT adaptor and print that way. Hope this helps.

  • this is the best fone ever,u can download pictures from the internet for free but how do u print pictures.

  • I bought this phone yesterday, so far, I'm not it's biggest fan! Text messaging is complicated and so on. I have a query, is there a way to keep the Sub LCD on when you close the phone? It's really irritating how the lcd just goes off moments after the phone is closed.

  • i have many problem with the battery of my samsung zv10 phone, it lasts no more tham 2 days, like yhe older 90s cels Someone have the same problem thank s

  • What a shame that you can only have an animated gif as a wallpaper/screensaver on the screen inside the phone and not on the outer sub-screen on this phone. If you set an animated gif to the outer LCD it just stays static. I noticed also on this phone that you can listen to an mp3 music with the clamshell shut but you cannot view a 3gp video on the outer LCD when its shut. If you do close the phone the 3gp video stops playing altogether. I am sure that the Outer LCD panel is technically capable of displaying an animated gif picture and videos but for some reason Samsung havent implemented it into the phones original firmware. Shame.

  • oh god the battery on this phone is really bad.does anyone no if there is a promble with the battery?

  • I just bought the phone, and so far i'm quite happy with it. One thing i dont't know: how to set volume for wake-up alarm?! Or is it always set to wake up the neighborhood too?! And is it possible to remove those sci-fi sounds when moving around menus? I just wanted to have normal beeps when pressing a key, and nothing else! Thx u all.

  • Hey I bought this phone before christmas great value such a cool little phone the only problem I had was the battery runs out too quickly :)

  • I bought the phone a couple of days before Christmas Day and I am very happy with it but not happy at how much I have to keep charging the phone! - It tends to go very quickly from 3 bars on the battery icon on the display to red and then i have to charge it every other day or sometimes every evening! I emailed Samsung Technical Support who said it sounded like a battery issue and to try and get a spare battery from my phone suppler (Which would be Vodafone Ireland) and try it with another battery to see if the same thing happens. Not very good though if the battery has gone in it. Its only one month old and some people are saying that there is a big problem with batteries on these samsungs and other samsung phone models. If that is the case then samsung should recall the phones or offer replacement higher capacity batteries free of charge I think.

  • Well whoever mentioned about the USB cable being in the box being a first was right on the money. My eyes almost fell out of my head! EVERYTHING is so easy with this phone. My only disappointment was not being able to store MP3's but of course I'm just being picky. I would prefer an easier way of adding contacts to a text message for sending but I'm used to a Sony and texting is their strong point. I love this phone already and have only had it 2 days. I also agree about the quality of the headphones. The headphones that come in the box are better quality than the headphones you get thrown in with an iPod!

  • no, mine works perfectly... HA!

  • I love this phone. I bought it last week and I'm really happy with its perfomance. The only dissapointing aspect is the capacity of the battery. I think it's a bit short. Menus asre well organized, very simple and with lot of functions. I have noticed that the samsung pc studio that is provided with the phone sometimes has disabled this funtions Manage Contacts & Messages & compose MMS Messages. I've connected 5 times my phone to the pc by usb cable and I only have run the contact function once! I downloaded the most recently samsung software from samsung's site but is always the same problem. Has anyone experienced this problem???

  • is the best phone ever

  • this phone is hot, ilove it. it has everthing a girl wood want.

  • Hi. Just got this phone from vodafone in ireland, great value for money i think. Does anyone know how to get the vodafone.ie off the screen, cant find a logo creator or remover which is compatiable. please help

  • Hi, I've got ZV10 and had the Motorola bluetooth hands-free car kit (BTHCK100) installed in my car. The phone can be paired and connects to the car kit without problems, but when I try to use the car kit's internal voice recognition it doesn't work. When the car kit is in voice recognition training mode I don't know how to send the commands to the kit. If anyone has any experience in bluetooth car kits your help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

  • I was just wondering how do you put a screensaver on your phone without having to download it off the Vodafone Live! I tried hooking up my phone to my computer via cable put there is no screensaver file to save anything into.

  • Hi Karan, I can say that, with the included earphones, the sound quality of the inbuilt MP3 player is excellent. My son listen to it and said it was better than his CD player. The earphones is what does it...you get better quality earphones and the sound quality goes up.

  • i thinking about buying the zv10 but i want to know if the sound quality of the mp3 is any good

  • Loving this phone at the moment. Got this phone before Xmas for 139.00 Euro with 100.00 Euro free credit in Vodafone shop in Ireland. My previous phone (Motorola v220)could play back mp3 as a txt message tone but unfortunately you can only assign mp3 as a ring tone on the samsung ZV10. I used to have a cool talking tone in mp3 format for the V220 saying 'you have a new text message'. To save battery on my samsung I have changed the network from 3G to GPRS instead and I think its saves a bit of battery power but I still find myself having to charge the phone a lot. Trying to figure out if I can transfer Java games and apps from PC to phone using cable but I have a feeling it can only work by WAP. This must be the first phone ever that I have purchased where they have put the USB data cable in with the box what a welcome refreshing change, thanks Samsung. The Supplied Sagem PC Studio is not bad but why have they disabled a couple of features in it like Manage Contacts & Messages & compose MMS Messages???? Shame they only give you Demo's of all the games but I suppose they want you to buy the full versions. They didn't seem to put any screensavers to chose either on my phone. Lastly, what a pain it is that you cannot see the clock on the outer Sub LCD Screen of the phone without pressing a button. Even if in the software/firmware of the phone they done it so that the back light was very, very faint in standby it would mean that you could see the outer LCD display and the clock. I realise though it would most probably shorten the battery life even further though, but if you have it in your pocket and accidentally press the button the backlight comes on full so this must have an effect on battery life. I think to make the phone audio and ringtones sound better they should have put a good quality speaker at the back of the phone for the mp3 tones and video's rather than just utilise the handsets ear speaker which lets it down and makes the tunes tinny and distorted.

  • Message for Niall. I think the Infra-Red goes off to save battery power.

  • this is the best fone ever made but can u lock it

  • Its a very good phone its got everthing but how do u keep infrared on

  • So are you still having problems with batt? Thanks

  • I think this is a very good phone. I had a Samsung a few years back and I hated it. It had almost no aplications not even bluetooth, but this is different. It has almost all the features this phones have nowadays. The only problem is the battery. I bought it yesterday and charged it all night and it is already without battery. I guess this is something everyone is complainig, but besides this it becomes very hot (when I have it in my jeans I have to put it with the sub-LCD next to my legs).

  • Answer to Mickey: Yes it worked :), thanks a lot... I am no going to try to convert .wav and .mp3 to .mmf (midi) to change the message tones... For those interested the program is called smaf from Yamaha... shareware! Cheers!

  • It is a really good phone. But just to warn you, it has an mp3 player, but its not really built to be one that you listen to all the time. its only really used to have cool, funky ringtones and not really built to listen to music all day. The fact that it has only around 50mb of memory shows that and your battery will also drain quite fast... Chances are you already have an mp3 player anyway... If you use it just as a phone (without messing around with it all day) the battery is actually surprising good... You'll notice that in a few weeks when you'll have stopped playing with it... Otherwse, i am really impressed with video calling... i didnt think i wud be... Also if you dont use video calling much, your better off turning UTMS off (aswell as bluetooth) to conserve bettery... Well... enough said... GO AND BUY THIS PHONE ITS UNREAL!!!

  • wohoo, just got that fone for 120 euro in a vodafone shop (with 100euro credit obviously)... Fones are sooo much cheaper here in ireland...

  • I'm also pleased with the phone, except for the battery issue. With to video calls, the battery goes down. Is there some way of avoiding this? Are there available in the market other better batteries?

  • Hello. Im from Slovakia but I bought this fone in Ireland - my soft: ZV10BUEI3. The phone is great, only the problem with downloading java games from pc and the battery are a bit dissapointing....but in overall im very pleased. Mp3 player:I have a State of trance mix in the phone. it is about 30mb in mp4 but was about 140mb in Mp3 and there is nearly no difference in quality!!

  • its a nice phone,it has all those functions, excluding radio.

  • Answer to Jeffrey The code is some kind of format the phone memory. If you read what's written after the code, you'll see that i've warned that by inputting the code, everything from memory will be erased.

  • Hi Rogerio, What is the special code you have input? I have accidently cleared the memory, so that pics, ringtone, videos and game demos are gone. Is there anyway to bring it back? EG. there were 28 pics not only 2, 30 ringtone became 5 ... Thanks, Jeffrey

  • I am finding that my battery is now almost behaving like it should...the top 1/3 is now lasting longer and the battery is now lasting typically 4 days. Must mean that either the battery indicator is learning how long the battery is lasting and is adjusting or that the battery is now working more fully. Either way, I am much happier with the battery life now.

  • The phone is nice to look at but send 10 texts and make half a dozen calls on a full battery and your battery is finished, thats nothing short of a disgrace.

  • Answer to agirg Hi there. I solved my problem by taking it to Vodafone Technical Support. I'm from Portugal, and they solved the problem in 2 hours. Now, i don't know if wherever you're from, they have similar service. Anyway, i found out in a spanish forum, that another person had the same problem. He7She solved the problem by rebooting the phone (Not the Master Reset from Settings>Memory Setting>Phone Memory menu), but by inputting the code: *2767*3855# BUT, this code will DELETE everything you have on the phone, except the contents that came from factory.

  • hey does anyone know how to put music on it ???? windows media player wonmt let me and im at a loss any help would be great

  • Hi Rogerio, My software version is ZV10BUEJ7. How do you solved the problem with the stop of the phone when you try to use Vodafone Live or other wap or web sites? I have the same problem with mine.

  • Hi, Answer for Fulgor: Go to Menu->Settings->Connectivity->Network Mode and select 'GSM 900/1800'. 'UMTS' is for 3G and if you select 'Automatic' and you're in the 3G coverage area the phone will also pick up 3G network. Hope that helps.

  • Yo Joe, Follow this: Go to menu Files sounds and ringtones play the tone you want press down options set as voice ringtone Anyone know how to put tones for the messages instead of poly? Cheers

  • Hi everybody. This mobile is great, although the battery runs short, I managed to convert audio tracks to mp4 (.aac) and it's awesome... For those you don't know, mp4 has much more quality than mp3 (at an higher bit rate) and the file compression is much bigger... I managed to have a full album (43m) in 5/6 Mb... and since the sofware does not allow to install java games, I have deleted them in order to have space for music... Cheers! P.S.: does anyone know how can I deactivate the 3G in order to save battery?

  • YO All you Kiwi's!!!!!! I think this phone ROCKS!! in NZ these phones are SOO cheep, We have them for $349 but Noel Leamings Stuffed up on the Motorola E770 or whatever it is and they orrerd 2X Samsung ZV10 for $599!!!! Awesome phone, Very small and very powerful. Recomended buy!!

  • Hi everyone. Could you all tell me which is your firmware version? You can check this with: *#1234#. Mine is ZV10BUEJ5, and from Vodafone Portugal. I'm just trying to figure out which is the most common and recent version. I'm having this phone for less than 2 months, and i already had 2 major software problems. The first one, the phone restarted by himself everytime i tryed access to vodafone live or other wap/internet, and the most recent one,was not beeing able to send/receive calls, sms, mms, while on 3G mode. I was able to fix the las one by myself, by rebooting it as it came from factory, with a special code.

  • hi i think this cell is the going off at the mo but i cant change the call alert to a ringtone please help me still pimpin my fone

  • Is there a way to manage your contacts besides synchronizing with outlook? The option is available in Pc Studio for the zv10...

  • Hi i'm also from NZ, go bro town! Woo hoo this phone is the cheapest and reliable 3G phone u can buy! It has the same features like other 3G phone and the different is THIS PHONE IS SO CHEAP! ( Cost $350 NZ dollar ) compared to Z500V $700 and have the same features. This phone pack lots of features like Blue tooth MP3 player Infrared good camera, but not the best. alarm Loud speaker phone...etc The battery on this phone are short but thats how it is. All 3G phone use up the battery almost 2 times more than 2G phone. why? Because of it colour quality, camara, MP3, the main one is VIDEO CALLING ( drain battery so fast that why the phone gets hot after u video call for awhile ). Over all i give this phone a 8.8/10 because you can't expand this phone memory (50mb internal). The good part is this phone is user friendly and It's a CHEAP 3G phone. Buy it today!

  • I am from NZ too. Hi ya!! You should have gotten a cable that attaches the phone to the pc via a USB port. Have used mine a few times to upload music files and download pics.

  • Im from NewZealand and they've been out for a while... I love it! Ive used a nokia for the past 7 years so Im having to adjust, especially with not being able to download free ringtones anymore!!! Can you hook the phone up to the computer??!!! :)

  • Honestly, This phone is one of the best in the market. Nice solid build, clean crisp design, awesome LCD screens, Yes it's got voice recording device. I this this phone got just about everything we need on a modern mobile phone... maybe too many features...

  • How much music does the mp3 player hold?

  • It Is So Cool i personally recommend this fone to everyone who is looking to buy a 3G Fone

  • Hi, Thinking of getting either this phone or sharp gx25, but cant decide which is better.does it have voice record and can you record your own realtones eg off radio etc??? is the camera good quality??

  • wee, I Will get one of this with 125� (I don't know how much Dolars is, but its almoust the same) The mobile is excelent!

  • im looking to buy this phone i saw it in a diffrent store but this guy at another store said u can only get it in europe or asia is that true?

  • Scream, The outside screen show the missed calls, messages received, alarms, clock, date and the other usual stuff (battery, signal, etc). But during standby, with the phone closed, it doesn't show anything, unless you open the phone, or press the camera button or press (longer time) the volume buttons. If you keep the phone opened, both screens will turn off after 15, 30sec or 1 minute, or dim during 5, 15, 30sec or 1min. When you close the phone, the outside screen will be on just for a few seconds.

  • Hello! Seems everyone likes the phone. No doubt there is construction quality, and sound is good as well as capture. Alarm, agenda and phone book are great. The graphics in gaming are superb, wonderful experience from what's to come, you have to take the charger with you although. The cons: You get fingerprints all over the phone. When writing messages, you don't have the copy/cut/paste function, personally I find it usefull. Eraser key (C) is right under the pad, you have to be carefull not to erase something important. Well, the phone isn't exactly designed for big fingers, specially the pad and the keys around it. No matter the shell is open or closed, both screens are always on or off together, increasing battery consuming. And most important (and this is unforgivable!): You can't manage your contacts, SMS's or MMS's using PC Studio! You can however syncronise contacts, calendar, tasks and memos with Outlook, manage and view a great deal of Office files, sound, pics and movie files(even SWF's), and that's all. Cumps

  • Could you help me? I would like to get free stuff to my zv-10... Games, themes and those kind of things... Thank you!

  • Does de outside screen shows anything when the phone is on standby (clock, date, lost calls)? Does that just for some time (for instance, just after a call)? Or doesn�t show nothing at all until it�s open? Thanks!

  • I am trying to use my mobile as a dial-up connection to the computer. I have added network connections selected the Samsung as my modem, however i cannot connect. Any ideas?! I rather use my minutes on the weekend to reach internet on dialup. I have Vodaphone Germany service. Ideas?! THanks!

  • To flash the phone you need qualcomm unlocker our samsung z winimei and the flash files. There is no samsung ZV10 original software (because it is vodafone exclusive) so you can use the z140 flash files because the phones are the same...

  • haha, thats awesome, they have bro town as the pic for this phone, WOOHOO GO NZ!!!!

  • thanks for the tip mightybop but how do i flash the mobile for the original software !?! Thanks one more time for the help !!

  • the only way to upload java games to a samsung phones is by gprs, vodafone have locked the way to install games by cable/bluetooth/infra-red. So you have to choices to upload games free (or at least cheaper), you can flash your phone (to the original samsung software) or you get a free server on the web and pay only the download costs by gprs (and don't pay the game to vodafone...)

  • Hi Bacchus. I'm from Portugal, and the software of my ZV10 is ZV10BUEJ5. Anyway, the Vodafone Live menus are all working properly after taking it to Vodafone Techincal assistance.

  • hello i m also from Portugal and i bought this phone (it seems to be pretty cool :) but i tried to instal some games (java games) from my pc to the phone with the cable but the phone doesn t recognize the .jad extention of yhe file wich is the game. i don t know if i have sometyhing special to be able to play !?! i would be very gratefull if someone could help me !!! Xau !

  • SeaN, the photos are not too bad...they are VGA size and are fairly good quality. Not digital camera good but good enough. You do need to alter the compression setting to superfine though to get the best pic quality.

  • well, i am from portugal, and i have one. I have a question!! The LCD continues to show the clock and image or not when is in standbye? mine, when i close it, the LCD just shows the clock for 2 or 3 seconds. :)

  • Hello, it wanted to know like are the photos that the movil does, the quality of the photos, it is good?

  • Hi Roger, can you tell me what SW you are running on the ZV10 and what country you are based in? (to get SW key in *'#1234#). A reflash will deff fix any problems accessing live! Bacchus

  • this was a really good fone

  • Well, i took my phone to Vodafone technical assistance, and they said that the problem wasn't detected, altought they made some tests and adjustments, and now the vodafone live buttons work again, without the phone restarting.

  • Roger, I'm sorry to hear you're having problems with it... :( Hope that they can fix it quickly. My battery dured 3 days in 2G mode, with use of camera, media player, sms, calls, etc... it was the max time until now and I don't think it can do better... :( It's really the only handicap of this phone (my opinion). Cumps

  • I have this phone for 2 weeks now. And i'm already having some problems with it. Every time i press the button to access Vodafone live!, or any other icon related to vodafone live!, my phone just reboots, as if i switched it off and on. I honestly don't know why this started to happen. When i got the phone i could access without problems to vdf live. I just hope that i can be fixed with the replacement of the firmware at Vodafone.

  • Hi. yes, I bought the Samsung ZV10 as well and have been pretty impressed with it generally. I am getting used to the way it does tihngs. Nice screen, easy to read and nice featires. Love the MP3 player ansd the 3G part but I haven't anything to compare it with. I am disapointed with the battery caapcity though, and/or rather the battery indicator. It drops very quickly, even when I am not using it...by the end of the first day, the top 1/3 has gone. Overnight its the second 1/3 but the last 1/3 lasts more than a day...its quite disconcerting to go out on the second day with only 1/3 left as you never know when the battery is going to starting beeping at you to charge it up again. Since its supposed to last 9 days on standby, I wonder whether there is a batch problem with either the board or the battery. Anyone from Samsung like to comment?

  • Hi there,I already have my zv10 2 weeks now, no reason to complain... the outside screen icons are probably from some samsung software version because they are similar to the old samsung phones icons (e700 for example). The outside screen don't change eith the themes, I have lots of themes and any one of them change the outside screen. And the themes aren't avaiable anywhere, you have to do it yourself, its kind of crappy but we still have to wait because only vodafone firmware samsung can use themes...

  • If you select the camera mode, and check the camera shortcuts, you'll see that the image shown, says that the "green" key is to change the display to the mirror image. And the "left" softkey to turn the image upside down. Well, this is not true, you have to use the lateral volume keys to do this.

  • On 2G mode, the last piece of battery icon (it has 3) long one and a half day. So I believe that the battery will last at least three days.

  • only two days in 2g. That's really bad. When my siemens was new, the battery would last almost a week,I just wouldn't worry about it. With my motorola v525, after one day I would have to be careful when leaving home to check if it would last the day. oh well. Doesn't anyone have a zv10 that can last 3 days,lol, with normal usage. Thanks

  • Tilk, that is true, the keypad don't light up when the battery is low. Also, the camera doesn't work, in order to save power.

  • Hey, just to say that it was due to a power saving feature when the cell had low bat that the keypad didn't light up!! Thanks anyway!! Just needed to charge it to get it back to normal.

  • One thing that i don't like on this phone, is that to light the external screen, i have to press the lateral camera button. Before i buy it, i always tought that the external screen would always show up some information. The battery lifetime still lasts about 2 days in GSM 900/1800. By the way, does anyone know where i can find normal ringtones to sms? The phone has some few ringtones, but only one of them is "beep beep". And anyone knows where i can find more themes for the ZV10? I mean, i know how to make them (just basic themes), but it's always better when they're already made.

  • Thank you DUDu.I'm in doubt about ordering the zv-10 or the Motorola E770, by Club Viva (250 pts,a real bargain). The big advantage about the Motorola is that is has Transflash cards slot, so it can be used for serious mp3 playing, but I have a bad experience with Motorola(V525), the battery time was just pathetic. On the other hand I prefer candy bar style cells. How long does the battery last by switching to "manual network" with your Zv-10? Are you really satisfied with the phone.?lol. Thank you . Hope to hear from you soon.

  • Diogo, with this Samsung, you don't have that problem... on the Sub-LCD it shows an icon when you have a sms/mms and it shows something like this when you have a missing call: "1 perdida 919999999" To light up the Sub-LCD you just have to press the lateral camera button on the phone. By the way... one tip to save battery life time, change network mode from automatic to GSM 900/1800. This way, you won't get UMTS(3G) network, but you'll save a lot of battery life time :) Cumps

  • Tilk, my keypad lights up... and I don't think that it's configurable. You phone might have some problem... :( In Vodafone Pt you have 14 days to return it and receive a new one. Cumps

  • Hi again,I've been reading some reviews about samsung cells, especially the ones with clamshell form, and there's something that's not clear. When a person receives an sms, a little symbol, shows in the fine strip of blue letters, together with the time, but if you have a missed call you have nothing. Is this true? It has to at least show something in the coloured part of the external screen, otherwise the external screen renders almost useless, because you would have to "open" the phone to check for missed calls every now and then. Could some one shed some light on this.Thank you. Diogo

  • Elias, no problem ;) But I'm no expert lol just like this Hi-tech stuff :p I've been looking for additional software or upgrade and have not found none, so I guess there isn't much to do about mp3... The only function, that I know, for the data cable is to connect to Samsung Studio3, which can also be done through Bluetooth and Irda. The camera definition is ok... the maximum resolution is 640x480 and it offers 5 different image modes (Superfine, fine, etc...). I don't think you'll notice any difference from your nokia, or maybe just a slight improvement.

  • Hi everyone! Have you ever noticed if the keypad doesn�t light up? I've bought a ZV-10 a few days ago and I just noticed this. It happened when I tried to work with it in the dark!! Are all ZV-10 like this, or is it just mine? Thanks.

  • Another question guys!! What abou the camera? is it strong? Is it Fine? I have a Nokia 6600. Comparing this two cell phones, witch one has more and better image quality and be able to capture best pictures? Regards.

  • Ups! I've already ordered my new cell phone. By the way, thank you Dudu for your help. I supose you're an expert in this issue so I ask you again if it is possible to improve the cell Phone witth some Mp3 software or other else upgrade, dispite the low memory capacity? what can I do with the data cable? What was it made for?

  • With PC Sync, fom Samsung Studio 3, you can only syncronize the following items: Phonebook, Schedule, Task and Memo, and they all work. I've syncronized them with Outlook already. Altough the Phonebook option only syncronizes the contacts on phone memory, not on the SIM memory. But you can always copy all the contacts from your SIM to the Phone memory. About Samsung PC Studio 3, the software itself comes with MMS Composer, and SMS Manager and Phonebook Manager. Just go to C:\Program Files\Samsung\Samsung PC Studio 3 (or wherever you installed the software), and you can see the above applications. But, i can't retrieve either my contacts or sms with these programs. About the battery, it lasts at least 2 days in 2G, with some calls, sms, and taking photos. But i think all phone battery start lasting longer after some recharge's.

  • About the sub-LCD screen, I've notice that also... and I think that: - or the samsung guys "photoshoped" the picture of the cellphone; - or that the icons can be changed with the use of Themes... We only have Vodafone theme, but we can install other themes, which can maybe change those icons. These is just me guessing :p Cumps

  • Roger, I don't think Vodafone would block those functions, there's no reason for that... but you can try downloading the sw from samsung site and see if it does the same thing. I don't believe that they can block those functions of the pc sw from the cell phone, so if they changed something, it had to be in the Studio sw. I really think that it has to be syncronized with Outlook. I didn't understand if you tried it??? Did you? I haven't tried it yet... Elias, you cant use it to listen to mp3, it even comes with stereo phones :p but it only comes with 40Mb of memory and no option of memory cards... so it is somehow limited. Diogo, until now, the longest time of battery life was 2 days lol but I play a lot with it, and so will you! But all 3G phones batteries long few time and this phone has a good battery, 1000mAh!

  • Hi,everyone. i'm considering the samsung ZV-10 to be my next cell, and the only thing that's worriyng me is how long the battery lasts with normal usage, no 3g calls, just normal 2g calls two or three times a day, a few sms , I don't have the time to play with it. I have a siemens ME45, and it lasts for about 3 to 4 days without recharging. As the ZV-10 last that long to anyone.Thank you.

  • Hello!! I'm about to buy one ZV10. Anybody can tell me if i will be able to use it as an Mp3 flash stick in order to listen some loaded music??? Please respond to me!! Greatings from Portugal!

  • By the way, those blue characters/icons can be viewed better on this site: Then click "Image View". That's not how my external screen looks like. And there's no option to change it to look like that.

  • Dudu, i think Vodafone Portugal, (yes, i'm also from Portugal, and i'm writing in english so everyone can understand) might have blocked those functions on the mobile/PC Studio. The SMS and MMS can't be transfered to Outlook, at least i don't know how. But the phonebook, can be transfered to Outlook. Have you noticed that the outside screen is totally diferent to the one shown on Vodafone online store. There's no option on the phone to put the outside screen with blue characters/icons.

  • By the way Roger, I can't also edit MMS or SMS with Samsung PC Studio 3. I think it has to be synchronized with Outlook, other way it doesn't work :) Cumps

  • Greetings from Portugal :) I've bought my ZV10 tow days ago. I had a Siemens S55, so this is my first phone with camera and all that high tech stuff. So far I'm very pleased with it! It has good features, good sw, the camera has good quality, considering the limited resolution. The design is ok, not excellent, but it's not ugly. The antena ruins the overall design... The battery lasts one day lol, but I'm always plaing with it. But all 3G phones batteries sucks, so I'm not surprised. I recommend it!!! ;) Cumps

  • mightybop, can you retrieve with Samsung PC Studio 3, your messages, phonebook, and create MMS?

  • Allready got one! I'm the first to post wooohooo! lol. Great phone, the best samsung I ever had! left behind a e810 more eyecatching but much worse phone. This one is almost comparable with my nokia 6630, lots of options, good software, good personalization features (It as theme!!!)the red and white vodafone mark is not annoying as in most of the mobile phones (like e810 or sharp mobiles). I'm really surprised, great price, great phone!!! I miss only the flash dyode (like e810), the usual blinking colorfull light from samsung and memory card (I can live with that because its just a second phone)
