pydimarri 1 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 Hi All, Is this a Go or No go handset please advice. With lack of proper handset upgrades (I am almost all close to move to GSM from a 6 year Reliance customer). Thanks, Arun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ankur1986 3 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 Battery life is really pathetic !!! I am not using it and yet i have to charge it daily... And this time their is no typing mistake.. I mean it... Its giving 22-23 hours backup under very light usage in "Full Network coverage"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ankur1986 3 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 thanks for good review, hope my set will come to me soon, it was feeling good, after listening 3days back up but ankur's question is really valid?? but i thnik hetal's usage might be low, and coverage is good, with saving in backlight.. ankur why don't u write email to mts office to get omh sim, Tata also not provinding MTS sim. Ur welcome ... Naa yaar its not possible ki its giving 3 days backup... My phone was in complete standby yesterday and their was full network coverage, still i have to charge it in night... (and whats more frustrating is that charging takes 3-4 hours to complete.. i know its good for battery if charging takes time...) Let Hetal explain how he is getting 3 days battery backup.... And yaa, u r right.. i think i shoud e-mail them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ankur1986 3 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 Thanx ankur for your time and consideration, can you also please confirm whether it can play videos other than those recorded by its own camera thanx again ur welcome.... Its playing .3gp files easily... .avi files are not supported... And ya the intersting part is about .mp4 files..... I tried playing .mp4 file recorded by the phone itself and it played smoothly... But when i played another .mp4 file (video song) it says "resolution not supported"....... Maybe it needs mp4 files to be in a specific resolution... Will try that using a good video converter soon.... Hi Hetsl, I too got the corby speed. Just wondering if there was a way of adding applications to it. Do let me know. It supports java applications.. but the problem is that those java applications must be touch screen enabled.. otherwise u wont be able to do anything with those applications...

ankur1986 3 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 Hw many contacts we can add in one Group and Hw many groups can be created? Havent tried that bro... but i have one group having 25 contacts in it.. and havent created more new groups.. 7 groups were default available and those are more than enough for me yaar... Guys....i will have to take back my sentence on the battery life made earlier..only for the 1st charge i got 2.5 days.....now i am not even getting one day battery backup with full charge...that too, i only make or receive calls (not more than 60 mins of talk time). i neither play mp3 or fm nor browse....battery backup seems to be a major issue....added to it the charging time is very high ; close to 4 hrs...so, pls purchase this phone only if you are not worried abt battery backup... Correct !!!!! each and every word is 100% correct... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ankur1986 3 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) @ Ankur, What about white list? Can you allow calls only from, say, your home and a couple of friends while blocking rest on the world when you are on a vacation? cant see any white list option.... i think its not present... another thing.. i cant find a way to tunf off and on the blacklist... i added few contacts to blacklist and now i want the blacklist to be turned off... i cant find it... maybe the only way to do that is to remove those all contacts from blacklist manually... and if needed again add them back to the blacklist.... thats bakwaas system !!!!

Correct !!!!! each and every word is 100% correct... yes sir...now i am cursing myself for making the decision of taking this phone...i have totally lost interest in this phone due to very low battery backup...i dare not to touch the touch screen so that i get atleast one day charge...cannot even dream of travelling with this phone.... this has become a white elephant case...only good to see... atleast others can see the posts & take cautious decision in purchasing this phone...

ACS 130 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 @ Hetal Theyre all saying that it lasts longer for the initial few charges after which the life diminishes especially upon using touch screen extensively.. BTW guys.. This is a major point i put forth while attaching the product note. It said only 950mAh ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ankur1986 3 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 i dont read messegs wen they arrive... reading msgs mean reducing the battery power... wen 5-6 msgs comes then i unlock the phone and read all of them at one go.... and then quickly lock it again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
srk006 21 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 that's pretty bad news. with less than one day backup it is definitely not worth the features. But how is Hetal getting such great backups; are you guys sure your set is not faulty? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vvinayakpai 26 Report post Posted January 13, 2010 Sorry to hear your experience with the Speed Nagaraj. High time Samsung did something to rectify this problem because their image is going to take a beating espcially considering the fact that the corby speed is selling like hot cakes (according to local dealers) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwaip 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2010 Anyone tried to test the BB features. It just dont go to the BB mode, its stuck with 1X. Speed was 100 kbps Has anyone tested the speed?

ACS 130 Report post Posted January 13, 2010 @ Nagaraj Try considering buying a spare battery instead of selling at the same discount ! In case battery life is that important for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
::Hitesh:: 1,763 Report post Posted January 13, 2010 ^^^ Good suggestion jayant ji !! He is giving almost Rs800 discount, in same price he will get original battery of samsung. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nags 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2010 @ Nagaraj Try considering buying a spare battery instead of selling at the same discount ! In case battery life is that important for you. i need to go with a higher capacity battery itself. i am not sure which one though that can be interchanged with this model... by the way is there any offline chargers available for these batteries.

::Hitesh:: 1,763 Report post Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) ^^^ offline charger from samsung is available but too costly, but you can buy universal battery charger from road side shop for RS 50/- Edited January 13, 2010 by hitesh123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
