To access the SD card and internal memory of the phone without downloading Kies - have to select "Ask on connetion" in the "USB Settings" menu under "About Phone" in the "Setting" before connecting the USB cable then select "Media Player" after connecting via USB

I think they are not going to do much about the software issues until Android 2.2 is available, since the beam is suppose to be upgradable to android 2.2

Ripper, thanks..

wasted my time with this phone;

today didnt set any settings or installed anything.

Only yesterday downloaded that what "juice" program to act as firewall to prevent 3G download while not on wireless;

install yesterday around 11.30am.. and used it since then until today (more than 28 hrs) later;

then phone blanks out; and i have to remove battery and rest is history.

i'm new to android; is this phone buggy itself or its just android?
ok, u reminded ripper!

for ripper's 2nd freeze, ripper also tried out the Juice Defender! :eek:
maybe that is unstable! :o



ripper truly dunno if it's the phone or the OS.
but ripper saw from another forum that another NexusOne user experienced the same thing.
highly likely it's the OS.

've been using beam for a few days now, did not experience any of the problems you guys face, including spamming ATK to crazy, setting wallpaper from SD, quite responsive actually. lol. everything seems smooth!!! camera is good, after i off the anti-shake.

downloaded a game name caligo or something liddat.. freeze up my beam totally.. had to take out the batt and restart.

but, my memory keeps going downhill even though nth is on. -.-" still, slight lag after ATK, totally acceptable. BUT beam slows down to a crawl when downloading. -.-
yes, if u r download something from the market, ESPECIALLY multiple downloads, it will crawl :sad:



dunno if this is Beam only, or other androids also face the same thing? :s11:

My Nexus One has never blacked out or hanged before. I hope samsung has got some updates that solves these issues.
quite a few pages back, ripper posted a link to a HK forum that a NexusOne user was SOSing for help coz his NexusOne experienced the same freeze we had experienced.

Ok, finally the video is up :D

This video has to be watched with some imagination as my P&S camera can only do this much. And no thanks to the rendering, the video quality got worse after uploading.

Imagine the screen to be crisp sharp, 500% brighter, 500% better contrast and 500% better colour vibrancy as compared to seeing the real thing in person.

Screen projected from the Beam at around 2.5m to 3m distance.
Screen size on the wall is about 1.5m diagonally.

Sunday when I connect my SGB to computer transfer 2.5G MP3. After complete disconnect from computer the phone show scan hard disc for half hour. So no choice to restart the phone. During restart the phone, the phone stuck on ADRIOD page. This morning went to service center, the service center member told me cause by the MP3 I transfer got "virus" cause phone hang. I don't agree on the point, because this is the second time phone hang ready. Request talk to the service center person in-charge. The service center person in-charge told me phone hang cause by "adriod market software". Samsung need to take one to two week to solve this problem. Now only way is refresh the phone software. But temporary don't download any software from adriod market. They will update me latest info.
ripper suspects the samsung stff there dunno what they are talking about.


anyhow bomb stupid reasons that comes from your own suggestions to pacify you only :s22:

this screenshot gives a better picture of the brightness, but is still far from being as good as the real thing.
