Samsung SCH-U740 Alias

Any New Firmware or Hacked Firmware for this phone?

Resolution stinks on this phone. And acess to mobile when Flipping screen 1 way stinks big time.

I am thinking of getting the u-740. I am worried about reception. I had the env and the reception was not good in my area. I thought it was the internal antenea but I got blackberry and the reception was good. Had to return that because I couldnt here the ringer and the keys were just to small.

Also is there a missed call alert on this phone? Oh and one more thing if you get the mobile web can you access ebay? Thanks if anyone can help I would appreciate it.

I've had this phone for about 2 weeks now, and everything has been great. Now when i go to set a default sound for texting or incoming calls, it goes right back to VZW Default Tone.
Anyone else having this issue? Is there a Fix for this??

just got the phone and emailed a mp3, saved it as a ringtone, and it sets for contacts,ringers,and alerts!!! works like a charm!!

My phone worked last night. This morning I woke up and I was "searching SVC." I thought it was just bad reception where i was, but when I arrived home i still was "searching SVC." I always have service, and even put it next to my brother's phone, which had perfect service. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I bought the LG HBS-110 Bluetooth Stereo Headset from the Verizon store to pair with my u740 (which I LOVE.) They assured me I would be able to listen to my music and answer calls all from this device. However, I can't get the stereo option to sync. I can make and receive calls, but my music will still only play through the phone's speakers. Anyone know how to fix this?

Verizon told me there is a patch coming for the u740 that will allow stereo headset usage. They could not tell me exactly when they would have it available, but they have news releases internally about it. Anyone else know more about it?

Yea, I ask this on all the phones I'm thinking about getting, but, does this phone have a list or picture/icon menu?

I seriously loathe picture/icon menus and much prefer list. I've looked all around but can't seem to find anything that tells me, so, help?

Has anyone successfully sync'ed their calendar or contacts info with outlook? is it possible. this really determines it for me. i need a calendar. please help!!!

yeoj

whats the fn button on the bottom keyboard, what does it do?

has anybody found a fault in the phone that would activate the one year warranty and enable me, as well as anyone else who has this phone- a brand new one?

thanks.

I truly love this phone, I really do, but when it comes time to use the bluetooth feature... I CRINGE!! I'm on my second phone, and third headset (all of which work fine with my Razr). When I bond ANY of the earpieces (two are Motorola, and the new one is a Samsung.. I thought a proprietary headset would help). The bluetooth connection is crackly, static. I've posted twice here before to see if anyone else has a similar problem, but no one has responded.. HELP!

went from 129.99 to 99.99! yes!
does anyone know how long this will last?

first of all, i got my black u740 yesterday and i love it! some of my favorite features is asnwering calls without opeing the phone as well as reading texts with the phone closed. and teh speakers are great!
i just wanted to ask if anyone knows if the video wallpaper feature drains a lot of your battery? it seems like it would and i dont want to use it if it does. thanks so much! 😁

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to turn off, or change the size limit on text message inbox. It’s telling me my inbox is full when I still have about 40mb left on my phone, is there anyway to allocate more memory to the text message inbox?
Thanks a lot,
SLY

Hi everyone... I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I just got this phone today and I tried to pair it up with my Motorola HS801 bluetooth headset a bunch of times, but the phone will not find the headset. The headset says that it will work with all bluetooth devices, but that seems false. Could anyone help me please?? Thanks in advance!

I'm thinking about getting the u740. I have had the Razr for awhile now and I am very unhappy with it. This is my third one and they don't last. I have been looking and researching the u740 for quite awhile now and I want to know if I should get it or not.
I text quite a bit so the keyboard is a plus and I personally think i could get used to the buttons quite fast. But I always read all these reviews and people complain about how they do not like how some programs can be used only one way. Can you really get used to it or not? I read them and there are so many people saying they have had to take there phones back because of glitches in the phone. Are they just not reliable?
I just need to hear from someone what they think about i...

Wow is the resolution horrible. Mobile web looks like garbage!!!!! WOW i wonder if they will fix this.....i also hate the fact that you can only acces mobile web one way.

I still think the vx8300 LG is the best all around...over this and the vx8600 and the new vx8700

Does anyone know if sprint will get this phone?

can someone pls compare the internet usage on the samsung to that of a blackberry....on my blackberry i visit such sites as espn, imdb, gmail, google, yellow pages etc with pretty much full use, is this somehting i can expect with the samsung...also is there a mini usb jack on this phone...i really love when i can use one charger for everything
