Samsung SCH-A670

OK, I really wanted to love this phone (and did mostly). I researched lots of phones before I got it in Oct, and I liked it.

It broke for the FOURTH time this week.

I am absolutely anal about my electronics - never dropped, bounced, or jarred.

I can't bring it into work, so rather than leave it in the cold car, it stayed home all day.

THREE separate, new phones did this "reboot" thing, where it would just cycle (indefinitely) between powerup and shutdown, never actually turned on.

One separate, new phone had some problem with GIN, and had to be replaced.

I think now that the rebooting thing had something to do with trying to use pictures for the opening and/or closing - but the techs had no way to fix it.

I can't be the ...

Hi,

The a670 is a terrific phone, but I have noted that my command, "Contacts," is not readily recognized by VoiceSignal. Can this be remediated?

TIA.

Firmware - S: A670.XD19

I was wondering if this phone has recordable ringtones like the LG VX-7000? I am asking this because it will save me money in the long run from buying ringtones all the time and just recording them over the radio and what not... so does this phone capable of having a recordable ringtone? Also, what phone would you prefer, the SCH-a670 or the LG VX-7000?

Does anyone know where I can get wallpapers for this phone? I appreciate your help. Thanks.

☹️ After I made a ringtone as mid format, I tried to send it from www.vzwpix.com. But I was told that it was not in correct format. which format should I use?

Any input is welcome.

Thanks

I set up my phone to answer a call by pressing any button. I pressed any key to answer a call but the phone keeps ringing and I could not answer the phone. Has anything like this happened to anyone and do you know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance...

I have sent sound files to my phone and it only allows me store only. i am unable to set them as ring tones. does anyone know what i am doing wrong? they are MID files.
thanks

I just purchased the Samsung a670 and the color of the outside layer of the internal LCD is blue when I saw it on verizon. But then I just saw that the color is gray. Were two different different colors made? 🤭

Yes it's possible to get a free ringtone on get it now...I've done it before. You can get one by using Modtones...and you will notice something called "demo" This lets you download one free ringtone or wallpaper, which ever tickles your fancy. The rest you have to pay for. 😎

OK so I need everybody's help with this one!! If you've looked at the lg 6100 you already know my situation....anyways. I had this phone and yes it was a great phone except for the part where i lost soo many calls!! it seemed like everytime i was on the phone i would drop a call. well that doesnt happen now because i lost my precious phone. so im getting a new phone and cant decide if i should stick with this same one (670) or go with the LG VX-6100???? so if anyone out there can give me some help and advice on which phone is better and which one i should spend all my money on!!! 😛 your help is greatly appreciated...thanks!!!

I am choosing between the v265 and a670. Which phone is better? I want a phone with good reception and battery life and I want it to be strong to the hold.

i want to get the extended battery...how much longer does does the xtended batter last caompared to the normal one?

I am new to the a670...only 2 days to be exact and I was wondering if there is a way I can be informed that I have received a new voicemail or text message while I am currently on a call. I have been on a call and gotten a new voicemail message or text message and I didn't know until I got off the phone with the person I was talking to. My old phone used to make a small beep noise during the call. If anyone knows that would be great!

Can I use the MetroPCS version of this phone on Verizon. Is it possible to put Verizons software on here. Please respond quickly as I have one I can buy but I'm a verizon customer and the phone was made for MetroPCS.

Hi,

I'm trying to edit a contact. So, I highlight the selected contact in the "Find" screen, hit "option", "edit", scroll down to the phone number to change, change it and hit OK. Now, if this contact is #20, I will get an error on the "OK" that says the "Phone # already in entry #20!".

I do notice that as I scroll down the contact's various items (home ph, bus ph, etc), a number appears on the "Contacts" bar (right under the signal strength, battery life row). This number changes sometimes, depending on whether I've highlighted the home phone, fax, alias or whatever.

Any assistance would be appreciated!

Not that I intend to use it that much, but it's annoying anyway...

The outside screen on my A670 went dead the other day for no apparent reason. I took it into the Verizon Wireless store last night and they very kindly exchanged it for me. Now when I try to access Get-it-Now, I get the message "Unable to retrieve catalog. Please try again later. (2😎". If I access the Get-it-Now setup (Menu 4, 0, Lock code) the Brew Server Primary and Secondary URLs are blank. I compared this to my wife's phone (also an a670) and she has the URLs apps.myvzw.com, and apps2.myvzw.com. There's no apparent way to change them though.

As a side note, while I was in the store last night, another gentleman came in with the same problem. He said that VZW...

Is there a way to program this phone to show the name AND number (of callers in the phone book) in the external ID screen for an incoming call? It would be helpful to know which number the person is calling from if you're watching your minutes and call only accept IN Network calls. I realize you can make separate entries in the phone book for each number, but wondered if there was another way.
Also, is there a way to have the photo AND the name/number show up on the external ID? When there is no photo available, only the name shows up with no color background or wallpaper or anything. BORING!

Hi I was wondering if there is an upgrade to the firmware for this phone?

Thanks

can i get MobileIm on this phone? on the "HUB" website for verizon they show this phone haveing it bu ti dotn see it

I just got my phone yesterday and was shocked to find that you cannot open the phone while it is in the belt clip that comes with the bundle. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?! 😳 I upgraded from the Samsung a310 and that belt clip allowed the user to open the phone while in the holster, so I KNOW Samsung "gets it". What could they have been thinking this time around? Also, the a670 didn't come with a wrist strap, but no problem, I just used the one from my old phone. Guess just another way to make a buck.......
