i had this phone for 4 months but today started freezing and soon as i start txting freezes pisses me off what can i do to make it faster or so it wont freeze
hey is it true that after having this phone for a couple months it stops being able to text? im considering buying this but alot of people seem to have that issue :(
@lena0019 On mine it did, (after having the phone for 2 months), then I did a system restore or reboot to take it back to factory settings. I lost all my contacts, but it was running as good as new. Since then, I installed Windows Mobile 6.5 Standard on it and I have not had any freezing up problems since then.
thank u so much for replying :) one more question... after having upgraded your code to windows 6.5 do u think its worth the purchase price? or do you think the blackberry 8530 is a better phone?
@lena0019 Windows Mobile 6.5 is very nice, the problem is the Samsung Code lacks wi-fi capability. Today, almost every spot you go to (at least where I live in the San Fran Bay Area) has a wi-fi. To not have that on a smart phone is a disgrace. I would definitely get the Blackberry 8530 solely for that reason. I can't stand slow 2G speeds that don't render youtube video properly. If I were you, I would wait on a good smartphone that is coming out on the 4G LTE Network.
@tdsheadcoach Sure you can but unless if you're in Detroit, Dallas/Fort Worth and Las Vegas, you will get slow 2G speeds that have problems rendering the video.
i need help.. ok now honestly do u perfer caliber or code? i was all excited about buying caliber cuz ive always wanted a touchscreen phone, but after watching tons of reviews on code, im seriously cluless now!? plz reply any1 with experience on the 2? ;)
I HAVE A QUESTION. I HAVE THE CODE BUT WHAT I HATE Iz DAT WEN I GET CALLz THE RINGTONE FADEz IN EVEN IF I HAVE IT ON LOUD. HOW CAN I FIX DAT. BECAUSE DAT SHYT BUGz ME LOL BESIDEz DAT DA PHONE Iz DA SHYT
i like your lengthly descriptions of the products..
I am in the market to get a new phone.. I hold onto phones for awhile.. I currently have the old Samsung Messenger which I have had for 2 years.. and its def took its toll of abuse and I am sure would enjoy being retired..
I am currently looking at this phone.. The Code and also The Caliber as well..
the phone is just ok , but the service sucks ! There are not alot of apps . Most apps i could not get to work . Older Windows mobile os . You can't really watch you tube very choppy . The media player sucks very sluggish with my 8gb micro sd . My phone would go drop calls all the time . i would miss calls . i could not take it any more so i switched to a Blackberry on Sprint . 100 % better than metro
6:05 lmao, i like smartphones and i was checking online for a new phone, i got the 2nd Samsung Messager(it broke), this phone caught my eye, but my last phone was heavy and i need a lighter phone, is this one light?
@214megatron The Skyfire browser I use shows webpages as a full desktop HTML browser would. In addition there is a MySpace Windows mobile app available that you can install.
@NeuVdu According to a comment in my "Samsung Code Unboxing" video @punkposer mentioned that "...you can get the code onto a family plan, but it would have to be Metro's regular fam plan where each line gets a $5 discount. Uhm, the family promo plan-"4 lines for $100"- you can't.. "
Oh okay because I called metroPcs and some lady who barely spoke english told me I couldn't, I live in Miami so I hope I can get the phone with my family plan which is the "4 lines for $100" ... Thanks :)
pleaseeee help help help i just got this phone and the msn messanger is not working or facebook its says there `s a connectivity problem ....... I went to metro they dont know what to do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please help i got kinoma play thinking it was going to work but nothing .....nada ..... its says socket not connected!!!!!
I have the same problem in NYC on 1x. I tried the YouTube app instead of the Skyfire browser but its even worse I found. This is a network problem I put up with. let us know if you discover anything better.
There is only one rate plan on the Code that I know of which is the MetroPCS smartphone rate plan of $50. If you change this you'll either lose functionality or get charged for all sorts of stuff. I would avoid changing it.
That is a good question since there is no well known iTunes type of application for these Windows phones. I suppose you could use Zune and you would expect it to integrate well with this Microsoft phone. The reality is you bring your own music and movies to this platform and copy them over to the phone in File Manager directly onto the SD card or use Windows Media Player or the Active Sync mechanism or the web-based MyPhone.
I do Media Messages from my theme's menu, then Menu > New, Select To, Subject, type message, then click Picture/Video button, select the pic, and hit Send. Works fine for me. Even lets me put in more than one pic/video. Check your MMS Options (under Menu > Options) Sending Options / Size. Maybe its set too low. Mine is 495 KB.
Windows Mobile Apps. Like all the "apps" you see in this video and others like Skype, Pandora, Facebook, etc. You can either download in the Microsoft App store called marketplace or just from websites from off the phone's browser like a desktop. Or you can even download from your real desktop and then sync it but I never do that.
To help out Phone Freak, this is the BEST MetroPCS phone, and you can pretty much do ANYTHING on this phone that you can do on your computer. I have tons of music, videos, and apps that I found for free. Its a pocket PC pretty much.
nice video...i'm planning to get this phone on metro....do they make you get a smartphone plan? and if so do you know what is the cost for it (roughly) ?
What they told me is that this phone requires the $50 (plus tax) plan. That is their top of the line smartphone unlimited voice and unlimited data plan (text, gps, and web).
well my sister got this phone and we have been w8ing for them to activate the internet on it and its been more then a week, sucks cuz i was getting this next week and now i dont want to
That is weird. I bought it at bestbuy for 250 and activated at home which took 5 minutes and everything was working fine. You need to $50 plan on this to get unlimited, voice, text, and web.
i was wondering since its like a comupter canit get virus n should i like install a fire wall or some thing n if so could u make a video about it thanks plz
Great question! Microsoft publishes six rules on protecting your Windows Mobile phone since you are right this is a pocket Windows computer and hence hackable. I'll write an article on my blog this week reviewing these six points.
cux i like touch screen fones but idk! i want a GOOD FONE! cux i read touch screen fones the battery goes out fast and does not last for long it's true ? do you know
i am gonna make this an early Christmas present to my self since my aunt broke my phone and is gonna give me money to get a new one, so i am gonna get this one.
I found out that theirs a YouTube app for windows phones. You just tip in YouTube app in google on your phone. You should see if their is and if it works. And make a vid an it. I want to know becouse I might get a samsung code too!
