Someone in Korea accidently released all the info on this new phone 2 days too early but at first glance it looks fantastic.

4.3" RGB Super AMOLED screen
1GHz dual-core processor
HSPA+, Bluetooth 3.0 & 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi.
1970mAh battery
Weighs 116g (4.09 ounces) and is 8.49mm thick, which makes it one of the thinnest and lightest phones ever.

I deleted some applications and now there's blank spaces on the app screens, how do I rearrange them?

Go into settings, volume, and then try increasing the media volume

Makes no difference to voice calls.

Hey I got this phone about a week ago - love it except for the battery life which is about 3/4 of a day/ To be fair I do listen to a lot of radio and check internet fairly regularly etc. I have searched back a bit but found only people with the same problem. Any solutions or apps I should know about, apart from the obvious? (e.g. screen brightness, not having gps or wireless or bluetooth on unless necessary)

Cheers

Can anyone suggest any method for boosting the volume through the headphone jack? Used the hands-free headphones for the first time tonight, and after 2 minutes of struggling to hear the other person I had to give up, pull in, and just use the phone as normal. Have also noticed that even at max volume the music isn't particularly loud, though I'm guessing winamp or similar might sort that side of it, but it still leaves me with the problem of making calls. Tried it again later when cruising on a smooth dual-carraigeway and it was a bit better, but still very poor in comparison to any other phone I've used in a similar way

Got the phone just a few days ago and have noticed a problem with it. It's too light!

seriously if it fell out of my pocket I wouldn't notice, I have to keep checking my jeans all the time. Maybe I should get a case for it

Anyone know how to get notifications from email addresses other than gmail?

You can set up hotmail to be pushed to your phone, if you are looking for that?

It's just using the regular email app!

I have mine coming in through the SocialHub at the moment. Hotmail and Gmail through it.

Pretty easy set up, walks you through it.

Not super keen on it, but it works.

You have an android phone, but no data pack? Are you planning on just using wifi? Or Pay as you use data? Or none?

I'm not on bill pay and pay €20 a month for unlimited free texts to any network. I was going to have €10 taken from this credit to pay for 700mb data usage a month but I decided to leave it for now and see how much I need the Internet when I'm away from wifi. (I'm stingy when it comes to phone credit- haha)

I mainly will use wifi with it. My gaff and everyone I know has broadband that I'm synched to and hopefully I won't need the Internet more than that.

I don't want to be checking my email, Facebook and everything constantly so I'll restrict myself if I can.

If you had a decent data plan you can get a free app to webtext (Cabbage or Textroid) and could use Skype or Viber to reduce minutes used.

My understanding is it's an inbuilt Samsung GPS tracking app which you register the phone to. Rather than an add on it's there already just to activate it.

I got this phone and find the battery life annoying. It's my first Android phone and a day isn't good enough. It was 50% after a few hours and damn all usage.

I am looking to turn off the auto updates from the internet. I thought having wifi turned off would be enough since I don't have an internet usage subscription with O2, but it still auto checks for emails and facebook updates and I don't want it to. When my 30 free days net usage runs out I've a feeling it will charge me for this.
Can anyone tell me how I turn this feature off?

Folks dunno if y'all know bout this but if u Google getjar its an alternative appstor, u can download the app for it from the site. the main reason to download it is there are a number of about 50 paid apps being offered for free on getjar! there u can also find mp3 downloader pro which is the best music downloader i have found to date!

Got this phone last week after the past 3 years using an iPhone and iOS.

First impressions are good, the Android system is a lot more open and the sheer amounts of things you can do with this phone is incredible. Just last night i discovered i was able to stream my phone media to my PS3 using DNLA. No hassle just click and its done. Nice. Internet browsing experience is fantastic and my god FLASH! at last! No more gaping holes on webpages. Getting used to syncing accounts and background processes etc. Not quite sure if i need any apps to manage the phone better or not i just have the default active program app running on the homepage.

The battery is quite poor and im getting a day max out of it at the moment. I guess once i stop playing with it so much ill get more out of it. I just have Gmail sync on only.

Overall im very happy with the switch, great screen, camera and its FAST! its nice and light too. Happy days.

Whats this Samsung Dive you speak of??

My s2 was stolen before I got to register it with Samsung Dive.
Samsung say there's no way of tracking the phone.
All I have is the IMEI no,is there any way at all of finding the phone?
