Samsung Phones Suck!

[skippybangkok]

got a small Samsung, use as a back up as its good on battery ( positive point ). But......... try and synch one and connect it to you XP based computer......... good luck.

Have spent the last 3 hours trying to connect / sync to get my new contacts into my samsung.

Terrible.

Never again Samsung

Must be your PC, cannot be the phone....

Not the first time....... had this issue many many times. Drivers installed - and loads " found and installed ready for use" yada yada yada.

The open the crappy PC studio........ and do u think u can connect.......nah. ( USB and /or Blue Tooth )

Look at driver lists under system, no driver errors.........

Guys,

you probably did not read the instructions, install all software and drivers before connecting the phone I have had four samsungs and they work perfect.By the way if phone was connected during insall you have a major problem reformat your hard drive ETC.

Cheers

Nope- installed first, then connected. Whats reformat hard drive "ETC". If it means a total re-format - nogo for sure.

Disable your firewall and antivirus and then connect.

Disable your firewall and antivirus and then connect.

Cheers - tried that. Firewall no problem. running AVG virus programme and it wont let me shut it down....tried everything. turned off all that i could in its menu's - still cant connect. Tried terminating AVG in the ctrl-alt-del menu, everytime u terminate it, then it comes back.........

guess will have to write numbers in a little piece of paper........

thanks

Never had this issue with the O2 or iPhone - only samsung.

Have you disabled AVG using msconfig? Start > Run > msconfig > Services > untick AVG box > ok > reboot.

Have used that one before to bypass AVG

My Samsung works fine with XP on my notebook.

I use the Samsung usb cable, so no problems with antivirus (Avira) or firewall.

I had a Samsung G600, it was an excellent phone, survived lots of falls cetc , and great pictures. PC studio was useless though. Now I have an Omnia, it pretty much sucks, It was very non-inuitive to learn. Turns off on its own sometimes. You can barely see the screen outside in the daytime.

could it be a copy ?

Ditto have a Samsung and works great with the old computer.

I've used nothing but Samsung for 10 years & I love them. I ways buy sliders. I'm on about my 6th one.

Nothing but Samsung. Sync via USB cable. Not a problem. running XP of course.
