hello po !

*Samsung Wifi

it depends on how you use your Samsung Star! if you’re careless on using it madali talagang masisira yan! Nokia user din ako but what I found out about Nokia is madaling bumaba ung demand nila! Like the Nokia 6500 slide I bought it last 2008 for 16,000 then pagdating ng 2009 13,000 nalang cya and hindi na cya masyadong considered as an in demand phone to think na hindi cya touch screen at walang Wi-Fi. 3,000 agad ung binaba nya! Unlike Samsung kahit magtagal cya bumaba man ung price nya still hindi ganun kalaki at in demand pa rin sa market.

Marami na kaming gumagamit ng 5233w…okey naman ang phone…kaya lng kailangan maupgrade ung firmware nya..kaya lng takot kami na e.upgrade kasi ung mga blogs na nabasa ko ay bwt sa indian setting man un..baka endi magwork sa phone namin at tsaka endi man un sa wifi…katakot masira…may alam kayo na may blog na sa 5233w?ty

guy..your right you know what nabili ko rn yng phone ko,,hndi brand new but pinaswap ko yng myphone ko..3500 lng dinagdag,,,ang pinakamasya doon ay tlgng brand new yng samsung star na nakuha ko..at wala pang khit isang damage..sv ng store owner yng mayari dw ng samsung na yn,,ay nagipit kya binenta yng samsung star nya kahit bago pa..grabe ganda nya tlga the best,,ito na yta yng pinaka magndang phone na nabili ko:):):)

screen guards are avail at cdr king you can buy for only 80php.. im just customizing the size, it’s cheap rather than buying th original screen guard for 300-500 php

help guys.. how do i configure the sensitivity of the screen?? help po.. thanks..

svetlana****@****.***

tulong po sa s5233 ko….makailang change ko na sa GPRS/WAP at MMS settings ko, “no response” palagi ang resulta, d man lang maka-open maski isang webpage…ni walang icon na G o E ang lumalabas sa screen…..binili ko pa to last year sa italy…..hope someone who encountered the same mobile internet problem or anybody with a helpful idea can help me solve this….thanks a bunch folks…more power…..just email your tips tru… aicrag****@****.***

Hi. I’m gonna buy a samsung star next weekend and I know its much more cheaper now hehe. I read everything about the phone and watched videos about it. Ask ko lang, can i download and install a dictionary?? college student kasi ako, and pano ba magpalit ng firmware? meron kasing s5230 na hello kitty edition at downloadable sya sa torrent. Pwede ko ba iinstall yung firmware ng hello kitty s5230 sa samsung s5233w? kasi ang bibilhin ko s5233w na eh? and last question, gusto ko sana ng pink na theme, e ang available lang ata sa phone green and red pag binili mo, pero sa youtube nakita ko, meron samsung star na pink ang theme? Please reply guys. :)

or contact me:

Still is a month-long saga with Samsung! My SMART plan gave me a Samsung Corby-basic since Nokia was unavailable at that time. I am telling you of my nightmare with that unit. It repeats sms more than 10 times each. How annoying…

SAMSUNG STAR FOR SALE. :D
http://wahoy.com/detail.php?siteid=83587

guys ive heard some issues regarding to that matter, so there are some similarities din pala sa hp… because their product is undeniably great… but once your phone crack, your head will also crack due to chasing to their service centers…, i prefer acer and redfox na tuloy…

about the samsung phone, my friends told me that samsung phones do not last for a long time unlike nokia…

i’m planning to have a corby – the one that has a wifi, but ive read above… why in need of a phone that has a wifi? if i have separate gadget for that?

so it’s better for me to choose nokia, at syempre Republika ng TM hehe, cgeh guys thanks for your posts….

Ask ko lang meron ba talang wifi ang samsung star. Kc nagtanong ako sa mall ang sabi sa akin meron raw me wifi at meron ding walang wifi so anu ba talga meron bang wifi ang samsung star o wla? Kc im planning to buy a samsung star :D

im planning to buy 1, w/c is better to buy?!
samsung star or samsung corby,
anu diff. nila,, buy the way im planning to buy w/c of them basta merong WI-FI acss. if both meron pls tell w/c good?, thankyou godbless
pls. reply,,

It’s around 10k, I saw it from http://www.magkano.com/cellphone/cell_samsung_s5233t-price.htm

hi kakabili ko lang kahapon ng samsung star wifi sale kasi kaya di na ako dalawa isi so far maganda naman siya very user friendly. question lang pano laging kasi Dns failed lumabas pag d2 bahay ok nman pag sa sm

so far so good! i can access my wifi thru my tp link router. at least i know the wifi works hehe. enjoying it!!!!!

may bago na to..it has wifi and 3g.,.:D

I totally agree with Grace Wong. Right now I’m still on the process of fighting my consumer rights with them. I brought my brother’s samsung mobile in Samsung MOA, paid 1,500 for service and parts since it’s not under warranty already. When i got home, the 6 keys is not working. 2 days after I brought it back to them (note: 3 months ang warranty ng service nila). Now they’re telling me I have to pay another 1k plus because they think the keypad is really not working from the day i brought it to them. wtf! ni-release nila skin yung phone ng walang sinasabing nakitang ibang sira! ilang linggo nasa kanila yun hinde nila nalaman. may nagalaw sila dun kaya nasira at ayaw nilang aminin. napaka-rude ng technical nila kung makipag-usap. sabi pa skin bubuksan daw nya sa harap ko yung phone para makita ko na hinde related yung ginawa nya keypad. hello, ano malay ko dyan. naka-samnsung kaming lahat sa bahay, as in lahat. pag nasira tong mga to, never never ko ng dadalhin sa Service center bibili na lang ako ng bago at definitely hinde na Samsung. wala ring kwenta customer service nila. para ngang hinde customer service kase umpisa pa lang napaka-obvious na papanigan na nya kagad yung technical na gumawa ng phone ko.

np. enjoy! :D

@ojoj
After calling 223, press and hold [lock] button at the right side nun phone, lalabas ngaun yung options for you to choose additional actions.. may icon dun for keypad. =)

its hard to use this. anyway Nice digital camera review

i’m considering getting the samsung star wifi. but i read along that it doesn’t work with tp link router? yun ang gamit ko sa bahay and wala itong password. do u think i will have problems connecting at home? thanks!

hello po. had my star s5223, ayaw gumana ng wi-fi ? help po.. thanks!

Samsung s5233 – P7900
Samsung s5233 w/ wifi – P9900

@crickies you can check out the Mobile Wonders web site. we have lots of affordable and high quality cellphone accessories and gadgets including screen protectors.

I bought this nice phone last year Nov. 6, 2009.
I hope this phone will have many games in the future.
color white. dapat talaga alagaan. this phone is one of my new friends i’d say ^_^. sabi nila 20k to 30k raw price pagkakita nila.hehe. I love samsung. one thing i hate. i can’t use my more widget/s, accuweather. disappointing. I bought the phone at Ormoc City.

Hello to all!
I am a loyal nokia user before and this January I buy samsung star.
Just want to ask something.. my friend forwarded mms but I cant view the picture. It just stored in my inbox and the only options I can do is to retrieve, move to folder, and delete. When I am attempting to retrieve the file it said.. Retrieving failed. No response. Try again.
I’ll appreciate if you can help me with this matter. Thanks!

@Benjo: actually, i was surprised it lasted that long since i was told by owners of other samsung phones the same thing. one more reason to be proud of the phone. hope you enjoy using it =)

as for the camera, my experience has been good so far.

@idlewild
Ah ic, oh, I havn’t seen the battery potential for my Star, I just had it for 3 days. I guess i’ll have a hard time draining this one. ^^

@all
Sorry for the assumption on all batteries, but so far, all the samsung I had ran out of battery in just 1 1/2 days. But as I said, I havn’t gotten the most out of my battery for the star.

my cam sucks even in a bright place. photos always look yellowish. cannot capture the true colors of the surroundings. i’ve checked the settings, everything’s right but still the image quality is so bad.

TO:joyce
>> at first i had issues as well with the cam itself. adjust the camera settings and make sure your using the approriate one. the phone doesnt have any flash features so if your on a dim area definitely you will capture a dim picture.

Feel free to ask if you have any concern.
I’ll try to answer your questions as much as I can.

Godbles..

im so loving my phone..
i had it since september 2009 and its sooper cool but there’s just one thing that i dont like about it.

i cant change the theme or screen.. ugggh..

but all in all i love it..
i have the pearl white one..
(n__n)

dami naninira sa samsung star ha baka naman di nila kaya afford yung phone sinisiraan nila

is this a music phone?

Ask ko lang po.. pede bang mag UZZAP sa samsung star S5233? thnks!

to know your current firmware type in keypad *#1234#

!note: chnging your firmware voids your warranty :)

how can i know my current fimware?

I need assistance, how can I turn off the display of radio and music player, it always in the display even I’m not using it. thanks

How do transfer jar games/apps? Mass storage mode? Dir?

@idlewild: Its more responsive and no problem at all.Im always wearing a bluetooth handsfree and I dont encounter any problem with it even file transfer using bluetooth. The wifi.. I can connect easily with this firmware not like the old one.But what i saw is the memory before 80mb was left on the phone but now it takes only 50mb maybe because of this additional games.

@idlewild: “FOR SAMSUNG STAR WIFI”
“CHANGES SA S5230WXEIL1 FIRMWARES”
There is bug fix for Wifi “Connection Lost” problem.

If you tap the “LOCK” button (side button) two times the phone light will turn off. (First tap locks the Touchscreen. Second tap turns the lights off). Small but cool improvement.

Samsung Mobile Browser version updated from v0.8 to v1.0 (Faster loading, better appearence)

Magnification(Zoom) limit is much higher for pictures and photos(NOT CAMERA, ONLY PICS). This is very cool, if you want, you can zoom photos to last pixel

Several bug fixes and few more improvement

@Dee: wifi is good. been connecting to different access points, both secured and open with no problems. you just need to set your connection to that access point to use wifi well.

can’t give any feedback on your question over SMS.

Hello guys,

Just a few questions…
Is it true that wifi is no good that you have to provide the ISP or the wifi connection and your CP’s IP as well?

Is it true that you’ll have a problem regarding SMS or issues regarding INBOX? Na it usually hangs daw kapag bulk messgaes na kahit 8GB na cp mo even if its stored in SIM MEMORY? How true? Because I am planning to buy one tomorrow. :)

Using this phone often as modem for online browsing.

1 thing about its pc studio, i cant import phonebook and send sms tru the software, “phonebook file not found” or something is missing.

I am very satisfied overall with its features.

Thanks!

@RameeAdams, @queng: check your browser profile settings under main menu -> settings -> application settings -> browser profiles. make sure the wifi AP you’re going to use is selected. you also need to set the VOD settings for the media player (under application settings) to this as well if you’re going to stream youtube videos.

i usually set my home wifi as default for both and just change it when needed to use other wifi APs. haven’t used GPRS though but you should be seeing your provider’s connection under the browser profile as well.

Good morning, everyone!

Hubby just gifted me with a Samsung star w/ wifi (would love to have the one in soft pink kaso silver binili niya para raw pwede rin nya gamitin…;)

Anyway, hope you can help me with the following concerns/queries…

• Can I copy/move all my contacts from my old phone to Star in just one go? What I’ve been doing kasi so far is to transfer each contact one by one through Bluetooth.

• I read in some posts that they’re able to watch movies thru this fone. How do I do that?

• When I’m connected to wi-fi, how do I know that I’m browsing thru the wifi and not thru Globe’s GRPS? When I tried last night kasi, I got an immediate connection to our wifi sa house. When I opened the browser and tried to surf a site, me nag-prompt na “your…can’t connect, would you like to switch to wifi?” How do I surf na straight to wifi kaagad?

Hope somebody can help me. Thanks so much!

i did more research on the problem relating to youtube over wifi and apparently, it’s not only limited to this particular phone. i’ve read about some users experiencing the same problem with their se, nokia, and even blackberry phones. turns out it has something to do with routers blocking off rtsp streams.

if you notice, the youtube icon is just a shortcut to m.youtube.com. when you click on a video, it is streamed thru rtsp. provided you can access the internet thru wifi but getting errors when loading the video, your router is probably at fault as explained here: http://help.youtube.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=87027

“If your phone isn’t playing any videos while you’re on WiFi, the WiFi connection might not allow RTSP streaming traffic.”

so the solution is to allow rtsp streams in your router. some routers are already configured for this but for the others, you’ll have to do it yourself. this is a bit technical to set up so you might want to ask some people to do it for you. i got my idea here:
http://www.esato.com/archive/t.php/t-162983,1.html.

i just basically turned DMZ on for my phone and all is good now :)

hope this helps current and future owners of this phone. before making any conclusions that its wifi feature isn’t good enough, consider checking that you’re using the right configuration.

reiterating what i posted before, when accessing the internet make sure of the following:

1) you are connected to either an open wifi or a secured one with a correct network key
2) your browser profile, media player vod setting, and java application connection setting are configured to use this connection
3) the router is configured to allow rtsp streams

idlewild replied on Jan 5th, 2010 at 12:31 pm (395)

@ria, i guess you’re right regarding the youtube issue. i was able to view youtube videos using our office’s wifi (linksys router) kahit na password-protected pero hindi sa bahay (tplink router).

i think it really doesn’t matter if password-protected ang access point. i think it all boils down to this:

1) you are connected to either an open wifi or a secured one with a correct network key
2) your browser profile and media player vod settings are configured to use this connection
3) router is compatible with your phone

overall, i’m happy with the phone. very responsive touch screen.

-GANTO ANG MGA GUSTO KONG CUSTOMER NUNG NAG WOWORK PA KO. MATALINO! HAHAHA! UNG IBA KASI SPOONFEED. THEY WONT EVEN TRY TO FIGURE THINGS OUT!

daniel_giovannie Hindi sya nakaka edit ng ms documents. Viewer lang sya. Ung Mga windows mobile ng samsung and Samsung hd nakaka view at edit ngMs Word at Excel.

vav- ang star nakaka view ng ms word at excel pero ppt hindi ko sure. Basta Docu viewer ang star hindi edit.

For the wifi na hindi maka view ng Utube, according sa nakausap ko sa sepco nung nagwowork pa ko dun, may compatibility pa daw kasi ung phone sa router.

Base on my experience, nakakapag utube naman ako kaso may times tlaga na ayaw. Ang sinsabi ay BAD REQUEST. So hindi rin masure if sa connection nyo, sa phone, sa wifi/router or may mali kayong setting or may kailangan i-configure.

Hindi naman kasi ako ganun ka apektado sa youtube issue. Pwede naman kasi mag youtube sa laptop o pc. Pwede din naman maglagay ng videos sa phone. Maraming alternative. :)

when I was still working at SEPCO, natatawa nalang din ako because some people expect so much from samsung phones specially sa mga high end.

It’s still a phone! It’s not a tv. It’s not a laptop.

Yun lang :)

the counter part of this for nokia is nokia 5800 xpres music! see spechs

hi guys

@ manny, that’s also my problem. ayaw mag open ng youtube, haven’t tried using any wifi hotspot that doesn’t require a password. sucks din kasi may password yong wifi dito sa bahay. wala ba iba magagawa jan?

i really wanted n5530xm, it has some features that star doesn’t have. but for 2 weeks now, i’m happy with the phone naman.

additional question nga pala, does it support ms word and ppt files?

anyone here used to buy cellphone in greenhills?

ok naman ba?… thanks uli :D

if you like sounds buy n 5800!!!!!!!!

local shop here in ilocos. wala kc sa flyers ng samsung, not indicated na quadband ang s5233. thats why. :(

anyways, thanks ria, and happy new year.

and what is HSDPA anyway?

KEI, my bad. well sa wifi, problem lang naman kapag hindi malakas ang signal ng pinag coconnectan mo. so dapat talaga malapit ka sa router/provider. Sa freezing, never ko naman un naexperience pero naeexperience ko is minsan namamatay ang phone.

RODJ, medyo mahina talaga ung sounds ng samsung. Pwera sa M3510. dun kasi nalalakasan ako. (Dapat lang kasi kasama ung sa mga the beat editions which is counterpart ng Express Music) Kung level 14 na ung sounds mo, sagad na un!

Regarding sa camera, check nyo kung sagad na 3.2mp na sya. Pero since wala syang flash, hindi ok pag madilim na ung lugar or pangit ang ilaw indoors.

Sa price naman, naging 11k lang ung s5233w with free umbrella, bag, micro sd na 2gb, silicon case nung great samsung sale period. Standard price un sa mga GSS participants sa MOA MEGA NORTH EDSA. :)

Ngayon hindi ko lang alam magkano pero feeling ko bababa na ung value ng star kasi magkakaron ng corby pro (B5310) next year. 3g na kasi un na wifi. touch screen and qwerty na rin. Improved version of the b3410.

http://technogra.ph/2009/12/14/the-samsung-corby-pro-b5310-excites-me/

kaso kaya hindi ko to hinintay kasi ayoko ng mga nasslide na phones kasi magiging problem dto in the future is ung flex nya. Mahal kasi ang flex kapag hindi na under warranty plus labor mo pa! :) sayang lang kasi 3g phone na sya na touch scree na may wifi. :P

KEI SORRY AGAIN! NAME MO NALAGAY KO!!! PEACE TYO

@RIA alam ko pong walang flash ang s5233w, I’ve read that already sa specs. Si DETCRUZ po ang naghahanap ng flash. I was asking po about sa problem sa wifi and the issues about the phone freezing kung totoo ba talaga. Please read the replies carefully.

Hai! i have the samsung star w/o wifi. maayus naman lahat, one thing na ayaw ko sa star camera is that AYAW nya sa artificial light, i min sobrang pangit nya kapag indoor. grabe, under sunlight lang gusto nya. gaunu rin ba sa inyong mga owners? and Can somebody teach me how the samsung studio works, pls. hindi ko kse tlaga alm pls. and may flv to 3gp converter ba ang samsung studio, videos which i can play on my phone? tnx, merry christmas everyone

Ria,

Pangit po ba talaga yung sound or sa speaker lang ng phone? Sayang naman kung hindi maganda quality ng sounds, mas gusto ko kasi mag soundtrip kaysa kumuha ng picture.

Nalilito na ako kung Cookie or Star pagiipunan ko haha! Pero based on the reviews and comments regarding these two, I guess Star wins :)

Kaya lang, may naka-experience na ba na nawawalan ng signal dito sa Star?

Thanks!

Kapag hindi gumagana ung youtube, try nyo installan ng flash player. Isa din reason is hindi compatible yung wifi sa phone. Un lang ang sinbi skn ng employee sa samsung. :) I used to work for samsung rin pala so if you have any questions, baka makatulong din ako

I want to buy the model with wifi in white… pero parang nadadalawang isip po tuloy ako because of the comments I’ve read here about the problem sa wifi and the issues about the phone freezing. Can anyone confirm this? hindi po ba talaga maganda bilhin yung s5233w?

i just bought a samausng star with wifi two days ago and it has been causing me stress.the wifi doesn’t work.always getting dns error.nakakasisi.

for the price update, here it is:

original.. i asked samsung personnel to check my phone and he says it’s original but the only thing is no warranty. complete. pouch, headset, charger, cd and manual

anyone knows if it’ possible to place 1 picture per desktop?? cause when i’m setting a pic as wallpaper the pic divides into three… it does not look good… but the phone is good.. the features is good..

FOR ALL WHO WILL BUY SAMSUNG STAR:

I JUST BOUGHT MY STAR WIFI LAST MONTH AND HAPPY USING IT. BUT WHEN I REVIEW THE SPECS OF N5530 I FIND IT MORE USEFUL AND MUCH BETTER THAN STAR WIFI THATS WHY NOW I REGRET THAT I DIDNT CHECK NOKIA 5530 FIRST BEFORE DECIDING TO BUY STAR WIFI…SOME OF THE FEATURES THAT LACKS THE STAR WIFI WHICH N5530 HAVE ARE THE FF:

STAR WIFI HAVE LIMITED SPACE FOR MSGS ONLY
(200 INBOX, 200 SENT, 50 DRAFTS, 50 OUTBOX)
WHICH IS IN N5530 YOU CAN HAVE INBOX MSGS UNLIMITED AS LONG AS MMC IS NOT FULL…

AND ALSO IN STAR WIFI YOU CANT DO MULTI-TASKING BECAUSE IT DONT HAVE TASKBAR I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS BECAUSE FOR WHILE YOU ARE WATCHING VIDEOS FOR EXAMPLE AND IN THE MIDDLE OF WATCHING A MOVIE YOU RECEIVED A MESSAGE THEN YOU HAVE TO CLOSE FIRST THE MEDIA PLAYER AND GO TO INBOX AND THEN IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE WHAT YOU ARE WATCHING THEN YOU AHVE TO GO BACK TO MEDIA PLAYER AND FORWARD TO THE SCENE YOU LAST VIEWED…UNLIKE FOR N5530 YOU CAN RUN MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS WITHOUT CLOSING IT FOR EXAMPLE LIKE IN THIS CASE IF YOUR VIEWING A VIDEO AND SOMEONE SEND YOU A MESSAGE YOU CAN EASILY ACCESS THE MAIN MENU ONLY BY PRESSING THE MENU AND GO TO MESSAGES THEN PRESS AGAIN THE MENU AND GO BACK TO THE VIDEO YOU ARE WATCHING WITHOUT CLOSING IT.

ONE MORE THING IS STAR WIFI ONLY HAVE 2 THEMES AND YOU CANT DOWNLOAD MORE THEMES TO INSTALL TO YOUR FONE WHAT YOU CAN DO IS TO CHANGE YOUR WALLPAPER SO THAT IT LOOK LIKE MORE UNIQUE UNLIKE TO NOKIA 5530 WHICH YOU CAN DOWNLOAD LOTS OF DIFFERENT THEMES IN MANY WEBSITES…

THE EARPIECE AND THE SPEAKER OF STAR WIFI IS ALSO THE SAME. THE FONT SIZE CANNOT BE CHANGE…

SO GUYS IF YOU WOULD ASK ME I WILL BUY N5530 WHICK COST A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN STAR WIFI…

STAR WIFI COST 11K AND N5530 IS 13K…

IF SOMEONE LIKE TO BUY MY STAR WIFI WHICH I BOUGHT A MONTH AGO AT SAMSUNG STORE AND IS STILL COVERED WITH 1 YEAR WARRANTY JUST LEAVE ME A MESSAGE…

I WILL BUY N5530……TNX GUYS!!!

I bought mine at alimall din last saturday lang. Pero ang free ko lng is the sling bag and swiss knife. Bakit ganun?

i bought my samsung star wifi @alimall for 11k, w/ free bag, umbrella, 2gb micro sd, leather case and free e1080 phone upon presenting my receipt the next day. super mega sulit sya ksi daming free, i can connect to the net thru gprs and edge pero sa wifi dns failed lagi. help help help!

@joje, sa samsung ko nbili ung star wifi ko, super duper ok na for me.i can use both wifi and gprs anytime. punta ka sa samsung b4 nov ends para sale pa.8,900 w/o wifi.11k w/ wifi.

i got mine for 11k with free bag, umbrella and white casing na un/:P pero wala naman free MSD eh.

dun sa mga may prob sa gprs, go to ur nearest tel. co…pero sasabihin nila wala pa sa list nila ang star..kulitin nyo para ayusin nila( pero the truth is di nila alam use ung fone.)paayos nyo settings

about tsa DNS error, if the connection sucks u’ll recv a DNS error.

pag wifi use mo, check mo settings then browse profile then click mo ung wifi or if GPRS globe connect if nka plan ka, if no, sa globe internet
lang…depende sa connection na gusto mo.

Hey guys. Good thing someone started this thread. Thank you.

Anyhow. I’m planning to buy this phone, star, but without wifi. I’m just wondering what possible problems I might encounter with this phone. What i should be prepared of.

Btw, samsung is on sale now that’s why im planning to buy. haha. if im not able to purchase this one, i’ll go with sony ericsson. i only want this ’cause of its price and of being a touch screen type. (First time)

i hope this phone will last for 1 1/2 year. :)

No one’s answered the “Is the Star compatible with a Mac” question, and Google isn’t too helpful. Does anyone have any information on this?

waaahh.. super confuse wat am i going 2 buy.. n5530 or samsung star.. but i agree with grace wong msmdli mgpgawa ng nokia compare with samsung.. i like the look of samsung star but n5530 have wifi.. help me wat should i buy.. since d nmn cla ngkakalau ng price…help pls

ang problem lang na sabi sa Samsung, hindi daw pwede simultaneous ang applications. So kunwari you’re surfing the net then may nag-text, you first need to close your browser before you could access your inbox. Then, panibagong session ulit sa internet.

tama ba ito?

doon sa nagsasabi na why need a phone with WiFi if you already have a laptop.. mas madaling mag-access sa net thru phone lalo na if you just need to have a quick look sa isang website. May wifi dito sa bahay and most of the time gusto ko lang mag-check nang mabilis sa isang website. Mas dyahe kung turn on ko pa PC/Laptop ko (wait pa mag boot). Ayun, and for example yung resto na pinuntahan mo may free wifi, sayang naman kasi not all the time dala ko ang laptop/netbook ko, so again, quick browsing sa internet magagawa ko thru wifi. Like kanina, we just need to check kung how much yung accommodation sa isang hotel tapos free wifi sa coffee shop, no one brought a laptop and our phones do not have wlan/wifi. Sad db? hehe.

hi sa mga globe user my gprs setting na ba para sa star?nung tumwag kasi ako lastmonth ang sabi wala pa daw silang settings..i dont know if meron n ngaun…

ask lng po..san mkakabili ng iphone clone na 2-3k lng??

@beckster san daw nkakabili ng nine?? may nkita aku sa welcom 9790.. sa rob gelleria.. at ung isa pang store dun it’s 10k+ pero sa samsung sa megamol 11k nga

just bought my GT S5233W yesterday.. so far, i’m liking it..^^..

hey guys, if cud give me some tips to maximize the use of my fone, that wud be great..( ung mga wala sa manual..hehe)

san pati pde download ng widgets/ games/ apps nito..thanks!

can someone let me know how to get cookies for this phone

my new problem is i cannot use the USB i always receive an error like this usb is not recognized… haaaaay.. i dont know if my phone has the problem or my PC :(

just got my new s5233 unit. kaso lng, got some trouble activating my GPRS. had consulted my service provider but as per them, di rin nila maactivate kasi daw wla p daw sa list nila tong model. i tried it manual activation pero di pa rin gumagana. please help me on this. tnx

I found out that the iphone clone with wifi is 7.2k. Better than star in the sense that it is cheaper, it has autofocus, it has 3g. Not as good as the real iphone as it can’t modify ms office documents so limited lang siya parang star. There was an iphone clone exactly the same as the iphone 15k lang pero nawala na sa market dahil iphone filed a case or something.

anyway you can contact ANYA NEA AT (02)-3572889 / (0927)-8777810 / (0923)-2201391
for more details. Nagsisisi na ako, I should have bought this clone or I should have bought the exact iphone clone. Cheaper na, stronger pa. Well, life is like that.

i already access the wifi:)

san pwede makadownload ng themes ng samsung star?

bianca, star is better as it has wifi. corby wala. kung magcorby ka lang, get a iphone clone for 2k

rainmarc, same problem. we can’t use it at home

me_ming, get an iphone or iphone with wifi clone

carlo, corby is 7.9k

javee, star wifi is 11k, w/o wifi is 8.99k

magkano kaya samsung corby??

kuya manny, kapag ba nagyoutube ka sa bahay mo, nagpaplay ung youtube pero black lng and walang sound? kasi sakin, nagloload ung time para sa video pero wala ung video eh… is it my internet or router??

I’m using PLDT DSL and a linksys router..

@ manny i tried na pumunta sa 2 samsung store pero di nila mgawan ng paraan.. pinapuunta nila ko sa north edsa baka system upgrade daw kailangan.. haaaaay

ei guys,pahelp naman po.. i got my samsung star kaso problem hndi ko mgamit yung wifi..ang lumalabas DNS failed.. anyone could help me set up the wifi please.. would greatly appreciated..thnks a lot:)

hi.. i was in starmall yesterday and i found out na meron na ding iphone china with wifi you can get it for 7500 neg. pa yon… hehehe.. ano kaya mas maganda yong clone iphone or etong star??? i want to buy new phone at the end of the month e..

any update guys kung meron additional applicatons tayong pwedeng install?

It’s a good phone, has many features, but still has many irritating limitations.

Has anyone tried to synch it with a pc? I tried to install the bundled software in 3 different pc’s and 2 different Os, but they don’t work. The Samsung site does not list support for this model.

Another limitation is that you can’t store business cards sent to you from most other phones.

hi guys! question, gusto ko maglagay ng video sa phone ko gamit ung pc studio kaso kapag dndrag ko na yung video sa phone ko, ngeerror.. ang lumalabas reconnect the device or restart the program.. bakit ganun?? please help me.. tpos nung iinstall ko yung pc studio sa laptop ko, ngffailed yung sa usb driver.. bakit ganun?? please please help me.. i’ll wait for your reply.

pink, as I said, it depends on your needs. If you do not need wifi while outside the house, then get the cheap iphone clones (which do not have wifi) which cost only 2.8k. If you need mobile wifi, then get this star wifi as this is the cheapest and is okay naman in function. I would not buy the plain star (no wifi) at 8.5k when I can get the iphone clone (which do not have wifi) for 2.8k only. I am also eagerly awaiting iphone clones with wifi below 10k. Hopefully they become a reality.

siddharta, please teach us how to install ym. Teach us also how to install other programs.

Twinkle, that is really weird di ba. Baka nga our routers have password kaya di makaconnect sa bahay. Baka dapat tanggalin natin. It shows you how the help desk people in Samsung do not know what they are talking about.

pink, it depends on your needs and budget. If you don’t need wifi, then get the cheaper iphone clones that cost 2.8k only. If you need wifi, then this is it. If you have lots of money and need to read ebooks, etc etc, then get the iphone.

sulit bang bumili ng star wifi?

hahaha… LOL now i know how to install yahoo messenger in this phone hahaha yeahhh cool. and verry easy to use wifi its cool nice but i love my iphone parin hehehhe!!!!

we should be happy with dis fone guys… madaling magdepreciate ang value ng gadgets… nagsisi ako nung binili ko yung n96 before. ganun lang din naman ang features wifi at 16 gb at 3g… bought it for 26k… pero nung bebenta na magkano nalang nasa 15k or less nakakahinayang di ba? compare nung nakuha ko tung fone na to parang kahit lumipas ang buwan di ako magsisisi may lumabas mang bago makakabili ka uli… tama si manny by year or two mas may lalabas na cheaper touchscreen fones na powerful na din… :) may laptop naman for wifi di ba?

oh thats soooooooooooooo sad manny……:(
whats the use of wifi and the youtube thingy in this fone.. parang nagsisi ako i should have gotten a nokia fone :(

manny, thanks alot.. sorry i asked too much.haha.
:)

manny,i still cant watch youtube videos using wifi here at home..i followed the instructions you gave me.. do i have to install something from the cd or what??

super cool phone. just bought mine last saturday for Php8,990.00. I bought it immediately after i saw it on display. such a cheap price for a nice looking touch screen phone. can’t stop playing with it.. even my office mates borrow my phone just to know how it works.

i just wat to know how much na ba yung star w/o wifi (yung SRP nya sa market) and also want to know kung mgkano yung wifi ready na samsung star. please help….. thank you po!!!

by the way im from batangas kasi…i need to know kung mas mura sa manila yung meron ng free na mem card na samsung star wifi at how much ito…kung mas mura sa manila i think doon nalang ako bibili..thanks

manny, thanks for the info.. inadjust ko yung key length to 128,so up to 26 characters sya. i can now use wifi at home..thanks alot:)im lovin my star more:)

Elbert, sabi ng shop people, wala talaga for messages. It goes to the sim and phone memory. The others can go to the sd card.

It was very weird that I was able to watch you tube movies in the mall using the free wifi. Hindi ko magawa sa bahay. I will try again.

As for my pdf inquiry, they do not know. They suggest that I call the hotline of Samsung and inquire with them.

i’ve been using my star S5233 wi-fi for a month and so far wala nmang problema. It’s the best selling wi-fi touch pone now. It comes with leather case and 4gb sd nung nabili ko. Its very cheap for 11k but looks so expensive.

talaga bang walang kasama na mem card sa package na to

manny press mo yung volume key sa gilid lalaki na yun…. about sa settings sa messages na sa phone memory agad papasok… la sa options tung sakin… pics at files lang nalilipat sa sd…

saka musta naman ang battery life nito? ok ba yung camera, wala kasi syang flash di ba? hirap naman magdecide…

elbert, nasa options sa settings,you can move all info to the sd card

neil, walang gray. there is silver, white, pink and black

samsung star, how do I enlarge the view when I am on the net. some of the websites I went to had small fonts, di ko mabasa mabuti. Paturo naman.

gwenry, I do not know how sony ericsson p1i is.

ned, it is everywhere. may great samsung sale now. mabenta yung star wifi. value for money talaga. just go to any samsung shop or other shops participating in it.

jtudz, yes it supports a maximum of 8gb microsd card. when i got mine, pinalagay ko na kaagad and i had the person program it so all files will go to the microsd and not to the sim card.

SO, PATANONG LANG,
who knows how to enlarge the view when you are in the web and you need to see zoom in to see the letters better?

WTF!!! meron na ba talagang Star WiFi?? Kakabili ko lang ng Star ko last 2 weeks….does anyone of you know kung san may available nito? thanks…

The Samunsg Star is very much comparable with the Cookie. Both the Cookie and the Star are great phones that provide a good user experience at a good price. What is even better is that the Samsung Star is now available with wireless internet, because I really don’t think there are a lot of people these days who can do without internet on their phone. Even when browsing on your phone isn’t such a great user experience, at times it can be very handy.

pls help! just need to know if there’s a option na sa phone memory agad papasok yung messages at hindi sa sim card memory?

Nice and cool phone. Very affordable and easy to use. Everyone must try it!

bought samsung star yesterday. di na ko nanguha ng may wifi since may laptop ako… just to share 9k plus yung wala at yung may wifi nasa 12k… its a cool fone… but just wanted to ask kung talagang kailangan laging ililipat pa yung msgs from sim memory to phone memory? wala bang option na autonatic sa phone memory na agad papasok yung msgs? ty

please help me..i cannot install any application in my s5233 using pc? how does it works? i cant click on the “install/uninstall” options in the application it says ” YOU MUST CONNECT A DEVICE THAT SUPPORTS THE PROGRAM USAGE “….

KINDLY HELP ME…

MARC

Di naman mahirap pag-aralan yung Samsung but im still trying to learn how to install more apps. Does anyone know if the skype for Iphone is compatible with star?

i just bought my brand new Samsuing Star yesterday at Wellcom sm fairview. i really like it coz its very user friendly and has long battery life..

hi april, got mine a couple of days ago. settings ng wifi would depend on the network you are trying to enter/join. sa akin kasi, meron akong wifi network sa bahay so what i had to do was: click menu/browser/settings/browser profiles/search for wifi/*at this point, masasagap na yung network mo*/click the network you want to enter/*lalabas yung details about it*/if it is a secured network, scroll down to enter the network key aka the password/SAVE…after nun, pwede ka na kumonek. I hope this helps. Ciao! God bless!
