Samsung Galaxy Beam

Hey guys,
Anyone have this device? Can a subforum be opened?
It's excellent - I just got it and there's a lot of work to do
I added info at the XDA Wiki...

Can you provide pictures?
I really don't believe this device is out.

it has been out for a loooong time, there is another device similar to the Beam was on July, the other one was on March
both are for Europe market
they don't seem to be very popular
they are from the 8000 family, although the spec are very close to the Galaxy S 9000 family

Few weeks back I came across a review of this phone on youtube. Even though it was announced early this year (and GSM arena says its already available), I didn't find any information indicating that this phone is actually available on the market. I was looking for it's price.

good idea
Just bought mine a week ago from StarHub (the official retailer for galaxy beam).
I second the subforum idea. How about starting a google group as well since the community is so small.
For those who wish to purchase the phone:
You need to place a reservation at StarHub Center before making the purchase. It takes about a week before your phone is ready for collection.
I was lucky enough to get it immediately because someone cancelled his reservation.

waiting for mine, deseperatly ....

i'll check with Admins and Sr Mods to see if they want to create a new forum for it

That's great! Thanks man.
nocomp: you may try bugging their hq at cuppage road. They might just have an extra handset lying around like mine. Haha

i ve bought it from a local shop in singapore, they were agree to send it to me to france.
still waiting for the delivery...... the singapore post tracking service, isn t much alive since 2 days......
i guess that ll be a change from my nexus, what i am pissed of, is that you can t use an app that use camera and projector in the same time
it seems that what has to be done, (part of find a way to upgrade it to froyo):
get gps working when projector is on
get projector working when camera is on
can you tell me if the galaxy beam has also the tv out like galaxy s?
best regards
herve

I have some bad news for you. Samsung has officially stopped software support for that device last month and said there's no plans for official froyo for it as there's just not enough beams out there to warrent the support as it was only sold in Singapore and very small numbers. They now have all development on tablet and galaxy s models. Google for more info. I read that last month someplace

hi
thxx a lot, that news has been goin on here and there fr a while, surely some ppl can adapt 2.2 to the beam model.
i finally received mine )))
bad news, impossible to install an application from android market :'(
never happend before with the nexus, i get the message "unable to download" either i am in wifi or 3g
any idea why?
herve

Hmm never had a problem with market. Have you tried replacing the stock market app with a generic one from ipmart? Perhaps it's locked down to Singapore or something.

Topic moved to General until and if a new proper forum comes into place for this device.

hi,
well i ve took sim card off n sdcard off, and then it was working over wifi.
put the simcard back again and market was working.
no idea wtf happend.

hi,
how can i know what software update is current?
my version is 2.1 update 1
I8520DXJ11
kernel 2.6.29-zeus1
can t find in the setting menu the update section
thx for your help
btw i ve found this, anybody tried it?
http://shomblingteam.blogspot.com/2010/08/samsung-i8520-galaxy-beam.html

My phone is running the same firmware version as yours. It's released on 1 Sept which is more recent than the July version on that blog.

hi,
thx for the news, so if there is an update it ll appear in the "about" section right?
do you know any trick/tweak for allow to run gps when using projector?
herve

Probably, but I doubt there will be any more updates since the beam is not getting froyo. Hopefully I'm wrong...
I'm not aware of any tricks but if you have the time and expertise try editing the source code? Haha I'm no expert either.

Got my nexus today, have some questions

It comes with 4.0.2 that is wrong for a sealed package from what I know, and the bootloader is open, what do you think guys? also the battery was in the device, it still had the GALAXY NEXUS screen protector, and back door protector.
I very like the device, but does the earpiece speaker suppose to have such bad quality? I mean it like a little buzz in it, not that the music speaker is any better :crying:..

I would say if the bootloader is unlocked & the battery was in, that's not a brand new unopened / unused device

The ear buds that come with the package are horrendous. Definitely get better quality ones. A no EQ G.Music with Skull Candy ear buds sounds fantastic.
Where did you get your Nexus from?

Flash a New Kernel ( franco ) , will speed up a lot

But it defiantly a new device, I always remember the smell of opening a new phone, and again the box was sealed with the Samsung sticker, maybe it was repackaged only, as it comes with EU charger, here in Israel most shops sell it with US/UK charger, possible? I mean maybe they buy a stock, then buy a stock of EU chargers, and repackage them with a new sticker? also why 4.0.2?..anyway it in another town, so I will not go there just to replace it, also I got a new extended battery, so I don't care, when a new NEX out, I will sold mine as used.

They don't ship with unlocked bootloaders. Dead giveaway of non-new device. Also the battery never ships in the phone already.
Some people have reported getting refurbished units with unlocked bootladers, but I haven't heard of anyone getting one like that on a brand new device.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

It for sure not refurbished, all accessories are sealed, only the battery was in the device, also in the package where the battery suppose to sit, the little tab was flush, so it was never been there, anyway as I said, it in another town, I got 12 moth warranty, and anyway if something go bad, than not with software, for me it will be easier to sell it on eBay, and not pay for fix

Regardless, it's not sealed new.

Atleast it saves you some trouble you have an unlocked bootloader lol...
Swyped From My Sensation.

Not new that is for sure. You'd never get a new device with unlocked bootloader. Did you pay full price?

Accessories can easily be resealed or even taken from other boxes. Also the battery would never be in a _new_ device. I mean as long as everything works I wouldn't make a big deal out of it but I hope you didn't pay full price for it.

Well now that bootloader is unlocked u can root and so on. Also my gsm version came with 4.0.2. And so did my boys after having it for 2 hours got the update to 4.0.4. Besides who cares you will flash a new rom anyways if u are on xda most are based on 4.0.4. And it is weird how u got it with battery in phone and unlocked already. Hey if it works great don't worry bout it

you can probably buy those stickers for the outside of the box to make it look "sealed"

Yay! for pre-unlocked bootloaders

That's really interesting because you never consented to the agreement form when you unlock your boot loader... I wonder what that'll do to warranty and such (especially if you were on Verizon or something...) lol especially if something from unlocking your boot loader messes up your phone (i.e. flashing a custom rom).

where do u bought it?

What's your guys thoughts?
OK so I am eligible for an upgrade and if you guys like your phone now and you wouldn't buy any other phone if you could. I will order this Tuesday or Wednesday. Just want any last thoughts before I order?

This is not brand new. It's used/refurbished device. Return it. Bootloader is never unlocked. Accessories are easy to replace. So accept it or return it.

Sounds like someone carefully re-packaged it (after using) and it was re-sold to you as a new unit.
Return that sucka.

Galaxy Nexus broken

Hi,
my friend dropped his Galaxy Nexus on the floor and broke the screen (glass and display). But the phone seems to be working, since it gives the vibration and a little sound when turned on and off. When connected to the PC the storage is displayed correctly (all the photos are there). The problem is when i stick the SIM and when i try to call it fails to receive the call, but afterward you can see the LED notification blinking the white color about every 7 secs.
Since i cannot return for warranty because it was dropped, now im looking to buy the display. Prices seem a bit high...
The question that I've got is this: Is it worth to Change the Display? Can I be sure that the phone will eventually work?
It concerns me the fact that maybe something else is damaged.
Any help or thought is appreciated.
Many thanks.
PS: My friend is a Noob when talking about phones and he didnt know whether it was on 4.0.4 or 4.2.1

It will work properly.
What is the price for screen ??

Thanks for your fast answer,
I've been searching over the internet and the lowest price i could find was about $120, was hoping a bit less since other phones like galaxy s3 was like $40. Can you find me any display?

Samsung Galaxy Nexus repair how to
Hi. Only to comment: My Galaxy Nexus bought on the Google Play store started freezing after 9 months... typical intermittent problem.
I had a hard time to find how to create a ticket request to have the Galaxy Nexus repaired.
This is the web page with information:
CAN"T POST LINKS!!! www[dot]samsung[dot]com[slash]us[slash]support[slash]service[slash]warranty[slash]GT-I9250M
I called the Samsung Android phones repair center (at midnight PDT) and got the ticket number, service repair approval. They sent me the regular mail label and I sent it. Now I'm waiting for the repaired phone.
Good luck.

Broken display. Help needed.

Hi. few days back my galaxy nexus fell on the concrete floor first display and the screen got broken. i guess the galaxy nexus screen is not well protected as this was the first time it fell and broke. So you better use a casing.
Anyway.. the problem is, i went to the shop to get it repaired but they don't have the display of Galaxy nexus. I live in Bangladesh (South East Asia) and apparently not enough Galaxy Nexus has made it here. So what do i do? I love my nexus way too much to buy a new phone and it has not been a year since i am using it.
What i was thinking is that, many of you might have a nexus which is not working, probably a bad mother-board, with perfect display. Some of you might have a spare nexus which you are not even using. So will it be possible for you to ship it here? I just need the display so that i can repair it .i could have bought it from ebay, but ebay is not yet available in our country. I know it is a lot to ask, but i am ready to pay every penny. If any of you want or can help me, please write here, i will send all my details.
Thanks a lot. I will be really grateful

[Q] New Nexus 7 expectations.

Hi guys, just few questions if possible.
I am with android for several years now and my latest android device was i337 SGS (ATT Branded) and we're having a lot of problems with bootloader not unlocked and stuff. Is there a such problems with this device or there is no locks of any kind, and in general I do understand this is pure google but can we expect CWM recovery and ROMs for this little guy ? I can't live without my CM on my android.
And in general people who have it anything you like and most importantly don't like so far ? I orfdered mine 32GB version should be here I guess on 30th a bit after.
Thanks all.
P.S.
Anyone know where to get a case and screen protector for it but not for $20 for a damn screen protector ? I looked up pictures it looks like you can't really use old screen protector for new device ..can you ?

Please remember that from now on (unless that changed and I didn't knew): nexus = no bootloader lock at all. The nexus line was always devices that google wanted to support development and therefore there are no locks. So far, there's already CWM and TWRP available (in one day ) Hmm as far as CM is concerned, it should come soon as they're merging to make cm10.2. As far as accessories are related, you may want to check the accessory section of the forum.
Hope this helps!

that's what's up !

I guess next thing to get for this baby is wireless charger. I work with phones all day and charging port is is always getting messed up in the phones and tablets so I guess it's good idea to have something that does not require to insert cable. I see any QI Certified product will do, anyone have advice on inexpensive but good quality one ?
