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.

Any reviews on Socblue?

Has anyone tried using Socblue in the note?

Socblue user
Hi, how are all of you out there?
Yeh, i am a socblue user. It is working fine well almost fine, it does not work via BT on my car sadly. There is an application to download an then you pair the device after loading the battery and inserting the 2 sims.
Really, it is a peace of cake when you read the instructions well. I did not the first time and could not pair the device. Standby time is a couple
of days now. (Bought it about 4 days ago) I think i am on 50 %. Stupid they made an apple plug only. i am using it one android an iphone.

that's wonderful news. so the android application works fine on our note. how about the battery of your note? since it must be connected all the time to socblue via bluetooth, how long does your galaxy note typically last in a day, with bluetooth on and always connected to socblue?

Where did you find the app ?
Can't fnd it in the market place.

the socblue app is not on marketplace. try searching google for the manual of socblue and you will see in the manual where it is supposed to be downloaded.
i have not yet purchased socblue, as i am still waiting for a review as to typical battery life of both the note and socblue, where socblue is connected to the phone continuously.

That sounds fishy, it's no problem for us to install whatever but this is retail product (and not a cheap one). Marketplace is the ueberstandard for installing and upgrading apps.

well not really. i believe marketplace imposes a charge (US$25 i think) for uploading an application, even if its free.
anyway, it's not really for me to say because i have not even purchased one yet.

:good:

i just downloaded the android app for socblue android here.
http://apt.fise.com.cn/android
i'm also planning to purchase one for myself to be used for my Note 10.1

Hi,
So sorry for my late response.
I now use the N7100. I sold my Note 1.
Sadly it won't function on my Note 2. I have been hours away trying to connect. I have mailed the sellers but no result.
Sad sad. So i took another step and bought a h7100. A chinese copy of the note 2 with dual sim. Briljant!!
Good luck, gues, with your socblue!!

do you think because N7100 is already running JB?
have to hold off my purchase then. is gmate+ better?
*update
just got myself a gmate+ instead of the socblue. paired it perfectly with the Note 10.1
unless you really need 2 extra sims, i would recommend gmate+.
btw, im not connected with the gmate company, just one happy customer.
=)

Hello yesterday I bought this one amazon.com/Quad-Standby-Adapter-Android-Phones/dp/B009EN28MM
I have a htc rezound with the latest OTA.I download socblue and I can pair my phone with i-partner through bluetooth and I can see the second sim from i-partner.But when I try to make a call or send sms then the bluetooth close and nothing happened...Anybody have any idea??Thank you all

Back camera is grainy and not clear.

My son gave me a Note 4 910a that was bought on craigslist. I am having problem with the clarity of the camera. It is grainy at best and not clear like the front camera. What can I do or is this hardware?

There was a known hardware issue with the camera in some of the batches of this phone. I bought mine from an at&t store in March of 2015 and realized that my camera was taking pictures that were very grainy. Luckily I noticed this within the first 2 weeks because they were able to give me a brand new phone and not a refurbished one. No problems on my new one.
I've heard it's possible to buy a new camera module and install it and that it's not that difficult.

Thanks. I was hoping that wasn't my answer but in the back of my mind I was thinking that was my ultimate result.

Some people who had problem disable s-health and this improve camera some how. I had problem with my old note 4 and I had to replace camera module. Cost $15 on ebay and 20 min of stress with help of YouTube video. Good luck.

last time I've bought around 6 months ago, it was working then. Currently I have S10+ without root so I'm not sure if it's still working but I suppose it is.

yes, currently working with a rooted S8(G950FD) everything works from Samsung pay (With some workarounds) to downloading and/or purchasing watchfaces from galaxy store.

Oh sorry guys was at work when I saw the reply and forgot to reply once I was home. I've since reset my watch so will have to set it up again as it's a workaround mainly dealing with Samsung pay on the watch by downgrading aswell as moving busy box to external SD card from xbin folder. I also hid Samsung services from magisk and hid magisk manager itself running v19.2 but think it worked without having to do that step for me. I can't use it as spay doesn't support my bank or credit cards yet but I'll try and get it working again and post back in the next 1-3 days.
