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.
Hi all.
I would like to know how to get refund from Windows Phone Marketplace?
I've found some old instructions, but they are not working anymore and I can't find it anywhere on their site.
Please help...
I don't think it's possible. Before buying app, you should saw the warning: something like "That purchase is non-refundable and can not ... blah-blah-blah". By pressing "Buy" button you've agreed with these terms & conditions.

See the Terms of use:
6.9. Refund Policies.
All sales are final and nonrefundable unless otherwise provided by law or by a particular Service offer.
Provided you have extenuating circumstances, a refund is very possible. You'll need to chat with a representative:
https://support.live.com/default.aspx?productkey=oepwp7cf&brand=oepwp7&mkt=en-ww&
For example... I downloaded Bullet Asylum about an hour before it became available in the Marketplace on my phone. I found it on the Marketplace via my web browser and made the purchase, cuz I was so excited to play the game. A week later, I was fiddling around with my phone and looked up BA in the Marketplace. I had the option to buy it, but it wanted to charge my account again. From the game that was already on my phone, it wasn't showing as updatable AND I wasn't able to send a reinstall link from the website. This was forcing me to purchase the game a 2nd time if I wanted to reinstall it... all due to a small glitch.
So, I got on with a rep via chat, explained everything and had the email purchase confirmations to prove it. Rep had to call me to verify my account/identity. Great conversation, understood the problem, and provided a refund.
So... yes... if the circumstances are right, and a refund is warranted, then it can be obtained. Chat support has been very helpful both times I've used them.
Just curious: how much you evaluate your time? Hmm, spending so much time for $0.99 or even $2.99 is too expensive for me, for example

sirajgoku is being facetious.
Like I said... a refund is possible, but pretty much only if MSFT made an error.
Yes a refund is possible! I was refunded already because I was charged twice by the same app I contacted Zune support and they emailed me in my language Portuguese and saw the problem and refunded me! I was refunded too once because I bought one app and now it's not anymore on marketplace its name is perfectscan i reseted my phone and wanted to install the app and couldn't because the app wasn't available anymore.

So the refunds are only available for errors, not for those who find out that the app doesn't work correctly and just want money back.

Too bad....it doesn't work like that....
They won't refund you for such a reason...
I purchased a game on my phone, got double billed (billed twice for the same game).
I just fired up a "Zune marketplace Chat support session". Explained what happened, refunded immediately!

No unfortunately not. Because, most apps and games come with trial mode. So you could try before you buy. However, for apps that don't offer trials modes, if the reviews and screenshots don't justify value of it, then I don't buy it.

Hey guys, I just noticed in THIS thread that Best Buy has an offer going on where if you buy an AT&T or Sprint LGOG you should get a free headset with it.
From what it sounds like, it is a good headset.
I don't know when they started this or how long it will last, but it was confirmed still going on as of yesterday (1/5/2013).
If you bought an OG from Best Buy and didn't get a headset, you should be able to go in with your receipt and ask for the headset (others in the thread have been able to).
I have not been able to get mine yet, but my fingers are crossed.
Got mine today.
It didn't seem like well known information so I wanted to post it here, sorry if this is frowned upon.
HERE is the link to the offer from Best Buy.
Edit..............
You have to be within the 30 days that you purchased your phone.
Also, it is an online promotion, but they can match it in the store.
Just show them the link, the will pull it up.
Have them Google "best buy free headset with optimus g".
Do not know when they started this but I just hit my 30 days with this phone so I doubt I can take advantage of this deal

Another user said they called BB and they said the purchase does have to be within the last 30 days.
Just went to BB and got my free headset (was within the 30-day window). Had to wait over 45min because they couldn't bring this deal up on their own internal website and showing them the site on my phone wasn't good enough. I used their own computer to go to XDA, hit the link provided by bleached45, and showed them the deal was legit.
Well worth the wait. Thanks for posting this deal bleached45! :good:
I got the free headset with my OG when I picked it up for $99 at BB. They miss labeled the price, as it was supposed to be $199 with free headset, but since I caught it they gave me the deal anyways.
The headset I got was a wrap around neck style with ear buds. It was a neat concept, but the audio quality was only good for phone calls. It was horrible for music, which I was hoping to use it for since it was more like Bluetooth ear buds than a normal headset.

Very cool, glad it worked.
Quick question, I got my OG as a gift and have the receipt but it has a family member's name and card number on it, did you need to show them ID or have your card (assuming you got it on a card).
Nope... Just needed my original receipt. They scanned it and it had all the info they needed. Didn't need to show a license or credit card.
Then again, after 45min they may have passed on all that info just to get me out of the store... Lol

Haha, well thanks for letting me know.
If I wasn't out of thanks for the day I would hit it.
i constantly read xda forum for whatever device i have but rarely post. But I had to post a reply to this. I purchased a LGOG about a week ago from BB and no one mentioned headset. i ran out during my lunch break to BB and picked it up. No questions asked...in/out in about 10min. Thanks XDA
i bought my phone on january 2nd and just called them about this, they thought i was crazy and had no recollection of it even when i told them how to find the link offer and they were looking at it they said i was SOL

^^This^^
I used BB's own company computer to click the link provided by bleached45 in the first post to show them the deal was legit. So definitely go to the store.
Also, make sure you go back to the store where you purchased the LGOG. I figured all BBs are the same, but apparently not when it comes to purchasing phones. I went to one store and they told me too bad, I have to go to the store where I purchased the phone.
Not a good deal when you consider their phone price
Wow! $699 unactivated? That's pretty darn expensive, and makes the free $69 headset not worth it.
I got my OG for $579 direct from Ting, and I didn't think there was anything special about that price.
Swooby

I ordered my phone online and unfortunately there is no best buy and the closest one is over an hour away, dont feel like spending 3 hours driving to have the chance of them not giving it to me.
I got mine for the $99 promotion the day after christmas at a best buy about 30 minutes away. I have the receipt. Any chance they can mail it to me? If not I will get it next time im in that part of the valley.
Ah! Y'all are $99 carrier contract buyers. That make more sense.
I bought my OG without a contract through ting.com and pay $25/mo, saving me $65/mo...the price of that free BT headset!
Peace

I don't know, as far as I know, nobody has tried to get them to mail it.
I think your best bet is to go in, most people have reported that when they call about it bb said they couldn't match it, but in store they were able to get it.

okay, I got my parents to say I can go tomorrow or friday so is the music quality any good, or should I stick with my $100 wired headphones, and just sell it for other stuff I want to get?
Just stopped into my local BB they are out but there are some on the truck. Holding one for me when they put out the stock. Manager knew about the offer. Was way cool about it. Love best buy!

Bought my LGOG on 12/22, went in today and asked about the headset, the BB guy couldn't find the ad online, so I brought it up on my phone from the link here in the forums. He said OK no problem. Got me some new earbuds! They sound alright, not great. Actually they seem a little too small in my ears even with the bigger rubber cones. But I'm not going to b***** when they were free! :good:
My son managed to wipe everything on my T700 and it won't boot. I need the stock firmware but every site that has the firmware available is going to take 10 hours to download from. Can someone please help me get the stock firmware without having to wait 10+ hours!?
I'll need the US version.

Hello. Google Samsung updates and search for the firmware you need. Cellular south is U.S.A on the website. Then download this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57842725
And fill out the info from the website. Then you should have it downloaded under an hour

That worked and my tablet is back. The little bugger is determined to get his hands on any electronics. He knows how to unlock any tablet that we put in front of him AND HE IS ONLY 15 MONTHS OLD!

Precocious little bugger! Think about getting him a "kid's tab". Much more rugged and might help keep his mitts off yours?
Yea, I've been thinking of getting him one for awhile. Just haven't had enough disposable income yet. Trying to move and whatnot. It also may not work. He's already got his own PS3 controller (it doesn't work) and yet he still insists on playing with mine, but only when I'm using it. He's definitely techy though, like myself.

The next generation(s) will be exposed to things we can't imagine. An idea. You might keep an eye on Swappa. All sorts of devices from users at some relatively good prices. Have bought some items there before. No issues.

Well thank you, but that's the free version of the app.
Since the one I had was the full version i don't want to pay money for it. If it is possible to have the app extracted from stock would be far better.

Request for warez reported. Buy the legitimate paid version.
...Erm, I think You misunderstood something along the way. I bought the radio, which had a LEGITIMATE full version inside of it. I paid also for that as well. I updated and torque disappeared, it is not my fault. Why would I have to pay again for something that I already had paid?! I think it's in my right to recover what i lost. No warez request at all I would say...
Before going reporting you could have made me notice it in a different manner.
Just saying.

The version you had was a PIRATED cracked APK full version, from the Chinese headunit reseller. Had you had a legitimate version, it would be via playstore and you would not be requesting a copy here.
Do the right thing, buy it, it's cheap as chips. If you have a argument, suggest you go back to Chinese reseller and demand a refund.
Thread closed due to the nature of the request.
