Need some help with Samsung D500!

Hi,

I actually have a few questions:

1. Does anyone know how to activate the Quiet Mode for the phone...there's a setting for it under Sound Settings that let's you set it to mute or vibrate, but I don't know how to use it.

2. Does anyone know how to set up the e-mail for Cingular service in the US?

3. What is the standby time supposed to be for the battery? I only get a little over a day and that's without using the phone. It's so crappy! Is anyone else having this problem? Am I charging my battery wrong, or am I supposed to charge it longer? I charge the battery for about 90 minutes - that's when the phone says that the battery is fully charged.

If anyone could answer any of these questions, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

1. press and hold down the # key
2. not sure
3. is your phone dying, or just showing low battery life? I don't trust the battery indicator on any phone to be honest...charge it over night and see what happens

Thanks for the reply sammyrocks, I appreciate it. About the battery, the first time I used the phone, it lasted about three days, and then the battery died. After that, I recharged the battery and ever since then, it's been showing low battery life within a day. Sometimes the battery gets hot while charging too, is that normal? Anyway, I'll try charging the phone overnight and see what happens. Does anybody know where I can get an extra battery besides from eBay?

How hot does the battery get? I'm certainly no hardware expert, but that would worry me a bit leaving it charging over night. I wonder if the battery is flawed?

Just what Sammy sais, warm yes, but hot!? Battery life is as expected with all the gizmo's. A regular GSM phone can last a week without use, but the new toys are an unusual drain.
As for Cingular settings check Howard Forums, I'm on T-mobile.

to set the gprs..
just find someone with that service..
and just see how the gprs is configured on their phone
and do the same for your phone..
i mean.. it should work just fine..

I guess I'm not the only one suffering about this battery life with my D500. Yep, this is not even close to 3 hours talk time. If anyone could help and let me know how to deal with this I would appreciate it.

You can play as many as the memory holds. When you bluetooth them, they don't go to the MP3 player right away. You need to go to Menu/funbox/music. When you see the songs you downloaded, choose options/add play list, then the songs will be in the MP3 player. You have 100 megs, and a full length song is 1/2 to 1 full megs.
