Samsung SCH-A950

went down to verizon store to see the phone....The outside display goes off in 10 seconds.....and goes dark....maybe I'm used to my 4500....but I like the time being displayed at all times...plus,whether or not I've received any new messages......I tried looking for a way to keep the outside display on,couldn't figure it out...

also,having the phone closed when on speaker is nice..but again,the display goes off(so you can't tell elapsed time.....also,how can you disconnect the call?...I had to open the phone and hit end..tell me if I'm wrong here....thanks

Guys, I took a video in the Circuit City store with this thing and it would have gone to what looks like 15-20 minutes.

It apparently has huge internal memory.

I think the phonescoop specs are off.

This phone feels really nice in the hand !

Can anyone give a review on the reception of the A950 compared to other phones that you have used? I understand that reception varies from area to area, but I would just like an honest opinion. Thanks.

I have a chance to either go with an LG 9800 or the Samsung 950. I'm kinda torn between the two. I'm your average cell phone user and the price difference does not really matter to me. The only thing that's really drawing me back from the 9800 is the size and the only thing holding me back from the 950 is the fact that the exterior screen turns off. I was at a circuit city playing with the both of them and find them very similar and like the idea of the qwerty keyboard on the 9800, although I don't text as much. Any suggestions as to what is the way to go?

Does the A950 have digit dialing like the E815? I like this feature with the e815.

I think I read somewhere, but now can't find, that someone was having trouble permanently changing the message entry to T9 on this phone. If you go to "Messaging," then press the left soft key that says "settings," scroll down to "Entry Mode," and in entry mode select "Word." Hope this helps! 🙂

can anyone tell me if you can create a playlist on the mp3 player. I know you can't with the 8100.

Has anyone experienced problems with the camera not starting at first press of the side camera button?

I just got mine today and while playing with it, I've noticed that the camera doesn't always start the first time I press the button. Anyone else having this issue?

Quick question for any of you, i went and played w/ the 950 y'day and i couldnt figure out if there was a vibrate then ring or vibrate and ring function? I only saw the vibrate function, which is really not strong enough so you need the ring to go along w/ it or you will miss calls. Any info???

Is anyone else able to download wallpapers for this phone? When I go into "Get It Now" and "Get New Pix" it directs me to "Get New App," and then says "No items were found."

Also, if I try to go to "Pix Place," it connects to Mobile Web, but only to the generic main page-- not to any wallpaper site..

Do you need to transfer them from your PC? Because the only wallpaper I've been able to use is photos I take with the phone, or the "Preloaded" wallpapers, which of course, suck.

My LG 4400 gave me acess to "My Seenz" which allowed me to pull any photo's off the web and upload them as wallpaper. I'm really missing that option right now..

I see the headsets available through Verizon that are posted on verizonwireless.com, but does anyone, employee or otherwise, know ALL the BT headsets available directly from Verizon? I thought there were more than that and I thought I had seen a Plantronics behind the ear one w/ eargel and extended mic awhile back. Could you please list ALL BT headsets I could get directly from Verizon? I've called CS, but they keep telling me about the handsets they have that have BT or just plain not getting what I am asking. I didn't think it was such a difficult question. Anyway, if anyone could tell me I would love you for it!
Thanks in advance,
Mary

I've got a Audiovox 9900 which I love but am adding another line and was looking at a Motorola A815 or Samsung SCH-a950.
Which is the way to go?

I know this is unrelated to the A950, but the people on this forum seem to know a lot about new technology.

What is the best laptop computer available these days?

i mean kinna like the 8100?

Hey guys~
I got the samsung sch-a950 yesterday... and you know how it says online that there's 64 chords?? mine only has 5 ☹️ does anyone who bought it know why?? thanks in advance!! 🙂

Hey Rich do you have any information about the Sprint variant, the A920? It seems that this phone is due out sometime before the end of the year. Any information is appreciated. TIA

Do they copy each other in terms of color?

I mean LG launches their 5000 in that garish metallic Red and now Samsung follows (albeit in a slightly darker tone).

Why do Korean companies always follow each other?

Hi
I'm a journalism student writing an article on the new a950. I am looking to interview anyone who has recently purchased the new phone or who is very familiar with it. I would prefer to talk over the phone, but I can do it via email also. It should only take a couple minutes. I appreciate any help you can offer.

I compared these two phones in the store today and was surprised how similar they are. When it comes to the weight, the 950 is listed at 4.55 oz and the VX-8100 at 4.16 oz. But when I held them in my hand, the Samsung didn't seem any heavier than the LG. I heard that phone weight is not always measured in a consistent way. Any thoughts?
