I cant seem to receive or send text messages with this phone, any tips or advice, Ive already changed the service center number numerous time and still the problem persists.

I wouldn't consider it to be a smartphone. You can display a calendar and maybe check email. But this really is just a phone. Not like an iPhone or blackberry.

Yes, it gets really hot; while it charges too. But it doesn't affect the phone.

I absolutely love this one. I got mine wet, and instead of looking for a different phone, I bought the same one over again. Amazing phone.

CBAS3891: I have the A747, but it's probably the same.
Telephone icon (phone book); Options; 12. Copy to SIM. Easy to do "All".
All entries that were in the phone will appear twice -- phone and sim.

**** REGARDING MY ABOVE POST ****

THE YAMAHA CONVERTER IS MIFF - NOT GIFF.

Re: Samsung SGH-a727 Review

adam k — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 18:56:34 -0000

REGARDING MP3'S AS RINGTONES....I HAVE THE ANSWER!!!!

Believe it or not, Yamaha music co. Makes a mp3 to GIFF converter....that is supposed to be for teaching purposes. I can't give you the website info...as I haven't accessed it in quite some time, but I can tell you to type Yamaha mpeg Giff converter samsung a 727, something along those lines...and download the appropriate one for your OS. The program is EXTREMELY easy to use...it is as simple as drag and click mp3 files (for the mac version) and whats more...IT'S FREE!!!!! ENJOY.

I love this phone! It lets you do anything and everything with the bluetooth. I can upload my own photos from my computer to my phone, including music. I would definitely recommend this phone to anyone.

to lauren:

Left soft key >> the number 8 >> Left soft key >> Down arrow, 13 times >> the number 2 >> Center button >> Left soft key >> left soft key

You're done! Hope that worked!

Also, there are cell phone carriers that will switch all your info for you, you just have to call around and see if they'll do it.

To Anonymous:

The underscore key is in the symbols menu, in the first grid box, #8.

If you hold down the # key for about 3 seconds or so in almost any text field, the Symbols menu will pop up.

Hey. Thought I'd help a few of you.
*Text message tones can be changed.
*If you cut a song to about 5-10 seconds or so and change them to a certain format (.mmf or .smaf -- using www.media-convert.com) you can use any sort of tone you want.
*Same with ring tones. Sometimes the mp3's don't work, so I have to cut them and make them .mmf files.
*I have been able to send all kinds of pictures, movies, and sounds with my phone using the BlueTooth and multimedia messaging features on the A727.
*To keep the back from falling off, I use a small roll of tape. I just roll it around my finger and put it on the battery. Then, if you put the back to just below where it needs to slide to go on, you can slide it shut and it will stay there. Not a permanent fix, but it sure holds longer than by itself. Also, you don't even notice that it's there.

I've also been wondering if anyone else is having the same problem I have.
Every so often, the screen will come up saying that my SIM card fell out, and I can't do anything with my phone. So far, I've just been taking out the battery, then taking out the SIM card, then replacing everything and turning it on. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If you have any suggestions, please email me @ lindsey.koelsch (at) gmail.com.

The battery cover on my wife's Samsung A727 falls off almost every other day. I've ordered a replacement cover, but I'm not sure that it's going to solve the problem.

Has anyone come up with a solution? I'm thinking about maybe getting a cover for it, but would prefer something more simple.

I've recently been experiencing the problem where my phone gets super hot and drains the battery quickly. I read through the comments and decided to try Bogdans idea and it seems to be working, as soon as i switched it to off I could feel my phone starting to cool down.

Thanks for the review, I just ordered this phone a few days ago but after hearing about how many people have lost their back covers I'll probably going to be picking up a few extra just in case. Anyone else interested in buying a replacement can check buy them here
