Hi,

I am from Hosur (Bangalore), I bought this phone in Jan. Some of my experiences.

1. Low memory. - Rooted with z4root, created second partition on my 32GB sd card, moved apps (linked technically) from phone to SD card using link2SD. Now I have 2 GB of memory to install apps.


Thanks,
VRC.

hi Hosur, i rooted my G551 with Universal Androot (the best app for rooting IMO), created partition with Root All to SD, but i doesn't satisfied me since Root All to SD just moved some small part from an app.
And now, i cannot use my galaxy on USB mode. pretty annoying...

I've download link2SD though, still trying to find how to use it properly. I dont want to use root explorer since i think i have to be an advance user to try that.

Hi guys,

I get annoying phone calls from a particular number and I intend to block all calls and messages from that number. Also,I don't want any sort of notifications regarding calls from that number. Are there any features within the phone which I can use? I've tried call blockers from the Android market,but I still get missed call notifications. Any free app which blocks call without calls featuring in the call log.

Please help.

Thanks,
DG

try download Call Filter from market.

Hi guys,
I have Samsung Galaxy i5510. I have heard many people saying that this phone is not good like no good internet no good games. But trust me there are a hell lot of people trying to fix games for this phone. Also if all of you guys try to send a message to the developers then maybe they will think that there are many people who want that respective game. Anyway I can tell you all a way to download Nova and Gangstar West Coast Hustle for this phone.
Nova: nova 240x320 .rar
Gangstar West Coast Hustle: gangstar 240x320.rar
They are not full screen but they can be played. Once I am able to get full screen I will surely help you.
You can download swype at beta.swype on your phone.

Guys even I need a help from you people, hope you will help for me helping you.
I have EA Fifa 10 on my phone. It works perfectly but the only problem is its controls and onscreen keys. If I tap the keys then they will not respond. I have to slide on them. Even while playing and while selecting the kick off etc, options. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
This is himanshu from delhi, india
I bought galaxy 551 in Feb'11.
I want to know how to update system software (Android version) in this phone.2.3.3 is available now.
Thanks

 

[himanshu83in]

I have bought my Galaxy 551 5 days ago and till now I have found mainly one problem. The impossibly short battery life. It doesn't even last for a day of moderate use. And once I saw it stopped working during standby and there were two displays in the same display. One reset corrected that problem. Angry Birds is not always smooth in this phone. Thats all I can say till now.

Turn off internet while playing this game...
this is because of ads displyed while playing

Nope Samsung has ditched Galaxy 551 off the upgrade list AFAIK.
So no upgrade to 2.3.3 for Galaxy 551 .

Which Launcher/What app .TwLauncher has faulty Auto rotate.It's annoying .
Open slid keyboard to check whether it rotates.If it does that means it can rotate but the launcher is not accepting the orientation sensor.

P.S. :-It's better to make a seperate thread so it is easier for others with same problems to view.

created a new thread ....

btw... should i go in for a screen guard.. if yes do you recommend some specific company ....
