( Taken from GSM ARENA )

I HAVE A WINDOWS VISTA..AND MY SAMSUNG CD CANNOT WORK IN IT BECAUSE IT IS FOR WINDOWS XP ONLY...HWOWHWOWHOWHOW~!!?!?

If users are indeed facing this kind of problem...they can refer to this guide provided by our dear StratOS which he took it from Howard forums

what you need to do is this:

1) insert the cd into your drive

2) browse the cd and find the installer exe file for samsung pc studio 3

3) once you have located the file right click it and select 'properties'

4) selct the 'compatibility' tab at the top of the dialogue box

5) then tix the 'run this program in compatibility mode for' and ensure 'windows xp service pack 2' is the chosen systems

6) click ok and the double click the exe file, it will install correctly and function as normal


some of the codes used for E900 work with U700 here below you can find a small list...

*#1111# Software Version
*#2222# Hardware Version
*#1234# Firmware Version
*#0228# Battery profile
*#0842# Vib test
*#0289# Buz test
*#0782# RTC (RealTimeClock) (# = Refresh)

Users, do this at your own risk lol... Anyway, Information contributed by kingofvampire2002 from mobileplanet, CHeers !

OKAYH NOW GUYS ! SECRET TECHNIQUE TO INCREASE YOUR PHONE'S VOLUME SYSTEM! AS IN PLAYING SUPER LOUD MP3 VOLUMES !

Follow the steps below to increase your U700 speaker. I will not be liable for any damages to your phone and changing the default settings may void your warranty.

My U700 have the latest software version, U700DZHB1 (Feb. 2008), for other versions I have no idea whether it works. Update it at the nearest samsung service centre.

1) Type *#0002*28346#
2) It will bring up a menu:
[1] Load Params
[2] Dump Params
[3] Call Config

3) Press Back, and it will bring up another longer menu
4) Key in 3 to bring up SPK Config Menu
5) Then key in 4 to bring up AV-QTune(MP3) menu
6) Key in 1 to bring up SPK MP3 Vol. menu
7) Key in 6 to change the max. volume
8) Input 40 and press OK, it will change to 4.0db default max. volume is -3db. I wouldn't recommend higher than 6.0db because the sound will distort, anything lower will be fine.
9) Once done, press cancel to close the service menu and try to play a mp3 with max. volume. This volume apply for your MP3 Ringtones and Message tones.

Note: If you restart your phone, your settings will be changed to default.

Samsung never hav AP set.

quite an attractive price. but no themes ? will look dull.

Haha.... the surface is too attractive to make it look dull !

anyway, the lack of themes really is a nuisance too...lol! But I just love how it looks like dats all

some pictures failed to post earlier The overall Look!


as u can see by now..this phone has huge Buttons... and the buttons is very very easy to type indeed~! very practical + spacious

Actually there are AP sets for samsungs phones.. you can find them in garage sale but are very rare. Anyway, never seen a U700 AP set before.

This phone looks very nice with its shiny body and the camera quality is also good.

Jaroque, how much you bought it for?

RM1450 + the 1GB card..cheapest in my area

Alright! the construction part done..now i'll come to the part where people will have doubts on the phone.... the Wheel Scroller Part!

I'll show how sensitive the wheel is based from my pictures below, notice my thumb position and the menu icon position




to





Alright...now in order for an Icon to move from one to another, ur thumb must at least move that much of a distance..not that bad huh? I would rate it as a quite good sensitivity
