Samsung Genio Slide/Corby Pro Features Review #11

[@TechSteve21]

@sivossi : Hello :) Really glad to hear that the videos have been helpful, you are very welcome. Try the following after inserting your Micro SD Card > Camera > Press the bottom left icon (Settings: looks like a gear or cog) > At the top press the second tab (again, it looks like a gear or cog wheel) > Press the 'down' arrow on the right hand side > Next to "Storage" select Memory Card > and done! You will have to repeat this everytime you take out and put back the card too. Hope this helps :)

@squidoification : Yes, there is a total of 3 beep sounds to choose from or you can silence all beeps if you wish. All beeps are automatically turned off when you put the phone into Silent or Offline mode also :)

[@TechSteve21]

@mojachae : The quickest way is to go to the keypad (either from the homescreen or the Main Menu) and hold down the # button. You can also hold down the spacebar on the qwerty keyboard to do this as long as you are not writing a text/memo/internet/game etc... You can also use the Profiles widget on a homescreen - this allows you to change to any profile you want on the homescreen. And finally, if you want to quickly silence a call ringtone - turn the phone over to mute it. Hope this helps :)

Great videos! I'm buying this phone. Thanks!

[@TechSteve21]

@Striker26100 : To do that you would have to find (or more likely) make a wallpaper that is the size of 3 homescreens, to put it in pixels you would need to create a 320 x 720 image. Then you would need to split the image into 3 equal partitions (320x240 each) and then set them as your home screen backgrounds. I think I might have a go at this myself now and I'll do a quick video tutorial in my next phone vid :)

[@TechSteve21]

@MrOmp593 : No, this phone does not support themes except the pre-installed ones; the video you mentioned is showing a different phone, the Samsung Corby - This is the Corby Pro :)

[@TechSteve21]

@lauris7701 : Samsung does have an App Store but it is only for their range of tablets and smartphones, so there's nothing there for this particular phone... The next best thing is to find some compatible java applications but that's easier said than done

[@pjcp97]

wow samsung corby pro has many features...

[@pinkpeachz]

awesome, thanks!

[@TechSteve21]

@lolilala100 : I had a similar problem when I first started using internet on my phone too... When I asked Samsung myself about it before they said try this, but if nothing changes it may be a good idea to backup and then hard reset your phone... But first go to; Menu > Settings > Application Settings > Internet > Internet Profiles > Delete (at the bottom of the screen) > select your WiFi connection. Then try WiFi again, just entering your passcode when needed. Hope this helps :)

[@squidoification]

can you turn off the beep when you click

[@TechSteve21]

@GingerNinga10 : After a year of searching for myself I can confirm there are no new themes available for this phone

[@TechSteve21]

@MrOmp593 : You can get videos from anywhere you can; youtube, metacafe, google etc... just download them and use a free video converter to convert them into the 3gp format. You can find java files by going to mobile game websites like Gameloft or mobile24 :)

[@lauris7701]

IS there an app store?

[@TechSteve21]

@lolilala100 : You are not alone, my phone does this too, battery life does improve over time but I've never managed over a day with constant internet use... WiFi, Java apps and Bluetooth are the big power drainers - the only problem with Palringo is that it uses Java and WiFi at the same time. To get around this, if I'm near a mains socket I often plug in the phone so it charges whilst I use it, a bit like a laptop really... :)

[@lolilala100]

hi TechSteve21 u were very helpfull to me through all your videos really thx so much .. but i have a little problem here. i can't access my router or anyelse through corbypro :( it keeps telling me authentication failed although i put the right pass keys also if i access throw open wi fi it says the same :(( what can i do plzzz

[@lolilala100]

@TechSteve21 but take care that decrease the quality of the battery within time ..but anyway really u r soooooo helpful thanks so much really :)

[@ajanes92]

sorry i actually thought there was no 'l' in tilt gallery for a second!

[@TechSteve21]

@mojachae : As the many videos prove, I would really recommend this phone - but you do have to keep in mind that this is Not a smartphone, it is more for people who like normal mobile/cell phones but would like to have the added features of e-mail, wifi etc... that other phones of a similar price don't have. You also have the freedom of a touchscreen and keyboard which is a bonus. So best to look around and see what's best for you personally but this phone is highly recommended by myself :D

[@TechSteve21]

@Striker26100 : Sorry I'm taking so long with the next video with this wallpaper tutorial but rest assured I am working on it whenever University work isn't getting in the way - hoping to get the whole video done by the weekend - thanks for waiting :)

[@TechSteve21]

@bluecoffeeh : Haha, thank you for watching anyway - it is a shame this phone is slowly being phased out but I'll still keep the videos here as I probably won't change my phone for years! :D

[@TechSteve21]

@MrOmp593 : Sorry, I forgot to mention that in mobiles24 (or anywhere else) any game that says 320x240 next to it will work on this phone, but not all of them will be touchscreen enabled :)

[@lolilala100]

@TechSteve21 i downloaded Parlingo thx so much for recommending it ,, but is the battery life so short when using wifi or is it my set only??? i lose battery in less than a day when wifi is on :((

[@TechSteve21]

@MrOmp593 : A good website is keeptube(dot)com (and there are many others) - all you have to do is copy and paste the youtube website address of the video which you want to download, paste it into the keeptube website, press enter and you will then be presented with links to download your video. Note however, you will still need to conver the video to a resolution of 320x240 before it will work on this phone. To do this try onlinevideoconverter(dot)com . Hope this helps :)

[@kyogre129]

i really want that phone :( though i have no money to buy it :((

[@TechSteve21]

@lolilala100 : Well done for getting your internet to work! Don't worry, I will laugh with you, not at you :D I have tried to use eBuddy before with no luck either... I managed to modify the java file to make the screen rotate but then the keyboard didn't work... After more research, their applications simply don't recognise when a qwerty keyboard is used hence leading to your problem. The only solution I can recommend is to try another IM app like Palringo or use eBuddy in the web browser :)

[@TechSteve21]

@MrOmp593 : Try mobile9 or mobiles24 - if all else fails, Google (or another search engine of your choice) is your friend :)

[@lolilala100]

@TechSteve21 thx sooo much really for replying, dun laugh at me but i found out that the problem was that i entered my pass wrong :D :D now i have another problem :(( if u fimiliar with nimbuzz and ebuddy (chating applications) i downloaded them on my set but seems like can't get the screen to flip to write on my keypad while chating using them :( is there any selution?? (( i hate to use touchscreen in chatting :( thx again.. and by the way am from Egypt and a huge fan of urs :)

[@TechSteve21]

@Striker26100 : Thank you glad you found the videos useful - I explain how to get the extra Menu pages in my 9th phone video: /watch?v=366ouxn_E30 :)
