            The main defect of the galaxy Ace is its internal memory , you cannot download more applications on the feeble phone memory. Your phone starts getting stuck when you reach the phone memory limit. And also you cannot move those applications to SD card.
            Why you need an android phone where you cannot install applications????
            Big question!!!!!!!!!!!!

                  I also have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. I've been using it for a month and everything is okay so far. But then 2 days ago, I lost the signal of my phone. I'm using a globe sim. I tried using other phones but it has a complete signal. How come when I put it back in my samsung phone it says: "NO SERVICE". So what I did was I went to a Samsung Service Center and they also tried inserting a globe sim and saw that it was working. Then I bought a new sim and tried. But still No service. I don't know what to do with this phone. I did not drop it or anything but now I can't use it. Please help.

But the technician in service center claimed to be a software problem and only solution is reinstalling software.

                                In the mean time i got a upgrade from PDA:KA7/PHONE:KA7/CSC:KA7 TO PDA:KC1/PHONE:KC1/CSC:KC1.

                                Even after this update i face all issues. In particular mobile is often without tower,. The network problem has headed. Per day i got to switch off my mobile at-least thrice for this issue.

                                This Saturday i will be reinstalling or flashing my mobile in the service center, And update you people with the status whether this mobile is worth.

                                      Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 is good featured mobile for the money we pay. Absolutely we expect the phone to function with the expected features. No idea why would such reputated company release this with 6 major unresolved bugs.

                                      It would remain the best gadget of the year 2011 for mobile worth around 16k If u people could resolve these issues. I am totally frustrated, because mobile is to keep in touch and i found my mobile without tower until i noticed.

                                      Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 was bought 2 months ago. Some high priority functionality crashes are associated with this.

                                      1. while ur listening to FM, if u get call for multiple times. at one stage your FM will get disabled. Even on opening FM radio application, the command is switch on the radio. where as there is no such option – Only solution is to shut down your mobile and switch on again

                                      2. FM is unresponsive when you plug in the earphone, the earphone is detected and you can listen songs in gallery but you cannot listen FM – This is an intermittent issue

                                      3.WiFi Error – While you use your mobile if u completely lose your wifi tower and get it back the mobile gets an wifi error. ther condition is multiple times if ur wifi tower varies(weak signal). Even onswitching off and switching on the Wifi, the error message is "WiFi error" – Only solution is Switch off ur Mobile and switch on Again.

                                      4. Network problem – If ur mobile network is weak, Your network becomes unavailable, But it has to get back the network once it reaches the strong network, Unfortunately your mobile will remain in no tower without your knowledge till u find it. Even in finding the available network and selecting it, the command is Unable to register to the network. - Only solution is Switch off ur Mobile and switch on Again.

                                      5. Unable to call or Message – On swiping through right in contacts for call or swiping through left for message. The color is just retained and it never makes a call or message. this issue happens when u switch on your Mobile. Possibiliy you have to wait for 10 minutes or if still problem exist then - Only solution is Switch off ur Mobile and switch on Again.

                                      6. Hanging – So far my mobile hanged for about 20 times within 2 months. The buttons and the touch screen becomes unresponsive. You cannot even shut down it properly but hod the power button for long time and switch off.

                                      Minor Issue – 1 Performance Issue – Mobile is very slow on playing angry birds, it is not initially slow, when u play for more than an hour it gets stucked very often. No video player icon in the available default icons.

                                      2. Heat – phone gets heated up a lot while charging and while running applications.
