when did most people first start noticing problems after buying this phone? ie.. problems with echoing, speakers, touchscreen, etc...? are these common issues? would many of you not recommend this phone?

    good luck. I needed mine serviced Samsung USA told me to contact Samsung Malayisa, Samsung Malayisa told me to contact Samsung USA. Then they tell me i have to bring it to a service center in Malayisa. WHen i tell them im in the US so after the runaround for a MONTH from samsung never got anywhere. I will never get a samsung phone again its near impossible to get it fixed.

            to get ride of ECHO :

            Steps to remove echo:
            1: Open Dialer
            2: Type *#8999*8378#
            3: Test Mode menu will appear
            4: Select 2.H/W test
            5: In H/W test menu select 2.Audio Settings
            6: In Audio Settings menu select 1.Normal
            7: In Normal menu scroll down and find HFR gain
            8: Change the value to 25 (you can try other values if you like to play with it. this is the one that worked for me)
            9: Press Save and then Save again. Then Exit the menu. Try and see if it worked.

            THIS SOLUTION FOR ME HAS WORKED IN ELIMINATING THE ECHO PROBLEM DURING A CALL IN NORMAL MODE. I HAVE ECHO NOW WHEN I USE THE LOUD SPEAKER BUT FOR ME THAT IS ACCEPTABLE.
            DO THIS IN YOUR OWN RISK.
            *** you should also write down the original value of HFR gain just in case you need it in the future***

            To Vianca: if by speakers you mean the headphones mine work OK. both of them. you probably need a new set.

            To Kate: try the voice recorder to see if it records your voice. also try using the hands free set to see if the other person can hear you this way. If the voice recorder records your voice then the phone's mic is ok. but i have no clue where the problem might be if the mic is ok.

                this uses microSD for its external memory suppurt, not MMC. And, there is no sony ericsson headset that is compatible with this phone. stop posting fallacious messages. thanks.

                                    I got my unit 3 months ago almost PhP14K in amount here in Phil., this is really a great multi-functional phone loved the AD2P with it... the sound is crisp & detailed when you will use bluetooth headphones... hey just a cute warning.... the casing is very prone to scratches
