I keep reading posts that this phone is for light users only and people are expecting too much from a cheap phone. I am a light user I phone and txt only, but the phone constantly turns itself off , it has wiped my calandar completley so I dont know any of my appointments. I cannot see the txts I have sent and I dont recieve my txts. The phone freeze all the time, the camera plays up and my time and date are wrong and have gone back to january. The list of problems is endless and I am off to buy a new phone, even though I cannot afford it because I cannot trust this phone at all. I will never buy a samsung again.

    I have never before had a phone as useless as the J1 from SAMSUNG!! The Samsung repair shop convinced me with the first J1 that the phone somehow developed a water related problem, the repair of which was +- equivalent to the price of a new J1 -- I fell for the explanation and bought my current J1 (which I think I should throw it in the bucket and go and retrieve my very old first Nokia):
    The screen goes blank if someone phones (not every time),
    you have to wait a full minute for an apps to respond or it simply goes blank on you and after some time says the apps is not responding..
    I can list more such annoying problems, but the above has almost made me throw the phone to pieces on a wall!

      Am I the only one who has some kind of screen problem? It taps like 20 times/sec where I don't even tap? What should I do?

              This phone gaves nightmares. Im texting 1 line sms for 10 minutes. But its really goodstres test because you need to hold yourself back so you dont trow it and jump on it. It crashes more than me in gta san andreas. Please im WARNING you dont buy it. Nokia 3310 is ten times faster.

                      Is this phone a good replacement for the S5. I can not afford a S5/6 at this stage. At the moment I have a Galaxy 4 Tablet.

                                      I so wish no one to buy this phone because its a crap,i bought mine last year but i didn't even use it for 2weeks,it types on its own, its freezing, switch on and off on its own

                                      I did send back to the service provider 4 times but couldn't fix it, then i went to samsung they couldn't aswell so its waste of money
