kazePC, 11 Mar 2013My BEAM drain battery so fast. Can't go to deep sleep at al... moreOkay people, I thought I would give some helpful advice on this device for those who are having issues.
Firstly, I own one of these and I've never been more happy with a phone.
I have no idea why you are having battery drain on this device since it has a very high capacity battery, and Samsung includes 2 batteries in the box! But if you are having battery problems, then you may have apps and software which may cause this; Try doing a factory reset - settings - storage - usb storage = format USB storage. THEN factory reset phone: Settings - privacy = factory data reset. Once it reboots, try NOT putting any new apps on the device to see if it stays alive longer (which it should now). Then slowly add apps onto the beam and keep in mind of any previous apps you've installed when it was dying quickly (if your phone batt starts to drain quickly again, then take note when it started and look at the apps you've installed... that's probably the reason)
Secondly, If you don't have the Google Play on your phone then it's probably not an actual Samsung Galaxy Beam.
HOW TO SAVE YOUR RAM: root your phone: http://theunlockr.com/2012/12/28/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-beam-i8530/
(Which gives you access to the system files and the ability to change system components and settings that you cant normally change)
Goto Google Play and get the following free apps.
SUPERUSER - Which allow you to add programs that can control your beam's system settings.
Now get control back!!!
Download these apps (Be careful with rooting and rooted apps, some changes are very difficult to fix or can even break your phone completely)
SUPERMANAGER - (use this to stop apps from starting up automatically when you reboot your phone)
APP QUARANTINE - Which allows you to freeze apps that you don't use (which will normally run in the background and suck up your free ram)
AVAST ANTIVIRUS - Use this as a firewall for your phone (Stops apps from connecting to the internet and using your data plan, like angry birds and other games that you don't need / want to be going online for no reason).
AD AWAY - Now your rooted phone can block loads of push adverts and you'll never see another popup advert again! YES!!
Now you've just made your phone awesome! But let's say that you make a massive mistake or you get too crazy with rooting your phone and make a mistake... then here is the original Samsung Galaxy Stock ROM to fix it!
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I8530
Don't worry, I've done all of these steps myself and I know what does and doesn't work... everything I've told you here works like a dream!
Also, when you unroot your phone, your data, apps and settings stay the same. the Samsung ROM will reinstall and fix all of the original settings and programs. So you'll need to redo what I suggested above again after unrooting.
Hope that's some help to my international friends!
See ya!

I bought the galaxy beam in august 2012 and im still loving the phone. its got everything one would like to have in a cell phone. it does everything a laptop can do as well as an hd projector. The projector has a quick pad, a visual presenter and it works as a torch as well. The clarity of the display screen is amazing! however it does have one or 2 minor things wrong. The ram of mine is 554mb which that isn't bad but should be a little higher. the second minor issue is the lag when playing games such as temple run. overall the phone is amazing! it comes in only one colour (charcoal & yellow) which makes it unique and not too commercial where you see everyone with the same phone as you. its not very big you can still type with one hand on it and it fits in my hands.
