1. for all those who are facing problems on external sd card installation, try using super box application from the app store.
2. using that application you can transfer your applications to the external sd card.
3. Only very few applications will be moved to your internal sd card.i don't know on what basis that happens but in my phone only the asphalt 5 moved to internal sd card when I choose the option to move to sd card.i 've installed around 30 applications and 20 games out of which 14 cannot be moved to sd card.35 in external sd card and 1 in internal sd card.
4. But if you still 've problems then check the external sd card for it's working and se e that it is inserted properly.

    Apparantly the SAR value of this phone seems too high:
    Its mentioned as:

    SAR value 1.62mW/g over Samsung India website.

    BTW, how is the Quadrant & Neocore score for Galaxy SL? Is it possible to overclock it to higher CPU Frequency?

    How is the screen visibility in sunlight.. PLease let me know.. Currently I am so confused over this & Moto Defy.. If anyone using Defy, also let me know the screen visibilty in sunlight & from angles.. Basically whose display is better?

        Dinesh, 16 Mar 2011Bought this phone from Alpha store in Vile Parle(w), Mumbai... moreDinesh,
        Is brown colour available at Alpha?
        Did you have to bargain for price?
        Did you get bill with 1yr warranty card?

          Dinesh, 16 Mar 2011Bought this phone from Alpha store in Vile Parle(w), Mumbai... more@ Dinesh .... did you buy with bill in that price from alfa? ... if so its good then as croma stated 19990 for it

          @ samsung galaxy SL .... go for class 6 and above if possible...though they are expensive but you would feel the speed and access.

              Hi All,

              I tried playing various HD/nonHD video files on this device. Some were my BDRips. I played these files with Meridian & RockPlayerLite. Following is the output.
              (FileName-Size-Video/AudioCodec-BitRate-Resolution-Output)

              RockPlayerLite:
              IM -1.8 GB-avc1/mp4a-1929kbps-1280*544- Slow-motion playback & slow-motion audio(Useless)

              PoP -1.5 GB-avc1/mp4a-1944kbps-720*304 - Nice Playback & audio

              XM3 -700 MB-avc1/mp4a-942 kbps-1280*544- Nice Playback & audio

              Meridian:
              IM -1.8 GB-avc1/mp4a-1929kbps-1280*544- Can't play
              HP -2.2 GB-avc1/mp4a-2042kbps-1280*544- Can't play
              KB -900 MB-avc1/mp4a-958 kbps-1280*544- Nice Playback & audio

              XM3 -700 MB-avc1/mp4a-942 kbps-1280*544- Nice Playback & audio

              So, even though this device can play HD video, I think it can play only those HD videos whose BitRate is low & it cant handle HD files that has very high bit rate i.e files with big size.

              Can anybody please tell me what is this Bit-rate threshold below which movies must be encoded to play on this device? Or even if there is any other way to play all these files, please let me know.

                  bought this a week before...

                  many guys out there are complaining about the screen quality bt as much as i have experienced till yet...ITS SUPERB(n specially with a price tag so low...early in 20k)

                  no problem with processing n dare not think anything about hanging like those nokia phones do...(even the highly acclaimed N8)

                  android market is awesome...n froyo is cool too!!

                  wifi is excellent

                  touch is simply above all...

                  camera is same (means very nice...especially daytime videos...HD) bt still thinking y dnt they add a flash with the new one..

                  overall it can achieve CULT STATUS in smartphones provided v see to its simply affordable price..around 21k...

                  anyone planning to buy should do it ryt now...!!!!!

                      Same goes to games.. Games like NFS, Fifa, Spiderman downloads data thru wifi for gaming and stores them to default Internal SD... if you manually move those folders to external SD, those games will not work... it'll again ask us to download those datas from internet...

                      i've tried everything and it does not work... so u can use your external SD card only for storing media files like songs, videos, photos, etc... u cannot use them for apps n games..

                      I am about to buy this cell in couple of days...cant v really store games on external SD card???
