          Regarding the “no events”.events would show only if you have new messages,missedcalls,etc. its actually a notification for new messages,missed call,email,etc. and it cannot be removed from widget list since its not included there. events doesnt actually mean tasks,bday,etc.

              king, 24 Jun 2009no it does not have incoming call recording facility.However the S5233 does! and an answering machine as well. Be lovely if later on someone wiill find a way to flash S5233 Firmware sucesfully onto a S5230 handset.

                        3.5800XM is rs.19,000 man...

                        4.u can't unmark the "NO EVENTS" widget. the option is not given there. it comes automatically.

                        8.radio... sry my last point was incomplete in the question. the radio sound is ok, but everytym i touch the screen for any operation, it disturbs the radio sound, that is, a "BEEP" sound is heard.

                            hi all...
                            here r sum of the probz i'm facing. wonder if u cud solve dem.

                            1.is there a way to set birthday reminders on this fone?? u can do it by saving them as schedules on the calendar and "repeat the alarm every year" but is there a more systematic way??

                            2.there r character smileys in the sms sysbols list. can we have graphical smileys like on the nokia s40s?? i really miss them a lotttt. luv nokia.

                            3.is there anyway to disable the auto-slide feature when u see pics in landscape mode?? this thing is very sensitive and the pics keep scrolling at high speed just at the slightest bending of the fone. dats irritating wen u're showing photos to ur frndz.

                            4.can we disable the "no current events" widget from the widget bar?? this "!" mark keeps popping on top of the widget bar without any reason (even when there r no reminders)...

                            5.why does it start ringing 3-4 seconds after the call comes in. so u can't hear if sum1's giving u missed calls for a few secs. this is a big problem im facing, since miscals r a big fashion mowadays n i need it.

                            6.while playing videos, sumtimes the audio is not synchronised with the vide. that is, the audio goes faster than the video.

                            7.there is a "CALL END" touch feature on screen when there's a call. why is there no "CALL RECEIVE" touch option??

                            8.radio reception is too bad. and stupid sounds

                              I just got a new phone(samsung S5233) touch screen yesterday..problem with earphones sound..
                              it has volume variations when i listen to songs with my ear phones..not on the speaker.
                              The sound, it swings between normal volume and low volume. WHat's happenin?How do i fix it?Will I get a replacement?I got the phone with a warranty

                              and how do i change the ringtone settings?
                              i don't want it to increasingly ring..i want it to ring normally.

                              thank you :)

                                        kar, 24 Jun 2009i am wondering why the pics and tunes that are in my memory... moreGood idea if thats what it does do. It also means if you remove the memory card at some stage at least all the wallpaper photos etc are backed up on the phone so you can still see them.
