If you want the best solution, you must root your phone (you gain full access) but you must be careful when you do this, resize you sd card in 2 partitions (the second will be used by Link2SD), install the Link2SD application. This app install all applications on the second partition, and create symlink in the internal memory.

You could read opinions form other models of Samsung and You'll see that the average of people crying of how bad the phone is, it's quite little. So, even if You don't have problems with your Xcover, that doesn't mean that all the guys complaining are bad users and it's only their fault. Perhaps You're Samsung employee and You need to raise a little bit this phone's image? I think that this site is very usefull when need some users opinion over each phone model, beside the salesman's recommendations. 10x.

It switches off momentarily in a particular place where the coverage is poor, and almost on a daily basis the software locks up and even though the phone appears to be on it actually won't take calls or sms's. very frustrating when trying to do business. I think I will get a Sony xperia z today.

                This is my second phone from Samsung and I will never buy a Samsung. My conclusion is simple: I do not recommend anyone to buy samsung.

                      All these people crying over how bad this phone is shouldn't be allowed to own phones, because if they managed to destroy this one then they're hopeless. It's a good phone, I've had mine for 1,5 years, dropped it many times while drunk but it still works as good as the day I bought it.

                        I really dont know what are you guys doing with your phones. Mine is around a year old, it fell meny times, I have put it in water, freezer, you name it. It is beaten up, but it works good and it has first screen with only one scratch. Some of you have problems with apps. Mine stores them on memory card, so i dont see a issue with small internal memory. The only thing that bothers me is the reception is sometimes really bad.

I wish there was a way to upgrade the shitty software and see if this improves battery life, reception while I clean up the apps jungle of crap at the same time. This is a case of good ideas gone wrong by having boneheads slap things together without truly thinking about the value they should be delivering to the customer.

                                        After 6 months I gave up and replaced my Xcover with a 'real' smartphone. True, it is solid and it looks nice. But I had many problems with storage capacity and basic functions like making a phone call or picking up the phone. The storage capacity is very disappointing: I needed to remove data from the phone almost daily. The phone was terribly slow. Worse: when I wanted to pick up the phone, it didn't respond fast enough so I was too late. Making a phone call was hard too, because often the phone just didn't follow my instructions. I was very very disappointed in this phone!
