Anonymous, 07 Sep 2009youtube problem.. Any one tried to play youtube video on t... more"Cannot play Youtube videos on WIFI"

Okay folks some dodgy dealing going on that we are not being made aware of from Orange, Samsung & Youtube. (Could include other network operators)

If you set up your phone to access the internet on dial up, you will be able to watch the video clips but it will cost you. I had a conversation with Orange and they said buy a daily bundle for a £1 but this limits you to 25M for the day???

Most of us with any brains would want to connect to the internet via a free / home WIFI hub. Loads of people have stated, including myself that you can connect to Youtube via WIFI but cannot stream videos.

1. Don't listen to half the idiots that tell you to reconfigure your router...It's balderdash.
2. Don't listen to the muppets that tell you that you should access tinytube.net due to scaled resolution videos..again rubbish.
3. Don't listen to the man that says Youtube only does HD and thats why your phone cannot view youtube vidoes...Poppycock
4. Dont listen to the reprobates that tell you to reconfigure your network connections...this just muddy's the water. The systems are intelligent to match your mobile network criteria.
5. If these guys don't get it sorted take your phone back as you will be entitled to a full refund for faulty goods.
6. Dont listen to me, but I can see others are in the same boat.

Hope this puts some of you at ease. You are not alone.

          Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970I will buy it from ebay!

          It costs there 250 €. The Post is free.

          only 1 thing of the device is so bad and that the watching of youtube videos.

          its very bad quality.

          but i will buy it because the rest is perfect

          imagine you watch divx videos with high resolution on AMOLED display that amazing

          sorry but im a movie freak

            what's the difference between the white and black version of the JET.
            i can't see any difference except colour but the price is so much differ.

            is the 8Gb version of the JET really exist or it's just error spec?
            mine is only 2Gb and also my friends'.

                                  In true samsung s8000 NON user friendly fashion, NON intuitive OS, I have managed at last to download a couple of java apps that work and the third one i tried to download, the problems started.

                                  1. I tried to download a 7MB Java app and the phone said "Phone Memory Full".

                                  The phone memory has still 1.5 GB free and the SD card about 3.3 GB free.

                                  What is wrong with this phone? Everyone else seemed (from the reviews) to have downloaded the app fine on their nokia phones? Why cant i download it?

                                  2. Also why are the Apps i download (NOT games) placed under games? Why cant i make a folder and place them there or group them in some way so they are not in the same list as the games that came with the phone?

                                  3. Finally, how can I copy java apps I have downloaded from my phone to my memory SD card?

                                    Anonymous, 12 Dec 2009man ur jet dont have any problems like cant connect to wifi... morehello

                                    i will also buy this phone next week
                                    i can say you :

                                    Dont let u confused by all the negative comments about this device!

                                    Have you ever seen a Noki, Sony ericsson or samsung device without any software lacks?

                                    Me not!

                                    The People are commenting so negative because they was less informated.

                                    This phone isnt a smartphone like its showed in the advertises. Its a feature phone with less apps.
                                    There are some problems like to connect to the server from samsung over NPS to update the firmware.

                                    You will have less games for this device and programms! That the main disadvatage what uwould have!

                                    The rest is quite nice! The problems above can be solved but we must wait for samsungs server which has now problems.

                                    If u ask me why im so convinced? Because my friend have this device and he is really amazed by this!

                                    The best things here in short:

                                    -havent seen better Display than this
                                    -The Browser "Dolfin" is very user freidnly and fast
                                    -Camera UI and also Quality are very good (have took some pics)
                                    -The Media Browser and File Manager have nice options and design


                                    i only buy it to watch films and surf with it over wifi and taking photos sometimes

                                    the LOOK of this device is so lovely!

                                    im loving it

                                    and i hope i could convince you to that this is a good device
