i've had my jet for 1.5 months and now it is in the samsung service center because it is always rebooting and i can't use it anymore. i just found out that samsung is not compatible with the 128k sim cards, it can only take the lower memory sims. anybody here using 128k sims? better check with your samsung dealers if you can use it. i will have to request globe for a downgraded sim. anybody here with the same problem? oh i'm in the philippines

deionas, 11 Dec 2009I have my samsung jet s8000 for about a week now, everythin... morehi deionas

I had the same Problem like you.
I couldnt connect into the internet over wifi.
So i have given it to Samsung Support Center.
They couldnt find any problems.

I thought its maybe because of the software or fimrware. But after trying many times i could connect.

The SSID key and WEP or WAP was wrong written by me every time.

Make u sure that u have everything written correct

Samsung Jet , 10 Dec 2009Everyone has the the opinion that the samsung have bad App ... moreTo Samsung Jet:
1. The price of this phone retailed when it was launched at ove Euro 400. If this is cheap for you, it is not for us.
2. It is not just the applications. Read the post at the end of this page which has 7+2 points. Only 1 refers to applications. Applications is a minor problem compared to the rest of the Jet problems.
3. The jet is not a smartphone. We know but you dont seem to know it as you say "other smartphones."

elow is a detailed list of what you expect with the new FW, you should if you have not installed these:

1. Customize Menu

With this new feature, it is possible to rearrange the main menu according to their own desires. To do this, tap on the new icon at the top right corner of the menu and can then either in portrait or landscape mode to move the icons of the programs and arrange free. After you finished you type store and ensures the new settings.

If you want to reset the default layout on one chooses reset.
The Quermodus is only available for the ordering of the symbols.
2. New Media Browser
R0017255.JPG R0017256.JPG R0017257.JPG
The new media browser replaces the old, lame photo browser, which has deeply angered and disappointed many users. That's over now. The MB presented briskly and modern, offering a new attractive Cover Flow design that according to the filters you can use to organize the media such as photos and videos, adapts.

One can also tag images and then combine images into groups. With an ever operated on the right timeline, collections can quickly browse.
The MB is just fun and invites you to browse.
3. New MP3 Player
R0017264.JPG R0017265.JPG R0017267.JPG
The MP3 player has undergone a facelift and now presents itself in a new design which is the cover art clearly stands in the foreground.
By tapping the cover appear to additional controls. The volume can be regulated via the side buttons.

In the player are user Quermodus previous firmwares the new design of the cover flow, but especially the huge speed boost to notice and learn to love.

Cover, as it is now flowing smoothly, almost too quickly across the screen. Additional controls are found not only pause / play does not, what needs to get over, however.
4. New Widgets
R0017258.JPG R0017274.JPG R0017275.JPG
Anyone who has tried to download new widgets, was often met with a message "Maximum number of" face. Neither could delete old or install new widgets. Frustration was announced.

Samsung has been working on the widget management and removes the annoying limit. Without problems can reload now many widgets.

Moreover, the new firmware with some interesting and useful widgets is provided: Connected Home, Photo-Contacts, and numerous widgets known online communities like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter are included.
5. Browse by Dolfin
R0017270.JPG R0017272.JPG R0017273.JPG
The Dolfin browser is now a little more nimble on the road and has undergone some design changes. Thus, the Back button moved to full-screen button which simplifies the operation.

The favorites are unoccupied and can be added as desired.
6. Stream Connected Home
R0017259.JPG R0017262.JPG R0017263.JPG
Users will notice the new menu item "Connected Home" when they open the new menu for the first time.
Rightly, many ask themselves, what is for now is hidden behind it. In CH the user opens up versatile opportunities to share the information contained on the mobile media with devices from other users.

Some of the concept of DLNA is in this context to say something. DLNA is an amalgamation of a number of well-known electronics companies, which will enable media between different devices such as mobile phones, TVs, recorders, etc. to share and stream.

CH, therefore, represents the DLNA client of the jet, which can be used as streaming video on the jet to a compatible TV. Or you can stream his music library as an audio stream from the jet to a DLNA-compliant facility. Various combinations are possible. The jet will then function as so-called digital media server (DMS). The structure of a compound similar to the Wi-Fi and BT connectivity and is easy and done quickly.

More on DLNA can be found here.
7. Notable
R0017268.JPG R0017273.JPG R0017276.JPG
Besides the above mentioned new main features can be found here and there, small improvements to a noticeable only gradually.

Worth mentioning the ability of the e-mail clients display HTML content directly in Quermodus you to new menu items (eg touch panel) into submenus, and new icons, much improved audio quality (AAC) in the recorded video, the possibility of JAVA applications directly from memory card to be able to install (refers to XEII2) and a freshened design in the Media menu.
8. Evaluation and Conclusion
R0017271.JPG R0017266.JPG R0017254.JPG

As you can see, Samsung has done Something that the jet can meet the high expectations set. Without question, some improvements could be made.

Some will grumble and turn away, perhaps disappointed, but will the majority of users make friends with this update, at last, with the jet and enjoy it. Everything runs more smoothly, smoother and more pleasant.

The design of some elements has been revamped and now do more. Additional features and widgets facilitate the daily use of the phone and, together with the support of the new DLNA client feature the multi-alignment of the jets.
