  3. Shal says:

    I have the exact same question as JMC. What software is it that we need for this phone?

  4. adam says:

    when you figure out what software is needed can you let me know a_leroy@live.com

  5. adam says:

    im gonna keep looking in the meantime and will post ion here if i find it

  6. Craig says:

    You don’t need any software. When that screen comes up on your computer just cancel out of it. Once you plug in the phone to the computer using the usb cord, then press menu “0″, “5″, “1″. Then you will be able to use the phone just as you would a digital camera by accesing the drive through windows explorer.

  7. billie says:

    does it work if you don’t have a memory card?

  8. mian says:

    how exactly do you put the memory into the phone… it says something about bottom right yet i cant see anywere you would put a SD card in..

  9. Doublet says:

    Mian, Turn your mobile over, and on the top ridge of the phone there should be a black button. Press this button in, and then pop off the back case of the phone. It might feel like it will break off but it will not. Snap that off, in order to gain access to the battery pack, as well as your microSD card slot in the bottom right.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers.

    i’ve had the slyde for about a year now. and it’s been pretty good to me but lately it has been just randomly shutting off.
    i went to telus and he said to just download the new software for it, however i cannot seem to find it most links just take me to Q&A boards and such, i did try doing the update from my phone itself but it keeps telling me “server communication faild.unable to continue the software update”
    anyone have any ideas?

  21. Owen says:

    is there a update to this phone,,,, your sd card holder is under the back case bottom right when looking at the phone from the back, when plugging in the computer you will get a screen pop up ignore that, theres a setting on your cell that you can choose under tools, MASS STOREAGE, then click connect to PC,,,, so is there any updates to the phone, because mine wont connect to the server

  22. Arky says:

    Go to samsung web site and download the Pc studio prgrams. This phone doesn’t work with that program but it does give you all the drivers you need for the computer to find it when you plug it in.once all the drivers are in downloaded( don’t have phone plugged in until after) you can delete the PC Studio( all the drivers load in seperate driver programs in add and remove programs so they won’t uninstall the drives when you uninstall PC Studio) hope this helps. It’s what I did and now have no problem when i connect my phone.

  23. la la says:

  24. mee says:

  25. not-available. says:

    so i have this phone, except when i go to charge it, it doesn’t charge… does anyone know how to fix this? i took it into telus and they didn’t really say anything about it.

  26. Devo says:

    So I have not had any problems with this phone at all, however I transferred some pictures from my photo album to the sd card before formatting it and now they won’t show up on the card and are no longer in the phone’s memory. Is there any way to get the pictures back to the phone? Or format the sd card without losing the pictures that might be there but not viewable? Thanks.
