how do I get on wifi? help
@user_43644ved 2015-04-02T22:10:09Z
Don't buy this phone!!!! I've had it for almost 2 years, and its the worst phone I've ever had. I'd rather have my old Motorola Razor than this piece of junk.
@user_0521soluopasereht 2015-03-02T06:51:21Z
how do you turn on the speaker phone
@user_6229esore 2014-10-06T20:28:09Z
I have endured this phone for 3 years. It began calling people all by itself, while sitting on the table it would repeatedly call the last person I called. What a nightmare. Good riddance, have fun in the landfill. ;)
@user_0101reggoL 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
YOU CANT DOWNLOAD MUSIC ON THIS PHONE DONT BUY IT
@user_truDtruB 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
I need to find out how to get the SIM card out
@user_2211ecinognib 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
does the phone have a front view camera ??
@user_68sttawrelyt 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
How do you unlock the samsung SCH-U380
@user_72r0t4n4mG 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
How is the touchscreen? I am an iPod user and am used to that type of touchscreen. Would I find similar quality? Or would I have to use it like a Nintendo DS?
Thank you.
@user_6809nesnajyaj 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Isn't the bright side blue the improved version?
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
kweninc Np!
@user_cninewk 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Thx
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Last I remember it didn't work for me, but maybe it might have that feature now.
@user_cninewk 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Can you zoom in on pics like the iPhone? (by spreading your thumb & index apart)? I saw the double tap for full screen....but I'm curious about the zoom
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Trying getting another charger if that doesn't work your Charging/USB Port is defective.
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
This phone does not have Wi-Fi so you cannot use Wi-Fi on it only Data.
@user_7633reituolcadnarim 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
I have the exact same problem!
@user_7633reituolcadnarim 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
My phone will not charge. can i have some help?
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
So is Facebook failing to send you texts/notifications to your phone now? Or did it only just work on your Hotshot?
@user_1268nostamesined 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
How do i text to facebook with this phone?? I have done it before with my panctech hotshot and now i can't with this phone... I have reset everything with this phone on facebook for free texting and i get text messages sent to my phone when people post on my timeline....
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Well happy to hear that you like it so far but yeah like I said I just don't see if it has Temple Run or not. But yeah it would be nice!
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Lol well how are liking the Brightside so far?
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
It should be just plug and play. Have you tried using other mics or maybe your headset requires you to press the button to talk I know some older ones require that if you have one other wise like I said should be plug and play.
@user_542kwr 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Question: do you know how to use ear buds (with a mic) on this phone?
I tried it, and i can hear things through the ear buds, but the person on the other end of the phone line can't hear me.
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
All I can recommend is trying a different charger and if that still doesn't work then your Charging Port is damaged and you'll have to go to a shop to get it replaced.
@user_1657auqsuhsoj 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
I have the same phone and right now it won't charge for some strange reason and i cleaned the charging port out and still nothing to be working:( please help.
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Nice, hope you'll like it!
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
I didn't text on the phone so I can't say much about it. Not many people asked about Threaded messaging on this phone but for the Extravert I think people said there was an option to have that. I can't say for sure because still I haven't texted on either phone.
@user_DXlebeRelttiLstI 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
does this phone phone have like threaded messaging?
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
So for the Extravert it's a bit smaller and idk if you'd like it or not but I find that to be the better phone build quality wise. Size and looks I'd go for the Brightside. I can't tell you much on texting on either phones because I don't text. But yeah that's what mostly my reviews or comparisons are on these phones. I hope you will pick the one you can enjoy the best!
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Hi, Yeah it sure does look like a decent phone but I was just disappointed by the overall interface of the phone because of it's limited customization which I believe most people dislike out of it too. Build quality wise I found the LG Extravert to be a bit better and I have a opinion video between the two phones. The battery life on the Extravert I found was better too. The only thing I like about the Brightside is the look and larger screen and overall size of the phone.
@user_sngiSpotSotnIgninnuR 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Hi I saw this phone and thought it looked good. When i went into the store it was a fake version of the phone so i couldnt try it. Would you recommend this phone to anyone? All i will do it text. And it the battery the only bad thing about it or is it just an overall bad phone? I really want some feedback to help me make my choice on a new phone. I was hesitant because i saw it had a 2.5 star review on the vzw website. A reply would be very helpful.
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Nope it doesn't! You can add one if you want though!
@user_9505nospmisanrol 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
So does it require a data plan?
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Nice, I wanted the Rogue for sometime when it came out but never got it because of the $10 Data fee that was required. Glad you found it and glad it still works to this day! I had a Samsung SCH-a670 which was my first cell phone and I left it in my Jeans and my mom washed them and put it though the dryer and it came out still being on. I left it to dry and the only thing defective was the battery. It was the best phone I ever had! But as time comes I need to upgrade so it is long gone.
@user_tlx0002 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
I am looking at this, i have the rogue now and i am long overdue for a upgrade, the rogue by the way i lost under the snow two years ago...
I was out side calling and calling with the house phone and finally found it at the side of the driveway under 6 inches of drifted soft powder, took it inside and opened it up battery out, set it infront of the bathroom heater for an hour and put the battery in the next day,,,IT WORKS to this day
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Yup it is!
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Nice! Hope you'll enjoy it!
@user_81161RJ 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
i'm getting this phone Wednesday nice vid
@user_QobolhC 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
A phone is a phone everyone at least u have one
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Yeah that's one of the major down points of this phone that I talked about but some people actually don't mind it. Because of this design I prefer the LG Extravert over the Brightside.
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Ohh feel sorry for you. Guessing you're not liking the phone so far?
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Thanks! Haha Yup I don't either but I have a feeling I might be upgrading soon toward a new Smartphone.
@user_9991mikretep 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Good review, thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for, don't want to become a iZombie walking around with head stooped down every free second of the day.
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Haha Nice!!
@user_2209civozatjakamme 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
That's the same phone I have
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Haha No Probs!! But no I am not, sold it!
@user_3eteptiac 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Oh wait I already commented on here. LOL
@user_3eteptiac 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Hi, are you still using the Brightside?
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Yes you would! You can still go on Youtube without a data plan just that they charge you by MBs and your bill would be sky high so a data plan would be the better way to go!
@user_TYetanretlAehT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Would u be able to get YouTube if u had a data plan
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
I think it would be better than the Pantech Hotshot. I was just never a fan of that phone. It might have a bit more freedom on the software but Quality wise I don't think it can get any better.
@user_101hcnupyeldud 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
would this be better than the pantech hotshot
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
It is a Basic Feature Phone. No Data required!
@user_2kaerfehtem 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Is this a smart phone?
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
The Phone doesn't have built in Wi-Fi so the only way for a Data connection is though Verizon's Data and no other options available.
@user_9777rekcoreciehtekaj 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
can you connect to wifi for free with a no data plan?
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
It should be in the Display Settings for the Standby Screen Theme or Wallpapers.
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Ohh Nice! If you don't mind spending a bit more money I'd definitely recommend the Samsung Galaxy S3 as it's a much more updated version just for a bit more, I know it's been pretty popular and everything but played around with my friend's S3 and it's pretty nice! Or you can look at Motorola too they have well built phones too, but whatever your choice is will be the right choice! Good luck!
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Haha yeah there isn't much to do on it. If you're really into the Social Networks and Apps definitely recommend upgrading to a Android/Apple OS Phone being that Feature Phones are generally made for people that just need to make calls and maybe text. Do keep in mind Data Plans are needed for new Smartphones though, so sacrifices will be needed!
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Cool
@user_retarPnitsuJ 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
probably gonna get this phonr
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Ohh I see, Thanks for the info really helps! Thanks!
@user_21ylatiXustioD 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Okay, I actually figured this out on accident, but to zoom in on a picture that's already been zoomed...er... If you look at a picture, and click zoom, to zoom in closer, you hold down your finger. There should be up and down arrows to zoom in and out and you just have to scroll either up and down.
Problem solved, happy trails!
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Haha Yeah Same Here!! Well I am actually using a Smartphone but a very old one that doesn't require a Data plan and I think is still quality stuff. It's a Samsung i760, my phone before that was a Samsung U740 which I still have today that my dad was using for sometime before I bought him a Chocolate 2. Hmm did you buy a OEM LG Battery for your Octane some of them might be bad at times over the sitting time. Yeah older feature phones were cool, not like now!
@user_3eteptiac 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
It sucks to feel like we have no choice but to go to smart phones. Its manipulating! I don't need the internet on my phone enough to pay a ridiculous amount. I want a reliable phone. What phone do you have now? I like my Octane a lot but I ordered a new battery and it still doesn't stay charged. The enV touch has been my favorite phone out of any I've had.
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Yeah every carrier is looking towards the Smartphone world now as that's where they make their money while leaving people like us sometimes being forced to move on. I don't really think there would be a carrier that doesn't focus on Smartphones since the Basic phone business is slowing down a bit. What I do for a basic upgrade is buy older feature phones online and use those and those have more quality and still stay cool in my opinion! Yeah as the world changes so do businesses!
@user_3eteptiac 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Good to know. Verizon could care less about their basic phones. They are all horrible and can't last the 2 year contract. Makes me wonder if there is a better service for basic phone users since Verizon revolves around smart phones. Being disappointed after 2 weeks is pitiful. I've seen that the Brightside is a defective phone which sounds scam-like to me by Samsung/Verizon
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
No Problem! No unfortunately I sold this phone a couple weeks after making this video. I was overall very disappointed by the battery life and I never over charge my batteries and always drain them out before I do but they just never last long. I'd recommend the LG Extravert a lot more which I also did a video comparison to this phone being that it has a better build quality and more customization in the phone. Still it's best to check out the phones in person and see what you like!
@user_3eteptiac 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Thanks for your review. Are you still using the Samsung Brightside? Has it slowed down since you got it? I am trying to wait until a new basic phone comes out but my LG Octane is getting worse and worse. Love the phone though. I see bad reviews for the Brightside but I feel like that is the idiots who are trying to compare it to an iPhone
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
I highly doubt it cause I just don't see the phone having the power to operate Minecraft even though it doesn't seem like a high requirement for power. So it leaves me unsure and I could be wrong. Can't check either cause I sold the phone. Sorry about that!
@user_3sp21xobx 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Can u get minecraft on it
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Yeah you never know!
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
No Problem!
@user_eegoeedtd 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
ok thanks for your help
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
I highly doubt that this phone has compatibility with that App. I believe it only works with Android and Apple products.
@user_eegoeedtd 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Do you know if you can get Instagram because i got the phone but my dad wont let me open it until Christmas
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
I drag and drop music files like MP3s onto the Micro SD card which I had in the phone, and why I do that is because it will not read the phone and load files onto the On board memory which is why I bought a Micro SD card for it.
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Sorry to hear that.
@user_rosnesmer 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Ive had this phone for about 4 months now since the tow truck driver stole my old one. So far it has:
1:Randomly called people.
2:Dialed voicemail on its own frequently.
3:It turns on all the time when I have it shut off and in my pocket.
4:Wont let you use t9 word when using the button screen.
5:Wont let you delete individual sound recordings, there is only an option to erase all.
I could easily keep going but have no room. I guess it has a decent camera... Not impressed with this phone at all.
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Not sure if you have the same phone but this phone doesn't have Wi-Fi, you're probably using Verizon's 3G Data and probably not know you're being charged by megabyte if you don't have a data plan. But if yours has it feel free to prove me wrong with a video.
@user_777selbbuBelzziJ 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Yes the phone has wi-fi I can tell you that because I got it and it does have Wi-Fi
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
No Problem, the phone was acceptable if you didn't expect much in the software. Other things is that I find that it has a poor battery life compared to other feature phones so that was a big impact to me, otherwise I see it as a acceptable phone for everyday use. Yeah I'm guessing it's one of the older Sony Xperia Play which is a good phone just that it's a bit outdated, but still a good phone! No Problem!
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Sorry, but it doesn't have Wi-Fi. None of the Feature phones have Wi-Fi.
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Nice! Thanks for the info!!!
@user_3TIL3tsoM 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
After clicking zoom, you press your finger down on the screen and it will begin to zoom all on its own. You release your finger and press down again to zoom out!
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Nope it's a Basic Feature Phone!
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Personally I haven't been able to do that myself either, but now I no longer have the phone I can't try again. But looking at it even the Extravert doesn't have a option to zoom in on photos other than putting it on fullscreen mode.
@user_21ylatiXustioD 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
How do you zoom in on a picture in your gallery? I press "zoom" and it only goes to fullscreen, not on a specific part that I might want to zoom in on.t
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Nice how did you change it? Pretty sure many people would like to know. Thanks!
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
You go to Display Settings and change the layout style. I don't have it step by step but it's somewhere in there!
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
You can have it set up in the Security Options found in Settings. The Lock Code is only available when you power on the phone, it will not be available as a instant or standby lock for every time you turn off and on the screen. So that is one major disappointment for this phone.
@user_608esoRwolley 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
I'm wondering how you can set up the security lock code on this phone. I'm not sure how to do it.
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Haha some people do!
@user_anaisiuoLannaoJ 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
honestly, who cares about the ringtones...? not me
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
It has to be at least over half a year or more since this phone has been out because I uploaded this video 5 months ago and when I got it it had been out for some time already. As far as I know there hasn't been anything new with it, but maybe someone has something new on it, not sure!
@user_redniColoS 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
How long has this phone been out has there been any changes
@user_81BlacipyT 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Haha it's only a basic Point & Shoot. It's a Samsung TL110 paid like $150 for it 1 - 2 years ago at Costco!
