Samsung Galaxy Beam (Projector) - Android General

Ladies and Gentleman,
Since there's no section for this amazing device, I'm going to post what I have to say here.
To get straight to the point, YES you can watch a movie with this gadget. At first I was a bit skeptic, projector implemented in a mobile phone...
Same size like a Pico projector but man this is a phone!
If you're interested check out my Galaxy Beam Projector review (its settings, options)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqzbtoMiCm0
Any thoughts?

Is the phone good for gaming?

i want this

Does anybody knows what is the current firmware for Europe? Poland to be more specific.

Sold my One X and bought one of these, Loved the One X but the battery was crap on it and not having a removable battery and sd card just wasnt for me, i really love the beam, i find it pretty smooth most of the time, but the Gingerbread OS is very buggy and im also having problems with the phone thinking its plugged in charging when it isnt im also getting mtp initializing/media scanner running and it wont stop i have to plug the phone in to charge to fix it but it starts up again at random intervals... anyone out there working with this phone? would love just a stock vanilla android ics or jellybean on it, it has hugh potential with the projector and is a pretty sweet phone also.

Perhaps if anyone receives the update they can post up here, post your location and carrier etc that'd be sweet..

Thinking of getting one of these phones, but to be honest the only thing really putting me off is that there is no XDA specific forum for it.
I know I am gonna want to root it etc and there seems to be people on here working on stuff for it, but having to post in android general just plain sucks.
Apparently it is the same as the Galaxy S Advance or something, and I do not see a forum for that either, can we not make one subforum to cover both phones?

a dedicated forum would definately come in handy... since it's one of a kind device!

Yep sounds good, really needs its own forum

anyone receive the update to jellybean on the galaxy beam?
I just manually checked for updates just now and my phone had a system update it was only about 8 meg could this be in preparation for Jelly bean?

Samsung Beam i8530 - ICS Update?

There is no section for the i8530 even though i have asked several times for one.
I love my Beam it`s so unique, I am surprised it`s not more popular, I am dying for an ICS update.
I love the way you have access to the sim and microsd from slots on the sides of the phone, no need to remove the battery every time you want to change them.
Also it comes with an external and normal charger and two 2000mah battery`s what other phone has this.
Anybody else have this phone.
The Samsung phone`s below have the same CPU/GPU
"Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, Samsung Galaxy S Advance"
John.
100% with you.I want to see rooted kernel + CWM
I have been using DVD catalyst 4 , to rip my DVD`s to 640x360 the projectors resolution called nHD , they look great on the Beams lcd display also and keeps the file size as small as possible, so i can get as many movies on my 32gb microsd.
Does anybody know if the beam will take as 64gb microsd, I want to wait for a Samsung one, as they have a lot of water/drop emf protection.
John.
I think, if samsung improves galaxy beam's spec, it gonna be bought a lots.
I am quite happy with the beams specs, My last phone was the Galaxy Note and before that the G2
The projector most likely is the most expensive part of the phone, so Samsung had to use a low spec cpu and display to keep the price down, though i am quite happy, I just want ICS Now!

I have been looking for a black gel not silicone case, but without the openings for the sim and microsd slots as it takes seconds to remove the case, and i dont like the feel of the case with the slots when i pick it up.
John.
I found a case without the sim/microsd openings on the side, it has a grip area instead, and comes with a free screen protector and all for only £0.99p
Same case on Amazon from the same company is nearly £4 , I dont know what`s going on there.

Galaxy Ace 2 rocks for a little phone.
Would love to root it and give it a tweaked kernel
Sent from outside the circle.
There is a root available for the Galaxy Beam i8530 on Gingerbread 2.3.6. However if your intentions are to use stuff like the SIXAXIS Controller app it doesn't work with the Bluetooth on i8530.
I'm also eagerly awaiting the ICS update from Samsung so I can start using USB HID and PS3 Controllers. I just don't feel like it is coming out any time soon as they are still rolling out 2.3.6 firmwares across the world.
I'd love to see ICS or maybe even some jelly beans on our Beam, but sadly, I don't think our community will ever grow much to the point we have devs willing to code for our phone
Really a shame, with the built-in projector, possibilities would be endless
Well, maybe if only one really good dev could get his hands on one, then maybe...
keep requesting , good things come to those who wait
My friend just bought this device just now and asking how to root this phone...

Ask here for a forum for the beam, i have asked several times nothing yet, got to keep trying.

[Q] Thinking about buying and have some questions

I haven't had a lot of hands on time with the Galaxy Note so I don't know a whole lot about it. I pretty much just want to know if it is a good tablet for school work. I was thinking about getting the Asus Infinity but I work at Best Buy and Samsung has a deal with us where we can get the Galaxy Note for $250 and I think it is a $500 tablet so that seems like a good deal to me...
Should I jump on the deal or get something else?
Wow that's awesome!! Yes yes of course! Thats a crazy steal!
The note 10.1 is absolutely great for school. Go check Samsung's full hands on video on it and the wealth of reviews on its functionalities.
Maybe i can make a short comparison between my Note 10.1 and my Original Asus Transformer TF101. I know the OG TF101 is a previous generation behind but apparently i read somewhere that some components like the I/O used in the Infinity is the same? Correct me if im wrong.
For daily use:
Keyboard- The N10.1 software keyboard is so so much more responsive!! I was very pleasantly surprised upon switching from my TF. Not sure about the Infinity.
Multitasking- You cant beat N10.1 on this. FIrstly, switching between apps is very fast. It doesnt hang or stall. My TF was a little laggier at this. The splitscreens, pop-up play and mini apps are awesome! No complains about that
Browser- Samsung stock browser is well known for being smooth and responsive. Surfing on my N10.1 is definitely a better experience!
S-Pen- Mind blowing note taking and drawing functionalities on N10.1. It honestly feels like a real pen. If you intend to use it for notes in classes, you will constantly appreciate it for how convenient it has made your life. You can easily rip out things you need from webpages and searches and plonk them into your notes. There is a plethora of features that really wowed me.
Speaker- Front facing speakers on the N10.1 really provides great audio for songs and videos.
Anyway,you should check out the thread on Note vs Infinity and the videos on youtube to better associate your actual usage with the tablet. When i first saw the hands on videos by Samsung, I knew i had to get it
the whole GALAXY to NOTE about...counting down from 10 to 1.
Jump on it! Don't think twice.
So it is that good? The Samsung Hands on video does look promising...I guess I will pick it up tomorrow then. Thanks for the insight guys.
BTW: Can you root and are there any good roms out or should I just use stock rom? I have a Galaxy S II with the AOKP Jelly Bean ROM.
Juicy tab. Seriously.
replaced my prime with the note...hands down i love it and dont miss my prime one bit.
Its bomb i just rooted and stock is plenty fast

Dang you! I want root but haven't gotten to it yet. Soon, very soon.
It took like 2 minutes and worked great

Good to know. It's no longer trepidation, it's health. Want to be well so I don't muck things up.
Method I or 2?
It will only get better once the Jellybean OTA is released (soon) and we get all the Note II functionality.
I used 2 because i like having cwm and use triangle away. and also because method one is close to a 1gb file and was taking long compared to the 6mb method 2 file

Secondary phone to buy

Hello all,
I want to buy a new phone, because I always do some experiments to my G3 and don't have sometimes enough time to recover it from bootloop or something... I also don't want to leave G3 comunity because you're the best friends now
So I ask, which phone would you recommend to me? As daily driver... I would keep my g3 for developing and tweaking . My requirements are the same as for this phone + root-friendly (if you know what I mean ) + CM available for it... Also it shouldn't be as expensive as sgs3 or galaxy nexus, etc... It also should have bigger screen...
So, what do you guys think? I thought about byuing sgs i9000 as it has almost fully working JB...

hi buddy this is just my suggestion as quadcore phones are already there and getting better every day and single core phone are about to vanish so i feel it would be better if you think about dual core phone as it will not only provide your better performance that single core processor but also will be future proof and supported with future editions of android phones.

Thanks, so, I'm going to save some more money, I'm sure it will be worth it then. I also don't want to go for SGSII because it has MMC_CAP_ERASE bug :silly:
Galaxy nexus is amazing and the development on their forums is amazing although you probably wont need to flash any rom or root the phone because it is already awesome and no bloatware since its a nexus

Well, not fully agree
First - Nexus doesn't have slot for microsd card.
Secondly, the GPU is worse than the SII.
Thirdly - SII is more efficient.
Fourth - SII has better camera (8Mpix), Nexus - 5Mpix.
Nexus has higher screen resolution - 1280 × 720, but made in pentile technology.
Also, I'm wondering about these two phones, but more convinces me - Samsung Galaxy SII.
What do you think about Snapdragon S4 CPU and Adreno 225 CHIPSET? Just wondering how this will perform in Asus Padfone... I like the fact that this phone will get JB officially, but no forums here at xda...

Here you have nicely described:

I have used the Galaxy s2 and galaxy nexus and i just prefer the feel of the nexus. It is very well built and the speed is very good. Also, its a nexus and nexus phones always get amazing development forums :good:
if someone want to do more reasearch with i-5801 phone and can't digest other models,
Its now Available thru vodafone @ Rs.4900/- which is 92 USD approx.

Not yet, instead of it I have HP Probook 4540s as for the price of Galaxy S3 here in Czech Republic. It's for school now. I'm happy with it I'm now writing on this notebook. Perfect keyboard!
However, galaxy nexus will probably follow. I don't want the Nexus 4 for the "bad screen responsiveness" bug.
PS: I won't EVER sell my Galaxy 3! Love this phone

The pro book looks great and I also feel the same way about my g3 lol. I was thinking of getting a new phone but i decided to wait until marcelluse says if he's going to continue with cm10 development or any development on the g3. My parents gave me a tab 2 for Christmas so I'm not in a rush for a newer phone. I wished I could have donated to the devs for their work on the g3 for Christmas but I don't have a job I'm a student. I will try in the future
Happy new years by the way.

I have a Nexus 4 and the dev over there is amazing. Yes if the micro-sd card slot and removal battery is a bumper, then this phone isn't for you. I would suggest the S2 or the Note 1. The Asus Padfone is a good choice but it makes sense when you have the tablet as well as the phone.
PS My Nexus 4 dosen't have any bugs.

Sony Xperia Z ultra VS a new galaxy mega ???

Ok I had a look at the sony z ultra today the 6.4" screen one and it looked amazing, the picture whilst watching a movie was better than my tv!
However I have a Samsung galaxy note, im not getting the note 3 as its to small, I prefer samsungs BUT the current galaxy mega 6.3" specs arnt that good compared to the sony.
I have heard that they should be bringing out a galaxy mega with S4 specs or something like that so my questions are -
Does anyone know if they are actually bringing a better mega out?
and
Anyone got any personal reviews on the Z ultra? looked online at reviews but would rather ask someone who has one
Im in the UK so needs to be a UK phone
Thanks
Yes, I am using the Xperia Z Ultra and it is phenomenal
I don't see why anyone would get a Galaxy Mega over this.

really can I ask you a few questions please, I WONT be getting the current mega but like I said I spoke to a Samsung rep she mentioned a newer one may be coming out this year with better specs so I am tempted to wait for that if its true?
So yeh -
How long have you had it, just as if you have installed all your stuff do you ever find it running slow or laggy at all?
Whats the battery like on it, will it last a day if you use it for the odd texts and phone calls etc?
Do you ever find applications/games that are unable to play as it may not support the phone at all?
Think that's it for now ill let you know if I have any more.
Could you also let me know if there are any problems or any good things you can share at all with it please?
Thanks
Battery easily lasts a day. Would require recharge at night though. No, this thing doesn't slow down at all. It does have the faste. processor available. And 2 gb of ram is plenty enough to multitask without the any app foreclosing.

Our Tablet is Dead.

I think our tablet is officially dead and this forum as well. Now that many new cheaper tablets have emerged I don't think people use this anymore. Mine was gathering dust since ages.
Do you still use your tablet and for what purposes?

my wife already adopted my tab..She's using it more than I do.
I still use it when I go out of town trips just for GPS and data connectivity.
This is my phone.. so i still use this "dead tablet"
Sent from my GT-P6200 using XDA Premium HD app
My p6210 is in Canada. We are still on 3.2 without an official OS update.
I recently updated to 4.1.2 following one of the suggestions from this site. It is nice to have the refresh. I wish it had been sooner. I would have preferred an official update rather rely on the benovelance of strangers on the internet. I'll never buy a samsung again.
For now, this tab still does what I need it to do, so i will squeeze a bit more life out of it. Also as it gets older, i am less adverse to taking risks with it. I may experiment with these new roms. If it bricks, i will buy a Nexus 7 or an Ipad Mini. Sorry, i want timely updates and not an obsoleted device after a few months.
Still on stock waiting for update... Use it for travel, GPS, and plan on using it for accepting credit card payments.
It's still my DD tablet. With 4.1.2 (stock just rooted, if I recall) its doing everything I need. Movies on the road, books, email, web and games.
Certainly drawn to the quad-core goodness on the market, but not enough to open my wallet. I'd rather go with a Nexus, but I'll probably stay with a Samsung for the micro-sd slot. Makes be crazy that Google went the Apple route and gouges you for memory. 64gb card, for $50 = 80GB tablet.
Still a fine piece of kit. Mine is rooted and has JB 4.1.2 (UK/Ireland version) installed along with CWM Recovery. I agree that the tendency of many OEMs to not provide a microSD slot is a PITA...in fact, for me it's a show-stopper.
ye, it is [*] ;_;

I agree when comparing to the Tab 2 7.0 and Tab 3 7.0. Having recently acquired a Tab 3 8.0, however, that device is definitely a step up - better specs, multi-window feature, etc. and very nearly the same overall footprint.

Too true!
I still use mine as my primary tablet. It still is better than those cheaper tablets out there (plus better than the Tab7.0 v2).

Anyway, is there any posibility for our tablet to get kitkat soon?

Oh yes of course, tab 3 8.0 is better, i think the tab 8.0 is the successor of 7.7. Just my opinion :victory:
Far from dead for me.
I still use it daily.
Use it for mail, calendar, tasks, timesheets, notetaking, calculator, banking, ...
Do the occasional gaming and ebook reading.
I hardly leave home without this device.
I love the 7" formfactor because it so easily stores away.
I don't think I will be trading it in any time soon. The quad core systems are mainly interesting for gaming.
The only thing that might sway me to another device is a higher resolution (interesting for some websites), but devices with better resolution are usually a lot more expensive.
Thanks to people who still believe in our tab
Some may think it is dead but I think if anybody wants this tablet not to die go hit the thanks button on this thread because as long as we have people developing we stay alive.

To me this makes me believe it still alive and well.
I have only had my tab for 14 months Still in warranty but i would like to see people who have this tab support people who are making stuff for us in there own free time (like devid801 ) and only ask for a simple thanks that uses a few seconds of our free time.
My biggest concern is shrinking inbuilt battery!

I'm running 4.4 Kit Kat on mine. Crazy this tablet still has development and people are still supporting it. So its not dead yet. It still has some life breathing in it.
