GPS, email, certain apps, and various other features drain battery, not to mention, pressing the top button to check time and notification icons activates the screen... 36 hours is pretty good assuming you are using the phone with other than stock (came with the phone) apps and set it up with things like email and facebook (which actively refreshes/updates using battery life). 14 days seems a bit mythical for common uses.
However, there are battery saving apps you can obtain from the "market".

Assuming you have an SD card, in the message, hold your finger on the picture, and select "copy attached to SD card".
This action will save it to SD card.

Wow! What kind of of cop out was that first answer!!! In order to delete folders from your gallery that were synced to your phone through facebook or picasa, it's simple. All you have to do is go into settings ---> accounts&sync ---> then choose your desired option from either "General sync settings" OR "Manage accounts" (to individually turn off sync in ur various accounts.) Hope this will be helpful to someone.

Theoretically speaking, if function overrules your desire to have a warrantee on your phone...
Rooting your phone voids the warrantee, but it would allow you to load an app to make you superuser, and then load another app to remove and backup (to sd and render unusable in backup form) preloaded programs like youtube, facebook and latin support. Disable updates to apps like maps after the first update... many other things you can do to prevent clutter. Clear application cache is a must!
There are other apps out there that will allow to be stored on the SD card other than the stock ones. For example, fbx for facebook. Widgets won't work from SD card.
I've heard about partitioning the SD card so the phone uses it as internal memory as well.
If nothing else, disable updates and clear cache.

I have the Bar Code 4.0 app on my phone. It took a little getting used to, but it will work. You have to have the bar code completely in the rectangle on your screen, it has to be in focus, and you have to hold your phone really steady. If you are not on a wi fi network, but using 3G at the time it takes a little longer for it to scan.

Hi there!

Thank you for your inquiry. All you need to do is to set the phone to Mass Storage by using a compatible USB data cable and a memory card inserted on the device for it to be recognized by your computer. If you wish to continue, follow the steps below.

STEPS:

> Ensure that the Memory Card is properly inserted into the device

NOTE: FOR Windows Vista/XP/7 OPERATING SYSTEM

>Make sure that USB debugging is unchecked:

• Select Menu
• Applications
• Select Settings
• Development
• Uncheck all three options (USB debugging, Allow mock location, Stay Awake)

*Connect the USB data cable to the device and a laptop or PC

(on the phone itself):

*Select Mass Storage
* After the USB icon appears in the Notification Drawer, pull it down
* Select USB Connected
* Select Mount

> On the PC, navigate to the Removable Disk assigned to the device. This can be done through the automatic pop up screen or ‘My Computer.

If these steps won’t work, try to check this stuff….

o Try using a different USB port
o Restart the PC and soft reset the phone
o Make sure that the USB cable is Samsung genuine accessory
o Try to check the removable storage through the "My Computer"
