Looking for Answers about samsung SPH-D710?

Hello and thank you for reaching out!

So sorry you are frustrated! Unfortunately, I also do not see a configurable option to turn on audible or vibrating notifications while on a phone call. You might want to explore the Play Store for 3rd party applications or options that allow such notifications.

Thanks and have a great day!

Because Samsung "radios" are weak. There are obvious problems with the Epic Touch at the latest update last week was supposed to fix them. Unfortunately it didn't and most are still experiencing the "LOS" (Loss of Signal) issues with their devices. Since Samsung is pretty terrible at responding to these types of things, don't expect a fix anytime soon. Just lots of finger pointing....like they are already doing on this Q&A...."call your provider", "it's a provider issue", etc...etc....baloney.

Comparing signal bar levels between two different cell phone manufactures is not valid, even sometimes between different models of the same brand. The algorithms that calculates the number if signal bars displayed varies between different phone models even different software version of the same phone. The best way to compare phone performance is to look directly at the signal level in dBm. This is normally a negative number so a -70 is much stronger than a -90. To check this in Samsung Android go to settings-> about phone -> Status -> scroll down to signal strength. This will provide a direct comparison of the phones radio frequency sensitivity. Keep in mind there is another factor of network performance that is also used to calculate how many signal bars are shown, signal to noise level. Both RF level and signal to noise level together calculate the number of bars on most phones.

The antenna on this phone is great...maybe check to make sure you have the right sim card for that phone or that your carrier has your correct phone on your account, sometimes this will affect your connection to the network as well. Just a couple ideas...hope this helps.

I have read that the charger that comes with the device has this issue, and that other wall chargers work fine. I haven't seen it personally, so it may be hit-or-miss.

I am using the charger that came with the phone and have not had any issues. I have used my S2 numerous times while charging. Both using a wall outlet and USB plugged into my computer. No issues.

Thanks for your question!

Regarding your concern, I have passed this info on for evaluation and appreciate you bringing this to our attention! You may want to try a soft reset on the phone by powering it off and removing the battery then placing it back again to reboot the handset.

Thanks and have a great day!

As long as I use the charger that comes with the phone all is fine.
If I use another charger that does not fit as good it starts doing this.

I'm not sure if this is correct but, when viewing the photo, touch and hold.

Touch and hold.

Press and hold

In most cases you long press (press and hold) the image loaded on your device and the option to save it should appear. If this option does not appear it might not be loaded although displayed inside of the app you are running, if that's the case, tap the image once and then perform the long press solution. Enjoy.

Thank you for your continued interest in Samsung products.

The drivers are here: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201109/20110916042342248/Sprint_d710_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0.exe

I got this link from Samsung tech support. The tech told me that it wouldn't work on Win7 x64 (she said Win7 32-bit is supported), but in fact, it works PERFECTLY on my 64-bit OS.

Don't feel bad if Kies doesn't work. I have to reinstall everything to get it to work on my computer for my phone, and it won't connect at all for my wife's phone/laptop. It's a junky piece of software. In Europe there are two other products which Samsung offers that appear to do the same thing. maybe better. I'm looking forward to a version of Kies that actually *WORKS*.

Go here to download the driver software:

Go to Samsung's website for your phone and use the support. It has driver downloads.

An app called DoubleTwist will do for android that iTunes does for iOS devices syncing android with your computer (music and more). Check it out in Google play.

Turn the phone over. On the back at the top, you should see a thin opening. Using that as help, pull the back of the cover off. You should see a slot for the micro SD card. Press against the side of the card until you hear a click. Pull it out and replace.

Remove the back cover to your phone, Directly above your battery and to the right you will see a small silver plate with a printed inscription next to it which says micro sd. If you already have a card installed you will see the edge of it protruding out ward from the slot. Carefully useing your fingernail push in on the edge of the existing sd card to the left and then slowly release. Now remove the sd card. If you are installing a new sd card/larger storage capacity just reverse the steps previously mentioned here. Goodluck.

You can use the myfiles app to copy files back and forth between the sdcard and the phone.

Thank you for your inquiry.

Regarding your concern, there is no need to install any software on the computer for you to connect the handset with your PC. All you need to have is a memory card inside the handset and a data cable then set the phone to mass storage.

To connect the phone to the computer, please follow the steps below:
Pull out and up the memory card slot cover
Insert the formatted microSD card into the memory card slot
Connect the USB data cable to both the handset and the USB port on the PC
If Select USB Mode appears on the display press the clear key to return to the standby screen OR if the MTP Connect to the PC... appears on the display, press OK then with Yes highlighted press OK to disconnect from the PC
From the standby screen, press OK for Menu
Select Settings & Tools
Select Tools
Select USB Mass Storage
From the PC, double click on the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop
Double click on the newly created drive letter (which may appear as an icon or text, depending on your View settings)
Double click on the folder to view the contents
Copy and paste or drag n drop the files to/from the destination on the PC
From the handset, press OK for Disconnect
With Yes highlighted, press OK then remove the USB data cable from both the handset and PC

You can see if the application will allow you to uninstall updates through the settings menu otherwise your stuck with it.

Hi!

Sorry but adjusting the bottom icons is not a current available option. Check back soon for updates.

Feel free to ask us anything on Twitter @GalaxySsupport or @samsungservice for speedy responses in the U.S.

Thanks and have a great day!

I'm assuming that you are talking about the 4 icons in the dock at the bottom of the screen. Go into Applications. Hit the Menu capacitive button, select View Type, select Customizable Grid. Hit the Menu capacitive button, select Edit. Drag and drop application icons as you please. You can have anywhere from 1-4 icons in the dock. You cannot remove the Home/Applications icon. When finished press Menu, then Save or just hit the back button. You can set the view type back to alphabetical grid or list if you like.

Yes. On the home screen, press the Applications icon, then while in the App-Drawer, long press on the lower buttons and drag them out of the home-row. You can replace all but the "Home" button.

Micro SD(HC) and up to 32Gb.

No
