ok so iv had my phone for almst a year now and its ok. im not crazy about it. i think its kind of bulky and i seem to lose service and drop calls all the time. but what im wondering is, is there anyway i can change the color theme? im rly tired of the boring black and blue. a pro thats amazing is that this phone is the most durable phone iv ever had. i have thrown, kicked, stepped on, dropped and punted this phone and its not broken, sure its scratched but its not broken at all. i like it. but if some1 could answer my question id rly appreciate it. thanks!

For those of you still in school like I am, then perhaps the battery like is horrid because you use it in school. I have noticed that when my phone is on, not even texting, but just on in school, the battery is depleted much faster.

this phone is amazing i never want to get a new one lol. the only problem i have is when it vibrates twice when u get a text or when it’s dying and it’s super loud. i got in trouble once in class because the battery was dying so it kept vibrating. it’s so worth it though.

I can’t make my propel ring very loud. I have tried both the default ring tones and have edited my own to put in. The default ring tones sound very loud when I sample them but when I save them and test them, they aren’t very loud. I have saved the settings for full volume (7 is the top of the scale) and have tried vibe and ring, just ring etc.. Nothing plays back nearly as loud as when it is sampled. Has anyone else experienced this?

So my Propel is like, killing me. I got it exactly a year ago on valentines day, and about six months after I bought it the arrow keys, menu key, and option key completely stopped working. I didn’t have insurance on it, so I couldn’t take it back. I’m trying to take it apart now, six months after it stops working, and see if maybe its the wiring that’s messed up. The little water square thing that tells you if it got wet or not is only wet on the edges, because I was cleaning the dust off the inside with a wet q-tip. I really love my phone, and all my stuff is still on it. I would really love it if you could tell me how to fix it. Thankss(:

I recently bought this phone from a friend that switched service providers. I am liking it so far with a few things that i wish were different. Texting: wish this phone had conversation mode to store messages.
- i put my sd memory card in the slot, and it brings up the memory card icon on the top of the screen, but it won’t let me use my memory card. any help?!!
i think that is the only problems i can think of right now.
Thanks in advance for anyones help.

How do I access my Sim card?
It says that it’s full, but I would like to know what’s on it besides my contacts. I have looked everywhere, but can’t seem to find that option.

Thank you!

I use the alarms everyday for school pickups. I want to use my downloaded ring tones for these alarms but it only gives me the option for the horrible preloaded tones (or music my niece “bluetoothed” over). Has anyone discovered a way to use your downloads for alarms? Thank you!

I’ve had this phone for a while, but..I’ve been wondering- where it is a slider phone, could it be easy to break? Like, would the slider get weak and then eventually break off or something? I know, that’s probably a ridiculous question…but for some reason it always seems loose or something? So, I was just curious. Other than that concern, I love this phone. (:

My previous cellphone had an “auto-complete” feature when texting that I liked. It “learned” the words I commonly used and would suggest them as I typed. Is there a way to enable this on the Samsung Propel? The only auto-complete feature I can see is when it adds a period when I type 2 spaces, which I find annoying — is there a way to turn that off?

Is there any way to turn off the keyboard sounds when texting and not put your phone on silent? If anyone has a clue, please let me know. I love the Propel, except for the annoying texting tones.
