2.0 out of 5 stars Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 3.6 - Volume bug 12 May 2012

By A. O. Sanchez

Size Name:8GB

This little media player seems to have a firmware/software issue that seriously limits its usefulness.

I bought one of these units as I had recently "lost" my ipod touch 4th generation in a coffee-shop (don't ever leave your shoulder bag hanging from your chair's back as you chat with your friends...) To help me recover from my intense grief and despair I decided to give the Android system a shot trying this entry-level model as they had it at Currys for a measly 99.99 pounds if you ordered it online.

The problem is that, as another reviewer indicated, the volume won't go up beyond level 17 or so, within an interval ranging from 0 to 30, as shown on the screen's volume bar.

When trying to raise the volume up, the bar does actually go up, but the volume itself stays the same from level 17 upwards. This may sometimes be enough if you use it primarily at home, and listen to loud music like rock or dance where the recorded baseline volume is rather high anyway. But as soon as you take the player to the street, or you plug powerful headphones to it, or try to listen to music with some wider dynamic range and lower baseline volume than the typical loud pop hit, then you will not hear the music properly. Not nearly loud enough.

Beware before purchasing, as this seems to affect many -if not all- of the units. After encountering the problem I visited two retailers that had this model on display, and when I plugged my headphones in and tried the player out, they both exhibited the very same problem.

I called Samsung's customer support line 4 times, and none of the agents I spoke to could help with the issue. I checked for firmware upgrades but the player had the latest version installed. I finally decided to get a full refund from the store where I bought it from (Curry's PcWorld).

This is such a pity, since I was really happy with the device in every other respect.

The screen's resolution is comparatively low, but still rather usable for occasional web browsing, emailing, news and weather apps and all of the goodies that the Android system provides. Aside from as a music player, I had planned to use it as a personal digital assistant, and I was quite well impressed at how usable this thing was.

The screen felt really responsive and accurate, and the player performance was really snappy, thanks probably to the fact that the processor only had to cope with that low-res screen. I was also impressed at how easy typing felt on it. I'd say it compared favorably against my old ipod for typing and day-to-day productivity apps such as note-taking, to-do lists, emailing, etc.

Web browsing was more difficult and slow than on the ipod though. And I wouldn't use this to read extensively through apps such as Kindle, although I wouldn't use the ipod for that task either, as high as its resolution may be. These screens are too small for that anyway.

On the other hand, all of the Android apps that I downloaded and tried worked like a breeze, as did adding widgets to the screen, or customizing the desktop, adding folders and tweaking the device to my heart's content.

The device's size was perfect for my needs, as a take-everywhere music player and personal digital assistant, that is inconspicuous and easy to handle.

The best of all was how easy it was to manage you music files. You just drag and drop files from your computer to the unit and the job is done. Dispensing with itunes was a dream come true. And, of course, you can add microSD cards (up to 32GB cards according to Samsung, but many have reported that even 64GB cards seem to work fine on all galaxy wifi units).

The in-built radio was really handy too.

It is worth mentioning that my backed-up music library that I had built using itunes I could move very easily to the player (drag and drop with the computer's explorer) and not only did the Galaxy player get every single tag, and the albums organisation right, but it also displayed all the album artworks that I had painstakingly been adding to the every CD I ripped by using itunes. It was a joyful discovery to see that I had not been wasting my time for the last couple of years.

The sound quality was significantly better than that of my lost ipod, thanks in no small part to the installation of a third-party app called PowerAmp.

Even the battery life was impressive bettering that of my lost ipod hands down.

On a final note, considering that this player can be found for as little as 100.00 pounds and a 32GB microSD card for less than 15.00 pounds, this model could be a real bargain.

I so loved this little player that before venturing to buy the 4.0 or 5.0 versions, I'm going to wait and see if someone reports finding a solution for the volume issue, or any official or unofficial firmware revision comes up. Besides, the bigger brothers of the 3.6 may be too large for me, and their performance in day-to-day tasks may not be as snappy due to their high-res screens requiring more processing power.

Please Samsung, fix the volume issue. This device is potentially the best music player I have ever used, by a large margin.

Thanks for reading.

Cheers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money 13 Mar 2012

By John Morgan

Size Name:16GB

I had a microsoft mp3 player but after several new ones which all broke I decided to look for something better. I didnt want a smart phone so i had to look for something with plenty of memory and a bitmore than the run of the mill available.
I chose this and I am well impressed. No trouble with any type of music file. Drag and drop every time. No conflicts and with an expanded memory this stores all my music and I still have 20gb left to increase my collection.
The wireless features are first rate with no connection problems at all.
I am not a techy person so it did take some figuring out. That is the only area I found lacking was a set of decent instructions.
Otherwise this is perfect for the music conscious.
I bought a pair of sennheiser ear phones and a set of ear bud types at the same time. The ones supplied were good, but i prefer the sennheiser myself.
I really cant think of any area I have found lacking, its an excellent peice of kit, even if it does cost nearly �190 its well worth the money.
Regarding the above issue, I cant say mine has the same problem so it may be a one off I dont know, anyway great little mp3 player.

4.0 out of 5 stars nice! 4 Feb 2012

By D. N. Z. AQUINO

Size Name:16GB

great little android media player. was going to pick up the bigger 5inch but thought, for portability reasons, way too big. it has a good wifi signal, browsing the web is very good and downloading apps is a breeze. playing music is a pleasure as there are a ton of options like eq settings, bass boast, treble boost, venue simulator(?), plus it has a speaker at the back which is always handy. on video playback i can only comment on youtube videos which are very clear.
the screen is a bit of a smudge magnet, but not really noticeable when its turned on, and at the time of writing this i have not found any cases or screen protectors made for this device...so probably buy a pouch.

my only gripe is the video and camera which aren't that good, which at 2MP is a little low, BUT it is useable.
i like that you can upgrade the storage with micro sd cards and copy apps onto them. unlike the 5.0 which has a built in battery, the 3.6 is replaceable making ideal for longer journeys if you got another charged battery about. also unlike the other versions this comes with the newest version of gingerbread.

****update**** 9.2.12
i have noticed a issue with the music player...(with earphones inserted only!)
when playing a song, at say volume level 17, the NEXT song to play will be at volume level 17(obviously) BUT if you turn the volume up it will not change past level 20 (max is 30). it is only when you turn it to up to max (30) THEN press pause and then play again will you be able to adjust the volume.

if you have the volume at max (30) in the first place the NEXT song will be at max and so forth, and thus no problem....
