Can anyone tell me if this phone has problems with "pocket dialing" like the Samsung s390g Tracfone?

Did you check in Phone Settings > Location > Location on or 911 only. Mine is on 911 only and Auto Key Lock is off and never had a problem with pocket dialing.

Mine pocket dialed 911 so many times, i got another phone after the police showed up at my work because the stupid phone pocket dialed them again, i was sooo embarassed! Even with the keyboard locked it still dialed 911. And the reception was horrible...

My 390g pocket dials even when locked. I just got another call from the police tonite asking if I was ok. The only difference is how you dial emergency services. When unlocked it will only recognize 911, however in locked mode 000 will dial them. There are also other number combos that will work. I am looking for another phone because I am not going to chance this 911 thing. So I will most likely look at another brand.

You can set it up so that the keyboard locks automatically, which I've done, & haven't had any problems with pocket dialing.

No issues, Only comments I can say is that while driving it is hard to make calls. But I shouldn't call while driving anyhow. The phone is discontinued, if you can find one is is a fantastic keyboard phone.

So there is a trend here. I even changed the APN, but no luck. My phone was also from Samsung Australia. Someone reading from BrightPoint or Amazon should take a look. May be that whole batch of phone has defective 3G radios or something like that. Also, in spite of checking for updates dozens of times, the ICS version was stuck to 4.0.1, whereas I read that lot of people are on 4.0.4

This is another issue I just found out; the frequency range for this phone is 2100 mhz; so most carriers in America use the 1900 mhz range or below; so, this phone is not able to access 3G or 4G. I couldnt access 3G either; a friend of mine looked at it and found the frequency range. Another thing; yesterday the phone fall down from about a meter high; wasnt that high, the cristal screen totaly broke; since I live in Central America, theres no place to repair it. I owned before a Samsung Galaxy S3 and had some very hard falls and never happened to me. There went my 200 dollars. Take care of it, for the months that I had it, I mostly used it only with Wifi.

I have a Samsung U640......Yep ...Still rockin the old style flip phone ! I have never had any issue with it dialing itself or any other sort of self activation while it is in this case.

My son bought this phone and pays the monthly bill. I have no idea about the specifics but I do know that he has had no problems with it. Thanks and I hope this helps.

Yes...but with experience with this phone...I would suggest u look into a newer model.this 1st Gen galaxy had a phantom button press that I believed to be factory issue.unless u root n install custom rom...u may be able to correct issue some.i personally enjoyed this model as my first android product...it'll open the doorway to modern smartphones and their capabilities if u let it.

I do not have a problem with pocket dialing, because phone is automatically locked until you slide it up. I don't think you can get text tones, but have not tried that i know that you can download ringbacks.

In regard to Tracfone T301G, whenever one purchases this phone that offers "Unlimited Triple Minutes", your purchases for all future minutes will be tripled for the life of the phone. Example: Buy a 30 Minute Card, the system will credit your phone with 90 minutes of talk time. Only affects talk time. It does not triple your service days. A great deal!

I don't know anything about the bad reviews. Mine works fine. I have a pulse dial line even though my phones will do both(pulse and tone) if you follow directions for installationyou should have no problem. when ever the telebouncer answers you pick up the phone to talk sometimes the recording may not respond right away when you start to speak.The recording is suppose to turn off when it hears a voice. This is the only thing that may not work right all the time. This is a minor problem .That is the only problem I have had and ninety five percent of the time this works also.

Sorry Judith but I don't have that phone anymore because it lost service so I upgraded to the LG 500G,but you can go to Tracfone.com and register your phone and it has a tutorial that will show you what you want to know.

They are the same for features, except the s380c is made for the cdma networks & the s390g is for gsm networks...Gsm typically works best in the city and along major interstate highways. Cdma does all that with better receptionin rural areas too. Cdma service usually costs more than gsm sevice... but, not with tracfone. (Snag one before they are gone!) I would recommend getting the s380c as long as tracfone is still selling them and the price is the same.

I bought mine at a Walmart in my local area, so it's possible this model number could be different. The full number is: TFALA392GDMP4-5 It's coded as follows: TF is tracfone...ALA is alacatel...392 is model number G is for gsm network...DM is double minutes...P4 is AT&T wireless carrier....-5 indicates it may also use T-mobile.

We use Straight Talk which is Tracfone so YES it works with that provider. Suggest using Google Chrome if you surf the internet using the network. For some reason we couldn't get the Android browser to work. It likes Google buf doesn't like the Andriod version. Anyway...good luck.

I do not know. Best answer is to ask TracFone/Net10 on their webpage. I never had a battery problem with this phone, but I did have mine totally blank out and become unusable. I now went back to the actual TracFone brand/carrier and have nothing but good things to say about the triple minutes and phones they offer.

we haven't had any problems with the phone itself except for a dead spot on the screen. We had it activated through straight talk. I hope this answered your question
