TIP # 01 : Record Phone Calls & directly save into Memory Card

(Web Published Date : January 01, 2008)
You can record phone calls directly into memory card. Before start recording, Select "Menu/ Applications/ Voice Recorder/ Options/ Settings. Now adjust these settings:

Recording Time: 1 hour
Volume: 7
Default Storage: Memory Card

Press "Save".

Now, make a phone call. When call is connected, Select "Options/ Conv.Record". This will quickly start the recording. The person on other side can't find out that you are recording the conversation because there is NO indicating beep sound during recording. You can record phone calls upto 60 minutes long per file (as AMR audio format). Check the maximum file size on the right hand side of screen. It should be 1 hour long. After conversation, press "Save". Your recorded conversation will be saved in "Menu/ My Files/ Memory Card/ Sounds/ Voice-0001.amr". Next file will be automatically saved as "Voice-0002.amr" and so on.

Note: This is the same setting when you are going to record your own voice only as a VOICE MEMO. Go to "Menu/ Applications/ Voice Recorder and press "OK" center key (or press "Options/ Record"). Your voice memo will be recorded on memory card in same manner as phone calls.

TIP # 02 : Directly save VIDEOS & PHOTOS into Memory Card

(Web Published Date : December 28, 2007)
To select memory card as default storage medium for photos, Start the camera (press down navigation key on idle mode to start it) or Go to Menu/ Camera/ Take Photo. Now press Left Soft Key and select option # 7 (Camera Settings). Then goto Preferences/ Default Storage. There are 2 options available: Phone or Memory Card. Select "Memory Card" and press Save.

For Videos, Goto Menu/Camera/ Record Video. Now press Left Soft Key and select option # 5 (Camcorder Settings).Scroll down and You can see 2 options for Default Storage: Phone or Memory Card. Select "Memory Card" and press Save.

Now All your Photos and MP4 videos will be directly saved into your memory card. And maximum recording time for a video file is 60 minutes (It depends on available free space on memory card. If you have less space available on memory card, then the recording time will be less than this.)

TIP # 03 : File transfer through BLUETOOTH directly into Memory Card

(Web Published Date : December 05, 2007)
As you know that by default, all files transfers through bluetooth directly into phone's internal memory ( Exception is Windows based "BlueSoleil" software which allow you to save files into memory card from PC. For more info, read page # 08 of this pdf guide "Connect X700 with PC through Bluetooth" )
You will need to transfer files manually into memory card but you can directly transfer files into memory card through bluetooth by using this tip below:

Use available free memory space of your phone so that only few hundred KB space is free. Now try to send any file through bluetooth whose file size is larger than free available internal memory of your phone. Automatically Samsung E200 will display this pop-up message:

"Phone memory Full. Save to Memory Card? Yes or No."

Select "Yes" option. This will save file directly into memory card. All files will be saved into memory card's main directory. Suppose, If your phone's internal free memory is 3 MB and you are transferring 4MB sized file then you will see above pop-up message.

N.B : This TIP works with all Samsung mobiles with memory card & bluetooth support. I have checked this on E200/ X700/ D600/ E250 mobiles and it worked.

TIP # 04 : Retrieve emails from GMAIL and GAWAB on Samsung E200

(Web Published Date : January 14, 2008)
Since the email client of E200 doesn't support "SSL secure" connection, so you can't directly use your GMAIL account with email client of E200. Yes, i mean, you can indirectly use your GMAIL account with it by using GAWAB email account with E200 and forward all your GMAIL incoming mails to your new GAWAB account. So, by this simple method, you can receive incoming mails of your GMAIL & GAWAB simultaneously on your E200 mobile.

First of all, create a NEW email account on http://www.gawab.com. I think, "GAWAB" is the one and only free email service provider with POP3/ SMTP server facility which is fully supported by email client of Samsung E200. You will get 2GB online storage with a lot of great features.

When you have created your GAWAB account, just LOG OUT. Now, enter these settings into your E200 mobile:

Go to "Menu/ Messages/ Settings/ Emails/ Email Accounts/ Account Settings".
Create New one and Write these settings :

Account Name : Gawab
Select "Options/ Next".
User Name : ( Just write your name only like "Usman" , not your Gawab ID )
Email Address : Your Gawab Address (xyz@gawab.com)
Reply Address : Your Gawab Address (xyz@gawab.com)
Select "Options/ Next".
SMTP Server : smtp.gawab.com
SMTP Port : 25
SMTP User ID : Your Gawab Full Address (xyz@gawab.com)
SMTP Password : Your Gawab account Password
Retrieve Server Type : POP3
POP3 Server : pop.gawab.com
POP3 Port : 110
Same ID and Password: Keep it Checked
APOP login : Keep it Unchecked
Select "Options/ Save".

Now go Back and check current account as "Gawab". Go back and select "Email Profiles/ Profile Settings" and select "Profile 1". ( Note: these are only applicable with my service provider "Mobilink Jazz". For your own service, please contact your service provider )

Profile Name : Jazz Connect
APN : jazzconnect.mobilinkworld.com
Login ID : ( Keep Blank )
Password : ( Keep Blank )
DNS1: 0.0.0.0
DNS2 : 0.0.0.0
Select "Save".

Check Current profile as "Jazz Connect". Go to "Receiving Options" and select:

Retrieve option : Entire Message
Delete Option: During Next Connection
Download Limit: Unlimited
Keep in Server: Checked
Select "Save".

Now go to "My messages/ Email Box/ Check New Mail". You will retrieve your Gawab emails. You can forward all incoming emails of your old Gmail account to new Gawab inbox. Just take these simple steps:

1.Log-in to your Gmail account from PC.

2.Click "Settings" at the top of Gmail page.

3.Click "Forwarding and POP/ IMAP" in the orange Mail Settings box.

4. On "Forwarding" section, select "Forward a copy of incoming mail to". Write down your "GAWAB email address" in the textbox and select "Keep Gmail's copy in the inbox".

5. Click "Save Changes" ... A message will appear that "Your preferences have been saved". Now, Log Out from your account.

Now, whenever a new email arrives in your Gmail's inbox, it's one copy will automatically be sent to your Gawab inbox. So, Now, you can retrieve emails from your both accounts (Gmail and Gawab) at the same time on your Samsung E200 mobile.

TIP # 05 : Install GMAIL freeware software on your E200

(Web Published Date : January 14, 2008)
You can install GMAIL software on your mobile to access your Gmail folders like Inbox, Sent Mail, Contacts, Spam, Trash, Settings etc. Just go to http://mobile.google.com from your mobile's WAP browser. Then goto "Gmail (Download)" link. You will see this link: "Download Gmail" (version v 1.5.0.1187). This is current version. Just press "OK" key. This will install "GMAIL" software into your E200.
