My Instinct also FREEZES all the time. I try to delete a message, and have to wait at least 45 seconds before it stops the freeze and does the job.
Or, there are times when pressing delete does NOTHING.
Or, there are times when it says I have a new message, need to slide it up to listen to it, and it WON’T slide.
Or when it takes HOURS for voice messages to show up.
THE INSTINCT SUCKS.
I love my instinct, but all of a sudden, it stopped vibrating…
the bolt browser is a nice alternative.
go to “my account” then select “my content manager” then dowloads then messaging then im and email then select instant messagin
There is not a flash player for any cellphones other than phones that use windows. If you want porn that bad download some and put them on the instinct to watch
as I sit here looking for help .. and push the phone across me desk…. hoping it will fall in the garbage …its frozen again…..this time I think its for good….. as I have tried to re-boot it about a dozen times.. in an hour.. I give up back to the phone company I go tomorrow… dont know what to expect.. not much the biggest phone mistake I have ever made.
it’s not about the porn… it’s about Hulu.com and family guy. You cant view it without a flash player.
Instand messaging isnt working…AGAIN!!!! telus naturally sucks but 75 bucks to get a loner phone because samsung instinct sucks shouldnt be my burden! I cant even get INTO my messaging to delete my messages to make more room…P.O.S
My media player on my instinct s30 doesn’t detect any mp3 songs on the memory card, even though I’ve checked the memory card on my computer and my files are still there. But at least it still detects my pictures.
I love my instinct. I’m with Bell Mobility.
