Samsung Cleo

I know a few people with a cleo and they have to slam the phone closed or it will not realize the phone is closed and continue to stay lit. Apparently the switch in the phone is not that well built. Also, the phone has some SW bugs: If a text is received while composing a message the message sometimes is sent to the drafts folder, but sometimes lost entirely. At best it is a real pain if you have needy friends that bombard you with multiple subjects at a time instead of just using their voice. We also learned painfully that if you ask to have the contacts from another phone added from another phone, your previous contacts will be lost. Apparently this phone defaults to erasing your old contacts.

this is how you would reset your phone, be careful if doing it as the one reset will delete everything and the other will not:Phone Security 107 Default Setting Resetting the phone restores all the factory defaults, including the ringer types and display settings.

My Cleo is constantly will turn on, flash the samsung loading bar, the bar will fill, itll go to that swirly blue thing for samsung, turn black, and repeat the whole thing over and over again it WONT STOP. I can't get it on to do anything else so I can't get it to turn on to try and reset everything. Anyway, is there some sort of reset button somewhere??

OMG. same!! my cleo does that same exact thing, so when i went to the place i bought it from they told me that it was damaged and that you would have to buy a new phone, but i forgot to ask them if there was a reset button. but either way i dont think that theres a reset button...

here is how to fix that:Locking/Unlocking Your PhoneBook You can lock your phonebook so that contacts cannot be added, edited, or deleted. To lock/unlock voice calls: 1. Press for Menu. 2. Select Settings > More.... 3. Select Restrict and Lock. 4. Select Voice. 5. Enter your lock code. 6. Select Restrict. 7. Select Lock PhoneBook. 8. Using the navigation key, select On or Off, and press . MENU OK MENU OK

This is not a reply this is a question. I have a Samsung Cleo and I can't get the vibrate mode to go off on my phone. I have followed the instructions in the manual and still it comes back on even if I have shut it off and turne it back on. Can someone help me please,this is becoming annoying.

I just got the new cleo and I cannot change the outer sreen. I followed Devilsown's instructions from March 22nd, but when I assign a image I get the replyplease assign screensaver first The screen saver is applied. What now?

Or you can grab the manual from this site also. Go here:https://www.cellphones.ca/cell-phones/samsung-cleo-u440/ (https://www.cellphones.ca/cell-phones/samsung-cleo-u440/)And then click download manual under the phone image.

and a master reset resets all the settings in the phone, alot of phones will let you wipe the device or just put it back to the default look.

i dont know why but when i try to add or edit a contact it says restriction: contacts entry restricted whyyyy :( ? someone help?! please :)

Go to your phone's Music Player. The Music Player gives you the ability to listen to audio clips from your memory card.

The phone has as known issue of turning off or restarting by itself and I understand that this can really be frustrating. A software upgrade would hopefully solve this issue.
