Q. Okay so I have a Samsung Fascinate Galaxy S (the white one? If that makes a difference lol) Anyways my soft keys stopped working, ya know the home, menu, back, and search, well I sent a message to Samsung asking how I should try and fix this. My phone is NOT activated I use it through Wifi to try and keep in touch with my family in case I go into labor, and need help being as I'm 36 weeks pregnant. Anyways, Samsung got back to me and they told me I should try taking the battery out for 30 seconds and if that doesn't work they told me to go to the Android System Recovery menu and wipe cache partition. Little did I know you have to be able to use the home button as the "OK" button, and since my soft keys don't work, guess what? I'm now stuck on the Android System Recovery menu, and have no idea how to fix it! Samsung told me I could send it in and if they found anything wrong with it I could get it repaired with a fee...I don't have the extra money to do this right now being as I'm getting ready to be a single mommy, with no help and no job, because some employers are assholes to pregnant women, and I'm having to buy things for my little one that she is going to need when she comes! Now I really need to get this phone working again because I have no way to get a hold of family members in case I need help, and I can't afford a new phone..Does anyone have any ideas how I can get off this stupid system recovery menu? I've tried taking the battery out and everything. I'm not that great with "Smart" phones so I don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing. Any advice would be great, and please don't be a jerk about it.
Well...It's a little late to fix the paragraph problem..So I'm sorry? I just want to fix my phone?
Thanks Ricky. I guess it's a hardware problem being as I don't have a case on it :/. Thanks for the help though greatly appreciated.
A. If possible download KIES on your computer and restore the firmware using that however it sounds like a potential hardware fault than software. Maybe try cleaning the softkeys as they may have just gotten dirty from continuous use (unless they are on screen rather than part of the phone case in which case could be software). That's all I have, hope one of these solutions help

samsung fascinate opinion?
Q. Hi guys. I have an update coming up in a few days. I want to get a Samsung fascinate but I see mixed reviews. I know it's two years old, but I really like the model (the way it looks), more so than the droid smartphones. Does anyone have that phone? Any problems with it? Thanks.
A. If you don't need the top of the line specs like a dual core processor or 4G, then it's still a solid smartphone. It's still great for surfing the internet, texting, phone calls, and apps... it just won't be the top dog in multitasking and video games.
Personally, those are things I can sacrifice in terms of a good looking phone. I feel the same way about the Samsung Captivate on the AT&T. The Samsung Galaxy S phones are gorgeous.
The only problem you should have is when the major updates like Android OS upgrades come to play. You can probably handle the next major upgrade just fine, but later on they will start to lag your phone. And the cons of Samsung phones (in this case perk for you) is that the major upgrades are always delayed, so your Samsung Fascinate should satisfy you until your next smartphone upgrade. You can google the whole Samsung Galaxy and delayed Android Froyo debacle.
The next Samsung phone will be the Nexus Prime (which will be the king of Androids because of its first dibs on Android upgrades and top of the line specs), but there isn't any pictures for how it will look yet and it isn't available until the end of next month. And sadly, the next line of premium Samsung Galaxy phones, the Samsung Galaxy S2 phones won't come to Verizon (They passed it up because they believe they have an already good arsenal of smartphones).
I would say go for it because if you get another phone that you don't really want, you'll end up regretting it and always playing the whole "what if I got the Samsung Fascinate" game. I did that with the T-Mobile G2, and I ended up buying the G2 later on off Ebay. I have been happy with it since then.
If you want a new Samsung Fascinate, Bestbuy still offers them (and for free too).

Verizon offers it for $39.99 but it comes refurbished (meaning someone else has used it before you).
You will love the Samsung Fascinate. I'm still using a G2 which is around the same age as your Samsung Fascinate, and it performs great. Enjoy your new smartphone!
