samsung galaxy centura

There are now two Roms for this phone I'm told over at aar 51. Just passing this along for people like me who have been looking for dev for this understated phone. \m/

Here is the link to android area51s ROM for the Samsung Galaxy centura. http://androidarea51.com/centura-root-cwm/(vip)(rom)(release)-arearom-centura-v1-0/

Here is a question. If I have a google account linked to the phone and I add another account let's just say facebook for example. Would linking the 2 accounts cause all of the facebook contacts to sync with my google account effectively merging them on the google account? I was just thinking...

Straight talk has interactive tutorials for all of the standard features the phone comes with. If you are trying to figure out how something works check this out first and you might find your answer. Samsung SCH-S738C Tutorials The tutorials will walk you through the actions once with a...

My wife and I both have a StraightTalk Galaxy Centura phone, and we are both unable to send text messages with images attached (I assume that is MMS). Receiving seems to be a problem, as well. I've tried it using both the stock Messaging app, as well as GoSMS. Anyone else have this issue, and...

So, I stumbled upon the button combo to take a screenshot on the centura while I was angrily fighting with the volume rocker. It is power+ vol. Down.

I'm not sure what the rules are on this but just passing it on to those that may be looking. There is a custom Rom and recovery for the Centura I won't mention the site but a quick search will turn it up. A member here was telling me that someone from this forum was working on one as well...

How do i sync contacts off fb to a samsung galaxy centura???

My compass app does not work on my Samsung Galaxy Centura. Does anyone know if the something is wrong with my smartphone? Thank you.

I only see the option to turn off predictive text, but nothing about autocorrect. When I turn predictive text off I lose all autocorrect and I'm stuck with my own horrible spelling and fat fingered typos. Can anybody help? Is it possible with this phone? Predictive text is so annoying, but I...

I can't attach a short video via messaging to send to another smart phone. I get a "message size limit reached" even though this video is only 5 seconds long. Video was taken by this phone. I can send videos to YouTube just fine. Anyone have this problem or a solution? Thanks

Hi everyone I'm new here, I am thinking of buying a Galaxy Centura and was wondering if it's possible to transfer apps to sd card from internal memory if so how is it done ?

I noticed when making calls my phone is disabling data completely while I am on a call. Is this normal? Sent from my SCH-S738C using Tapatalk 2

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Centura with prepaid Straight Talk service. The problem is my data connection is slower than what it should be. I get 3g with full signal in my area, and it downloads at an average of only 15kb/s. My previous phone through Straight Talk was a Samsung Galaxy...

How do i get the talk text to work???? It says its activated and I should see it on my keyboard...but i do not.....

I need someone to copy the font folder "/system/fonts" and pass a zip of it on to me. If you're wondering why I need it, here is why.. Not thinking, I played around with some system files a few days ago and messed up some things about my phone and I'm missing some fonts but don't know...

I'm amazed at the lack of cases, screen protectors, etc. for the Centura. Seems every Walmart sells the phone. Any suggestions ? I plan to carry it in my pocket so I guess a pouch, style and maybe a silicon cover on the back

I just received my Samsung Galaxy Centura in the mail yesterday, and I really like the phone. It seems to work quite well, and fit into my price point nicely. Unfortunately though, I seem to have a rather annoying problem. Randomly it seems, my clock will sometimes jump back in time six...

The camera app does not have any settings that i can select to choose the location of the storage. There are no settings in the device settings itself to choose default storage. It's automatically storing it to the internal storage!! Argh! Is it just android 4.0.4 that is the problem like the...

Well. Now that we have a stable root method is like to get right to work on getting cyanogenmod on the Centura. First we need an unlocked bootloader, and custom recovery. I will follow any instructions from a Dev and test anything. This phone is an excellent low-end model and has some potential.

Once your phone is rooted, do the following to remove the ugly Tracfone boot and shutdown animations (fairly simple) In /system/media append .old (rename) to the following files: Startup bootsamsung.qmg bootsamsungloop.qmg Shutdown / Power Off In /system/media/video/shutdown append .old...

Recovery Mode Turn phone off hold volume up button and press power button. Release power button after one second. Download Mode Turn phone off, hold volume down button and press power button. Release power button after one second.

Going to try some different rooting methods.

It’s a low-end device with specs that include an HVGA screen, 3-megapixel camera, 800MHz single-core processor, 4GB of internal memory, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 1500mAh battery and a microSD card slot(Up to 32G). It's Android 4.0 which is very nice! There is, however, no flash for the camera...

Now I hope I'm not the only one who just bought this puppy! :p
