The Samsung A157 is a calmshell cellphone, take a look at the picture on the left, it is a basic phone for daily use, a 1.77 inch 262K TFT screen, Samsung Traditional UI and 256MB intermal memory are almost all the phone can provide. But it is a 3G phone, this means you can enjoy AT&T’s 3G network without a contract.

Samsung A157 is designed for schools, as it is a gophone, you can total control over what you pay, and I think most of you would choose the unlimited calling and texting plan. So, this is also a good phone for family plan. Once you are tired of this feature phone, it is very convenient to switch to a smartphone.

By the way, here is the user manual pdf download link (ATT_A157_English_User_Manual_LC4_F5.pdf), just in case you might want to look for something in setting the Samsung A157.

As early as 29 last month, some Samsung Galaxy Nexus users reported that their phones couldn’t connect to the 3G network, and there is no solution then. Quickly, Sprint made its announcement that they were testing a software update to have the problem fixed as fast as possible. I thought it would at least take about one week to solve the problem, but only two days later, the FD02 (the first OTA update since the phone was released) was released.

This FD02 software update not only fix the 3G data issue, but also update the Google Wallet on the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. This software update will take 1-2 days to arrive to your handset, so, if you still didn’t receive the OTA software update notification message, don’t worry, as every software update take stages to complete.

Maybe new problems emerges while the old problem be solved, so, if you find anything wrong on your Samsung Galaxy Nexus, please don’t hesitate to tell us here.
