Samsun SCH-u620 Alarm Repair
by Shireen Eddings on Nov 27th, 2007 at 10:42 AM:
I have had this phone start ringing at midnight too. I took a copy of these reviews and finally got a Verizon manager to listen and search out the "patch" repair. He said it was repaired on phones after August and but mine still had the old software. He thought the sound issue - "like talking in a barrel" - wouldn't happen but it has. But the repair takes care of several things. Here is their "equipment software alert" in case someone doesn't believe you, like the tech and sales rep didn't believe me.:
EQUIPMENT SOFTWARE ALERT VERIZON wireless

Samsung u620 - New Software AE25
Concern Samsun has released new software for the u620.
This software includes running changes from the previous version. This upgrade includes fixes for the flowing issues:
- Resolve issues with Denso Bluetooth car kits
- Fix issue with VZNavigator message pop up notification
- Fix issue where Calendar shows "January 1896" and alarm goes off every night at midnight
- Resolve reports that after downloading back up assistant and syncing contacts, that if the user power cycles the device the contacts are gone
- Fix issue where inactivated device emits a fast busy tone after powering up in some 1X only service markets
- Resolve issue where user would get and incoming call, switches over, but the incoming call cannot be unmuted.
The phone should have software number: V.u620.AE25 (new - with the repairing done) If you have these problems you possibly have V.u620.2L14 (maybe it is a Z instead of number 2 on his note.) The old software. To check your phone go to:
- Menu (OK)
5. Settings & Tools (OK)
9. Phone Info (OK)
2. SW Version
V.u620.AE25 (the OLD software)
V.u620.2L14 (new software) (the 2 may be a Z)
They saved all my data and pictures and reprogrammed my phone. But I do have my voice coming through my ear loud. I will go after the weekend and address that. They gave me this info to pass on. Hope it helps someone.
Great phone

I like the phone. I would recomend this to anyone who is thinking about buying it! The only thing that i wouldn't do it put events on your phone. Also the battery life isnt the greatest. Other than that it is a great phone!
calendar for Jan 6, 1886

I've had this phone since the middle of the summer and I loved it until it started going off every night at midnight. I am now on my second phone due to this problem. I finally asked a Verizon Tech and they installed a service patch and it no longer goes off. So it is possible to fix it, however, after the calendar thing had been fixed the micro phone is jacked up. When I talk on the phone it sounds like I am in a barrel but other people can hear me just fine. The company is sending me a new phone making this my 3rd of this phone. If you want this phone remember NEVER use the calendar if you do and you have to get the service patch installed be careful it could damage the phone even more!
