  • i m buying it is this is a androd phone......??anyone told me....!!

  • I have had this same phone.... i broght it with huge price but there was not function line other OS has.... compair to other OS BADA OS is very dead.... if you want any suggestion... i will suggest sell your BADA base phone... it complitly dead technology phone now date... ppl who crazy abt apps would definatly hate this phone..... I sold it to very low cost.... very bad coz it is not value for money product.... go for Android or I OS

  • For all those who want to update their phones to bada2.0 i wud say just dont go for it. Bada1.2 is much better. Bada2.0 suffers from degraded camera quality & multishot feature. The battery consumption is also a bit high. All the settings have been put under settings menu & this is frustating.For changing a " ROCK, JAZZ etc in music player you need to go to settings. Photo editing is not possible at all. Maps are not available in the new software, u need to download maps over the air & the maps are as large as 342mb. The only good about bada2.0 is that you will get an interface of android otherwise there is nothing great in it. Last week I took my phone to service center as some of the apps were not wrking proprly.I just asked them to install the new software & Wat they said was that if while downloading the software, the phone goes dead then it would be entirely my responsibility & i wud be paying the extra cost after that. I was givin my phone to them in excellent wrking condition but still they had a doubt whether the installation would be successful or not. The final word that i would say to all is that samsung is a market player. Imagine samsung without android ....!!. Customer support is terrible. After releasing bada there was no support to its own OS as they are making good money from android devices. I would say that even if you check your old nokia phone u will still get over the air updates.

  • how to install android on wave2

  • Hi Vineeth, really appreciate your feedback on the focus, how is the actual resolution of video recording in 2.0, is it as good as in 1.2? apologies if that is what you meant by focus but just wanted to clarify - video recording resolution is important to me as I like shooting videos then playing them back on my tv so I dont want it to worsen.

  • buy a device in a country like india which depends so much on bluetooth sharing is just little more than waste...

  • bada is an os made by samsung and hence only apps from samsung apps can be installed...

  • for all those who are worried about video recording in bada 2.0 There is a silly mistake of no pause while recording.... But zooming and touch focus have improved a lot in bada 2.0 So deciede.. Do u want to pause or have a better focus....??

  • Plzzzz help / tell me how to install android on wave 2 as i am using bada 2...

  • I have upgraded my bada 1,2 OS to 2,0, but as regards the video quality it lacks a lot of features as sharp adjustment and others like pause during the video recording. DO NOT CHANGE 1,2 TO 2,0 You`ll get frustrated and cannot get back to previous version!

  • hi all, I'm staying on bada 1.2 just to keep the great video recording quality, cos I've heard mixed opinions on it in 2.0. What do you think, is video recording quality as good in 2.0 as it is in 1.2? Love to hear your opinion, and all other wavers who have updated, appreciate your views.

  • I am using wave 2 in my mobile camera in not clear what to do ple help mee friends

  • I bought my GF a new phone and took this one because she was having problems with the keypads. I upgraded the firmware to Bada 2.0 which has alternate keypads (3x4 phone, handwriting, and handwriting full screen) which allows one to "get around" the Qwerty keyboard problems, but there are still spots on the touch glass that don't work, so there is a problem somewhere. the phone is not even a year old yet. and you have to use Kies to upgrade to Bada 2.0 and Kies is a piece of crap.

  • hiya, I'm staying on 1.2 just to keep the great video recording quality, cos I've heard mixed opinions on it in 2.0. What do you think, is recording quality as good in 2.0 as it is in 1.2? Love to hear your opinion, and all other wavers who have updated, appreciate your views.

  • I used this phone 15 months, once the warranty is over it started showing problems with charging unit. After checking with authorised service center, i was told to change the board for Rs.5K. Later changed only changed the IC unit for Rs. 1.2K, but finally it is only getting charged but not at all working. This is second experience with Samsung phones. Have checked with my friends too, Guys please dont go for Samsung phones. You pay 10k or 15k to buy a phone which will work perfectly only during its warranty period.

  • I can't afford it dude. if I was able then too I won't buy it. 4s will be the limit for me . for now thinking of 3gs 16gb. going for iphone just for few apps.

  • dude.. if u really want some change, y don't u buy Apple 5s. no more trouble.. only things is u can enjoy .. my boss using apple 4s an is consists of all awesome features.. just try this .

  • Partha- throw ur resent phone and buy Galaxy Y. No trouble,u can enjoy.

  • hey iphone 4s is good right. why going for 5? I can't afford it. your one x is also a great phone I guess. I'm again in confusion . confused about n8 and 3gs. or shall I go to htc hd series?

  • i love wave 2 but navigation is sucks hi friends any obtion to smooth run navigation

  • ofcource go for iphone 3gs, no one can reach apple, apple is apple. i m thinking of buying iphone5, when it will launch on india and thinking of selling my htc one x,( will got 27k , 4month old) but will keep wave2 as , if i sell it i will got only rs. 6000,7000. as 20months old and it will good to keep wave2

  • So will recommend me to go for n8 with belle refresh? I wanna go for it but due to low ram and hanging prob was avoiding it. Willing to go for n8 or phone 3gs. Wat do u say?

  • nokia n8 used to hang until there was no belle in it... The belle os with newer updates has made the phone exceptionally fast....

  • hey I have opera mini installed. its nice. but the default browser should work properly right . its html5 browser. its fast but needs more memory to run smoothly. I was getting angry with the text entry the browser. when I open some sites like way 2 sms to type a msg you should wait for few seconds when you type on the keyboard. well not too bad as it may seem from my words . its n.j.

  • Hai guuzz.... I m frm assam... N usin dis phn fr 1 yr.... I js wanted 2 knw dat.... Cn i install any version of android in my phn....??? Plz hlp me....

  • when opening large pages, use opera mini from samsung apps (install it on phone memory ) and tell me which apps u installed on your wave2 everyone must have installed " advanture of tintin" and if u have the way to spoofing, u don't have the problem with less apps on bada accept we don't have whattsapp sadly

  • thanks for sharing your experience dude. I too dint like android so I bought wave 2 for a change. I had my hands on with wave 3 in a shopping mall so thought to go to bada . actually was again goingfor symbian with Nokia n8 but heard it hangs frequently etc etc so changed my mind. I regret buying bada because the handy things are not there. Samsung navigation software is not good. and Google maps don't work as fast as it should. the gps don't get the position immediately as in android. the thing most irritated me is the Ram which is not enough for the browser and other apps. when I open large and heavy web pages it lags and some time browser shuts down. sometime shows not enough memory when I try to open a new window. when you are in a hurry and things don't work you get irritated . even with android. lol hope Samsung people bring their update soon. I need more ram .

  • thanks for sharing your experience dude. I too dint like android so I bought wave 2 for a change.

I just need few handy apps so its not a problem for m.d. the prob I felt is of Ram . its not enough for the browser and other apps. when I open large and heavy sites the browser acts slow and sometimes shutdown. so its irritating. bada 2.0 is not that bad. but when you are in hurry and things don't work you get irritated. lol. even with android.

  • thanks a lot for sharing how to spoof...

  • i wonder if you've bought wave2 cos am using it since more than a year and it did have maps in bada 1.2 The good news in bada 2.0 is that you can use google maps in browser and the best part is that you can download the map for many countries beforehand to be uses offline.. The map also consists of weather updates over network and is maintained by navtech the maps of division of nokia which has the best maps... Better than google maps and ofcourse much better than ios 6 maps...

  • hey bada 2.0 is very nice os... Yes we did mention we got to sacrifice some features from bada 1.2... But the rest is very nice... And its true that it does not come closer to leading os in market... But thats because of app support... But its ui is more user frndly than android... Also my favorite os is symbian... No one can match its features and uniqueness... Its a legend and cannot be compared with any os... Nokia is stupid for not promoting symbian... Coming back to wave2. .. Its better than even galaxy note... I was comfortable qith wave2 more than my galaxy note only that apps support is more in this.. Also the samaung apps in bada2.0 works fine just upgrade it... Gaming is smooth too... Yeah battery life has been affected... Once you start using internet over 2g or 3g the phone starts lagging and when you restart the phone the battery drops down to 3%.... But if you keep it in flight mode the battery increases again upto near to where you restarted your phone after some time... I dont knw what the problem is.. But its fun watching the battery increase by itself slowly... And camera ui has improved... You do not necessarily select the macro mode if you want to click such pics.. Just tap the part of th screen where the object you want in macro mode... The touch focus has improved... It happens while you are recording video too..

  • i can't understand problem u have with angry bird , because i have installed it since 3-4 months, may be your ram goes full , or ur application memory full , u don't need to remove memory card , just restart your phone, this problem is may be due to after using samsung apps / playing asphalt6 so restart your phone , if u use samsungapps

  • I agree with you Alex . really it sucks.don't know what and how did they thought before making an operating system. apps need work space to run which wave 2 does not offer. even thing is fine except the ram and resource allotment. any one who can pass this msg to Samsung developers? I don't know whom to contact.

  • Samsung really failed on developing it's on OS(bada). My recent worst exp is that i downloaded Angrybrids game paying rs.99, the game wont launch when the microSD which is 8GB is in the phone. I can only play the game after removing the microSD. The samsung service centers sucks more as they dnt do anything but just reflash the firmware. SAMSUNG SUCKS

  • ya really me too getting angry. I'm charging twice a day . also using it continuously but The resource and ram allotment should be good right?. will wait for a update else sell my phone

  • The wave 2 has only 87 mb of ram . I came to know through the badaSI app . That's the reason why the applications are not running properly. WTF Samsung? How can you make this silly a shit mistake . Out of your mind? That's why when Samsung apps is running the browsers is not responding well . You can only any one between these two. Only small apps can run under 100 mb. Getting so angry . Foot know how Samsung people can make this silly mistake.

  • bada 2.0 sucks.....1.2 was better... Battery just drains out like anything...and the 1ghz processor is good for nothing.Hardly 2 apps run at a time... Bada 2.0 has only brought changes in orientation and looks..but not flaunts about any new feature or improvement.. Rathet it took away some useful feature like music recognition found in bada 1.2... I miss bada 1.2.........

  • Shit ram allotment. And Resource allotment. Just 2 applications can be running at same time. Every application specially default browser and chat on is a bottleneck to ram and to the processor. Typing affected by the Bada 2.0 update. 1.2 was quicker but lacked features. If you don't have features you can be assured that your phone don't have it but having features with this buggy performance make you angry . Samsung you really need to give attention towards Bada 2.0 performance.

  • spoofing in bada 2.0 take some time to understand watch this video tuturial if u have any doubt , ask me

  • Hey make sure the other party is also on 3g and their phone is compable of making a video call. If you have checked this then describe what error are you getting when you are trying to make a video call.

  • my sum "says plat form 'so' checking failed & platform 'so' modification is detected" how can i fix it

  • i am unable to make videocalls from my phone i do have 3g netwrk and also i can receive video call only facing issue when i am trying to make video call to some1 can any1 help?????

  • sorry for the mistake but my firmware is s8530 XXLA1. wrote 8532 by mistake. its understood lol

  • Why is your firmware different? I updated 3 days back I guess . I'm from karnataka. But right now in Hyd. I updated by seeing your comments. First two days I felt 1.2 was good and slick . Now started to like 2.0. A few adjustments but its ok.

  • mine firmware is s8530 ddlc2 , and me too from india , which state you from?

  • check out wave2's graghic performance

  • I'm from India. And you? My software version is s8532xxla1 what about yours?

  • please karan, can u tell how to spoof & get paid apps for free..

  • hey friends , advanture of tintin is free on samsung apps, so don't forget to download it for downloading extra 752 mb files , it will take more than 20hours to download on 2g 1-do not turn off lcd while downloading ,otherwise download will pause 2- after downloading 46 % , it will directly reach 94% after 10 hours after playing this game, u will like your phone as the game is like movie , and graphics are as pc games ( install it even if u don't like games)

  • first of all , i got all apps for free, spoofed it most of games runs smoother , asphalt 6 runs great , but after playing around 10 races , and close it , ram goes full ,and restaring phone needed, and some times advanture of tintin, nfs hot purshuit require to restart phone ( if u open samsung apps/ play asphalt6 ) other games running great as it can advanture of tintin - 800 mb game asphalt 6 - 400mb splintercell- 650 mb spiderman- 600mb nfs hot purshuit - 220 mb brothers in arms 2 - 400 mb gangstar - 200 mb angry bird - 60 mb nova-160mb i can say wave2 is still best gamming phone in its range after playing hd games on wave2 , i forget playing on my pc and psp

  • where u from?

  • hey karan . it looks like you downloaded whole apps store lol. which games run smooth on the wave 2?

  • don't know who and why did they change the camera interface. it was nice, simple and handy. first macro mode was on the screen but now we should go to settings and then can change macro mode or auto focus. its also ok as we use it rarely but the keyboard is annoying me . I guess the new browser is heavy on the ram and processor. I want to point out there things to Samsung so don't know whom to tell lol

  • I'm sorry. I take back my words. now my phone seems to work well but typing in browser lags and Samsung apps is the thing which slows down my phone. when I tried running only Samsung apps it works well for few mins then Samsung apps closes . others things are good. but still need a good update. can' adjust every time with this.

  • i already said, samsung apps on bada2.0 is crap, don't use it , if u open it than restart your phone for clear ram,and install opera mini on phone memory for better performance, (and again ,changing the theme also kill the ram) and about multitasking bada 2.0 is better u can use opera mini+ monami (facebook chat app)+ any game at same time some application support full multitasking like opera,monami, chat on,kakao talk and many other

  • After updating to bada 2.0 and using it the whole day. I can say bada 2.0 is a shit in simple words. It degrade not upgrade. 1.2 was far better. Pathetic multitasking. When 2 app are running at same time example browser and Samsung apps you can't even type anything properly on your keyboard . It lags like hell . Really disappointed. Samsung made a shit . If Samsung is listening or reading this then wanna tell them to pls upgrade us with a better lag free Operating system or give us our money back. Thanks to opera that they made the browser for this platform else don't know what would have happened. I'm seriously thinking to sell out my phone.

  • plz check out images of awesome bada apps and reply me

  • do not use samsung apps, it kills your ram, one advice ,when u open samsung apps, and use it, just restart your phone, and yes changing the theme also kill the ram i restart my phone 2times / day

  • hey why are you posting comments which shows bada is a very nice operating system. well its ok but it can't come close to any of the OS which are on top now. I would like to see it with them but I mean feature wise and stability its too far from them. ah I liked symbian very much. in bada when you press the end call button the running app closes . its very annoying. every one presses it in a hurry or by mistake . its far from multitasking. Samsung people should give have given only one button as in iphone .I just updated to bada 2.0 and felt just looks have been changed and some here and there tweaks. first impression was good but after using it 2 hours getting angry on Samsung team. how can they make silly mistakes when others are making huge improvements and adding new features. the page too large error still exists.

  • hey buddy I updated my wave 2 to bada 2.0 and feels nice . refreshed look. but a bit slow . but 1.2 was insufficient and incomplete operating system. well hope we get 2.1 or further update. fingers crossed.

  • hi i m not able to use nevigation on my phone frm last few days its not detecting my location on the map wt should i do? m oprating my phone on bada 2.0 plz help me

  • hey skype and nimbuzz don't work on wave 2 cos they dint make app for the bada OS . if you want nimbuz then try its java app I'm using the same thing. go to m.nimbuzz.com on your mob n it will detect your phone and give the appropriat file. else if you are on bada 1.2 then update to bada 2.0 .

  • i have samsung wave 2 but if i download skype and nimbus always reply is not supported in OS what can i do because nimbuz and skype is very important to me please answer ASAP

  • i have wave 2, its o.s. is too bad. even no map application, if u wanna map u have to update bada 2 o.s. battary life is only one day but if u listening to music or f.m or video u never can use even one day. sometime phone is auto restart. its not worth with its prise. good thing is. head set sound is great. display resolution is great. internet is fast. think again before u buy.

  • and yes about instant messeging, its on bada2.0 + monami app best for facebook chat + kakao talk , chat on android, ios users also using kakao talk + viber only available for wave3 but soon it will available also for wave2 so its stupidity , sily mistake to use bada1.2 on this october 2012

  • about internet experience , new updated dolphine browser is far better than old 1.2 no any low memory issue like stupid bada1.2 browser and new dolfine is much smoother as it can be on youtube there is hq option on it,and good clearity , unlike stupid clearity on bada1.2 + opera mini on samsung apps available only for bada2.0 as per my experience of 5month of using bada2.0 and ,1year of using 1.2 bada2.0 hangs, but not that much more like bada1.2 so go to service centre and update your wave2

  • Yeah, so how do you spoof???

  • I'm not a gamer. I need few useful apps a great internet experience. I mean great browser. and a nice interface that's it. and stability is also a main concern. I heard in bada 2 wave 2 lags and hangs often. so scared to upgrade. well sometimes it even hangs in 1.2. phone has great hardware but no instant messaging so feeling like handcuffed lol. thank you sharing your experience.

  • in bada2.0, google maps works like on android on the preinstalled browser and preinstalled APP navigation route 66 is also updated

  • hey venith, if u don't know spoofing, i will tell u , how to spoof the games and apps

  • Dude u haven't tried BADA 2.0 i guess.. it has better and more user friendly UI than android.. Am using wave 2 with bada 2.0 and galaxy note with ICS 4.0.4 but still love bada 2.0 UI... Android has better support for apps though.. but bada 2.0 also has some apps support.. if it gives some more apps support then its far better than android... Social Hub in bada 2.0 is better than in android.. even if it starts supporting whatsapp and skype then it is better than android..

  • There is still no updated navigation apps available on this bada 2.0

  • wave 2 need anirod app ...plz uppdate new version.

  • bda1.2 was waste bada 2.0 is best os

  • wat?? bada 2.0 still to come india?? r u joking? or u came from any other planet?

  • How could Bada be awesome and ugly at the same time?Your statement does not make sense. I have wave ll and its a bombshell. I will never trade it for anything else, even for the Bada 2 upgrade. The original Bada 1.2 is the best for me.

  • A very disappointing handset, bada 1.2 firmware has nothing to offer as compare to its android counterparts. Bada 2.0 still to come in india. Plz dont buy this phone.

  • Two minutes once, my black light getting on, I do no why, my mobile battery getting down, give me solution for this. It is setting problem or bada OS problem.

  • This phone has an awesome but an ugly OS called BADA.. Plz dont buy these brand of phones

  • Face exactly the same issue... left touchscreen not responding...

  • on bada2 u r missing alot ,if u don't update bada2 bada1.2 was waste

  • yes hq videos on even 2g network

  • Harry do you have bada 2.0 and if you do,does it play YouTube in high quality using 3g, or only high quality using wifi(like bada 1.2)? Appreciate yours and all wavers help dudes.

  • Kindly design some good themes, live wall papers(as of like android) supporting bada 2.0(upgraded from 1.0 or higher)

  • ITS is good phone iam using this model this plays youtube online in HQ.

  • I think that video recording and picture quality in bada 2.0 is worst than in bada 1.2. and sound quality too. i have two wave 2 mobiles so i make comparation one have bada 2.0 and other 1.2. i am disapointed with this!!!

  • is video recording quality in bada 2.0 as good as it is in bada 1.2? And in 2.0 can you play YouTube in hq using 3g or only wifi like in 1.2? Please let me know fellow wavers as I'm still trying to decide whether to upgrade, appreciate your help dudes.

  • can i change bada operating system to Android operating system

  • This review is excellent and true. Dont believe these reviews by these phone bashers who have nothing else to do or are either misinformed or unable to operate a smartphone or both.

  • very good but cant use fring and skype etc.

  • Good Phone but lags Skype feature

  • although the specs are awesome but android would've been a lot better!!!

  • how is video recording quality in 2.0? as good as in 1.2? and in 2.0 can you play YouTube in hq using 3g or only wifi? hope you can help guys.

  • Well though some of the previous features are removed you still wont complain.. But for an orthodox user like me these features did matter... Bada 2.0 is great... previously there was both conversation and folder view in messeges... But now only conversation view... But with better qwerty keyboard than before... Also for everything you need to go to settings to do setting of any app... Previously you could do it from the app itself.. Like if u need to change the preset equilizer setting you need to go to settings rather thanchanging from the music player.. In contacts or call logs if u sweep over a contact either left or right there are 4 options viz call, msg, video call or email previously if u did right or left sweep it used to directly call or msg... You dont have photo editor in bada 2.0 anymore.. Download the photo editor app frm samsung apps Even in file manager theres a bit change.. Improvements are noticable on gallaery, video player etc... Also you get voice control with bada 2.0, chat on, social hub, more app support, folders in menu, live panel and much more with few to lose....

  • How do you spoof in wave 2.. If you could help me in spoofing too.. I forgot about the maps.. Yes now you can download complete maps for flight mode navigation... Also the browser now supports google maps too.. Apps now make a better use of location...

  • Gorilla glass just protects ur screen from scratches due to nails but if you keep coins and phone in same pocket then scratch is sure to occur

  • bada2 update good thing - spoofing for getting any paid apps for free 1-4*4 icon ui 2-less hanging 3-gallary (preinstalled app0 4-slite better sound quality 5-video player,now .mkv files start quickly ( bada1.2 had sensor problem on video player) 6-keyboard on vertical is more easier to type ,and black keyboard look better than white keyboard 7-better ui 8-better lock screen 9-full multitasking on some apps 10-better notification bar 11-better music player 12-dolfin browser is far better now 13-route66 map updated, its better bad things 1-now it running at 850mhz instead of bada1.2 1ghz 2-camera capture speed is bit slow compared to 1.2 3-touch focusing in camera is not working as 1.2 4-no any option like 1.2 for, any key unlocking but now it seems to be ,no any new app comming on samsungapps ,through they launch wave3 it seems to be bada is at its end i bought htc onex at 35k 1month ago but still love this phone and say its best phone for 15k ,at this time september 2012!

  • great thing is , just start spoofing and u can get all great gameloft , ea games, and other apps any of u want for freeeeeeeeeee and gaming performance is great

  • YOu dont need to do negative publicity. THis handset is not available in market as samsung has stopped manufacturing it.

  • A total Useless... Not worth spending a single penny on it.. Continuous Hangs.. wont get update... touch flickers.. NOT ADVISABLE... I was duped.. Please dont get duped... DONT BUY THIS PHONE

  • samsung wave 2 is a good phone! you dont have to use screen protector and it has a very sleek and good solid feel.... to some people who complains about software issues about after they convert to bada 2.0.1 maybe u have errors on updating ur device. my wave 2 didnt hang for the last 6 months with bada 2.0. if u flashed it correctly, it shouldnt hang up

  • I have this phone for two years now. I am really happy even after two years of heavy daily use the phone works perfectly. Ive got no major issues. After updating to Bada 2 i have to do factory reset though to get the phone working properly. Only bad thing about this phone is its OS Bada. This OS was IMHO one huge mistake from Samsung. It looks great, it has lot of features but apps cant clean up their mess after closing. So I have to restart the phone after using any app to clean RAM and back processes. Also there was never enough app developers. Build quality of this phone is excellent. Its a shame Samsung is not using such high-quality materials on Galaxy devices.

  • @veenith i have this both phone , but for gaming i use wave2 because i do spoofing and get all gameloft ,ea ,and many others for free, but in one x ,rooting is needed for free hd games,which destroy my warrenty, and i don't have credit card for buying apps,as i m student and 2.0 ui is best and still love this phone after 1.5year ,

  • dont buy it ...it gets hang... auto restarting...and got touch prob within a year. belive me..samsung sucks

  • what specific features are better or new in bada 2.0, and what are lost from 1.2? please dudes let us still on 1.2 know to help us decide to upgrade - we keep hearing different messages, some say bada 2.0 is better, some say much worse, why? what is the truth? appreciate everyone on this forums help on this.

  • bada 2.0 is cool... With an amazing UI.. Its UI is far better than android 4.0.4 that am using in my galaxy note... Though you need to sacrifice few features from bada 1.2 but still the update is worth it... Bada lacks app support that are available in other os like the ios, android, windows phone, symbian etc....

  • thanks dipanjan, what's better in bada 2.0, what are the features you like that make it worth upgrading?

  • in my wave 2 phone on left side the touch is not working only in my left side only why

  • noted with tkz for your reply.

  • which is best phone for video recording quality, arc s or wave 2? and best screen? as you have both which do you prefer and why? just wonder if I should also get arc s...

  • hi craz, im thinking of upgrading from 1.2 to 2.0, is video recording quality as good in 2.0? and can it play YouTube in hq in 3g in 2.0? I particularly dont want to mess up video recording quality(which is great in 1.2), is it safe to upgrade my wave 2 to 2.0? would appreciate your opinion.

  • I've been using wave2 for almost an year now and with bada 2.0 for 6 months. Its working perfectly now, yes sometimes caller ringtone is not working properly but if u restart once for every 2 days like I'm doing right now , its fine now. I have to say it has a very good user interface like Android ICS in which I'm using on my SE Arc.

  • We need Skype and Whatsap on this phone pliz

  • Samsung service is very poor. My Wave-II got a touch screen problem within waranty period. Samsung service center took the mobile for repairs, as spares are not available with them. More than 2 months have gone but till date handset has not been repaired. I have purchsed new Nokia E5 now. I think I will get my Wave-II back after repairs in 2-3 years :D

  • yes upgrade to firmware from badahub.com,just follow the procedures,bada 2 is really nice,u ll love it once u get the hang of it

  • hai friend that is imposible in wave2

  • bought wave II s8530 a week ago and when wifi is on the signal strength is 80% even i am in front of wireless router, and if i go in another room the signal is loosing or barely gets 10%. i had nokia e72 before and in front of wireless router i got 100%, and in another room like 50-80% of the signal. please someone advice me how to solve this problem. tnx

  • hi thanks buddy.. u too take care.. :-) & also take care of ur phone.., Wave 2 is a rare phone with metal chasis built of brushed aluminium..

  • hi Kedar, thankyou so much for your great advice, I really appreciate it, take care.

  • Ok,i'll admit i am surprised but who would have thought a Samsung would have a cracked screen problem (ex D900 user myself!) This is what happened, other half decided to update mmc to a larger capacity, slid down the battery cover latching switch and the back almost launched itself into orbit but didn't think anything of it, switched cards and then went to put the phone back together, inserted battery then went to put the battery cover back on only to find it wouldn't go on easily, applied firm but even pressure and the screen cracked (silly mistake) but it turns out the battery has swollen in one area but sunken in another. So now the screen and battery has to be replaced but looking at the spares cost it will be cheaper to buy a new phone. Very surprised at this happening.

  • hi ur problem is a rare one.., anyway lets try to solve it.. go to my accounts , there u will see an email address which samsung considers as the official email id for all purposes.., DELETE that email id & account.. switch off & on ur mobile.. then do a full hard reset(caution- u will loose all ur data,so back it up before u do this..) again switch off & on ur mobile.. i think after this ur problem should be solved.., if still the problem persists, then u may have to flash ur firmware.., give to samsung service center they will flash it with latest firmware..

  • I posted this b4 also but no reply's.. Plz advice... I have updated to bada2.0 on my Wave II and now i'm having an issue with Samsung Apps. When ever i open Samsung Apps and when I select one app to download login page is loaded and when I'm entering my valid registered credentials getting an error "Process Failed". Same error is coming when I'm trying to register(Sign Up)again. When I'm going to Samsung Apps through PC it's getting opened. Plz Help.........

  • Plz dont buy...I'm regretting my decision of buying this from past 1 year :(

  • hi, yetiplayer plays HQ youtube videos both in 3G+ & wifi networks.. only problem is that it is a paid app for which we require credit card.. & secondly certain service providers of 3G network in india block it, as it uses RSTP Protocol which requires ports 554 & 8554 to be available in your 3G+network.. if you have SIM cards of different service providers u can try & see.. and next query: HQ option is absent in both bada 1.2 & bada 2.0 , i think in general youtube has stopped giving HQ option for its videos on certain mobile browsers like opera,uc.. maybe the next opera mini 7.0 updated version which is expected by this year can have HQ option.. lets wait & see.. bye.. take care..

  • @vikas learn english it will solve half of your problems with bada

  • And yes,YouTube videos play supersmooth and Crystal clear ...u need to have wi fi for it.

  • And yes,YouTube videos play supersmooth and Crystal clear ...u need to have wi fi for it.

  • After installing bada 2.0,the phone feels like a real smartphone...

  • thanks kedar, hadnt thought of that, thats very clever! you also mentioned yetiplayer, does it play YouTube hq in 3g or just wifi? and do you know why opera mini stopped showing hq button in YouTube? its the same with uc browser, dont know if its just because im on 1.2?

  • hi, its true now opera mini does not give HQ option for viewing youtube videos.. i have a solution i bought myself a mobile sim wifi router(like micromax/lava/sony..etc) : its like a mobile phone with battery & a sim card slot.. i put my extra 3G enabled simcard in it.. & switch it on, now it acts as wifi router choose your unique User Id & Password(now nobody else can access ur wifi signal).. , then activate wifi in ur wave 2 and pair it with it by entering the same user id & password.. now you will see that our wave 2 will start playing youtube videos crystal clear like home theatre system.. yesterday i watched one whole 2 hour movie on my wave 2 like this via youtube.., it was mind blowing picture & audio clarity.., i shall never go for movie theatres from now,when i have a mini home theatre system like WAVE 2 in my pocket.. and one advice stay on with bada 1.2 as its more smoother & user friendly OS than bada 2.0 ,ultimately its individual choice i feel that way.. anyway i hope ur youtube video viewing problem is solved now.. :-) bye..

  • i also cant get youtube clear enough to watch in wave 2. i want to stay on bada 1.2 for now and used to use opera mini to watch youtube in Hq but now the hq button is missing - anyone know the solution, or an app that helps? i want to stay on 1.2 as i need to keep the good quality video recording( is it worse in 2.0)?

  • in my wave 2 youtube videos are crystal clear.. first off all u need a 3G+ network or WiFi connection for youtube videos to be clear.. after that check ur VOD settings, enter ur mobile service providers APN settings in it.. now rock on.. enjoy ur youtube videos.. also download yeti player from samsung apps by which u can download youtube videos.. i hope this helps..

  • I'm using Samsung S8530 Wave II but cant run Youtube.................

  • thanks karan.. ur advice was really helpful.. :-D

  • yes very correct, i also your way

  • how can i update my wave 2 os from bada1.2 to bada 2.0

  • please guide me android software dounlod to wave 2

  • Hi Guys, Bada 2.0 is much slower than bada 1.2. Bada 2.0 hangs most often. Notification bar continuously pops down. Reject with message option during incoming call will be enabled most of the times when kept in pocket. Using this kind of OS is much painful. Everytime i had to restart phone when it hangs. Battery backup is very low. Battery could not sustain even a single day. In bada 1.2, I use to charge for every 2 days. Finally, i can conclude that bada 1.2 is much more stable than bada 2.0.

  • updated my phone to bada 2.0 did you notice that if change your theme in bada 2.0 to any other theme like paperman etc. caster icon in notification setting menu disappears. i.e. settings>notification>caster small icon next to caster (only, no other) vanishes. I've observed this with evert theme i installed. it comes back when default theme is set..

  • how can i update my samsung s8530 wave ìì

  • plz... is it revert back from bada 2.0 to bada 1.2, plzzz rply thank you

  • then u can get good firmware for flahing frm xdadevelopers

  • Samsung is supposed to release Bada 2.0 in 3 stages (Europe, Asia, Middle East-and-Africa). They are still at stage 2 (Asia). Very very slow support from Samsung. If you can`t wait any more, Flash (Risky choice).

  • You can connect your phone to your pc without any programs when switching to mass storage from settings. In Mass storage mode ; the device acts as USB flash memory and doesn`t need programs.

  • can any one say me which handset is goooood? wave 2 or gio...........?

  • hi shivaji, go to www.samsung.com/in/support & search for KIES software, dowload it & save it in your PC/LAPTOP hard drive.. your pc/laptop should have at least 1GB RAM, preferably 2GB RAM for the KIES software to work smoothly.. after the KIES software download & installation connect your phone via USB connector (provided with the handset) to pc/laptop.. now you can transfer files , upgrade your phone software.. -sharmishta

  • yes, call recording function is there but in many other things bada2.0 is not a satisfactory again, instead of promoting, bada is demoted in some regions so bada2.0 missing those cool functions of bada1.2 1. IM is there but it cannot works in background like bada1.2 2. you can not send offline messages on facebook 3. phonebook is not synchronised with fb contacts only gmail contacts can be seen 4. messages can not be view folderwise as before 5. logbook shows only phone calls, not facebook msgs, not given a sns fuction. 6. instant downloading of your emails in real time is not possible. 7. music rotating cds missed there amazing experience. 8. samsung chat-on is useless 9. my files all contents from phone memory and memory card can not be seen at a time, so u hv to remember where u stored a file 10. photos scrolling after tilt is not there 11. no separate search button 12. java apps cannot fitted to screen size 13. task manager graphics removed 14. sometimes on running multiple application, some applications gets closed automatically eventhough we did not wish to close them 15.small keypad looses writing experience. only few good changes are 1. less hanging 2. easily file sharing available 3. google maps supported, (but not so much use of gps because of its pure hardware) 4. back key is given (which is only good change)

  • From my personal experience the conclusion that I drew,I think Wave II is better because it load games and websites much faster than Galaxy S. comparing it to Samsung GT-S8600, Wave 3 loads much faster than Wave II. ♥
