        DAFFODIL, 17 Jul 2011Which is better, SAMSUNG ACE or WAVE 2. Please suggest meIf compared by hardware alone the Wave 2 is much better than the Galaxy Ace. But if you're the kind of person who loves downloading and using tons of apps, then the Galaxy Ace is a better choice.

          The camera dont have zoom facility. There's no Video calling facilty (3g waste). Video quality too bad. Messages come only in thread style. I think these problems r d main disadvantages.

                  My team develop a simple Java App. that also support Android, Galaxy S1 & S2 work fine, but Ace Mini showing problems in the number pad. Everytime we key-in the numbers in the Java App. strange symbols appear instead of the numbers, however those symbols will go away once we confirmed the key-in value by pressing 'Done' on the number pad. Problem is we can't see what we have keyed-in until we press 'Done', just strange symbols and spacing (nothing like any foreign languages that I have seen).

                    My phone is now rocking with the latest Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 update. The amazing thing about the update is that it did not void my warranty. I found the tutorials from here: http://www.phonesarchive.com/tutorials/update-samsung-galaxy-ace-gt-s5830-to-android-gingerbread-234.html happy updating..
