Samsung 8500 Mk, 16 Aug 2012Hello to all Can any one tell me how to change unlock bu... moreTough luck. I guess we're stuck with the press-the-lock-button-to-activate-phone setup. The call/end keys provide a better and more convenient solution IMO.

Um, hope Samsung will include it in future minor bada updates. LOL.

    You don't know what you're missing. :-)
    Flash it to bada 2.0 manually. It's complicated (a little) and risky but it's worth the risk.

    For UK FW:
    http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-S8500&pcode=XEU&os=2&type=1#firmware

    Register first to download the FW, and just google the flashing tutorial (instructions).

    Do some research first and if you're up to it, go flash your phone.

          Well it looks like Bada is dead,,see GSMArena homepage on Tizen due early next year..


          What a waste of effort and time it takes a lot of engineering time to build a new O/S.I loved the s8500 it was one of the top smartfones 2 years ago with best screen ever built 1GHz proccessor and so on..I still remember vividly charging it for first time and the big green battery icon glowing with colour,,i knew the the screen was something special.

                                or only in wifi (as I've discovered)? this is my main problem with wave 2. currently still on bada 1.2 but am I right in thinking this limitation remains in bada 2.0?
                                anyone know the answer to this?

                                    raki, 08 Aug 2012How to upgrade my samsung wave I to anaroid 4.0dont think you can do that. I've been looking around and there've been a few projects to port android on wave, but they all seem to be abandoned. The best I've found is a Gingerbread port from last year (never finished, modem and calls not working) and a more recent ICS port (still unfinished, the last post from the developer was in april 2012).

                                    Someone correct me if I'm wrong
