Please help. I have a problem, if i press and hold the end call button more than 6 or 7 seconds my wave shuts down even when the screen is locked, and that really bothers me because it accidentally turns off in my pocket and when I want to use it it requests the pin code due to the inefficient screen and key lock. What should I do to lock the keys to so I can keep my phone on so people can call me?

OK people feel confused to search and download from other thread coz there are so many pages so i made a new thread
method invented by "barbeyn" so the credit for method goes to him
app modding method:
Install any app you want to replace (install on SD card)
Go to Other - bada applications - xxxxxxxx (folder where app is installed)
Download unpacked content of the game that you want to load instead of crappy app that you want to replace.
In the Bin folder there is an *.exe File.
For example if you have installed ARDefender the name of the exe will be ARDefender.exe, and you want to replace it with the Need For Speed, so you rename NFS exe s3e.exe to ARDefender.exe and replace it.
Then go to Info folder and copy appSign.sys, signerCert.sys from NFS to ARDefenders Info folder. With *.htb file do the same procedure that you have done with exe. Rename it and replace it.
Then go to Res folder or Data and delete all the files of crappy app and copy there content of the game you want to install. BUT, you have to save icon.png and splash.png, and rename the image files of NFS with the names of ARDefender. They can differ (for example ARDefender has icon named ARDefender.png and NFS has nfs_icon.png, so you should rename nfs_icon.png to ARDefender.png.
Thats all.
[UPDATED] METHOD 3: AND NOW HERE IS THE EASIEST WAY TO INSTALL/SPOOF/REPLACE ANY APPLICATION (credit goes to elgrankaos)
instructions:
select the original app "ie.which u want to install"
select the container app "ie.which is the crappy app in which you want to install your game"
Press spoof and ur done
enjoy your game
wave spoofer: http://www.multiupload.com/U3YFD2J580
install method for paid apps for free (example- as nfs instead of AR defender):
1. Connect your WAVE to PC, run KIES Wave and install free app game ARDefender on your memory card.
2. Disconnect and connect in "removable drive" mode,then got to the others folder then to - @ bada applications @folder in the memory card
3. Delete the orginal folder in the memory card and then replace it with the folder that u have downloaded which will have the same name.
4. Disconnect from pc.
5. Play.
find all the apps at the torrent site,just type bada in the torrentz.com

After some members asked how to use Kies to update Firmware after they used Multiloader to manually update FW, I searched and tried to find solution, and here it is:
NOTE!!! I use Windows 7, so there might be some slight differences with older Windows.
Ok, lets start:
When you install S8500XXJF1 Firmware on Wave using Multiloader(this is on your risk read Darkforest instructions). This is important since I don't know is Kies updating complete FW.
Download latest version of kies, uninstall old one and install new.
Now find rapi.dll and ceutil.dll in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Samsung\Device Service
and copy them to C:\Program Files\Samsung\Kies
Run kies, connect the phone in Kies mode
Open regedit (just type regedit when you press Windows start button), on the left you can see folders.
Find Samsung->Kies->DeviceDB->2 (there you can see big list of Wave info, if you are lazy to uninstall and install Kies there will be a lot of those folders with numbers, only one contains all data so you can find it by the amount of data shown (whole page)).
Here you need to modify following:
ProductCode: GT-S8500BAADBT
When you do that, now you can close reg-edit.
Start Phone update.
(I hope you figured out that ProductCode needs to mach firmware version - csc combo, this refers to future updates with Kies).
Only thing i want to point out is that in regedit the folder you interested in is :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Samsung \ KIES \ DeviceDB \ 2 (or 4 or 6..)
And the easy way to find out ProductCode for YOUR Wave is to go to one of the web-stores in YOUR country who sells this phone take a look in detail info or description of it . Mine was GT-S8500BAAXEE.
If you want more permanent(easy) way to fix register you can make a file 'something-something.reg' (create txt file> save as> ???.reg) In that file you will put for example :
----------------------------------------------------- (not this line)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\2]
"ProductCode"="GT-S8500BAAXEF"
------------------------------------------------------(not this line)
(But you want behold that one empty line between.)
When this is done all you need to do is :
1. Run KIES
2. Connect your phone
3. Run ???.reg file (this will fix your register)
4. Update yout phone :)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\3]
"SoftwareRevision"="S8500XXJF1/S8500OXAJEG"
"HIDSWVER"="S8500XXJF1/S8500OXAJEG"
"ProductCode"="GT-S8500BAADBT"

Steps to install ProductCode of ur choice-
My original product code was ProductCode: GT-S8500BAAFOP.
When I installed the S8500XXJID_Flash Full, and chose XEU in preconfiguration setting,
my product code was changed to GT-S8500BAAXEU in registry.
I tried to revert back to my original GT-S8500BAAFOP by installing all available
full firmwares, starting with S8500XXJF1 to S8500XXJH3 (using OXC CSC) but the registry
still showed my product code as GT-S8500BAAXEU.
At last I found the solution. And with this method, you can freely now choose the product code you
want for your phone. Just follow the steps below:
1. Install S8500XXJID_Full with the CSC file that contains the product code of your choice
(Example 1: OXA for SKT, XEO, XEF. XEU, ITV, DBT (Germany, France,UK, Italy, etc
2: OXC for FOP, THP, EUR (Spain, Portugal, Greece, etc)
3. etc, etc.
2. After installation, hard reset phone. Then go to admin mode => preconfiguration => and
install the CSC of your choice. Whichever you install will now be your product code.
Connect phone to KIES and check your windows registry.
NOTE: If you install S8500XXJID_Full with the default CSC file (in example 1 above) it's all easy.
But if you install with any other CSC file, phone will normally reboot constantly if you try to go
into MENU and setting. Don't worry, just install, hard reset, then enter admin mode to install your preferred CSC.
Once done, your product code will now be that of the CSC you have installed.
You can now put off phone, and flash your phone with that country's firmware and update to latest firmware via KIES.
OBSERVATION: I have tried this experiment with 2 XX phones and it worked perfectly for me.
Others should try and give feedback.
ADVANTAGES: If you have, for example, product code GT-S8500BAAFOP (Spain) with latest firmware as JH1.
And in Gemany, for eample, KIES has newer firmware, say JH7.
You can easily change your product code to GT-S8500BAADBT and upgrade via KIES.

Filipino Wave user here...Has anyone from the Philippines visited the samsung service center and had their unit's firmware upgraded? or has anyone tried to upgrade the unit's firmware on their own (had it flashed)? if yes, can the european upgrade version (aka 1.2) be used?
