                First of all you have download bada 1.2 with and multiloader from http://www.multiupload.com/8P155MOV1J

                the battery life will take a small hit when upgraded to bada 1.2 and ur warranty will go for a toss as Only official updates thru KIES continue to have warranty.

                plz backup all your contacts,messages,videos,photos by using kies and also make a note of the apps that u installed or else u will lose ur data.
                also it is good if u make a note of the bluetooth and wifi mac id:- with the imei no.

                note-if u cannot connect to kies then (Click KIES on the top left side and select Driver Recovery..)



                then if u like to increase the volume of wave then go to-

                AP Volume Config by *#197328640# - Internal Settings

                - SPK Config / Voice Call Volume
                4: 57 -> 77 et 5: 57 -> 87 et 6: 57 -> 97
                - SPK Config / MP Volume
                5: 61-> 67 et 6: 61 -> 77
                - SPK Config / Voice Memo Volume
                0/1/2/3/4/5/6: 58 -> 100
                - SPK Config / REC Volume
                0/1/2/3/4/5/6: 63 -> 100
                - SPK Config / Ringtone Volume
                5: 61 -> 77 et 6: 61 -> 87




                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.




                Here are Some of the Codes which u can use to check ur phone info..

                *#1234# - Shows Firmware version.
                *#197328640# - Internal Settings
                *2767*3855# - Hard Reset
                *#0228# - Battery Info
                *#0*# - LCD test
                cp UART (full power) or ap uart (powersaver) modes via *#8740#

                preconfiguration:
                Administration mode: *#5239870*#
                Preconfiguration: *#27236*#

                        you are very bright, Mr.Rizul, judging from the fact that you store music in avi, divx, 3gp formats.
                        first understand what i said. I meant to say that the music recognition couldn't even recognise a popular song like "love the way you lie" of which i recorded an audio clip.

                                  pretty big considering the fact that you store music in avi, divx, 3gp formats.

                                      wow, this phone had stay at the top position for a very long time, and 2nd is still far away.
                                      but honestly, i think this phone really deserve it.
                                      ive been using it for 4 month already, still very satisfied. it doesnt have much problem except kies and memory issue(rarely though), and its very smooth. design is also beautiful. the ui and fuction is intuitive. also a great multimedia phone. and theres no need to mention the screen here, i think everybody knows if you want a comfortable, smooth phone without problem to use, i highly recomend this phone. and i pity those who cannot get this phone anymore, but still, theres waveII
