long time to fix SOME shortcomings of this device, just like the Omnia HD, which was an exception because it at least got a firmware update. Add that to the fact that TouchWiz is awful and this Bada OS looks like Linux with a somehow improved TouchWiz UI it's shaping up to be another disappointment from Samsung.
I had the first Omnia, it was a disaster and Samsung never even tried to fix it. Samsung should stick to making feature phones and leave smartphones to those that can do them well, like Nokia, HTC, RIM. Even Apple does better than Samsung by constantly updating the iPhone.

Can't really understand 1 thing! Earlier when we opened samsungapps--featured--new, we could at least see new things, if any. Now for a month or so, we dont really see a chronological order, rather latest item in each category (see it yourself a bit keenly, u will agree) . When thr is a categories list already, why the hell samsung needed make the "new" list messy. Not tough for anyone to miss new items now. Awkward.
Maybe to hide the overdose in theme section!

AnonD-5583, 29 Dec 2011Another plugin update in kies or samsungapps icon is missin... moreei its all good sir abhijeet...its so nice to have you back dear sir ^^
hmm I was finally able to solve my kies problem
I followed these instructions:
http://badadownload.com/2011/12/how-to-spoof-again-on-1-2-bada.html
*some key notes that werent clear with the instructions are:
1.one needs to uninstall the problematic kies program then install it again
after reinstallation, launch kies, do not modify the regedit yet...kies will then prompt for an update....click yes so that the update will begin
after the update, close kies then modify the regedit
by default its on "US" change it to something like "UK"
then afterwards launch kies, kies will then ask you once you click on the samsungapps, on what region do you prefer your kies will be. I used to select UK as well, but this just gave me an error, I now then selected "philippines" and VOILA! IT worked HOHOHO
I just made an account for the philippine region though hehehe :/

According to Samsung of Spain & Italy announced that the bada 2.0 update is being delayed until the 1st quarter of 2012. The company's Italian branch is being a bit more specific on the matter by stating that the software won't be available prior to March of next year. No clue when the asia will get the update sp India & Bangladesh. Very sad to see that sammy didn't give much focus on thier own platform. They just destroying their OS after creating it! They remain totally focus in Galaxy series & upcoming Galaxy S-3. Where they should remain concentrate in their own OS how to develop more! Pathetic Sammy......... :@ :@

AnonD-27987, 28 Dec 2011err sorry for my rather....lengthy post :/Hello carloud, if we flash, installed apps/games will be lost or not? And do we need to redownload the whole data?

I have read that it will stay there; but as icons will be lost, on redownloading that very data will b recovered or whole 4gb have to downloaded agn.

well in my case...I never had a problem with fruit ninja spoofed for my s8500 hohoho!
well anyhow I couldnt resist the urge to finally try out the bada 2.0 kk7 firmware(so far the latest beta build) coming from 1.2 I really didnt know what to expect, was also very nervous that something might happen to my phone like bricking...
just a friendly reminder...flashing from 1.2 to bada 2.0 you also need to include "FOTA" in the multiloader not shut "apps"I didnt know that I also had to include "FOTA" when I flashed my phone the first time for bada 2.0..when suddenly the phone flashed white with a warning "FOTA not installed please install FOTA 2.0"
so I exited multiloader from the pc, took out the battery of the phone and immediately entered download mode again....and fortunately it worked after putting fota accordingly (its already included in the firmware just click FOTA on multiloader)
SO tada....right now Im having a great time with bada 2.0
seems like most guys in the youtube have covered whats new with bada 2.0 like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBPUMP0WWUc
but there are some points that havent been mentioned like
bada 2 kk7 (the latest in badadownload.com) is actually smooth already...
compared to bada 1.2 it stutters just a bit
I consider wave bada 1.2 and iphone 4 as benchmarks in smoothness of the User interface or when browsing the menu
its like bada 2.0 kk7 is at about 95% as smooth as bada 1.2
there are some slight stutter here and there... but those stutters dont really ruin the experience and you'll probably get used to it and not be able to notice it after awhile...
speed in browing on the menu is very much the same as the galaxy ace ^^
there's no asphalt 5 this time around....there's a seperate folder for jave games promptly named "java" with its trademark logo hohoho!
almost everything that 1.2 has is in bada 2.0 and more
but 1 kinda important part missing here
I was so used in "waking up" the screen using the end call keys and the call key, in bada 1.2 you can enable this at the settings so you dont really need to use the lock key that much, as for me, it was abit awkward...to use the lock key just to wake the screen from idle mode.
but here in bada 2.0...it seems you cannot program the "end call key" nor the "call key" to wake the screen up from idle screen lock....:/ hope they put this feature back in the final official version.
one other thing...
the camera key and the virtual camera shutter key works flawlessly...yoiu can use the camera key and the virtual shutter key without hassle
touch focus while recording a video works like iphone 4, you touch the screen and the camera focuses on where you touched...
one big gripe is that it seems they took out the setting of adjusting the "contrast,hue,saturation"
this is a big deal for me because as we all know these hd cameras are great when there is alot of light...but on night time the captured detail by the camera are very low/dark that alot of night time videos are unusable without using the led flash
n95 beats the iphone 4 and the wave in this regard....it is able to capture more detail than these hd cameras even without using its night mode
now I appreciated the fact that in bada 1.2 you can adjust the contrast...it greatly helps its low light performance....adjusting the slider to "-2"
but in bada 2.0....this option is gone >_< I wonder why?
and another thing, recording a video in 1280x720 HD the phone randomly prompts that "memory card does not support this resolution" then ends the record (its kind enough to save the video though) most of the time this happens at the 28 second mark
and it saves the video rather...slowly takes about 8 seconds to save the 28 second hd clip....longer if the "memory card does not support this resolution" shows up.... :/
have no problems recording in 720x480(d1) resolution though
video is smooth and is as good as bada 1.2 only with TOUCH FOCUS ala iphone 4!!!! ^_^
another concern that people seem to have btw is the battery life
battery life seems to be roughly the same as bada 1.2 in this kk7 release...so its still great hohoho!
bada 2 has a battery percentage indicator too so it really helps alot in knowing how much battery life we have left hohoho!
all in all....bada 2.0 kk7 is very stable right now
aside from the problems that I had recording videos in 1280x720
I found it to be alot more stable and reliable so far than bada 1.0 and 1.1 hohohoho!
and the visual eye candy of the menu is really great....feels like android gingerbread ^_^

AnonD-5583, 28 Dec 2011"u hate it so much, coz deep inside u actually love it... morei've already sold my phone,because samsung thinks of us as if we are slaves and not free people ,it keeps on lying and lying and wants us to keep using the phone that is full of bugs ,as you know bada 1.2 has a big memory problem ,always asking for closing the widgets when ever u try to run 3rd party app,the phone some times restarts by it self,and we still after previously promised by 10000 apps in the end of 2010,we only got about 8000 apps most of them are useless and full of ugly themes,we still do not have opera browser ,no nimbuzz,no skype,no viber,no google maps,no angry birds,fruit ninja filled with issues and no online options,plants vs zombies also has problems,the office app is very bad it can't run large pdf files,and u know what made me sell the phone is that i tried the beta bada 2.0 and the memory issue of bada 1,2 was not fixed,so please do not let other people do our mistake,and stop promoting to this disaster phone and its disaster bada os.
