        JT, 12 Oct 2010Hey I just wanto tune up the voice recorder as good as camc... morepeople again, please do not ask again and again same questions.Answer on every your question are on the earlier pages, but i will repeat again



        If you have low sound in speaker ,microphone... You should change values in administration mode.

        Type *#197328640#
        Click the button 5 ( Audio )
        Click the button 2 ( AP, Volume Config)
        Click on the button 2 (EAR Config )
        Click the button 1 (volume MP) - to increase the volume of music files or the 5 key (FM Radio volume ) - Radio
        We can see the 7 lines (0-6 ) we can increase the value of
        all lines (these are the lines that define the level at each
        support ), you can change any of them or increase only
        last value of 58dB to 75dB and 100db max .

        To increase headphone volume, select line 6 and then tap on the white box below the number keypad several times. A new window will pop up - Enter the value over there. Click on done and ok twice.

                                I have used the Sony Ericsson P910i, Nokia N95 8G and the Samsung Omnia i900 8G over the last few years. I was very happy with all of them. My next phone was to come from a long list of possiblilties. The Wave was not on the list. A friend of mine said that before I make a decision, I should look at the Wave as well. I bought it. What a piece of art, lovely, easy to work, vivid screen, smooth, fast, good built quality,....

                                        Steps to install Product Code of ur choice-

                                        My original product code was Product Code: GT-S8500BAAFOP.
                                        When I installed the S8500XXJID_Flash Full, and choose 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 Germany, for example, KIES has newer firmware, say JH7.
