jofa, 02 Dec 2011I just got this message while trying to access Google Maps ... moredear Jofa,
upon observation, I think you might have mistook a "kies 2.01 update" to your actual phone firmware "bada2.01" update
I also encountered this while I was connected to the internet and launched keis on my computer
I was soo excited when a message "an update to 2.01 is available" wasnt really able to read the whole message I just clicked on the "ok" button so as to download the update immediately
but while downloading I was puzzled that the phone wasnt really updating to its usual course, or no message of "please do not disconnect the phone"
and also, the download was fast
after the update installed I was shocked to see my phone is still in 1.2
after a bit of research it seems the update was only for the KIES...and not on the actual phone firmware
and to answer when will bada 2.0 officially be released via kies? No one knows the exact date yet...only Samsung was quoted in saying that its supposed to be released q4 this year
which is no more than this month of december ^_^

HELP REQUIRED?
Hello guys nd gals, i connected my wave 4 the 1st time with wifi. It connected to the bsnl wifi broadband seamlessly but when i tried to use it, then i found that there was no speed at all. It takes upto 30 seconds to open the homepage of google in operamini; my gprs works faster than this. My brothers old n86 is able to acheive download speeds upto 200 kbps easily. Is there any setting or something that i am missing? I'm running on BADA 1.2. Please respond. Thanks in advance.

if it restarts that often and the service center guys themselves have already flashed the phone, perhaps its already a faulty hardware? can you ask if they can flash the phone with a different software region?
pleae keep us updated good luck ^^

dear sir lil grumpy: err it is unfortunate that your wifi signal has been underperforming as of late
wifi signal problems have alot of factors to consider:
1. the router that you are connecting to, perhaps it is having some problems? If you can confirm that the router is okay lets confirm if the internet provider is at optimal level or as good as what you were able to access with your wave 1
2. Perhaps its in the firmware of the phone? I noticed that the different firmware have different wifi attributes
try upgrading or changing your firmware lets see if it works
good luck and keep us posted ^_^

Kies updated mi phone to S8500XXKF3/S8500OXFKA1 (CRG), wich is not BADA 2.
Location is Croatia. What is going on with BADA 2.0 !?
How do i update?

try using the following code *#8740# this is for power saving ,if you have mutiple applications opened your battery life also gets depleted very quick if you are indoors adjust your screen brightness your touch sensivity your vibration ,make sure also you dont have your bluetooth on and avoid charging phone and use it especially usb charge then you are bound to kill the battery.

Dear sir carloud yesterday i have opted to purchase the wave II from a friend and i noticed the wi-fi strength on this phone is not as good as my S8500 , the downloading from internet there seems to be lagging and takes longer to download is there any way that i can increase the strength for the wi-fi and better the downloading from the internet.

Anonymous, 30 Nov 2011" and this is while I am at "cp uart" mode w... moredear anonymous please read here:
http://www.itechmag.com/increase-battery-life-of-samsung-wave/
ap uart- reduces the cpu performance
better battery life
cp uart increases cpu performance=lower battery life
I can attest to these as loading videos in ap uart is noticeably slower (divx files) compared to cp uart (which upon flashing my asian firmware seemingly defaulted to)
which theoretically why some seem to notice an increase in performance on bada 2.0 seems like in bada 2.0 cp uart is the default setting (also the default setting in bada 1.2 in some other firmwares like in euro)
