    Ya I'm using DXJF3 firmware as well. For your information, the bug that I mentioned on previous post is a known issue for Samsung WAVE. Everyone now is noticed this.

    Some may get this error when try to read a message, some may get this error when running apps, some may get this when they run too many widget especially those widget need to connect to internet....and so on...etc

    My phone memory is plenty enough at more than 400MB available. I always install apps to memory card. Somewhere is broken in TouchWiz 3.0 not the bada itself.

    The good thing is there are a lot of people who are trying the JH1 firmware have confirmed that this firmware seems solved the famous "Not enough memory..." error. Which means bada 1.0.2 is no longer a little boy anymore. Cheers :D

    About the new JH1 firmware with bada 1.0.2 is on OCT for our region ?? wow that too far away, I think it should release either JF8 or JG? first in the coming end of August or Mid September before JH1.

    Thanks.

        Is it me or the flash is far too strong ????
        Most pictures taken close with the flash are burnt from over exposure.
        Seems like the flash cannot reduce its power when the subject is close, unlike my Pixon

          Finally found a way to exclude my ringtones from being played in the music player. It took me weeks to figure it out.

          Hope there's an option to view properties of folders like its size and the number of files contained in the folder quickly right from My Files.
          Like if you long press a folder or file, Properties or Info should also be included in the pop-up menu not just Delete and Rename.

          Hope in future updates there'd be:
          The one I mentioned above.
          Equalizer and Effects support for M4a formats (desperately waiting for this one).
          M4b format support.
          Option to save a web page with the built in web browser.
          The browser will download any files from the web.
          Text reflow.
          And smilies/emoticons :-)

                Thanks for your reply mate. It seem this is the latest version I can get.

                Is "DXJF3" is your firmware ?? If yes, then you're either from Singapore, Malaysia, Philippine, Indonesia. Due to "DX" code.

                I think the next version is going to release soon. But I was hope that Samsung can get rid of the "Not enough memory, unable to launch application" BUG.

                Thanks.

                  Currently only OLD version of KIES can sync the contact and calendar from / to outlook.

                  Newer version of KIES can only sync contact.

                  I've experienced using KIES that came with the package and it works. IT can sync contact and calendar. But after update it to the newer version, KIES lost this function.

                  Now waiting for Samsung to solve this problem.

                  Alternatively you can sync your contact and calendar with gmail.

                  Thanks.

                                      I think it should get a big update sometime to be much more ram friendly and more optimised plus licences for more apps...Bada is still young but its been a really good effort for a first device..When they announced wave 2 everyone felt cheated but when we found out it was no where near wave specs we cheered up again..Remember this is samsungs OWN o/s so they have put alot of money into this o/s and will push it more so updates "touch wood" should take priority...It has been a top seller for sammy..
