    [deleted post]Connect your phone to your PC/Laptop. Does it show your phone memory and card memory ??

    Or better, go to main menu >> Settings >> Memory. It will show you your memory card details. If it is not being detected...Then try hooking up your card in your Pc/laptop and format it in FAT32 format.

            Well I fixed the Samsung Apps update and installation failed problem on my Wave. I just restarted the device, turned Wi-fi on, clicked Samsung Apps, the Disclaimer came up, I accepted it, then after few seconds it said update available, clicked 'Confirm', it downloaded and then then Samsung Apps exited, in the Menu you will be able to see Samsung Apps 'Installing', like other apps it will install in about 20-30 seconds. That is it. Please tell me if that works. You just have to RESTART the device.
            Regards.

                Never drop a smartphone, even if it survives the hit, it may become less stable and crash frequently for no reason after the fall. 'Tested' on nokia n95.

                  The built quality is extremely solid and sturdy. But you cant drop it alot since one side of the phone is mostly covered in glass.

                        Blue, 19 Aug 2010On Heavy usage my battery doesnt even stands for a day, yes... moreI had the same problem. Completely discharge and charge it a couple of times to reach maximum capacity. It will recalibrate the battery capacity meter as far as I know.

                        If you live in an area with poor reception, your phone will drain the battery faster. Put it in Flight Mode to turn off the GSM radio.

                              I have been struggling around to keep my wave running for more than 2 days on single charge but it can't, i visited Samsung service centre and they just scratched the battery contacts telling me that it might be due to the carbon on the contacts. Surprisingly, it worked for a day or two but then it again shows same battery draining problem. I think, I have to get it replaced as no other option seems working. My friend is having Wave too and his wave lasts for 3 days on heavy usage.

                                Guys, does anybody know how to keep charging off while connecting the Wave to PC via Kies or Mass Storage mode?

                                  Had a look at Ebony Gray and metallic black in shops. The Ebony gray almost looks purple in some lights which I'm not sure I like. Has anyone else noticed the purple look? The black did look nice but the gray is different and more metal looking.
