Blue, 15 Aug 2010Hi guys, yesterday after much research i finally got my Met... moreBlue.

1.) Your memory card is probably formatted in the wrong format. If you have a laptop with card reader, then put ur mc in a card adaptor and then insert it in ur laptop. Otherwise, Get a card reader, they come pretty cheap. And connect that via usb.

Then format your memory card in FAT32 format and things will be okay.

2.) When you Go to the VCF File stored in your "Others" folder, you should see an option for "Register to contacts". Click on that and you're good to go.

    Has anyone used Layar on the Wave yet? I see it is free on the app store! When using Layar do you have to pay for it? Or is it just the cost of using the internet?

        and for the battery I think you should fully charge it at first.

            Blue, 15 Aug 2010Hi guys, yesterday after much research i finally got my Met... moreive had the same problem in other phones with the memory card.what seems to happen is that sometimes a phone wont reconize another phones format.it happened to me with some lg phones.what you need to do is copy everything on your card to your computor and then format your memory card and then put it in your wave.the card should now be recognized by your phone.now you can copy everything back to you card.

              Review in 'Live' Magazine in the Mail on Sunday today and it says the WAve has a poor Operating System. Anyone agree? I have heard its very good!

              I am getting my Wave tomorrow! What is the best thing to do with the battery? Is it best to drain it first then fully charge? or fully charge before using?

According to him, it is the hottest handset of the year (yet) and he told me that Wave is flying off the shelf in all the stores across India.

                        (He has only 1 store but he would know more about the phone market circle)

                          Cant say about 1 because I dont use mms. :)

                          2.) Cant load Samsung apps ? Are you connected to wifi ?? If yes, can you browse internet on your phone using wifi ?

                          3.) For the camera, go into settings, there is an Anti Shake option there. Choose that.

                          4.) Go to your inbox and click on "..." and go into settings >> Receiving option >> Email size >> Entire email.

                          5.) Your widgets are gone by themselves ?? I have not faced that problem. :-s Are you sure you dont kill them by pressing the menu button for a second and then hitting "End all applications" Button ??

                            well wave is getting a bit boring right now.. i saw android on my friend's htc and it far more better than bada os. the only good thing about wave is the hardware , but software wise, it sucks.. now i regret buying this phone i should have chose an android phone instead. how sad

                            regard amir from india

                            note: wave is very popular here . but now the sales of wave decreased because many people started to realize that bada os is not really a smarphone

                                        Which for quite a while was one of Galaxy S's widely advertised feature here in india.I just hope swype makes it to bada too! that should probably make it awesomer
