      I was having problem with Wave battery life, it was only giving 2 days battery backup at the best. I tried to look for any settings on the web but nothing found. Yesterday, I found some information posted on Samsung Mobile Community website and it says that the battery can last for 4 days if we enable this mode

      "Wave is operating in the wrong mode which is what is making the battery drain down so fast. Anyway, was told to key in *#8740# when you do this you will see a message saying something like "AP UART mode enabled" if you key in the code again this will toggle the phone into "CP UART" mode. You should be in AP mode to extend battery life. Just key in the code again till the phone says "AP UART mode enabled"

      Well, I have enabled the AP UART mode and waiting to see if any battery backup is increased, will update the results soon

        Anyway, I got a 3G connection and Its giving me the same problem while using Mobile Ap. It says "Cant connect to packet service".

        I even called Mtnl care and asked them to send me the settings for wireless tethering. Sadly, No1 there knew what Wireless tethering is. :(

Lucky they have a good batt, sometimes, store owners replace a new batt into some class A batteries.

                                  My experience with the Wave battery is as follows:

                                  When I first got the Wave, I immediately charged it BEFORE I even got home. So I charged it only for an hour or so while having dinner. Then I went home & charged maybe for 2-3 hours until the phone told me that battery is full. During the following two months,I never charged the battery after the battery full message appeared. I also charge by USB for a few minutes when transferring files a couple of times a week.

                                  It has been two months since I owned Wave. It now lasts 31/2 days with moderate usage(20min on the phone + 15min viewing photos/listening to songs/surfing net per day.

                                        Battery life took a nosedive after enabling twitter ,it would drop about 50% in a day and the phone seemed to be using the internet almost continuously. Used up about 20MB during the day outgoing but hardly any download. So I disabled twitter and turned off Push Sync under Accounts. Battery usage went back to normal and the phone stopped sending random data completely. There is some sort of a bug related to IM.
