My Wave is always Hot. While Charging or while downloading its damm Hot. is that normal?

is that because its made of Metal?

Even when fully charged, the battery check application shows only 85%. is that how it works?

Please reply. urgent.

                I find that the supplied earphones does not fit nicely into my ears and falls out easily, and the sound of the earphones is not great. I tried some other earphones and the sound was amazingly briliant.

                    Just to correct my previous post I managed to get Palringo working again but there still is some problem, sometimes when its running in the background it does not notify on a new message and this message never appears when opening Palringo.

                      Can any1 please try and see if they can enable Call Barring on their wave ?

                      It asks for a 4 digit password. And my phone's password is longer than that. If i type in something, it says "Incorrect User"

                      Please ! Just try and do that. I'd be grateful !

                            The instant messenger on the Wave is very bad. I use gtalk and I saw that under certain circumstances it is very easy that a message gets lost, the receiver never receives it while it seems that it was sent from Parlingo. Also it seems my Parlingo is broken now after I removed the gtalk service, I cant login anymore or add the service again. Please Sumsung give the wave users a decent native IM not this Parlingo Java crap.
