Samsung Gobal center, 03 Aug 2010just reply on this post if u have any comments n questions ... moreOur major problem here is Connecting to KIES. It always Says that "Connecting to device" .Fix this Problem.We all are fed up connecting the phone.Why don't u make this simple since it is very complicated.HOPE U WILL ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.
Another major problem is when we download zip/RAR/DIVX files it says unsupported format and we are not able to download.If we store this in memory card we can unzip using Wave compressor but direct download cannot.Address this issue also.

i have checked the version as
*#1234# and found
S8500JPJE5 S8500JPJE5
and also checked *#1111# and found FTA SW VERSION : S8500.010
and also checked *#2222# FTA SW VERSION : REV1.3
few things we need to update in Wave such as;
1) I have checked the contact list and it shows only 1 field not second field which is very necessary for e.g.
Name
Company Name
2) Email reterive very old also whenever connect to reterive

irvinehooi, 03 Aug 2010Anyone of you here used firmware version JF3 ?? If yes, ho... moreJF3 is the latest FW if you update through Kies downloaded from Samsung Singapore website.
I have just updated. No significant changes or upgrade if ask me. I previously enjoyed the JEA firmware. The battery will long last to 4.5 days.
Hopefully, JF3 can boast the battery life to 5 or six days.

Wave Rocks, 03 Aug 2010There is already a Skyp on WAVE with 3 network in UK, I am ... moreWho said Skype is on Wave for some networks in UK? I can't find Skype in any app store yet as far as I am concerned. I just hope premium social hub is working for every network. As you know, preinstalled Palringo is hopeless and people will lose their interest in Wave, without IM apps.
I am an IT guy and used to use Windows mobile all the time. I need remote desktop software for that. I was pretty disappointed with Wave due to exchange sync wasn't working well and lack of useful apps. With the XXJG5 FW, I am pretty happy now. Wave itself is the best phone at the moment for its features and price. Wave has a lot of nice built-in features such as privacy locks, mobileAp, DLNA, etc.. that some of the double priced smartphones lack.
Samsung Kies is a joke and has lots of region restrictions. You have to trick it to get the FW you want. I am from NZ and Samsung has no plan yet to release Wave here. And I can't get my own FW so, I have to use Europe FW for my Wave.
Well, thanks to Samsung Firmware World website, I get all the FW updates I want. If I rely on Kies, FW update will never happen to me.
Wave's hardware is one of the highest specs at the moment and no fault issues at all. It has a front camera, decent main camera, FM radio, best audio and video, best screen, large battery and all the stuffs you name it.
Only problems and issues are from SW and Apps side. But it will be fixed within a few months hopefully.
Well, at least I am happy to know Sammy is working hard on that. And I think all the Wave's features will unlock within the next 6 months.
