My telco only have PIN1 and PUK1. But inside Samsung WAVE, it allow user to change "Call Cost" under "Log Manager" and it needs PIN2 and PUK2.

Actually, I myself doesn't know what is "Call Cost" about. That's why I want to try to configure it then the phone is asking for PIN2. As I know PUK2 is the only code to unlock PIN2.

Thanks.

        Hi,

        Does anyone know what is the "Admin" code for Samsung WAVE ?? I've heard that in this mode we can set a lot of configuration.

        Just want to find out whether in this mode it has the ability to unlock the phone or not if the user have locked the phone by key in wrong PIN1 / PIN2 / PUK1 / PUK2.

        Thanks.

                          Hi just bought a 2nd hand sim free wave. the phone is on t-mobile but unlocked so my orange sim works fine. there are applications, eg. one called mobiletv on the phone which attempts to connect to t-mobile's service unsuccessfully.
                          Also there are other t-mobile related applications, data and settings which I want to delete eg. I have set the browser homepage to google but the browser ignores this and defaults to a t-mobile service. All this makes the phone very frustrating to use.
                          Please, does anyone know how to get rid of all the network stuff.

I have notifications for SamsungApps disabled, but I did that AFTER I received those updates. So I guess I won't receive them anymore, but the notification for already received updates still remains. Although it's a nice feature for the user to be informed about updates, I terribly want get rid of that. I could go through all of my 50+ installed apps and update them one by one, and I would eventualy hit those two for which I have update notifications. But to do that, it would take ages!There must be a simplier way to do it. Apart from the disassembling the phone to the tiniest parts and look for the problem :)

                                      its a good piece in every sense but not better then NOKIA x6,cos multimedia media exprience is far better in X6 both r HD but X6 does more clarity when u convert the avi movies to MPEG-4.
                                      MORAL- take nokia n u will get worth for ur money really
