[deleted post]After i bought the wave it hardly lasted for 1.5 days. But after going through several charge cycles it lasts for 3-4 days. Aitoami told the right thing. At first you have to go through several charge cycles to get the full performance of wave.

    Hi All,

    I have activate my GPRS on my new samsung wave but i cant run any video's on it example youtub,metacafe. When i click on a video its says conneting - try again. I have even tried opening News video's but still the same problem.

    Have a nice day guys ... !
    Thanks,
    Jonathan T

                  Charge your Wave untill it shows- Full.

                  Then use it untill it drains fully.

                  After repeating this 5-8 times, then the battery is optimised and full performance is achieved.

                  After that, charge Wave when it shows 30% battery life left.

                  Hope, you'll get the full performance.

                      I can't my phone to KIES. I do have the latest version of KIES but I plugged my phone it says 'Connected' on the Phone screen but KIES says the Phone is not connected. I have no application running on my phone and also on my PC, even I disabled my Norton. For the first time it showed 'Found a new hardware' and now that message is even gone. Please tell me a simple way to get connected to KIES.
                      Thanks in advance.

                        And you want more!!
                        Remember Wave is running 1GHz processor, 512 Mb of RAM while you browsing.

                        No other Smart Phone nor even Feature Phones can last this long. My laptop can't even last that long.
