        Use Wave for a week. Now I notice it whenever i set a new ringtone or wallpaper, it duplicated the same file from other subfolder to its main folder. Why?

        Example:
        ABC.mp3 was storing in My Files/Music/New ringtones/
        but once i set it as ringtone or alert tone,
        it copied another ABC.mp3 to the main music folder itself. And so the same goes to wallpapers.

        Anyone know how to avoid this?

My friend's 5800 works fine even after 1.5 years. Many wave owners have complained about wave and although they have got replacement but what after one year. You will not get any replacement. Wave is not good phone except screen and processor.

This will disconnect you Fone from all wireless connections. It will let your fone stop searching for signals thus saving power. This is what I think. Guys correct me if I'm wrong...

                    see the daily interest of wave and then of 5800. 5800 is 2 years old but it can beat wave in many aspects. Ha ha ha. All wave owners. Enjoy super amoled and 3 games and 4 apps. 5800 has a high res. Screen and thousands of games and apps. Oh ho we forgot n-gage gaming. Dats amazing on my 5800. Long live nokia.

                      Where I work there is no reception. When I move to an area with reception it seems to take the wave a long time before it allows me to make a call. It will say 'emergency calls only' even if I have several bars. It seems like if I send a text message it fixes this problem. Anyone know how to change the settings so it updates the power save mode manually?

                        1) Go to "Menu" screen
                        2) Click on "Settings" icon
                        3) Click "Applications"
                        4) Click "Email"
                        5) Click "Email accounts"
                        6) Click on "New" button to create new email account.
                        7) Choose "Exchange ActiveSync"
                        8) Then fill in the info as below:

                        Email address : your gmail email address
                        Password : your gmail password
                        Domain : leave it blank

                        Server : m.google.com
                        SSL : On

                        That's all. Now your Samsung WAVE is rocking.
                        Cheers. Hope you can understand the step described.

                        ** Note: you can further configure how "PUSH Sync" work in the "MENU" > "My Account".

                        Thank you.

                            Guys and girls, this phone is the best samsung phone ever made apart from the Galaxy new one. And all those people who use i-phone 4, keep in mind that apple has many "cons" than pros. Also keep in mind that new i-phone has a reception fault in it so Apple is re-designing it for them to launch the new batch. It's true that loads of i-phones 4 sold out here in UK but i'm sure this Samsung phone will have more consumer demand soon and a better sales. However, this Samsung phone rocks. Really it does.So all the people out there who's planning to buy this..just go for it! You will not regret having this.
