DK, 18 Feb 2011Its a Nice Phone Just have it 5.1 CH sound will amaze yo... moreThere is an application called Bday reminder. install that and it will do exactly what you need. Apart from syncing with facebook you can also add reminders for other bdays etc..

    Guys, in my Wave II i noticed that when a Call comes in, the Ringtone Volume is low for the first second or two and then it rings in the Normal Loud Volume.
    Is this by design or what ? Anybody else experiencing the same ?

        Hello guyz....

        Finally, I got my Wave 2 two days back n i just Luv my wave :) Its simply awesome.... The sceen clarity is amazing and the processing speed is superbbb even after running plenty of apps at once... The cam is extra ordinary n the touch response and all the features r simply amazing.. I got it for 17,650/- @ chennai. In the mobile stores like Universal n mobile stores they r selling it for 18k.. I dnt hav any issues till now n I'm jst eagerly waiting for the major update of Bada OS 2.0

        Thanks alot for all the people who wrote their valueble reviews & made me to buy dis phone :)

        Cheers,
        Venky..

                  For all those who complain the poor battery backup:

                  (1st thing...I dont get why people dont read the past QnAs...and keep on inquiring the same questions again n again in this forum...all need the shortcut..haan? no one have the time to read out the previous posts!!)

                  anyway....do a few tweaks to increase the battery life...what i recommend are:

                  1. Setting> connectivity > mobile AP> setting > switch it OFF

                  2. Setting > Location > Location services > switch it OFF

                  3. Display brightness....change to 4 or 5

                  4. Dial *#8740# and switch to "AP UART mode" (if its in CP UART mode..else its ok)

                              Hi guys, after 1 week of using wave II my impressions of it are: GOOD IN: Build quality, Screen(comparable to Samoled),Video recorder,Battery(with average use i get >2days life-which is great for a smartphone) AVERAGE IN: Bada OS,Camera,Telephony,Web browser POOR IN: Document viewer(cant open files >15-20 Mb), Navigation(built in software is trial only),Outdoor screen visibility.
                              I couldnt find anything grossly wrong with loud speaker performance(as mentioned in GSMA site)
                              Areas which need improvement: i)Body is too smooth to handle safely, should have some rough surface for a confident grip ii)Document viewer and inbuilt navigation softwares need improvement III)Bada application store.
                              These features at such price(got it for Rs.17,000/- at Cochin) make a good package. Overall Wave II is value for money gadget.

                                  Hi Guys....

                                  The Samsung Navigation(LBS) does not work on my Wave II.
                                  I am from Bangalore, but the app always displays my location as New Delhi.Do we have to download some routes?
                                  Any help is really appreciated.

                                  Thanks!
