Mickey, 24 Jan 2011Is there a live wallpaper available for Samsung wave2 ? What do you mean by a live wallpaper?

An animated '.gif' image, I reckon.

Animated '.gif' is of course a compatible file format in Wave II and you can set it as a wallpaper as well.

      Some of those are free and some cost you few bucks.

      A few good themes of my choice which are still free,

      Postage, Blue Swift, Stoney, Leather etc.

      But please check asap for their free availability.

                  here is the post

                  Here is the way...
                  Type *#197328640#
                  Click the button 5 ( Audio )
                  Click the button 2 ( AP, Volume Config)
                  Click on the button 2 (EAR Config )
                  Click the button 1 (volume PM) - to increase the volume of music files or the 5 key (FM Radio volume ) - Radio
                  We can see the 7 lines (0-6 ) , we can increase the value of
                  all lines (these are the lines that define the level at each
                  support ), you can change any of them or increase only
                  last value of 58dB to 75dB and 100db max .

                  To enter double digit, for 0 line press 0 on the number pad it will say write on the top right hand corner on the screen. just tap on the bar 3 to 4 times quickly below the number key pad and then another keypad should open. enter desired number and press ok twice...done.

                  NOTE: sometimes u have to press many times to open another keypad.........

                          Hey people :) i bought my samsung waveII yesterday for 16990, ts metallic black and i love the screen n music a lot! touch is great!
                          I wanted to know certain things however from those who already own and are using it
                          1. I didnt like dolphin browser v2.2 here in waveII and for some dumb reason opera mini isnt installing!! it gets stuck on installing n then goes back to ask always section
                          2. how to movw msgs from sim to phone? i want the old msgs from my previous phone on to my waveII
                          3. is it worth downloading route 66 maps? are they detailed n accurate for mumbai?
                          Now for certain things i experienced-
                          t9 trace is very good but as i write in hindi too it gets lil annoying but thats ok
                          ppl the black background in the samsung waveII pic shown top left may look grey but in reality the theme is black and it definitely is black! its black enough alrite!

So far i have used phones which do not have this feature. I am slowly getting used to this threaded view with this samsung phone. One more thing i would like to share with you is that the samsung apps contains fewer applications but still those applications are richer and more productive than applications in other platforms. I purchased this phone 2 weeks ago. I found that the battery life of this phone is decent as long as you are not using gps. All in all you can go for this phone you will really get value for your money.
