Hi guys , sold my Wave 2 days back. As Using it alongside Galaxy S did not make much sense. The only thing I am missing from Wave is the excellent excellent sound quality through earphones. One are where this phone is the king :) Good luck with your Waves ..

i have tried that buddy, still the same battery backup... it's now 22 hours since i charged my phone, the battery is at 62%... usage are:-
1 hour of call.
1 hour music.
15 mins of browsing on mobile.

the brightness is at 1, no widgets and no app running in the background... :p
Click to expand...
I guessing the 1 hour of music is on headfones.. :p
Hmmm.. whats your firmware ?? DDJF2 seems to be the latest stable firmware..

I was on DDJF2 when i bought the phone.. and today i upgraded for the first time to DDJH1..

Samsung KIES is so pathetic... no information is given whatsoever.. damn... had to wait for 2hrs for the firmware to finish downloading.. no file size given... :mad:

Nokia is so polished with its PC sync softwares..

Any ways Installed DDJH1 successfully and none of data was erased.. thankfully..

Its Still Bada v1.0 and no extra apps..

Well phone seems a little quicker.. or i wonder if its just me.. :p

will post more if i find anything.. ;)

Guys need help, Was upgrading to the latest DDJH1 from DDJE7 firmware. Kies downloaded and started upgrading and then came the message....'problem upgrading firmware, recovery required'.

I followed the instructions of disconnecting and turning OFF the phone(which I had to do by removing the battery). And when I pressed the recovery mode by pressing, Power + Vol down+ Camera key a red colored 'download mode' appeared'. Now the Kies is unable to recognise my Wave, no matter what.

So, any suggestions here or do I have to now visit the customer service center?

Updated my wave successfully to DDJH1 using Kies. It took me 1.5 hours to complete the process. No problems whatsoever.
Will let u all know if i come across any noticeable differences. Hope atleast this update improves my battery life.
Fingers crossed... ;)

There are lot of issues with Samsung Kies....

Kies is recognizing my phone but when I click on Samsung Apps in the kies I get this strange message "This mobile phone is not supported by samsung apps"

and I am not able to install any new apps. Is anyone facing same issue?

Also while upgrading it shows new firmware is available in the pop-up but when I click on it shows message as "The device does not support Firmware Upgrade"

Is any one facing this issue?
