Akshath, 14 Jun 2011Hi, can we upgrade android on bada wave 2 mobile... Dude, u shouldn't say it as "upgrade to Android".. UPGRADE is the word meant for update for the same OS with a new version. And Wave/Wave 2 does not contain Android. It has the so called BADA OS. So, u call it as "Porting Android to Wave 2". And, officially u can't get Android on Wave 2.
But guys at XDA forums are successful in porting Android 2.2 to Wave 1 (not to Wave 2 yet). That is unstable at the moment. But given the pace at which they have been working, I can say an usable port would be available in an another 2 months (with almost all the android and mobile functions working). And for Wave 2 it would take a little more time. But again Wave/Wave 2 were not designed to run Android. So no port will be 100% successful and the performance would generally be not up to the mark. And such ports are bound to be with hell number of bugs.
So if u are planning to buy Wave 2 and get Android on to it.. I recommend don't do it. Get an Android device. If you have Wave/Wave 2 already wait for some more time (may be 3 months) to get Android on it.

Seriously, bang/bump the bottom of the phone against your palm. Just put a little pressure when you do it. Worked for me. :-)

hw to update samsung aps applicati... morebetter u hard reset ur wave! a hard reset takes it back to the condition U got it out of the box. Backup ur data before hard reset. Copy ur phonebook with Kies 1st. It'll backup all your contacts, & then it is easy to transfer them back. to hard reset ur phone do the following...
1. Turn off the phone
2. Take the SIM-card out
3. Turn the phone on again
4. Write *2767*3855#
5. Afterwards this process, which can take a while, things should be back to factory reset (You will get back Asphalt if that was on the phone from start etc.)
6. Put in the SIM-card again
7. DONE

I did little reserch on how much ram memory do WAVE S8500 have and based on this video of android 2.2.1 Froyo by XDA DEV, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjqvI9fcSak&feature=channel_video_title , wich shows that 212MB RAM is available after booting android Froyo . Officially we know that android Froyo (on Galaxy S , given that the softwere is the same as Galaxy S) takes exactly 300MB of RAM to boot . That answer the bigest question about Samsung Wave . Build on RAM memory is 512MB .

You know what, I have been using this phone from Aug-2010 and its battery never lasted more than 2.5 days in any sort of use. Normally I charge it daily.
Can anyone explain me what is that MODERATE/HEAVY use???
your battery life looks funny to me.
do you use your phone or simply posting your standby times???
I listen music for 1 hour, around 150 texts, 15 min Games and 45 min of voice calls, my phone lasts 1 day that's it and is enough for me.

Samsung should consider making another nice little phone like the S8500. This handset is almost perfect already! Customers like me need a good alternative to these huge, encumbrant 4'+ phones...
Give us a new wave with 3.3' - 3.5' super amoled + display, aluminium unibody, 8mp shooter, 1080p recording, etc; running on the latest android version...
Such a handset would be an instant hit!

i just wish we got metal gear solid games in this phone, or in other phone, the MGS in iphone is nogood, i like brother in arm and splinter cell, and it a shame that we can only have 120 icon ( games or apps) wish i can get more, i dunno what bada 2.0 will gonna be, wish it be much better then the old one, i dunno what samsung was thinking when they make a new OS, when someone want to make new os and succeed in it it must be different from the other and be better too, but bada is like the other os, it doesnt have something shining on it, and again for samsung if u want to people choose ur OS u should make something different, and we wish bada 2.0 will be different if not i dont think people will choose bada anymore, it s a good move to sell not expensive phone (wave) but people look at the OS too, samsung has to learn from their mistakes. anyway wave is a good mobile.
