Don't think so battery change will help. I have changed my battery but there is no improvement. It seems that some programs runs in background which drains battery....:(

It seems this issue is India as I have seen on other forum wave owners outside India get good battery life....

It seems samsung has supplied inferior batteries in India for Wave....

Battery will drain frm 100% to critical with 4hrs of GPS usage(personally tested, everyone was trying to find a fault in my device & I gav it to them using GPS, LOL)......... best option would be to buy charger in car......

Honestly battery life is a bit of a disappointment....... but considering my last phone was N-Gage Classic I hav no complaints.... battery use to drain in 2hrs of music playback.....

There should hav been some option of underclocking the CPU or GPU to save battery........
 
Re: Samsung Wave S8500 India release??

i have no complaints, i used GPS all the way to haridwar, browsed internet, played asphalt for 10-12min :p, still the battery last till night

@arpan

sorry bro...didn't see ur post..

did u try any java games from the website?
how did they perform...any recomendations.?:)
 
Re: Samsung Wave S8500 India release??

i think that i'm also facing battery problem. i charged the phone to 100% & had no apps or wigets running. also my phone was idle for the whole day except only 10 mins of phone calls & 1 hr of music and moreover i only have one hame screen. with this usage i had my battery down to 25% at the end of the day. i guess that this is not acceptable & probably will check for a day or two more. if situation doesn't improve will have to get it replaced.

also the "Settings -> About phone -> System info -> Battery" shows battery life different than the two apps i.e "BatteryCheck" & "BatteryLife". this is always the case & with huge difference. while both the apps shows exactly the same % of battery remaining.

At present i can just get my current location but when i try to navigate it takes me to activation and there it says Drive and walk would cost me some money, did you pay for your navigation or was it free ? did you get voice turn instructions.

I am asking because i read at lot of places that drive and walk is free for first 30 days but that does not seem to be true in my case.
 
Re: Samsung Wave S8500 India release??

If you guys think Wave is a disappointment in terms of battery life then what should I say about the battery life of Galaxy S ? :) Wave has very good battery life ..
 
Re: Samsung Wave S8500 India release??

Battery life also depends a lot on the Network signal. The battery is drained faster with a weak network signal. At an average getting like 2 days is enough.

MODS pleeeease make this thread sticky,,, the no. of wave owners is increasing :)
 
Re: Samsung Wave S8500 India release??

i used my gps for the first time yesterday as i got some clear sky & also traveled by car instead of my two wheeler. it works flawlessly & also shows the speed with which the car was moving. it was more or less accurate in showing my position in real time without any lag as such.

now i want to try the voice guided navigation. don't know how to start the same. someone please guide me for the same.

Re: Samsung Wave S8500 India release??

HEy.. Can some of you guys post your batch no. or something...

Im going to buy.. and i think buying a wave of a newer batch would be good.. little problems may have been ironed out... or perhaps a better battery..

Thnks..
 
@HoliC

Just buy the wave regardless batch period, even if you get a weak battery you can get it replaced at a service centre. I got mine replaced and now getting 2 to 2 n 1/2 days of battery life.
REMEMBER:
This is really important:

When u buy the wave drain the battery fully then charge it till 100% only, dont overcharge it. then again let the battery drain completely. with every charge the battery life will improve. Do this for about 6 - 8 times and your battery will be optmized and give u a good backup.
Hope this helps.
