Tips to increase maximum recipients of messages for samsung wave

Tips to increase maximum recipients of messages for samsung wave

How to increase maximum recipients of messages



Follow these steps if you want to try and use at your own risk.

1. You can connect your wave to computer with either Samsung Kies or USB debugging mode.
2. Run Stune.exe(Available in the Applications section)
3. You will see "Samsung Mobile Modem V2" with usb icon in device list.
4. Double click on the device and Stune is connected with Wave now and you will see it's properties such as model #, Firmware, etc..
5. Go to "Browser" tab and double click on "Registry" and a list of registry comes up.
6. Right click on "MsgSetting.ini" and Click on "Copy" and save it somewhere such as Desktop.
7. Open the "MsgSetting.ini" with a notepad or something.
8. Change the setting as you desire and save it.
9. Go back to Stune windows and right click "MsgSetting.ini" and copy your save file from computer to Stune. Drag and drop method only works here. I think you can override it but Stune will not ask you any confirmation for that.
10. After that you disconnect your phone and reboot it. And that's it

In the MsgSetting.ini change sms_rcpt_max_count=10
to sms_rcpt_max_count=20

This will make the maximum recipients value to 20.

bada apps is Unhackable .

Now way to crack or hack bada samsung wave apps and games . 

Quote:

Secure File Access With the increasing number of media purchases issued from handhelds, it has become necessary to restrict content distribution without adversely affecting content consumers. This is done through DRM protection on files. The most secure and commonly used standards for file distribution level security are OMA DRM 1.0, OMA DRM 2.0, and WMDRM. All of these are supported by bada through user friendly, open APIs.

Quote:

Integrity of Applications With the possibility of freely creating and publishing bada applications in the Samsung Apps store comes the necessity for securing those applications, too. Samsung bada secures the integrity of applications through certification before uploading the app for distribution through the store. Samsung bada also supports application-level DRM to enforce application licenses only for legitimate users. Therefore, bada application sellers can choose DRM protection for their applications inside of the Samsung Apps store.

Quote:

Cryptographic Primitives

Samsung bada provides a robust set of cryptography tools to handle various encryption and decryption tasks. Key features include:
Hash functions including Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC)
Symmetric encryption: Single key
Asymmetric encryption: Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
AES, DES, 3DES and RSA algorithms
Digital signature support

bada also supports the creation of public key certificates (also called digital certificates or identity certificates), which are used to validate the identities of people and organizations.

Tips to detect minor screen damages on samsung wave

here's a method to detect minor screen damage for samsung s8500 wave which is not usually visible due to brightness and high quality screen.
- Switch off your mobile and go to a very dark room.
- Now switch on your mobile.
- Now you'll see a greyish kind of screen before 'Samsung Wave GT-S8500' is displayed.This screen will last only for 1-2 seconds.
- Now a normal (out of the box) wave will show a full grey screen.
- But if you see dark spots or dark line it indicates minor damage due to excessive or hard tapping.
Mine actually has 6-7 small black spots (0.5 mm radius approximate).

If you see a black line (Very rare), it may indicate shift in LED panel due excessive pressure.

- you can also view the grey screen if you press the power button for 2 seconds when switched off. If u press for more than 2 sec the mobile will turn on.
NOTE: This grey screen is visible only for 1-2 seconds and only in a very dark room with no light.

4 tips to improve your samsung wave battery life

Your Batt will improve after being conditioned, couple of Charge-Drain Cycle.

1. Put brightness to 1 coz 1 is still clear even under the sun.
2. Put Backlight Time to 8 Secs, but be snappy enough to beat that.
3. Network Mode - GSM Only
4. Network Selection - Manual

Another useful guide

1. Use 400x800 resolution pictures for background/wallpapers (instead of the ones embed on the phones).. in that way.. less loading in terms of pixels.. meaning faster response and less CPU usage
2. Under sound profiles,(whichever sound profiles your using) set vibration feedback to "2" or better off disable it (turn it off) as vibration consumes much battery life rather than ringtones.
3.Optional: Under general - event notifications, you may want to turn it off (or untick all under notification) as it causes lag whenever you receives messages and other stuffs like updates.. besides you'll still have other alerts enabled.. you'll notice undisturbed gaming and surfing upon turning this off.

after doing this steps you'll notice a big change in your samsung s8500 wave battery life
