System Requirements

• Microsoft Windows® XP 32-bit, Windows® Vista 32-bit, or Windows® 7 32- or 64-bit operating system
• At least dual-core 1.8 GHz CPU
• At least 2 GB of RAM memory
• At least 2.2 GB of free disk space
• Local administrator authority
• Screen resolution of the system must be greater than the resolution of the Emulator. A greater screen resolution ensures that applications using OpenGL® ES run properly on the Emulator. For example, the Emulator using the WVGA resolution works better on a computer which has a display resolution greater than 480 x 800.
• OpenGL® 1.5 supported graphics hardware for OpenGL® ES 1.1, and OpenGL® 2.1 supported graphics hardware for OpenGL® ES 2.0, with the latest version of the graphics card driver.

Known Issues

This release contains the following known issues.

IDE and SDK

• IDE
  1. When a breakpoint is added to the event handler methods, 'Step return' can operate incorrectly in target debugging.
  2. The code coverage tool does not work.
  3. While debugging, the program execution can sometimes continue despite a stepping command.
• SDK
  1. The name of the bada SDK installation directory must be in English. The directory name cannot contain space characters.
  2. The development environment can be unstable when running on the 64-bit version of Windows® Vista or Windows® 7.
  3. To debug applications on target devices with the firmware version 1.1, you need the SDK version 1.1.0. If you have multiple target devices where some use the firmware version 1.1 and others use a later firmware version, you need to have both the SDK version 1.1.0 and the latest SDK version installed on your computer. To debug on the firmware version 1.1 device, use the SDK version 1.1.0; and to debug on devices with a later firmware version, use the latest SDK.

C++ Framework

• Standard libraries
  1. Only some of the newlib APIs are supported; however, some of the unsupported APIs do not generate any build errors. For a list of supported newlib APIs, see Standard C Library in the API Reference.
• Osp::Ads::Controls
  1. In case the top-left coordinate of the Ad control is not (0,0), the Ad control clicks may not work. The Ads library can be used to avoid this issue.
• Osp::App::AppControl
  1. When an image is selected and dragged around in the Image viewer (launched through AppControl), the image exhibits some shaking motions when you run the application on the Emulator.
• Osp::Content
  1. When WhereExpr has one or more 'AND' or 'OR' operators, the ContentSearch::Search() method cannot work properly. It is recommended that you attach only one condition to the whole WhereExpr.
• Osp::Graphics
  1. If the user-specified color is partially or fully transparent, the color-related methods of TextElement do not work as expected.
  2. When the font character space is not '0', the GetTextExtent() method of the Font class does not work as expected.
  3. The text extent width of the bold style font of Wave3 is smaller than that of the Emulator.
• Osp::Locations
  1. Depending on the location, the default map service does not properly support satellite images with the zoom level 8.
  2. Geographical computations in bada are based on the WGS 84 ellipsoid model. However, some methods, such as Coordinates::GetAzimuthTo(), PolygonGeographicArea::ContainsCoordinates(), and PolygonGeographicArea::GetCenterPoint(), are based on the Mercator projection or spherical model.
• Osp::Media
  1. Some sound enhancement solutions installed on the computer, such as SRS Premium Sound, can cause sound clipping. If you encounter choppy sound or sound clipping during the player test, check and uninstall the sound enhancement solution.
  2. In the Emulator environment, the 176 x 144 and 320 x 240 video displays can be corrupted in the video AppControl.
• Osp::Social
  1. The Addressbook::GetContactIdsN() and Addressbook::GetCategoryIdsN() methods return incomplete values. For a workaround solution, see the API Reference.
• Osp::Ui
  1. The OverlayRegion::SetInputBuffer() method may not work properly when its buffer is used simultaneously by the Osp::Media::Camera or Osp::Media::Player class to display direct preview or video without callback.
  2. The SetActionBarsTranslucent() method of the Form control does not work as expected on WQVGA devices.
  3. The overlay keypad does not work properly when it is opened from a Popup instance.
  4. When the color of the progress bar is changed, the bar turns green.
  5. When the text size is changed in a TextBox instance, the LINK_TYPE_URL does not display an underline.
  6. The items in ListView are not clickable when the item description text is shown.
  7. The SetLowerCaseModeEnabled(false) method of the EditField, EditArea, and SearchBar classes does not work when auto-capitalization is turned on in the settings.
  8. If the SWF content does not use embedded images, but loads external images from a local or network location instead, each loaded image causes a memory leak.
  9. The SetTextAlignment() method of the TextBox, EditField, EditArea, and ExpandableEditArea classes does not work as expected if the target device includes a bi-directional language.
  10. If the user-specified color is partially or fully transparent, the color-related methods of all UI controls do not work as expected on WQVGA devices.
• Osp::Uix
  1. Face
     • The DetectBlinksFromVideoStreamN() method does not return EYE_STATE_BOTH_CLOSED even when the eyes are closed.
  2. Haptic
     • The StopPlayingEffect() method returns VIBE_E_INVALID_ARGUMENT instead of VIBE_W_NOT_PLAYING if it is called when the IVT file is not being played.
     • If previous effect ended and next effect is not started, the GetEffectState() method returns an exception, VIB_E_INVALID_ARGUMENT, instead of VIB_EFFECTSTATE_NOT_PLAYING.
     • The GetDeviceState() method returns unknown state value instead of the device state, VIBE_DEVICESTATE_BUSY.
  3. Voice
     • Text-to-Speech and Speech-to-Text will not be supported on Emulator after this version. If you call construct() to use Text-to-Speech and Speech-to-Text on Emulator, the E_SYSTEM exception will be returned with error log.
• Osp::Web
  1. Controls
     • The WEB_BAD_URL error does not occur when the URL starts with an unsupported scheme. Instead, the Web control displays the "URL not available" error page and delivers the WEB_ERROR_UNKNOWN error to the application.
     • Local video or audio file cannot be played properly using the HTML5 video/audio tag in the Web application or in the Web control of a C++ application.
  2. Json
     • When you use the JsonWriter::Compose(const IJsonValue* value, ByteBuffer& buffer) method, a memory leak the size of the memory allocated by the ByteBuffer::Construct() method occurs.

Web Framework

• Web Framework
  1. The Web framework supports WVGA and HVGA only.
