Those new users facing battery issues, do read page 1 post #4 Q 16 .

Monitor your battery usage starting off from a clean slate. You can clear battery stats if you have recovery installed or use the free app BatteryCalibration

And it is safe and will not spoilt your phone to have it always on charge

Just as a guide :

Overnight 7 hours period : with 3G disabled - battery drop 3-5%

Overnight 7 hours period: with 3G on and active data refresh updates ( 3 email accounts every 15 mins, few apps RSS, newsfeed, tweeter every 30-60 mins ) : 20-25 %

Day use 7 am till 7 pm : full charge till 10 % left
Usage : 3G always on and sometimes thro WiFi when available - active data refresh updates ( 3 email accounts every 15 mins, few apps RSS, newsfeed, tweeter every 30-60 mins, weather updates every 4 hours . Browsing - about 2 hours, phone calls/SMs about 10, no gaming

If you use your phone a lot for gaming or use it as wifi hotspot, the battery will drains a lot. Example using it as wifi hotspot , be prepared a drain of 20 % in an hour

Penang and Klcc..They HAVE stock..but the Klcc branch has a rather long waiting list. Other than that. I have no idea any where in Kl has it. If any1 has any idea where we can get walk in purchase. DO POST IT..

Read from somewhere, using data package will use up more battery compare to wifi.

at last...i'm SGS2 owner. Uncle benny please add me to the stat.

but my android journey got some hiccups.other than my 1st experience on android, it seem the phone auto disconnect from network(telco) every 15 minutes..more or less.after restart the phone then it disconnect again after a while.did i messed up the system?

any help possible?

I read all the posts today and this question pops up like 2-3 times. Yes ... can be very upsetting if such simple questions are asked repeatedly and every one just come in here and ask thinking we are Android Google.

data counter widget is even better with more features. it is free app

Thanks for Uncle Benny, but as i said i never install this type of program cause i'm using DiGi Smartplan. But i think it is useful for those who are using Maxis data plan & new users since today this question has been pop out few times.

Install call meter 3g from market and u can even set ur voice call, sms plan 3g & know ur monthly usage

Actually biasa la..i sometime lazy wan read too. tak sabar want use ma XD XD XD

anyone having problem wz installing google navi as per uncle's link on page 1?

As far as i know for 3G watch dog doesnt have that function, it just recorded down how much download & upload data has been used once your turn on data, but need to be careful also i heard when u used your phone as wifi hotspot it wont record the data volume has been used by your laptop/PC/other devices which connected to your phone.

thanks for the detailed benchmark, this will help a lot

same problem here lol, the big is small, small is big
