i tot early bird can get the lower prices discount =((

Use BetterBatteryStats app to check for any wakelocks where it can pinpoint which app is running on background when your screen is off.
Try not to use task killer as certain system apps that you killed will start open up again and again thus drain more of your battery instead of saving it.
Use task killer on roque app only.

Do not use taskkillers it will only drain battery
There is no need to use such stuffs
Use betterybatterystats app to check your battery usage and wakelocks

I hope can get a pouch or casing when the phone arrive from alieamin
:::pray pray:::

Digi facebook already posting up some galaxy note photo already, could be they will launch it on this fri together with celcom and all the SEP ?

Benny,
Which case you talking about?
This?

thanx benny and ww

there is a story about task killing actually eating up more battery when the android os automatically fire up processes. Android system internally manages the process that is why we don't use task killer to kill tasks.

Does your area has good 3g connection? try switching it to 2g mode only and test for a day or two.

You can download elixir 2 from the market to check which process eats up ur cpu %. Hope that helps.

This is taken from my post at gaLAXY S II THREAD:


. Is it necessary to use Task Killers to manage my memory and battery life ??

This is a debatable topic. Personally I don't use any Task Killers. The official stand from Google is Task Killers are unnecessary for Androids.
I quote from Google :

By default, every application runs in its own Linux process. Android starts the process when any of the application's code needs to be executed, and shuts down the process when it's no longer needed and system resources are required by other applications.
A content provider is active only while it's responding to a request from a ContentResolver. And a broadcast receiver is active only while it's responding to a broadcast message. So there's no need to explicitly shut down these components.
Activities, on the other hand, provide the user interface. They're in a long-running conversation with the user and may remain active, even when idle, as long as the conversation continues. Similarly, services may also remain running for a long time. So Android has methods to shut down activities and services in an orderly way.

Watch this video and brief summary of it :



Almost everyone has used these at one point in their Android life. And in most cases, reps at carrier retail stores will install these upon buying any of their Android phones with or without your knowledge. Its part of this HUGE misconception that Android needs these to run properly. Couldn't be further from the truth.

Everyone knows one of the main benefits with Android is the fact that it, unlike certain other OS's, can run apps in the background. And the more RAM on your phone, the more apps you can have open at one time for true multitasking. This is one of the reasons RAM is a highly sought after spec when comparing Android devices.

Most people know Android sucks when it comes to battery life. It's definitely a problem in Android. We know this. The misconception a lot of people have is that the reason for the horrible battery life is largely in part because of all the apps "running" in the background. This is one of the reasons these misinformed reps install these Task Killer apps onto phones thinking they're helping, but they're not. First, Android doesn't necessarily keep apps "running" in the background like a car. Using gas/CPU without you knowing. Android will pause those apps until you return to them. If you don't come back to the app for awhile, Android will eventually close the app altogether.

The other misconception people have with using a task killer is that it's some how making their phone faster. This usually has something to do with the thought that "freeing up RAM" is going to make your phone speedier and quicker when doing everyday tasks (I used to believe this as well). But not so. First off, even if you close out 20 apps in the background, 20 more will open up in their place. Like Bebe's Kids. They don't die -- they multiply. Resistance is futile. Second, it's not like Android keeps running apps in the background until you're completely out of RAM. That would cause your phone to completely freeze and lock up. Instead, it will begin closing the oldest apps still open in the background to make space for new ones. I mean think about it, do you have to manage the RAM on your home computer? No. It just works, right? Same with Android.

But just like your computer, there are those times when things go wrong. Sometimes an app can misbehave and become unresponsive. Or perhaps you changed some options in an app and it needs to be closed/killed/stopped so that it can be opened and refreshed. Or maybe you have a game that has gone rogue and really is, in fact, running in the background sucking CPU and RAM and causing your phone to run to a crawl. It's only in these rare occasions that using a task manager is acceptable. Even then, for your average user, a simple reboot will solve these rare problems.

So for techy people that like to monitor and micro manage everything that goes on in their phone, yes, using a task manager is acceptable. But for your average soccer mom/gf/grandma/Joe Schmo, there really is no excuse for them to have these apps installed on their phone. More often than not, they're going to ruin their user experience with the phone, doing more harm than good, and it will cause them to run to the iPhone where they don't have to worry about this sorta stuff. So with that. I am done here, folks. I hope this Public Service Announcement helped shed some light on a murky subject with Android. Now go uninstall that Task Killer. Now.

elixir 2 is good. thanx. those samsung apps deserve a kill. because i dont use it

I seldom download anything from Samsung Apps

the flip pouch is nice, but for me it's not really practical..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOlJbJnvpfw

they said got magnetic for the flip cover but from the vids it seems like it just loose..

2 more days to launch & yet no info was shown on Celcom/DiGi's website ?!?! I remember Celcom did quite a lot in promoting N9 a couple of months ago before it was launched but until today, nothing has been done for GNote ... strange !!

normally what i do after i root my device is to freeze all samsung apps, haha they are useless

and i just got news from my preorder that it is indeed coming in with a leather pouch.

may i know where you make your pre-order.?

i preorder with bro lhongwuh. u can search for his threads.

is white available in the 1st batch?

on the news yes.
