QUOTE(TheLaptopDudeGuy @ Oct 11 2011, 10:05 AM) try to do factory reset and see if still got serious drain, if no, then it must be one of ur apps. yeah just go to settings about phone and battery usage, take a screenshot, then click the top where there is a graph, and take a screenshot. consider getting betterbatterystats, it can help you determine whats causing ur batt drain betterbatterystats need to pay one =.="" It wasn't draining like this last week. Just these few days. Hmm..

Sometimes you update to different rom, old files from previous roms are downloaded into your device and can cause problems. Thats why it is recommended to use apps such as TB where you can choose what to restore.

QUOTE(Mollai @ Oct 11 2011, 10:16 AM) wow, some app is keeping ur phone awake big time, look at the awake tab, even though ur phone is in standby, ur phone is awake about 70-80% of the time, this is caused by an app, not the phone itself.

Gaah, just tried out my camera on a piece of white paper and I could see the whole thing turn pink in the center.
I am already running KI3 and updated to the latest camera firmware. I think the pink spot is due to how the sensor deals with low light, because the second the picture becomes brighter / the LED is used, it disappears
