how many charge/discharge cycle you have done? Optimum battery life will only achieve after 3-4 complete charge and complete discharge cycle. I do this for every phones i had. Charge to full 100%, for the first time, keep charging it even after it reaches 100% for another 1-2 hours. Then use it until it full discharge and auto off. Repeat this cycle 3-4 times and the battery life will become better and better.

Part of the reason is to achieve the optimum battery life, part of the reason is to "calibrate" or "condition" the battery so that the battery level give the correct reading. For new battery, normally you will find the battery reading not accurate. For certain range of battery life, the battery level dropping very fast, for another range, the battery seems lasts longer.

Some will disagree on the above procedure or doubt its effectiveness but i will just continue doing this.

i heard some users say this is for existing users. all new sign up start from somewhere September will be throttled to 5kbps only. But i never reach my limit so i am not sure.

dun ask us whether it is too huge or not coz all of us here who bought it will just find the screen size "just nice".

yes, DiGi sales is a bit crazy and idiotic, they dun give contact number of their DSS or BC. Just like they dun allow customers to extend contract, need to wait until existing contract expires, stupid!!!!!!!!!!!

yes, got one from her too, should be receiving it tomorrow. Since it is so cheap, got a new piece for my wife's Desire too.

I think most likely Gingerbread not taking full advantage of the dual core architecture yet, thus the slight lag. Hopefully ICS will give significant improvement. Anyway, my Note is quite smooth. Trying and setting up ADW launcher now, it seems silk smooth currently, maybe due to new installation?

what do you mean? cannot charge properly when using the case?

i think uncle has mentioned there is no major difference in battery life for all the ROM out there.

it is hard plastic or TPU? S-Pen cannot be pull out after the case is fixed is totally fail. I like the shiny finishing and slim profile. Getting one from Spore next week or so - not fake SGP though, just generic brand. Just get a temporary casing before Case-mate or Otterbox make one for Note.

yes, my oily face leave some smudge on the screen.... sux. scare to use the S Pen too but today will receive my SP. Just RM11 with postge - check out >>this link<<.

At the moment, just take whatever available on the market first before all the popular brands release the higher end ones. But actually I found that the free SP come with my Epik case for my Desire previously pretty good, never change it after i applied it. But this time the SP for Note need to take abuse from the S Pen, so i am a bit doubtful those cheapo ones can take it or not.

very tempted to get but will wait for fellow users to test it out first - need to know whether it can withstand the abuse of S Pen flawlessly or rather "scratchlessly".

when i the next batch coming? interested in the Oleo.

Not for me, but both my office and home wifi routers are just feets or inches away from my Note.

my first scribble posted online.

Added on November 23, 2011, 12:46 pmbtw, just call the DiGi promoter who i bought the Note from. She said for DiGi set, we will not get the sms warranty confirmation, we just need to keep the receipt. They will submit a warranty report in batch to DiGi then in turn will pass to Samsung.

I think i will just go Samsung web site and do the registration myself, just to be safe.

yes, the battery life is getting better and better with each complete full charge and full discharge. Using pretty heavily yesterday to setup ADW Launcher EX. Give up touchwiz, really cannot stand the iphon-ish interface. ADW Launcher EX is silky smooth on my Note, no a slight lag at all.

yes, true... dumb website.

doing a full charge and discharge is not enough - need to do 3-4 times to improve battery life and calibrate the battery meter. I think for Note, using a spare battery is feasible, unlike Desire HD which has a filmsy battery cover - changing the battery frequently is dangerous. I have a mobile charger previously used for the DHD but so far no chance to use it on the Note, just need to keep it for long overseas trip.

Nope, data connection only be turned on when needed outside my wifi zone. But at home/office, wifi is turned on all the time.

I am not sure. I have no idea what is Android OS doing too. will check again for the next cycle.

i think so far no one mention this before in this thread. My Note has no such problem. ***touchwood***

wow.. thanks. miss that in the settings. But can only change the icon size of desktop? Icon size of App Drawer still so small - can't find any setting to change it.

welcome to the club but ain't you waiting for the white X'mas edition? Still thinking of whether should I get a white Note as my wife's x'mas present. but definitely burning a big hole in my wallet.

yes, mamago will sux your battery like a vampire. Using it on my previous DHD will see the battery percentage drop by the minute.

for ladies should be ok lah, always keep in their big bags. But white make it "looks" bigger, may looks weird when a petite lady holding it during calls.
