I'll check my zip files later to see if there are any problems there.

There's no sequence. Everything can be installed at any sequence.

Hi Pika. appreciate that.

After 5 tests just done.

Last one went through. Well, maybe just luck? Hmm~

Weird thing is I never experience such with Siyah kernel. But with NEAK and Red Pill, quite common. Weird huh...

Well, install BetteryBatteryStats from XDA.

RUn it and show us the screenshot.

Should be something running background like apps or something.

There could be a chance of battery problem but seldom la.

Funny. Though I see your point, I don't think anyone is interested. If you want to leave it to discharge and not touching it, better buy 3310 shakehead.gif

Guys I realized something with my battery recently.

After a simple reboot, battery can drop suddenly like 30-50% battery. Then after sometime, it will slowly raise again.

Calibrated nearly all ways I can think off. What is wrong le?

For me, a good topic should have A vs B to avoid those new users keep asking the same questions over and over again.

However, try put it on the last post or something.

Just my 2 cents.

Guess what? You mean the battery?

If you are talking about the battery, it definitely not right. Been using SG since it is released and something is wrong.

Yeah, the battery when reboot. The other day my S2 hanged and I popped out the battery, pop it back in and the battery drained to around 30% when it was 80% charged. Then slowly the battery increased back.

Definitely something wrong and I am assuming is kernel or rom related. This is because been using since July '11 and this doesn't happen that often. Usually this happen, a quick calibration will solve the problem but not this time. Weird.

I noticed this cos I change kernel alot and wiping battery stats, calibration and checking for battery is common for me.

Apparently S III is coming out in Feb, I think I won't wait for iPhone 5 and just get S III.
I heard S II's battery life can last 20 hours + 15% left is this true?
*
Erm...honestly YES and NO.

Yes if you:
1. Control brightness
2. Idle most of the time
3. Basic light user

No if you:
1. Heavy user
2. Play games
3. Screen backlight is not lowest

Consider this, on heavy using (browsing and games), phone can last about 3-4 hours straight.

On heavy usage daily (less games), can last between 8-12 hours.

Of course, longer is possible depending on your usage.

How does auto sync data work actually? Like iCloud for iPhone?

I know this isn't the recommendation thread, but if I like listening to music on the go, is S III a good choice or should I stick to iPhone? I also like the fact that I don't have to convert movies/tv series for Android phones.
*
1. S3 is not out yet and thus, without being able to test on the real unit, everything is just assumption smile.gif
2. If you want to hear music, I suggest iPhone seriously.

Auto sync is a feature that it will automatically sync your data. This means that sync-ing your facebook, emails etc etc. Of course, you can use apps to control the sync duration like every 5 minutes once or so.

iOS and Android have evolved so much, previous differences are being eliminated/blurred, so generic stuff like social networking / web browsing / music on the go / video / etc are pretty much equal. They do have their minor differences, but I don't think it's gonna be make or break in most decisions.

Between the 2, if you want something relatively hassle free, etc, you should stick to iOS.
If you like to tinker, go to Android. If you prefer large screen size and all, go Android as well tongue.gif

Not to say the 2 can't do otherwise, (manage your Android properly and it'll definitely be hassle free, and who knows, next iPhone might finally have a decent size for a touchscreen phone) but those are the core differences imo. Ultimately, both have evolved and are currently mature enough to be able to most functions you'll expect on a smartphone. So don't worry bout "can the device do this and that, etc". It may not be apparent, but both can do most stuff, albeit some might need some tinkering.

And no, doubt S3 will come out in Feb. Samsung has clarified they won't announce S3 in the coming MWC, and they do have a separate event, but that's in March I think. Honestly, by the time it hits the shelves, you're looking at May or June imo.

And on the subject of auto sync, it's not like iCloud, that's something different. Certain apps allow you to sync data in the background, for convinience. e.g. facebook, news readers, twitter, etc. This means in periods, it'll download news feeds, etc. You can of course switch all of this off if you don't like it. Basically synchronizing your phone with whatever service, but automatically done in intervals for you

Thanks for this.

I have always liked iPhone's music player, but as you said, the music player is generic stuff. The main reason I'm considering Android is because I got bored of iOS and want to try something new; friends keep telling me you can customize this and that on your Android.
What do you mean by Android being a hassle if not managed properly? I see LYN forumers rooting and flashing their Samsung Galaxy's, is that what you mean by managing?
Also, Android is becoming a bigger threat to iOS (read from an article "Android can no longer be ignored", and ICS looks very very promising.

I don't really mind if it releases in June actually, then I can actually compare iPhone 5 and S III, since I'm not in a rush (unless my 3GS suddenly breaks down). I'm still tied down to a 2-year plan (1 year left) anyway, hopefully, Vodafone will allow me to upgrade to whatever phone by the time those 2 big names are released.
*
What I heard was iPhone 5 will be released not that early as expected.

Hmm. Anyway, Android is customization god. Something like Apple, you can't install EVERYTHING but rooting will allow you to do so. Yes in some way, you can consider that managing.

Basically, rooting allows you to access the phone's database instead of just memory. Of course, sometime it wrong move will cause instability etc.

Of course, Android has many custom roms and kernels that you can mix and match to get better battery life, performance etc. Unlike apple, you only got to stick to one.

Well there is definitely pro and con and wish you all the best!
