its RM349.00 cause i got from u mobile phone deal u88 so not very reflective of current market price.

@emkay & power slide, how old is the phone?

mine just 1 month old as of today but feel like holding it very long already(same thing happened with my galaxy mini ) btw just wondering if anyone uses any sms backup to sdcard app?

i think charging thru pc usb will fast2 rosak the battery. experience with my much older phone and bros phone of a diff brand. battery kembung .

car charger rosak the battery fast i feel cause my galaxy mini been having some issues faster draining issues after using car charger. battery cannot last long not 18 hrs any more but 10 or less . 3g n bluetooth always on,

charging thru usb to pc long run will kembung battery too. my much older phone 2 batteries kembung, my bros phone usb charging only also kembung both of us over charged cause zzzzzzzzzz

get to apps list like the example in your picture then press the left touch key choose grid view. hope this helps.

simple one is tukar battery.

usb charging is the culprit and car charger also (heats up the battery too fast). power bank i'm not sure. battery defect cannot be sure.

anyway guys, how long can the phone go on a full charge?

mine is ~ 10 hrs 20 mins on 3g + bluetooth - light browsing, messenger, google currents and short calls.

I'm thinking of getting powerbank. if i play games like bad piggies batt will finish quickly!

this has been the nagging doubt i have abt those banks. not sure how safe is it.

considering yoo bao

yes thats why not keen on buying online. once item arrived hard to dispute liow.

my first app installed was avast antivirus.
then these followed soon (honestly depending on what u like to do eg chatting ,music, games)

2. ymessenger
3. sound hound
4.winamp
5. hanping lite- chinese dictionary
6. app2sd
7.angry birds
8.battery solo widget.

start buy reducing brightness to abt 35%(or less if u can see) turn off 3g when not in use and use a darkcoloured wall paper, avoid live wall papers. make sure wifi is off when not in use.

how many hrs?

with 3g n bluetooth on is max 10 hrs nowadays i got play games n surf a bit more a bit about 7 hrs b4 its like 9%.

when i'm not using 3g i deactivate data i feel the batt left % meter hardly move . i never mangaed to try out how long it will go.

ori batt is either rm 89 or 99 based on Samsung mobile news letter. never been to samsung shop don't know got sell or not.
warranty pula void maybe? i'm not sure but to be on the safe side do keep your original battery and put it back before sending to claim warranty.

Bloating can be induced, by using till 0% then charge till overcharge eg . b4 sleep n off the charger when wake up. within 3 weeks i think the batt will bloat with beer belly d. Anyway after it swell a bit, it will keep bloating. Not recomended la cause it destroys the phone.

My phone bought in june 2012 by march 2013 battery bloated. till almost can't use the phone. From beginning my battery already problem cause when in camera mode on display can see wavy lines and if i continue to take pix it will capture the wavy lines as well ruining the pix. sometimes its there sometimes its not usually goes away after reseting phone. Now totally gone after battery replaced thats why i blame the stock battery. Anyone else face the problem b4?

The original battery is swelling further despite not being used anymore
