I just held my friend's HTC One X earlier today, even though HTC One X's design is nicer and it feels more premium in the hand, the S3 is MUCH MUCH MORE NICER to hold.

It's like, I can't hold on to the HTC One X for more than a minute without changing my hand position, whereas on my S3 I feel that it's much more ergonomic and comfortable to the hand

my battery life is exactly like yours.
During weekdays i don't play games, I don't use mobile data, 95% of the time i use it only for SMS-ing.
But yet my battery can't even last through a day (i have all unnecessary settings off)

I know it's an app that's sucking up all my battery because i left it on airplane mode one night, but yet i woke up after 8 hours with 8% battery gone



mine's everything stock too

I don't have any mobile data so i off EVERYTHING that requires internet.
I'm very very sure that my settings are optimum for maximum battery life.
I hardly turn on my wifi, and i turn off wifi when i am not using it.

I suspect that the app that may be sucking up my battery = Beautiful Widgets.
I have the clock+weather widget set up on my homescreen.
I set the update interval to 1HOUR. I didn't think it was the cause since i dont have mobile data.

Now i have tweaked the update interval to manually, gonna try and see if it makes a difference.
Probably gonna have to wait till night time when i go to bed to try it.

Will report back with the results tomorrow

that's what i was thinking too

I've taken every measure to tweak every single settings that can conserve battery, but this is the only one that i've overlooked

hope it really solves the problem

holy crap, THAT'S INSANE

I can't even get through 2 days even with very very minimal usage

i have some widgets runing, so i guess that explains it

Depending on whether i have an outlet nearby, sometimes when during night time before i go to sleep, i will charge the phone even if there's only 50% battery left.

Most of the time i charge it when it's left around 30%, rarely i charge it when it's below 8%
(read from somewhere that it's not good to full-drain the battery)

download the free version first, try it (takes a few hours to get used to it, but you'll fall in love with it haha)

i have that

Reporting back with my battery drain results.



I had a battery drain problem that i thought i couldn't find a solution to the problem.

Found the solution after a fellow forumer mentioned about it.
Turns out, the battery sucker was Beautiful Widgets. I had a weather+clock widget open that had the update interval set to 1HOUR, i changed it to 16HOUR instead, and it really fixed the problem

Usually when i idle my phone untouched for 12 hours (sleep + school), the battery will only have 85% remaining.
But after fixing the problem, the results are significantly improved

This is a VERY HUGE improvement for me

but the weather widget looks nice, just for display purposes

Am i the only person who didn't receive the OTA update? No notification, and i checked for software update but it says no update available

EDIT: oh wait, malaysia not yet release it yet?

The update should be coming to our Malaysian shores soon i guess

To be honest, I've never touched my brightness settings since i first got the phone. The new OTA update is cool, but it may not be very useful to me.

I just set it to AUTO brightness, and i find that its VERY VERY good at automatically tweaking the brightness

Unlike iphone (or maybe other android phones), the auto brightness only hovers around the brightness level that was set, which obviously sucks since it's not really a true 'auto brightness'

Just my opinion though

LOOKS GOOD, can't wait!!

has the "Cell Standby" percentage error in the battery report been fixed?

Spent RM75 on a SGP FlexHD. 1 week later, SGP releases a dry-application full-front coverage screen protector.

SGP really needs to get their crap together

same here. Not that it's anything bad, it's just annoying
