hi guys..
did u install an antivirus application in ur S3?
is it need to install that application?

i've tried avast antivirus before. in my opinion, it's quite useless.
it eats up my battery and i uninstalled it after a few days of use.

thanks for ur opinion bro..
i am also thinking this anti virus program will consume my battery a lot..

i can usually get by 9 hours of standby time and my battery only drops 1%.

but with antivirus, after 9 hours of standby, battery drops about 5%

also, i notice that the device becomes 'awake' very frequently (judging by the battery graph)

eh really ? it uses lots of battery ? i did not know this ... i will watch my battery stats carefully.

but i do agree waze is more for fun.

I tried cygic and it's accurate, but i didn't feel it was as user friendly to use compared to waze.


waze map is totally social based meaning the roads are only recorded via cars with waze enabled that travel along them. Whereas Cygic got their maps via their own research. So there is no question there which is more accurate.

But for non business friendly usage, waze is cool to use.

I question however cygic vs waze in terms of reporting cameras, traffic conditions, and accidents on the road. This is one area i feel waze may actually be better

in terms of privacy, cygic wins, because you don't have to disclose your location to others, whereas Waze you do since this is the whole idea on who Waze works. Waze could be problematic if your on someones hit list as you don't want them to know where you are, which is why i use an alias for my Waze and turn it off when i'm at home

after update to the latest software, seems battery life is better

98% after wifi and regular phone call for 1/2 a day

Hey Moogle Stilzkin,

I have just rooted my phone this evening and am now preparing to flash Wanamlite 2.4. Can I skip the backup part using Titanium since I have already backed up my contacts and pictures using Kies?

my avast mobile security detected 2 virus apks which it helped me to delete/clean.

so my answer is yes, install anti virus/spyware ap.

adway is also good to block apps from spaming your push notifications with ads as well.

Added on August 15, 2012, 7:42 pmhm.... i never used kies to restore backup, so i rather not comment on what i don't know.

titanium backup is the most sure fire way to restore your contacts/settings/pictures/apps .... that is the only backup i would ever recommend

the latest CF root still working with latest firmware DXLH1, OTA update firmware still working

because this is your first time migrating from samsung original firmware to thirdparty wanamlite rom, i recommend that when your in the recovery menu that you

1. factory reset
2. clear cache
3. clear dalvik

once done then you install zip from internal sd, the wanamlite rom zip file.

Of course before doing any of this, a backup is recommended using titanium backup especially if you need to redo many settings like wifi connection, etc etc...

If you only want to backup pictures, you can temporary transfer them to your dropbox, or use airdroid. but then that leaves the question of how to backup your contacts ? This is why it's simple just to use titanium backup >->;




good info

Is Titanium a cloud-based app as in after I flash Wanamlite, it will still be there after I flash my ROM right? Also, do you mind explaining more about the loading the wanamlite file using airdroid?

i strongly suggest you only backup the least amount of stuff possible (for your first time when migrating from stock to wanamlite), so that you don't accidentally restore bloatware from backup onto your device after installing wanamlite.

So just only backup your phone settings (wifi, etc etc...), contacts, sms/call logs, your photos.


so anyway after you upgrade to wanamlite, first thing you do is reinstall back titanium backup via googlestore. (don't worry apparently the factory reset does not wipe the backed up files by titanium backup located on your internal SD)

then use the recovery option to restore your backup :} All done.


the backups are stored on your internal SD by default. Although there is an option to sync this backup folder to dropbox if you wish, but this is only available for the Pro version of the app. My dropbox titanium backup is encrypted in case dropbox account got hacked


You can read the titanium backup user guide here if you are still confused

Just now i have clear the cachee or file save in all application one by one as advice by Benny888 in some ealier threat as potentialy got file update or stuck somewhere maybe... doesn't help stupid message still there.....

Then i try clear all my sms and mms which i think useless....it works......

My theory is some mms message stuck especialy those send by MAXIS.
In symbian normaly it straight download.
In android it show dowload button maybe i accidently press...last time.

So maybe you guy can try it out....
