QUOTE(botakbin @ Jan 28 2013, 01:47 PM) Sad to say but true. Another friend thought of changing i4 to s3, the i5 friend told her not to. Why? I5 more expensive, hence it is better. Expensive means better? Mind you. Note 2 cost 2229, iPhone 5 cost 2199. Both 16GB. One with a tiny 4 inch screen, one with a 5.5 inch. And you were saying?

Hahaha they did drag note 2 into the topic too so andrewtho is also right. I think they might have just said that based on the i5 with higher storage, hence higher price, I'm not sure. Worst thing is, they asked me what's so good bout android and I told them it's customizable, and we have a home screen to start with, not just few walls of apps. they told me, they have home screens too. Then they showed me their lock screen.

You need to take the metaphor of cars or hotels or houses to make them understand the comparison. eg: The difference between android and iOS: iOS is like living in a nice hotel. You don't have a lot of choice but it looks nice and easy to use. Android is like buying your own home. Buy an really nice home (android device) and you will probably love it. You can change and customize it however you want. It's yours! You can also buy cheap.

Actually I am ok with ios and I do recommend it to my friends who want simplicity and games, but the fanboysim level is just ridiculously high and I don't even know how it got to them.

But probably go for Kingston la, Sandisk alot of complains. Lol. Anyway, there are always people who likes to compare. Let them compare la, as long as we are satisfied with our device, its all that matters.

QUOTE(joytest @ Jan 28 2013, 12:38 PM) Apps running in background? You already have more than 24h available. The main thing would be Screen On Time which shows your active use. There are always background CPU tasks. Well on the picture u can see that the app engadget is on the top which i have no idea why. Cpu usage say 1hr 43min but i barely use it more than 15 mins.

Because Samsung pull it back due to battery drain issue... So if u r using 4.1.1 stock rom, tat mean ur phone is updated with latest software...
