My highest Antutu score: 23647

- 1.7ghz
- vdd=1150000 (same as stock kernel vdd at 1.5ghz for "Fast" and "Faster" CPU)
- noop IO scheduler
- everything else, default, including fsync. for me, not worth to disable fsync just to get some extra speed. it is risky.

Even at default 1.5ghz, managed to get: 20741

At this freq, it's only using 100000vdd, phone runs extra cool and save more battery.  laugh.gif

Galaxy Note 2 benchmark? LOL... eat my dusk! (yeah, i like to pick on Note II, coz most clueless people call it the best Android phone)
*
u don't need benchmark results to prove Note 2 is a piece of shxt, my single core DHD with vanilla android can easily beat it in the responsiveness department.

Guys, Im getting like 13% of battery drop per hour. I use it only moderately with few phone calls and occasional whatsapp. After installing juicedefender, it was better at about 9-10% an hour drop. Are there any mods/hacks that increase battery life for good? Some of you mentioned that you can get 15-19hours on average use. How do you achieve that?
*
by using internet commander pro. i'm getting twice than that, max battery without charge is 35 hours.

i know......but isnt this snapdragon suppose to be > tegra 3?  hmm.gif
*
yes it is, i've got both and i'd say snapdragon chips are always better than tegra, even the older gens compared to tegra 3

anyway, does anyone know (and can confirm) whether the N4 can be bought at digi using only prepaid? i've heard from my sis that many digi distributors there are accepting prepaid to get the N4, don't need to register any plans, so the price is only RM1499 + the price of the prepaid (RM50???)

not trying to start a debate here, it's just my personal opinion based on actual usage (not based on benchmarks or scores on the internet)

any answers for this:

i'm thinking of buying a 2nd phone for the wife, so need to gather some info first...

best bang buck.....phone with top spec + rebate  laugh.gif

btw...about the rebate....is it need to wait confirmation email first rite? only it determine whether you are qualify to have the rebate?
*
i'm not quite sure whether u need the confirmation email for it, my bro got the confirmation letter just afer 1 day (after application), but my wife doesn't receive it yet, the email she received isn't the confirmation letter like my bro's, but it says to bring the email (that includes her info) when wants to buy the phone. really confusing. she hasn't bought it yet.

Not asking anyone to defend their choice. But if you recommend something, be responsible.  Example of irresponsible comment:

"tegra 3 is better than adreno 320... Not based on any benchmark.. Just my personal opinion..."

"Nexus 4 battery is weak my friend say..."

" don't buy nexus 4 because it's from LG..."

Especially from people who does not own the device. Not talking about you. Enough of these kind of response, clueless user will make a wrong decision.

I an not worry about nexus 4 or LG sale, they are out of stock else where in the world. It's a pity that most Malaysian still shallow on their knowledge.
*
no need to keep repeating these things again and again, it's their loss if ppl don't know anything but talking like they do.

i did say that T-3 is better in graphics, and yes it's just my opinion because I own both, can compare side by side mah. T-3 is just good in that department and it's battery performance is second to non, it's good in nothing else. if somebody compares with benchmark then it's totally useless, us with a long history of modding and flashing will concur to this, benchmarks says nothing (my OC DHD can beat T-3's cpu benchmark every time, but is it really faster? nope...), real world usage matters the most.

I am taking about the graphics and I am saying your real world observation is incorrect.

No I am not taking about adreno 220 and below that is faster than tegra 3 (debatable), but adreno 320 beat the crap out of tegra 3.
*
i'm not comparing the speed, but which is more pretty. and again, it's my personal opinion that T-3 makes beautiful graphics

What the....add on RM100 can get from SenQ with 1 extra year of warranty and another 8gb added. LOL.

And IF SenQ accept the RM200 for N4, that means RM1469 with 2 year warranty + 8 gb more compared to IpMart's RM1549 for 8GB.  rclxm9.gif

i don't think they can accept, only telco can accept because gomen wants to waste our tax money for teens to use 3g for browsing porn with their phones

My battery test with stock ROM, stock kernel, rooted and unlocked: casual usage with some downloading of apps, trying out games for short period <10min, and mostly surfing, chatting and idling with 3G enabled.

I don't know how good or terrible the battery life is for such usage, but one thing for sure is that it lasted longer than my desire HD with similar usage pattern. Maybe custom ROM & kernels could further increase its life thumbup.gif

i'm also a former DHD user, of course DHD's battery is pathetic, it's battery is TINY

it's still better than s2 (the g version) when using vanilla JB, the responsiveness of the thing is incredible, thank god for XDA, i also used for 2 years.

Sorry for the noob question here but does Android automatically kill apps when you 'back' out of them? If not, what is the best way to kill apps in the background so they don't drain batt? Maps the worst culprit?
*
u don't need to manually kill apps, android will kill them for u after a while. unless u r using the phone as a developer or power user, u don't need any task killer

yes, micro USB is a common standard. Any micro USB cable should work. I still keep the original cable in the box and use my 2m cable for charging and connecting to pc, no issues so far.
*
NO!!! some cheapo china made shxt could NOT charge the phone, don't buy cheap ones (RM5-10). Get those that cost around RM15 and make sure you TEST it before buying, if they don't let u test (charge your phone), then ask them to confirm whether it can charge, if they said 'can' then buy it then only test it out IMMEDIATELY. if can't charge, give them hell.
