nice... new TS.

and just for the fun of it... downloaded that Galaxy Current Checker thingy from XDA. playing around with it like a geek...

errr... what am i supposed to look out for?!?

but battery also drain more... no?

but ya... it looks like it will definitely bring out the vivid & vibrant colours that AMOLED is so capable of.

yikes... you have coolies?!?

from wikipedia:

hope you're not taking this seriously...

and i'll be damned if the above gets corrected... lolz...

system things its a coordinate... ya, seen it happen, especially when a number is at the start of the sentence.

yikes... title comes in two colours... so... yucks.

the live wallpaper i'm using... actually showed up on my battery usage... lolz...

using the ripple effect thingy that comes with stock rom.

yup... agreed.

for me... if i know i'm gonna do intensive gaming... i plug in my yoobao. but it does make the phone warmer than normal if do that.

hmmm... last night... phone plugged into wall...

i got:
current_now: 1698
current_avg: 700
current_max: 700

stock rom. AP set. 2 pin plug.

so... possibly something wrong with charger/ cable?

but honestly... it seems fine. takes about 2 hours+ to get to 100%.

i'm using the long march model. i think its 11200. comes with 1A and 2A. so for charging note 2, i use the 2A port. charges about the same/ similar to when i plug to the wall.

later today... i'll capture the current % from yoobao.

mine direct from china (taobao). got for like rm170. that's like 6 months back or so.

@aspire2oo6 no comments abt the price as i've not been checking them out after i got mine. at that time, the price i paid is really good. but what i heard, prices already dropped a lot.

also, as shared by some others... you wanna be sure if its official product or parallel (AP) or worse... fake. yes, got fake yoobao in the market.

charging time... i din really time it but it does feel about the same as when i plug to the wall.

if you want something more scientific and accurate... not sure if the GCC numbers will be useful...

stats from my own Note 2 (AP)

FROM WALL:
current_now: 1698
current_avg: 700
current_max: 700

FROM YOOBAO (AP set):
current_now: 1698
current_avg: 1100
current_max: 1100

i find this to be just nice. got 2 ports (1A and 2A). can be used to charge phones and tablets. size isn't that big. smaller than Note2 but thicker.

i recall previous TS did mention to PM him. if you just leave a message here (like what u r doing now)... not surprised you were not added la...

agreed.

my 2sen...

In the first place, s3 and note 2 reported many such cases... Maybe because it's one of few phones that have external memory slot that also support large capacity.

Secondly... If I'm not mistaken... Most of the reported cases are class 10 cards. I've been using 32gb class 6 cards for close to a year and still good. Yes... sandisk. But maybe also coz the files are not more than 3gb...?

But I'd think it's going overboard to put this on page 1.

2 full charge from about 20%. and still got a bit more... possibly can charge till 60%, also from 20% or so.

For me... I try to charge the yoobao after I have used it. coz if not... yoobao full charge can take like 8+ hrs.

or how many ROUNDS?! heh heh...

sorry. I mean when my note2 is at 20%. yoobao is at 100%. can get about 2.5 times.

reply from phone. so was kinda lazy to type long2.

sadly, I still find stock browser to be quite bad. Other than the pop up feature, there's really nothing to talk about. rendering of website can be really bad when compared to others like Chrome.

I still like Chrome best.

And nope, still not touching Dolphin because of that run during start permission.

I hope next version of Android will allow us to micro manage permissions. like revoke 1- 2 permissions we find intrusive.

are you using maxis?

i find stock browser's rendering of some websites to be off... anyway, i'll take some screenshots later to show what i mean...

do you guys feel the same?

was playing around with the Galaxy Charging Current thingy...

noticed the following reading on my bedroom wall socket:
current_now: 1698
current_avg: 700
current_max: 700

i tested with office socket 1 (cable from box):
current_now: 1698
current_avg: 1300
current_max: 1300

i tested with office socket 1 (cable from yoobao -- but mine is a very long one)
current_now: 1698
current_avg: 1800
current_max: 1800

i tested with office socket 2 (cable from box):
current_now: 1698
current_avg: 1200
current_max: 1200

i tested with office socket 1 (cable from box) - 10 minutes later:
current_now: 1698
current_avg: 1000
current_max: 1000

i do wonder how accurate is the reading.... coz i noticed reading can change when you turn off power on the socket and then turn it back on...

or does that mean i have problem with my charger?

700 for home wall socket... meaning my wall socket is lousy?

haiz...
