Screen brightness isn't indicated in the SOT so this might be a contributing factor

Screen On Time (SOT) - basically how long your phone screen stays on.

Can be easily affected by the stuff you do on your phone. Heavy browsing using Wifi/3G plus data sync for your email/whatsapp or some heavy gaming or GPS mode would definitely yield a lower SOT compared to a phone that is sitting idle without Wifi/3G or without any form of activity, with Power Saver mode on maybe. Screen brightness is another huge contributing factor.

Thus, I don't really find it a bragging right or a tool to say "My phone is better than yours" since different people would have different usages, so there's no point in arguing whose SOT is higher and all.

Since I'm quite annoyed with the SIII's battery heat issue, I got myself this

Like the name suggests, it is a film to help reduce temperature of your phone. Apply the film to the back of your phone cover and make sure it comes in direct contact with the battery

It's RM23 btw.

Hahaha yeah I'll try to check the temperatures, hopefully won't get placebo effect

Wow nice price bro. Even cheaper than when I sold my old SII months back

I'm definitely getting lower battery temperatures. I'm guessing around 3-4C or more

edit: Idle temperatures are awesome. I'm getting like 26-27C on idle (Wifi on)

Not too sure about that but I do know of this war strategy game, akin to that of the Total War PC games...

You no need this thing lah.

Err I stick to the phone cover as per instructed.

Yup. Haha I'm not sure how it works but I hope it'd not something that I have to change frequently

Cooler by about 3-4C, on idle my phone is around 26-28C which is pretty good because usually it's around 31-33C (Wifi on). Btw, I'm in an aircon room ah hahaha. Will test out more on Monday when I stress test it with Waze GPS+ 3G+ Max brightness and in the very hot weather (direct contact with afternoon sun). Usually I get around 53-55C. I hope this time will be less than 50C. Temperature too high not good leh..

When I click update software, it says "device has been modified. Software updates are not available"... probably because I flashed to 4.1.2 Poland. So if SME 4.1.2 is out already, how do I update?

Google Chrome browser finally with FULLSCREEN. Damn it really took them so long, only reason I'm using Dolphin Browser HD is because of this function

Edit: Wait...what? How to activate fullscreen mode?

Well, The Curve is not exactly a good place to look for cheap deals. You can try Lowyat Plaza, or if you want something even cheaper, try ebay.com but it'll take around 3-4 weeks to arrive

Got this at LYP for RM30 only

That sh!t ain't a case yo

I can never get the address bar to be hidden You know what? I was expecting FULL SCREEN to really mean full screen browsing experience, like in Dolphin HD browser..

Bumpers won't protect the back, and more importantly the front screen of your phone. Drop it face down hard, you might end up with a cracked screen, like many others who have reported here. RM600+ fly away...

Ignore this post. Solved by reinstalling the app

Nice improvement in battery life for the leak 4.2.2

Edit Typo: Leaked stock 4.2.2

Almost 3 hours SOT with Wifi browsing, battery now at 57%

It's not all the same. Different power banks would have different max rated output. For example, the Sony slim design powerbanks has only a max 0.5A rated output whereas my MiPow has 1A max rated output. But of course these are all theoretical max speed, real life output and efficiency is different. You can refer to here:

You can try the leak stock 4.2.2 first and see how
