Also you can just read the whole of first page to find more stuff that might just interest you or your wife, or both. That same first page got me interested in sooooo many of things lol.

Ooh really? Like ?

after few times dropped the phone with slim casing..i hv to buy this casing to protect my phone.quite bulky

I noticed, if I charged my phone (from the battery being lower than 10%) at 700mA or 1.2A, my SOT would be twice as longer than if I charged it at 2A.

Anyone noticed this too?

Eh??? That's strange. So you get DOUBLE SOT?

This could be worth checking out, but this means that a charger with that output is necessary. S3 is 1A, S2 is 700mA.

Or perhaps a limit of charging by using a lower rated cable with the 2A charger?

hooh888 you will probably need the Note 3 Active version. See this:

http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-ga...erences-221830/

Yes. With similar usage pattern...

Monday: Was in a rush, started charging the phone at 3am in the morning with 2A and went to bed. Woke up at 6am and unplugged it, left home at 7am and started using it since.

Tuesday: Charged the phone overnight from 12mn with my Galaxy W 0.7A charger and went to bed, unplugged it at 6am and started using at 7am.

Today: Charged the phone overnight from 2 am with my 2A charger (but I unticked both 'ignore margin' and 'unstable power' for today) and GCC shows me a reading of 1.2A.

So, Monday's battery life was so terrible. It lasted up until 4pm with 2h30m of SOT, 5% battery then I decided to swap my data SIM card to my cracked Note 2. Tuesday, similar usage but half the call time; SOT almost reaching 5h with 20% remaining. Today, lecture day, didn't use my phone much, I did 2h13m SOT with 63% battery remaining or about 36 mins / 10%

*I charge with my phone in airplane mode
*I use my phone in blocks of about 10-15 minutes
*Frequent replies to Whatsapp/SMS
*DATA/3G is on all the time
*screen is set to about 20% brightness/100% outdoors
*battery temperature averages at 35'c during usage

Wanamlite v1.3|Perseus 36.3|1.2GHz, undervolted to borderline stability, min GPU @ 54MHz|Power saving = off

worth investigating a bit, but I think your Monday usage of 2h SOT may mean some bad wakelocks?

My usage has never exceeded 4.5hrs SOT even when I was charging with the Nokia CA-101 which can only carry 1.1A, and on a bad day I get about 3hrs SOT. I have the BBS widget on my homescreen which shows Wakelocks live, so when the Wakelocks bar gets long, I check, and sometime a reboot solves it.

Wakelocks are pretty much the same everyday, 45m to 1.5h of mdm_hsic_pm0 (this is because of I turned on data) and 30 mins of PowerManagerService, 20+ mins of AudioOut_2 (probably accumulated from all those ringtones)

Ok need LYN Uber Battery OCD person - girl83

Your assignment for Battery Life checking.

((Xa))0102 and all interested in charging, some posts from Androidforums

pretty long discussion, maybe some BS, but informative although it does not address your finding.

EDIT: added the link to post 8 under Charger and Charging Related.

XDA's Say Sayonara to Google series of articles. An interesting read for the paranoid:

http://www.xda-developers.com/tag/say-sayonara/

Article 2 just came online, and I have used Owncloud before but couldn't set up HTTPS and fixed DNS to my home box ...

Will there be an active variant for note 3? I went hiking a lot so a waterproof note will be so much better! Even with liquipel coatong I still don't trust my phone with water. Usage under light rain is okay la for me with liquipel

I guess if they could have a waterproof earphone jack on the S4 Active, then I don't see any reason why they can't do the same for Note 3. In fact the stylus silo should be easy to seal off from the rest of the phone frame cavity.

Slap on an Otterbox Defender-type casing for that and it will probably survive a hiking fall better than you

Friend,

May i know whether Note2 have the radio antenna/reception? my friend told me S4 required online radio like Iphone did....which is the major reason i switch from Iphone

The 3G version N7100 has a radio. The n7105 LTE version does not.

Tried to update Asphalt 7 since yesterday but been getting this error. What could be the reason? Any solution besides uninstalling and reinstalling again?

Rooting, flashing, accessories, battery life related stuff, then led to theming and developing stuff.

Yes i definitely need it.

I have the same error too...but i take option 2 uninstalling and reinstalling
