ARM A15 been announced for quite a while, and Octa is based on A15.

Unless "Cortex A15" is something quite different?

Haswell is only about 10% better than Ivy Bridge, but up to 25% lower power consumption. Wait for the next generation. I'm sticking with my Z77 for now.

Maybe the Note 5 could get a nice Intel low power CPU tongue.gif

You think should I upgrade?

That's a socket 775 pentium or EARLIER? If so it will be good to upgrade but if your main usage is mobile then get a nice notebook, I'm sure you can afford one.

Or a Note 8.0? tongue.gif

Yep 775, 45nm

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?
*
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

hmm.gif  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)

Even annoying if you're surfing LYN with a Nexus 4, if you get what I mean.

Oh no, i'm not getting any notifications anymore for:

Facebook
Twitter
Instagram

and many more (except Whatsapp)

How do I get them back again?

I might need to use Facebook for important stuff in a week's time (hosting some event, need to manage FB page and need to reply ASAP for enquirers) hence need instant notification.

The last time I had to resort to my iPhone and eventually I did a wipe to my ROM.

Apps/Services that I froze:

Still not working. Tried uninstalling too.

I asked a friend to post something on my wall and I made sure all other devices/computers that had access to my FB account to be closed or disconnected from WiFi. Still no notification.

The screen is not as saturated as our Note 2, not AMOLED?

It is not amoled ; TFT - supposedly will give you truer /more accurate  colors vs Note 2. Those who hate Super Amoled colors might love this better. Due to its bigger display, pixel density is also lower at 223 ppi vs 265 ppi of Note 2
It is a downgrade of Note 2 in terms of specs using only a dual core 1.7 Ghz vs a quadcore in Note 2
No idea yet what is internal memory as price too low to be 16 GB as there is a 8 GB option for this model. Will post this query in their Facebook
*
Oh, the i9205 is 16GB, i've tried it at Singtel this evening.

And yes, it had 12GB+ internal memory space as compared to Note 2's 10GB+

Then something in your phone is messing up your notification . Can u recall what u installed or what u did before losing notification ? IF not , factory reset is your only option

Sadly I don't.

I only froze those apps/processes and greenify-ed Airdroid

So for SGD 700 vs SGD 1k (at launch) for Note 2, would you say it's worthwhile?
*
It makes a good GPS for driving thou.

TFT means that I don't have to squint when driving under sunny conditions. AMOLED screens are dark even at max brightness. Thou the Note 2 with Perseus kernel is already considered bright when compared with the S3.

Uncle phone hunting again ?  rclxms.gif I dont understand y Samsung Sg start their LTE line and Malaysia is like sleeping , not bringing in both for users to have an option . True , LTE might not be widely available in msia but at least give user a choice while they themselves stock up more for non-LTE and some stock for LTE models .
Last suggestion , unfreeze and un-greenify everything . C how it goes . Still cant and u need those notifications badly , suggest u reset

What about normal use without multiwindows? What was used to disable zRAM ? Perseus + Stweaks?

Did your notifications problem get sorted out yesterday with Noobi's suggestions?
*
Yep, 0MB and 0% Swappyness for zRAM in Stweaks on Perseus kernel.

Sadly nope, I think i'm not going to wipe it instead i'll use my old iPhone (the 3 other Note 2 either same problem or suffering mad-long-delays for each notification)

I can't wait for 4.2.2 for our Note 2.

Flashed Wanam v7.0 (4.2.2) on my S3 which is left collecting dust.

What i've noticed:
Reduced input lag
Better RAM management despite without zRAM

and what I noticed was zRAM/SWAP is only useful on devices with low amount of RAM like my S3. It only slows down devices with more than enough RAM like our Note 2.
