battery drain issue..
first... throw away mind set of comparing to note 2....the battery on HTO is smaller than note 2 thus lifetime shorter
second, the phone is actually a heat sink...so the aluminium will disperse the heat through the aluminium, that is why u feel hot fast.... but actually it keep the internal good, i used to have sgs2, it is very hot when I use long and it was plastic but i dont mind, just put a case and it doesn't bother u much
third..turn on ur power safe mode, it will increase the battery life
fourth... close gps, bluetooth and wifi when no use, it eat battery damn fast
five.. LTE eat battery, so when you not require surf fast, or not your area no LTE, change the network setting to GSM / WCDMA auto or even better just WCDMA only
six...how many social media u have? the more it sync the more battery it eats
seven...how many hours you you on social media? if you continue for 4 hour straight, of course it drain fast, you need to post some more information, are you on youtube or streaming
eight.. have many cycle battery you gone?
My battery range from 6 hours to 13 hours average depending how long n how I use...i have damn a lot social media, whatapps, twitter, fb,badoo, tagged, twoo, tapatalk, viber, wechat, google+, kakaotalk, instagram, blinkfeed, 3-4 email sync..but i still manage 6 hours...way way better than my sgs2..
if you compare with iphone or note 2 or worst bb...you can't compare
Oh, very interesting. Thank you for you're explanation ya! hehe
and also im always on twitter, that's all facebook sometimes the rest not much and mine no LTE.
