For once, my friend, i beg to differ on your statement. I have lately been on Tango and WeChat; and could muster up to about 5 hours SOT but battery life naturally goes down faster. It depletes after about 15, sixteen hours of usage. But I am not complaining.

I fervently hope I am totally wrong in saying this but in every likelihood, it is a scam. Now your worry is not whether you will be given a cloned unit but whether you will get any at all.

And isn't it a bit late to hope now that it is not a scam? I don't mean to put further unrest onto you but paying a sum first without having anything tangible in hand is a big no no unless it's with proven, reliable and reputable sources. I hope for your sake the seller is no stranger to you.

Anyway, do let us all know if and when you do receive the item. Cheers mate.

That in itself will ring the alarm bell for me even louder. Would any company which provides phones for their staff to use and then allows them to sell off and even helping by allowing them to use their bank account for the transactions? Again, this is one time I hope I am proven wrong but sorry, I doubt so.

My fingers will be crossed tight for you.

The police will not help. Too small a sum to be bothered with. But there is no harm in lodging a report.

However, it would be good to raise the issue at as many places/forums as possible as that would give the heads up to a wide cross section as to another MO of con jobs.

You have my sympathy.

In all probability, it is the Smart Stay that is causing it. Disable it and your phone will certainly sleep at the designated time.

Mate, your observation is a long time in coming. For some to either gain attention or to increase post counts, great lengths will be gone to even to the extent of making one look silly to no end. Constructive postings will still be alright but alas they are not which can be annoying, to say the least.

I have chosen to turn a blind eye long time ago to such posts not just by him but by a few others as well. Not worth the unnecessary 'stress'. That's why I seldom post nowadays. Life has improved since then.

You obviously will be getting it, right? As for me, I am opting for a smaller screen (5"). Reason being when I play golf phone can sit in my pocket niftily and not impede my swings.

Hence, now looking at Butterfly S and Z1 as well as S4, in that order.

Thanks but when I talk about S4, I am referring to the LTE variant. Yeah, Z1 is the least preferred. It's a toss up between the other 2.
