nrm la..

Alrwady on it for several days... So far so good. Was on Dr. Ketan's preroot deodex stock, change to ARHD because mike86 already put away bloatwares...

Battery and wifi seems better than 4.3...I'm on ND3 modem, before this on MJ5.

i have the same issue with you before, using the 2A charger and the white USB cable from samsung, took me like 6 hours plus to finish charge which is unbearable

then i search along, found that the Samsung white USB cable is the problem, look at your USB cable at the mini usb end, there is 4 gold contact pins. Try to change to another USB cable with 5 gold contact pin.

check the micro usb end, there should be five pins, it should solve your problem

somehow i like the lockscreen album art, but the magnified picture also make me headache, in the end i edit all the music info in iTunes and add in HD album art, so no blurry album art! 
but i guess there is no way to remove the album art from lockscreen
so did any 5 pin cable solve your problem?

but the problem with the samsung calbe only occur after i update to 4.3, before in 4.1.3, i can charge completely in around 2.5 hours, but when update to 4.3 or 4.4.2, it took me 6 hours plus for full charge with the samsung cable, dunno whether this has to do with the firmware.

I was away the last 2 days. Nice discussion. I read about lamjunrong's replies, so he may have a point.

BTW mudkipryan can be largely ignored as he rarely ever gives any responses that make sense.

I suspect you may ALSO have a faulty usb port on the phone, as it can happen. My wife's S3 is having this problem, whereby it will only give 100-300 on GCC unless the cable is removed and inserted again.

If you cannot get 1500 or 1800 on any cable + charger combination, this is the most likely cause.

I recall that replacing the USB port is less than RM50.
