QUOTE(Najmods @ Dec 25 2013, 07:19 PM) Linaro which are based on Franco supports it too. If you asked me the double tap2wake, sweep2wake thing is just battery eater. Unless you use pouch or use unlock pattern/password when you put in your pants it sometimes unlock by itself because it detect my leg touching the screen and poaching my balls in the process. Having the phone constantly searching for touch response just eats the battery. slightly battery juice sacrifice for sure but is really really very minimal. furthermore, dev also give tips when phone going for long idle or you going to sleep, just press the power button to sleep will disable it. save battery. only 1-2% for mine overnight.Stock Franco R24 really saves tons of battery, no need to underclock, no need to undervolt. I get 3hr+ SOT with 70% battery left on WiFi |

QUOTE(Someonesim @ Dec 25 2013, 07:32 PM) I use TouchControl for long time, these swipe to wake thing does increase battery usage, but quite minimum IMO ( increase 5-10% full day ). Yeah the slide2wake is less susceptible to accidental unlocking inside pants but still 5-10% is a lot to someone who doesn't have the access to wallplug all dayTap 2 wake does had higher chance of unintentionally unlock your phone while in your pocket etc ( hence I dont use it ), but I never experience issue with Slide2Wake ever Franco does saves battery, I always leave if default. |

In my quest for something just a bit more striking I came across this thread from the xda forums. Even though it doesn't offer the best protection out there, it is still a better option than going nekid. Our camera lens are kinda popping out from the device and by going nekid, if it scratches http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577289 The quicksand covers looks pretty amazing.

For the price, I think there is no reason not to get it for those who are not using any casing This post has been edited by infernoaswen: Dec 25 2013, 08:19 PM |

Depending on how many people joins the bulk, I think I can bring in around RM35-40. Might even be cheaper if many joins. Need to wait first for my qi chargers to arrive first |

QUOTE(faiz293 @ Dec 25 2013, 09:06 PM) Already submitted. Looking for black, but only white left. Now need to look for the cover. Not planning to use any screen protector since it is using gorilla glass. Watch all the drop tests on YouTube and you'll think twice about not getting screen protector. Even though N5's housing the new Corning Gorilla 3. Most screens crack on first drop. In this forum, we already have two victims of cracked screens, both on first drop. |
