ya, no harm. already flash. cant unflash

Usage mean = awake or Screen On Time? or on battery.

//OT

6 hours of SOT is normal for Note 2 (which afaik Note 3 should be on par or better)

IMO its depending on the user themself and what rom+apps they using.

My wiffu are normal user one, still using note 2 android 4.1.2, no root or whatever greenify and etc that we do to tweak.

Normal SOT with display set 50-100%, Apps use Instagram/FB/Twitter+tube mate+whatsap. 3g or H+ all the way >_> are 5.30 hours to 6 hours plus2 >_>

And she does have less apps install.

hi, anyone knows to replace s3 external screen at lowyat, is it ori screen? is $250 - 280 reasonable? thank you

to unflash u need to clean wipe and reflash the rom back right?

external screen? what's that?? u mean ur display screen? amoled screen ah?

yes.. the mirror only..

Anyone got any shop recommendation to repair phones inside lowyat Plaza? Some shops that is quite cheap and is skillful in repairing hardware inside the phone. I want to go there to repair my Galaxy grand duos. I think there is something wrong with the circuit inside. I turn off the phone, the next day my battery died, totally cannot charge already. Also, I'm having wifi and bluetooth problem, it will not turn on, and keep showing "turning on... "

Thanks

IMO better send to Samsung SC, got warranty after repair

yup. using this rite now

But service center is expensive isn't it? I just want to fix it at minimal cost, I bought the phone second hand for Rm 120, thinking it's some software issues =. = well, guess I'm over smart, I have to get someone to repair the hardware now. I don't need the warranty anyway, as I'm not from kl..

Thanks. But won't it make the phone too thick and heavy? You get used to it already? But so far you have use for less than 1 month right?

1 year before, change s3 screen at samsung centre lowyat @ RM500++ . at that time, other shop at lowyat can change screen @ RM600++.

Now Rm250 only? so cheap ..

Usage time = SOT, correct.

My heavily tuned Note 2 averages at 8-9 hours on normal usage, my Note 3 only can obtain that on Kitkat.

I only use these apps:

Phone
Messaging
Whatsapp
Facebook
Stock browser (Chrome drains battery very badly)
Instagram
Twitter

Ah? Chrome drain battery very badly? I'm using Chrome only all this time =. =

For some reason, my wife prefer stock browser vs chrome

yeah. nice to hold bro.
dindnt feel the few gram increase at all
it feel more solid in my hand.

I got use this Blue Mail app on my other device. Got option to push, fetch (at intervals) and manual. Not sure what is different between push and fetch, but I notice more battery drain on push settings

Yes. For S3 on stock kernel and stuff.

You notice it will activate 3 cores and only using 1 core. Basically they made our phone into ondemand mode, therefore wasting unnecessary power.

Plus my battery drain rate is faster on Chrome than the stock browser.

I prefer chrome as I can swipe to change tabs. You know /k/tards like to open many threads at once and view them one by one.

But then I need to conserve power, therefore I need to use the stock browser.

still have problem with wifi... back to cm...

no issue on slimkat 4.4.2 build 4. So my self and 5 of my kawan seems ok.

rare case I presume
