Do you use usb charging from pc? Disable any data connection,gps and close some apps. That should work!
[HTC One X] ElChouch:
Today I used usb charging inded (but usually I use regular charger), I disabled everything I could, plug it at 9am, it's now 5pm and it's finally 100%

The good thing is that it seems to normally drains battery.

I just used battery callibrator, I'll let it empty and then charge it anew to see if there is any change.

Be sure to clear the cache after each use.

I'm getting at 58.3kbps which is 7.1 k on my first try using Cingular GPRS Unlimited.

Second try 51.6kbps 6.5kbytes

Third try 51kbps 6.3 kbytes

Which is correct if I compare it to my SPB GPRS Monitor.

Please don't go off topic and ask question on how to setup the GPRS. Search the forum!

I'am in France with Orange - GPRS, I put classe 10 in GPRS option.

the result are very hight, but when i use PoketIE the surf seems to be very slow... I want to say that a nokia show html page faster than my QTeK.

Maybe i download quick but the ping is very very bad...

[Networking] Garou-69:
Hello,

To clear Pocket IE cache.

Open PocketIE

In bottom select "Tools" // "Options" // clic on "delete files" in the bottom part Temporary Internet Files.

You may delete the cookies too, go to "advanced" and clic on "clear cookies".

Good test !

Your result is very low ... be sure that you do nothing else during test (receiving or sending mail, mms, ...)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnip:
Hey Guys,

i was thinking about buying a new smartphone. Now that Samsung and HTC both have released their flagship device for 2013 I did some research and ended up with the Galaxy S3, the Nexus 4 and the Galaxy S4 in mind. I'm having some trouble to make up my mind about these smartphones. I compared them considering their performance. (excluded the S4 with octacore tho) and found out that basically performance benchmarkwise goes like this: S3> N4> S4.

I watched some video reviews as well and found out that these devices are pretty much equal in everyday performance. (opening apps and websites with maybe 1 second difference at most) The Nexus 4 stuck out a bit because unlike the S4 and S3 almost had no stuttering or dropped frames in the UI while even the S4 had a few.

So I'm not really sure whether the S4 is worth it for me, as I'm probably not gonna make frequent use of all the gimmicks and stuff. The 16 GB Nexus 4 is even a bit more expensive than the S3 now and the timely updates for the N4 are no dealbreaker for me as i will flash custom roms on the S3 anyway. The Nexus 4 however has no replacable battery and no sdcard slot.

Please correct me on these statements if they are flawed or simply incorrect. :)

Also I heard about the Snapdragon 800 and Nvidia Tegra 4 (maybe even the Exynos Dualcore of the Nexus 10 which is supposed to be released as Quadcore soon?) which are basically the next big thing when it comes to processors. I thought the S4 would make a HUGE jump (and the octacore version actually does) but it didn't. Now I wonder whether i should wait for the next generation of processors/smartphones. (I don't want to wait longer than Q4 2013)

I would appreciate your help a lot!

thank you for cluttering the thread and posting bull****
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CorruptedSanity:
Why are you disregarding s4's superior screen and resolution?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedrohz:
Maybe you should wait for the "S4 Nexus" that will be released June 26th (if you live in the US, of course). It will aggregate the best in hardware and software and will come with an unlocked bootloader.

Between the N4 and the S3, if you're gonna flash a custom rom, get the S3 version with 2gb ram (without exynos). It has a removable battery and sd card slot which always helps.

Regarding the processors you've mentioned (Snapdragon 800 and Tegra 4), it doesn't matter much if the software is not optimized. Just look at TouchWiz, even with a brutal processor there are lags and stutters. IMO processors are powerful enough nowadays to provide a smooth experience in the UI and with games, but the software is not optimized and good enough to use all those cores wisely. OEMs further 'helps', clogging the system with bloatware.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnip:
Thank you for the informative post :)

i have made similar experiences when comparing android to ios. the hardware is actually brutal but its not enough to compensate for the rather unoptimized software. unfortunately i do not live in the US and even if I did it wouldnt make much of a difference to me as i could flash custom vanilla android on the S4 anyhow.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedrohz:
I understand. Just be sure to get the S4 model with Snapdragon 600, as the 'S4 Nexus' will use it instead of the Exynos octa (no LTE). Then once its stock rom is released by fellow devs you can flash without issues :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnip:
actually i dont disregard it. for me the screen is one of the few improvements that really have a noticeable effect on everyday performance. unfortunately it comes at a great cost when comparing 300€(S3) to 600€(S4). I think the S3 is far more worth than only 1/2 of an S4

Ok thanks for the advice! :)

Edit: " get the S3 version with 2gb ram (without exynos)"

As far as my research goes:

The exynos is the quadcore version whereas the snapdragon version of the S3 is dual core.

The quadcore version usually does not have 2GB ram but i found some spec sheets that had Quadcore + 2GB RAM (LTE version)

Id say better have quadcore instead of dualcore and 2GB ram right?

Edit 2:

Unfortunately i cant get the 2GB version with dualcore in Germany.

I can order

Exynos Quad 2GB RAM LTE and

Exynos Quad 1GB RAM no-LTE

I dont really need LTE but is the 1 GB of extra RAM worth the 50€? (apprx 65$)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joe0Bloggs:
You asked to be corrected on your statements in the OP and that's what I did. Either you misued the comparison symbols or you thought both the S3 and N4 do benchmarks better than the S4.

I did what you asked people to do and an insult is what I get in return?

So I bought my S3 in February but I haven't had to use the GPS portion of the phone since I have a TomTom GPS. Yesterday I forgot my GPS and was trying to use my S3's to find out a friend's apt. I fired up Navigation and entered the address but then the GPS was stuck at "Searching for GPS". I waited few minutes to see if it can get a GPS lock. 10 minutes later still can't get a lock. Then I got home and tried to see if I can get a lock. No Luck. I waited about 20-30 minues trying to get a lock on the driveway from where I had a clear view of the sky.

[Android Apps and Games] vivekiny2k:
An app to make calls and record voice memos without having to unlock the screen or look at it.

After years of shying away from the new OS (WP, android, iOS) because of lack of control, I decided to give up my WM6.5 phone and write an app myself.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vivekiny2k.vcustomize

Vcustomize lets you make calls, record and listen to voice memo, turn on flash light, and tell time while the phone stays in its cover. Since Android does not allow keypress access to background services, I use proximity sensor to know when the phone is in cover and only then I bring the actual app up. This way it's almost invisible to the user. The sensor can be overridden though.

It's not perfect, but I am working with whatever resources android provides. I use it daily and could not live without it, despite the shortcomings. So I decided others should be able to benefit from it as well. I have tried to make the description as simple as possible, have uploaded a demo video, and made the app free with ad-support.

I hope to add more customizing options if there is enough interest.

Please send feedback and suggestions at vivekscustomizer@gmail.com

The only downside is you will not get any updates from network based apps (gtalk, messenger, email, whatsapp etc) when screen is turned off. but they will get updated in seconds after turning on the screen.
