ender4 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) 1000 messages a day?! and your battery lasts 2 days? My S3 battery lasted about 12 hours, if I was lucky. And that was with sending about 2 messages a day, and using it for basically nothing else! very strange. so i charged mine overnight last night - its now 1pm and i've sent/read whatsapp messages back and forth all morning (say around 400 messages), i've been on the internet 4-5 times, checked facebook, been in a couple of other apps, no calls & no texts though. its now at 80%. the afternoon will be the same usage, so by this evening it'll be at 60%. easily get another day's usage, so not point charging it overnight till the next night.

Stevo985 Posted June 6, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted June 6, 2014 Then you have a magical phone. I don't know anyone with an S3 who gets anywhere near that. Also, 400 messages in one morning? Really? who on earth are you messaging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? who on earth are you messaging? i'm in a fair few groups - a group of my friends, a work group, an old works group, a cousins group, a family group, a 'boys chat' group, a footy chat group, a gaming group, etc... a new message pops up on average probably every 30 seconds, and if i don't check my phone for an hour i can have 100's of messages from various groups. i have whatsapp on silent, so i don't get a buzz/beep each time i get a message, but i just check my phone every few minutes and catch up on the various messages that have been posted, and post my replies to each thread.

Lighting the screen every few mins will be far more battery intensive than a single beep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Lighting the screen every few mins will be far more battery intensive than a single beep. oh, i don't have it on silent to save battery power (as i have no battery usage issues), its on silent purely because it would do my head in if it beeped every few seconds everytime a message was posted. plus i'm at work, and people would wonder what the hell was going on.

I'm sure they do anyway if you are checking your phone every few minutes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I've never heard of anyone messaging so much on a mobile device. You must be incredibly fast at typing and on your phone all of the time. And have one of those massive extended batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I've never heard of anyone messaging so much on a mobile device. You must be incredibly fast at typing and on your phone all of the time. And have one of those massive extended batteries. You've never heard of anyone messaging that much? I'd say i probably IM the least out of everyone i know. I don't think i've rang or texted or emailed or facebooked a friend in the last 3 years - everyone chats through IM. Don't forget i'm not writing a 1000+ messages a day, thats the total messages per day that i'm either writing or reading. i probably write 100-200 a day. its just like talking really, so you'll easily type 5-8 messages a minute. so if have a quick 5 min chat with a friend, that'll be 30-40 messages just there. its not like texting or emailing where you say everything in one message, its conversational. so a lot of messages will be a couple of words long. I assure you its a pretty normal amount of messaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On topic, had my Nexus 4 for about 6 months and it sreally is still the bees knees. On;y gripe (like many phones of this type) I end up having to stick it on charge about 8pm if I'm surfing the net whilst watching TV. Other than that I can't see any reason to chnage it. p.s. had a system update last night, assume others did too, Android 4.4.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 My S3 is so slow. Tempted to use Cynamoged or whatever it is called. Just hassle to back everything up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted June 10, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2014 I ended up hating my s3. Anybody used the Xperia Z? Any good? I use the Xperia Ultra, same shit, bigger screen. I've put the Google play edition rom on it but I used the original rom for a few months before that and I liked it. MUCH less intrusive and heavy when compared to touchwiz on Samsung. Sony are pretty fast with upgrading their phones as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
