If your not using your screen much which clearly your not then it is going to be something other than screen at the top, learn how percentages work.

Actually it IS a known issue and there are a few threads on it already.

How is this an issue? Like Lennyuk said, if you don't use your phone that much, then obviously standby would be the nr. 1. power drain.

Actually, both arguments could be correct...
Unless the stock software is extremely efficient, and makes the screen somehow super efficient, then it would be normal for standby to be that high. Another point to note, is are you complaining about battery life? or just the fact that a number on some statistics is high and you don't like it?
The counter argument to that is, if you look at mine on CM9, cell standby is a lot lower. Make of that what you want.

[Q] LED indicator on S II

Hi Guys
I was curious to know whether there is an LED indicator on the S II (i had an atrix before, and kinda got used to the blinking LED for notifications.) . The captivate dint have it either. I wonder whether any of the samsung phones has this feature at all.

No, there isn't. But there'll be alternatives! There's already a topic on this with a few good replies.
EDIT: Try looking at this, should hopefully answer a few questions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024473

just remember, when the zombies come one night, they will go first after all those LED-endowed people with blinking lights on them.

HaHaHa... Classic.
Although I did wish for some sort of a LED indicator, but wont miss it as I don't have it on the iPhone anyway.
Bln-control could be used..not as bright but still does the work.

When i dial a number I get a water dripping sound ...

... but when I delete a mis-typed digit I don't get a water sucky-up sound - this absolute RUBBISH.
Other than this, 8 weeks in, I've not found another fault with the phone.
Just saying, that's all.
Sound of sucky up water .

used to have it when I unlocked the screen every time. later realized it was a background app giving connectivity error. check your dialer's settings.
Yes i heard that sound too when i dropped my phone in the toilet, crazy stuff

Getting an S3 tonight, what to look out for?

Possibly swapping my 4s for a S3 tonight.
what do I look out for on the S3, EG common issues, hardware and software?
Volume buttons can sometimes be sticky, screen defects such as scratches. Thats about it really.

all seems well, the battery is better then that 4S
Check if there're any build issues or light bleed on the left edge of the bezel(some white units had this problem),check for dead pixels and last thing is to check the model number.Make sure it's I9300.

Been the s3 is so far superior than the iPhone you are getting an amazing deal. Just make sure there's no defects. I would enter this deal with allot of caution.
deal is done
S III
Is sound
It unlocked, but o2 branded
so I'm left wondering if debrandning with generic.
Done the debrand, was easy peasy

Dimple on back of HTC One? Normal?

Does anyone else have a dimple/dent that goes from the bottom of the rear camera to the AT&T logo? Its like a line dent.
Thanks
Nope
Nope... Let me guess you didn't do anything that will cause it?

Thats the way it came.. I guess I could take it back to AT&T and have them pull out another one to compare and return it if the other one is not dented..
A guy at best buy said it had something to do with teh 0 space deign or something.. I think he was full of it..
I have a random dent/dimple on my HTC One on the right side of the back; I never dropped the phone or anything. It's my work phone so I'm not going to go jumping through hoops for a replacement because I have a case on it but if it was my personal device I'd be exchanging it in a heart beat.
I have strange, antenna like structures coming out of my One's earphone jack, and they seem to be watching me, spooky.

I had three of them around the camera. Looked like zits. I took it right back in to best buy and exchanged it. The new one doesn't have it. So if you got it I'd recommend an exchange.

I went to AT&T on the 15 th day thinking I had plenty of time. Guess I should've read the receipt. I was thinking I still had 30 days to return it,, Oh well. It's not that noticeable, but I know it's there, so it bothers me a little..

[Q] How much for a used i9300?

Hey folks,
My friend is selling her i9300 to me and I want to make the deal as fair as possible.
Some things to keep in mind:
- The phone is 1 year old, used.
- There's a small crack on the glass in the right upper corner. Not affecting the display at all.
- The battery has it's up and downs. She had some problems with it draining like crazy for no reason.
- She's also had problems with it not charging. She'd charge it for the entire night (at 5%) and it's at 40% when she unplugged it in the morning.
However, the last two problems mentioned have not occurred for some time now.
No guarantee if it will re-occur.
Would 200euro be a reasonable price? There's still 1 year Samsung warranty on it.
Im planning on getting the Zerolemon 2300mAh battery pack as well. That would cost me around 25eu to replace the stock battery.
So, what do you guys think?
Jae Ryuu
200 euro seems like a fair price.
@Theshawty,
Thank you for your response.
I will be waiting for more responses to see if the other members agree

I agree.
The small crack is purely cosmetic, maybe you'd even be able to cover it with a case.
The battery is replaceable so no problem there.
The phone is under warranty for 1 more year.
I think it's a very good deal for you.
Okay! Thanks for your responses. I made the deal and I feel very content about it.
Oh and sorry for posting this in the wrong section. My bad!
Go with a new stock battery much better in quality than the zero lemon.

Go for the Anker 2200mah because you can get the NFC version for about €10 and actually does have higher capacity than original, and after 5 months it's holding more capacity than the first 5 months using original battery so has good quality cells and no noticeable overheating problems.
