Hello folks a friend of mine got galaxy s3 mini and he wants to trade it with my atrix4g would you recommend it?
Im kinda sick of GB but also love the battery life what would you do?

Definitely. Mali GPU, removable battery so you can get an extended one, jelly bean etc.

Its hard....but I think you may want to look at this:
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5033&idPhone2=3708
I think you should stick with the atrix...1930 mAh vs 1500 mAh...My sister have a S2 and she have to plug the phone all the time...my atrix last (on CM7) 2 days and some time more...
You have to wait a little longer for the 3.1 kernel to be complete....and then....ICS/JB fully working for the atrix will be release...
If you love battery life, stick with Atrix.

well thats what I'm worried about are we getting a fully working ICS or JB ?? I don't think so to be honest
Why do i get more battery life in all site (phone arena , GSM... ect ) for the s3 mini and its only 1500 mAh ???
change phone. its only a matter of time before your digitizer gives up...

S3 mini has updated hardware and should be newer. I'd think about the exchange. It seems like it can last a day on normal use but maybe you're an avid user.

Lol did not think of that.. Well his cell is 3 month used only so i think it might be a good deal

If it is a straight up trade yes. If you don't like the s3 mini you can always sell it and buy a couple atrixes

Like the topic says, I have both the Atrix (which I <3) and the droid bionic (GSM unlocked). I would like to keep both, but I would rather sell one to get something else, so which would you keep and why?
My requirements for these phones are webtop and ICS, neither has the latter just yet...
Bionic vs Atrix = Bionic
if xt875,bionic.

My friends battery on his bionic sucks and he has an extended battery, my Atrix on neutrino lasts longer. For me battery life is important.

I think I am running that Nutrino rom, I'll have to look. I would use the phone more often, but alas it sits in a drawer too much recently, well ever since getting a Galaxy S2 and all, kinda hard to compete there...
Hi I've a galaxy nexus and a s3. The s3 has a bigger battery and was meant to have great battery.. But im finding it hard to get 4 hrs screen on time on my s3 while i could easily get 5 on my galaxy nexus.. I've to charge my s3 sometimes twice a day...
Im running cm10. Maybe when cm10 is stable it might improve

my phone lasts 1 day with 5-6 hrs screen on time with no problem..the s3 battery is way better than the nexus one
Nexus has proper drivers. Samsung closed source the SIII drivers. It makes a difference.
So will cm10 improve my battery when sources are available

I had the galaxy nexus about 3 months ago and paired with a good kernel I could get 4 hours and some Change on screen time. But nothing touches the S3 ( not you razr maxx) in terms of battery life ( I9300). If I can make a recommendation, try android revolution HD 2.3.0 for a couple of days. You should be satisfied.

Is HTC still planning on updating this thing to ICS or have they just decided to scrap it? Has there been any official word from them regarding the Tbolt's fate? Some guy at Radioshack told me HTC has officially cancelled the ICS update, but I haven't seen or heard any other source so far that mirrors his assertion.
Have any of you guys read anything regarding whether or not ICS is still a go for us Tbolt owners?
Was wondering the same
I'll put it this way just give up hoping and you will feel better in about a week. Then when its cancelled officially you're not bummed. Then if by an act of god its released. you can be pleased by the news. We are going on what 5 months from the original release date? I think by now we can put the horse out to pasture with these threads every month.
Look at the facts this phone is about to hit its second anniversary. Another is its not a nexus device as that seems to be the only brand that gets updates even after the phone is old.

And how old is the oldest nexus? I bet my sox they won't always get that treatment.
But yeah there's only a dozen threads like this and some of them are still getting new posts.

I agree with everything that said here HTC says they will be coming out with another ICS update for all phones with greater than 512 MB of memory this would have 768. But the normal next up is one gig of memory the best thing to do is go back to gingerbread under volt your CPU and get a resound battery. between under voting and the Rezound battery I have passed up upgrades for the last six months because my phone not only last longer than when I got it but faster.
Even if this phone does get ics the battery will be cut in half. Ics it's a great selling point when you want to Craig's list it but the power drain will bee twice what it was on gingerbread
The power drain on ICS won't be twice as fast. What even makes you think that? In all reality it should be twice as good since ICS handles resources better and uses hardware rendering for the ui freeing up CPU cycles.

Galaxy nexus is a prime example. Look at all the newer ics phones out there. Their battery like is like double ours. Its proven ics doesn't improve battery life. The gnex is a prime example as its battery size is somewhere close to ours. Even running twisted ics rom battery life is no better than a gb aosp rom. So I think you are in for a rude awakening when and if we get ics. I never heard Google say battery life with ics was suppose to be better. That's just what board member started. We all know the main power drain on phones are the screens. How can an os upgrade improve an old screen in being more efficient? In the end battery life on the bolt will either be the same or worse. Don't even think our little weak battery is going to have the same performances as the larger extended battery's.

Simply that any information on the topic already exists there. The ics update is in final carrier testing and will probably be out by the end of the year or mid January

The galaxy nexus also has a faster processor than this phone and sports a super amoled screen. Nexus phones are like muscle cars, they're fast as hell but man does the mpg suck.
I can verify that ICS won't make the battery life worse. I had my Nexus S 4G when ICS released and going from Gingerbread 2.3.7 to ICS 4.0 made a huge difference in battery life. I suddenly didn't have to carry my charger with me to college.

It would probably be different for the bolt. I'm sure sense will slurp down the battery like it's cool.

Everyone says that the dual core processors are suppose to be more forgiving on power useage. Beings it doesn't have to work as hard like our single core processors do. I have seen the newer corvettes get close to 30 MPG. Its not the power but the gearing that really sucks gas lol.
Sent from my SHIFTAO5P using Tapatalk 2
Ive never heard anyone say dual core saves battery. The lte chip in the phone is what sucks the battery most of the time. The newer phones like the dna have the lte chip embedded in the cpu which helps save battery. A friend of mine has one and can talk for an hour on the phone and only lose 7%. He can go almost an entire day without putting it on charge.

Totally unacceptable. I'd take my BlackBerry off the charger at 7AM Friday morning, use it heavily Friday, lightly on Saturday and Sunday, I'd have to recharge Sunday night. That's acceptable.
I still have an old BB 9650, I'm so tempted to re-activate it.....

Hmmm yea i highly doubt that blackberry has half the power of even a thunderbolt so if thats what it takes for you to make it through the day then more power to you.

By comparison, I can't get 12 hours on the T'Bolt running NuSense and just over 12 hours running Infected ROM.
That's with all the tricks I can find and swapping Rezound batteries.
The T'Bolt is just a battery hog, most BBs have much longer battery life.
NOTE: I hear constantly that Sense uses a lot of juice but I have very little difference with de-sensed ROMs and...... I LIKE Sense.

Dude, you cant really compare any blackberry to an android device. BlackBerry isn't even close to the power that android has. Also, nusense had to use an incomplete rom as a base which has had a huge affect on the battery life. Considering what has been done to nusense i have to give huge props to Santod for taking a crappy leak and making it great.

I am thinking about getting the T Mobile HTC One, currently I have a Note2. I am wondering how the battery life compares to the Note2. Anyone switch from the Note2 and how's the comparison?

Battery life is terrible compared to the Note. I can still get a decent 10-12 hours but I could easily get twice that on the Note. I'd still prefer this phone over anything out right now, though.

I second this. The LG Optimus G Pro and the Droid Maxx are the only phones in the Note 2's battery class. Everything else sucks comparatively. I get good battery life out of my One though. I can easily get thru a whole day without having to charge it. And if I ever do need to charge it it charges pretty quickly.

I have an iPhone 4s and I'm planning to change to Samsung Galaxy s3 or maybe a Note III (since there's a rumor that it'll be out). I use my phone 24/7 and I wanna know which phone's battery lasts longer? o::victory:
All depends on what you are doing with the phone. Heavy user or not.
The note III is supposed to be a battery beast.
The s3 is ok. I have seen people saying it lasts longer than the old iphone and also the opposite. So, I would say there is no big difference. I have bough the samsung 3000mAh battery and cannot complain

Battery on my S3 isn't great, it's better than my xperia U, but I'm still pretty disappointed. Got a Moto G for a friend though and that thing is a battery beast.

S3 and Iphone 4s have exactly the same battery drain. Maybe S3 will last a little longer,max 30 min.
Btw,firstly,Note 3 is out,already for a while. Secondly,Note is highly recommended,as it can last 7 hours of screen-on time and performance is beast. It's ideally designed for heavy users.
You can buy an s3 an put the Liquid Smooth Rom On it works Very Very Smooth better then the original and also you can flash custom Kernel that Optimize your Battery life i do That too and my battery still keeping full after a long Schoolday (listening music, playing games and so on)
