Well I'm using redmi 3s too but I'm not sure how good it is cuz I've been playing 4+ hours of Pokémon go + normal activities like browsing+music so I got about 8+ hours SOT at 11% battery ⬅ .
I think it could last another hour if I totally exhaust the battery. ?

haha its not waterproof.most phones nowadays are made splashproof rather than waterproof so they can survive only a little while in water not much so dont try to sink it ok.even lg g5 was tested by sinking it in water for a while and it survived.but that does not mean its waterproof so be careful and do not let it get wet unless you are rich and you can afford another one right away hehe

where to buy redmi 3s from eu warehouse cheapest?

Not unless normal use means you don't actually use the phone... my battery lasts 36 hours max, that's with custom ROM and kernel.

With stock ics rom and kernel I get 24 hrs max with normal usage, including about half an hour of video 720p and 15 min of gameplay, 30 min of voice calls and probably 1-2 hours of txt and emails with some web surfing. Minimal use I could probably extract 36 hrs.
Screen is almost always at minimum brightness.
Great phone though custom rom and kernel will certainly improve battery life!

Yes decent phone battery life to me is crap with heavy ish use your lucky to get a day, No chance of 2 don't believe the hype
Also Sonys customer service and ability to update and keep customers informed is pretty horrific,
But it's a very good phone I've stuck with Sony for my last 3phones because they have the best design of all mobiles imo,
Soon though i think our update issues will be solved as Google has announced we will be getting aosp like the nexus updates
So hopefully we will be among the 1st to get updates,,,,best news ever

First of all, you put your phone in the toaster, and set it to maximum heat level. After that, some people recommend 3 minutes on high in a microwave, but 5 minutes at gas mark 9 in an oven usually does the trick.
And then, after that, you use the search function that came free with this forum, I hear it's feeling lonely and being neglected quite often.

No it doesn't, if you can get two days from an XS its by leaving it on the side with everything disabled. With the new ICS update I might get 1 day, probably Not though.But I don't know of any smartphone with dual/quad core and huge hd screen that is noticably better.

Overclocking and dead pixels

Hello guys, I just wanted to advice everyone to leave your phones alone when they get hot and don't overclock, especially on summers. Undervolt to 806mHz. I have noticed my first dead pixel because I was ignorant of the fact that getting the phone hot may burn the some pixels. So please be careful!

Everything has a reason to be. There has to be an explanation. I'll do some research, because I don't wanna have some BAM and WE ARE DEAD pixels.
Some pixels are just faulty. I think it's even covered by warranty and you could get a new device or a screen replaced if you're lucky.

Well you could always return to stock and relock it. They usually don't check with Sony if you've unlocked or not. Just tell them it came that way and you've only recently discovered it.
And good luck!

Why is it so strange? Any mechanical thing can get broken, or stuck.. or "just" "run out of power"..
crystals in LCD can get stuck.. also LCD's can get image persistence effect..
in OLED for example blue dies faster than red or green.
Sometime crystals that are stuck can be brought back to life.. same as sometimes image persistence effect can be removed..
On my phone, where is the status bar, when it shows a picture/movie with grey colors i can see a black line, and sometimes (when the phone is heated) i can even see the notifications shadows from status bar (i.e battery, clock etc). But that line is visible only on grey color, in any other color it's invisible. I have this problem since last summer, it was quite annoying at the beginning, but now i'm used to it, and it's not a problem anymore.

Mostly they don't check the status of bootloader, though as venoma told,you could always relock it and then take it from there

Can't say that I love to many things aside from family, my girl, and my corvette..... Today I got my Zu and I can add it to the list. This phablet is phenomenal. There really isn't a better word to describe it. I've had all the best phones ever made and this one puts all of them to shame. Sure the camera and speaker aren't anything special but this screen and smooth performance helps you forgive that very quickly. Anyone on the fence about getting one get off that fence and scoop one up. You won't regret it.

It's indeed amazing :good:
Yeah, I usually take my Nexus 4 to work with me, since I'm too busy to actually use my phone at work and so it would be pointless to carry around the XZU, so I frequently have 3-4 day stretches in which I don't use the XZU. Whenever I switch back for school or off days, it's kind of like turning it on for the first time again. The change is so nice.

Congrats. I plan on getting the Z Ultra later this month along with the Sony power case. It'll be replacing my ancient Xperia x10a, and while it will be monsterous in my shirt pocket, it will be glorious to use.
I'll also be picking up a new VAIO Flip 13" model to replace my old Sony Tablet S. Between that and the Z Ultra, my mobile experience should be amazing!
The Z1 got the "Smartphone of the year" award and the Tablet Z got "Tablet of the year" award in Norway yesterday, so Sony is doing something right!

After using it for 3 days, i can say that i have my money well spent.
Pros:
1. Dat screeeeeenn..
2. Wifi range is superb, can go to second floor (where the wifi is on the first) whereas with my previous devices they can't detect it.
3. With its large body, surprising that it still fits into my chest pocket
4. Battery Life is good, even though not as strong as my previous razr maxx but that is expected
5. Can't wait to take a break with KitKat!
Cons:
1. Camera overprocessing.
2. No easy root method for now.. but i have migrated from Titanium Backup into Helium app so no biggie.. Only no mod for me now
O yeah i have some tips for battery life:
1. Don't install google aosp camera with gallery. It will take media scanning twice and preventing Stamina Mode to work
2. Turn off Google+ auto backup, or only allow it to upload while charging
3. Better to full drain the phone once and then charge it while it's off. But after that, please trickle charge it before it reach 50%
4. Don't use the phone while charging. Better to disconnect and then continue after you're done.

This phone is amazing. Just like many of you, I have used a lot of flagship androids - but this baby is special. Phenomenal display, smooth performance, no more messing around with pinch zoom and much less scrolling. Camera could have been better, but you'll get over it in no time. I'll eat my pride and share my darkest secret - I don't finally miss my 'buttery smooth' iphone 3G from 2008

It's not as bad as you think but it is better to not do so. Because if you use it while charging, the high temperature will degrade battery faster. So unless you know that your usage is low and not heavy, better to disconnect it and charge again after the device is cool again.

BatteryUniversity says so. It's like running while eating, or fueling your car while you're racing. Not applicable for jet fighter unfortunately lol but you got the idea.. but to some extent, i agree that light usage will not cause harm into your battery (much).

He asked if it's BAD to use the phone when it's charging, and let's be honest, it's not like you'll kill your battery within a week if you do it. Are you playing Vice City for 5 hours while charging? THAT might be bad in the long run. Checking the weather and FB a couple of times every hour? Not gonna matter.

Actually, there is a simple fix to improve and increase speaker volume.
I use the XZ1 Volume boost, it works wonders.
- Increased internal - external speaker
- Increased headphone volume
- Increased volume call speaker

S6 edge or edge +?

Just wondering is it worth the extra dough to get the edge plus or just get the edge? In the market for a new phone and I am stuck on the two and the nexus 6 is catching my eye as I need to tether and I do have foxfi but more and more phones are not working on it. Please give me some info to help me choose. I was a die hard HTC fan but the past few phones has left a kinda sour taste in my mouth and need something new.
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
Its definitely worth the extra money for the plus. The only thing is if you are wondering if you can root it, the phone bricks itself and says you have rooted it. I think it forces you to do a factory reset to use the phone again. If you aren't a person who roots their devices, or you can live without rooting it, this is the perfect phone for you. I absolutely love this phone except for the whole root situation...

I got the plus in the end. I have rooted my phone in the past but as long as foxfi works I have no need for root. I am enjoying this phone more than I thought I would

I was a rooter all the way but then realized I did it mostly to squeeze out every drop off performance. Edge+ is so fast that I don't miss rooting. And we can disable apps on this phone which does allow for even more performance. Octa-core rocks!

I need it, more performance is needed for me, it doesn't transition as smoothly as i thought it would, i still see stutters here and there, though the ram management is somewhat better than my previous phone, though it's still disappointing that even with 4gb of ram it doesn't hold apps in the background as well as the htc m9, battery life is somewhat a letdown as it's near the same or worse than my previous phone, though it could just be my phone probably has a defective battery. Just glad this thing has fast charge or else i would've thrown it away with frustration or returned it.

Is there any way to do this? Unfortunately, for whatever dumb reason the Samsung themes do not (cannot?) theme in call UI.
