what about the bootloader ?
Sony warns beforehand that after unlocking bootloader, No warranty claim will be entertained
They make you enter IMEI on their website to get the unlock code ...

I have a SGS2, i should say that its also not good as far as battery is concerned. How about extending battery life with a more powerful battery?
I am not sure if it will damage the phone but there seems to be quite a few companies selling more powerful batteries for these hi end smartphones.

Arguably Every Android Phone has same issue.

@masterkd: usage pattern during those 3 days?

 

[Sujeet]

^^atleast no HD gaming @masterkd..correct???

 

[masterkd]

^nope..just 15 mins of angry birds space(not HD)..not have enough time for games
mainly used in call, FM and internet using 3G!!

 

[Sujeet]

Still 3Days Backup with such usage is damn good for a phone like GNote.

well, there are batteries with higher capacities but they are bulky and have to be used with a different back cover....and i am not sure how effective these batteries are....

Arguably Every Android Phone has same issue.

yes,but sensation has sensationally poor battery untill you root and underclock.....i read somewhere it dies in 8 hours

WTF! my 3.2' device doesn't give me that kind of battery life.......
what tweaks??

 

[R2K]

@masterkd
Are you running custom ROM in your device?

 

[Sujeet]

^^Dont seems so...

 

[choudang]

guys, after updating the software while making video call thru skype its using back camera and there is no option to use front camera on xperia mini x10. before that front camera was available, now from yesterday onwards it was not found.

updated thru OTA, i don't know the version yet. i need to ask first as i am not carrying that phn

 

[Renny]

1. yes it is possible.
2. its your wish. you can continue using the stock rom. but you have unlocked bootloader, rooted for a reason.
3. same as 1.
4. best way is to reflash the stock rom.

Exactly how Sam? I've been searching XDA and the net, but haven't come across any info.

 

[maverick786us]

Has anyone officially received software update to Android 4.X ICS in their SG-2 from Vodafone yet??

 

[masterkd]

@masterkd

Nope..its on stock ROM!!

call you tell me more, did you use GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi often? any juice defence type softwares? brightness level is set lowest manually since beginning?

what tweaks??

• Brightness is set to 0-20%(approx) depending on requirement, credit goes to the awesome display of the device which produces superb display even on 0% brightness.
• didn't use GPS in this testing period.
• used Wifi for approx 1 hour.
• Kept an eye if any unwanted app or service running in background.
• used 3G for 6-7 hrs.
• FM for 7-7.5 hrs
• System power saving is on

EDIT:

• total screen on time: 8 hrs. approx
• call(2G): 30mins-40mins(don't recall correctly)
