The best thing I liked about the Galaxy Y since I bought it is its Routing capabilities. I spent a few days trying to figure out from which port was the phone's modem accessible (for nokia its port 1). Then I found out that the phone acts as a router, not a modem.
On linux, I simply plugged in the phone to my laptop via cable and ran
and this thing was auto discovered and used as a router. This router can be used to access both 3G/EDGE as well as WiFi through USB interface. Really good for those who have laptops with wifi driver issues, or those on desktops who wish to access a wifi network.
Android is battery hungry. On call battery has a good life but on internet, GPS, 3G as they use screen brightness too the battery life if not good.
Seriously avoid making random statements without using something the right way.
Any phone where you keep a gazillion widgets and apps running when you don't need them, with WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth and GPS on at the same time, you will obviously end up wasting battery life.
I've seen this "issue" happen on a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, a bunch of androids and even a HTC Touch (winmo device).
If you wish to have an optimum battery life, turn off WiFi, 3G/EDGE, GPS and Bluetooth when they are not needed. Use the Android task manager to kill off unwanted apps.
how is the battery life of galaxy Y, with moderate talking and a little chatting browsing ?
is there any call receiving issues while the phone is locked ?
For me with moderate use the battery lasts about 36 hours (a day and a half). Galaxy Y has a smaller battery capacity compared to fellow androids but the smaller screen I guess balences things out.
And no there is no call receiving issues while the phone is locked. Whenever there is a call, simply press the answer button on the headset or hold and drag the onscreen answer button to the right.
