BHPian ![]() | ![]() I also think that both Note 3 and Xperia Z1 are good. It basically comes down to our own choice as to what we want from a phone. I chose Z1 due to its compact size and the tough body. The Snapdragon 800 processor is a beast. My previous phone was Note 2. So it is definitely a super nice upgrade. Screen is nice too with punchy colours and good sharpness. |

| ![]() My wife's Samsung Galaxy S duos has a strange issue : Although its a dual sim phone, currently there's only one sim inside. After each 60 secs, there's an automatic message "refreshing sim data .. " and the phone temporarily shows no signal. This lasts for 2-3 seconds. If someone calls in this interim, the caller hears "the number you are trying to connect is currently switched off.." Is this a known issue? Any help ![]() Last edited by ankan.m.blr : 30th October 2013 at 21:22. |

this issue is known not just for Duos but for some more models. some people reported this solution: Settings → More settings → mobile networks → Network mode → (select) GSM only Note: this is useful only when your wife is not using 3G data. because 3G data needs WCDMA mode enabled. other solution if you need 3G data mode enabled, get your sim changed (keeping the number same). |

What the 20MP camera is doing (when set to 8MP) is pixel binning. Its trying to intelligently combine several pixels data. Doesnt mean it will always work. (8MP) bigger pixel will always gather much more light (than 20MP one) and will have higher dynamic range. Would be useful in low light. 20MP camera will have more details (in good light) though. | |

That aside, a question for Galaxy S3 users - which non-laggy debloated fast ROM is recommended? I am okay staying with OEM but something tells me life wouldnt be so simple ![]() | |

![]() 1. Root [Quite straightforward for S3 : http://galaxys3root.com] 2. Decrappify like a Windows laptop (E.g : http://getandroidstuff.com/how-to-di...pp-quarantine/ ) 3. Once RAM Usage is reasonable, install any launher you like This way, you dont have to worry about Camera Driver / Noice Cancellation with secondary mike etc with custom ROMs. Or if you are planning a US visit in near future, just pick "Google Edition" of S4. | |
