Based on the screenshot you shared - try and figure out what's keeping your phone awake so much!!! There are some good apps for this on the market IIRC. cya R | ||

My friend purchased a Lenovo ,he was not very happy with it.I think Lenova has no phones with snapdragon processor,all are mediatec or atom processor.I don't mean ,mediatec is bad,but snapdragon is the best. In my experience best after sales service in India is by Sony.Even if you are out of warranty they will either repair it or swap the product with latest model for 50 % discount . I recently got 50 % discount on new PS3 320 GB ,when my old PS3 40 gb was damaged. Sony Xperia M2 has 1.2 GHz quadcore snapdragon processor ,8 MP camera but RAM is 1gb ,price around 19000 Rs. http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/...pecifications/ Sony Xperia T2 ultra priced at 21000 Rs has 1.4 GHz quadcore snapdragon processor with 13 MP camera,but RAM 1 GB. http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/...eria-t2-ultra/ HTC Desire 700 priced around 18000 Rs, has decent specs too apart from 1GB ram. http://www.htc.com/in/smartphones/htc-desire-700/#/ Lenovo K900 is a stylish phone at around 20000 RS has 2 GB RAM,but processor is not snapdragon,it runs on dual core atom,said to be not that great when compared to snapdragon.Also no provision for micro sd card. Lenovo Vibe X also looks good at first ,priced around 18000 Rs,but its quad core processor is mediatec,which is no match to snapdragon.It has fixed memory at 16 gb .The plus point is 2 gb ram. Lenovo P780 ,good option has quad core processor and expandable memory.But RAM is only 1 gb . If you are OK with Indian brands ,Micromax canvas Knight is a good phone ,you might get it below 20000 Rs .It has 1.7 GHz Octa Core Processor and 2 GB ram,only downside is limited memory at 16 gb.It has very good build quality. Micromax canvas Turbo has 1.5 GHz quad core processor ,2 gb ram ,full HD display ,and 13 MP camera ,is only 14500 Rs now ( My father is using a micromax canvas turbo since last 6 months ,never had any issues) Service of micromax is said to be good for an Indian company. But there are few good chinese brands with decent spec close to 20000 Rs mark.They are Gionee elife e6 (price 19000 Rs) ,elife S5.5( price 21000 Rs) and oppo R1 . ( my wife is using elife e6 since last 6 or 7 months had no issues . ) Among these Oppo R1 is the best, but comes close to 25000 Rs. http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/revi...e-phone-540811 http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news...n-india-547889 In short , I think its better to have 2 gb ram ,if you are going for mediateck processor,but opt for minimum quadcore. If you are going for brands like HTC or Sony ,they have qualcomm snapdragon quadcore processor,so 1 GB ram might not be a problem ,look for added features like camera and expandable memory. Please stay away from Intel atom processor and samsung exynos processors,since battery issues and heating issues are said to be common. Last edited by aah78 : 30th July 2014 at 04:27.

If you are very keen on 2 GB, Huawei Honor 3c is perhaps the least expensive phone currently to have that. But again its on JB and do not expect any updates ever. Or you could consider a Windows phone which give better performance than Android on even 512 kB RAM. And now most are with 1 GB. Swiftkey is bloated and sluggish. Try Touchpal.

| ![]() WAIT! http://www.mi.com/my/mi3/ has been announced in India - supposed to be happening via FK. As u can see above, their Malaysian price is RM 769 or 15k INR. You cannot get better specs in that price, period! https://www.facebook.com/14959883906...068644/?type=1 should help you. Its supposed to come for just under 10.5k in Malaysia. Quote:

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Quote: I'm only concerned about the service network though. I'm also considering the Moto G going by recommendations from a close pal. The only glitch is my current phone and the Moto G has a 5MP camera. I was looking for a decent upgrade (to 8MP at least) in the new phone. How good is the camera on the MotoG? Is this a deal breaker considering my requirements? Edit - any idea about Huawei phones? | |

I wanted to change the phone since the software was faulty. An update might have fixed it , but I insisted on a new phone from my seller (sun times Jayanagar) who asked me to get a DOA certificate from the service center. I was referred to the "authorized service center" in Jayanagar 4th block (pramanik mobile service zone ). He had the phone in his custody for two days and refused to give me the DOA nor share the mail communications with Huawei . Besides this , he was rude , kept lying and insulting me. Huawei service is horrible. Unless you want to experience such kind of an ordeal , stay away from this brand. The build quality on the phone is very average and heats up very fast while using 3G or WiFi. About Moto G: I have been using it for 2 months now , the phone build quality is good , performs nicely . Do not expect too much from the camera , you need to use HDR mode to get decent photos. A sample image from a recent trip . http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/attach...755748_hdr.jpg The phone has not hanged or frozen till now. I play deer hunter , which is supposed to be a very demanding game. I have not experienced any lags so far . Last edited by girimajiananth : 1st July 2014 at 11:22. | ||

It's impossible to tell until they actually announce it. Remember for the previous version everyone was sure it was going to be Keylime Pie - and then it was unveiled as KitKat! cya R In other news - its mindblowing that a company like Google can't fix a simple bug like the "Hangouts" chat not automatically scrolling up as new messages are sent! ![]() | |

Pictures in broad daylight are only one way to compare. What really matters is performance in adverse conditions like low light. Moto G cam seems mediocre at best. It's weakest point. Last edited by Raccoon : 1st July 2014 at 14:44. | |

| ![]() My nexus 5 is really turning out to be very poor in the battery department. I had hoped that with the recent android upgrades they would have addressed this. But it seems to have become worse. The battery hardly lasts me 10 hours after a full charge with moderate usage. |

| ![]() I checked (using wireshark) what "Wireless storage" really does on my G2. It does SMB (Samba) file transfer and not FTP. |
