There is now a official jellybean leak as well and its very stable.

A friend was sitting on the fence coz of this. Ordered now. Thanks!

Any reviews/feedback/user opinions on Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini? As Nexus 4 is not available am looking for other choices.
I would like to know more about call quality, camera and battery performance.

Please advise!

Got the 'black' model HTC Desire VC from IT Park, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai. They included a 8 gb Sandisk free. you can also try a shop called Digitalworld on FC Road, Deccan, Pune for the best deals.....

AT&T Atrix2 folks like me are eagerly waiting for JB. Hope to get it soon!

Hi All

I bought a galaxy note in may and i was fine with the battery life till a month ago.

Initially i had installed batter saver app ,it didnt make much difference but still had it.After the ICS upgrade the apps didnt work so i uninstalled a few months ago.

After that usually over night 2 to 5% of battery use to drain ,but now 20+% of battery drains ,now is that normal or is there a problem with my battery?

I think you should do a factory reset and if jellybean is available, you should get it.

Seems like your phone is not going to deep sleep. Get BetterBatteryStats from xda and look for what is keeping it awake all the time.

GSAM battery monitor is also a good program. Guys, i had a question. My friend's Galaxy S3 (its a US version, the Tmobile one), gets horrible battery life whenever he is in India (he is on Airtel), but whenever he is back home in the US, battery life is just fine; what could be causing this?

Most probably the inconsistent network in India compared to the more stable and powerful network in US. Battery consumption increases when signals keep dropping or increasing constantly over a time. Maybe the signals are more unstable than tolerable range in the area where your friend uses his mobile while he is in India.

Was he using 3G here? Then I would suspect switching between 3G/H+/2G. Is fast dormancy disabled on his phone? (*#9900# on my SII)

Hi anybody here using XOLO X900? With recent price drops looks like a good buy.any heads up on SAR values will be great help. Seeing values of ~1.46 in some sites.

Good phone runs on ICS. Dont bother too much about SAR values.

I read in Motorola forums that A2 wont be getting JB. ICS was rolled out last year. I updated to ICS through OTA. Sadly no JB

Indian Atrix2 can be flashed with china JB. Multiple forums like xda have threads in it. Its pretty good and stable! However AT&T isn't compatible.
