I've seen a few threads with this question already asked but there doesn't seem to be an enqual consensus about the topic. Is there anyone who has ran art for a considerable amount of time that can tell me if its really worth it? I've been on the fence for awhile.
Ive used art fot about 2 months and I am really really happy with it.. people say they face errors with it but for me it worked perfect

how's battery life been for you?
Very good... switching between apps is much smoother and battery stays...
I generally don't play heavy games but I use whatsapp.. my phone gives me a good amount of standby .... charge it in the morning and you'll have to plug in around 8 or 9 at night

lol i announced that i was leaving the vibrant and these guys really tried to trash the g2x...
i don't see how someone moving to another phone can upset some? make no sense. plus op is thanking devs....
enjoy ur new phone dude...nothing like a new phone
Cool stuff, man. Update this thread and let us know how you like it. I've been considering purchasing one, as well.
So far battery drain like no other phone I had screen auto brightness kills the quality very horrible I think ics needs an update a bit sluggish compare when I installed alphav3 ics on the g2x

This is why I'm really hoping they work on better battery management for phones coming out in 2012. Does anybody really need a 2ghz quadcore phone when there battery will just die in 3 hrs? I'm perfectly content on 1ghz cpu's(there fast enough) hopefully with any luck future phone displays,cpus,gpus,etc all work together on ICS to bring a couple days of real time use, instead of just a couple hours without having to buy extended batteries/charge etc..

That's what I'm saying man. They're moving too fast with these processor cores. I say, take a year off on engineering processors and spend that time on extending battery life and make better batteries. I'm more than content with dual cores as it is.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Best way to extend battery life is to work on the cpu. If you shrink the cpu the it will use less watts per cycle. Also nvidia made a smart upgrade with its quad core by putting in a fifth slow main core. So work in parallel. Engineers work on making the cpu efficient and programmers should stop being lazy. It's not like these companies can't multi task
Sent from my NookColor using xda premium
They said the same thing about dual core saving battery life, that was a joke! Only way I get decent battery life is with my 3500mah extended.
Still I do agree that those 28nm krait s4 chips should take less battery usage, but I'm talking about more then just achieving much longer overall battery life from multiple factoring issues android has(better displays,gpu,cpu,larger stock OEM batteries,ui,etc) hopefully ICS and jellybean really step up to provide the ultimate android experience without having to charge our phones every 4-6 hr's lol

Really how can you do that?!?! Do you use your phone at all or do you leave it on standby??
Sent from my G2x running EaglesBlood 2.5
I am using eaglesbloods latest and using morfics elp kernel. I only get battery life like this when I'm in good service areas all day fyi. When I install a rom I really like, I erase the entire phone, reformat everything literally, then load the rom and kernel from USB mount in clockwork mod. I feel its best to have a completely clean flash. Then I charge the phone to 100 and calibrate battery stats. Some days I get battery life where I'm at 20% at 20 hours, others much much better. I'm always using the phone moderately. When I first read tthis and checked I was at 60% at 20 hours. Tried to post a screenshot bur it wouldn't work ... def. not pulling your left though. Also the only thing I sync is email every half hour. I uninstalled Facebook because it always runs in the background... makes me uncomfortable.

A less than 5 inch screen will give us extra hours of battery and the good thing i am expecting is around a 6-8 hour of on screen time with wifi. So i guess it will help us in long hour browsing and this will be the key selling point of s4. Rather than the android versions and stock android competition with the upcoming motorola x phone.

My note has a 2500 mah battery and with a 5.3 screen i get 4 to 4 and a half hour of on screen time with browsing.
So a 5 inch screen with a 3100mah battery and a power efficient soc will definitely give 6-8 hours and thats when i will say that the phones have exceeded the usability of a laptop and notebooks. Many people including me are using their phone as primary device at work.
For me my note is my computer at hospital.

Hello I just got my gs4 on Saturday and I have to say that im not as impressed as I thought I would be.
The phone gets quite hot during almost anything. Also is no where near as snappy as my rooted inspire (1.0 ghz single core with less than 1 gb ram). This phone is awesome as far as opening more draining apps like facebook.
I wouldn't think that rooting is needed to be quicker than a 2.5 year old phone...
At this point im considering trading it in for a gs3 or htc one....
And mine is definitely laggy

If it's getting very hot with little usage then I'd exchange it for another.
Also, an update was released today that pretty much solved the lag issues..
Mine got pretty warm last night while playing a simple solitaire game...
It was also eating battery pretty fast.
I rebooted it and it seemed to go away.

mine gets stupid hot for the smallest things I surf the web for about five mins and you cant even put up to your ear to make a call TO HOT.. I returned it and got it exchanged and that device is also getting way to hot. I might just return the GS4 seems like a big issue out there I googled the problem and see that most people are having the issue. IDK 7 more days and I.m stuck with it... any other phone would be a downgrade.

There is probably something wrong with your phone and the next one. Bad luck I guess. It never gets hot on normal use for me. The only time it gets hot for me is when playing high end games.

Unless you dont mind being mocked for talking on a tablet I would avoid any phone larger than the s4. The note two has its place and it to me is only worthwhile if you carry a purse.... it's a great device but not practical in my opinion, I mean how do you carry that thing?

I wish I wasnt as affected but I hate when ppl comment on how large my phone is...and I think its because I agree and wish it was smaller. A 4.5 or so with the the same build as this s4 would be mich nicer. And by that I mean a screen that efficiently uses the face of the phone.
Its really tough to determine what is the he perfect size screen and I think over time we will become more tolerant of the pocket consumption. I mean look at the inspire or other older 4.2...it was huge for its time but now its really not considered that anymore.
With that said for the time being I think 4.5 with the smallest possible chassis would be the best.

I need ideas on a new tablet. My wife has this note 8.0 which is rather nice to me but... if I was gonna spend $200-250 is there anything else I should get rather than a note 8.0?
I love custom roms.. I'd love an IR blaster.. larger screen is a maybe.. I'd love it to last two years before abandon by the community.
I don't want a 7in really.. they feel cheap. I don't want less than 1.5gb ram, I don't need 3/4g- simply wifi
Thanks for the ideas!

I recommend the LG GPad. Out of the tablets I've had its my favorite and Newegg has it for around $230 :good:
Wow OK after looking that up it looks exactly like what after!
A couple of concerns.. Just from reading the new egg reviews people complain of over heating, the brightness messing with image quality and battery life being terrible.
Are these fixed with just flashing CM11? I've know LG software to be terrible usually so I'd point fingers there before the hardware.
Still open for suggestions! But that's amazing spec wise for the price. Wonder if Best Buy will price match it lol

I've had no issues aside from the low battery life. The brightness isn't the greatest but its still perfectly acceptable once you get it above 40.
I've tried a lot of the different roms and actually for me the best is the flashable stock kitkat that's available on the forums. All the others had various issues wifi, gps and general bugs. While the stock isn't the overall fastest its very stable and I still get almost 27000 in antutu.
Best Buy will pricematch Newegg but their running very low on supply.
I bought the GPad and the Samsung 8.4 Pro at the same time and kept the Gpad as the Samsung killed my eyes with the brightness and very small text. I think you would be happy with the Gpad :good:
Edit is your name Nathan?
Yes my name is Nathan. I've had the handle of talk2nate since about '93. Not very cool these days but its mine everywhere lol.
I'll have to see if they have that pad in stock. They offer a 15 day return so maybe I'll try it.

Hey guys,
I'm looking forward to buy this phone. Actually it's on an offer in my country for 430$ (32GB ). Before I was buying S5....
So can u guys telll me about this phone..battery life...development....ROMs....and other things
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
First of all it is better than s5. Rom developement is until now zero because of locked bootloader. After the latest update 5.1.1 battery is very good. The price you found it is ok.
It is a very fast phone in general and the design is unique lol.
So any news about the bootloader.....
Like they will release or not??

Its really fast I personally have Sprint (ls996) version and I´m in love with it.
Battery life depends on use but I get 12 - 14 hrs with moderate use.
It charges quickly, thanks to the built in snapdragon Quick Charge.
You should try it yourself!
Rom development is at zero cause of the locked bootloader but I really dont feel the need to change to another rom.
OK thanks...
But is there any hope of unlocking bootloader?
