Re: Suggest a New Android Phone Around 15k

@Vijay,
Yeah I checked with them too and they said it can't be upgradable and if you do not like throw it in dust bin or gift it to some body
I could have thrown him who would have said that on my face

My close friend bought a Samsung Galaxy grand and he says it is mind blowing Only problem he says that battery is getting drained pretty fast, then I told him that android applications will run on the back ground always and to find out switch them off. So can you people suggest anything to have good battery life on that mobile

Brought 3 Sammy grand yesterday, it really is a superb handset been telling you,20400/- it costed and its a dual sim dual standby handset,both gsm,its pretty big in size,5".Display is what i didnt liked for such high screen,else is a superb handset to compete with MMA116.

I would prefer a MMA 116 but A110 is also equally good. The screen looks pretty crisp. the touch is also pretty good (if u compare with Galaxy note 2 or Iphone then it is no match) but at Sub 10K A110 is a deal.

If you are for MMA 116 and Samsung Galaxy Grand, then I guess you might have a look at,
Samsung Galaxy Grand vs Micromax A116 Canvas HD

Talking about the battery life.
Battery use can be optimized based on our requirements. But one needs to learn little bit about the technology and understand what goes behinds the scenes.

I am a Samsung Galaxy S2 user, I have 3 email accounts, emails, tasks, calendars always synced up. I am with 3G network. At home and office have wifi. When out of range 3G enabled automatically. Daily I attend to about 20 to 30 emails.

I have facebook, google plus, google currents, dropbox, sugar sync all set to sync in manual mode. Mostly I configure these applications to sync only on Wi-Fi connectivity.

I use a app called Juice Defender (Ultimate), this app manages most of the switching on and off for me. My accounts get synced at interval of 15 minutes during peak hours(9 to 5) and then goes to 30 min sync. The whole data connectivity is disabled from 11PM to 7 AM.

I have rooted my phone that way I disable most of the unwanted applications such as Samsung Apps and Music/Video Hub etc which I don't use.

I do only emergency browsing only(or I am bored and want to kill time)

At the end my battery stays alive for 1 1/2 days. I charge again around 30% battery.

So battery is never been issue, there are lot of utilities available which will tell you which application keeping your phone 'awake' where it is supposed to 'sleep'(when screen is off). If you understand and agree I think you will never have a battery issue

That was really informative, so as I told you my friend who bought Samsung Grand yesterday, we need to do the same thing like you on his mobile, so please PM me with what exactly needs to be loaded on that how to shut up the unnecessary stuff

+100,exactly as i thought to pen down as my usage is,with wifi at home and factory.
But would suggest you for better battery life keep it on charge when it goes on lower level and not around 30% and charge it fully,this makes battery have a longer life run.

Thanks RK, first I advice anyone who buys new phone to get used to it. Understand the good and bad things about it. Rooting the phone is kind of risky stuff as it immediately voids your warrantee on the phone. I feel you should first use the phone for about 6 months then only think about the root(unless you are very well understand the risks and ready to take it). First you have to indentify your use and only configure those apps. For eg you dont need Youtube updating itself to the subscribed channels, you can watch Youtube when you are infront of the computer! There are lot of location aware applications available free. Which can turn off/on data connection based on your location(with out using gps). Will send you info on PM

Totally agree with you Vijay, full cycle charging is always recommend for battery conditioning. Basically if i am about to go to bed if its 30% i put it on charge, and later once charged i remove it, I try to change it fully than drain it full Because for me next days usage is not sure I don't know if I get chance to charge or not. So I said 30%, I try to go as low as possible, some times I hand it over to my daughter to play games, just to drain my battery and she does the best to take it to single digits

it's better to charge the battery as soon as it reaches 50%. i read detailed article about the same.

and batteries have limited 0-100 battery cycles. if you charge it when it reaches below or around 10% you are damaging the battery. the overall life will get reduced.

also , Don't put your cell phone and keys in the same pocket. Steel keys affect a phone's battery performance.

allhyundaicars, thanks for your feedback, but I am surprised about what you said, I am a long time member on xdadevelopers.com one of the best mobile forum exist online, as per my reading so far it always said its better to go as low as possible.
If its possible please share the document.
Regarding the keys and phone, never i put it not for that reason(not aware till now) but to prevent any scratches on the screens . My right pocket is exclusive for my mobile.

Re: Suggest a New Android Phone Around 15k

Really, Android phones are made to keep you updated. What's it without the apps running on background and not getting the updates? Most of them are not aware of this, you download a task killer app, and the RAM is wasted. But most of them thinks that they need free RAM to make the phone run flawlessly, but that's wrong.


P.S: I read that article somewhere(I guess it some Android site other than XDA).

So, if you use the phone for just calling and other general functions, WP is the perfect bet for all these.

Re: Suggest a New Android Phone Around 15k

+1000 to edios, it works same way in PC as well. You can easily utilize whole RAM , but not utilizing the part of RAM is just waste of the resources available.

I am with you. I am against the task killers. Applications needs to be running in the background if not os will try to start it and that is expensive with regard to battery and processing. But one needs to initiate applications that needs to be running based on his requirement.

sure. i will try to find it. and will post the link here asap. and yeah i agree , it serves "saving the screen" purpose too

edit: couldn't find that particular link but we both are partially correct

we should completely drain battery once a month or say after 30 full charges.
Avoid completely discharging lithium-ion batteries


2. as i said before , charge the battery as soon as it reaches around 50%
Allow partial discharges and avoid full ones

shows that discharges to 50% are better for your battery's long-term life than,

i totally agree with you that's why i too suggested him WP , android is for advanced userwho wants to interfere with the internal things

but sure it will take some time for an android person to switch to windows. ( not being able to do all the androidy things)

Re: Suggest a New Android Phone Around 15k

Rooting the phone does not void the warranty now.

I mean it is not that complicated procedure.

There are numerous blogs now available to any available android device which provides the exact procedure to root and unroot the device.

If there is any hardware failure,then the unrooting can be done for warranty purposes.
