We have someone with battery industry experience here right? what are your thoughts on this?
Next-generation lithium cells will double your phone's battery life

archan, did you have battery drain with your old rom or just with slim rom? Had it in jellybean as well. It was Cyanogenmod 10.x ones. However it was only when using 3G. It might be an issue of using Indian 3G frequencies on a radio optimized for a US 4G AT&T frequency? don't know, any folks fr...

Curious about the 8.1 update on winmo. Happy to note that most of my apps are appearing on winmo platform, even those of banks for mobile banking. Hoping for better video playback controls, or a player like VLC, better control on notifications. Whatsapp app devs indicate that winmo limits the access...

Contrary to popular belief, some of them roms are pretty stable. Often a reboot is all that is needed, that too occasionally.

hainji how much you paying hainjee? it its more than my salary, would you have a room in the outhouse?

^^^ saarji - you have too much patience to test various releases of OS on a phone. On this particular phone, it takes all of 5 min to flash a new ROM. This particular one was made mucho easy to fool around with by Sammy. I am waiting for that <30k androidwa with a <5in screen, at least 720p, batter...

Flashed a Kitkat "Slimrom" in my GSII Skyrocket and wowwww.. All my complaints of running out of space are gone. This thing takes up like a THIRD of space. JB would take up 1.5 of my 2GB but this is like 400 megs! Battery drain is the only issue now. Wait for the next big battery small scr...

You're missing the value part. Motos were exceptional value till Xiaomi was launched.

if you can take time off alone WITHOUT kids and wife for photography trips alone, then SLR makes sense. many a time you will need a monopod also to stabilize for low light in dawn/evening when shooting conditions are best. if not, just go with a basic P&S thats all you will have time for. I mus...

If they make a smaller Oneplus, I'd be drooling even more.

So HTC launches a dual sim E8, which is a brother of M8 without the metal body and dual cameras. Good specs with Snapdragon 801, 2GB, SDXC support (I guess). Price is 35k, which is high compared to Mi3 offering. I expect this one to come down to 27k in a few months which might make it worth while.

archan

^ seems you are unfamiliar with cyanogenmod. It started out as a solution to the problem you just described. My skyrocket would have been stuck at Gingerbread for a long time if not for them. Now there are others (like on XDA) that provide builds for different hardware. I would expect cyanogenmod to...

archan

SDXC support and absence of any 4G bands is a downer. Add those and I'll pay extra 3k. Sad its only the Chinese who we have to turn to.

archan

I've been running cyanogen on my skyrocket for a while as well. Going to upgrade to kitkat slim rom soon. My only concern wth OnePlus would be unavailability in India and if i drop it, not sure about any after sales service.

I'd say, different ecosystems. Whether one wants to get in Apple's ecosystem or Google's. Each has pros and cons. I figured I won't get it all in one device: Under 5 inch screen Awesome camera Huge battery Pure or almost pure and fast Android Dual sim Under ₹35K With the 1520 I have the camera so I ...

Show off! Missed the post where you talked about getting this one over the other options. How much did it cost you finally? hehehe... 400 bucks. I couldnt get the LG G2 for 300 :( Decided to stick with the Skyrocket for now, until I find a sub 5inch premium android baby. Lumia I got mainly for read...

The twitter app, for example on windows phone is less feature filled than Android one. I like the iOS app best. Similarly whatsapp looks weird with black or blue background. Very basic looking, like 70s and 80s monitors used to display. Having said that, I wouldn't go on a vacation without my Nokia...

Some shots I captured recently. Some are from my Canon 60D and some from Nokia Lumia 1520 phone.

so basically it is only Seagate, WD and Toshiba left? or Toshiba quit as well?

Was Hitachi also looking to exit that business?

Hearing rumors about Nexus 6 being cancelled, and then not being cancelled..
any perspectives?

archan

AFAIK Dell does not make Hard Disks. Check to see if it was made by Seagate/WD/Hitachi/Samsung/Toshiba. Those are the only 5 I remember offhand.

Regardless of your stance on issues, Rahul Mehta, you are trying to abuse BRF to increase traffic to your facebook page and probably trying to gain followers and members for your party. BRF moderator team does not look favorably at this type of blatant self advertizement. You have 5 links to your fa...
