yup screen and wifi yung culprit kaya medyo magastos sa battery yung phone. nasa 70% ngayon yung level mula full charge. minsan lang ginamit yung screen at wifi tapos walang background application na tumatakbo. hindi ko din ginamit yung gps. salamat ulit sa mga nagreply.

I kinda find the larger screen, better camera, and faster hardware to be too marginal given the huge price difference between, say, a Galaxy Ace and a Galaxy S3.

I'm pretty new to this whole droid ecosystem since I've been a Nokia Symbian user since I was a teenager. Unfortunately my E71 got stolen a few months ago, so I had no choice but to change my phone.

Originally I was gonna get a BB Curve 9220, but for a little less money I was able to get an HTC Chacha. Sure it only runs on Gingerbread (though I tried an ICS rom but didn't quite like it) and has crappy battery life, but at least it's got the QWERTY form factor that I prize most. Comparing it to more expensive droids, what difference is there in functionality? What exactly can't I do in my cheap phone that I can do with an S3 or One X?

U know what really don't make sense at all is they buy an expensive samsung android phone, where most people can afford even a cherry android phone at 2,999 each., thinking that it's an apple equal.

The hardware is just half the investment, the software is what is truly deal breaker here. Why pay a premium over something that can be had with less than 3k. The android is FREE! It doesnt cost anything, coz even a lowly brand cherry can have it installed in their hardware.

Wag mo kase generalized na pag android lahat ng cp pwede. Mali yung gamitin lang ang term na android. May version din yan. Hindi mo pwede install ang latest version sa mga low end units, just like ang ios version,hindi pwede sa low end iphone ang latest release. pag hindi kase alam ang sinasabi wag na magmarunong. Kaya ka lagi inaaway dito eh.:D

Lam ko naman yun eh kung anung dessert pa nakalagay sa iba't ibang phone brands ng android.

But the big picture is it's android vs. windows 8 vs. ios, most have it's core phone operations present in all system versions, so same banana lang, in the most basic sense, the devices will differentiated by os, not the versions.

Android just implies cheap coz it's free, it's installed on china-made tablets, it's installed on some car HU, in fact, it's even given for free ata sa pLDT touchpad/telpad.

So what's really happening with all your investments sa phone, sobrang dami naman android phones sa market, ace, galaxy, note, tapos meron pa LG, HTC. so many brands, so many iterations, if you're gonna sell your android a year from now, chances are 2nd hand buyers wouldn't be familiar with its specific model and capabilities.

para sa akin parang magkalevel lang lahat ng mga operating system. hindi ko rin gets kung bakit bawal magtransfer ng file via bluetooth sa iOS? hindi po ako apple hater...iclaro ko lang po.
