[QUOTE=person11;41310993]What is Facepunch's opinion on the best CPU governor and scheduler? I'm using Lionheart and sio and battery life and performance are good but I could probably do better, since I literally just chose the governor for its awesome name. I feel like I am a fucking knight and my phone is my sword.[/QUOTE] You will save more battery by not spending time tweaking the CPU governor and scheduler Don't worry about them
Haven't seen any burn in yet and I've got an s1, s3 and s4 in my household. Also had an s2 but my sister thought it'd be fun to see if the camera worked under water (just kidding she dropped it in the toilet).
I could never use an AMOLED screen again after using properly calibrated screens. Also I couldn't stand pentile (when I had S3) and burn in.
Even after using tons of other screens, including Apple's retina displays, I could never notice pentile with the naked eye.
If I can read from the screen it's good enough
My S2 had a burn in from the alarm clock, could see some digits on a white background
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;41312982]Even after using tons of other screens, including Apple's retina displays, I could never notice pentile with the naked eye.[/QUOTE] Wow, it's like, REALLY noticeable to myself.
Having an IPS phone, tablet, and monitor, I really don't like AMOLEDs. They just don't compare to my other screens.
[QUOTE=PyroCF;41313087]Wow, it's like, REALLY noticeable to myself.[/QUOTE] Yeah, its immediately noticeable to me on any pentile AMOLED I've ever seen (never seen an S4, so I dunno about it), I also have some ridiculous burn in on my Gnex
I'm about to get S4. Anything I should know before I get my hands on it?
[QUOTE=maqzek;41315194]I'm about to get S4. Anything I should know before I get my hands on it?[/QUOTE] make sure you don't want an htc one thats basically the best advice anyone could give
I thought AMOLED was the best when I had it, but then I realized how much more prominent and important white is than black on screens and webpages. [editline]4th July 2013[/editline] And I will just stick with Lionheart because that fucking NAME
And here I am completely fine with my potato's screen.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;41307009]Eye in the Sky is pretty good for being minimal. In other news, I got [I]another[/I] case for my phone and this time I actually like it. The UAG Scout: [URL]http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/collections/galaxy-note-ii/products/black-note-ii-case[/URL] [IMG]http://puu.sh/3uD27/c9515cbf5e.jpg[/IMG] I feel like I could chuck my phone down the road and it'd be fine. Solid ass case.[/QUOTE] Does it grab your pockets? I had a Ballistic case for my Nexus S that would be difficult to pull out of my pocket because of the rubber bumpers.
[QUOTE=PredGD;41311388][IMG]http://puu.sh/3uQEl.jpg[/IMG] That is one hour on screen time. I would have left it until it ran dry, but I needed it this morning so I had to charge from there. I estimate that with one hour on screen time, I can get around 2 days of battery life which isn't pretty good (how in gods name did I manage to write bad instead of good) I guess? I usually use it a lot more though.[/QUOTE] So many notifications...
[QUOTE=benjgvps;41318491]Does it grab your pockets? I had a Ballistic case for my Nexus S that would be difficult to pull out of my pocket because of the rubber bumpers.[/QUOTE] Nah, the rubber stuff is all on the inside. The entire outside is a hard plastic.
Is it just me or even though I turn off gps in the settings, the gps notification is sometimes still there and my battery just gets detroyed. like wtf
[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;41310016]Get a ZeroLemon battery for your S3, I have one and it's fucking amazing it's cheap and ships super fast internationally 40 euros for getting one to France, battery life skyrocketed, i can get around 8 hours of on screen time over 3/4 days[/QUOTE] Yeah, I'm already looking at that one, you've mentioned it like ten times. I just have to fit it into my incredibly tight budget.

The location services icon looks similar; it uses WiFi to locate you.

Literally.
Yes I'm 100 percent sure it's the gps icon
[QUOTE=mobrockers;41319661]They make your phone look like a brick though. Literally.[/QUOTE] I love bricks. My S3 feels like a wafer that's going to just crumble at any moment.
[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;41319805]I love bricks. My S3 feels like a wafer that's going to just crumble at any moment.[/QUOTE] If my phone doesn't feel like it could kill a small animal then I'm doing something wrong.
[QUOTE=mobrockers;41319661]They make your phone look like a brick though. Literally.[/QUOTE] It only becomes twice as thick, which is a good tradeoff IMO It's a big bonus for the S3 though, because the phone can actually STAND ON ITS SIDE WITHOUT SLIDING OFF OF THINGS!
Everyone is getting newly released phones and I'm just sitting here with my trusty ol' Wildfire S. Oh how I wish for a cheap phone with huge screen and not so shitty specs but not so great specs.
Fake Speck candyshell from Ebay for the galaxy S3 master race This is the nicest case I've ever used on my phone

[QUOTE=benjgvps;41320411]Get a used phone that's a year or two old.[/QUOTE] If only they didn't cost like 100PLN less than new one.
Just gone back to the stock launcher and a stock wallpaper. You never really appreciate the beauty of the stock interface until you revert back to it after a while of not using it.
So I might have to switch to PowerAmp. I've been using Winamp for a while, and I paid for pro version and the lyrics add-on. But it's been skipping and stopping randomly. I see that PowerAmp also has replay gain, lyrics, and album art downloading. Edit: Winamp also has a habit of skipping two songs forward or back
I'm kind of new to android. How the fuck do you Deodex the S4 AT&T model UCUAMDB
