My First Android?

[Jaymin]

But Galaxy S2 has good battery life as compared to others in that league of phones.

@ Samm.....

Yeah thats right, but i can still use it on the weekends. And i can use it to watch movies in wider screen while travelling. I have to travel a lot. Out of 3-3.5 hrs of daily travel, i spend 1.5 hrs in a cosy car. In fact, i can xplore its features around in that time.

----------

Even further, i can use Tapatalk to stay connected with this forum from my workplace. In a 9 hour period, i dont think anybody works continuously for 9 hours. If it costs u an extra hour, then also, u wud take breaks in between.

Any one Using

Nexus-One and /or Nexus-S (current Nexus-s battery 1500 mAh)
bought a good spare battery?:cool4:

Nexus-S lasts only 5 hours if I constanly use (mostly sitting in the train say starting from 6 pm (leaving Chennai or Hyd) -will not last beyond midnight!) ( I need it till 1.45am)

1.Twitter -Read the rolling tweets of 300 people or so I follow in finance world & open link browser+charts

2.Google Finance APP.(live update from BATS exchange)

3.Yahoo Finance 5 day intra day chart (browser)

4.Reuters+ Bloomberg APP for news and data(delayed)

5.My broker trading APP with live charts etc.(for changing and making fresh trades)

In between train stations -no use wasting battery by keeping the screen on. 10 minutes before +sation halt+10 min after station-signal good and workable.
If Iam sick of watching my loosing portofolio and just listen to music while sleeping - can last whole light even.:Wait:

MY samsung i7500 :Use it to read morning news and listening SKY FM/Online radio while commuting about 45 Minutes,In day it keep polling gmail for mail, which I check say 5 times, Commute 1 Hour Music and reading in evening , COme home and battery is aorund 20-25 %, Heavy Internet use in evening along with music, Exhausted at around 9 PM Have to recharge if I want alarm to sound in morning.Keep in Mind that I use only Edge, If I use 3G its drained WAY FASTER and also I have noticed Jango uses less batterty than SKY or .977 Hitz.so whats your use daily ?

Surely the battery life varies from phone to phone.My Galaxy S gives me one and half day backup. Ofcourse I dont make calls on that, just music, FM, videos (youtube) , lots of Twitter/fb/Gmail. Its close to an year old and gives good battery backup!

I wonder if you can get hands on 1800 mAh In India.let alone 3800... specially for my phone, te battery is hard to find....

 

[ulysses]

Thanks Manu for the link. Looks like available in Hong Kong. Let me look seriously.
I posted here wondering any one in our blog got a spare battery thro Indian ebay sellers.

The problem in Android is -it is a fragmented market (unlike Apple iPhone) with so many manufactures will all kind of shapes and sizes.

so whats your use daily ?
I use 3G mostly and my use is around 100mb daily on average. If I tether to my notebook will go easily 200-350mb.
I dont make or receive calls/sms in Android. (when I call 1800 -I use android!)
Mostly Twitter, Gmail(4 a/c's-popular/family/bank+brokers/Company name) & yahoo mail APP (3 a/c ) My hotmail gets forwarded to gmail.I do have AG Indian Newspapers free.I check occasionally sports news+ eCONonimic Times.

Music some times. I have Winamp+Shoutcast radio. I listen to skyfm (country western/jazz/80's/Mariachi/salsa/merengue )Arabic stations,Classical Beethoven like that.
Even in GPRS sim (airtel) ,you can listen stations that broadcasts in 24/46/64 kbps .After 96/128kbps it will intermittently stop& buffer.
while in front of the computer ,phone is used to check twitter-links+mail only.

Only when steeping out/travel ,it becomes full fledged music,browsing/ trading app. ( notebook is there but this is handy)
I need to work on a spare battery -Also in the look for quality 7" Android tablet.(wifi+ 3G version)

My first Android is Samsung Galaxy Y. Bought it on Saturday for Rs6800 from a local store. I've few questions1. Where does downloaded apps store? Phone/SD card?.2. Why Google Goggles doesn't work in it?.

 

[Sushubh]

by default phone memory. some apps would allow moving to SD. other's wont. google goggles should work on it it is not that high end of an app.
