  1. Wow, yeah. I just checked mine, and its been off the charger for 14 hours now, with minimal usage today. But I still have 90% of my battery. I'll post shots maybe on Monday, when I've ran Pandora for a majority of my work day. But I've been really impressed with the battery life on this

     

    Took mine off charger today at 11:00, barely used it and I'm already at 80%. Seems I'm discharging faster than my rate of usage.

    Yeah, these things are nice. I also have the 5". I always bring it in to work with me, and I stream Pandora for about 7 hours straight on it, and from the time I take it off the charger, around 6am, and the time I leave work, 4pm. I still have about 50% of my battery left

     

    50% battery remaining after 10 hrs of use is impressive. On day one I didn't feel my battery lasted long with minimal usage. Today was the first time I ran it this long.

     

    I was down to 10% using it for close to 10 hrs. Currently it's charging (seems to take hrs to fully charge the battery) and I'll do the same again later today and see if battery discharge remains the same, improves, or gets worse.

  3. Somehow it's hard for me to wrap my mind around Sprint getting an LTE iPad since they'd rather pimp their mifi to be used instead.

    The Galaxy players are very nice. Come in 5.0,4.0, and a 3.6 variant. The 5.0in one is on sale at bestbuy right now, all with built in 8GB, but have SD slots for expandable memory. My wife and dauther both have the 8GB touches, and they are always having to shift around movies/apps.

     

    I actually just purchased the 5.0 and must say I'm quite surprised by it. I've read reviews that would cause people to never buy it and reviews that make you feel like you have to have one RIGHT now.

     

    Having the Epic 4G Touch I'd often be out of juice long before the day was over. I'm FB'g, Tapatalk'g, listening to music....you name it and I'm doing it from my phone; hence the battery not lasting thru out the day.

     

    I've been on this thing (5.0) since 8 this morning. I think I've put it down for about an hr and just hit 10% battery remaining. My phone would've been dead long ago.

     

    I actually prefer this to my Galaxy 10.1 since I ran into many apps I use not being optimized for Honeycomb. That was a bummer.

  5. For now, I still have the Photon as a backup phone while I have the Note on AT&T. One thing is for certain, the next couple of months are going to be very interesting in terms of new devices coming down the pike for Sprint.

    If/when Sprint gets the Note are you going to get it or stick with the AT&T Note?

  6. The Photon having a kickstand was great since the Evo 3D didn't. Add to that the fact it's an active kickstand and one couldn't ask for anything better. Who'd have thought a kickstand with a brain.

  7. Also had an extended battery for my 6700. I didn't see any great difference between that and the battery I was replacing. Made me feel like I gave my money away.

     

     

     

    ya know i thought the same thing when i first bought extra batteries for my epic... i bout a couple extra batteries but the battery life on FROYO and Gingerbread was so awful i finally bit the bullet and bought that monster, extended batteries have been a way of life i remember my old 6700 a brick of phone in and of itself but you added that extended battery and it became a monster titan and touch pro same thing... hopefully with the dual core and the battery saving aspects of Ice Cream Sandwich and later on Jelly bean, i can actually have a big phone without the big battery... will wait and see.

  8. As long as there's phones and forums I expect to see many of the same names on many of the same sites.

     

    Some just take a little longer to show up while others arrived to the party ahead of time.

     

    Two and Early are no strangers at any of the parties!

     

    Can't let twospirits have all of the fun.

     

    Shout out to all my other buds from AF and XDA.

  9. From the Evo 4G to Evo 3D (tried to like it but couldn't) to Photon and I couldn't have been happier. The Photon is an outstanding phone and since everything out the box was top notch, I didn't feel the immediate need to tinker with it.

     

    I applaud the devs community for everything they were able to accomplish with a phone that didn't have a lot of support.

     

    I'd still have the Photon if my want of a new phone hadn't kicked in. I gave mine away to a family member who was still using their busted Hero so for her, it was truly a step up.

     

    I've had my current phone for about a month but if Sprint gets the Note, this will become my backup phone.

  10. I'm excited for you!! Strongly considered doing the same but I think I'll just wait on Sprint to get it. At least that's the plan for now. :P

     

    ^ That is true. Look at the HTC One X, the Sprint version is so much better, so I wouldn't doubt it.

     

    Well I frankly can't wait, so tomorrow I am going to the AT&T store and check out this hermaphrodite device and decide whether to get it in white or black, Then head back to the office and order it on Amazon (at a cheaper price)..

     

    What I don't know is how the porting of a number works. I have 4 devices on my account and one of them will be given up for this phone, Don't know if porting the number to AT&T would mess up something on the account or any of the other lines.

  11. And apple is trying to get a patent on face unlock, which is only available on Android 4.0 right now. I guess if they get that patent, we know that apple has someone in their pocket.

    Hello. New to the forums. I just want to add I'm

    hoping Google was smart enough to put that patent on lock.

     

    By now everyone should know how famous Apple has become for using others ideas & claiming it as their own.
