My iPhone has the clock in the middle. Never noticed It was different on android devices.

GSMArena have posted up their full Optimus G battery tests. Interestingly they comment how the Web browsing time (5hrs 15mins) was almost the same as the Galaxy S 3 on ICS, although moving to JB gave the S3 an extra hour. Good signs for Nexus 4 which will be on 4.2 without any sort of skinning/custom browser.
Roll on Monday.

yeah I posted a bunch of quotes a bit back from different reviews on battery life for the optimus G, they seem very positive. No longer a concern for me. Now...we wait.

Nope, i'm fine with battery now. My only concerns now are price and storage.
This is what I was referring to when I mentioned people complaining about the testing methodology:
http://blog.gsmarena.com/lg-optimus...-despite-power-saving-core-and-large-battery/ (comments):
"we all know that the screen consumes most of the battery,
and the term "50%" is very arbitrary, says it's ~200nits for HTC One X, ~350nits for LG or ~175nits for Samsung (all are rough number) and also sometimes even the phone says 50% but indeed it's 30%, so it's kinda unfair ...
I suggest a fairer method, since you (gsmarena) already had the brightness meter (I assume), you guys just set the phone to the same brightness, say 250nits, then do the all test again, then produce the same chart with the statement that these are conducted with 250nits brightness ...
Hopefully, this helps"
-------------------------------------------
"The LG has 80% higher brightness at 50% brightness than the one X so how on earth is this a valid comparison? Your own tests show the one X at 50% brightness is 200nits bright whereas the LG is 369nits bright. GSMArena your battery tests lose all credibility when you let such loopholes unaddressed. Your battery test methodology if officially invalid I never quite paid attention how gravely flawed it is and I am surprised you guys decided to be lazy and ignored this fatal flaw.
It's all good and fine when phones are "similarly bright" at 50% brightness but that is not the case at all here."
If the brightness really makes up for the difference in battery life by a substantial amount, that's even better for me

that's pretty interesting. So the main point here is that they made the battery seem worse than it is, if I'm reading it right?
Yes, but never mind...
Apparently the 4X can just get very bright according the the test measurements: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_g-review-835p3.php
So maybe if you used the Optimus G/Nexus 4 at a lower brightness it would not make such a drastic difference as I thought it would
Still, if they are much brighter devices than the Galaxy Nexus, I don't think I'd want mine set that high anyways. Additionally, they were running ICS on the Optimus G and they said that when they tested the Galaxy S III on Jellybean, their web browsing score increased by almost an hour

I forgot to check for the brightness levels, the crappy max brightness level of the GN is one thing I've never been happy with. For comparison's sake (brightness measured in cd/m2:
Galaxy Nexus
50% - 112
100% 247
Optimus G
50% - 197
100% - 417
One X
50% - 200
100% - 550
S3
50% - 174
100% - 330
iphone 5
50% - 200
100% - 640
My default level of brightness for the GN is 30%, so its going to be even lower again for the Optimus G. Huzzah!

I've got a Sony Xperia T and am liking it a lot, but I don't really understand how Android manages SD cards. I have a 32 GB card inserted into it, but it seems to put everything onto the phone memory itself. Is there any way to automatically install every new app directly on the SD card without having to move them manually?

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
No one knows how the crappy SD cards work. That's why I want them gone.
Yep. Some apps can enable it, others can't. Touchwiz camera will save it in SD then another app like Aviary will only save to internal if you edit photos with it. Instagram's camera will save to the internal memory even if you have it set differently in Touchwiz's camera so you end up with two "camera" folders in gallery.
I've gone from trying to have most things on my microSD to just storing music and videos on it.
Yeah, that's why I mainly want an SD card slot on phones. About 70% of my phoen storage right now is music and it's really hard managing what should be in the phone and not.

Glad I use my ipod for my music. Storage be a non issue.
I am glad the world is not run by you.
And if the world is run by me, I want every phone with 2 mandatory SD slots. Like the Nokia n800.

20 GB of the 28 GB available user storage on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus is music. Yeah, I am really looking forward to the microSD slot on my Verizon Galaxy Note II.

Guys, help me out bad here. I have the Nova Launcher on my S3 and I cannot for the life of me to get the wallpaper to scroll when I swipe through home screens. The photo I have is wide enough for the three screens and the crop cuts it out.

I would prefer no carrier branding, but I am glad they didnt just increase the bezel size solely to give the carriers a spot to place their logos.

yeah, but can anyone name them? and they're probably based on AOKP anyway...

So confused. If I use a photo I have and set to wallpaper, it doesn't scroll. I download a different one off Zedge and it works.

Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 to see Jelly Bean from October 25?
Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 owners might want to take a look at this one. Android Central Forums member Skunkape60 shared this image with us all a little earlier today that, if genuine, indicates the Android 4.1 update to the Galaxy S3 will start pushing out from October 25.

What I do for the 720p phones like the Nexus, One X, and GS3 is
1)download wallbase app
2) set it to the highest resolution they have
3) chose a picture where most of the info is centered
4) set as wallpaper
It'll crop the image, but it only cuts out the sides. Top to bottom everything is there so you just have to find an image where stuff is centered.
So, I want to buy myself Xperia T. I read some reviews, and they state, that this Xperia has some kind of screen protector which is already applied to the screen. I'm not a fan of those things, I just like to have a screen without of any protectors.
So, my question is: Can I safely remove that screen protector? I tried to search on google, but I only saw Xperia Arc threads, where some people wrote, that after taking off that fabric screen protector, their screens started to act crazy. Are they trolling or is it really the case?

Don't remove it. Sony places these on their phones, they're barely noticeable. At the least can you play with one before you buy it?
Yeah, I think I'll check it at t-mobile store.
I have a Sony NEX camera. They put a very hard screen protector on it. These shit are terrible. They develop bubbles after a year. I had to remove it in force and apply an aftermarket screen protector.

I'm thinking putting a small sticker over it should suffice. I need the same durable sticker material they use on those license plate stickers, but I'm not sure where to buy something like that.

That is fugly. It's bad enough they put their big ugly logo on all their phones, but to put it on the button because there is no room on the bezel? That's taking it it to another level. You are gonna hear people call it the Verizon button instead of the home button. lol.
But curious enough, I have a co-worker who was able to get a Verizon Droid Razr from Costco without the Verizon Logo. Not sure how that happened.

I wonder if they announce 4.2 if it's going to be called Jelly Bean or Key Lime Pie as well as how fast the new itteration will be pushed to current Nexus devices like the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 7. You'd think the Nexus 7 should be all clear since none of them currently are carrier tied as well as the non Verizon Galaxy Nexus.

You can put one of these on it.
What is that? Looks like a jewel or some purple gunk. What I would do is see if I can find a replacement button and swap it out. Freakin Verizon.

If someone started selling replacement buttons, I would totally buy one.

Any LG Spectrum owners out there that have updated to ICS yet? I just bought one on ebay to replace my RAZR MAXX that was stolen at Friday night, heard that ICS has finally been released for the phone but not to everyone. I would really like to get the RAZR HD MAXX, but I'm not really trying to start up a new line just to get one right now...
