Phone upgrade...
« on: October 07, 2013, 11:59:19 AM »
Upgraded to a new phone this weekend and found out how to save a crap load of cash. Use wlamart. I paid .97 cents for my samsung and got a $40 walmart gift card to boot!!! ATT wanted to bend me over for $100 upgrade fee for the same dang phone... be smart, shop around. //OLDSKOOL//
I've grown tired of this.

I really wish I could upgrade my phone whenever I want! It really pisses me off that I can't just buy a new phone when it comes out. I'm not trying to cancel my service or change anything on my account!!!! //WTF1//

Galaxy SIII. S4 is basically the same phone and they wanted $150 for that. Read reviews and did some homework. Happy as can be.

I'm getting about a day out of my s3 battery.  I charge it every night, sometimes it is at less than 5% when put on the charger.

Battery life compare to my iphone is not good. If I stsy off the net and just use it regulary it is sbout a day. Unplugged this morning at 7:30 and it's at 46%. Apps can be turned off and have an app to help battery life. So it will take some getting used to. It's more computer than phone.

Pretty much sums it up. I can kill the phone by 3pm or as of right now at 8:50 pm its at 40%. I barely run it without power save mode on

My IT guy set mine up so not sure what it sites to scar power but I don't notice it.   Dimming the screen makes a HUGE difference.

I go 2 full days.

Lol I can drain my battery in a matter of hours.

Dimming the screen does help, taking it off the auto mode especially. I try to stay on wifi if I can, sometimes people use a dollar general internet provider and I have to go to 3G though.

If I'm at work from 8-5 and stay busy all day I can leave work with 90%. Every time I think about my phone it drops 5%.
