i lost 4% from bedtime at 11pm until now 7am very impressed

That's very good.

Can you confirm what someone else above said that heavy screen time usage is only 4 hours?

I can confirm that it's there or there abouts... bit more perhaps but doubt it'd reach 5. Standby time is very good, certainly.

indeed 4 hours

After tmobile have made their gaff i've decided this is just too expensive anywhere, absolute cheapest I found was o2 on 18 months contract and its not anywhere near as good as my current one.

I may go look at the razr, when the guy brought out the nexus s I was gutted

I dumped Listen a couple of months ago and now use Podkicker. It's a lot better and free. Only downside is it doesn't sync with Google Reader

Thanks for the heads up I'll have a look into it

 

[Tweaker]

Anyone heard about their vouchers?

 

[shaffaaf27]

beyond pod is amazing. Try the trail, its superb.

Just been on to o2 retentions. Think i got an ok deal to stay. Bought phone outright for £390 and switched to sim only deal £11pm which gives me 300 mins, unlimited texts and 500mb data. Also won't have to pay the last £35 bill for remaining month as tariff is switched over immediately.

Thats a really good deal

Still waiting for CPW to get stock as I want a T-Mobile upgrade. Website says by the end of the week though

 

[IvanDobskey]

Thats a really good deal

Was a bit surprised when he offered the phone with that much discount I have to say. Made him triple check it was the galaxy nexus and not the nexus S or something. Fingers crossed this fix arrives soon or it will be going back!

Similar to the iPhone 4 on standby then, which is rather splendid news.

I think the wireless policy really needs an update, its good that it is on most of the time to save you data, but i think you should be able to setup a night time policy, you should also be able to set a data policy so that feeds update at 7am for example, with wireless coming on at 6:55. I found that with wireless on, you lose nearly 10% battery over night, with it off, around 4% as discovered previously.

Hopefully you'll get the right phone!

To be fair the volume issue isn't as bad as people are making out. I've had mine a week now (on giffgaff so using the O2 network) and i've only seen it happen a couple of times. Certainly not worth sending the phone back for.

Yeah it was louder after using AudioManager, seems to stay loud after un-installing too?

Which app would you say is better AudioManager or Volume+?

 

[Chiz]

Google Talk's video calls work perfect. I tried this with a friend who has a Nexus and it was surprisingly smooth and clear through wifi. 3G.. mehh, not so good!

Theres tons of apps on the market that do that sort of thing...

This is good to hear Like most things they get blown out of proportion. The guy on retentions reckoned that o2 have never stocked the nexus S so fingers crossed.

Volume+ makes it louder than Audio Manager.

Audio Manager is more stable than Volume+.

Take your pick.

Yeah same here. I've only had it twice since I got the phone on Saturday and that was only very briefly. I can provoke it manually by trying to load a web page on 2G, but I've never actually needed to do that.
