hmm good point! Most likely why then.
How good is the auto brightness? i.e. does it go right to zero when in a pitch black room and ramp up enough to see it easily in the sunshine but not go to full whack.

Actually I have been checking this during the day and it seems pretty good, earlier on when I popped out to the shop it went up to about 60%, indoors during the day it was about 30% and right now in a dimly lit room it is at about 5% or even a little less.
I think there is some kind of sleep bug with Google now, try this for me and see how you go. Go into Google now (swipe up from bottom of the screen) and completely turn it off. Then go into 'Backup & restore' in the settings and untick "Backup my data".
See if this helps, it helped mine massively.
Definitely no buzzing on my iPhone 4, and have never heard any.
And I'm even holding it the way Steve Jobs taught me!
It's not a bug G Now is designed to wake the phone up at set intervals to check what's going on, it's why it spanks the battery.
thumbs up!
What's the refund policy at the o2 store? 7 or 14 days?
Can you return the top-up credit too?
Auto brightness sounds great
I find the GS 3 too be far too dim and the htc one series to be way too bright
SGS3 has adjustable auto brightness now with JB

7 days, sold the 2 x £10 tops ups for £13 to someone on another forum,
While this is true I had far less battery drain under JellyBean with my SII which is why I think it is waking up the phone far more often then it used too.
I must be getting old. But I much prefer off screen buttons. Without a menu button it just feels wrong and the sound is inferior to the S3 One X imho with current software. As for the 2 gig of ram helping matters, can't say it "feels" any more zippier than my S3 on wanamlite. Great phone for the money no question but I'm gonna struggle with 16 gig. It's poo and there needs to be a 32 gig option or sd for it to be a winner. Screens lovely but amoled blacks and vibrance it has not. Touch screen is A1 responsive and camera's appear to function well if not stella. I'll keep on testing.
I really like the build and feel of the nexus 4.
I have the PadFone 2 here as well which is an interesting comparison as they both have the same processor and ram.
I'm afraid to say that the colours look washed out compared to the padfone add well and that is also LCD. However the extra wideness of those extra 68 pixels meadows a huge difference to the sharpness and amount of information you can get on the display.
The build of the nexus is superior to the PadFone but the overall performance doesn't match the Asus phone.
That PadFone will be even more amazing story Jellybean specially on the tablet dock as right now its rocking old style ICS with the old android tablet style.
Despite sayng that I prefer the nexus for browsing on a phone so far.

As I posted yesterday, despite not receiving a shipping email and my order status (and still today) saying 'delivery estimate 15th' my phone arrived yesterday morning. I've just checked my bank account and it appears as if, like some of those that received the back order email, my money's been refunded.
At least Google's incompetence worked out ok for somebody
Just seen my account & also the same has happened for me!
Let's start the day and see where battery will take me 
Doesn't look good at the moment as after 13mins off charger and 12 mins screen time, battery is at 96% Lol
It is after its first charge so it may be poor today..
Will see
As for static and android os eating battery, it will be fixed soon if it is a software bug.
