GPS shouldn't really matter unless he's got an app that's constantly trying to geolocate?
What software version is the phone on?
Well, I took my phone off charge at 6am this morning, and it's now at 94% with light usage (1 quick call, a few texts) so that's 1.2% drain per hour. Seems to be getting better as time goes on with the new KE7. I'll have to see how it goes
To be fair, you can't ask for much more than that
I have to agree tbh done a few tests videos and they all look the same blown up but the sound makes a difference for sure.

Just had the phone lock up after using the Camera app. Had to pull the battery out to reset it as the keys wouldn't work. Anyone else had this issue?
Yeah, ideal to have 48KHz audio but stock bitrates for video.

KE7. Considering going back to KE2 to see how it goes, or wipe the phone and stay on KE7, and see how it goes without making any changes to the basic software.
Worth a suggestion to the modder methinks.
Its already done he has different versions to use, if you just want the audio fix download his first file or if you want the sound and higher bit rate get the one in second post as well as the HyperX version that has more choice of higher bit rates.
Edit my bad thought there was a 48KHz one out.

Well I charged my phone this morning and now at 3.50 I have 9% left 
but I did hammer the GPS for like 4 hours. But should the GPS usage show up on the batter status page? As it hasn't on mine.
I have also turned off the hubs etc so not sure whats drained it so much. Also I keep seeing when I go into Advanced Task Manager that the BBC Iplayer app keeps appearing even after I stop it, anyone know why?

tbh i've noticed the battery on this thing to be quite random, some days i get around 8 hours, others i've had 27 hours! Today looks like I might get around 20 or so... fully charged at 8.30 this morning, at 5pm, it's now on 60%

I turn data on and off via holding the power button in for a second - might do the same thing, just a little quicker.
Yes
Not the same thing im afraid what that does is turn of the "packet data" which will turn off your mobile internet but will stop you from sending and recieving MMS.
MMS is not the same as sms be advisedIs it worth waiting a short while (i'm in no rush) for a later revision of the SG2 so that the initial bugs/glitches etc what some of the handsets have are wheened out?
Also I see there's a revised version with NFC coming. No idea what use that is to anyone really and might just be something else to drain the battery.

What bugs? everything that's an issue can be software resolved (or has been via the devs).
The NFC model is not as thin as the current model either! Plus., why would NFC drain the battery? It's not constantly running in the background.
