P3Droid Posts His Own Review

**Rand0m** · 11-13-2011, 10:28 AM

Most of it is information we already know. However, I did take notice to his part on battery life. It makes me a little bit nervous to hear things like, "I will go from 100% at 6AM to 20% by 11AM, on 3G I went from 100% at 6AM to 70% at 11AM and 20% at 4PM". I'm hoping that a new larger battery will be in the release build.

great review

Sounds like ICS is going to be great. However, it doesn't sound like the phone itself is anything to write home about. Shame.

Funny because I got a very different impression. Glass half empty/full thing, I guess.

The only minuses I saw in there for hardware was a cheap feeling battery cover and poor battery life (something all LTE phones seem to share). Other than that it seems like everything was either better than what is already out there or par for the course.

I like the review even though I don't like P3Droid too much. Ice Cream Sandwich looks like it's going to be the bee's knees. I recommend that you don't freak out over how fast his phone's battery drains. I mean, did you see how many apps he had open at one point? My Droid practically fainted at the thought of having that many apps running at once!

Off topic: my Droid's power button broke a couple of days ago.

That makes no sense ICS Is the phone!!! What more do you want in the phone? What is it missing?

I think he is more over talking about the hardware (call quality, speaker, casing, battery, etc.)

ICS looks superb and I can't wait to try it out. Great review!

Battery life seems to be on par with the stock battery in my original Droid Incredible, and it's not even a 4G device.
I'm pretty sure my battery life will be better than what he's getting. He mentioned that he was a power user.
Looking at the number of new messages and emails he received, it's a good chance his phone was constantly receiving messages and notifications.

plus he mentions that his battery is the 1750mAH version, and it has been leaked on here that there will be 1850mAH in the final release which will help

**jpprice** · 11-13-2011, 12:06 PM

Pretty nice review. Man I can't wait for this phone

**Deltaechoe** · 11-13-2011, 12:30 PM

even with heavy use that phone seems to last longer than the Thunderbolt

**JediJesus95** · 11-13-2011, 12:32 PM

Too bad he never mentioned the camera. Unless I missed someting or maybe he'll add some things later.

that isn't saying much lol.

**Stang68** · 11-13-2011, 12:49 PM

Quick question: If you use a facelock/PIN code/whatever can you still slide to the camera app?

The review is not fully done. He said about 80% but wanted to get it out to us. Very nice of him to put it together. Each day I want this phone more and more.

It is nice to finally have a decent review of the phone...something positive for a change!

I doubt we'll see any other battery outside of an extended battery. This phone is already manufactured, boxed, shipped and sitting in Verizon warehouses somewhere. There's no way they wait until a week or 2 or 3 before it's released to manufacture it.

Personally, I have no concerns about the battery. During these test, little to no tweaking is done and the phone is in an always on/always in use state. I read nothing but complaints about the battery for my Bionic, but when I plug it in around mid night, it always has 30% to 50% left. I think it's all about the apps that you download. Some will suck the juice out of any device.

P3 said in his own review it may be 1850mAH and Adrynalyne says starting at post #30 that it's going to be 1850mAH according to his sources:

2100mah battery

He said call quality was good. It's the speaker on a phone not a stereo? It's Samsung they always build light why is that a shock? I don't care how light it is as long as it last! The battery? Umm its a 4g phone, its on par with all the others on 4g. Android is full of haters and it's getting real old. Don't like it get a Razr, or the Bionic. Problem solved.

Damn dude who pissed in your cheerios this morning? He isn't being a hater he just wants a complete phone. But you being ok with mediocre makes everyone else a hater. People like you are the reason things like battery and that have not really improved much.

Yeah boxed and shipped with 1850.

Nobody seems to note that p3's devices are not even retail. They are test units and if they are using 1750maH, they are old test units at that.

lol people like me is why battery haven't improved much? Yeah you right I have not been doing my job as R&D for Android and the other partners, I'll try and do better now that you have brought it to my attention. And this phone is a complete phone! People keep finding things to complain about from day one, the phone is very complete.

Just a question regarding this, Can you name some of the major differences between a test unit and a retail unit that effects battery life? Also can 100 mah make that much of a difference on the retail unit?

Im not trying to have you back up what your saying, Im seriously just curious? Thanks in advance.
