Based on the battery

Taking mine off the charger this morning without using it yet it's at 87° F. The hottest I have seen, while watching over an hour of YouTube videos, was 104ish° F. It usually hovers around 85-95°, sometimes 100° with normal use so far. This is based on looking at my temp logs with gsam.

The video quality is awesome on this phone. Thanks for sharing!

I heard a very faint crackling noise on one phone call but none of my other ones. I couldn't tell if it was just poor reception or the phone, but so far the rest of my calls have been great.

My G3's screen does not turn on when I get a text message. I do miss that from my S3 but understand the hit on battery life it could take to turn on the screen over and over. The notification light on the G3 is so much smaller and slower that I think I may miss it if I have my sound off.

Nope, I disabled it (as much as you can without rooting). I'm not really sure what the deal is, haha, but I guess as long as it isn't actually using data it's fine. I am just not used to seeing it and always revert back to assuming I'm using it instead of wifi, as it was on my old phone.

Thanks for the reply. My 4G is white all the time but the arrows beneath it are grey and turn white while I'm sending a text, etc. The wifi signal is also white. My 4G is never greying out totally....

Is the whole icon dark or just the arrows beneath it? This is new to me as well and it is confusing when I'm used to only seeing 4G when I'm using my data.

I'm 5'2 and have pretty small hands. I was worried about this as well but it actually is strangely comfortable and easy to use! The shape of the back was well thought out and the thinness helps as well.

Took a few point and shoot shots this morning. Definitely better outside in the sunlight but overall an improvement from my previous phone. I really wish I could make it look less smoothed over in lower light/indoor shots. None of these are edited.

I'm using nexus torch as well. It's great.

How high? I'm not really sure what I should be comparing it to as I never paid much attention to this with my S3. Trying to monitor on my G3 now. It seems to high to me as well (Android OS almost 5 hours for keep awake).

Would love to see pics of the metal slate color once you get it! xPNUTx, the mint looks great!

Kingb1186 - What case are you using? That color is nice!

It looks awesome!! Thanks so much for all the detailed photos. How does it feel in your hand? Do you feel a big difference in size between the phone alone and the phone plus case? Me too! Can't wait to see the mint... I'm so close to buying it!
