Hi guys got a few questions about new S3

Hellbent

Newbie
Had my S3 just over a week or so now but I'm confused with a few things

1. Why does the S3 loose so much battery life if not on charge overnight? Mine lost around 15-20% charge while not doing anything overnight? My iphone only lost 2-3% at the most?

2. Is there any way to get the phone to ask you to save pictures or videos to a specific album? It seems to just put them anywhere?

3. The blue hue from the AMOLED screen is starting to annoy me as pictures don't look true to life, any apps that can help correct this?

I'm sure I'll remember more stuff later ;)

This is my first Android phone and i am LOVING it, i can honestly say i hate everything Apple, won't be going near an iphone again after my S3 :cool:
 
Just remembered the thing i wanted to asked the most lol

How do i get my phone to save my apps onto my micro sd card?

About N1: There are many options that you need to consider. For example 3 nights in a row I have left it around 00:00 at 100 % battery and in the morning at 07.30 it is usually on 97% or 96%, which means that it is great, considering that this is Not on airplane mode or anything else.
I will give you some of my settings:
Settings:
*Screen mode - Standard
*Auto adjust screen power - on
*Brightness - Manual- 25-30%
*Power saving - CPU power saving on + Turn off haptic feedback
*Location services - Everything off
*Motion - everything On
*Wallpaper - Live or still - make sure it is dark or black - saves battery
*Developers Options: Limit Background processes : Standard limit.

Use advanced task killer program to kill all applications after full charge just before sleep, ensuring that you do not have running applications.

3) I did not fully understand your question N3, but you can test if the colors are correct and for burned pixels with the following stuff:
"Just bring up dialpad. Then key in *#0*#. LCD TEST application will be loaded."

That's all i can help with. Enjoy your phone, the battery life is incredible.
