I'm down to 5%, having taken my phone off charge at 10ish this morning, and having charged it back up to 30% at about 7 this evening... 

(25 Apr 2015, 9:10 pm)Dan wrote Sure is..! I briefly put it on charge at about half 8 (getting no more than 5 - 10% out of it) but took it off so I could text while watching BGT instead of having to have it plugged in.

For more or less the same price you can purchase either a mid to top end Windows-based laptop or a entry-level Macbook. You could also purchase a top-end tablet which would have many of the same mobile features.

Besides, in a couple of years time the spec of the S6 will be standard in most mobile phones at a fraction of the cost. Plus, all the bugs (if any) will be ironed out by then.

(25 Apr 2015, 9:14 pm)mb134 wrote I don't seem to have any issues with my battery through the week, however on weekend mornings I like to play pretty battery intensive games for a little bit until I get up, then play music on YouTube while getting ready, so I've got the battery down to about 70% before I've left the house, which is annoying if I'm out all day, as it'll be gone by tea time if I'm using it constantly (checking scores, and NEB obviously  ) 

(25 Apr 2015, 10:43 pm)Dan wrote Well, stayed up as long as I could... Body clock isn't used to late nights now!

Currently sitting at 4% and I'm estimated another 25 minutes worth of juice. Phone hasn't been on charge (excluding the aforementioned little bit) for 17 hours and 25 minutes - so you can say I squeezed out 17.5hrs today from 100% down to 0%.

Definitely a smaller battery size but Samsung have worked some magic on things somehow drawing less power from the battery.

Any ideas?

This is a lifesaver and might be worth an investment while you make up your mind. It does come in other colours if gold is too glam.

(10 Sep 2015, 9:58 pm)aureolin wrote I've got a bulkier one that charges two USB devices at a time, but my phone battery life really does feel that bad at the moment! I'm pretty much charging it 3x per day at the moment. Thankfully I've got a Lumia 635 through work too, so it's not as if I'm without a phone should it completely die when I'm out and about.

I can do glam though. I may even go for a gold S6

http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/review/android-smartphones/sony-xperia-m4-aqua-hands-on-review-uk-full-3599871/

I don't use my phone for anything 'heavy' as I carry a laptop and a tablet with me. Just phone calls and mobile internet - so I really can't justify spending £500-600 on a phone.

Any thoughts?

(18 Sep 2015, 2:42 pm)aureolin wrote Ended up going for a white Galaxy S6 in the end. I've bought it SIM free, so I might give myself a bit of an option as to what network I go for long term.


Sorry I've just seen this. The M4 Aqua looks decent actually. The only thing I'd suggest if you go for it though, is to get a microSD card for it. It's only got 8GB of storage built in, and the OS will use most of that up.

(18 Sep 2015, 3:04 pm)MurdnunoC wrote I went out and bought one last night (sim free). 

It seems pretty decent. I like the flashlight and it's nice to be back on an Android platform rather than Windows Phone. Don't get me wrong, I liked having a Windows-based operating system, but it's nice to be able to have a large range of apps again.

I've purchased a 64GB card for it, just waiting for it to come in the post along with a new case. 

I'll never be able to master putting on screen protectors though. I've made a complete mess of the one which was supplied with the phone. Still, a couple more are included with the case!

When my phone was updating a few weeks back when the phone was off I got a voicemail. Unfortunately I haven't been able to figure out how to listen to the voicemail and my phone keeps notifying me that I have a voicemail and it is really driving me crazy now. Anyone help?

(13 Oct 2015, 8:33 pm)Jimmi wrote I've phoned my voicemail and it's saying that I have no saved messages when I rang the number but my phone is saying otherwise. No clue what the hell to do!

(13 Oct 2015, 8:43 pm)Adrian wrote Try rebooting your phone, and if it comes back, contact your operator. They may be able to reset the message waiting indicator for you.
