Dont get butterfly or s3. get lg optimus g. Ultimate phone in 2 weeks time.
The optimus g only got 720p screen right? In that case might as well get a nexus 4
Just got my htc on friday, looks beautiful! everything is great about the phone! except for the battery. it drains damn fast. can barely last me a day of minor usage. just occasional web browsing, facebook, twitter, some photos taken, and whatsapp.
Might it be the fact that i charged it for 8 hours on the first charge? Been doing this for all the new phones i use.
season it then see how usualy new phone need to season the battery
plus butterfly is on a FULL HD display is understandable is a battery sucker
Today is the first time I brought my Butterfly overseas.
Realized that it couldn't connect onto Thailand's AIS 3G or HSDPA network,
Only managed to connect on Edge....
Anyone has the same issue?
Do we need to set special settings?
Didn't have the problem before on my S3
season it meaning fully charging and discharging it for a few days?
HTC Butterfly is out in singapore oredi????

Got my Butterfly for a week.
Battery Life.
Alot longer than I expected from a 2020mAh. Screen doesn't seem to use up alot of battery.
Screen set to Auto Brightness.
Vibration mode.
GPS on.
I have sync on.
-Email, Gmail
-Facebook notification
-Whatsapp notification
-Twitter notification
Timings are cumulative estimates over the day.
3G, constant moving around(base-stations to base-stations I presume)
Facebook ~45mins.
Twitter checking on-off every hour.
Graphic intensive + connected-3G game ~30-45mins.
Whatsapp ~20-30mins.
Time unplugged: 11.30am -100%
Time now: 1.10am(next day) - 26%
Roughly 14hrs reduction of 80%. I would say its awesome for a 5inch, 2020mAh phone.
Audio Quality.
One word, Wow. Coming from a handphone. Audio quality is quite good. I'm surrounded by Samsung note2, s3 and iphone5 everyday. So I would naturally compare the HTC butterfly with them. I would say its lives up to its name of having the beats brand(albeit marketing gimmick) on it.
Phone speaker(the one you place your ears against) is VERY clear. Its loud even at 60% level. I was blown away when I first used the phone.
Hope this helps those who is comtemplating to get HTC Butterfly. try the Optimus G, its a no-joke phone too.
