to some people, Facebook is bloatware. because you can use Friendly that's much lighter.

also a bit annoyed that HTC's default keyboard is TouchPal. for such a stock UI, I'd expect the keyboard to be GBoard or Swift key

to me it is cause i find it a battery sucker so i have not used the app for very long. i would do fb on net browser instead.

u11 battery life not bad with more than 6 hours screen on time. :)
Initially was afraid the dual SIM setup would suck up more battery juice.

That is honestly an excellent battery life, Mike_Lim! But how's the screen on time like when you're mainly on mobile data instead of WiFi?

My phone is configured for auto connection to Wireless@SGx and Singtel Wifi, so mobile data usage is fairly low. Still think the dual SIM setup drains the battery a fair bit as the SIM cards are from both red and green team. Probably disable Wifi for a day to try. ;)

Looks like you are always in the area with wifi, which makes sense to utilise them, but this just proves that SOT is meaningless, since the stats will look very different if using 4G most of the time instead of wifi. This will also be affected by the reception in the area. There are also other variables involved which are not directly visible from the stats, e.g., background sync, etc.

Yes, there are other variables but this is still an improvement over my htc 10 where I never get more than 5 hours SOT. Not forgetting this is a dual SIM setup.
If wireless is available, why not use it? Wireless@SGx points are now very common, faster, and connecting to them is seamless.

I seems to have the same issue where the brightness of the screen will be dimmed then brighten . My auto brightness is off too.
