Don't think they put their Evo nand or their ssd controller to give such a fast write speed to phone. Read speed from phone should be respectable like you have tested.

2) press 'MENU' (the lighted up button on the left space of the home button)
3) go to 'Settings'
4) go to 'Notifications'
5) change to whatever you want including the LED notification lights

i direct dump mp3 into relevant ringtones/notification/alarm folders. then choose it from the "sound" from setting.

 

[gerald27]

u all using what app to change ring tone?

1) Connect your phone to a computer via USB

2) Create the following directory tree of your SD card:

sdcard
> media
>> alarms
>> audio
>> notifications
>> ringtones

3) Put the media files in the particular directory (i.e., if you want it as a ringtone, put it in the "ringtones" directory, if you want it for an alarm, put it in the "alarms" sirectory, etc...)

These sounds will now be available as choices in the particular settings screens on the phone

 

[erskinemich]

Mine is black

 

[gerald27]

Mine is black

okay ... so it's not just a batch or color thing i guess ... i'm not sure what caused it

My friend exchanged the set but still the same accordingly to her

Some possibilities:

1. A rogue app wakelocking your phone. Some live wallpapers can do this too. I once installed a beautiful sakura live wallpaper that killed my S3's battery in record time because it was constantly sending data out for some reason. Uninstalled asap.
2. Poor network connection causing battery drain while trying to find a stable connection.
3. If you're connected to a wifi network, something else on the network might be constantly pinging your phone, wakelocking it.
4. "Location services -> Use wireless networks" option is on. This thing is known to wakelock your phone, and gets worse if you have more apps that keep asking for your phone's location. I've seen it keep my old S3 awake for 2.5 hours before.

Unfortunately, to recognize which problem it is, the easiest way is to install BetterBatteryStats (which is not free iirc) and post the logs up here (or at XDA), then we can advise you on the app(s) causing the battery drain.

My own N3 went from full charge to about 65% after about 10 hours with moderate s pen usage (s pen usage increases battery consumption) and it's constantly paired with the Galaxy Gear.
