i have been receiving 3 sms'es daily from "Reuters" for the past 2 days...each with a news topic...has anyone else been receiving them??

i'm on singtel btw...

When I was at the Singtel shop to get my XS, the staff mentioned that I would have to call the customer hotline after 15 days, but within a month, to request for a cancellation of all these SMS services. Call earlier than 15 days, no effect as the SMS would continue coming (end result is that ur request is not processed at all!) Call after a month, may be too late as the fees would kick in liao, at 2 bucks a month as mentioned by potNPan.

They know there are peeps who would forgot and they would be charged for it. Just like their other "free" VAS after the promo period, they charge you for it.

Agree! Such charges are always hidden in the fine print, which most customers can't be bothered with when they get excited over that new handset! XD

Helpful staff would just flag out these items to the customer and exclude as much as they can on the spot, the rest would leave to customer to cancel after the minimum period of time lapses.



That aside, agree with maumu too. Red LED on black XS would be really chio!

I think a lot of XS owners kena poisoned by ur photos liao

when u dismantle the phone, did u remove any of those 'do not remove' sticker and thereby voided the warranty?

Cost plus markup. Plus admin fee . Sure a lot of hwzoners wouldn't mind I would like a green one myself

This is what i hate abt XS:

1) Flimsy usb protector.
2) Poor Viewing angle.
3) Headphone jack too close to power button.

I find the poor battery life a turn off. It's even worse than my iPhone 4S and that pesky USB port protector! What was Sony thinking ?! Otherwise a pretty fine phone.

you serious? worse than iphone4s?!

The reason for the protector is to make the whole phone more sleek, so as to merge with the whole overall design.

As for battery life, yes, it's a bit of turning off, considering my previous IP4s last a bit longer. This is what i discover btw my IP4s and this XS, for IP4s, when you never use, it won't drop much or at all. But once you start using, that's when the battery draining appear. For the XS, i notice they drop power even during idle, but it's more constance thru out.

Smartphones nowadays are battery hunger eaters. No choice, we have to live with it.

Agree. when to sleep with data off wifi off, gps off. Drop from 82 to 45

Looks like a OS issue...

perhaps ur phone is not going into "deep sleep"

download cpu spy to verify that.

also use better battery stats to see what is keeping your phone "awake" during idle.

overnight for the past 2 days ive only had like 1% per hr drainage on idle.

during the day my usage is whatsapp, browser, fb, games, some video, youtube.

i unplug @8am and lasts me all the way till 10pm.

btw im rooted on the .67 firmware. i uninstalled a lot of the SE bloatware
