I have a CyanogenMod-enabled phone and haven't installed Google's apps on it. I got some open-source stuff and that's it. It's a two-year old Galaxy S (first gen) and battery now lasts for 8 days.
- amenod 13y agoSeriously? With "normal" amount of calls? I would love to hear more... Battery life is my biggest gripe with the smartphones.
- yareally 13y agoNot having (or using) LTE helps quite a bit, since it's still fairly new technology with a lot of optimization still needed. Also the fact the Galaxy S has a 4" screen. Galaxy S lives on most of all from being nearly identical to the Nexus S, so it can borrow a lot from it.
- bad_user 13y agoI don't know what's normal to you. It's a backup phone, using a PrePay plan on another network (prepays are pretty cheap in my country) and indeed I'm making less calls with it than with my primary. I'm also keeping it off the data-network, unless I need to connect. So basically I use it as a dumb phone and it's a pretty good dumb phone.
