Why is that sometimes the phones screen swithes on for a few seconds (for about 5 sec., (as if you had pressed the home button)) than swithes off (for about 10 sec.) it repeats this a couple of times, than keeps the screen swithed off for minutes. After a while it repeats to swith on consecutively few times.

As I observed it makes this "trick" almost every time after I restart/turn on my phone, but after a while something should happen, and than the screen remains swithed off until you press the home or on/off button. Very rarely it happens also long time after the last restart. During these screen switch on/off sessions the battery graph in the setting indicates the phone is "awake" and the "screen is on", and the battery discharge graph is much steeper on those areas, and the phone discharges faster indeed.

For this reason I don't even dare to restart my phone (which as I know would be reccommended in every few days), because as I observed this problem occures mostly after I restart/turn on my phone.

As I recall somewhere I'we read about this issue, but I can't find anything about it.

This alone makes it a pretty enticing handset, running the latest version of Android - 2.3 Gingerbread, but when you add the 8MP Exmor R camera sensor on the back with LED video light.

I also noticed a really bad battery drain recently... found the culprit, Facebook Inside, specifically the calendar sync.

Since you can't uninstall it, I disabled it in the App management menu.

Regarding SMS... I'm just using the default SMS app and SMS Pop up, but I'm finding it a bit on the slow side. Is Go SMS Pro faster than the default SMS app and SMS Pop-up combined? I kinda wanna keep the ICS Holo look and not go with some iOS look-alike

@jp, had you tried using a custom rom, and using some kernels and scripts to save some battery life?

Hi limemint, no not running a custom rom on my ray, just the official ICS rom. I've had no problems w/ it so far so I'm happy.

I'm happy I found a way to disable a few built in apps as well.

My biggest battery eater is really the fact that I leave my 3G on (as well as wifi and BT) and that I always chat/IM with my phone.

4.1.B.0.587, Android 4.0.4. Seems to work, and I don't see anything that differs from before, other than maybe that the dialing app starts up somewhat faster. Anyone that know where to find some kind of release notes?

Nope,
but:


    * LED notification for missed calls (not for text messages, yet(?))
    * Camera "stabilizer" can now be active when recording video without poor result
    * Dialler faster
    * More options in mobile data consumption control

cons in 4.1.B.0.587 update:
1. LED no work for sms & application like WhatsApp.
2. Wifi always loop after a minutes (5-10 minutes). Very bad connection for me!
3. Still battery drain fast.
