It didn't work. I suggested installing a programe to kill the running programs. By the way, she turns off the essential apps frequently.

I guess that it has something to do with China Telecom. The 3G communication consumes too much battery energy even you don't use it frequently.

Nokia, Samsung and other cellphone makers just entrust some Chinese companies to make batteries and other accessories for them. The quality might differ. Bob, who made the battery for your SII?

Now I see why so many Chinese people prefer to buy smuggled mobile phones. Liu is another friend of mine. He bought a smuggled HTC smartphone on the internet. I asked why he didn't buy one in China. He said that the quality of the smuggled mobile phone is much better because the EU and other developped countries have high requirements than China.

He is correct.

Smartphone war: Google's Android in 52 per cent of smartphones sold in Q3: Gartner
November 16, 2011 - 9:14AM

Since January, Google's Android has worn the crown as the most widely used smartphone operating system worldwide.

But in the third quarter of the year (July through September), Android ran on an estimated 52.5 per cent of all smartphones sold, "more than doubling its market share from the third quarter of 2010", according to a new study from the Gartner research firm.

There are dozens of Android smartphones from dozens of manufactures on just about every carrier and at every price point imaginable, it seems. And the growth of Android, so far, has no major obstacle in its way.
"Android benefited from more mass-market offerings, a weaker competitive environment and the lack of exciting new products on alternative operating systems such as Windows Phone 7 and RIM," said Roberta Cozza, Gartner's principal research analyst, in a statement. "Apple's iOS market share suffered from delayed purchases as consumers waited for the new iPhone. Continued pressure is impacting RIM's performance, and its smartphone share reached its lowest point so far in the US market, where it dropped to 10 per cent."

The third quarter marks the first time Android has taken more than 50 per cent of the smartphone market, Gartner said. In the second quarter of the year, Android accounted for 43.4 per cent of all smartphones sold, up from 17.2 per cent a year earlier, the firm said in an earlier study.

Research In Motion's BlackBerry smartphones lost market share in the third quarter to Android as well, dropping to 11 per cent from a 15.4 per cent slice in 2010, Gartner said. Actual sales, however, remained steady between the two quarters, with about 12.7 million BlackBerry phones sold in Q3 2011 and 12.5 million sold in Q3 2010, the study said.
