People should stop using Whatsapp and start moving over to LINE!!

Yes Whatsapp is a battery killer, makes your phone hot, since I uninstalled it my phone only felt barely warm under continuos internet browsing.

What it did is hijacked the music app and trick the phone to keep sending some small data in seconds interval (streaming) to keep the wifi on so people will get the message fast. This is to cater mainly for people that don't have data plan to fall back on after the lock screen cut off the wifi connection (mainly wp7 users now since wp8 portico can keep wifi on, but why use whatsapp if you don't have data plan on phone -.-" ) Even if you tab back to close it, it is not off and continue to run, if you press the volume button, the music player button will appear and if you press play it will bring you to whatsapp.

Skype still in Beta, people reported with battery draining issue too, but there are also people stating that after reinstall it is ok.

Some battery apps will also cause battery drain because of the continuous polling.

A question here:

Had anyone tried using the liquid screen protector? You wipe the liquid onto the phone and after it dried, suppose to protect the screen from scratches and fingerprints.

Just some info for people that have not gotten their hands on Lumia 920 yet:

1) Seems like shops are taking the SKMM voucher for Lumia 920 now.

2) Maybank2U website, the Superbuy deals are selling Lumia 920 for 1799.

I finally bite the bullet and go apply this liquid screen protector on my Lumia, and never regret a bit ever since. This is the only screen protector that can do your Lumia justice!

Oil, fingerprint don't stick easily on the screen (note: not easily =/= never ) but can wipe off very easily, give the screen a very smooth feel. Read some comment that it can also smooth out some minor scratches.

I got from a shop for RM45 and apply it before I went to sleep. They advertised that it will last a year but I wont trust them LOL, may be reapply after 6-8 months.

I doubt it is a staged interview. He is not only a big business mogul, he is also a yacht professional that sailed across the world. He was hard pressed to dig the info out of Elop. May be Mr Elop just got used to how to handle the Lumia and treated the iPhone as such but oops

If you did follow some news closely, the battery drain issue is not really a hardware problem but mostly due to some apps, one of them is Whatsapp, not trying to bash the Whatsapp but because it is one of the most widespread apps and so it gives a false sense like it is a hardware problem. But still, it wont be always draining the battery, you can feel the phone is getting hot if it does, a restart will fix it, if you really want to use Whatsapp.

Join the Lumia family, we are writing history here now.

Microsoft is giving away Surface Prop for your Xbox Avatar, go grab it!!



Surface Prop for your Avatar

I am using the Digi Smartplan Prepaid. Every RM30 top up gives you 60minute call, 60sms, ??MMS (forgot), and 600MB internet. If you top up again those unused items will be stacked up till to the maximum limit. Considering most place I go have WiFi connections, I don't even used up half of it.

Google strikes again... Do no evil?

Email from phone turns to a coding mess!
