Wifi. It is controlled by the radio, not the app.

Weird stuff

Will ants eat the inside of your smartphone?

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Will-ants-e...rtphone_id43955

Traveling to the southern United States from South America, Rasberry crazy ants are forcing out the population of native ants, but more importantly, they are destroying electronic gadgets including smartphones. Measuring less than 1/8th of an inch, these little guys like to eat electrical components and their size allows them to slip right into a handset or a tablet.

Currently spotted in at least 21 Texas counties and 20 Florida counties, these pests are immune to pesticides and love to travel. In Texas last year, they were responsible for $146.5 million in damages to electronic devices. And besides being hard to kill, when they do get electrocuted inside a device, they release pheromones which attract more ants to the device. And when those ants are electrocuted, more pheromones are released and you can figure out the cycle.

So if your handset or tablet stop working all of a sudden, it might not be something faulty done by the manufacturer. It just might be the result of the Rasberry crazy ant looking to feed off the inside of your electronic devices.

They should be released in those places in Africa and China that are electronics waste dumps...maybe that would be good for those places.

"detailed bill" I think it's called. You can call 123 and tell them you want it, or login to maxis.com.my to add this as a "Value Added Service" which will cost RM5, but you can select "e-bill" which will waive RM5, so nett is zero charge for this.

Looks like hit and miss from the reviews. Sharpening and increased gamma applied?

I wonder will it take the newer GPUs to run it? Note 3 free app from Samsung Apps perhaps?

The free packaged apps are the value add from Samsung for the 2k+ price you pay, coz stuff like MC 3 and a few others do cost some $$$.



BTW the S4 thread is in a flurry from the new fat updates.

I wonder what's taking the supposed testing of the new TW such a long time. Either the code is not well maintained or it's a marketing decision to hold back.

I think so, it's the OS running.

I recall some places they don't charge you, or maybe RM10 to swap. A MEP may charge, but the Maxis centers owned by Maxis shouldn't.

EDIT, yes, like what afzal_m said, choose e-bill delivery and you get RM5 waiver.

Anyway it's a PDF sitting in your gmail or email box, so why worry.

Showing as SALE at $0.99.

Your 2.99 cuppa is a Starbucks is it

How much is a standard Latte in SG ?


Why freeze? Use Greenify to hibernate it until you use it. Freeze means you can't use it.

What is this Watchdog app that keeps alerting you?

His watchdog is not your watchdog apparently I was also thinking the 3G Watchdog. I recall the 3G Watchdog was not very accurate back in GB days.

Why is it waking up? Are you playing a lot of movies?

Anyway, one of the better SOTs I've ever gotten despite the use of MyPhoneExplorer in Wifi mode for 14hrs

Note: I was also charging from powerbank which only showed 800 or 900 mAh despite being rated at 1.5A. This is the Yoobao transformer like 13k set. It's letting me perform about 2.5 full charges. Either I got a low quality unit or power conversion is bad.

So ((Xa))0102 you may be on to something here, per your last post about charging between 0.7A and 1.2A

Probably you could clear the default and switch everything to MXPLayer.

Settings>Apps>VideoPlayer>Clear Cache and Data?

BTW, from G+ SGN2 post:

Two of my friends have accidentally dropped their Note 2's on the floor, the screen is gone off (not broken, but there is no more display) and they have to pay approximately 500 TL. (= $265) in Turkey for the repair :-OOO...

Oh ok I changed to allow Public shares now.

A page refresh should show the pics.

It's Battery Monitor Widget Pro. There's also the non pro version w ads.

I will try again w powerbank coz I have packed away the 1A s3 charger somewhere pain to dig it out.

4+ is poor, but considering I had a 14 hr constant wakelock and 47mins of calls, I think that's pretty good.

When I'm out without wifi, I get around 3.5 - 4hrs, maybe 4.5 sometimes, with constant watching of wakelocks. This one shows a flat consumption graph, so the drop is really low despite the wakelock.

Post 8 under Wakelocks, but usually it involves tracking down the offending app, and Greenify-ing or Freezing it, or avoiding circumstances that cause it.

Master nehalem176 any further advice?


Good ones, I probably still have some app that I haven't greenified or frozen. Probably the monitoring apps themselves are the culprit.

To know and be constrained, or to be ignorant and unleashed .... sigh

Those are the phone usage wakelocks, which you can't do anything about unless you switch off your phone ahhahha.

I recall for Note 1 the L2_hsic became a really bad problem but nobody knew how to deal with it at the time. I suppose Samsung improved it for Note 2 and nobody's complaining about this anymore.

What about using 3rd party FB apps?

EDIT: posted above text before seeing your screenshot.



Looks like mine before I greenified everything the other day. Now the Awake is 20% of the Since Unplugged time. Before this it was like yours, about 50% of the Since Unplugged time.

I believe AppGratis was a bad offender coz I had very high CPU usage for long hours since installing.

Anyway I don't have FB, Twitter, Line or Wechat. Viber is greenified, and Whatsapp is well behaved now. For whatever reason, I can;t get more than approx 4.5hrs SOT from day 1 coz I don't obsess myself with killing wakelocks, but obsess myself with monitoring usage
