So, I was looking at my phones battery life now using that app, it’s at 69% and it says it can use the internet for 3:00hrs via mobile internet (IE, 3G) and for 5 hours using WiFi. But I don’t feel it accounts for what you use. Take yourself for example, you use YouTube, Tapatalk and general browsing. Now, YouTube, in my experience, has always drained the battery far quicker, especially when coupled with 3G or WiFi (the latter not being an issue for you.) You should charge your phone to full power, see what the app estimates your battery life at whilst using the internet, and then see if it remains true. IE, if it says you can use mobile browsing for 5 hours, try and use it intensively for 5 hours.
“Also the screen display times out after a minute or so, if that’s what u mean?”
That’s exactly what I mean.
In your play store app, click on settings (I believe you have a button which would bring up a host of options, such as ‘My Apps’ and 'Settings, etc.) and then go to general. Have a look at ‘Auto-update apps’, is it ticked? To try and conserve your battery power you could uncheck it, but that would mean you’d have to manually updater your apps yourself.
Can someone tell me how there’s a difference between these?
“For example, a single line Value plan with unlimited talk and text combined with unlimited nationwide 4G data will cost $69.99 or a single line Classic plan with unlimited talk, unlimited text and unlimited nationwide 4G data will cost $89.99.”
With the value plans, you do not get a discount on phones, so the price of the plans per month are lower. When I first switched to T-Mobile, I had an unlocked Google Nexus One, so it was best for me to get the value plan. With the classic plans, you get discounts on phones, but the price of the plans per month are higher to make up for it.
LOL what a rip off. If all of the classic vs. value plans have a difference of $20 a month that’s $480 over the course of 2 years. I don’t think they even give you that much of a subsidy on any phone.
Mobile Flash is useless for me. I have no need for it on my Galaxy Nexus since most of the websites I go to either have a HTML5 or mobile version of their site.
The value plans are a better value for people who want to use their own unlocked phones. Even with the classic plans being $20 more than the value plans, I cannot find a better value for unlimited everything with 4G and no data caps from any other carrier. The classic plans are their “regular price” plans, so I do not see it as a rip-off at all. They’re just giving an additional option to save even more on the plans per month.
Really, it’s stopped working completely? I find streaming websites to be non existent, but who needs YouTube, when you have the app. How does HTML5 work? And is it on the Galaxy S2?
Mobile Flash is a bust. It was failure from the start. It isn’t secure and not stable enough to run properly on mobile touchscreen devices. Adobe had years to make it better but didn’t do anything to “fix” it. Most of the sites I got o have either converted to HTML5 or a mobile version.
So while I keep waiting for the supposed third quarter release of ICS for my Atrix 2, suddenly enamored by all these newer phones with HD screens. God I hate technology.
The new Sony Xperia phones look delicious. Drooling over the 12mp cameras that they have…
In short, custom ROMs that are released nightly. Some nightly release may have an update or two, some may not have any update, and are generated by a bot just to stay with the “nightly” premise.
I still can’t find a D2G custom that fully supports GSM/EDGE.
On the subject of network compatibiliy, is there any reason why my Verizon branded D2G (with a valid ESN no less) would not even connect to any CDMA networks while I was in the states? I continually got (Searching for Service) while I was at home, and nothing I did, such as manually activating it, and factory reset (which lost several of my Chinese friends’ numbers) fixed it. I called Verizon and they were befuddled. I wound up just activating my mom’s old Straight Talk phone while I was there.
