  1. Nexus 4 battery looks to have settled. Even with WiFi off it was still scanning. I found a check box in advanced WiFi settings and disabled it. Looks OK. Bloody android and its too many settings.
  2. Battery life of modern devices is sucky nonetheless. Imho that should become a unique selling point.

    The current stats of standby time etc are just ridiculous and not really informative for smart phones / tablets.
  3. That WiFi thing was definitely sucking the life out of the battery. I'd hate to see great battery life being a unique selling point. It should be there as standard.

    It's consumers addiction to thinness causing the blow battery capacity. Fairly happy with both my devices now though.
  4. Charging phones/tablets once or more a day is brutal. They should be working on improving that, FIRST PREFERENCE in my opinion. Maybe electricity companies are paying them not to do so though

    Will be if lets say Samsung or Apple start selling ok-performing smartphones which can go for a week.
  6. I'm definitely going to buy a wireless charger now that my tablet and phone both support it.
  7. Those are pretty cool !

  8. I read about it and it's damaging battery for the long run because it heats it up during charging much more than regular, wired charging. And it takes longer to charge.

    Anyway, do some research on it and then decide.
  9. I've did enough read ups and the trend is that the cheap chargers do generate heat. I guess the heat is generated by the copper coil heating instead of the battery. I think I'll get one of the Nokia ones maybe. Potential damage in the long run isn't massively concerning as I'm unlikely to keep a phone for over 12 months
  10. I think some are lucky to survive for 12 minutes with you, Gerard.

  12. Ordered a Dodocase for the Nexus 7. Hopefully it's as nice as the pictures suggest. About 30 quid so not cheap.
