Poor Battery Life On Android Devices?

-
I have been hearing a number of complaints that the battery drain on Android phones is very high, that juice runs out much faster than an iPhone. However, there is something that can be done to address the issue with no money being spent.

Run the phone till it is left with minimal battery, maybe 1-2%, indicated and recharge it back to 100%. Do this two or three times and the battery life of the Android device magically increases.

This is something to do with the internal battery calibration. Applies for new phones, OS upgrades from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), etc.

Verified to help on my Samsung Galaxy S2 upgraded to ICS as well as a number of other Android mobile phone.

www.sold.sg, www.gleebid.com, www.simplybids.com.sg, www.crazybid.sg, www.sharkybids.com, etc are some "auction" sites that sprouted recently. At first glance, these auction sites appear to be offering tremendous deals to interested buyers through huge discounts. However, the caveat that when a deal sounds too good to be true be careful holds. To understand how www.sold.sg, www.gleebid.com, www.simplybids.com.sg, www.crazybid.sg, www.sharkybids.com and such works, it is important to understand the mechanics of their operations. I will use sold.sg as an example. Let us take one item that was recently sold on www.sold.sg to illustrate the financial calculations for a good deal purchased. The Canon IXUS 300 was sold at $52.35, a staggering 83% to the retail price of $599. Does this mean sold.sg made a big loss? From where was sold.sg able to source for such cheap products? It is important to note that bidding on items is not free. Each bid requires 1 token which is sold t

WHO Announces End of COVID19 Pandemic

Promising COVID19 vaccines! Lower numbers of new infections! COVID19 is now under control! COVID19 cure found! Headlines that we will love to see but reality is far less rosy.  COVID19 is a virus.  A strain of coronavirus not unlike past virus such as SARS in 2003, MERS in 2012. Years have passed and no vaccine, no cure has been found for SARS or MERS. The same is likely to happen for COVID19. The optimistic put hopes on the huge efforts to find a working vaccine but what if  the end state is that the virus is here to stay? The virus is selective. Many infected are just asymptomatic or with mild symptoms, carriers whom go on to keep the spread alive. These are usually the young/healthy ones with no underlying issues. The ones whom really suffer are the older/weaker. At the end, perhaps we need to come to terms that it will remain as commonplace as influenza. People will die if they do not take care of their health. Life expectancies will be lowered as weakened elderly fail to overcome

Singapore Presidential Election 2017

-
Will this election be a reserved one for the "Malay" community? While Dr Tan Cheng Bock's initial case for an "open" election has been dismissed, it is still up for appeal. Should the reserved election proceed, the likely Presidential candidates for 2017 so far are: Mr Salleh Marican (CEO, Second Chance Properties) Mr Farid Khan Kaim Khan (Chairman, Bourbon Offshore Asia Pacific) Mdm Halimah Yacob (Speaker of Parliament) Mr Salleh Marican He is of Indian heritage and lacks fluency in the Malay language. Additionally, calculations by The Straits Times puts Second Chance’s average shareholder equity over the past three years between $254.3 million and $263.25 million, missing the eligibility criteria of at least $500 million in shareholders’ equity, on average, for the most recent three financial years. Mr Farid Khan Kaim Khan The question will likely hinge on whether he is "Malay" enough to contest in the Reserved Presidential Elections
