Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
All I did was play Angry Birds for like five minutes in the morning and wave around a lightsaber for ten seconds
P-C, check to see if you're still running Angry Birds. Go through the Settings panel and click on Applications and then Running Services. Or click on Phone Info and then Battery and it'll tell you what apps are using up your power.
I ended up just turning my phone off because what the hell. I've checked the Battery Use, and it's 70% Display, with apps only 1%. When I turned it back on, it did show Angry Birds in there, but I couldn't Force Stop it, so I thought it was just a report that it had been using battery power. Facebook was in there, and I tried to Force Stop it, although I'm not sure it worked. I don't have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS on, either. I don't have Vibrate on all the time. I always check the Task Manager to make sure there aren't any apps running. I'm already doing most of the things that are supposed to conserve battery life.
I'm really confused because sometimes I can just watch the battery go down 1% every couple minutes when I'm not even doing anything, and other times, I don't touch it for hours, and it only goes down a tiny bit, which is what I would expect. And it gets really warm.
70% Display? Is weird. Does the sleep mode work?
Can someone pop over to my webpage, eringriggs.com and send me note via my new contact form as a test?
It's on the Contact page, and also at the bottom of the Services & Rates page?
Thanks!
Somehow I'm not seeing the link to the Contact page, Erin.
70% Display? Is weird. Does the sleep mode work?
Sleep mode? You mean, does it turn off the display after a minute or so? Yeah, it does, and I have to press a button to turn it back on (and then swipe the screen to unlock the phone).
Ah...there.
It should be visible now, Ginger.
I've sent you two things through the contact form, Erin.
Ginger, got it, and backflung.
Thank you!
OK our old CRT tv has finally crapped out. It was a 19 inch and that is about as large as will fit in that space. Maybe we could fit up to a 22 inch.
OK now as far as I can see most of the cheapie LCDs are widescreen. Won't that elongated design mean that either the bottom of the standard signal gets cut off, or that we end up with blank screen to the right and left of the image? Do I need a maximum aspect ratio? Most of the cheapies have an aspect ratio of 16:1.
