Like what most of the iPhone users have faced, the battery woes didn’t get fixed on iOS5.0.1. It is common to have iPhone being charged at least once a day.
At some point, I’m considering to get a battery case, instead of trying to squeeze little more power juice out of my iPhone by disabling 90% of the push notifications. I also give up that thoughts of getting some unknown China brand battery case, after aware of the China built quality.
Thanks to Amazon, here the Top 6 battery casings that worth to get.
Among most the of the battery case, this is the thinnest and the lightest one. It weights only 2 ounces and with only 9.6mm thickness. It is almost 5 – 8mm thinner than most of the battery case in the market.
What others say about it:
The Incipio Offgrid caught my eye because of how thin it is… for $45 I think its a steal… retail at $70. This case is just wonderful, battery charges my phone from 10% to about 75% which is great for only $45. It has a sleek design which i like. I bought this for my verizon iPhone 4, the edges are very close by the ringer switch but it does not interfere at all. headphone jack is recessed a lot ,but doesn’t bother me, my bose headphone fit the jack, and i bought a thin 3.5 M-M audio cable from scoshe, which does not fit btw, so i ordered an adapter. This case is great over all, definitely recommend!!
Users who use Andriod phones know that the latest Android code named “Ice-cream Sandwich” (ICS). Now Kindle Fire users are able to install this latest piece of Android OS. Thanks to guys over at XDA forum release this alpha ICS ROM.
Before you start the process, you must aware that there are some risks and you are voiding your Kindle Fire warranty too.
Place both the ICS ROM and Google Apps add-on the root of your SD Card.
Power off your device and boot it in recovery mode. This is done by waiting the yellow triangle to appear during boot up, then press and hold the power button until the TWRP2.0 begins to load.
Make a backup first in the recovery mode. Just in case.
Go to the Home Screen and choose “Install”
Select ICS ROM to be “flash” as it appears on the right panel of the recovery window.
Select Google Apps add-on to “flash”.
Reboot your Kindle Fire and Ice-cream Sandwich should be working on it.
Previously I didn’t find there is any electrostatic issue on my old Macbook white, especially since it is plastic casing, won’t conduct any static electric. However, on the Macbook Pro aluminum unibody, it is not the case. It becomes very obvious “weird” feel when I rest my wrists on it.
After some investigation, I notice the direct plug connector to the Apple MagSafe adapter is plastic, this means that it is not grounded at all! But lucky the extended cord connector at least is grounded. So now onwards, I will be using the extended cord.
Not all Macbook Pro Unibody users will experience this, unless you 1.)using the direct plug 2.)using at countries with 220V power supply.
This is the direct plug I mentioned. It doesn’t connect to the adapter ground pin. Apple should recall this back.
Amazon recently announced their top selling games sales of 2011. Amazon has been doing well in selling both physical and digital distributed games. Often the games sold on Amazon are much cheaper than those on game stores.
I find it the result of physical and digital games are quite different. I guess it is possible because Amazon has been giving promotion on games like Civilization V for digital downloads. Besides that, not all physical games go for the digital distribution channel.
Setting up network might be a tough job for some of us. I was having a bad time with my home Starhub network recently. After a long hour of trial-and-errors, I then realized it was the connection sequence of router and modem gave me the issue, it got nothing to do with my router settings!
I start with the router setting first, just in case some are having the wrong settings in the first place.
Connection Type: Dynamic DHCP <- you want your ISP to assign IP to you, Starhub don’t provide static IP to home users
IP Address: 192.168.0.1 <- this is the router IP in your local area network (LAN)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 <- If your LAN have less than 255 device, use this value should be more than enough
Gateway: 0.0.0.0 <- leave it blank since we earlier already choose it to be assigned by Starhub ISP
