Samsung Epic Battery

Are you like all adroid phone owner who have batteries that seem to always need recharging. Does it seem like your battery never last the day. Well here are some little things that you can do to help you phone battery last longer:

1. Turn off Wifi, Bluetooth, and GPS if you are not currently using them. Just turn them on when you are using them and turn them off when you are done. These features suck alot of power.

2. Reduce the brightness of the display of your phone. Also set it so that your power is in power saving mode and reduce the time period when your phone shut off due to non activity.

3. Download the Advance Task Killer apps and kill all the apps that are running on your phone that you are not using. I check this app a few times a day and kill those energy consuming apps. Believe it or not the apps run even when we are not using them cause they check for updates, information, or data to run properly.

4. Uninstall apps that you don’t use.

Expensive Iphone Rates On Verizon

Verizon release their rates for the soon to be available Iphones on the Verizon network today. The basic voice plan including 450 minutes per month will start at $40.00. A voice and text plan including unlimited text minutes will start at $60.00. A separate data plan for getting emails and internet browsing will cost an extra $30 a month. Now that seems pricey to me. I rather stick with my current plan with the Blackberry than pay those expenses for the right to play some games on the phone.

I wonder how that compares to the Iphone cost on the AT&T network.

Is 4g really faster?

admin — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 03:51:14 +0000

Sprint is the first provider to provide 4G telephone. According to Sprint, the 4 g phones are supposed to be able to download data 10 times faster than 3g phones, at around the speed of 10 Mbps (megabits per second), with average downloads of three to six Mbps.

Verizon is due to un-roll its 4 g service in the fourth quarter of this year.

A closer look at the numbers, however, reveals that 4G speeds may vary. Sprint says that 4G can be 10 times faster than 3G. But read the fine print in Sprint’s promotional material: Sprint bases this claim on speed comparison between 3G’s low-end 600 kilobits per second (Kbps) vs. 4G’s max 6Mbps. Sprint notes that 3G can reach 1.7 Mbps, while 4G may drop down to 3 Mbps. So that’s less than twice as fast. We will know more specifics about Verizon’s network in the weeks ahead as it rolls out its service.

According to Google, over 1 million calls were placed from Gmail in just 24 hours of its launch. For comparison, there are somewhat more than 300 million people in the United States. If the average person makes 10 calls per day–research in 2008 put the number at 208 calls per month–that means about one out of every 3,000 calls in the U.S. went through the service on its first day.

The service lets Gmail users make free calls to U.S. and Canada and inexpensive calls to phones in other countries. It uses Gmail as an interface and optionally can integrate with Google Voice to receive calls as well.

That is pretty amazing and just shows how many using or have gmail.
