Hi all, I have a query about the performance of chrome when run in bandwidth saving nice on 2G / EDGE. When I first shifted to chrome on my Moto G I thought of running it on 2G instead of 3G. Right away I noticed a significant hike in speed and page rendering when compared to a comparable a...

Hi all, This is about power consumption and speed of the WiFi tethering. Does it make a difference if I keep the phone (KitKat) at a distance from my laptop (MacBook Pro) that is tethered to use its 3G network? What distance between the two will start significantly effecting the...

Hi all, This is about activating the internet on the phone and toggling between 3G/2G. To my surprise I recently came to the realisation that there is no "one-click" way of switching the internet on/off on all stock Android OS's (I am running KitKat and it's still the same as earlier...

Hi all, I was looking around in the call logs section and realised there is no counter to show the total talk time on the phone. This seems really strange as this is more like a default feature on almost all phones, not least a smartphone! I tried looking around on googleplay and found...

Hi all, With KitKat I'm told that the signal strength indicator in the notification bar will be orange when the signal is weak, and white when strong. My phone came with 4.3 and I successfully shifted over to the KitKat upgrade. The phone is otherwise running very well. I've noticed of...

Hi all, I've got the latest updates to the KK Gallery. Now I've been filling that up a little bit (around 20 pix in addition to the default ones) and noticed that when trying to set the wallpaper makes the launcher crash. Its incidence is approx 1 in 3. Now it doesn't effect the phone etc...

Hi all, This one is about the "battery meter" and how one can get it to reset. I recently upgraded to KitKat and the phone/battery are working really well. I have also started to use a 80 % to 40 % charging cycle/day which is supposed to delay battery wear. However, it's irksome to see...

Hi all, This has to do with maximising the long term battery life by charging it the right way. On the one hand, I've heard a lot about taking a phone battery from 100 to nearly 0 % to maximise its life. I have adhered to this method on all my past (non-smartphone) phones and generally...

Hi all, I recently enabled the widgets (on the security settings in KK). After checking them out I decided against enabling the option. While all the widgets were switched off after I disabled widgets from the security settings, strangely the camera shortcut continues to be functipnal on the...

Hi all ! This is my first post, and I am writing because the battery consumption of my brand new Moto G is getting out of hand. It's not even been a week since I got it (shipped with KK 4.3). Initial impressions with the usual basic apps (flashlight, gmail and other updates, notes, an...
