Dear Casio;
Why did you waste our time with the "unplug power supply" notification?
Every time I charge I get a little green globe pop up on the notification bar that does not go away until I select it. It reminds me to unplug the power supply to save energy. How many people are really going to do this?
The expected life of the individaul phone is likely 2 years....the length of most of our contracts. The average user will charge the phone overnight, and many will charge more than once per night since the phone is overloaded with power-hungry bloat....resulting in poor battery life.
This means that over the life of the phone I am expected to perform an unplug action, or a plug action, plus a check-notification action........ a minumum of 1095 total actions over the course of two years.
Question: Is anyone out there really unplugging and replugging the power supply every time they charge? Unless they have an outlet installed next to the charger it is highly unlikley that more than a few users will go to the effort. I have never unplugged a charger unless it was for a device that is seldom charged.....less than once every two weeks.
The wear and tear on chargers and electrical outlets will only add expense to the users. If you want to save power, I would suggest a redesign of chargers to reduce "idle" power consumption.......and effort. I would pay more for the charger.....and come out ahead because of the reduced energy cost as well as reduced effort.
Please remove this "feature" on the next update.
To other users: Please post or "thank" this post if you agree.....not to thank me, but to show Casio how many people agree this is a worthless feature. It is a waste of time, in my opinion.
