Didn't work.

Did the conversation to limit streaming to Safari and QuickTime go like this:

Tim: Should we live stream the event?

Jony: Yeah, but let's keep it from as many people as possible.

Tim: QuickTime only?

Jony: Yeaaaah, and only using Safari!

Tim: Muahahahahaha!

Idiots.

Finishing up charging the thunderbolt nexus 7.

I did realize something, upon checking the wakelock detector before the thing shut down, I noticed a bunch of services where running, like tapatalk was on top and others. What this could have been was the service doing its half hour fetch of new topics and stuff, but this really should not take juice.

Now, what this means? If in airplane mode, the programs are still running and trying to check services, well, then, it would eat up battery because they are spending the time to get out when they can't.

I also noted even when on wifi, my cell signal was trashed. Weak cell service was noted in the battery stats. Why this thing is on wifi, it is still using using cell data. Kind of don't make sense, but it kind of does, because the device still needs to handshake with the tower.

My phones happen to use the microcell tower, I am not sure if I can use the nexus 7 on that, I guess I could add the number to the list to see if that works.

Since the device has spent lots of time in my basement with crappy service and the same at work.

But why would my battery get trashed at work in airplane mode? Same thing. Services trying to update.

Either this is a bad battery (I will find out more after some testing). A rampaging API from google's updated software, or something else.

With the new rom / kernel and more testing, perhaps I can narrow things down.

Services will only use power on the CPU if in airplane mode. No connection can be made therefore no signal is leaving the phone, therefore the wifi or 3G adapters won't use any power because to all intents and purposes they are off.

Yup

Okay, google wallet, one of the larger reasons for NFC is not doing so well, and with wifi tricks, including peer to peer, well, just seems like NFC would be pretty useless.

Though I suspect wifi uses more power, but the bandwidth should be better.

Just thinking out loud. :)
 
Sooo, thought I could fix our kitchen faucet since the lady broke off the sprayer. Bought what I thought were the parts needed. It's not happening.
Had to call the landlord to get it fixed. Lord knows when that will happen. :(

Well, just finished watching WWDC:

I thought it was a pretty well put together keynote. Was not awkward like the S4 announcement, was way different vibe then the google i/o

The new MBA's are, well, nothing really special, I thought. Probably not much more then a glorified iPad with keyboard.

Some features for iOS 7 was, available on android for a while now. Wow, animated wall papers? Controls? Multitasking? Still, nice to see apple innovating here... :rolleyes: I do admit, this does make iOS 7 much better looking and a little less walled garden, but still, its apples world.

iRadio. Meh.

iWork cloud, looks interesting, but google docs anyone?
the keychain? Been there, done that, more places doing something like this. Hell, I think mint linux does this.
Apps that auto update? Check, been there.

All in all, looks like more of the same.

iOS playing catch up once again.

Though it seems to be more polished, things seem to mesh together better, thanks to the ecosystem.

The only "innovation" I really seen there was the Mac Pro. Thing looks like a jet engine on its side. A 12core xenon CPU. Sure the heck is pro to me, I will stick with my MBP. Besides, that thing was not aimed at me anyway.

Was iOS 7 enough to nudge me toward it!? With all the trouble I have been having recently with many of my android devices?


My sisters s3? My note 2, my wifi nexus 7, my 3g nexus 7?
Given the fact that I ditched Windows and I have been pretty much windows free for some time now, I do NOT miss it, I miss windows even less now that I can manually tinker with my android devices.

So, I guess I got some thinking to do.

Either way, it is a wash....

Wifi V's NFC?

Two different things for different markets/uses really.
 
Thanks for the laugh, BB. :)
I've been trying to fix the faucet on the sink but realized it's beyond my abilities (and I'm in a rental so I shouldn't be doing this anyway!). Just frustrating is all. But got this last load into the dishwasher, running. Will be a delivery dinner sort of night.
 
Takes ages for my landlord to get things fixed grr. Anythin i can do myself, i end up doin even though its his responsibility :banghead:
 
Trust me, I do what I can, funky! Our landlord, while provides a decent service company, can be sluggish on that stuff. Always prefer to do stuff myself. :)
 
Yeah mine makes it feel like im askin a favour. A couple years ago, the main communal outside door was useless so anyone can get in, i woke up to a big guy kickin my door in lol. Had to confront him the nude :)
A year later he replaced the main door but my own door is still broken! :banghead:
