Google+ on Android Battery Drain

Lately,  the battery of my Samsung Galaxy S2 is draining like there’s no tomorrow. Strange to think that I’m on WiFi most of the time. The brief time that I’m not on WiFi is only when I’m travelling to the office and back home. So it isn’t right.

Jelly Bean for Galaxy S2 Leaked

The butter smooth Android for Samsung Galaxy S2 leaked over the weekend. Obviously,  it is not the official ROM coming from the carriers. I had a peek of it courtesy of an officemate who loaded it onto his SGS2.

Hairline Scratch on my Samsung Galaxy S2

After more than a year of using my current SGS2,  it’s GorillaGlass finally showed a scratch. It’s been on ‘commando mode’  (no screen protector) since last year. It went into my pocket numerous time with my keys but it never had a scratch. That’s until I put it in a paperbag which I forgot also contains my set of keys and some other stuffs. Upon checking, there’s the scratch.

Samsung Galaxy S2 Jelly Bean Update

I’ve first heared about the Jelly Bean update for Samsung Galaxy S2 in August.  Back then,  rumors say the release is imminent. A month after,  a report in CNET was published intimating that the update would come in as little as two weeks or early October. Guess what,  October is ending amd no Jelly Bean update on sight.

Android Insufficient Storage Installation

Lately,  I have been encountering the “Insufficient Storage”  or “Unable to install in default location”  problems on my Samsung Galaxy S2. I still have 800MB free space so it cant’t be possible that a facebook app update will not fit on it.

Galaxy Note II Singapore Deals

So, Samsung Galaxy Note II finally arrived here in Singapore and surprisingly, people lined up in M1 and StarHub shops yesterday to get one reminiscing the usual queue for the fruit company’s products. But is it worth it? It’s a whole different category with a humongous 5.5in of screen size. If you ask me, I’d say yes! The new iteration of Samsung’s Galaxy Phablet is as solid as it can get. Helped by Android’s buttery smooth Jelly Bean build, it is surprisingly responsive and the noticeable lag I saw in the first version is now gone.

iPhone 4 on iOS6 WiFi Problem [SOLVED]

I upgraded my wife’s iPhone4 to iOS6 and was terribly disappointed to find out that the WiFi is not working. I actually waited two days before I upgraded the phone to iOS6 because I heard about several issues. Apple made an announcement that it was actually a problem on their side when a page which safari tries to connect went down. It was rectified and supposedly,  everything is fine.
