Android Phone Battery

aliEnRIK

Funny you mention Samsung in general
I have 'disabled' :
Yahoo finance and news (And wonder why they were on there in the 1st place)
Video Hub
Samsung - push service
-apps
-account
-s suggest
Chat on
Flipboard

For some reason, disabling certain google apps makes the battery take a nosedive so had to roll them back to factory versions and leave them to never update (Which made a huge difference)

RIK- I despise with a vengeance anything I've paid for being used by others. PC or smartphone even my landline & letterbox. Did you know there are even ads that are invisible to you that eat your battery and bandwidth but the click they earn inflates viewer numbers. They all depend on the device written by the app writers leaving all the doors open allowing them to prevent your phone from sleeping, modding and deleting memory, tracking you, and that was only a few open doors on my torch app. I went through what you are going through over 18 months ago and decided that other than rooting my phone I was always going to fail to get rid of these leeches sucking the life out of my phone. So I gave my grandkid my new Samsung even though I'd only had it 8 weeks and bought into Cyanogen the other my older S1 I've saved for a rainy day in-case my 1+2 breaks or gets nicked.

My point RIK is you will never control it unless to can get inside and close the doors, that requires a different phone or a very risky rooting job. I just gave away an older but well worth having 1+1 invite a few weeks ago, if I ever get another I'll give you personally a shout here and hand you my 16 digit number - be warned the numbers are valid for exactly 72 hours only. Best of luck.

I didn't say I had released it to the wild .. , How can you study and understand something better than creating it yourself

So if you only created it in order for studying and understanding, why did you refer to yourself as foolish for doing so?

What a strange and argumentative question.

I didn't say that I was foolish for doing so.

I said that I did it in my younger more foolish days . ie days where I did foolish yet unrelated things.

Are you just looking for an argument ?

It might well have already died if you had simply stuck to your promise of five days ago

Look , im out of this silly discussion now .

And no, I wasn't looking for an argument, simply pointing out that what you wrote certainly implied that you thought that you were being foolish by writing viruses.

Do you think, taking the 'spirit and intent' of the original post into account, that you've been a helpful poster?

Yes , I really hope I cleared up the misinformation that you posted about it being a good idea to install AV on a mobile device..

Apart from that, great post :beer:
