OT

Also, may I just go for broke on the "clueless old tosser" scale, I also just love the names these people give their OS, software or whatever these days...

I mean seriously, "I'm updating my Marshmallow" surely can't be said with a straight face? WTF is "Marshmallow" anyway (aside from the obvious :attitude: ), and why is a mere update - for a phone - 400MB? (shit, that's a lot of REM statements in the code :D ). Or alternatively, perhaps I should start perusing a Saga Holidays brochure...

Each major release of Android has an alphabetical codename. It's just a more convenient way to say it than a flat version number, and allows some cutsey marketing, but it's just a version name at the end of the day.

Cupcake
Donut
Eclair
Froyo
Gingerbread
Honeycomb
Ice Cream Sandwich
Jelly Bean
KitKat
Lollipop
Marshmallow

400 MB isn't very much. And your phone is very likely the most complicated electronic device you own. The iOS 8 update was a little under 1 GB compressed, but expanded to 3-5 GB during the install process.

Ah right, nice one Doc. :)

I suppose it's a lot more fun than "Version 2.1.1" or similar, and "Marshmallow" sounds better than "COBOL" :D


But seriously, cheers for the heads-up to the (painfully) uninitiated.

To cut a long story short, I've updated my play music sub to use my Google play credit as the payment method, stupidly thinking it would use whatever was in there and make up the shortfall with one of the many other payment methods attached to my account. Apparently, this isn't the case and not enough credit = no payment.

My only option at the moment is to get them to try and take the payment again from my play credit, but as there doesn't appear to be a way to top that up other than a physical card, I still don't have enough credit.

I've changed the default payment method for the sub to my credit card, but when they automatically try the payment again later tonight, will they take it from the credit card or will they still try to take it from my play credit? Anyone know?

I asked in the new phone thread, but I guess I will ask here again because this thread is more active.

I'm thinking of getting this phone. What do you reckon?

http://www.dx.com/p/lenovo-p1-5-5-fhd-a ... nfc-408171

I'm a little limited in where I can buy a phone from, most places won't ship one to me, but that seems to tick most of my boxes.

I know it's a little on the bulkier side, but that's because it's got a huge battery, there's some phones in a similar category with half the battery capacity. Looks like it should get 2 days of fairly heavy usage, and I think having it be a little heavier is a worthwhile compromise for that.

I can't see any proper reviews posted online yet, so I'll probably wait for that before taking the plunge, but can anyone see any glaring issues with it? On paper it seems solid to me, and it's a great price.

Ha! Right?

Still, I'll just fit it with a wireless-charge-capable battery, then I can use all my wireless stuff.

Oh.

Apparently they will keep trying to take it from my play credit, and then cancel my sub. I can't help but feel that's a bit stupid. Oh well.

Anyone know how to block an incoming number in the Marshmallow dialler? All the instructions I can find online must be for older versions because I'm not getting the option at the point they think I should.

There doesn't seem to be a built-in way. There will be apps that do it, but that's not exactly perfect ?:|

Well, shit. I wonder why in the hell they'd remove that feature? It seems like it would be useful and relatively trivial to implement.

At least they can fix that - that absurdly low 0.34V headphone output is probably something that isn't going to be changed with an update :(

I can't check this, I don't have an M phone with me right now but I think: add the caller to a contact, under the contact settings overflow (three dots) menu select All Calls To Voicemail. Yes, this is not pretty :(

I'm still cross about it.

My next phone will have wireless charging, even if I have to get an end-of-line S6 Edge or something when my contract comes up next May. (Technically speaking it's up in July but Manx Telecom always very generously offer you a GREAT OFFER to renew early, which ever so slightly offsets the fact that they charge six gazillion pounds more for phones than anyone else. Having said that their 4G is pretty damn good so swings and roundabouts and all that.)

Any (popular) phone with a removable battery can be fitted with a wireless charge system.

That sounds like a faff compared to 'just plop your phone on top of a pad' though.

One on my desk at work, one on my desk at home - job done.

Having to plug wires into a phone to charge it again will be a very retrograde step. What are these 'wireless charge systems' then? It sounds very much like what my Nexus 5 has which THEY TOOK OUT OF THE NEXUS 6.

Any phone not charging from 0% to 50% in twenty minutes is a retrograde step. When wireless chargers can do that, I'll welcome them back.

Edit - also the Nexus 6 has wireless charging. Also also, other Android handsets exist. Some of them have wireless charging!

Ahhh yes it's the 6P they took wireless charging out of isn't it - whatever the case I'm just a ball of incandescent rage about the whole affair.

I'm sure this USB-C thing is fantastic with its mega-quick charging, but for me it's still a case of for the last 18 months I've got used to my phone charging without me plugging it into anything, so take that away and I get upset.

Took my phone off charge at about 9am this morning. 15 hours later it's on 76%, and is planning to go for another two days.

That's pretty fucking good.

It'd be even fucking gooder if you didn't have to PLUG THE THING IN USING WIRES when it needs charging again.

I will probably bear this grudge until the day I die.

This is "pure" doze mode on my Nexus 6. I took it off charge at about 10pm and immediately put it on my bedside table, then took this screenshot as soon as I picked it up this morning. So it's done nothing but doze. It loses about 1% per hour.

That is quite good in all fairness. At this rate we'll almost have mobile phones with battery life as impressive as we had in 1999.

I got given a Nokia for work in 1999, think it was a 5110? That thing used to do ten days between charges sometimes. Admittedly you could only play Snake on it, and it only held about 40 text messages before you had to start deleting some. But even so.

If you turn everything apart from voice/text off in a modern phone, and just use it for the odd call or text, then it will easily go a week I find.

My phone has an "ultra battery life" function! that just makes it into a basic phone, it is quite good and generally saves about 10-12 hours if used from full, so making the battery life about 4 days.

Hey what if those two statements were related somehow?

The 5110 had a 600 mAhr Li-Po or a 900 mAhr "slim line" Li-Ion battery, compared to the 1800-3500 mAhr batteries found in modern smart phones. It's not like there's a conspiracy to make them not last as long. They just do a fuckton more stuff, and also, battery chemistry has barely advanced since the 5110 days because physical sciences don't follow Moore's law.

This is a bit like complaining that you get better fuel economy out of a car than a helicopter. I mean, you do, but it's not like those two things are equally capable.

At home and at work. Basically if I'm in one place for any amount of time my phone is plugged in, and I'm fine with that.

Wouldn't it be cool if you could just put your phone down on a pad or something and it charged without needing to plug it in.
They should totally put that in a phone.

Oh yes I know it was specious reasoning, and I was being deliberately disingenuous in some regards (hence my comment about Snake and 40 text messages to indicate as such), however I have found myself on a few occasions really needing to use my phone as a phone, and the battery is on its arse before the end of the day because I happened to use it to play Hearthstone at lunch, and remembering wistfully the days when it was damn-near impossible to run a phone's battery down in a single day. (And it's all very well USB-C being able to manage a 7500% charge in 13.7 seconds or whatever, but it's not much use if you're underneath the floor in a data centre and you really just need to finish a call.)

I do wonder though if they'd invested as much time in battery technology as they had in cramming a 2560x1440 display into a fucking phone, if we'd have mobiles by now that didn't effectively brick themselves every 24 hours if you don't plug them into something.

There's lots of research going on into battery technology, but the single least interesting result of a major breakthrough there would be better batteries for phones.

My advice for conserving battery is to not use features of the phone that are battery-intensive, like gaming for example. Especially if you need it for work.

Are you under the impression the world only contains one type of scientist and they all work on the same thing at the same time? This isn't Civilization.
