    Re: Google play services is destroying my battery (19hr+ awake time) Yesterday around mid-day, I was using CM11 before but updated because I was having a few problems (also with Google Play Services! that time it was the SystemUpdateService)

    Google play services is destroying my battery (19hr+ awake time) Hi, I've just updated to the most recent version of CM11 on my Galaxy S3, and Google Play Services is using up an incredible amount of battery: http://i.imgur.com/TClEvhA.png 71% and over 19 hours awake time, even though I...

    Battery has me already looking into the next round of phones

    Seems odd that people are having such different experiences with battery life. Could it be a carrier specific problem?

    Best Facebook Messenger-like SMS app? (with read later)

    Hi, I recently started using Facebook Messenger and love it - the interface is clean and simple, and the way you can easily read a message and then leave it until later is perfect for me... especially since I often use text messages as reminders for things The problem is I don't really use...

    A way for Home button to turn on screen but not go home?

    I'm having the same problem... but I seem to have at some point uninstalled S Voice entirely - is there anyway to reinstall it? I can't see it on the Play store... Thanks!

    Launchers are awesome

    Thank you, just tried the Android Pro Widgets and am really not a fan of them in the slightest. Fancy Widgets is a lot better, but seemingly only has the weather one available for free :(

    Launchers are awesome

    Thanks, but where to get them from?! :) (and see them with a nice preview!) I'm also wondering why Nova stacks all of my new app icons on top of each other, has anyone else had that problem?

    Launchers are awesome

    Calendar app with automatic icons?

    Hi, I've always used Week Cal on my iPhone and found it to be incredibly useful - the interface is really intuitive, but the best feature was that it had automatic icons depending on what was in the text, for example anything with 'Football' or 'Chelsea' would get a football icon, birthdays...

    TouchWiz vs Nova vs Apex

    Thanks all - just grabbed Android Pro and Beautiful Widgets :) The one I'd possibly miss is the TouchWiz calendar though, it's really quite nice compared to other calendar's I've seen

    TouchWiz vs Nova vs Apex

    Hi guys, I was wondering if there is a good run down anywhere of the features available and missing from each of the launchers? I'm playing around with the three of them right now and find it quite overwhelming, even to the point of not even being able to narrow it down to just 2! For some...
