In my experience, Google=android. Whenever you use Google, it shows up as android/services, etc. If you want iPhone battery life, then you should set your android up like an iPhone. For a Samsung phone, this means a granular sweep of the settings and turning off anything you never had on the...

App optimisation freezes selected apps depending on the time you set (auto/off/on) Doze zombifies apps regardless once the phone is still. (Note freeze/=zombies) I think they work well together. App optimisation works great for apps used normally, whilst doze works well on letting the phone sleep.

If you do get an android (coming from IOS), for God sake don't get caught up in all of the voodoo pushed out by (Android and IOS) users alike. *Take a few minutes to read the quick guide to android (Its a google booklet on the play store) *Set your phone up properly with a google account/store...

Re: what is happening to my new tablet..help me im a total newbie! You get what you pay for really. Ignore AVG. Its not needed. Go into settings/apps/all and uninstall it and any other crap.

Re: what is happening to my new tablet..help me im a total newbie! What tablet is it? What was the last app? Is the tablet new or second hand?

Do you own a swiss watch like an omega or a rolex? if so, looking after that and wearing it must drive you nuts. There is a line where a device crosses over from being a usable tool to a piece of jewelry. A smartphone (like a watch) is first and foremost a tool. it has a definite purpose. It...

As an ex BMW owner, its my experience that the vast majority of us (that I talk too) haven't a clue what's under the hood. And like Apple devices, I've found it to be an over designed and under engineered piece of expensive fluff. A ford would be much better for far less. Regarding your second...

Specs are meaningless to all but those whom they are important (ie those chasing a bargain or those whom are genuine power users) . Ask most BMW owners how many cylinders their engine has and the answer will mostly be "dunno" All that is important for the Iphone is that its good enough at what...

Meanwhile in Europe..... For Google to truly compete with Apple they need to be on-song 100% across all regions from the moment the box is open, I like Google, but "not available in your country" is a bit of a oversight if they want Android to truly stand up to the rest.

Yep. 1-2℅ drain p/h and don't forget that (iianm) the phone doesn't keep the battery at exactly 100% when charged. It cycles on and off The last 5-10℅ A better value for your standby drain will be had if you left it for a day*.... *imagine, lol

Which is exactly what I said....

Not true. Don't go through FULL cycles regularly as batteries in general have a certain quantum of energy they can can give, but, unless I am mistaken, its good to let a phone battery discharge every month or so (and after a few charge cycles when new) so that the internal battery calibration...
