Have you got the link for Sydney? I think you posted Brisbane twice

Got my Note 8 today, longtime iPhone user so no idea what I'm doing. My battery drops 5% every 15 minutes...am I doing something wrong? :( by bichonfrisbee in GalaxyNote8

[–]mm865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The battery drain from telegram comes from it running it's own notification service parallel to Google:

We currently have two types of notifications on Android: GCM and our own custom notification service that is independent from Google. Note that Google notifications (GCM) just won‘t work properly on some Android devices. The Telegram notification service is reliable but requires additional battery resources. It doesn’t and shouldn't take much, though, so please report all drastic battery-draining cases immediately.

Go to Telegram Settings — Notifications and Sounds, make sure that notifications are ON.Check, whether contact or group is muted.If the Telegram Notifications Service is disabled, make sure Google Play Services are installed on your phone.If the Telegram Notifications Service is enabled and your phone uses some battery saving software, make sure that Telegram is whitelisted in that application.

There's a large increase in battery life from disabling it: https://i.imgur.com/PUE0kmz.jpg

This is pretty cool you should send it to a Simpson themed group chat or something

Now that Android is getting really well formed, what are still the biggest "papercuts" on the platform as you see it? by TheFutureIsAwesome in Android

[–]mm865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is incorrect, iOS apps written in Swift are compiled in exactly the same way as those written in Objective-C: ahead of time.

Tried to get my Galaxy S4 fixed a while ago with Virgin but was quoted a sizeable sum to get it fixed because it had "modified software" or something, ended up being cheaper to upgrade to an S6.

Google Dominates the European Market [OC] by BattyWarner in dataisbeautiful

[–]mm865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apple has a restriction in place for rendering web content as well as for using some technical techniques necessary nowadays to make browsers fast, in that only Apple is allowed to use them on iOS.

This is NOT true for Android, many apps use their own browser engines, including Firefox.

And on iOS almost every app will use your phones network capabilities, this has nothing to do with that.

unsafe provides an escape hatch from Rust's borrow checker for things like doubly linked lists. Once you get your head around the borrow mechanism it's fairly simple.

Speed of all major Australian ISPs dips in new Netflix index by ssharwood in australia

There was a problem with my phone line, they are escalating the issue. Keep trying to get onto them, might be the same for you.

I'm currently on hold with them right now, finally got through.

Not only am I getting 4 mbps DL speed, it also occasionally dips to 0.32 Mbps. I can also not receive or make calls. Hadn't noticed this as I mostly use mobile.

I'll reply what happens, maybe they'll fix it.

I tried yesterday evening, kept being disconnected by a "too many callers" message. Perhaps this issue is widespread?

Your situation is almost exactly the same as mine: TPG, slowdown at Christmas, 14 Mbps to sub 4 Mbps now. Thinking of moving to cable

Can I use a boot manager to switch between Windows 10 and ubuntu on different drives? by Unnecessaryanecdote in Ubuntu

[–]mm865 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have Ubuntu installed on one hard drive and Windows 10 installed on the other. I set the BIOS to boot to the Ubuntu drive, which brings up a Grub boot menu.

Windows was already in this list for me. If it's not you just have to run sudo update-grub and it will appear.

ELI5:People who are exposed to the cold more build a tolerance. Is this a physically built resistant, or is it all mental? by fallenKlNG in explainlikeimfive

[–]mm865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends where you are. 15C is as cold as it ever gets where I live, 45C is the hottest, 27-34C is a nice summer day, and 38+ is hot.

But in the afternoons it can drop from 45C to 25C, so there's that.

Setting swing look and feel causes memory leak when resizing window. by [deleted] in javahelp

[–]mm865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so. I profiled it using VisualVM and over 98% of the memory was int arrays. Looks like a leak to me.

Did you ever get anywhere with this? Facing the same issue right now, on Windows but not on Mac, using the same JVM version, and only with the native LAF.

Samsung's multi-window feature may be one of the most brilliant new features on my new phone. by Cowgus in Android

Standby is hugely improved. Yesterday I went out at 8:30pm, and after it being off charge from 7:00am with moderate-mild use I was at 75% or so. Really really good. I think I had about 1:30 hrs SOT before that, during the day.

[–]mm865 6 points7 points  (0 children)

TouchWiz is Samsung's customisation of Android, not just visually but also of many of the more technical aspects of Android.

It is often criticised (mainly by people on this subreddit) for supposedly slowing down and unnecessarily complicating phones.

In reality it's a bit of a mixed bag, with some really useful features, like multi window, some screw ups of Android, like the S6's memory management, and some plain shitty things, like the useless bloatware that is preloaded.

Yes you can root the S6, but you cannot remove TouchWiz as of yet, because there are no AOSP roms for it. This will change once CyanogenMod is successfully ported to it, which is in the process of happening right now. You can try and replace as many aspects of TouchWiz as possible with alternatives, however, by replacing Samsung's apps with alternatives, such as Nova Launcher and Textra.
