Nice, but annoying. It’s for sure that Apple’s software quality has gone down a lot over time. I think that the last few versions of iOS have all got worse every time.

The problem with power

Posted by on in Tech

For a while now I’ve been having issues with my iPhone 5’s. Basically the battery life has been getting progressively worse over the last few months until now it will barely last a whole day with minimal use. This is not good. I know that battery life on these devices is never ‘good’, but this is moving along a path to unusable. The device is over a year old, and I suppose you could say that I’ve used it pretty heavily over that year. So maybe it’s just to be expected. I don’t know.

What I can tell you is that my current solution is to use a portable battery for my iPhone. Apparently this battery should last me for about 4 or even 5 charges. That’s what it says it’ll do anyway. My plan is to test it tomorrow and see how both devices get on with each other.

Romo returns!

It has been just over a week since I sent my Romo off to Germany to have his main board’s firmware updated to work with an EU smartphone. He’s back, and he works just fine now. In fact, he seems to be as good as new.

After all this time it’s great to be playing around with my Romo and enjoying such a clever idea. Now I want more from my Romo apps already!

Android on my 3G and emulation

Posted by on in Tech

I was thinking about getting Android going on my old 3G and even running StyleTap the palm OS emulator for jailbroken iPhones. Then I realised that I’d done exactly the same thing this time last year and had tried all of the above.

So maybe I shouldn’t bother trying it all over again. But then again maybe I will.
