  1. If you have an Android phone, in general settings are usually the same for every phone. Every phone has several "radios". 1 Radio take care of phone voice and SMS, 1 take care of 3G, 1 (optional) take care of 4G or other Hi_speed wireless network, 1 take care of WiFi, 1 is GPS and finally 1 take care of bluthoot. As a rule of thumb, don t have radios on you are not using (shut down BT if you have no devices connected). Depending on how the connectivity for the basic 3G is (see my example with my office), you may want shut down that radio. Go to SETTINGS and then to WIRELESS AND NETWORK (name can be different but that s the concept), then find MOBILE NETWORKS and there you should see your DATA provider or simply the 3G connection and the option to turn it on/off. Of course your phone stays fully operative for voice and SMS but you will not have sort of internet updates (such us push emails, gadgets updates and so forth), but that translate in an 80% battery saving. I shutted down my radio today at 10 am when i got at the office and it was 99% and right now while I am typing it s 6.23 pm (8 hrs and 20 minutes later) it is at 96%. Going ahead like this, it could last for 3 days
  2. hi guys, Sometimes ppl with hi-end Smartphones complaines about Battery life. I found a solution I wan t to share with you. My Galaxy S 2 in general has a very good battery life> of course it depends on usage but let s say just as standby i can easily achieve around 15 hrs standby. I noticed tho that a lot depends on your location and how hard the radio needs to work to provide the Internet connection. At my home i have excellent coverage and my phone easily goes 15 - 18 hrs standby with all the radio active. On the other hand i was going nuts because at my office, in my room I have horrible reception (phone is fine, Internet is bad) and my battery was gone in 6 hours!!!. I was trying to limit the active connections to the minimum but then i discovered that the massive work the radio tries to do "just to get the Internet connection" was draining my battery. My solution has been to shut down the 3G radio when at the office. for 8 hours is no more a "smart" phone but just a phone... or i take a walk outside to take a break and I turn the radio on again... I mean, i do not really need my phone to struggle for the intenrnet when I have the internet on my PC for 8 hrs. As a result, got almost 30 hrs standby. So if you have any similar issue, do not go nuts to find what process in background try to use internet... just shut down the radio and your battery will be happy ;)
  3. Possible.. good time killer and true, better of "some" Mech games for sure Waiting for the Ultimate Mech game..... zum zum Mech ;)
  4. I was curious at first. I am not a huge trekkie but I do enjoy the movies, especially the last one from JJJ Abrams. However after watching this review online http://www.gamespot.com/star-trek-online/videos/star-trek-online-video-review-6251443/ I decided to pass this experience
  5. Now we are Rockin' !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIZzkeyN9sM

  7. The Acer A700 is really a beauty... Most probably will cost one arm and one leg... but is really a nice gadget. With those kind of specs can be an easy Laptop replacement. Actually, as a productivity gadget, when you get the right software (such as Office), you can accomplish all of the most common tasks you would use your laptop for. Besides not being able to play games for Windows a tablet like this is very nice. I am still in love with the Thrive but this one is very nice.
  8. I got my refund today !! .. hmm I guess i ll get... yeah.. a Stripper ;) does Intel or AMD provide any support for Strippers ??
  9. I do not use fancy headphones, my model is a very light and simple one, 15 bucks. What i like in it is that instead to go over head it goes behind your neck. Microphone is decent, but for sure i have no "Hi-Fi Surround Sound" .. it is what it is I know hajimoto has a very good one, you may wanna ask him This is what i got: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=behind+neck+headset+and+mic&hl=en&cid=1978167577711766901&ei=fGMsT5B7ivaxB_flvZgF&ved=0CIQBEPMCMAg#p Then, you wanna be fancy and buy the exact same shit BUT with a Logitech Brand, get this http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=behind+neck+headset+and+mic&hl=en&cid=14136888069907275719&ei=fGMsT5B7ivaxB_flvZgF&ved=0CGsQ8wIwBg#p However, they are nice and light. I cannot stand those big heavy stuff on my head
  10. Continued Dev blog.. Read this http://mwomercs.com/news/2012/02/112-dev-blog-4-role-warfare-cont This is getting very promising !!
  11. .. Toward the end, did he destroy a BTR with 3 frag grenades ?? I don t know.. I am very skeptical about this game. I just don t understand why they decided to go to this arcadish, console style with the hybrid 3rd person view (becoming 1st person when using optics). I just can t take a Ghost Recon game like this seriously. All of these gadgets, Thermal vision, Radar vision ( I don t know how to call it when he switch to that view to see ppl inside the buildings)... It seems to me there are too many visual aids. Ok, it is called Future Soldier but is there any real connection with stuff potentially available? If they were calling it G.I. JOEs was making any difference? Probably can be a nice game to play but calling it "Ghost Recon" is just offensive to the franchise IMO.
  12. ... zum zum MECH... zum zum MECH !!
  13. Lol.. then u better consult a medic .. if they keep their promises.. this mech game could be EPIC
  14. Lol Skaz !! yeahh I am addicted to Mechs !! ... But you know.. just because i m pretty sure the ppl having fun on Tanks can be great on Mechs, that s the reason why i hope they will give it a shot Gunthar.. think about.. Being a Lance Commander... 4 mechs (or 6) and all of the destruction you can bring during a Clan War !! oufff...
  15. I am not into Tank stuff.. but tell me you guys are going to evaluate the possibility to create a solid team when MechWarrior Online will be out Check this out to see what we will have there: http://mwomercs.com/news/2012/02/107-dev-blog-3-role-warfare
  16. Ok guys, please read carefully this Blog here: http://mwomercs.com/news/2012/02/107-dev-blog-3-role-warfare I suggest to sit comfy and be preparred to a possible orgasm while reading...
  17. Actually i would suggest to wait to better see the perks on being House related regiments. Although "merc" sounds cool, I read somewhere they have some solid limits to evolve withing the Universe because they are not related to any House, therefore they do not have direct perks the House may offer. I am not saying is bad.. I m just saying we may want to see what is good to be related to a House. Most probably it comes with better technology, provided by the House itself ;)
  18. So, I am trying to get closer to Arma, a beautiful game I left apart a few months ago. Yesterday I had an interesting session with Karl, Scorpion and Overseer. They are actually playing an intriguing PvP version called CTI If I should compare the Mod to something we all know I would say the BF3 Conquest. But this is the only comparison can be made. This MOD allows very interesting options. I will try to explain the basic but if any of the "Veteran" players wanna jump in and tell us more, I am sure it may sparkle some interest in other ppl too. All is based on money. With money you can buy assetts to use during your Conquest task. The more you kill enemies and conquer objectives, the more you get reward you can use. You can play in several ways. Joining an ongoign team of peers, alone and creating a Squad of AIs (potentially way more than a squad) to help you to achieve your goals, or just Both. So, of course maps are huge. you have to travel to get to towns where you will conquer Main Base and Bunkers, then you move on. Classic Conquest concept. What intrigues me is probably the Commanding aspect. You can create a Squad, Platoon, whatever.. the size is limited only by how many units you can control and the money you have to spend on them. I really would like to learn more and play this mod with others, this can be very interesting. NOTE: I forgot to say, we played this on totally Vanilla OA, no mods allowed.
  19. EBE, if you have a problem with the download, we can try to figure out a way for me to give you my download, which is patched up to 1.59. Then as soon as you run it, it will ask for your Key code and you put yours. However is a very large download and it may take ages to go thru. Also the download I am talking about is OA only, not ARMA2 My stuff for this game is NOT Steam.
  20. It is almost here! I can t wait!! DEMO out on 2/14 and final out in March. Although I am skeptic about the multi on this game, I might be surprised Are you gonna jump on the wagon ??
