Tips to Boost your Android Phone Battery Life
by Tech List Kenya 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Actually 1 trick worked miracles for me: Disable/Uninstall Chrome browser. That thing is a battery hog. The phone used to get so hot and sometimes it would actually overheat, after a few minutes of use. I defaulted back to Opera Mini. Save for a few sites that it doesn't render very well, this worked for me. For the sites that don't display well, there are apps. Think FB, LinkedIn, etc. If you have a rooted phone, I saw guys recommending the AOSP browser. Or even Firefox. Thing with Chrome is that it drains the battery even when it's not in use. Tip no. 2: I use AVG which I think takes this work a little bit too seriously. At 30% it kills all my connections, reduces brightness (and a few other battery optimizations) Sources: My experience - My phone is now at 26%, 16hrs after I disconnected the charger at 73% http://forums.androidcentral.com/sprint-galaxy-s-ii-epic-4g-touch/195986-un… http://www.yaabot.com/5015/5-apps-drain-battery-androidios/ http://forums.androidcentral.com/sprint-galaxy-s-ii-epic-4g-touch/192616-ch…

by steve wanaswa 10 Mar '14

10 Mar '14

Looking for a Property management system with at least the following features. 1. Leases - automatically notify when due, and escalate rent automatically when due. 2. Tenants Billing - This should be a routine exercise to be performed monthly/quarterly, and the debits/credits posted to the accounts system automatically. 3. Property vacancies and its percentages at a glance. 4. Landlord reports - Total income per property, total expenses and net income to the landlord. 5. Total expenses per property - This will guide to know when building expenses are going up. 6. Utilities management(Phone,Electricity,Water bills)
