Are You A Pc Or Mac User?

what if i totally deleted everything off the phone and reset it to 'brand new' and then updated? sound like a plan?

[Cowboy1600]

Not a bad idea.

Make sure you sync your google account, then it will save all you contacts to your gmail account

i dont understand juice defender

i should really write all this shit down and go into a store and get them to explain it to me

[gotRICE?]

Juice Defender, in its simplest forms, turns off mobile data when the phone is locked. And re-connects it every 15 mins (or as you set it) to sync emails, IM's etc etc. It saves a hell of a lot of battery life if you dont need to receive emails or messages immediately.

If you get the uber version, it can learn where your WiFi locations are and automatically connect to them when your in the vicinity, and auto disconnect when you leave. Based on course mobile site locations.

Its pretty dam good, Have used it for a year or so now.

on the samsung galaxy s2 i deactivate data network mode, yet I'm still getting charged for downloads during that time. quite irritated cause by the time i realise whats happening I'm out of credit...

thinking of trying the new red bull mobile network...seems ok.

[gotRICE?]

Im on the S2 aswell. Cant say i have ever had that issue before.

mrs has the same phone and she don't have it either...

but has only started within the last 2months... more so pissed about the dropout issue, connects then i load one page and when i reply to here or another site, connection has dropped and takes a good 5-10 mins before reconnecting.

Do you get many MMS's?

They can chew data if the MMS settings are not entered correctly.

Or if you are checking your usage on your phone, make sure syncing is off

And in reply to the actual topic of the thread...

Bought a macbook about a year or two ago to try it out at work.

Used it for about a year, got given a PC notebook from the company i work for.

Since then, never went back.

Depends on use as too which one you prefer/use imo.

That said, I will never buy a iPhone, they give you iAids

Posted these vids in another thread, but maybe some other users in here might get a kick out of it

I bought an HP 13" Ultra book & as far as I can see it gets similar battery life (~5-8 hours per charge), has SSD + i5 & I paid just $610 for a display model (even brand new they are ~$900) compared to $1k+ Apple want to charge for their ultra books & gimme windows 7 over that Apple pos OS anyday.

Funny how I never had any major issue with any of my computers (now all running windows 7), 1 desktop for gaming and 3 laptops (1 gaming spec one, 1 old one for Uni & this ultrabook).

Only real issue I had was my asus gaming laptop had the GSOD issue, which wasn't a windows problem but a firmwire issue on the graphics chip (ATI 5870m) & a update custom firmwire fixed the issue.

& I just use some basic free A/V software with the default windows firewall, I found the people who always gets random virus (many family friends' computers) are those who just click on any random link without thinking (or don't know better) which in that case even the best security software isn't going to help, unless you restrict user access which will just cause them to rage at you saying that "you broke their computer" or "they can't do what they used to do"

^^ Exactly

i personally don't run any anti virus software, but i don't be clicking any links even if it looks like it comes from a friend

Aye, I don't run any form of security, and haven't done for a decade. I used to run Trend Micro Housecall every couple of months, but it never found anything so I don't even do that anymore.

i don't run any a/v or firewall software on my mac, still no harmful attacks.

mrs's toshi gets attacked at least once a week. run symantec on that but still its a shit fight.

[Madaz]

[jaffadrifts]

seems to be the a/v firewall shit with the least hassles so far tho.
