[Shure or bust]

Arrival Monday

I have a Dignis on my DPX, and I am a happy customer.  I didn't pay 160 USD, I found it at a store in Japan for $70.  


This Granbeat is tempting, but I really abuse my phones, not on purpose, but considering it goes every where I go, it does tend to get dropped and knocked around.

As long as you use case, it should be fine. I wouldn't recommend using it daily without case though, it is not comfortable to hold (the sharp edges really dig into my hand) and it is quite heavy.

The original case and protection glass finally arrived. Snug fit both. Feels good in the palm. Quite happy while waiting for the  Kevlar to come out so that they can be used for different purposes.

Looks nice! I wonder why they left a gap like that on the bottom?

 

[mediabox]

It is the other way around. They left a little piece of uncut material, so that the body would not fall through.

Hi,
I got my Granbeat couple of days ago and I like it. I am having, however, a problem with the life of the battery. the set gets hot (102-106 F) and the battery is drained in 6 hours. did anyone face this problem ? and suggested fix ?
checking the battery usage, I can't see a program that I can pinpoint to cause this drain.

Try disabling Google photos and choose to uninstall updates.  Happened to me but couldn't find a way to have it installed and not drain battery.

I feel you need check whats wrong with battery or better you reset or hard reset will help the permanent solution.

Thanks. I will give it a try and see how it behaves.
I would need to probably use airplane mode to check if it is due to using celluar/Wifi or some kind of rouge app that is sucking the battery. the system should tell if a program is doing this though but I will check it anyway.

Using tidal while streaming for me killed the battery life really really fast.

I turned airplane mode on, battery saver on, gps off, and even used battery booster app on ultimate saving, and the battery drain rate is almost the same (5 hours battery life projected from full charge). Any ideas on how to figure this out and narrow it down to what could be the issue ?

Try installing gsam and look under app usage, background cpu.  Like I said for me it was Google photos just draining battery life and it wasn't even doing it via data transfer.  It was churning up cpu usage for no reason.

Google photos should be fine as long as you set the backup to Wi-Fi/while charging and disable notifications / create albums automatically.
