Mobile site is mint. When you're not 11ty billion ks from butfcuk Idaho and reception keeps coming and going!

Mcleod

I'll have to come up with some sort of timeout and retry functionality.

TwinCam16

Lol.
Has anyone mentioned about it thrashing the battery?
Maybe it's just my shitty phone needing a restore.

Nothingman

My battery died in about 5 hours during the competition, but I was posting fairly constantly so not to bad in my opinion.

Mcleod

When you close safari all the JavaScript gets suspended so it shouldn't hammer the battery.

Or is this a Chrome on iPhone thing that I need to look at? LoL

If anyone wants some awesome sunday session beats, Radio Metro in surfers paradise is streaming live from Sunday sessions at Titanium bar http://radiometro.com.au/player/index.html

Mcleod

I just checked out chrome on my iPhone and it doesn't do anything in the background when its minimised....

So I guess it should be any harder on your phone than Facebook :P

I could disable the poller and introduce a refresh button instead... *shrug*

Shouldn't be any harder rather.

TwinCam16

Who uses safari??! Lol

vtrikk

Really enjoying the update that informs me when their has been a new reply whilst still in the topic!. Making life that much easier

#boostlyfsimplicity<3 haha

TwinCam16

Don't disable the poll. I was just saying it :)

My phones plugged in and I'm slowly using the battery quicker than I can charge it.

Mcleod

But yeah I guess my phone does get a bit warm :P I can make it lighter on the battery by stretching out the polling from say 7.5 seconds to 30 seconds.

LoL

Mcleod

Some sort of notification system on mobile for PM's and replies to topics you've posted in is next on my agenda.

vtrikk

Noob question, how else can you use the Internet besides safari?.

TwinCam16

Yea but 30 seconds you're likely to miss the conversation flow.

30 seconds is a long time... Just ask
Anyhoo how about the weather...

Mcleod

You can download Chrome or Firefox via App Store.

Mcleod

PS, LTE chews battery like crazy, I often disable it and just use 3G.

vtrikk

Have you considered making an actuall app for iPhone/iPad/galaxy?. Not sure on how it all works and if it's possible or not but may be able to sort something out along the line of push notifications etc?.

TwinCam16

Install Chrome noobcake

Nothingman

If you're using an iPhone Chrome and Opera. If you have android Firefox is also an option.

vtrikk

So most use chrome?. Also does this affect battery/data usage?. Going into the app store now, thanks guys!!.

Zimma

I use the stock android browser...

Mcleod

Yeah, I have a Boost Classifieds app that's almost ready for release and push notifications for seller enquiries is on my agenda.

But I'm hesitant to release to the App Store until its 'awesome', rather than just functional.

Probably me just being picky, but an app for a Boost Cruising is also on my agenda.

TwinCam16

If Firefox on PC is anything to go by I wouldn't use it on the phone.

And having an android is a shit option to start with anyway.

Nothingman

I don't know, Chrome for iPhone came out after I had switched to android. It would have to be better than safari, most browsers are (barring netscape).

Firefox for Android is pretty awesome, has a nice plug in which allows you to view source, no Firebug option that I could find yet but I hope its somewhere in development.

Zimma

Eh android based phone = free... Works for me

TwinCam16

Yep. You keep telling yourself that :)

You get what you pay for lol

vtrikk

I don't have access to a computer so am oblivious to what is good and what isn't.
I've taken your word for it and gone with chrome, waiting for it to download and see the difference.

TwinCam16

Good man.

Zimma

3 days battery life, nothing gone wrong with it to date, dropped multiple times and not a mark on it... Has done everything I need it to do so far

TwinCam16

I'm talking software rnd and qc that goes into android apps.

gutless

This sunday music is quite good and im usually only into music of the extremes.

Zimma

Ah, I don't see the point in the majority of apps to be honest on my Tablet the only app i run is the kindle app, on my phone i run umm Steam, ebay and a gba emulator.

Sorry forgot also running a Comic book reader on my tablet

TwinCam16

Each to their own.
I know I'm hesitant to use something that I am dependant on for work to be easily open to shit software etc etc.
that's why I have a no android policy at work. And with 15 software developers here its saying something when they also agree.

Nothingman

Have to agree on the apps. Apple's policy and usual 2 week wait time for review before it is published means pretty much everything has been thoroughly checked. Android you publish whatever you like pretty much straight away. Sure its easier but definitely a loophole.

Funny story actually.

The reason I went back to iPhone was because of this.
I was outside of dot with a mate waiting for our ticket to get called. Playing along and my mate said to me, " so what's the go with those galaxies, any good?" I reply with casual chat and ultimately how much better they were. I then held it from about 4ft high and continued to drop it on its face, not a scratch. He was pretty impressed and so was I at the time. That very same afternoon I got home and hopped out of the car forgetting I had left it on my lap. Yeah, shattered into a million pieces.... Bought the iPhone I have now the next day, grabbed my self an otter box and can confidently say it won't be braking on me anytime soon.
