I bought a bigger battery for my Samsung Galaxy S Android phone because the standard size struggled to get through a full day with heavy use. The new battery struggled as well after I installed and ran a GPS app, which I have since removed. Lesson noted.
Samsung Galaxy S bricked
I bricked my Samsung Galaxy S phone trying to upgrade the firmware to Froyo via Kies. It’s still under warranty, so I took it back to the store this morning. They said it might be three weeks before I get it back!
Galaxy tab
I’ll be interested to see what price the Galaxy tab starts at when it’s launched in Australia tomorrow. They are currently available on eBay for around $950, which seems ridiculously high.
Wireless problem with Dell Mini
I have a Dell Inspiron 1210 mini notebook computer. It hasn’t been used much over the past 12 months, except for when I was living in a unit before moving into the house. At the unit I used a Telstra Turbo wireless modem to connect to the internet. Now I have a desktop PC and a wireless network. With the twins moving to Adelaide soon I thought I’d get the mini ready for them to use. Initially it failed to identify any wireless networks, despite being six feet away from the router.
Mobile phones on aircraft
Coming back to Adelaide from Mount Gambier, I accidentally left my mobile phone switched on while boarding the aircraft. It didn’t seem to interfere with the plane’s navigation system or any other electrical equipment.
