Refinements in Android 4.4 or KitKat<\/p>\n<div>In Location Settings, the merging of GPS control with WiFi is unnecessary, confusing and a real PITA. \u00a0If you want to leave Locations on. \u00a0The best way is Battery Saver, using WiFi and 3G. \u00a0When you decide to use Maps, there is quick way to turn on GPS. \u00a0GPS together with WiFi and 3G is a sure way to kill the battery. \u00a0Google in turn gets confirmation of every WiFi AP location in proximity.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Battery performance on Exynos handsets need more improvement. \u00a0I have tried CM11 and OmniRom&#8217;s KitKat. \u00a0Both builds look very finished but the battery life is really terrible.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>2.

Stop making 6 inch handphones or 2K displays.<\/div>\n<div>These are drop magnets. \u00a0Try instead for a better user experience like Moto X and a larger battery.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Past <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/?p=2030\" target=\"_blank\">article<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Things I like to see in the world of Android.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[222],"tags":[241,320,303,217,319],"class_list":["post-2625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-smartphones","tag-android","tag-android04-4","tag-cyanogenmod","tag-gps","tag-kitkat"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2625"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2625\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2687,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2625\/revisions\/2687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
