Increase Samsung Galaxy Nexus battery life with Screen Filter

By
One of the biggest contributors of battery life drain is the big OLED screen on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. For some people like me, I still feels that even at auto-brightness setting of the OLED screen is still bright. I felt that if i can still get a little lower brightness and still gets the auto-adjust of the brightness according to the environment lighting, it would be awesome.

Screen Filter app provides me with an extra dimming factor on top of the overall auto-brightness setting. I can adjust how much extra dimming to apply on my existing brightness of my screen and still have the auto-brightness to adjust brightness according to my environment lighting.

After using this app, the extra battery life that i am getting prior to my usage is significant (subject to how much dimming you are applying). I applied 60% of brightness of what the screen is giving me now and i probably estimate to get more than an hour of battery life out of it.

A Better SKMEI 1358 Instructions Manual

This SKMEI 1358 digital watch is a great watch for a really cheap price. However, the instructions manual is far from good. It took me some time to explore some of the functions and at the same time trying to understand the instructions manual provided by SKMEI. I decided to write an alternative instructions manual for this watch so that other owners of this watch might benefit from it. But never the less, I am not a good English language writer myself. But I do think it is still better than the instructions manual provided. Feel free to correct me using the comment section.

When downloading a large file with CartoonHD, it would take a very long time to complete. I have found that there is no way I could stop or cancel the downloading process if I decided to. Even if I reboot my Note 4, the downloading will restart again after the device rebooted. The only way the downloading can be stop is by uninstalling CartoonHD. I found a way to force stop or cancel the downloading process and here is what I did.

SKMEI 1358 Review

I bought this watch four months ago and I have been wearing it every week during my weekend hiking. Overall this watch is impressive considering the number of features per the price that I have paid for it. All the features worked flawlessly considering that this is a relatively cheap watch comparing it to Casio ProTrek range of watch. SKMEI 1358 is basically an equivalent of Casio's triple sensors watches. You might know them as Pro Trek or Pathfinder in North America. It has a barometer, a thermometer, and a digital compass. It also has an extra sensor that the Pro Trek watches might not have as far as I know of. It has a pedometer. Yes, it counts steps and estimates the calories burnt and distance traveled. With the combination of these sensors, this is an ideal outdoor watch you can have for a fraction of a Casio Pro Trek price. SKMEI 1358
