My PA just arrived, can't wait to unbox and use. Mine was on time, 3 days.

robert denby said:just figured id drop my 2 cents on some battery issues:
i am having a hard time telling the difference in usage ability between the powerex 2700's i got and some duracell 2450 mAH's i got a stop and shop for 8 bucks (4pak). i guess only time will tell which one lasts the longest but i used some powerex's (a set of 4) for about 6 months daily and they eventually stopped working as they had, i trickle charged them and everything but they just seems to lack the output they used to have. i chalked it up to intense usage and put them aside and got more.
i also saw the duracells at the store and figured id give them a try. i feel initially they both get as hot as quick despite this differing mAH. also i really dont rock a trench till its coffee brown so session longevity isnt really an issue for me.
it just seems that when you use the box 4-10 times a day with a set of 4 batteries, 6 months is about what youll get from them before you need to get new ones.
input?

For some reason, this forum makes that browser chew up 50% CPU Only happens on that browser as far as I can tell (which is a shame, as it's the best browser available for Android). I might shoot them a bug report.
Actually Opera Mobile has the reputation of being the best Android browser, and I agree with that, although I haven't yet tried Firefox on Android. Opera Mobile certainly doesn't chew up the CPU when visiting FC. One major deficiency I've read about for Dolphin HD is its Javascript performance, which might explain your experience.

I tried fixing it for a while and lodged a bug report but soon gave up on it altogether. Lots of people were having the same issues at the time, no idea if they've gotten around to fixing it up yet.

That sounds like Opera Mini not Opera Mobile. Opera Mobile is the only Android browser that scores 100% on the Acid 3 test, and it rates over 90 points (~33%) better than Dolphin HD on the HTML5 rendering test. If you want to discus this further, we should move to the Vapor Lounge.

I've tried that, but the ring is tight and has never seemed to move. I've also contacted MF, so we'll see.pakalolo said:wot said:Has anyone had a problem with the button on the PA becoming spongy? Mine doesn't 'click' on and off like it used to.
Try this: 7.6 My power adapter has gotten weak/stopped working, what should I do?
