TrackID by Sony Ericsson is my favourite applications in my SE phones, i use it to recognize any song over the radio, i just simply record a sample and send it to server, it will return a complete details such as Song Title, Singer, Album, etc..

but when i jump into android world, i couldn't find any apps to replace my favourite TrackID. anyone know which apps do the same thing?

Earth Hour Malaysia 2009

epool86 — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 10:08:37 +0800

i propose (this is a suggestion only) Lowyat.Net to be offline during earth hour program (28 March 2009, 8.30 to 9.30pm) to show our support to the program..

also the admin can doing site maintenance at the same time, so, the users can see Lowyat.net is supporting the program, at the same time the admin also enjoy benefit to do some maintenance, etc. without dissapointed the users by closing the website at normal time..

i found that few bloggers and website owner also want to close their website/blog during earth hour.

even the nuffnang website also will be not accessible during that time, read this http://www.nuffnang.com.my/blog/2009/03/22...orts-earth-hour

and if you still remember, during earth hour last year.. Google website suddently turn into dark (black background) to show support on earth hour.. read this http://www.google.com/intl/en/earthhour/

so, the point is here.. its not about how can close the website can save how much energy thus stop global warming, but its more to show support. google itself known that by changing the background to the black doesnt save any energy because the monitor still need the same ammount of energy wether to display white color of black color.. but google do this as part of the awareness campaign itself, to give and show their support..

so when people see it, owh everybody is supporting it and doing something.. why not i? and that is the starting point. and i myself also close my blog during earth hour.

note: sorry my bad english, and also this is just a suggestion from one of the earth hour supporter

[WTA] O2 Atom Life Battery Problem

epool86 — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 12:23:17 +0800

Im using O2 Atom Life, my problem is the battery exausted only within 3 or 4 hours only (for normal usage such as call/sms or internet surfing). For standby mode, it can stand about half day only . The situation is not much different if i buy new battery too.. is there any solution for this?

it become worst if im wathing live streaming video.. only stand less than one hour then 'padam'.

maybe you all guys now some tips on how to make my battery lasting longer..
or is there any other type of battery that i may use, currently im using 3.7V 1530mAh Lithium Polymer. is a higher mAh could solve this problem? where to find the battery with higher mAh, it is available or not?

how about other solution? maybe external additional battery perhaps

or is this normal for PDA? it it is normal, then perhap i should buy other phone.. regret to bought this O2 Atom Life.
