GOBBY WITH GOOGLE

I am not sure if I posted about this and I apologise if I have.

I have just contacted The Big 'G', I think stands for Gods lol, and had a go at them. This is because I have contacted them more than half a dozen times and had no response. I contacted them because I suspected my issues may be down to them?! Now I know that they are!!

My Moto G is doing the exact same things that my nVIDIA TEGRA NOTE has been doing!

Now this could have been argued by Google that this was down to KitKat, or Android version 4.4.2, but despite both devices being KitKat the tablet did this on the versions of JellyBean! Or ICS and two versions of JellyBean.

Now the odd thing is that I read a great deal of magazines when I am about to make a purchase. Magazine are so expensive today and I remember when they reached £2.00 and I thought that was dear!! Today they are £6.00 a shot! But what do you get for the best part of £20.00 I spent?!

Well in all honesty I felt like I was lied to and in this instance it will be difficult for any of them to talk three way out of it!!

This is because I have TWO DEVICES one of which is Google's own Moto G and the issues seen to be mainly down to text based things! Or in other words the simplest and most basic things that even 8 bit oppressing systems had no trouble handling!!

But my devices are new. I am sure the phone is but the tablet has a question mark over it, down to the fourth one they handed me missing volume buttons?!

But both devices are doing the same things?!

Now here are a couple of things for many of you to think about...

1 How come that no magazines managed to have issues when claiming to fully test dozens of devices? (I have 100% fault rate and had a go at nVidia unnecessarily)

2 Considering how much noise I made on my blog about faulty used items sold as new for over inflated prices and all the bodies I contacted about it that a year later I still have another device on my home that was used and faulty?! Possibly two that were used.

3 I have had nine out of 12 items in 12 months that were purchased as NEW but were nothing of the kind. 

This does not include my tablet and another in the hands of the daughter of some friends.

I only ever count the things I am sure about and do not count the things I am not sure about.

TESTING TESTING ONE TWO THREE

Right this is a little test post if sorts, you could say.

While at the save time I am going to explain what happened today with another test, of sorts. Lol.

Yesterday I saw the Doctor and he raise the dosage of my Amitriptyline from 20mg to 30mg and as some will know I started on 10mg.

So today was the first day after the first dosage taken of 30mg. Follow? Lol.

This morning I was mellow. Fairly mellow and was surprised at this. Now pretty sure that I have not had these before which now begs the question how did I know the name?

I was also planning to do something else today and that was to finally replace my broken phone. As some of you know this has been broken, screen, for several weeks now and I have lost count. Many of you will also know that I did think I might have been earning a small monthly amount from Google, huh fat chance! You will also note that I have note been out on my bike three times now but only locally? Well the were several problems I had. One was that typing out on that faulty phone has been a headache from day one and typing blog posts a real nightmare. Well the screen was pretty much shattered and the crack reached three edges. Push the screen with your finger and you will feel the screen flex quite a lot. So I did wonder a great deal about having that screen in my pocket and having an accident on my bike?!

That could be calamitous.

So I was going to travel to Tesco on foot to test these pills on their new dosages and plus they said it would rain today.

I got down to the A10 and bought a drink and a chocolate bar then realised I did not have my damn wallet?! That was after going back once already for something else!! While back at home I then realised I spent more money than I thought!

Also I had one of two deliveries I was waiting for and decided to have Tescos. But then at my friends store I started to change my mind!!

Two friends were trying to talk me out of buying a phone to just pay my landlord as I would have needed to dip into my rent... damn it meant to text my landlord!! Lol!

Cut a long story short the Vodafone store did the 8GB Moto G for £100 so I bought it. Phones 4 U had it for £120 so I figured most of my big apps are on my tablet. I also have a Sony Walkman which has my music and use with a Fiio Portable amplifier. You also get 50GB Google Drive Cloud space for two years which should have me sorted.

I can tell you the screen is amazing. Especially for the money! Yes I am sure there are sharper screens but there is precious little in it. Very little.

It asked then automatically downloaded my apps which with hindsight I should not have done. But it did not run out of space oddly enough?!

I was also shocked to discover Android 4.4.2 KitKat on it out of the box and then it did a small update?! Mad.

As for the typing out of this blog it took awhile for me to realise it did not have swipe, which oddly enough the stick Android KitKat on my tablet did?!

Two stock Android devices with a slight difference. So the typing is different and better than the tablet PC but it so dues odd things! Like when I just typed out odd it have me 'I'd' which is not even a word! Lol! They really need to alter that in their coding. Only suggest alternatives that start with the same bloody letter the use started with! It's not ticket science is it?

The thing with Android and Google is that these swipe keyboards are supposed to make it easier but it is slower than a proper keyboard. Well if you can type with a damn?!

In my degree we studied HCI which Human Computer Interaction. This involves adding together all the times it takes a user to do something. You get times for each key on a keyboard that is pressed, mouse clicks timed, reading menus and just about everything you can think of. This is so businesses can rest assured that anyone coding a before system that employs the science of HCI will come up with a sleek, fast and intuitive system. Thereby saving as much time as possible which to a business is money.

So then if you consider that they try to save themselves time you can imagine that when I an wading through pages due a hidden or non existent email address or anything wise I get annoyed...

Either the morons have been Todd nothing about HCI so have a crap system done by idiots or time saving is only important to them whereas the public or customers time is unimportant because we obviously have all the time in the world and cannot live in the UK with bills and taxes coming out your backside, e ask live in a Utopia?! Lol!

Yeah I do not always explain everything in detail straight away, lol. With anything I point out is wrong I leave clues that should make people realise but then hid a few things back. Will I have mentioned HCI on here previously but did not really go into it. HCI was merely an option in my third year and I chose it. The other option was coding games using Sony systems, called Yahtzee or something similar. I did not really see it to be easy to get a career in games programming so opted for HCI. Oddly the only interview I had was as a games company which I would have got had I done the Sony modules!! Lol!

Still what is done is done.

Well typing out this post was a lot less painful than it is on the broken phone, oddly this is now my THIRD Motorola smartphone and at least fifth overall! I should get a medal... Or a free phone?! Lol.

As for the pills... very mellow. Did seen quite nice for the first few hours. Did have a headache and feel a bit sick in the afternoon so I am hoping that these do not have the same effect as 900mg of Gabapentin?!

If the feeling was down to the pills I will be bitterly disappointed as well as completely shocked to the point of saying.... BLOODY TYPICAL!!

Oops I see Google did not get the bold and italic text sorted out with that last update?! Lol! It's only text Google?! Sort yourselves out for God sake!! Even 4bit computing did not have this issue!! Lol!!

Yes to have had two drugs to actually work to the point I actually noticed prescribed to be which are also the only two drugs I have EVER HAD that have given me side effects which BOTH INCLUDE feeling sick is, or will be bloody typical!! Lol!!

Anyway at least typing posts is easier, not always ideal to pull out the Tablet PC. Plus this thing is waterproof too!!

Hopefully (did not like that word!!) by the time I need another phone the manufacturers and Google would have sure themselves out?!

Or if there was a £500 phone that I simply had to have it would also be waterproof just like this £100 phone?! Lol!

Now I do not have to have visions of a hospital I have pissed off removing large bits of glass from deep within my abdomen?! Lol.

Now I just need some decent weather as I saw a butterfly today which blew me away! Think it was a Peacock. 

Need to get fit on the bike... something else that needs replacing!! God, it's never ending!! Cheers Google!!

Lmao!

HAVE A BREAK, HAVE A KITKAT

EDIT: I just noticed that yet again a number of posts have not bloody POSTED and added to this my keywords have all gone missing too!! Google at its most incompetent best or a didgy tablet PC?! NO DIFFERENCES OCCURED AS THE THE PROBLEMS I HAVE LISTED.

Well this is strange.

I have contacted everyone there is to contact over these Tegra Note Tablet PCs. Still waiting for some replies as in all honesty I will have to change it for another tablet which I wish I did not have to do.

Oddly I managed to pick the second one up from PC World today and they did have to fix it stating DC replaced on paperwork. Told the chap I have now had four of them and a 100% failure rate. He asked me if the others were the same and I told him that three are but that mine seems to have memory issues.

After I received the device I placed it back in the box and went and had a look at what other tablets were on offer. I told him that I cannot keep having these things happen. He shook his head and agreed with me. He asked if I had the other two and I told him I only had mine but that I need to get all my files of it before I hand it in so will have to come back.

Looking at what they had to offer though I'd the same bloody story, due to the greedy reasoning behind not putting an SD Card slot in the devices the choices were limited!

There were some nice Toshiba tablets though with one at 8 inch and another at 10 inch and at least one was a Tegra 4. They seem to have a nice aluminium casing but have since read that it is plastic, though hoping this is wrong!

I also looked at some Windows tablets but I just cannot bring myself to consider one. Though if it turns out that I can get the usual windows programs to run on it and not restricted to what they want you to use on it I may consider one.

However I did see something, well two things that were ideal but bigger and far too expensive for what you get. Both were laptops but one was made by Sony and has this clever feature where the screen flips over and it becomes a tablet?!

However where this was different to ones I refused to consider is this was brilliantly don't and very stylish!! Looked like a brushed aluminium Ultrabook and when the screen flipped over to laptop mode the rear side of the bottom of the screen suddenly pulled away from me and attached itself to the hinge?! It was magnetised and half of the back of the screen was in fact the hinge?!

It was very clever and was very, very cool. But it was also a cool £999.99 too as was the HP Spectre. The former screen diameter was 14 inch white the directs was 13.3 inch. So a wee bit bigger than my 7 inch tablet!! Won't be during in my new KATA bag!

Therein lies another problem! I IFT this Kata Sling Bag because this tablet pc simply would not fit in my Lowepro sling! I thought how bloody typical it would be that whatever I get does not fit?!

Still the Toshibas were 8 inch and that will probably be OK but the other is 10 inch and that will be a step to far!

The thing is the primary use of the tablet is to be able to type out documents and posts when I am in places where there will not be a power socket in sight. There would likely be times I would use it for photos and video but rarely as I will use the Sony Cybershot Bridge camera for that, unless I am out of power? But then I have a new backup up battery pack that can store enough to charge everything I carry with me! To give you an idea my current crappy phone is 1850 mah and the back up battery pack is 12,000mah!!

I also have a foldable solar panel pack though Amazon sent me an email to say that it had been left with a neighbour! Only the number they gave me had no one living their under that name and no bloody parcel!!

Oops, so in theory I have a foldable solar panel?! Which should also reduce me electricity bill further still?!

Then there is the fact my phone very seriously needs replacing?! The Moto G is the obvious choice and great value but the price keeps jumping all over the place?! Also it has no SD Card slot!! Again!! Moto X to expensive at over double the price but dies cone in 32 GB but not waterproof like the Moto G!

Arrrgg!!!! I'm sure they all do this to drive you body insane?!

Would you could get away with is possibly a Moto G 16GB and Nexus 7 32GB and a portable wireless hard drive?! Provided you could get a couple days juice out of all three at least then you have something.

But then your buying, charging and having to carry a third device because the greedy board members think themselves clever by holding out on an sd card skit thinking you WILL NEED, OR BE FORCED, to upgrade your phone.

Of course us lower life forms are far too stupid to see what they are up to and then hold off as long as we can before being forced to, say like by using a phone that has been faulty fur two years and a smashed screen fur the past couple months because he wants to give the greedy fecks as little as he can and make them wait as long as he can?!

Lmao!

Anyway, I digress.

I got home, tried to find number 51 only to find there is no Sarah and no parcel for me, I was also in pain from the past couple of days so thought I would have a lie down and rest my legs and feet? Really was rough being it and about today and just showed that I did very little for two days helping someone very close to my home and I am fecked!!

Then while laying on the bed I saw a message flash up with the capital letters OTA and realised it looked like an update?!

I checked and sure enough the fourth update is ready for this device and it is at long last... KITKAT 4.4.2!!

It has been downloading the whole time I have been writing this while I wait for someone to knock at my door with my parcel and it is now 97% done!

So I will sign off and pray the niggles with this thing are finally gone?!

GAGGLING AT GOOGLE

Your Blogger App and others are freezing up in part but not in FULL?! Two posts that state saving and one that says publishing in the screenshot have been like that as well as uneditable for 24 hours.

Curiously this stated happening after the third update which still was not Kitkat, very suspiciously!!

It also loses a whole she load of text on a regular basis and I have to be sure I have backed up the text elsewhere before pressing any buttons!!

This happening on the odd occasion would be bad enough, I mean losing a list of TEXT WRITTEN?! But presently this does this 50% of the time on your Blogger App and 90% of the time using other Apps?!

I have also written to you regarding this as well as AdSense, Blogger and other points besides.
