How exactly did u turn off google now ?
And 3 days is nice, but what is important is the screen-on time.
If its 20 minutes screen-on in 3 days its very dissapointing.
If its 6 hours screen-on in 3 days thats great !
My sister got 9 days from her galaxy note, but screen-on time was 20 minutes in total. Not that impressive anymore now is it.

Comment on Eliminating annoying flicker transitions with jQuery Mobile on Android by Damilola

Got this from a jquery ghithub website

Solution to flicker problem in jQuery mobile page transitions!
Milestone: 1.4.0

uGoMobi is assigned
I’m developing a mobile web site using jQuery mobile framework. When I use page transitions (like slide), it causes a flicking. Especially in default browser in android phones, flicking is really bad.

I deeply investigate the jquery-mobile.js to understand when this flickering happens. After spending many hours, I found which code part causes the problem: Enabling/Disabling zoom on just before page transition!

in jQuery mobile 1.2.0 source codes (line 7211 to 7234):

$.mobile.zoom = $.extend( {}, {
enabled: !disabledInitially,
locked: false,
disable: function( lock ) {
if ( !disabledInitially && !$.mobile.zoom.locked ) {
meta.attr( “content”, disabledZoom );
$.mobile.zoom.enabled = false;
$.mobile.zoom.locked = lock || false;
}
},
enable: function( unlock ) {
if ( !disabledInitially && ( !$.mobile.zoom.locked || unlock === true ) ) {
meta.attr( “content”, enabledZoom );
$.mobile.zoom.enabled = true;
$.mobile.zoom.locked = false;
}
},
restore: function() {
if ( !disabledInitially ) {
meta.attr( “content”, initialContent );
$.mobile.zoom.enabled = true;
}
}
});

I deleted the lines:

meta.attr( “content”, disabledZoom );

and

meta.attr( “content”, enabledZoom );

(lines 7216 and 7223)

Then it worked smoothly without a problem! I don’t know if it causes another problem but the problem was changing max-zoom in page transition. In my tests, it worked correctly without any problem.

I wanted to inform you to consider this problem while changing zoom.

Comment on Exploring the Grails Cache Plugin: Evicting Multiple Caches by TimeSearcher

TimeSearcher — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 15:55:54 +0000

Very helpful article. I’m wrangling with some caching issues at the moment: specifically with the GLDAPO 0.82 plugin that adapts LDAP to domain class-like GORM behaviours.

Updates (to passwords) work fine, but binds with the old password succeed when they no longer should (until the Grails server is restarted).

I’m going to experiment with this caching approach in this article. GLDAPO has a Spring 1.2.2 dependency. But it may be time to explore use of Spring 3.1 to get lightweight caching (and eviction!) for my GLDAPO service methods.

P.S. Am a happy MEAP subscriber to your GinA 2nd edition).

Ya know, this did fix that flicker on Android for me, but it introduced an iOS bug that was worse. It made my fixed jQM header and footer tabbar disappear sometimes in iOS only. This was a most unfortunate and unhappy occurrence as I considered what to do.

What fixed THAT was to make sure that they had the correct data-position as fixed – for instance:

That worked to fix the bug that your fix solved. Thank you! But arrugggghh with this web-wrapped-in-js-native-mobile sandwich stuff. The layers of fixes for simple UI things is reminding me of bad cross-browser compatibility days of long ago.

Thank you Glen !!

Comment on A Lesser Known Grails Tag: g:external by yamkazu

yamkazu — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 16:21:40 +0000

In this case, I think you should use “r:external”.
“g:external” writes unnecessary tags, ex dir,file,contextPath.

Another reason is wrong media output.
