Sorry if this is the FAQ of the month, but 2 problems....
First.... I power up about 1300, give or take. (Actually, "unplug the phone from the charger".) Generally, I check e-mail via my WiFi, or use uTube for "information" or entertainment. Make (or answer) a call every couple of days. Often, by 1700 to 2200 the battery's down to 20% or less.... Charge it up and it's OK for a couple hours. If it doesn't flake earlier (or if it does), it's down to 20% or less by about 0300. Wouldn't care, but I often want to use the thing until about 0500...
The phone's about two years old, and just started doing this a few months ago....
Any ideas?
Second question: I have two WiFi networks here. One's upstairs in the bedroom wing, and one's downstairs in my office. They overlap a bit - the house isn't _that_ big, but it's a ranch, and quite a walk between routers. I like the coverage... The two routers are on different channels. The problem.... The phone often selects the _wrong_ router v.s. signal strength. If I'm down in the office, and using the router down here, and then head upstairs, I'll either find it still linked downstairs, or searching for a link. Then it picks the downstairs link.... One "bar" instead of four, or something like that.
Any ideas?
TIA
