I decided to stuff the BBC 3G survey on to an Android phone. The phone was fully charged and left for approximately 1 day on a desk with no one using it.

This is what the battery usage graph said after a day:

How much power usage?!

A bit thirsty aren’t we?

Also, the thing appears to not discriminate between user-selected 2G and auto-discovered 3G. As I live in the back of beyond but somehow manage to get very marginal 3G coverage, I usually keep my phone pegged to 2G to stop it meandering all over the place. Presumably this would skew the results somewhat…

I’ve recently moved to Andrews and Arnold for my internet service provision needs and as well as being simply superb, they also provide native IPv6 connections.

In fiddling around, I found that my HTC Desire was quite happy to pick up an IPv6 address, as can be seen below. This makes me happy
