Solved: Apple iPhone 4s Battery Issue Fixed

As an owner of a brand new iPhone 4s, I noted the crappy battery life compared to previous versions of the phone. The UK Guardian brought the story to light with a few suggestions of fixing the issue, from turning off location services, specifically turning off the “Setting Time Zone” feature in location services.

As an Apple developer I feel a sense of duty to get to the bottom of this and after an afternoon of fiddling around the issue is a real simple fix.

  1. First use your iPhone 4s until the battery is completely depleted and shuts off.

  2. Plug in your charger and charge the iPhone until it’s back to 100%

Doing so fixed the issue on my iPhone 4s. Subsequent usage is more within the 200 hour standby spec Apple cites. I’ve communicated with Apple about this. They will test the fix and I and expect them to issue a support article soon.

Racist Karen Finny on MSNBC talking about Cain ” “I think he giving that base a free pass. And I think they like him because they think he’s a black man who knows his place”

It’s about time that MSNBC stop with the racist commentary. Via the Weekly Standard:

“On Martin Bashir’s television program this afternoon, Democratic strategist and MSNBC analyst Karen Finney said that Republicans are supporting Herman Cain because of his race:

“One of the things about Herman Cain is, I think that he makes that white Republican base of the party feel okay, feel like they are not racist because they can like this guy,” Finney said. “I think he giving that base a free pass. And I think they like him because they think he’s a black man who knows his place. I know that’s harsh, but that’s how it sure seems to me.”

“Thank you for spelling that out,” Bashir responded.

Watch:

You could only imagine the outrage from liberals had this been a white commentator saying the same of Barack Obama. Indeed we know that they claim ever critique of Obama to be racist.

Attacks on Herman Cain are Simply Racist

Herman Caine has been under attack in the media lately. A lot. Using the lessons learned from the left we know this can’t be anything except racism. After all hasn’t all the critiques of Barack Obama up to now been racist?

Remember this from October 09, 2008, By Joe Garofoli, published in the SF Chronicle? I mean it’s so clear!

“As CNN’s pundits wondered whether instant post-debate polls favoring Sen. Barack Obama meant he would win on election day, analyst David Gergen - who has been an adviser to Republican and Democratic presidents - stopped them.

“I think it’s too early to declare victory, because Barack Obama is black,” Gergen said Tuesday night. “And until we play out the issue of race in this country, I don’t think we’ll know and maybe (not until) late in the campaign.”

While Obama’s campaign has fended off racially rooted attacks since its inception, analysts say the ones surfacing in the past few days have been more overt, arriving as many undecided voters are making their final decision. They are part of a recent stream of attacks on his background, including his religion and his connections to a former ’60s radical.

“It is the Willie Hortonization of Obama,” said University of San Francisco associate professor of political science James Taylor. Horton, an African American man, was a Massachusetts felon who committed a rape and armed robbery while on a weekend furlough. Republican strategist Lee Atwater used a TV attack ad featuring Horton to create a negative impression of the 1988 Democratic nominee, former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, in the campaign’s final months.

Instead of using a grainy photo of a grizzled convict as Atwater did, the current attacks, analysts say, are embedded in “coded” language. They cite as examples Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin portraying Obama as a cultural outsider and friend to terrorists and the dismissive way his Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain, referred to Obama at their Tuesday night debate as “that one.”

Indeed every valid concern about Barack Obama in 2008 from Rev. “God Damn America” Wright, to Bill Ayers, all were considered racist attacks by those on the left. Funny now that we see some of the very same attacks on Herman Cain, surely they must be racist in nature?

What else could they be?

Report: Turkish Tanks Enter Northern Iraq

Ominous considering the pullout at the end of 2011.

“ISTANBUL — Turkish tanks entered northern Iraq and were heading towards a Kurdish militant camp, Turkish media reported Tuesday.

The army’s incursion is part of the reaction to last week’s series of attacks by the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in which 24 Turkish soldiers and policemen were killed in the border province of Hakkari.

Turkey responded with air raids on PKK camps in northern Iraq, which it uses as bases to attack Turkey.

The target of the latest operation was a PKK camp in Haftanin, around 20 kilometres over the border.

The incursion is being denied by an Iraq border official and also the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, the rebel group operating out Iraq’s Kurdish region and is the target of Turkish forces, Agence France Presse reported.

According to Iraqi Col. Hussein Tamer, head of the border guards for Dohuk province in north Iraq along the border with Turkey, the Turks have not entered the region.

“There has been no Turkish incursion by soldiers or Turkish forces onto Iraqi soil,” he told AFP.

Ahmed Denis, a PKK spokesman, also denied the attacks, telling the news agency that “Turkish forces have not entered Kurdistan’s soil.”

But Turkish security sources said that some 20 tanks and 30 military trucks had entered Iraq from Siyahkaya village, and Turkish warplanes bombed the Haftanin region.

They also said Turkish troops were sent by helicopter to Zab, and were aiming to enter Sinaht, which is close to Haftanin.

The PKK has been fighting for independence or greater autonomy for Kurdish regions since the 1980s. Around 45,000 people have been killed in the conflict.

The group is classed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the European Union and the United States.”

Rally to Force the Firing of Tony Sparano

Miami Dolphin owner Steve Ross doesn’t get it. Even after the Dolphins go into a 9 game losing streak heading into last year and after a franchise unprecedented collapse today losing to Denver after being up 15-0 with less than three minutes left, he refuses to let Tony go. We’ve got news for Mr. Ross. It may be his team, but it’s our Dolphins and he has allowed this storied and proud franchise to become a laughing stock. It was our team before it was his, and we’re not taking it anymore.

So here is what fans can do.

1. Stop buying tickets. Stop buying Miami Dolphin merchandise. NADA. Don’t support his team, he’s not supporting you.

2. Beginning this week I’m calling for protests outside of Dolphin HQ at Sun Life Stadium. Let’s show up in force. Numbers count.

3. Also call the Miami Dolphins at (305) 943-8000 and tell them to fire Tony Sparano. Keep calling, flood the lines.

4. Use Twitter, Youtube and Facebook to fan the flames, get the word out. Ross has no choice, fire Sparano, or we’ll bankrupt the team.

Let’s get to work.
