66 days of uptime.. or "post your uptime"


Recommended Posts

I see your 66 days and raise you:

 

uptime.thumb.jpg.5ef68a4b8eb451842fb6373d84754118.jpg

 

27121 hours = 1130 days = 3+ years.

 

Up since January 5th 2015.

 

To give some context this phone is used to play the on-hold music for our phone system, it replaced a really old cd player which failed. As you might notice I had to file away some of the phones case for the jack to fit in.

 

The phone runs Android 4.1 with the Apollo MP3 player from Cyanogenmod looping some royalty free music.

Well it counts! :laugh:

 

Brownie points for the filing :rofl:

 

But how about some devices with day to day usage!

If you had asked me yesterday my OnePlus One would have been at 40ish days, however it's at 8 hours at the moment.

I'm at 45 hours at the moment. I was messing around in Tasker trying to get it to change the wallpaper to a random picture every 15 minutes and so I had to keep switching it off and on to test. But if I had to guess I would say 2 or 3 weeks normally.

and how do you feel your experience is at 3 weeks? laggy?

Or.. Holy moly how unoptimized android is for being always on, it gets all laggy, skippy. Until I hit smart doctor it kinda improves. Tempted to see how much longer I can go.

Unoptimized Android? What phone and Android version do you have? Sorry but my phone runs just fine with no lags and no need to reboot. Granted, I never get past about 30 days because of monthly security updates.

LG G6...

You don't get security updates? Carrier phones do suck and have a lot of added crap and bloat so blaming Android is probably unfair.

Nope, Unlocked model (Eg no carrier) so no bloat besides that of LG, but yeah, anything non-nexus-non-pixel flatout sucks.

See I thought it was because it may have been an older phone. It's surprised me that that's the case with an LG G6. My G4 was pretty rock solid until the bootloop issue hit. 

 

It struggled with a few games that I used to play, but for most every day tasks/apps it was fine with not being rebooted unless it had an issue

 

I'm currently on a measly 32 hours.

aye, my old g3 didn't have this much hiccups as well, i'm guessing this is just unoptimized build for this phone. After and if i get Oreo, i'll do a clean reset, see if that improves, currently rocking 68 days. hiccupy (I mean, like minor hiccups, no major lag, just whatsapp taking a bit to open, swiftkeyboard )

How did it behave, normally?

Yes it was fine. The only reason it got restarted was because I fell asleep without putting it on charge.

 

I've always found my OnePlus One to be very responsive, now that OnePlus no longer support it i simply update it every couple of months with a custom rom. For a phone i've had for 3 and a half years i'd honestly say it's a responsive as the day I got it.

 

This is the longest i've ever had a phone and not felt the need to upgrade. In comparison my phone previous to that, the Galaxy Nexus, was really slow and laggy after a while. That would get re-started frequently.

Interesting, a little question on longetivity, have you noticed any battery performance decrease?

I play Pokemon Go on my way to and from work, so it's quite hard to judge as that will drain up to 50% of my battery per hour.

 

On days when i don't play Pokemon the phone will still last a normal days usage perfectly fine, however when the phone was new could often get two days out of it.

 

Android 4.4.4 seemed a lot more battery friendly on this phone than 5.0 and beyond. I did notice quite an impact once the 5.0 upgrade was pushed out.

 

These days more than anything I think Google Play Services are responsible for quite a bit of battery drain, when randomly looking at the battery usage at the end of a day that's always on 15-20%.

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue.

    • Text extractor hasn't been working great on 0.99.1 but I am now updating to this version, hopefully it's better!
    • Yet you did exactly what they wanted you to do - is it better now without "Europrats"? BTW, UK had joined EU (EEC back then) and was one of the leading member states, it never joined Schengen Zone though 😉
