4G conn. and the MUST HAVE a Smartphone-trick

 Free games for mobile phones nokia x2-01

since like 2 months ago my phone (nokia x2-01) battery discharged in anytime between 1 week and 2 days. needless to say that discharging gone faster day by day...
I was thinking to say bye-bye to my ol' good mobile phone and buy another one; but I just love my mobile phone! it still works wonderful, it still has that good quality sound on radio and phone calls, it still has a good conn. even in the basement of "my" blockhouse, it still doesn't make any interference with any other devices in my room. luckily I found a new (no second hand!) battery provided by nokia.
the new battery has same discharging rate! I switched the the old one but it still discharges in 3-4 days at most. what?
I switched back to the new battery. still the same problem.
then I remembered that I read about 4G conn. draining phone batteries like 3 times faster (!). I removed the sim-card when I charged my phone yesterday (sunday). normally my phone battery would be half drained by now. thankfully my phone battery is still full! I googled about how to deactivate internet and MMS because it's been like 6 years since I used them. it didn't occur to me to deactivate the them because my phone deactivated automatically when not used.
so apparently I MUST HAVE a 4G compatible (!) smartphone because it is said it can deactivate 4G when not used? like what? why can't my phone do it? or my GSM provider?
thankfully I don't use my sim-card that much. but when I have to use it I need people to email or message me on facebook first to settle a phone call.
I'm suspecting 4G meandering kinda odd energy bill too... #conspiracies
now: does anyone know any 2G/GSM only provider in Germany?

    I like my old mobile too, had it for 5 years. If it works, and you are happy, best to keep it.

  Tomorrow marks a month since I started my gaming challenge . It's a wonder I finished a level almost every day. I mean I played every day, with some exceptions of either having a complete network failure or playing other games that day, butI never thought it's possible to win a level on no matter which of the games you own. Keep in mind that what I screen recorded until now are pay-to-win games . It means , game companies either give you way to less bonuses to play a game with, which you have to wait and just log in every day for few days to collect bonuses for a round to play, or you pay an obscene amount of money for some extra bundles. Now I never thought I could blog about a single subject, every day, for a year. The truth is, I can't and I don't want to. My blogging challenge is an excuse to promote my photography, share some other kind of stuff completely different froom gaming and making this experience of blogging regularily. It's not difficult to blog re...

Survive at least one month quarantined

Let's make it clear from the start: it's easy for a hermit to love being alone. Unfortunatelly I read in the news or my friends post how bored people in general are because they must drink coffee at home instead in a café. Anyway, I challenged myself to blog and vlog my quarantine life for a month. Documenting my lifestyle blog 😒 Today, 15.06.2020: I sleep a lot and I am glad I discovered sleep since the corona crisis. Corona crisis hit me like " the oncoming train " and I realized I missed sleeping a lot. It also made me realize those new consumerism stuff aren't that new anymore. They recyle old themes with a horn blasting sound and dazling visual effects but there's no soul in that movie or music video; so I go back in the 70's or 80's. I actually watched any Kaurismäki film I could find on youtube (planning to order a collection of movies by Kaurismäki). I listened to old rock 'n roll songs and honestly I felt instantly better. I feel goo...

Book review: #amreading Die Musik des jenseits by Carolin Sandner

What do you do after reading series? You read  your Facebook friend 's book , because why not: the plot sounds interesting, your husband is probably a hobby music producer and you always wanted to know how some rock bands can create such mysterious music videos about sadness, drugs, hallucinations or suicide. Little spoiler alert, those musicians wrote how they felt, so next time be careful when using terms like emo  for goth or for experimental music à la Bjork , or so. If you check Carolin Sandner's Facebook profile you will see she shares great ballads from bands I only heard them once or twice, but almost never on regular music channels. I started reading Carolin Sandner's book on 13th November (no pun intended) and I read to page 34 from the start. It's a good sign, because I usually read that much in such a short time if a certain book is fast paced with a slow motion effect. Not dwelling on details, using as less words as possible to describe a scene is for...
