    YouTube issue (Afrihost)

    I'm not sure if this is from my side (browser extension maybe or what), but this happened the other day when trying to access YouTube. And now again I can't seem to access YouTube: Any ideas? Seems to work on my phone, so maybe it's some extension. Edit: Now it is working again with no change...

    Afrihost airmobile (legacy sim) battery draining

    Yes, I charged to 80% at 04:00am yesterday, and 31 hours later I am sitting on 36% battery. Now I can again manage 2 days with 80% charge. I will only charge tonight again. Thank you all and @Afrigirl for your constant feedback.

    Afrihost airmobile (legacy sim) battery draining

    Is there any feedback on this? I can't even get a a proper day's use at all now. I got home to 20% battery remaining at around 17:30, and now I checked and it was on 1%. Back on charge.

    Afrihost airmobile (legacy sim) battery draining

    It's not the APN settings themselves, that is just the configuration used to access the internet. The issue here is to do with the IP address being assigned. Basically, the IP is not behind any firewall and your phone never sleeps because all traffic that would be blocked is now hitting your...

    Afrihost airmobile (legacy sim) battery draining

    This may seem like overkill, but I don't know what to do here. Keeping track throughout the day and not using my phone; I've done hourly measurements under different scenarious. Now 4% an hour may not sound like a lot, but if you sleep for 8 hours, that is 32% battery down while phone is idle...

    Afrihost airmobile (legacy sim) battery draining

    I am definitely worried now about my non-legacy SIM also., it's been almost two hours and I am down from 32% - 18%. Something is cooking. I will restart my phone and then put it back on charge again. Only thing I can think of is now I have data on my non-legacy number - previously it had no data.

    Afrihost airmobile (legacy sim) battery draining

    I don't know what is going on. Again, I lost 21% in 4 hours last night (while on legacy SIM APN). Now I've configured it not to use that APN, and also switched to the non-legacy SIM. Now I'm paranoid about my non-legacy one also as my battery seems like it is still draining fast - whereas it...

    Yeah, it's like I'm fine for a while, then I can see my battery going down.

    Afrihost airmobile (legacy sim) battery draining

    Thanks @Afrigirl - will see how it goes now. Sorry for giving you a headache. BTW, I do have 2 Afrihost numbers - the legacy (MTN SIM), and my number that I ported from Telkom - in case it causes any confusion.

    Afrihost airmobile (legacy sim) battery draining

    Yes, I am draining. As long as I have the afrihost APN selected on the legacy SIM, then I am draining. I have tried multiple "scenarios". Set my non-legacy SIM as my data SIM in phone all while being connected to WiFi - yip, but if the legacy SIM is turned on and the afrihost APN selected, it...

    Afrihost airmobile (legacy sim) battery draining

    I'm not sure, my battery is seemingly again going down fast. Was fine, but not so anymore. This could be placebo but I've been losing 4.5%/h while screen off - this is very high for my phone. I'm trying out my non-legacy sim now to test.

    Thank you. It has definitely made a difference.

    Afrihost airmobile (legacy sim) battery draining

    But I tested yesterday and today, unless I'm doing something wrong, when I ping the IP I just get "request timed out". But my battery is draining: I'm probably just doing something wrong though.

    Afrihost airmobile (legacy sim) battery draining

    Same, I use it for data also, but even if you are connected to wifi as long as that APN is active, you will have drain.

    Afrihost airmobile (legacy sim) battery draining

    Yip, still an issue. Tested 2 hours on myMTN APN or whatever it is, lost 1% battery in 2 hours. Currently 1 hour 20 minutes into testing using the Afrihost APN and already lost 6% battery, so no use continuing test. Did not use phone to make sure I don't drain the battery further with active use.
