  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

I have a weird thing happen to me.

So, my phone (A ZTE Blade) used to be always hot (like 50 Celsius) and the battery life was measured in minutes( about 30 minutes). I had to keep in plugged into my charger all day long, so I don't miss important calls.

Then one day my Google account was banned(no idea how) .
This messed up my Youtube favorites and stuff, but nothing much else.

Instead, my phone recovered and is now running cold, while battery life became measured in days (3 days).

There's an annoying app (Google play or such) demanding petulantly that I make a Google account and connect my phone to it, but yeah. Not gonna happen.
 
Google is assuming your identity. They know you now. Soon they will wear your skin. :eek:
 
Some people (with tech background) suggested I have some sort of virus or malicious app that mines bitcoins, thus using the phones' battery. I just smiled.
A virus that needs me logged into Google to work?
