  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Persevered with an iPhone 5 for 3 years - and I'm an Apple fan.  But flat battery by lunchtime forces me to look at the other side.  

I travel and extended battery life is everything to me.

 

Anyone here road tested a Xperia with the long life battery claims?

 

Thanks

I'm only a newbie in the Apple sphere and I've got an iPhone 6 and the battery life is sensational - far superior to anything I've used before (mainly Blackberry).

At the time of purchase, they told me that the extended battery life on the 6 was one of the big improvements from the 5, so it might be worth checking out.

My phone gets heavy usage at certain times during work and the 6 has always come through - battery almost always lasts through the day. 

It's a quick re-charge too, which is beneficial if you're on the road and only have a small window of time to juice it up again.

Definitely true... I went from on iPhone 5 to an iPhone 6 and the battery life is now so much better.  If you like the Apples interface and OS and battery life is the deciding factor to you wanting to change, then I would definitely upgrade to an iPhone 6 if I were you, radar.

I am an Apple fan - iPhone 3 for 3 years and i5 past three. I don't stream , don't face book, rarely watch you tube and never play games. 

I hammer Viber, Wattsapp, Wechat though. 

I can reach zero from full charge in 3 1/2 hours. Genius Bar tell me that's "within specification".

 

They've updated iOS, factory reset it, replaced the battery and replaced the phone. 

No good. 

I recently read an article online - 34 ways to improve iPhone Battery life. I implemented all 34, turning off things I did not even know existed like saying "Hey SIRI". 

34 modifications, new LOW POWER MODE SETTING - and no difference. Maybe four hours. 

My nephew and mate both report high battery usage on iPhone 6. 

The Guardian review says "Great phone but rubbish battery." Thanks for your comments but I really worry the 6 will let me down. 

From reviews the 6 Plus seems better than the 6. Do you guys have the 6, 6S or Plus?  

I have a MacBook, not keen on learning an android but the quoted 2 day battery life on the is tempting. 

Thanks

Switched from iPhone to a Huawei.

 

5.5 inch screen, 32 hours over a day and a half (ok 8 hours sleep) and $299 from Harvey Norman.  

 

Looks like a 6s Plus.  Everyone thinks I've got an apple.

 

 Thousand bucks cheaper, got the big screen, excellent battery life and i'm learning Android.

 

Back in Australia, Nice people at Genius Bar replaced my 3 year old iPhone 5 After I bought the Huawei.

 

Makes the iPhone a nice spare traveler.

 

Incidentally - punished the new iPhone 5 today.  100 % to zero.  Three and a half hours.

 

Not expecting a free replacement from Huawei in three years if I've got issues.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
