Can't remember where the setting was now but it's mentioned in the forums somwhere.

ps. oh and swappolube seemed to make things much better too.
I think the autocheck only checks once a day from my understanding and not everytime it connects to the internet? Either way this drains the battery.

That is yet another huge problem is battery power. It drains the battery like crazy. Was a bit worried about using the battery patch... What about those Gold batteries which are Made in Japan and have 2680MAH?

Swappolube definately helped A LOT! Probably more than anything. It runs sooooooo much smoother and faster. At least for the time being.

Although the youtube programs load faster now they still have a lot of trouble actually playing some of the media. The only one that seems to work well is Cutetube. But it works really a lot smoother now than before!
