Here Drive

I upgraded Nokia Here Drive (on my 720) last week. I haven't tried the new app on the road yet, but what I noticed is that I lost the global navigation capability. For global navigation, I need to buy the license for Rs. 970. I thought it was same for all Lumias, and here came a surprise. Saw my friend's 820 got upgraded to Drive+ and was wondering why I did not get the Drive+. After a bit of googling found that Drive+ is not enabled for 520 and 720, but enabled for 620. One reason for 620 owners to rejoice! Here is more info:

Battery woes

I was on a visit to Mumbai for a week and the place I stayed had a bad network coverage. I knew that the battery would suffer in those conditions but it turned out to be worse. It was draining around 20% per hour, just sitting idle. I had this app called Insider that plots a nice battery stats and I used to check it frequently. The curve was very steep during those days and I thought I will disable the data connection for a while. Now, the Insider seems buggy that it won't plot while the data connection is off. In the picture, the battery is at 24% and the plot is stuck at 30 when I disabled the data. And it complains that the background task has been turned off. Weird.
