actually there is no point in killing tasks in Android, as it already comes with Low Memory Killer.

The free RAM that you see will be sufficient for apps because some apps that are cached will be kicked out once you launch apps.

In fact, there might be like 100MB or more free RAM available, just that Android is caching it for standby in case you relaunch your apps.

Agree. using advance task killer will only cause ur battery to drain quick. even u kill the task, a few seconds later it will run again on background. it is just like stand by and running services for the apps.

Jus brought SGW from LYN user, collect at TS there by yesterday wink.gif
The seller told me will register to 2 year SME within 2 weeks...
I just wonder does it need any warranty card to fill up or else to verify my sgw?

Oic, then how long the battery will last? icon_idea.gif

Depends on ur usage. Launcher will use more battery for its animations and effects. But not that much.

official shop usually will always sell at retail price which is rm999. unless u buy from outside then u can get cheaper...dont know why people dont want to buy from outside as its cheaper...anyway if want to claim warranty is the same anyways as u will bring back to the service center... hmm.gif perhaps its more convenient to get from official stores?  laugh.gif

people afraid of the warranty that the outside shops offer compare to official shop. nod.gif

beware the S2 now in market is I9100G, its a bit not worth if compare to the 1st batch of S2, the I9100.
that's why I refuse to get S2. T_T
XD haha. just an extra information.
*
Yes. mine is first batch non-g version. smile.gif galaxy W also performs well in my point of view. Im quiet surprise how smooth and fast it is. Worth having this. Now is there any custom roms for W?

lucky for you to get non-G version. I was saving money, half way hear about the G-version news and rush to shops ask, it was too late ... all got G. lolz

only 2 bad things about Galaxy W compare to S2.
1-low internal memory ( Really really low )
2-low rams ( really hate the ram things, said 512mb, then 150+mb reserve for OS, then in phone we saw 351mb, then within the 351mb still need to used up ram for UI and other android services, left 50-100mb only)

was wondering what the use for the 150mb+ deduct from the 512mb ?
cause witin the 351mb still used up 150-200mb for android services.
Diao. 鸡凸的。
*
Non-g only available at garage sales or second-hand. thats the only way.

Lucky we have external memor that can be used to expand it. We can always move apps and games into external storage.
As for ram, i dont worry much as i only use it for browsing, social use like whatsapp and viber and light games. What for playing high graphics games on smartphones. might as well get urself a PSP. LOL

for normal apps, can move to external sd, but for gameloft games still cannot. haha.
sometimes some apps force close and I think is due to not enough ram.
sometime i use dophin browser HD to load pages, open 2,3 tabs, scroll down reading half way it auto close.
lolz, not even pop out "force close" things, just close and UI appear. lolz.

yaya. PSP, it should be NGP. XD

waa. never encountered before. means that Galaxy W is not so good with multitasking. haizz sweat.gif If i want to play HD games or high graphics one, always have my S2. biggrin.gif but still, graphics on smartphone, cant expect much. It is just a phone. rclxms.gif
