Short answer : No.

Long answer is somewhere on XDA but I condense it: Google changed Android from 2.x where you could move apps to SD easily, to disallow this in 4.x. You need to be rooted to do it and fool the OS into thinking it's reading from internal storage.

Congrats to mudkipryan for the official thread.

Hi guys
Just saw this:

http://www.gsmarena.com/stmicro_and_ericss...e-news-5727.php

The company making the CPU for the S3 mini has been dissolved.

However, it won't impact your use of the phone since it is Samsung that stands behind your support

Just that you'll probably not have as much choice in custom ROMs.

See my sig and read the link on rooting.

My write up is for the Note 2, but I'm certain a lot of the basic information applies across all Android devices.

mudkipryan94 may put up in his post but I will request that I be acknowledged as the author, or he may link directly to my post 4.

For apps, see post 7 on Note 2 thread.

I also recommend Galaxy S, SII and S3 thread page 1 they have a lot of links to lots of apps.

Others have to help since I keep my lock screen simple

Wah....9 to 5 on the dot???

See mydragoon's response. However, even though the charger can output more amps, your phone's charging circuit needs to be able to suck it in as well. If the phone's circuitry limits incoming current to, say, 0.7A or 1.0A, getting a higher A charger will not help.

Interesting. Master sklchan has also said not to let Li Ion batteries drop below 10%.

I do not know, as no manufacturer has actually published a good, clear guide on how to treat batteries. Almost all the material are from places like what you've been posting, and even in published work on solar charging, they do not provide extensive detail on Li-ions.

Anyway, as long as your battery can last you 1 whole day of normal use, there is no need to worry. The NovaThor CPU is supposed to be the best power-to-watt ratio device among the current generation of CPUs.

TS, you should have added girl83 as well right, since he/she's obviously an owner.....

If you read my writeup, I did say RAM is like your work desk. The logic is that a cluttered desk makes you less productive

However, in Android, especially 4.x, it's supposed to handle clutter/garbage collection very well, so you can just use your phone without worrying about free RAM. 1gb RAM is considered adequate for low to mid usage scenarios, since you won't be opening 2 apps like the Note 2/S3 Multiwindow.

Slowness in games is due to the GPU not being powerful enough, and not entirely due to insufficient RAM.

Installing of apps does not automatically mean it will mess with your available RAM. Installed apps only consume storage (your drawers). However if the installed app needs to stay alive in RAM to function (eg Viber, Skype, Whatsapp, FB, Gmail etc) then every such installed app will consume a bit of RAM.

If you have plenty such apps, then your available RAM will go down and whenever you startup your phone it will take time since each of these apps have to take time to start.

There is no comparison with Note 2 because it has 2gb of RAM

My free RAM is 600mb.

BTW due to some reserved RAM use by the core system, you will never see all of your 1gb as "total RAM". It will be usually 750mb-800mb.

Wechat is an app from a Chinese company. They had (still have?) some privacy issues a few months ago. IMHO, I think Chinese programmers do not code very well for commercial apps but they seem to code very well for malware and hacker type programs They did get 1st or 2nd place in the recent global supercomputing programming competition.

I'm told that wechat has lots of females available for chat-ups. Perhaps you too are a participant?

Yes you are right. girl83 shows up in the last few days quite actively. miloy2k and his tag LOL

Well at least he/she is asking politely.

Yes bro

For statements like this, be sure to back your claims with a source, and the source has to be credible as well.

Having said that, task killers have been shown to be unnecessary, but it does not "damage" your phone. If you have a source that can prove damage, please share it.

People can say whatever they want on the Internet. Whether what they've said is actually true or not .... maybe he had some bad luck and his phone was just waiting to die....

I know you're 14, so start thinking a bit more. It will be beneficial to you.

Well I've read those few articles that support why you don't need task killers, but they never did say outright that it will damage the device. For most things, opinions are fine but should not be taken as gospel truth unless proven true.

Yesssss

No.

See my sig.
