If you can find Explorer so cheap and it also comes with a slightly better processor (don't go by clockspeed here) then its a definite buy.

only negative points in case of Explorer are: Sense UI is really heavy and this eats up internal memory (not ram, ram is plenty). also no autofocus in camera. lastly, the bootloader is locked so unless your friend want to try custom rom, he needn't worry about this.

This might help you?

BTW my Android had an option to download an official xvid app. Haven't got it yet but it's there. I use Lg Optimus Net Dual sim.

About bootloader, it might not be a problem, since HTC serially unlocking all its bootloader

I already did that using Titanium backup, then 30 MB was free. But now cache and data generated and is eating up 14 MB from the precious phone memory. I clear it up, its fine for few days but its back again. Cant I just move the cache location for apps to SD card?
Is your phone rooted? Do you have CWM? If yes, it will have option to partition your SD card and then that Ext4 partition can be used for 'Data' partition of your device. You will need App2SD/Data2SD script, which will move all apps, cache and data files to that partition but it will still appear as internal memory. :)

I am having a slight problem with my Optimus Net dual SIM running Android 2.3.4

The problem isthat uninstalling apps doesnt free phpne memory. i had a total of 50mb used in phone memory. then I deleted a 8 mb app stored entirely on phone. but that didnt seem to have any impact on memory usage :(
There was neither memory freed up or used up :mad:

^^ Two possibilities:

1. The app was already on card.
2. Cache memory is not empty.

If your phone is rooted, try cleaning cache, by CacheCleaner NG.

isn't that for all devices running on android?

yes. if service center finds out that your mobile was bricked cause of trying some unofficial way of doing stuff, then no warranty but you can always give them the excuse of you trying to update using their PC suite (which sucks always & mess things up). but in case of HTC, even to try rooting you must sign a petition that you won't claim warranty in case mobile stops working. i don't know the detailed terms but its something like that. Same for many others also, like Asus if i remember.

Yes its rooted, I found a batch function in titanium backup-clear cache it helped a lot now its 24/160. No annoying notifications, is your method safe? I already had near brick experience once, cannot risk it! :confused:

Not more than 500kb, IMO.

It takes me ~10 mb, for both fb and twitter. I open lots of images in fb.

A question - Is it ok to keep data enabled all the time? I am not concerned about battery life, does this reduce handset life? Its just enabled and there is no send-receive activity.

I keep the data enabled 24 hours. For me being connected all the time was the primary reason for buying an Android phone.
And I don't think it has any impact on its "life".
Data works on your regular network signals. So IMO to the phone to use data it doesn't have to incur any special resources..
So cheers... :)
