^ Sony xperia l ?

 

[clickclick]

when will it be launched? and since it would be new we dont know what disadvantages it will have, and i need a phone now, cant wait for a month or so, plus i ve read it will be launched at 16.5-17.5k, that would certainly be above my budget of 15k

 

[pratyush997]

^ It should be priced around 17-18k

thanks

Not very much happy with Expense Manager looks like I have to haunt for good app.

Still the battery problem is not yet solved.

Guys any best app which can be used as timer. For example I would want it to give an alarm after some time.
It's something like for example I have kept water for heating and would want to be reminded to switch it off.

Only way to improve battery is rooting and installing one power guard.

For boosting battery life I'm using Battery Doctor app now. Is there any better?

Do u use full brightness, do u turn on GPS or WiFi or bluetooth all the time. If no then there is no need of any battery boosting app. Cause the do more or less turning off unused WiFi or Bluetooth for long time

Google still hasn't rolled out the official Play Store 4.0 updates in India. Eagerly waiting for it.

You had updated downloading a APK file which isn't same as a OTA update.

No, I didn't use an apk file to update it manually.
It was an OTA update only.

Ok. Thanks for the guys. My phone still stuck on 3.10, although the Play Store looks somewhat different now.

ok

^^Btw what is Google's OTA update policy? I mean what is the order in which they push the updates.
Is it based on device, or activation date or is it based on any other algorithm?

Guys sorry for the repost but I need to take back up of my contacts & SMS from LG Optimus Net to Galaxy Note2.
I think contacts can be backed up since I have a google account . Right?
I tried Android sync Manager and Wondershare MobileGo for Android.

You can sync using accounts and sync option in android settings itself

What about the backup of SMS?

 

[omega44-xt]

Install GoSMS & just do cloud backup

This might be a stupid question but does icon packs hog memory/RAM ?
