"Use the Android task manager to kill off unwanted apps."
Never do that in android 2.2 and above,doing this kills more battery.Android has a very optimised way of handling processes so its a waste.

I do use multitasking always so killing task every time and start it again is a waste of time. I'm just habituated with multitasking.

Got the phone this week,

I'm using Advance Task Manager with Auto Kill,Regular Kill, Kill Notice Enable, Is it bad for phone's battery health ?

As well using Battery Solo widget, Is that bad too ?

I don't use any widget which need to fetch info from the Internet which are battery eater I believe (correct me),as well phone's data connection is off and network mode is GSM and background account sync is off,other communication stuff is also off (BT/WiFI/GPS).Screen Brightness control via Power control widget.

Hope I'm in the right path to saving battery.

Anything else pls let me know,Noob here in Andriod.

Anyone tried to upgrade the firmware via Kiss, there is already one available....
Tried by myself but it stuck in the middle when my phone screen says "Downloading......Do not Turn of the Target", thought the phone got bricked, but later removing the battery and re-install phone successfully boot up.

Thank God.....

Below the screen shot of the firmware, If any one got success please post here.

^^^Thanks for the confirmation guys, Thought I got a defective piece....It seems problem lies on the KIES itself.

Anyhow I'm thankful to Samsung (or Andriod ?) that my phone not bricked and I'm able to use it as normal as earlier.

Try ODIN to update the firmware,search XDA for more details.KIES is a piece of crap released by samsung.

Hey Guys,

Galaxy Y is selling for 5k INR in my locality after New Year Discounts (in Poorvika Mobiles). Does this offer exist in your city too?
I think Galaxy Y for 5k is great deal. What about you?
