[QUOTE=Ins4ne;33910222]I wanna see how dat note fits in your pocket. I could only imagine it barley fitting seeing that the s2 I have fits just perfectly.[/QUOTE]

Get larger pockets, your phone takes priority.

And don't put such a device in your coat pocket or something, always put it in your pants pocket or the back. If someone jacks it, you will feel it. Since you can't feel it from your coat.

Unless you set the phone to vibrate whenever the screen is off... :v:

Back pocket is a terrible idea. If you fall down your screen will be busted. Especially since it's winter and you're likely to slip.

I've had a friend with a Galaxy S crack his screen a few weeks ago while the phone was in his back pocket. He leaned too far forward during school, while sitting on his chair :v:

this, it's a terrible idea, you're basically sitting on your phone

side pocket is much less likely to result in damage and more comfortable

Not harmful, unless you know what you're doing. The android os is not like windows where if you task kill an executive, it means the app stops. It's different on android.

In general terms, you do not need it because android doesn't a good job with management of resources and will automatically kill apps and stuff when needed.

You don't need a task killer either because android has a perfectly good one. If you blindly kill a bunch of apps, it could lag or damage your device. It would also suck up more battery.

Holy shit heart attack moment!

I just spilled hunter stew sauce all over the back of my SGS II, but luckily my casemate tough case saved it from all the damage.

Moral of the story: NEVER EAT HUNTER STEW AGAIN!

Just remember with linux, free memory is wasted memory.

[TippZ]

but its so good ill risk my sgs2

[TehWhale]

task killers are useless, instead of letting an app use 20mb of memory and just chillin in the background, you kill it after you turn the display off, using more battery than it just sitting in ram

[garychencool]

I would task kill stuff like games when I'm done playing them because some still run such as payment services and cache background apps.

Here's why, I don't want the payment process of Cut the Rope, the game to keep running in the background when I don't need it.

I just hold the back button and it shuts down the foreground app. That's what I do when I close things that I am not going to use again for a while like a game.

Anyone here have experience with buying cheap chinese tablets and if so where I should go shopping for one? I know Dealextreme has tablets but from what i've seen they aren't that good.

Thanks

There was a guy round here called Canary or something who used to deal them or something, he was the man to ask. Although as far as I know everyone had bad experiences all round and last I remember he was looking at brand name tablets.

I know, ive done that and Cut the Ropes payment process is still running. Either way, you may need to task kill apps if the coding of the commands to automatically task kill itself upon exit is not in the app.

Some apps have it, some don't.

So according to fp this fancy archos 7o andriod tablet is infact an apple device in disguise.
