S3 mini comes with super AMOLED display. If you have liking for this, opt for S3 mini. Also check the amount of internal memory in each model. This is market specific. If the cost difference is not much, I would opt for Ace3 for the simple reason that it is newer model. Rohan | |

I am not on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Try to be as anonymous as I can. Are you aware that Mr. Nilekani has written a white paper for the govt. where he has recommended that private companies collect Aadhar / UUID related data (transactions). He further recommends that the govt. and other private companies should purchase this data for their use (in sales / marketing and other nefarious activities - you fill in the blanks). I had a heart attack when I read this in the newspaper. Of all people, a luminary from the IT field, who should be sensitive to privacy and security of data instead advocating wholesale abuse of private personal data. Lost all my respect for the man right then. Needless to say I have not signed up for Aadhar (yet...). Samurai, you and I are the only ones who've commented on this. The fact that nobody else has is the scariest part for me :( | ||

What you do win is a number of calls from pesky call centers. These guys sell info. Infact when we were getting a website built for a friend's company, we were told that we can get this data for a particular amount. Ranging from 1 lakh to up 20 lakhs for a list of 1 lakh high end consumers with proper working phone numbers and email id's. That is scary!! Infact even these car showrooms sell customer information. I was really pissed off when an idiot called me telling me about different investment schemes and then ending it with the fact that I bought a so and so car on so and so date on so and so financial terms and I should investing in his finance schemes!! ![]() Oh we've gone OT on that!! Well coming back to Android phones and their tracking abilities, we still have certain control over the tracking. I have switched off all location services on the phone. I don't allow google or any other app to have access to my location. But then the day is not far when our stupid govt. makes it mandatory to track each and every individual in the name of law and order. Any thing goes in the name of law and order. And then the general public suffers! Last edited by navpreet318 : 18th September 2013 at 15:05. | |

| ![]() I've installed the application "Applock" to prevent my daughter from installing new apps/games from playstore. I've restrcted the play store in the applock settings. When anyone tries to go to playstore, it asks the pin. But, I still see her installing games/apps. When I checked the tab ( Samsung tab 2), I didn't find the applock application itself. She might have un installed the applock application itself. Now, the question is how did she uninstall the applock application itself when I restricted the same in the installation/uninstallation settings of applock ? Thanks.

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Just received OTA update on my HTC One X - Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5.0! Good job HTC!! ![]() While Indian One X users are still waiting for the OTA, HTC started pushing the update to their European sold phones. (Mine is European, bought via ebay.in) ![]() Initial Impressions: - Phone has become much much responsive and faster. - Sense 5.0 looks good, feels good. Samsung Touchwiz will look primitive in front of new Sense versions. Touchwiz is nothing to write home about anyway ![]() - Camera update with AE and AF locks. Loving it as a photographer - Better lockscreen & unlocking - Better dialer - First time Sense feels as smooth as Stock Android. It was the case with some previous custom Sense ROMs like ARHD.

I know the first thought, and probably be the case also, is that its a hardware issue but on generally reading through some places, there were others who reported that it could be an issue from 4.1.1 and that a change in ROM/Update fixed it. I've been waiting for this update hoping its a software issue because I really do not want to suffer the service center. Any observations from your experience? | |

The only time I struggle to listen to the speaker is when my friend calls me from his SGS2 owing to the pathetic microphone pick up at his side. BTW, heard that the whole update is available somewhere in XDA, you might be able to flash it manually as well. Last edited by clevermax : 20th September 2013 at 11:20. | |

Lots of articles and posts around the same, you can google for "lithium-ion battery myths" ![]() | |

Li-ions preserve the charge for long periods of time while fully disconnected from a circuit, which is the reason why it is recommended to keep a Li-Ion battery at about 50% charge if you are storing it for long periods of time with no use. There's no harm in plugging in your phone to charger when the battery is down at 40% and no harm unplugging it at 75% or 80%. Do a continuous full charge-discharge-charge at least once a month or so.
