[Q] Some Questions About Galaxy SL GT I9003 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys! I'm a newbie here and I'm also new to android fons. Jz bought a Galaxy SL and I'm lovin it. Well, I suppose everyone here loves their android fons too rite? So do I haha! So there are some questions that I wanted to ask u guys and I would reli appreciate it if any of u guys can hlp me out. Advice and suggestions would much be appreciated.
The questions are :
1.) Is it normal for my android fon to heat up a little while I charge it, playing games, and surfing the web or downloading stuffs with Wi-Fi or 3G? It's nt too hot bt it heats up.
2.) Is it necessary to switch off the fon while we want to charge it? Can I play games or surf web/dl stuffs while charging?
3.) We can customize our homescreen with lots of widgets, shortcuts, folders etc etc rite? Well, I've put some widgets on 5 pages on my homescreen(total 7 for my Galaxy SL) some of them are news, weather readers, dual-clock, power ctrl, etc etc. Will these drain more battery life and slows down my fon? I've noticed that my RAM had gone up from 245/478 to 325/478 with these widgets on my homescreen & it starts to slow down a little. And yes I seldom turn on my Wi-Fi to connect to the news or weather readers of the widgets.
4.) Is it necessary to visit the task manager(once every hour or once a day) to clear some space? I'm afraid of running out of RAM because I've had ntg running and I still can clear some data it says 4 or sometimes 7 apps closed and my RAM dropped from 303/478 to 275/478. Bt after awhile it went up to 308/478 again.
5.) Well, I have Galaxy Sl with firmware : 2.2.1, baseband : I9003DXKB2, kernel : 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1, build number : FROYO.DXKF1. When I connect to Kies it says my fon version can't be updated. Does this mean I can't update to 2.3.4 Gingerbread? Or there are no official updates yet? (This is my largest concern)
Again, I would reli appreciate it if anyone can hlp me out with these. Thx a million...

Maybe that question is better asked over at the I9003 forums (I think you're supposed to use the I9000 forums, since there's only a I9003 Dev forum, but no matching general forum) ... as a happy Optimus One P500 owner I have absolutely no opinion on this
Just ask a mod to move it over there.

Phones heat up all the time. Dont worry it wont over heat. Unless you leave it in the sun!
Yea you can add widgets and stuff..
I hope devs take more notce of the phone!!

[Q] UNI-Install those Pesky ATT Apps ....

Hi everyone..
I did some re-SEARCH on this forum and elsewhere , but couldnt find any REAL Solution to these...
(am new to these Anderiod forums and did play around with INFUSE few months and now have SGH-i717 NOTE - rooted and unlocked - thanks to this forum)
FOR ATT NOTE::
a) REMOVE/STOP/FREEZE.... those pesky ATT APPS
I do have a PRO version to Tititinium and can freeze these apps eg MY ATT, ATT MY FAMILY etc LIVE TV etc ... but I also see that THESE still create lots of 'services/process' at HARD/COLD BOOT time .....thus 'slows down' this beast
IS THEE A WAY to DELETE - UNINSTALL these apps??
b) WIFI SHARING
How can I make this PROCESS start ONLY WHEN I WANT IT ?
( now its always running in background thus taking a LOT OF BATTERY.....)
just a FYI....
Running from the 'std ATTROM' ( also did simialr exercise on Sasung Infuse) I am able to make MAX USE of my BATTERY !! After I used these and few other tips/tricks I could use my INFUSE for two+ days (48hr+) with constant talk/data and still have 15-10% battery left ...
Now I got this shiny beast - currently stock std - it seems 'slower' than my moded INFUSE soo thus these few things...
Thanks in advance for any help ... and thanks to all those clever helpfull pple ! you guys ROCK ! ,,,
Cheers

[Q] Lost Android Need Help in blocking the accounts on it...

Hi,
I lost my android mobile HTC Wildfire A3333 running CM7.2
I want to block access of my google account, facebook account, Whatsapp on the mobile from misusing.
Can anyone please help me out???
just change the password for the accounts then they are useless for everybody who does not know the new password
for the future there is an app wich could have helped you out:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5hdmlyYS5hbmRyb2lkIl0.
if ure using the app ure able to lock it from distance ure able to let it ring all the time and ure able to locate it
i think a bit more things but this are the functions wich are really important
So as i lost my HTC Wildfire, i am planning to buy a new phone and thinking about Samsung Galaxy S Advance (not Galaxy S Plus because it lacks in LED flash).
Looked for Sony Xperia Sola but it lacks a front cam (not even VGA)
Can you guys please suggest me any other phones with same/better features in the same budget???
Alassss bought a new Samsung Galaxy S II I9100

1. Yes, tethering is possible
2. Which soft keys? I believe there is a mod for that, you may also download an app at the market for that
3. It would last more or less around 10 hours

Samsung Galaxy Ace s5830/C/M/i/S5839i was not basically designed for semi/demanding graphical performances due to legacy specification such as poor 832 MHz Broadcom BCM21553, ARMv6 CPU and most of all VideoCore IV GPU, 384 MB RAM (accessible: 278 MB), which clearly is self explanatory mate .
although you have a good chance with this confirmed list , which does not require rooting . For semi heavy HD confirmed games which categorized under chainfire 3d , you need to install this application with some plugin from google play store (rooting is required > very easy flashing process from stock or CWM recovery) .
As you mentioned earlier candy crush saga series are incompatible with S5830i and the latest official android version for your phone is 2.3.6/kernel version 2.6.35.7 , but you can root it and install some cool custom mod such as CM11 for Cooperve5830i ( some minor bugs+so many benefits involved/stable version included) .
for chainfire 3d/plugins and texture resizing technique and guidelines simply use the search engine of our site ,i,e search result
just a side note though, do not expect miracle from this app Chainfire 3d is an application that acts between the game and the processor/GPU. The reason being lagging of HD games is that, processors cannot process this much HD graphics from the game. So the processor/GPU becomes overloaded and will become a hang or slow performance. What ChainFire 3d do is, it captures the graphics of the game, then convert it to a low quality and then sent it to the processor/GPU. Now the processor can handle it mate.
Hi,
Can you please help me with the link.
And Also I want to upgrade in to jellybean. I have downloaded Odin but I am not aware how to do it. Can you please explain how to do it in detail..Bit confused with all the Tutorials.

@2wordsdlife, which part was confusing mate? If you are referring to chainfire 3d, You can always find more comprehensive tutorials through search ability embedded into xda forum.
looking for an Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean update from Samsung, you are wasting your time ( don't be confused with some custom mod, they are modifying build.prop to bring some selected stuff into your poor device. In reality the latest official Android version,was 2.3.6 Gingerbread for s5830i).
This post is a good place to concentrate your effort. If need more advice on custom roms,custom kernels, read our related discussion topics on popular mods,also search developer section of this sub forum for kernels,mods,etc,,etc,,
You don't need odin for installing cm 11, just go to Google or xda search and type cm 11 for s5830i, but its complicated. Second solution is to download an armv6 version and use chainfire with root, you will get playable fps
