[Tutorial] How to speed up your Droid

Hey guys, I recently got my droid, the Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 Android smartphone. I am using this phone since 1 week and I just got addicted to it coz I just love it, I mean its so nice and for me, its the best smartphone in the world.
One thing every android phone should be treated with, is downloading and installing App 2 SD pro. Its a nice and free app that you get from the marketplace and you can now save and install all your apps directly in your SD card. But, then also there are some apps which get stuck to the phone memory and therefore result and slowing down the device a bit. If you have downloaded App 2 SD onto you device, then have a look at this tutorial.

Step I

Open the menu and find App 2 SD icon.     
      

Step II

Open the 'Phone only' tab.
Select any app, and hold it for some time till a new window opens up and select Uninstall/ Details.

Step III

A new window will open, then select Clear data option from it.

Step IV

Now you are done, but be sure to do this procedure with every app. And if possible then restart your phone too. Comment and share my post if this was helpful.

[NOTE: PLEASE don't do this for any game if you have reached maximum level and don't want to play it again from the beginning.]

Samsung Galaxy Y and Y Pro Duos surfaces on Web

Hello readers, I am back again with an cheesy news again.

In India, after the launch of dual sim Android phones such as the Micromax Supefone lite A75 and Spice Mi350n, how can Samsung sit quiet? No, no, no don't even think so. While surfing the web I saw something interesting and wanted to share it with you. Some press releases say that, Samsung is going to launch Dual sim variants of its Galaxy Y and Y Pro budget smartphones and are gonna named as Galaxy Y Duos and Galaxy Y Pro Duos respectively. There is even a probability of these phones to release within next two months

(Jan/Feb'12). 

Specs are given below the image.

Samsung Galaxy Y Duos: -

• Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
• Same 832 Mhz Processor but with 384mb of RAM this time.
• 3.14" TFT capacitive multitouch display with same 320*240 QVGA sucking display(why samsung?)
• Dual Sim (GSM+GSM).
• 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS , as every android has.
• A 3.2MP camera at rear(last one had only 2MP). But seriously, no front facing cam.

Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos: -

• Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
• 2.6" TFT touch screen
• 832 Mhz processor.
• All standard Android stuffs I am bored writing it...
• and yes a  3.2MP camera.
• PLUS!!! a front facing camera.

Expected launch: -

Near about in Quarter 1 '2012

My Views: -

The Samsung galaxy Y S5360 was targetted mainly for the youth gen ('Y' ). And these two phones with some higher specs like dual sim and a good camera, I think are for those business folks who love a cheesy CLASS sort of phones, mainly the Galaxy Y pro duos, the qwerty version of Galaxy Y duos. Well according to me, a phone is a phone at last, and I dont think about a business or a multimedia tag under a phone. Because, if the phone has simple design it is named after BUSINESS phone. Well, its our(consumers) choice to buy which one........

Samsung Galaxy Y, a new youngster in the Android race..

Hello everyone, and thanks for all the comments I received from you in most of my last posts. 

Samsung recently launched 3 new smartphones, viz., Galaxy Y, Omnia W, and Wave 3.
But I wanted to tell you about the Galaxy Y, because it is balanced more on specs and less on price.
The Y here stands for generation youth on which it is targeted.

Priced at just Rs. 7130, this baby has a powerful 832MHz processor and 256mb of RAM. It also has a 3.0" capacitive touch screen with a QVGA resolution, which is not bad according to its price. And the main thing, it runs on the latest version of Android, i.e. 2.3.5 Gingerbread.

On the sad note, it has nothing to say. But only 2 megapixel camera may disappoint someone, but it can be easily digested if one looks on the advantages of this phone.

The screen, on the phone is extremely responsive (of course, its Samsung buddy) according to the reviews over the web. It supports all the multi touch inputs and gestures. And for the rejoice, Samsung has put its highly customizable TouchWiz 3.0 UI. But for me, LauncherPro or ADW launcher are first choice as they are much more customizable and smooth.
