CCleaner is pretty nice on Windows, but thoroughly unnecessary for most users. As for Android, it might be a bit more helpful, given that some apps seem to have a problem with their cache and their usage. (On Windows Phone, the operating system can always nuke the cache of anything.) Quote:
If anything, I've tried out the Nokia Lumia 930 itself yesterday, and... Oh my. This is what I've been missing? |

How much is the 930? I might nab it once I move back to West Coast and get a job. |

Boy does this 40" TV bleed. It's like everything was given a drop shadow or something. >_>

oh my god I couldn't help but burst out laughing. sorry xD I think the likely culprit is that I have it scaled 5% down because for some reason it naturally cuts off the edges of the screen. With that comes black boxes on the left and right, and I imagine that's because its reported 1080p resolution is smaller than it could actually handle, or something. I'm fairly certain it's a liquid crystal display in all honesty |

If she's using an Android device with I believe 4.0 or higher, you go to Settings > Security, then click on the box that says Unknown Sources. Then just find an older APK (Google is your best friend), download and install. Anything older than 4.x, you go Settings > Applications and do it from there. Quote:

I dunno how much the L90 is in the states, I'm talking strictly about Euros. And when I meant launcher, I meant LG's take on the Android rom, which is technically speaking the best one after stock/Motorola's, when talking about the big 3 manufactuers(LG>Sony>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Samsung). But otherwise, yeah I use Nova Pro on my Mini, and it runs like a dream. And does downgrading really bypass the messenger issue? Cause I have like 512MB internal for apps, and Messenger+Facebook takes up like 100MB together. I can just uninstall updates, go to Version 14 automatically, and save my phone from a lot of memory.
|
Why on earth do apps take up ten times their PC equivalents? What would a social media app and messenger possibly need a tenth of a gigabyte for? o_O
|
You know I have no idea. When I first saw that Facebook takes up 60 megabytes, I was flabergasted. And now that they have messenger mandatory, and I had to use another 50 megabytes, I think its really all part of a plan for them to control our phones.
|
It's like they half expect things to be, like, you know, stored in infinite space.
Speaking of space and wastage, I've been thinking about software "bloat". I put "bloat" in quotation marks because, well, when you think about it... even though people might use only 10% of the features that come with a given software package, said 10% is likely to be very different from individual to individual. Try to create a "leaner" version of said software package with exactly 10% of features of the original, and more likely than not you'd end up with a useless app. (Or why I tend to stick with the big fat stuff. When you suddenly find yourself needing that one feature, you're stuck otherwise.) |
Its like my phone. I have the old Play now from SE which is defunct, the old Track ID which is defunct, some ******** carrier stuff like recommended apps, games, stuff like that. If I had a PC at home I can root the phone, get all that uninistalled, uninstall the browser, and then I'd have a good 50 mb free as well.

Also yeah, downgrading removes the need for messenger entirely. The link I posted in my last post should be able to help you, assuming you can install unknown sources and whatnot. Quote:

Oh, speaking of phone bloats, sometimes I'm not sure if my old phone can keep up with each Google Play market (automatic) updates, since they eat my phone memory to the point that I almost lost all of my poor outdated phone's memory. It's not quite bloatware at first, but still.

(When it comes to the low-end, your best bet might be to get a Windows Phone and a microSDHC card for apps and other stuff. Windows Phone's support for microSD cards is extremely good, especially after 8.1.) |
So I took a plunge yesterday and got a new device...
Spoiler:
I think it was worth it though because I do like using iOS, and my previous iPod was just getting slow with apps :( the lock button on my 4th gen iPod was broken anyways, too. |
I want an iPod Touch. :P
But I suspect it'd be pretty redundant with me also having a smartphone. But these iOS apps... |

Also, it makes me worry if I did an impulse buy or not. There has been numerous speculations about a 6th generation iPod Touch coming out in a few weeks, after Apple has their large announcement next month. |
Buyer's remorse is quite possibly the worst thing to happen.
When I make purchasing decisions, I try to make it so that I only about what the device can do for me right now. |
