My device is slow and I am bored. Do others have the same feeling? I have attempted to shut down and start again it is still so slow. What else can I do? Is there something which can be set or an application which is specialized in this? I would be glad if I get a little assistance.

There are a few Android productivity apps that I have been using in the recent past and I need more. So, do you know good ones? I’ve used both Todoist and Evernote, but they are not what I am looking for. Perhaps, there should be an application with an easy to understand layout. Thanks in advance.

I have been using this Samsung phone for almost 5 years and there has been no major issues so far but recently I have started experiencing this wifi issue. It frequently gets disconnected. No, it is not related to my internet connection. Wifi on my phone gets disconnected even when the internet is working on my laptop. I have checked setting and I do not see any issues.

I was composing a message and the phone got stuck when I was about to select the recipients. (Wanted to group send message so that’s why I was not answering directly.) After waiting for a while the phone was still not responding then I forced to shut down and turned it on again. Okay I again edited the same text and tap to choose receivers. Good grief! NO CONTACTS! EMPTY! Why? What happened? I first tried to sync Gmail contacts back to my Sony Xperia, however when I logged in to Gmail and it was the same! NO CONTACTS! Long story short, I finally found Myjad Android Contact Recovery which seems to be useful because I want simply the contacts. So is there anyone tried…

Hi, I am trying to find if there are any well known benchmark tools which developers use. I am interested to know the basic metrics such as CPU utilization, memory consumption, 2D,3D graphics performance (of the device not the application) etc. I came across tools like Quadrant (which gives me a relative score compared to Android devices in the market) and Benchmark. But I am not sure if these are the popular tools. I read reviews both for and against its credibility. I am looking for tools which gives me results which would be useful enough for someone who may not be familiar with Android Are there any standard benchmarking tools that is used?

They have a massive range of comic books too, like Superman, Spider-man, X-Men, Manga, Anime, anything. They also have a good range of newspapers, so I get the NY Times on my tab. The format is actually really good and all the downloads are free. Anyway, I'm not trying to spam this forum or anything. This is an honest review that I thought I would share. I encoura…
