Galaxy Ace owners, please look here first! Great tips!!

what do you mean about not using task killers? i use it all the time, is it bad? i often encounter the flashing on my phone. the screen blinks automatically even without any notification. and i think its not good. is it?

Let android manage its own memory. Task killers kill apps that are cached (not running) which means they have to reload from scratch when called on - using more CPU and Battery! Android is not like Windows. Free ram is wasted!

I have my Galaxy Ace about 2 weeks. The 3G doesn't seem to be great and everyday I get a message saying that my incoming text messages have been rejected because of lack of storage. I can't seem to find where to change the storage options to the SD card instead of internal phone memory. PLease help!

If your phone is not rooted, then you can go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications - and press on each app. If it can be moved to SD press the button to do so. If it cant then the button will be greyed out.

The ace has a pitifully low internal storage :( If you root your phone you can use apps like Link2sd which allow you to use a partition in your SD card as internal storage.

Install something like 1 tap cache cleaner too and clear the app caches to free up some space and dont forget to delete emails / SMS etc to free up more space.

By the way look at signal in settings > about phone to see how many ASU the phone has. If its a low number 0/1/2 etc the phone doesnt have a good signal for 3g. If its high 15+ then its either your carrier (some are slower than others) or maybe a faulty phone.

Hope this helps

I don't really know where to post this so I will just put it here lol. I'm currently running cm7 just wondering if there are any newer versions or updates? My oh so knowledgeable brother seems to think that there is a cm10 for the ace but i can't find anything online :S

Don't know why this says I posted it in September when I posted it today but yeah anything?
