    If I save my bookmarks in my Google account rather than 'local', will the bookmarks still be there if I format my phone or delete my Google account and add it again? Just want to figure out this so I don't lose my bookmarks. If that's the case then there's no need to save it in 'local' at all then.

    My phone occasionally heats up near the camera area even when i'm not using it or running anything.
