Big Boss Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 So save some money and buy a mid-range phone. (Around 12-13k) Hmmm lets see. I might go for high end in case my current phone fails. Its still going strong. I was looking for a cheap Android phone to tinker around with. Maybe I will be patient and get Nexus Prime once it launches and gets somewhat affordable. We are looking at 30-35k for now, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shantz Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Noob question: Are there any phones in the market that can upgrade to Andriod OS directly instead of waiting for device manufacturers? If yes then which are the cheapest? Buy one from nexus series.. Nexus S is quite cheap these days.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And probably a two month wait after launch. Or +37k for import. Those who are recommending Nexus S as a "cheap" phone> 19k is cheap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indusporus Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 hey guys, I've a xperia x10 mobile and ever since I've upgraded to 2.3, I'm facing problem with the browser. every time I switch between browser and any other app, web pages reload again. It's eating my data usage and also, quite annoying. I've checked the settings and there's nothing related to this. anyone else having a similar problem??

I started having this problem after OS 2.2. Its related to automatic memory freeing (so we dont need to use task killer) crap which kills the browser. I dont think there is any "working" solution. Try clearing the cache from Setting> Application.
