Hi Guys!

I hv bought it a week ago n install sm apps n games lyk AVG AntiVirus,Facebook,Angry Birds, etc. frm play store. Then aftr 3-4 days,whenever I try 2 start any app or 2 open internet , it starts giving me error msg tht ,"The app failed 2 start" or smthing lyk tht. On which I had 2 Force Stop tht app :( Aftr which d phone restarts itself!

So it's 2day tht I erase all d data of phone n mem. card n restore factory settings. Nw it's working fine. Bt m suspicious abt future problms :(

Thx 4 ur patience n 4 ur kind help.

Maybe Preloaded Junk is proving to much for your Phone.
You can root it And Remove bloatware to DeCrapify For your phone and to improve performance.
Make sure that all the non essential apps and games are installed on Sd card.
Move apps to sdcard using App2sd app from play store.

Make Sure Your Firmware+OS is Updated.

You cant Move pre installed apps to Sdcard.
Either You Can Remove them By rooting your phone or better let them where they are as long as you are comfortable with Them.

did you ran out of phone memory? cache & other temp files are save in phone memory.

Actually I dnt run out of memory n tht part is fine. I updated firmware on which it shows tht "Updates r available for Hindi n Tamil fonts..." to which I cancelled tht update.
Next thing I want 2 know tht it permanently connected online 4 certain updates of apps or othr prog. So hw do I disable tht 2 save battery life n 2 boost it's speed?

Go to Play Store.
Open Menu->Settings.
Uncheck Auto Update.
+
Disable Background Data(Account Settings) and Packet Data(Wireless Network Settings.) when you are not using Data Services.NOTE: Disabling These will not allow Email & IM Update+Any Other Apps that uses Data Service Over time will not work as intended.

Ok Guys
The service centre guy told me tht they wl replace my phone with d new Explorer. On which they give me a letter n told me tht to produce tht letter to d Phone Dealer and get ur new phone. But now I'm suspicious about Explorer and now I want to have another HTC phone. So please tell me tht can Dealer give me another HTC phone (within d same budget) instead of Explorer? If yes, then which one would u suggest? Thanks fr your replies.

Wildfire S have weak processor (even if clocked high). go for it if you want a 5MP camera. IMO Explorer camera is descent too. just flash is missing.

Unfortunately I cannot invest more than 9K. So on d other hand no other phone can match Explorer in this range. But my Explorer does not run well even for one day :( Now m confused whether shud I accept the new Explorer frm Dealer or shud I go for Samsung Android phone whithin this range?

I will still say got with Explorer. My friend had got one and is very happy with that. Infact many are happy with that. What happened with you was little unfortunate and I guess just a one off case.

Below 9K range there is Explorer and Galaxy Y. I will say Explorer. Do let us know what you are going to do :?:

Thanks,

that was a bad piece. it happens. don't worry :)
And compare a Samsung (even Ace) to your Explorer side by side. Those are some of the biggest fails in the mobile market but Samsung sell Y/Fit/Mini lot more than Explorer has been sold.

Use Custom Rom

Root Your phone.

Remove Bloatware.

Head to XDA.End of Discussion.

May 25, 2012 at 1:32 AM
^^ is that the best suggestion you have?

@a2mn2002, install BetterBatteryStats and check what is using up the battery. BTW bad battery life means how much the battery drained? i read Explorer have a small battery but the SOC is excellent one and should offer 2-3 days battery easily.

or check the battery graph thats build into the about phone section. If mobile stays awake, restart the mobile once.

Best in this case atleast.

My Friend is using Explorer for over a week now .
As usual he faced Low battery backup issue since he moved to Android from nokia E63.
2 days after Purchase he rooted and loaded a Custom Rom.Now he is more happy than he ever was.

Those Low end Android Phones owe their poor battery backup performance to Relatively Good SoCs running on comparatively weaker Battery.

Down-clocking may also help as in Case of 832Mhz Clocked Core of SGY which is barely pushed to its threshold Limits.But Explorer already has a quite low clocked 600Mhz SoC(though contextually better than SGY ) and lowering it further no act of wisdom.:)

@OP.
If you are using any active task/process killer.Remove it.They do more harm to battery performance than any good for Phones running ANDROID above 1.6.
