Don't kid yourself, that memory goes fast! Hardware suggestion: Get the biggest SD card you can, and make sure your camera dumps pictures and video to it. 1) It will save space on you phone and 2) it will make it much easier to transfer all your photos to your new phone when you get it. Also, go to the App manager and have each program save all the Saved Data to the SD. Same 2 reasons.
@Cyber Liberty Yeah, already there. Got a 64g in it, and hoping it will take a 128... Kinda incidental in the end, because it is going to be backing to my ftp server once I get all that pounded out (@xx:xx pm IF wiffy, and especially IF LAN[home])... I am a data freak and I already know all about the need to back it up. My ftp folders equalize into my data backup, so pics for instance, will automagically just hit my main store... same music and vid...
Once I can hack the thing, I will get to where anything over a month or two old will automatically delete after backup. So I won't be packing the thing full of pics, music, and vids.
But I am very serious that I won't endanger mem/storage limits. I hate TSRs (being a tech for a couple decades now) and keep extremely organized storage. If I don't use it, it won't be on that phone for long.
Once you get settled into the body of DL apps you like, it's easy to get them into your new phone. In the Play Store (where you get the apps), there is a place called "My Apps and Games." You can install them en mass on your new phone, which beats looking for them all over again. When you first get the new phone, be sure and log into your Gmail account, it uses that to tie all your apps to you. It will import all your contacts, and restore all your text conversations too.
YEP... Already been there done all that... it is currently being treated as volatile, so no data onboard.. I have messed it up bad enough that I am quite familiarized with the reset procedures.
Added: check out one of the "Compass" apps. They're cool. There are some flashlight apps that use the flash LED too.
Thanks, I will check that out. I mentioned upthread that I am using the cam as magnifier, and man is that a neat trick.
