lincolnola: pls i need more steps onthis subject,im not getting underground data in the account & sync section.do i need to root my n7 tecno b4 i will be able to see that? pls help me

Of course you don't expect to see "Background Data" on N7 cos it runs on os 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The tips above is meant for 2.3 Gingerbread, but you can follow same steps. On ACCOUNT & SYNC, look for other menu that's related to BACKROUND DATA.
You must not root your phone in order to disable background applications.

Am sorry you're having such problems with your N3. Check your phone for wrong rooting. You can try hard reset or format. Also make sure you reserve atleast 50MB space on your internal memory for better performance of your device.
Kizyte, nice job. N3 has bn enjoying lots of positive reviews. Are you an N3 user? I learnt user available space is about 175MB and will limit performance of apps running/runable, irrespective of rooting/no rooting and SD card. Kindly clarify what exactly obtains; how much can a regular/average user achieve with this 175MB 'gag'? Tnx.

If N3 was running ICS what and what'd be the additional benefits/ impact? Kindly throw light. Tnx.

175 MB of internal storage capacity is the only disadvantage in the Tecno N3 but you can still get more out of it by partitioning your SD Card and using 'Link2SD' application.
NB: Link2SD cannot work without rooting your phone.

4.0 is an upgrade of 2.3. It's obvious, ICS has a better android user-interface, good functionality etc. (Just like comparing Windows7 & Vista).

Do u consider the "more out of it. . " enough for a regular or average user. Or do u think even after rooting and partitioning, it still leaves a lot to be desired like wrt running indispensable apps. Tnx 4 d quick reply. (Sorry 4 slightly going off topic)

Rooting should boost its performance and stop hanging. Remember it'll void your 13mths waranty. Have you resolved most of what you were complaining about, or was it only hanging that was the problem with your N3?

I used to have the problem of 'Low Memory' on my N3 but after partitioning my 8GB Memory Card and linking all applications to my SD using 'Link2SD, I'm now able to install as many applications as possible, especially bigger size apps like Merriam-Webster Dictionary (21MB), Angry Bird (27MB), Quick Office (12MB), Real Player (11MB), Fruit Ninja (18MB) etc. and about to download PES 2012 which is 200+ MB.
But you can save yourself the stress of partitioning your SD Card by purchasing Tecno N7.

1- Install and open application.
2- You'll be prompted to install Ministro from Play Store.
3- Install & open Ministro
4- Wait until Ministro installs all components.
5- Open "Poot" that you initially installed
6- Select the first option "poot" to root your phone.

Your phone will go off and cannot be switched on.
Remove your battery & put it back, then switch on your phone and you're done!

ENJOY!

The best way to save data is don't use your phone
to browse
To save great deal of data depends upon the browser you re using,turning off sync, saves battery and renders email syncing idle,
Every smartphones be it andriod or ios based platform comes with stock browser, these stock browser ate up data, including HD,Mozilla firefox,Skyfire,UC browser re culprits,
I strongly recommend opera browser 12, upon download from playstore, tap the opera symbol, from the dialog box switch on the off road mode, and see how it squeezes out excess data, you could have consumed. Could you imagine saving 90% of 100MB.
2 The greatest means to save data, is to turn off image, for example, when visiting sites like nairaland or any other,Next don't ever visit porn sites, they are data guzzlers.

Android users could still enjoy same benefit as BlackBerry users. Subscribe to Airtel Blackberry Social (Somonth), it works fine on all device without any special settings.
