haven study king root for I while would say
though it gives you the root access it has its
own service running in background which
maybe pushing your data to their servers.
If its just meant to root your device why does
it require so many unncessary permission in
its manifest.

Here you can have a look from its decompiled
sources.

As you see it needs internet permission to
root the device , but you never know how its
been used. The question arises why does it
need to read the phone state i.e Contacts,
Camera permission i.e Photos indirectly ,
location access, reading owner Information,
read our phone logs etc. All this is sensitive
information & I wouldn't compromise my
private data to be shared. There is a lot
more which I came across but to be crisp its
not safe at all!!

Beware guys of such applications in market.
They can misuse your data in many ways.
PhonesAndroid OS In Data Usage Drains My Data Daily by Joel3(op): 1:08pm On Sep 20, 2016
I am getting tired of android os. it all look like a spy or something. the os is monitors every bits of information from my phone I think. the data draining is eating up every hour. I downloaded "my data manager" from store and I am also seeing com.sec.android.provider.downloads as the most data eating. 500mb of data plan can't last me for 3-4 days as a result of this.

I went to app manager and disabled com.sec.android.provider.downloads and it stop increase. atleast I was happy I solved one of the biggest problem but only for me to open playstore and down app of 3mb. I checked my data manager app. and saw com.sec.android.provider.downloads accumulated additional 25mb of data.

and not mentioning the android os itself. i installed no root but uninstalled immediately aa it's draining battery.

my device is not rooted and I don't want to root it.

70-80% first buyers are bloggers. they are only doing their job. They want to be the first person to give a review. which is to give a firsthand review to their followers to increased traffic.

namely.
1. The unboxing crew bloggers.
2. Samsung vs iPhone YouTube competition crew
3. YouTube funny display crew
4. and how to do it crew

the list are endless.
PhonesRumour Has It That Samsung Mobile Plans To Abandon Note 7 by Joel3(op): 10:48am On Sep 19, 2016
initially samsung plans to replace the batteries of all callback note 7 and also replaced the once in stock not yet shipped. not until government standard product and safety agencies comes in recently to overlapped or stressed the issues for samsung before any note 7 sales can begins. This is bad reputation and bad market for samsung. already samsung had made about 3 million note 7 smartphone and now rumours has it that samsung plans to skip note 7 and enter note 8 next year due to stigmatised of note 7 even if they replaced the battery.


I've now read that there will be no replacements for note 7 either users chooses another samsung products the like of s7 or get a refunds, that they're going to just abandon the Note 7 and wait until the Note 8 next year.

It is difficult for me to believe that Samsung is just going to crush and destroy 3 million Note 7s that will be perfectly good phones once the battery is replaced.
The conspiracy theorists are drinking a little too
much caffeine today, I think.

Maybe N7 parts will be refurbished into something else and probably will be suitable for African, middle east and latin America markets. but sorry to disappoint you as there ain't gonna be any more of galaxy note 7 as Samsung already threatened to bricked and shut down forever any N7 users who refused to return it. before now over 1.2 million copies had been sold.
PhonesRe: Should I Buy Samsung Galaxy S3 mini With Bad Battery For 8k by Joel3(op): 6:27pm On Sep 18, 2016
greenhulk:
Hmm. I don't know any s3 mini that was manufactured in 2014. The s5 mini is the one manufactured in 2014. I may be wrong though.
there where several other release. example this is UK version (GT-I8200N) android 4.2.2.

In March 2014, another variant of this
device (GT-I8200) was released in some
countries, with the GT-I8200N model
featuring NFC and the GT-I8200L model in
Latin America. This variant features a
different SoC ( Marvell PXA986, dual-core)
clocked at 1.2 GHz, with the Vivante
GC1000 GPU, those specs were used in the
Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 as well. The GT-I8200/N/
L variants are shipped with Android 4.2.2
Jelly Bean out of the box, as opposed to
the older GT-I8190 variant which was
shipped with 4.1.1. [7]

greenhulk:
1. Having made in china written there does not guarantee it is genuine or fake. 90% of batteries are made in china.

2. i don't think u can easily get the genuine battery unless u order online. It is a 4 year old phone and it is s3 mini which is not very popular. I don't think dealers would like to have the genuine ones in stock.

3. How do u plan to upgrade the battery to 2,500mah? How would it fit in? Well u can geet extended battery but again who would have that in stock here? Ordering online would be ur best option. When u check the stress and cost then u are better off buying another's phone, or buy 2-3 extra batteries so u can easily swap since battery is removable.
not 2012. the phone is manufactured October 2014.
