What type of behavior have you experienced? Is it something like lag, unresponsiveness, or other apps shutting down? If that's the case, you may just need to install an app like Clean Master. It will clear your cache and get rid of leftover files from old apps. There's also Greenify which will shutdown apps after they've not been used for awhile, I use it on apps like Facebook and Instagram. Watchdog will also detect and notify any apps running in the background that use a lot of resources.Wow, great answer It started behaving odd just a day or two after I installed the SwiftKey app actually. It's nothing serious yet though, but I'll keep the factory reset in mind.
I'm not 100% sure. Usually the problems are bad apps which are typically installed onto the phone memory (which gets wiped) unless you've moved them to your SD card. The files you will want to move to keep are usually pictures, documents, and backups. If you connect your phone to your PC, I think you can scan them with Malwarebytes Antimalware or an antivirus software.If I were to move stuff from internal storage to external, would there not be a chance that any potential virus will follow along and then re-infect the phone once the memory card is inserted again?
I believe it would be highly unlikely because they're different operating systems. A malware scan or antivirus software should catch it should it happen.Also, is there a chance that android viruses can travel over to and affect my PC? (I highly doubt it but thought I might ask) Since I have this program called MotoCast which backups all my photos and videos to my pc.
I'm definitely leaning toward the S3. I just cannot justify so much more for the S4 when it's not that big of an improvement.
I don't deny the S4 is a very good phone, personally I would call it great if it was a smaller size. But is it worth $100 more than the S3? That answer is more subjective. And again because of my dislike of the size as well as the fact that I'd root it, I'm inclined to say "No" at least for myself.
I'm considering the LG G2 and the Samsung Galaxy 4 from T-mobile.
I'll use the phone mostly for talking and web surfing.
Which one is better?

I preferred the look of iOS6 but Im loving it, especially that you can now do more with your phone when its locked. The control center is greatfor those iphone users out there, just wondering what everyone thinks of ios7 so far?
which device are you using it on? Im on a new Iphone 5s and don't notice any lag. Its pretty fast and responsiveThe problem w/ ios7 is that it doesn't seem like a finalized os. There are little lags and hiccups in animations here and there. You can clearly see that on any Ipad with ios7. The new look imo is brilliant. Some icons like the stocks icon just dont make sense (imo the black icons should be grey) but i love the translucency everywhere. Hopefully they can polish it up a bit within the next few updates.
I'd opt for the G2. That phone has monster processing speed. 2.26 GHz. In terms of raw power, it's top of the line at the moment.
What phone do you have? The video problem may just be an issue with all of them.Well first off the Excel app lags a lot and sometimes stops responding, and whenever I try to watch any video recorded on the phone it lags and a lot of green pixels take up like half the screen. That's basically it but it never happened before.
Honestly, I've never looked up whether holding home and closing apps does anything since I just assumed there were better ways. Greenify is actually more for conserving battery life, it hibernates apps, it won't kill them. Clean Master will clear out the cache. So if you clear it, images have to reload when you go back to Facebook or Instagram.Isn't it enough to just hold down the home button and close down the running apps in the list that pops up? Or are they still running in the background?
Then I'd definitely recommend a factory reset. The phone will take a little while to get back to operating smoothly.And no I never did that factory reset after updating the OS on it, I was told here to do it (maybe by you?) but I never got around to it. Perhaps that could solve it.
Appearently the LG G2 has ”buried” software features and no microSD card slot.
Are these minor inconveniences or major ones?

I have a Motorola Razr Maxx.
I will look into those apps and also keep that factory reset in mind.
