Are you a young person? The phone I had 14 years ago used to need charging once a week at the most, and you could get a high capacity battery that gave it three weeks standby time. Battery life on modern phones is rubbish

Got an S3 here and it's great. I use an app to shut down any apps not being used, so it saves battery.

The 4g one has upgradable memory. My daughter has 64gb in hers.[/QUOTE]
Yes but with the way that Android limits the way you can use the sd card these days unless you use it for just picture or music storage it isnt much use.

I am young but I also remember the days of phones which lasted for days but then they weren't mini computers then.Are you a young person?

SD card support on Android these days is very inconsistent dont rely on been able to use the SD card for apps.

I am also still using an S2, My first one was ruined when I was out cycling in the rain so I got a replacement on my insurance. The battery has become increasingly poor but I recently bought a new one and if I am out all day I carry a spare, but as yet I haven't actually had to use it. I have also tried a few apps that claim to preserve battery, the latest is called Battery Saver and seems quite good.
When my contract ended earlier this year I wanted to upgrade and considered the S4 mini, I would love the S5 but it would cost me at least £30 a month, probably more, but when I realised I could get a SIM only deal that easily covered my average usage for £7.50 a month I decided to take that until my S2 dies - it is still a very good phone even if it is a bit ourdated.

That's the thing that I'm considering atm, do I take the 'upgrade' via a 24 month contract, I'm currently on a sim only contract, I bought the S2 sim free in 2011, or do I keep my sim only contract (or shop about for a better deal) and buy another phone? I don't see a good reason to take the 24 month contract atm, so I'm looking to buy another phone..

Some apps can be relocated and some can't.

There is an app you can download that will transfer nearly ever app over to sd can't remember the name of it but it's in the market and free

The only apps you can't move over are ones that the developer hasn't made to be supported from the sd card
Which means it's not the phones fault or androids it's how the person who created the app didn't install this function
