Android Studio Not Starting jvm error code -4

So the other day I got the following message when I tried to launch Android Studio

failed to create jvm error code -4 JVM Path: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\jre If you already have a 32-bit JDK installed, define a JAVA_HOME variable in 

Solution

Go to the file studio.exe.vmoptions in your bin folder inside android studio installation (Usually it isC:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin\)
Open the above file with notepad. some times it will not be editable so give administrative permission and change the following attributes:
-Xmx512m to -Xmx256m
-XX:MaxPermSize=250m to -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
Or change:
-Xmx750m to -Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=350m to -XX:MaxPermSize=250m

I don't know the reason of why it works (would be glad if somebody could)

Which phone to buy?

It is often confusing to decide which phone to buy
Do you have to necessarily buy an expensive iphone to get a good experience Or Is there a phone in market which does not skimp on any feature and still reasonably priced. Good news is there is.

I am a normal user of phone : I use it to call, whatsapp, hangout, click photos of places I visit, play some games when free (necessarily in that order)

I found Redmi Note 3 (32 GB inbuilt memory, 3 GB RAM) to be a superb phone
1. Good battery backup
It always lasts me 2 days or more in 3G mode due to it's huge battery capacity 4000mAh.
Even more when I turn on 3G mode only when I want to surf the web on my phone. (Disclosure: At home I use Wifi to surf, cheap and fast. :) )

2. Smooth operation
The phone works smoothly (Thanks to latest Qualcomm MSM8956 Snapdragon 650 chipset clocking 2*1.8 GHz cores and 4*1.4 GHz cores). I have previously owned a Blackberry which had 2*1.2 GHz processor. So I am sure I have felt the difference between the 2 processors (I loved my Blackberry phone too just not for its okay processor).

3. Good camera
The camera pics are good. I take pics of places I visit and occasional selfie with people (people are weird! :P)
Unless you are a budding photographer who needs to shoot photos as good as DSLR camera the camera is good. If the main purpose of your phone is the camera, I would recommend buying a Nikon Camera instead of spending a bomb on buying a phone.

4. SD Card support
It is a deal breaker for me while purchasing a phone if it does not support sd card - what with my ever increasing movies and music library that comes in handy when you are travelling. Redmi note 3 supports sd card upto 256 GB along with 28 GB of phone memory available (1 sim slot, 1 sd card Or 2 sim cards if you wish to use dual sim and sacrifice sd card slot)

Currently it is available at Amazon for 11k due to festival discount offer (I bought it a month ago for 12k from Mi store but no problem :) ) If you want to buy, Please click the below link. It will take you to Amazon page where Redmi note 3 (32 GB inbuilt memory, 3 GB Ram) is available for 11k.

Hope this review helped you in making a decision on phone. Comments are welcome.
