Hello all. Just registered & wanted to say hi. About 3 weeks ago I got my first ever android device & I am struggling big time trying to understand what I presume are very basic functions! Prior to this I was using an iPhone in addition to a half dozen other iDevices/Apple products. Yes....I'm one of those people. Over the years became accustomed to hundreds of apps from App Store & became foolishly dependent on these devices for EVERYTHING. I recently got a wild hair & decided to give Android a go. Everything I've heard from others or seen online indicates that I will love the increased freedom allowed by Android & the Google Play Store....but the only problem is - I am clueless how to work this phone! It is sooooo different...all the way down to the system terminology. I'm lost! Until recently I fancied myself as a pretty "gadget savvy" lady...but this has been a humbling experience to say the least.
Because I want my Android to do A LOT of things, I have a list of questions that grows longer each day. I would pay good money for some sort of comprehensive guide/tip/how-to book as I believe I would benefit tremendously from exposure to a detailed frame of reference...but I've only been able to educate myself through an a'la cart method of googling question by question...only to find that I don't comprehend the answers because I lack familiarity of terms! My head is starting to spin! For example....why are there 30 freakin processes running in the background that I never opened in the first place!?! Grrrr
And everybody says "get a task killer." Get a what!?! Why?!? I seek to understand the situation further! (I hope my silliness is coming across as intended
)
Anyway, I decided I would register as a member here & take advantage of the plethora of knowledge I'm sure to find. As a side note...I've never actually been a member of a forum before...so it's a year of firsts! I took care to read all the rules & guidelines so as not to be that new clueless weirdo on the forum (if it's not already too late for that!) I am looking forward to the discussions & to embracing all that my new Android has to offer.
Thank you for allowing me to introduce myself
