Help changing settings from phone

[okeee]

im quite new to phones, so there are some things i dont know:

-do i need to upgrade anything, how do i check it?

-can i change the start up of the phone, or at least the music?

-in polaris office, when i read a document but touch a certain point too long, it automatically wants to look up the word in dictionary. how do i disable this or just remove the dictionary?

-how do i rename applications/folders and change their icons. also i noticed that applications in folders were somehow rearranged, all of a sudden. why is that?

-what is the quickest way to exit an application?

-how do i stop the music player? there is only a pause button, no stop button.

-i want to try a new keyboard, or internet browser. can i still use the old ones if i try a new one?

-if i delete some applications i dont need, like social hub or email, can i still get them back?

-how do i make sure i use internet via wifi and not via the phone provider? its quite expensive.

You should be up to date out of the box, however you can check via settings> about phone

-can i change the start up of the phone, or at least the music?

Not without rooting i think

-in polaris office, when i read a document but touch a certain point too long, it automatically wants to look up the word in dictionary. how do i disable this or just remove the dictionary?

Not sure

-how do i rename applications/folders and change their icons. also i noticed that applications in folders were somehow rearranged, all of a sudden. why is that?

You can't rename apps as far as i know, not without rooting anyway. If you install GoLauncher etc that will allow you to install themes and change icons.

-what is the quickest way to exit an application?

Exit or kill? Press home button to exit. To kill, long press the home button and launch task manager. Many other apps are available as well.

-how do i stop the music player? there is only a pause button, no stop button.

Pause or kill it. Also you could try another app, i use DoubleTwist.

-i want to try a new keyboard, or internet browser. can i still use the old ones if i try a new one?

Yes, Go keyboard is my favourite and after trying all of tge browsers i find the stock one is the most reliable, followed by firefox.

-if i delete some applications i dont need, like social hub or email, can i still get them back?

I dont think you can anyway.

-how do i make sure i use internet via wifi and not via the phone provider? its quite expensive.

Turn wifi on, it automatically turns data off (3G)...or mine does anyway

what exactly would i need to upgrade, phone software, or android, or is that the same? yea, i checked at settings, but i have no idea if these versions need to be updated or not.

If you go into settings, about phone then click on "Software update" your phone can automatically check for software updates

The official way is kies. Desktop application for windows. Update via USB cable.
