Hello,
I am computer literate, but fairly new to the world of smartphones, so please
forgive me if my questions appear trivial. Also, I am not sure if I have
posted this in the right place on the Forum, please let me know if I have
got it wrong.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 model SM-G900F running Android v 5.0.
I am a relatively light user, and really don't generally need or wish
to access the internet from my mobile, so I have a low-cost contract
that allows me just 100MB of data per month. Now, when I started using the
phone mobile connection to internet was enabled. I tried the Help app
and found a lot of very useful info there, but did not realise that it was
all coming from the internet. In no time at all I had inadvertently used up
my 100MB allowance, and since then I have kept mobile data access turned off.
So my first question:
Is there a way that I can the Help info, ie User Guide, Useful Tips,
permanently on the phone so that I can get to them when offline?
There is plenty of memory capacity, so that would not be an issue.
On my PC I have also signed up for 2 or 3 mobile facilities (eg Kaspersky security),
and suspect that as soon as I enable data access next month they will automatically
download, which will gobble up my data allowance again.
So here is a related question:
Access to the internet on my Windows PC comes effectively for free.
It seems to me that I ought to be able to download new apps to my PC,
and then transfer them to the phone over the USB cable.
Is this possible ?
Many thanks, Ken.
