Had the iPhone 3GS. It found its way into a cup of beer. Needless to say, I had the option to upgrade to the iPhone 4. I passed on that to get the Samsung Captivate. Just got it today. I know nothing about Android and need some help adjusting!
I just got my contacts synced through my GMAIL account. I honestly am not really sure how I even did that, but they seemed to just showed up. That's how newbie I am. LOL
With that said, a few questions:
1) Can someone explain where things get backed up on this phone. For example, on the iPhone all apps get saved in iTunes and all contacts get saved in Address Book. Where do apps from the Market get stored?
2) I have a Mac. I plug the USB into the computer, but I don't see my device on the mac. Why not? How can I get my Mp3's into this phone? Perhaps any movies I have on my mac into the phone?
3) There are a lot of things running in the background. Are any of them important? Which ones do I not want to stop and which ones can I safely stop?
4) If I download something from the Android Market, where does it get saved on the phone? IE. I downloaded the voice app that is need for Google Maps Navigation, it works, but I don't see anything physical on my phone. I don't even see that I have a history of ever downloading it.
I'm sure I have other questions, but I would be immensely appreciative if some you Android Veterans would help an aimless newbie out!
TIA!
