smartphone protection question
Comments (1)I read that one called Antivirus Free was the best (forget where I read this), so that's the one I got at the Market. I also read a recommendation to get Advanced Task Killer to kill some of the apps that run all the time to save battery life. My phone is the HTC Incredible 2 which is a 3G phone. I won't be getting 4G in my area for a long while, so this seemed a good choice for me. My main problem is my "fat" fingers which are always accidentally touching the screen and opening or moving things I don't want to. I'm still struggling with learning some of this. I finally downloaded the manual in PDF format and keep the icon for it on my desktop. The manual is 300 pages long, so printing it is out of the question. Good luck with your new phone....See MoreSmartphone Choices?? iPhone?? Droid??
Comments (17)I have an LG something, not sure what it is, apparently the latest model, and I do not like it. The screen is ginormous, and it's got all the bells and whistles, but it's taken me so long to get used to it. I have found that the battery does not last as long as my old iPhone. However, it does tend to keep apps open in the backround, so that sucks out the battery. I also find that some settings change-for example, if I turn it off, it automatically goes to silent. I have trouble setting the volume-just lots of problems. But I think it's because I haven't spent the time to learn it. I had asked DS to help me, but he's not familiar with Android systems (all my kids are iPhoners). I had an iPhone 4, and when I was ready to upgrade, there was fantastic deal on this LG, so I went with it (paid $50 for it with all the accessories thru Costco-everywhere else was over $200 even with the upgrade). All my music is on iTunes, so I can't get it on the Android-but I've heard that there is some way you can do that-just not sure how. Some day I may learn all the features, but if I knew then what I know now, I'd have stayed with my iPhone....See MoreCrossword puzzles: on paper or computer/kindle/smartphone/etc.?
Comments (18)We get a daily newspaper and it has both a cross word and a sodoku puzzle. [I do both in pencil by necessity.] Once in a while, I'll try the cross word puzzle, but most of the time, i don't get more that half way through. Our puzzle editor is too obtuse with his definitions. The sodoku puzzles are fun. In our paper, the difficulty lever begins with the easiest on Monday and then progressing to the most difficult on Saturday. I can solve the Monday thru Wednesday puzzles in reasonabe time, and then the snags begin to appear on Thursday. I can solve the Thur - Sat puzzles, but have to resort to drastic measures becasue these require guesses after the obvious numbers have been filled in. I usually don't bother with the Friday and Saturday puzzle because those are too time comsuming. I make use of the copier built inot my printer to solve the harder puzzles. After all the obvious numbers have been filled in, I lightly pencil in all possibilities in the remaining squares and then make several copies. I begin experimenting on a copy starting by circling a guess and marking out all eliminations this guess makes. If i can proceed through the entire puzzle ending with a solution, then I have guessed correctly. Most of the time, this does not happen and I must return to a nother copy and make a different guess. Continue making guesses on fresh copies until you find the solution. Hint: Start the first guess in a square that contains only 2 possibilities. If that one does not work out, then return to that square and try the other possibility. Often, this is the quickest way to find a solution. However, I have encountered puzzles where both guesses have ended in blind alleys which forces one to try a different square....See MoreSmartphone has started ...
Comments (29)"Android has a lot going for it, but Apple has got it beat, both from a technology and a software standpoint" kudzu, you've drunk too much Kool-Aid. As the family tech support person with a population of multiple iphones and Androids (and an Android user myself), my view is: 1) Hardware - clear lead to Android, the competition because of multiple producers has pushed innovation. Apple was still struggling with one active app at a time when Android phones already had multi-core processors and multitasking. 2) Software - Apple got a head start on Android (for being around first) that it's losing or already lost. Android in aggregate now outsells Iphones by more than 4 to 1, smart developers look to Android as the much larger market opportunity And beyond that, for the average user, they're mostly the same. I find Android phones much easier to set up, use and adjust, while trying to do anything on an iphone makes me crazy. If I were buying a phone for a technophobic older person, I'd probably suggest an iphone and show them the two or three buttons they need to use. For anyone else, an Android phone is my choice, for having more flexibility and adaptability....See More- 8 years ago
