5 1/2 years later. I am decided to watch at least one android/cell phone video a day for the next two weeks. Thank you.

Thank you for posting this video! Yeah, I know, it is 2021, and I'm just now getting my first smartphone. Go ahead and laugh all you want. Want to laugh even more? I'm keeping my flip phone and only using the Moto G as an Android "mini-tablet" to acquire and make use of some particular apps unavailable for a Windows OS. It was cheaper than an actual Android tablet and will get the job done for my needs. Color me analog, but there's a lot to be said for simplicity and reliability... and freedom "from" technology, which is terribly invasive. We don't all need to be "plugged in" 24/7. To some of us, that would be a living hell.

Used your video as a refresher and still learned new applications that I hadn't before used. Thank you.

The buttons are completely different on my TeraCube 2E (2021 purchases) ... I hope you made an up to date video because you sound so clear and knowledgeable about Androids. My POS iPhones have all died or broke over time. And frankly they just cost too much anymore.

Thank you - I have had a smart phone for a while and am using but with very little understanding, You have helped me a lot. You are a natural teacher and I thank you for your time and knowledgew. Have a good 2019!

Bless your heart for trying (as well as) having the patience to do this for others.

I'm currently in a position where I live with an 82 year old grandmother- paired w/ my 54 year old best friend- who knows less than she does about the basics of tech.

It's an absolute nightmare at times...

God bless ya, brother!

I found your video very helpful, thank you. I think that some prior knowledge of how to use a computer is necessary to follow all your explanation.

When we first got our smart phones, we were really lost. We're in our 50's, and our sales person was around 23. He gave us the phone, we looked down, and said, "Now what?" It was awful. I couldn't tell how to make a phone call, text, etc. And just like how you explained what app meant, I had no idea! What I STILL don't understand is why I can barely download anything without running out of memory.

[ShlisaShell]

Thank you. This will help me get started. I still have allot of work but you taught me much.

[catlover]

Too much about apps and not enough about how to do basic things such as storing contacts, making and ending calls etc.

[pennyfulton]

What I want to know :
Where is the ''click '', 'send ', etc equivalent buttons ; and how do you find things like what you've code scanned, so that you can bring it up to show, when you want to use it

I found this video VERY helpful. Thank you.

I'm so thankful for this, because i know nothing. Like every take-off is like another college course. For the first 61/2 years, I thought Microsoft was the Administrator.. I almost wrote them a harsh letter when then I realized that it was me. I couldn't believe it.

[Litzuvi]

My only problem is when I'm trying to add or edit my contacts I call them by accident, and I can't always find a 'hang up' button.

[highevo]

great it helped but if you do another one speed it up

[johnnychandler]

This video. is pretty much outdated but it has some basic concepts. was introduced to Android in September of 2013 when I bought a Jellybean seven inch tablet that didn't support the Play store. later I got one that did support it.
I didn't actually get a phone until July 2018. Thr highest Android I have is Android 9.
A lot has happened over the coarse of time.
Msny of the features that come with the phone are replaceable. For the brave at heart the whole operating system can be replaced. This however is for more advanced users.
For highest security you probably want an iPhone. For something you can do more things with you want an Android.

Im new to it but i'll get it all someday!

My problem is my smart cell phone, like my laptop, uses the ubuntu operating system. Does this mean that because I won't be able to download a Lefan Health app for my smart phone I won't be able to use my smart phone please?
