Hi all,
I received my phone today and I love the OS and the phone. Never owned smartphones before but I have ipod touch which uses iOS even though it's not an iphone, it's pretty close IMO. But this phone seems light years ahead and looks very slick.
Anyway I couldn't find how to do a couple things so would appreciate any help:
1. How can I set the screen auto close/turn off to be longer? Setting sleep to 15 seconds from auto doesn't seem to do anything.
2. Where can I download widgets and how can I change my home screen?
3. If you own an app that's available on ipod touch, and the same one exists on android, can you download it for free? Does this depend on the developer?
4. When I am clicking links, the phone asks if I want to use Chrome or Internet. Is Internet their browser? Which one is more recommended? I feel Chrome looks better for page layout?
5. Should I conserve CPU and other power saver settings? I only turned on the last 2 options, because I thought maybe the cpu conserve option would slow things down when I am using it?
6. Are there any good sites that would show me the tips, tricks to become more efficient with this phone and OS? I am only used to ipod touch and that doesn't have anything special to know. I mean stuff like shortcuts, and getting to places quicker, like settings, removing unwanted apps, etc. I did some minor customization but didn't want to tweak too much when I don't know.
Btw I am technically savvy, so please feel free to mention anything that might help me
Cheers.
