Hello , I've got a new S3 . Coming from a Nokia Lumia 900 that was very easy to use until I face planted it and ATT made me an offer with this nice phone . There are many things I love about it but I find it much more difficult to use for the everyday things . My previous smart phones (also had an I 3GS ) would tell me when I had a text on the screen and even give a preview of it . If I missed it a number would be there to show me I had a text . I was annoyed at having to download an app just to get my voicemail and I don't like the app much either . So far I have only loaded apps through play store yet it seems I picked up some mobile search app that wants to hijack my browser . I thought I uninstalled it yet the other day an ad took over my browser that I could not back out of . I do have Lookout and its up to date . Another cool thing about my Nokia was that I could just hold down the home button and tell it what to do such as call or text someone which I miss . I think this is a really nice phone and hope the more experienced will be patient enough with me to tell me what I"m missing :confused: It seems that even when I turn off an app that it's still running and eating the battery . This didn't seem to be the case with other phones but I might be wrong . An issue that disturbs me too is that most of these apps declare that they will have full access to using the mic and camera whether I like it or not . What's up with that ? This makes me not want to get new apps at all which the reason I jumped to android from windows :mad: At the time it seems like this phone is a lot more work to use on a daily basis and I'm hoping I can rectify that here with the some help . Thanks in advance , Jim
