Howdy. Thanks for the welcome. I am on new turf here. Yet I did something today that I probably shouldn't have done. So scared myself that I stopped putting off coming here. Been saying to do it for 5 or 7 months. I moved from a T-Mobile Tap to an Android phone LG-C800.
I believe I rooted it. See now why I should have come here six months ago.

I stopped. Haven't removed anything, made any adjustment. I come here irritated with myself, I ask for help before I do something stupid and make a new paperweight.

I'm a consort, pa, grandpa, poet, cyclist, and nosy. Polite term, curious. Eclectic in tastes and interests.

Hi.

And how do I tell if I actually rooted it?

Hi, I'm a first time user of a tablet. It is a coby Kyros mid7022.
I took it to a business yesterday and had a chip installed. It was working yesterday when he installed it but when he turned it off I cannot get it to turn back on.... the screen is blank. I know the tablet is on because the stick memory I have attached to the tablet is blinking but there is nothing on the screen. The on off switch does nothing. I appreciate any information you could give me. Thanks in advance

Great forum. I have HTC EVO 4G - Searching for a contact in "People". Hit search at the bottom right of screen; enter name; Name not found; so I need to add. I see no way to add without getting out and going back to "People" and add from there. Is there no other way to add the name?

Hi Milo. Thanks for all of this, and for the Pre to Android Guide. The transition was much easier than I expected, but the tips, apps and widgets were definitely helpful for more advanced stuff. Gotta say it's weird to be here.

Hi,

We are PC users and have just got an Android tablet. The section
Getting Started with Android - Tips and Tricks
seems useful if you know what you want to do, and promotional features glibly say what can be done. I am looking for a tutorial that leads me through the features guiding me as to how to do things. Do such tutorials exist?

Henry

G'day, I'm new to Android, having just purchased a 10.1" T10A Tablet (running Android OS 4.0.3). I think it might be a CRANE brand. I've used PC's for years, but other OS's are unknown to me.
I also purchased a cover with USB keyboard, but cannot get it to work as a keyboard. I did see what appeared to be a small keyboard icon near the bottom of the screen (towards the right hand side), but pressing the keys on the USB keyboard did not work. The icon has not appeared since.
Any suggestions how to enable the external keyboard would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Inspire glitch?

Joined just now...have this issue: randomly, every 4 -8 weeks, I will wake up to a text msg. from ATT, saying I have gone over my 2 GB data limit. Looking through my phone, in either the photo gallery, or in downloads, or both sometimes, there will be 250 to over a thousand duplicate downloads or pictures, of one to three different things re-copied and re-copied, I guess they are trying to come in or being sent out, during the night, thus using all my data up. I am not doing it, and don't know how to make it stop! I have just deleted all the hundred to thousands of pictures, and then this will happen again every 4-8 weeks. Is this a virus or what??? I have hotmail as my e-mail account, but these are attachments that I haven't even opened on my phone.....:-X

The very first post of this thread has a wealth of general information concerning Android. There are dozens and dozens of things explained with various links, take the time to look over things and then you can come back and ask questions.
