Hello.

Hi all,

I've just purchased my 1st Android phone - the S4 from previously having the iPhone 4S and 3G. Why did I change?? I needed a bigger screen than the 4S, it was usable but found it was getting too small to read long emails and webpages, then there is the keyboard with it being only as big as the screen...the constant typos. Although It is possible that I am going blind and have fat fingers rather than any faults with the iPhone
Other reasons to make the change were that there was nothing new.... I don't really play games on my phone anymore and most of my apps are photo ones, I love the camera on the 4S fab pictures enhanced by many fantastic apps. So yeah I was getting bored with the limitation and lack of customization on iPhones.
So my 4S.... I love the camera, my daughter has a S3 and I was impressed by the image quality on that. I love the big screen, I'm still at the WOW stage with that I love the fact its thinner, than the iPhone, even though its bigger it still fits in most of my pockets. The only thing that I've not got used to yet is that it's not as heavy/solid as the iPhone.
As far as Android its very new, but that's what I'm here for - to discover, learn and play.

Welcome to A|C, Demented. With a name like that, your daughter must have an interesting life. (Just kidding.)

Anyway, as a former iPhone user, you might find this useful: http://forums.androidcentral.com/general-help-how/137252-apple-users-guide-android.html

Welcome to Android and the forums! I have seen a fair amount of people posting that they too are growing tired of Apple's OS, and want something fresh. My suggestion: after you get used to Android for a week or so, download a new launcher from Play. I would suggest Nova. A launcher is a User Interface and changes the way you interact with the phone. With Nova, you can change the grid layout of the app drawer and homescreens, color themes, scrolling animation and speed, how many icons are in the dock, number of dock pages, plus more. This is a free app with an upgrade to Prime, and all the features I listed are on the free version.
