Hello Folks,

My user name is chicnhok, the name on my DL is Joan, but chicnhok will do best U see bcuz it has 2 meanings. Broken down into syllables,( chic-n-hok) its easy to see the 1st meaning is a majestic bird of prey , & 2nd is a bit trickier, chic=a woman, n=in, hok=hock=debt, or a woman in debt verifiable by a mortgage that I shouldn't have been allowed to get

In a nut shell, I'm older than dirt, my brain see's things totally different than other peoples. (I call it backwards, not to b confused with dyslexia bcuz I'm not dyslexic) as U can tell I mainly do any kind of writing in text form(my text form, kinda on the keep it simple stupid concept just not the one you guys know)

Yes I am challenged in oh so many other ways, I'm told that goes along with aging, just doing a random search that lead me here, makes me feel like i'm on another planet.

I just found out that I can purchase a phone that is unlocked,( please feel free to jump in & correct me any time U feel I've stumbled down a rabbit hole, & for gods sake don't get in front of me if I'm falling, I was the person they were talking about on that commercial "I've fallen & I can't get up, if your trying to keep me from falling then its U who won't get up,) I'm not small by any means ...

I digress here see how easy that was to run after that rabbit...ur yes well, I really like the unlocked part what I have now & the carrier to go with it is AT&T, the phone is an LG G3 i'ts out of warranty, & contract I'm stil w/ AT&T just my 2yr period is up & as with everything in life (well mine at least) once I pay something off it starts taking a crapper at the most inconvenient times. It gets really hot if I'm browsing actually if I use it for anything any length of time it gets hot even charging, & nothing like txting away & U look up and all your words that have letters close to the #'s, the numbers win. I didn't change keyboards or anything...so now ive come to the conclusion, I need another phone...if for kno other reason to see what it will sound like when thrown into a running garbage disposal (yes with the water running) how else will we know how it does in water.... water resistant is such a irrelevant term these days

Unlocked phones, this is what I know so far, that most are carrier friendly that means that I can take my sim card and put it in the unlocked phone & it should work...correct, does that mean that the onboard apps of the old phone stay with the old phone? I was looking at some unlocked phones & I saw that some can take dual sim cards Y would U need that in a phone, ...I will continue to look up the answers to my questions myself...feel free to jump in and answer any questions, or offer suggestions, I like to take good pics, my sister takes better pics on her flip phone than my LG so a decent camera is a must, I wana get the most, for the least amount of money & on board apps, I hate having to have something on my phone that I don't intend to use, ie...Facebook, twitter, lookout, hangout,2- diff navigation apps, 2-diff messaging apps, yeah I'm not a social person, & if I need an app I can add it in as long as its compatible. Do unlocked phones come with extended warranties, what happens when the mfg upgrades to a more advanced OS, that I probably cant afford, I'm thinking this will be the last phone I get so I want to cover all the bases as best I can....Thank U to all that got thru this w/o nodding off, any suggestions will b greatly appreciated until nxt time U all take care.....Ms. Chicnhok​
 
Welcome to the forums! There are many forums where you can find what you're looking for! Enjoy!
 
Welcome. :)

I have an LG G3 myself, approaching four years old now. I decided to do a factory reset and partial restore from backup recently, and it’s running far better for it. You may care to try that yourself.
 
Welcome to Android Central! I'm glad you found us! Thank you for your awesome intro - it was fun to read! I too had a G3 and miss it! As was mentioned above, perhaps a factory reset would make the phone run smoother for you.

Enjoy yourself here!
 
Good afternoon, wondering if anyone knows how to change my username here on AC? Thank you very much & have a wonderful day!!
