Nice People Thread Part 9 - and so it continues

Day 1 with a smartphone - you realise it is going to take you a while and a lot of aggrevating time to work out properly how you use the damn thing.

Day 2 you continually check you phone to see if you have any new calls/ texts/ tweets/ emails

Day 3 you wonder how you ever managed without one

Day 4 you remember that people used to switch off their phone sometimes

Day 5 you curse that the battery does not last long enough

Day 6 you go out and realise that you have forgotton your phone and feel you have to return home to fetch it

Day 7 you are now comfortable with your phone, but you could get more out of it if you just loaded a few more apps

Day 8 you realise you need to back up your phone

Stuck... I put it down for a few minutes and picked it up again, got the screen lit up and there's a padlock on it

No idea what to do.

Oooh ... screen now says tap to take photo.

Hopeless... no idea what's gong on. Tapped it, then it was whittering on about dragging to zoom, then it was offering settings/gallery ... yet the only thing that seems to work is the NEXT button

Edit ... ah, I think I was reading instructions, which I thought were commands. Just managed to take a dodgy photo of my keyboard.

Oh, you should have got your feet. Might have kept nice men happy for a while.

I need to find the Internet on it, get that RM app.... for starters.


Edit: Found Internet

Edit 2: small flaw - need Internet AND keyboard to show..... not sure where keyboard is.

the keyboard should appear when it realises that you need to type something in - cos' its smart. so click on the search bar or similar and the keyboard should appear.

You need the play store for apps - you will get links on the internet but thwey will just take you to the play store to download. Play store shoudl be accessible via an icon on the desktop or from the app drawer accessed by clicking on the icon with 16 small squares - hence why that icon has now appeared on google webpages.

Or click on the little microphone icon and speak what you were going to type

Pinch or stretch using thumb and finger to zoom in/out

Ah. It said something about play when I first used it.... that sounded like "buying games" so I skipped it

Ok, yesterday night I ate what I was told to, and have done so again today. Really, really ill. I was going to give it a week before feeling I'd given it a fair crack of the whip ....not sure I'll make it now.


I don't see those inside people again till February .....

I guess I just stick with it till I cannot stand to then say I tried, failed, then stopped.

A friend of mine went to see [STRIKE]the quack[/STRIKE] GP recently because of a digestive issue. They were given some tablets. Tablets made them worse. After 48 hours friend said "fork it". Took no more, & hasn't had a problem since. That said, it has only been a couple of weeks.

To be honest, I'm worried about them, as I know they have additional health issues.:(
