So I recently went from using a Samsung flip phone to a Google Play Edition HTC One.  After having used nothing but flip phones for years, going to a smartphone like this is kind of jarring, and I'm struggling to do basic things on it, such as access my photos, clear notifications, add to contacts, etc.  Basically I'm a complete noob with it.  Is there a good source for learning how to use Android out there if i need to look up something or reference something quickly?

Take a look on youtube i cant think of the channel names off the top of my head but there is a few that tell you whats changed in versions of android and that sort of thing.

That may help :)

 

It should not take to long seeing as you are on pure android should be pretty easy to get used to.

 

Heres a few things:

To access photos can be done by going to gallery or going in to the camera and swiping from right to left

Clear notifications can be done by pressing the little icon at the top right when you pull down the notification tab

the way i add contacts is buy going to the phone and putting in the number and then clicking the menu button and adding that as a new contact :)

 

Iv been a android power user for a long time and would be happy to help.

Just fiddle with your phone a while more and you'll get it.

I was like that with my first smartphone and after playing around with it for a while, I could use it easily.
