Android question

Post Reply New Topic

My Android tablet arrived yesterday and I'm busy learning how to use it.

Is there a quick way to get back to the screen with all the tiles for the apps without repeatedly clicking the back button in the bottom left corner? Depending on what I've been doing it is tortuous going back one step at a time to get to that app menu.

The most frustrating things I've hit so far was figuring out how to unlock it after turning it on. I pushed and stabbed at that bloody padlock endless times before having to do a google search to figure it out... i.e. drag the lock outside of the circle!

The other thing that baffled me was how to get the menu up on the Kindle app I'd downloaded; after another google search I found it it is necessary to tap the middle of the top of the screen.

Some of these taps and swipes are less than intuitive.

Overall I'm really pleased with this 9" tablet. I bought it from Amazon (shipped directly from China) for less than €50. I need to buy a 32 GB SD Card for it too as it only has 4 GB internal, most of which is taken, but the extra 32 GB will only cost €16 so it isn't too expensive.

There should be a little icon that looks like a little house -- that gets you to the "Home" screen.

Sometimes you have to swipe your finger from the top or side of the screen to obtain a panel that displays the house and the back buttons, etc.

I had the same "Huh?" experience with the virtual padlock and other swipes -- not all seemed obvious to me at first, yep.

This is on my 7" Amazon Kindle Fire HD, but hopefully it's the same process or similar for yours.

^ Thanks. That's just what I needed.

Blimey, i thought you wanted to know how to use your new Robot.
