Try to answer (swipe the icon) with gloves on sometime if you want to get frustrated.
You can shut the auto completion/guess the word I'm trying to type thing off in your settings. You either get used to it, hate it, but either way you will send some odd things now and then if you don't watch it closely.

Maybe some random pics would be good too?

Did you get a texting plan with that phone, Jim?    ;)

I've always had a texting plan....never used it.  In fact, had it turned off on the less than smart phone.  I can see the advantages of some texting.  I am investigating the safer methods of doing so.  Glad you're back Poke.  I was just thinking about you and C.

You switched your number, why didn't you stay with your same phone number?

Yep, added a new number.  The old phone is still active but I'm going to turn it off within the month.  I have lots of clients that use it and I need to let them know about the new number first.  I was getting an inordinate (word of the day) number of telemarketing calls to the point that I wanted to reach out through the airwaves and strangle the  :censored: out of them.  I've told them to  :censored: off, cursed them out repeatedly and they still call.  The do not call list doesn't work very well.  What pushed me over the edge was with someone I thought was a telemarketer and wasn't.  I was somewhat rude with them until I found out they were legit and just following up on some business I was involved in.  I felt really bad about that and decided it was time to change the number and also time to upgrade the phone as well.  So far, I've added the flashlight, Netflix, and Directv remote apps.

Galaxy S5.  I've got a smart phone and don't know how to use it....yet.  Basically I got it for the apps.  Not going to watch movies, prefer the large screen for that.  Ain't gonna listen to music.  Not going to get email on it.  I don't need to be in touch that bad and probably won't text either.  I've got a Galaxy S5 for Dummies book but I have no clue where I left it.  It's in the house somewhere...I think.

Your phone hid it... Now that is a smart phone!

That's the reason I don't answer my phone anymore unless I know the number.  can't tell you the last time I picked up my home phone.

Directv app is nice. I put in shows to record if I am not home. zCouple of clicks and it'll be there when I get time.

Guys, thanks and I mean that.  I'm new to this stuff and the apps are what I'm really looking for.
