Just got an Android. Wat Do.

月 · September 11, 2014, 03:30:59 PM

This past week I decided to get a smartphone after using a really old flip phone. I got the Moto x and I need some help adjusting. I have used iOS on my Itouch 5 for so long and need to know how to transition. I have a lot of apps that I wanted but I can't for the life of me get the music app to function as I want it to.

My main issue is that the MD5 data doesn't transfer over properly and I have messed up albums and artists.

Any help that someone can offer is appreciated.

I would but I've rarely even touched an Android phone.

I have Malwarebytes for my AV/AM needs and I'll run a scan periodically. I don't really know how to manage files because I use a Mac as my main computer and my Gaming system I don't want to touch with any devices.

What's not to understand? I got an Android RAZR M as my first smartphone, and I'm still using it right now. It's way more intuitive and smooth than any iPhone.

They get viruses? Looooool fuck that shit.

Viruses are usually caused by user incompetence instead of flawed security.

don't do this. you don't need an antivirus for your phone, it just slows everything down. don't install anything shady, and you're fine.

Look into rooting that baby

Can't. I'll lose a bunch of the MotoX's functionality if I install Cyanogen or any other OS that I have looked into.

Eh. That isn't the case when I have been using iOS since 2009. It's not as intuitive switching between the OSs as you would come to think.

I understand that. I'm not illiterate with most technology but I do like to have a program that I can manually use to scan for something that may have gone under my nose.

You don't need an anti-virus for anything if you are competent.

Only 20% of Android users use an Android OS version from within the last year.

And at least my phone works when I want it to, AND I CAN DOWNLOAD YOUTUBE VIDS WHENEVER I WANT

WITHOUT JAILBREAK

I know, but it's pretty poor how Android needs extra security when W8, IOS, Mozilla OS and even bloody Sailfish don't

Didn't you hear about hackers/viruses/randsomeware taking over iOS devices and locking out people? No one owns the W8 Phones because of how terrible of an OS it is in comparison to Android/iOS.

Funny how the W8 OS is better than both, only thing it lacks is apps

Get Nova Launcher and some Icon packs, make your phone look pretty, I'll post a screenshot of mine if you want.
