[android-beginners] Any on-phone help?
I've been through the fairly pathetic user manual provided by Samsung but there are a few things still puzzling me about my phone and Android. Is there an online (ie on phone) help facility or tutorial that I can use? Failing that, any recommended user oriented Android help web pages or as a last resort a dead-tree book? (I prefer not to buy a book since it will likely never be used after the first read!) There are dozens of sites for iPhone users but most Android sites seem to be either developer focused or just app download/support sites. eg. I'm looking for info on how to monitor/manage resources (battery/memory etc) and switch between apps other than just using the back button - and is there a corresponding forward button? In other words can I toggle between two runnng apps? ) Alan G. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group. NEW!

[android-beginners] Re: How to connect to a robot.
cellurl gpscru...@gmail.com wrote is there wifi? or just cellular... Not sure how generic it is but my Samsung certainly has WiFi as well as cellular connectivity. Once set up it uses WiFi when its available and switches to cellular when its not - so far as I can tell, but I haven't set up the WiFi yet, I'm still reading through the manual! :-) Alan G.
