Newbie Cell Phone Questions...

All Apps should be free! If the Native Americans had rode something other than Apps and paints they’d still have their land.

Any apps I download are always through the play store because they screen them for viruses and they tell you if they're free or cost money.

Good to know, thanks!

I just installed a rubber-ish cover with tempered glass on the phone. It no longer feels like it's covered in snot and is much easier to hold.

FWIW, here's the one I got (specifically for the "Moto e" phone):

Yeah, but those were the only horses they could catch on foot...

You did a good thing deleting that.
Go to your store and download duckduck go. You will not get your life invaded like google does.

I’ll second that one good sir.

Good for you putting a screen protector on the screen.
Wife put her purse on the ground outside the pickup on the passenger side. I ran over it.
The back side of the phone was shattered.
The front side with the screen on protector didn’t get a scratch.

I downloaded an app (Network Cell Info Lite) to find which cell tower I'm on. It's pretty cool.

It shows a map, and a line from my location to the cell tower the phone is using.

And of course, it's not using ANY of the 3 closer towers, but one that's 6-8 miles away. :/

But at least I know which direction it is...
