Maps were probamatic not actually showing me where I was but where I was the last time I used Maps. Occasionally when moving into an out of signal range area and back into signal range that the device would not re-register itself to the network. Other problems were that the user data for Facebook and Twitter mysteriously disappeared and I would have to reenter user name and password again. Many updating processes were terminated for lack of space. I could not update larger apps since they would need a working space at least equal in size to the app for the updating process. The memory problem prevented text messages from being received. The result was that system memory was exhausted in a short time with nothing left to transfer to the card and no apps I wanted or could delete. However there are some apps which can not be transferred to a card and they MUST have system memory. I downloaded an app to identify all the other apps which could be transferred over to the SD micro and transferred everything which would go. The phone came with a 2 GB SD micro card and I later purchased a 32 GB card. The most serious problem was the minuscule system of 160 MB. Most annoying as "predictive" text had close to a 100 percent failure rate in predicting what I wanted to type.
As often as I tried to turn off predictive text it had a habit of turning itself on. Faster with fewer typos than a qwerty keyboard. I was used to using a numeric keypad for entering text with my Nokia 3315. I select the numeric keypad as the preferred option for entering text. The screen size was really to small for a user with middle aged eyes to meaningfully interact by a touch screen qwerty keyboard. To share a photo with Twitter or Facebook required opening up the required app and selecting an image from gallery to add to a post.Īnother problem was not really phone related as user related. There was no way to add to the sharing options. The options for sharing were for Piecza (still not sure what that was) and other obscure choices. First there was no option to share photos to Facebook and Twitter directly from the gallery.
For an accustomed old Nokia user like myself this was all exciting. I didn't like the way the music was organised and with no option organising music to my own satisfaction.
I especially enjoyed reading a few books on the phone and downloaded others. Easy to use and intuitive I made the move from my old Nokia 3315 then 9 years old to my first smart phone with Fscebook and Twitter (although I had to download the apps), a basic camera and apps like GPS, music and email. I have just stopped using my Samsung Galaxy Y Duo because the issues were many and irresolvable.
