WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE SMARTPHONE CLASS?
During the last few session, we had some
questions come up during class. Here’s a glimpse of what was discussed
1. CAN I CREATE A GROUP IN MY CONTACTS TO SEND A
MASS MESSAGE ?
On you Contacts APP check to see if the
word Group appears in a tab across the top line of that APP. Most times all you
need to do is Tap it, then a wizard begins asking for the name of the new
Group.
I found this answer on the BLOG page about
SmartPhones. I listed your manual here.
2. HOW CAN I CLEANUP MY SMARTPHONE? Trash is a 3 part answer. First you have to
cleanup the cache ( stuff that accumulates from
App usage) In the General settings you should be able to find STORAGE for your
device. . So here's where you will find the button to delete the
cache or freeup Storage on your device from images, music, etc. Next , if
you use the CHROME BROWSER be sure to cleanup the history, just as you would
for your desktop computer. And lastly, be sure your erase all your unanswered
phone messages.
If you fail to do this, you may not be able to
receive new phone messages. The caller will hear this phone is not receiving
messages, the inbox is full
3. WHAT IS THE ACTIVE NOTIFICATION BAR SHOWING
ME???
This would be the first line on your smartphone
. It will show the percentage remaining, the date and time and all the APPS
that are set to notify you there’s activity for them. You can control this
through the settings to not be notified.
HOW DO I ORGANIZE PHOTOS IN THE PHONE GALLERY ON
MY IPAD ??
Organize photos and
videos The Album tab includes albums you create yourself and some albums that
are created for you, depending on how you use Photos. For example, videos are
automatically added to the Videos album and you see a My Photo Stream album if
you use that feature (see My Photo Stream, next). All your photos in iCloud are
in the All Photos album if you use iCloud Photo Library (see iCloud Photo
Library on page 82). If you don’t use iCloud Photo Library, you see the Camera
Roll album instead, which includes photos and videos you took with iPhone and
from other sources.
Bring any questions to class or send an eMail to
request an answer or demonstration in class to one4cugr@gmail.com.
Some of these are best as an exercise in class.
Here are those PRINTABLE PAGES IN PDF FORMAT

HOW DO I ORGANIZE PHOTOS IN MY ANDROID ??
Andoid phones work similar to the iPad
instructions. With the T-Mobile Phone
click in the upper left corner to see
the word TIME. Click on it and you will see your photos stored here in time
sequence. You can also find the APP Story Album. With Story Album, you can create a digital
Album of your story in media. Special moments will be on a timeline, and if you
wish, you can have your album published as a hard copy. 1. From the Home
screen, tap (Apps) ➔ (Story Album). 2. Read
the introductory information and tap Next. 3. Tap Start to begin your Story
Album. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions. 5. Press and then tap Help for
additional information see page 253 of the manual posted for T-mobile on the Smartphone
tab of this Blog
Using a Samsung
phone to Create Albums , from the Home Screen, tap on Apps>Gallery. Tap
Menu in the Upper left corner, and then tap an option to choose the way items
are displayed.
In Albums view, you can create albums to
organize your images. On the drop-down menu, tap Albums and then tap More >
Create Album. This is on page 86 of that manual
LG Phone
On the LG phone, choose the photo first from the Gallery . Then
click on the 3dots . From here, using the drop down tool list of options pick
either Move or copy . Next find the Album you want to put that image in.
Notice you have lots of other choices here too.
ANDROID ASSISTANT
FROM GOOGLE PLAY:
This paid version you
can avoid the advertising
The Android
Assistant can find apps (which install on the phone’s internal memory) and move
the moveable ones to the SDcard – just as the tool’s name implies as its
function. This method will help you save storage from the APP required to use
it and move it to your SD external card.
There is also the free
version, but the phone’s touch screens are so sensitive, it’s easy to
accidently touch the ad banner and find yourself whisked away to some unrelated
product’s website.
On Samsung Galaxy s7, LG v20 and HTC 10
For Android phones running Android 7.0 Nougat
and Android 6.0 Marshmallow you can use Google’s Assistant as your personal
helper. Here’s a few things to try
· Take me ot the Museu Picassos
· Show my photos of sunsets in Tahoe
· Do I need an Umbrella Today
· How do I say Hello in French?
Help for Google Photo Users
Below is a link to Google’s Blog on products.
This one is their own Google Photos. It is on sharing photos. Now with Google
Photos you pick the photos, tap “share” and select the people you want to share
with, instead of the apps-. If you friends are on Google Photos they will get a
link to the photos and videos via SMS on Android smartphones. And
email address will get an email with the link from Google Photos.
Send an email to one4cugr@gmail.com if
you have questions about the class or something you’d like solved
