We all have our times, I think. Digital issues every time they “improve” it mostly just create technological problems for me. Wish we could just say, “no thanks” — “leave my device as is”, but the changes they make don’t permit that.

The first time I bought one and asked about a manual, I was told there's no such thing but the best I could do was to sit and "play" with the phone every day for 15 minutes. That helped a lot. I wasn't stressed and pissed off by trying to get anything in particular done, and that made all the difference. <br /><br />You can put phone questions into your brownser and find answers and specific instructions to do almost everything you can't figure out yourself or don't want to. <br /><br />Also, I have a Samsung now and you can go online to their .com, give them access to your phone, and watch them (on your computer screen) make all the adjustments and fixes that have been driving you crazy. It's pretty cool. <br /><br />Sorry if I'm telling you things you already know.<br /><br />-KateStubblejumpers Cafehttp://stubblejumperscafe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-48429729230893217712018-09-24T13:06:12.895-02:302018-09-24T13:06:12.895-02:30I don't know anything about Tao, but I hope it...I don't know anything about Tao, but I hope it helps you.
