Android Phones for Dummies Reviews
-
I found this book really helpful in comprehending all potential of my new phone.
-
3.5 I did learn some things, but not much. Mostly just some stuff about the keyboard and a setting my phone didn't have. Probably more helpful with older, as in not the newest, Android phone.
-
I see why the Dummies series is so popular. This book is clearly laid out, easy to digest, very basic and non-intimidating. Instead of being jammed packed with tech jargon and small print the author uses friendly language, bullets, and images. All without making me feel like [indeed] a dummy.
On the cover it claims "learning made easy" and I have to say it succeeds. -
Some useful hints, but the Dummies humour becomes somewhat trying!
-
Got this to figure my new cellphone out. Helpful.

This was a little out of date but as usual an excellent introduction into the topics. I read it cover to cover despite the introduction telling me not to and found some good pointers. Most of the stuff I had figured out myself already through trial and error. However, I remember how I felt when I was confronted with an Android for the first time and this book would have been EXTREMELY helpful then. And don't forget you can go to wambooli.com for updates. (I just went there, first I clicked on the list of titles and then noticed there was a small link at the top which said "click here for updates". Might be a little hard to find but it's there.
-
Finally finished this title. I learned more from here than from the book that is written specifically for the Samsung Galaxy Note. Say what you want, the titles in the Dummies series are always fun to read and instructional.
-
I don't think this book is a good choice for people with any experience with information processing equipment, i.e. almost anyone. It's far too simple and it seeks to explain ideas that have already permeated the culture. It might have been useful five or six years ago.
-
Not in sync with my Android Galaxy A50. No step-by-step explanations. Pretty much worthless; go to Rent-a-Kid and get side-by-side instructions; or stick with a home computer/tablet and get a simple fliptop for automobile emergencies.
-
I learned a lot from reading this book. Even on topics I was already familiar with I learned a new thing or two. Now I am confident in using my Android phone.
-
It was basic, but okay, a lot of stuff I found by trail and error before I got to the chapter.
-
Would be useful for someone who has just got a new Android phone and were looking for hints and tips, not useful for me.
-
Very useful for Android users.
You can find any thing you wanna know about your phone in this book; how to use, what apps should you have, how to save the battery.. etc. -
Only read selected pages. It may relate more to Samsung Androids than the Motorola Android phone that I was interested in finding out more about.

a clear winner... very patient with my slow learning curve. :)
-
An excellent introduction to Android 5.0 Lollipop smartphones.
