Anyone else getting a Galaxy 4?

[motoman]

I'm strictly talking about ease of use and simplified UI, not features.

I feel sorry for you if it's that difficult for you to use. I have a 4 year old nephew that can launch Angry Birds just as easily on my Android as he can on my brothers iPad. The UI couldn't be any easier or simple for me, if it were, the damn thing would be controlled by my thoughts alone.

It means that you are taking the longest/slowest route possible to do a simple task by doing it that way.

And that's exactly my point. No one should have to do it that way when it's so simple on the iPhone. And apparently, there are shorter ways with the Note, which is what's being discussed in posts since then. Never implied that I would choose to do it that way. Quite the opposite.

Don't get ahead of yourself. I've only played with the Note for all of 3 minutes. Launching Angry Birds wouldn't be an issue, either.

Calm down sir.

Think about it like this: with your iphone, you turn the knob on the bathroom door handle clockwise to open it.
Then you went to the Android bathroom door, and it turns counterclockwise to open it. Instead of trying it counterclockwise, you walked outside and crawled through the bathroom window

With the Note 2, you can't text from the pic.

You're making statements about ease of use, UI functionality, and declaring what it "can't" do based on having it in your hands for only 3 minutes.

To answer your question:

When you take a picture, a thumbnail of the last photo taken shows up in the bottom left corner. Touch the thumbnail to see the picture.



You can also go to the Gallery at any time, pick out the photo you want:



And by clicking on the universal symbol for sharing, you can text/email/Facebook to whoever.

For whatever reason, when you click that button on her phone, it doesn't give an option for text.

I knew I wasn't crazy!

I didn't. It just seemed like the Note 2 wanted people to do that. I agree with everyone that it doesn't make any sense to go that route.

But again, when you click that symbol on her phone, texting is not one of the options. I'll be able to post later with the phone in hand, so maybe you guys can show me what I'm missing, or maybe she doesn't have something set up correctly on hers. I dunno.

It my be different on her note, but mine is stupidly simple.

That is simple.

And just to clarify, since we're now talking about bathroom doors and exactly what process I went through...

She took a pic and wanted to text it, and she asked me to help. She's old and it's her first smart phone. I had the pic open, and one by one I clicked each icon on the screen looking for the option to send via text. None of the icons available listed an option for texting. Maybe there's one more click involved? I dunno. There were some other things I messed around with that seemed less logical than the iPhone, but that's the only one I remember specifically.

yall were in the bathroom together, and she was taking pictures?

[jluv]

Whoa!

I turned the handle clockwise, turned it counter-clockwise, jiggled it, pulled up on it, pulled down on it, pushed it in, and yanked back on it. None of that worked, so I told her she would just have to shit in the back yard.

I have an option directly for texting a pic and then the option to share everywhere else.

If it was Apples bathroom, they'd tell you how to shit and how many times to wipe.
