this tutorial is a beginners guide to usingandroid 5 lollipop on the samsung galaxy s5. this should be the same for the galaxy s3,s4,s6and similar for other android phones before we get started with learning androidwe should get familiar with the buttons on the phone.on the right side of the phone is the power button. pressing this button while the screenis off will turn the phone on for use. if you are already using the phone you can pressthis button to lock the phone. if the phone is powered off holding this button for a fewseconds will turn the phone on. on the left side of the phone is the volumebutton. it appears to be a single button, but it is two buttons. pressing the top ofthe button will turn the volume up, and pressing

the bottom of the button will turn the volumedown. at the bottom of the screen there is onlyone physical button. this is the “home” button. if you ever get lost, press this buttonto get back to the “home screen”. previously android had physical hardware buttonson either side of the home button. recently android has replaced the physical buttonswith dynamic software buttons. on the left side of the “home” button is the “recentapps” button. on the right side is the “back” button.the “back” button is used to move back to the previous screen. the “recent apps”button is used to open a screen showing tiles of the currently open and recently used apps.when you first turn on your phone, or when

you pick it up after not using it for a while,you will be greeted by a lock screen. the main purpose of the “lock screen” on atouchscreen phone is to prevent you from calling or doing anything unintentionally.on the “lock screen” we will see the time and date, the charge level, the status barand active app notifications, if any. if we swipe our finger across the screen wewill see the background move and the screen will unlock.at the bottom of the screen there are two quick access icons for the most commonly usedtasks. at the bottom left of the screen is the phone icon. at the bottom right of thescreen is the camera icon. to open either app touch the icon and swipe up.let’s swipe across the screen to open it.

when we first unlock the phone we will begreeted by the “home screen”. this is like the desktop on your computer and containsapps and widgets. widgets are apps that constantly update their information right on the homescreen, without having to open the app. some widgets show the time and date, provide weatherinformation, or quick access to music and playlists.if we look at the bottom of the “home screen” we will see a line made up of six icons. thesecond icon from the left is a small house that represents the “home screen”.thisis the screen that we are looking at now. the four dots to the right of the little homeare additional screens we can fill and customize with widgets and apps.we can swipe to the left or right to change

home screens. as we change the screens wecan see that the highlighted dot changes. we can swipe back to the center home screen,or we can press the “home” button at the bottom of the phone.“status bar”. the “status bar” is located at the topof the home screen. the right side provides device informationlike time, battery charge level, and cellular signal strength.the left side provides notification alerts from the system as well as installed apps.at the bottom of the screen is a set of 4 default shortcuts to the most commonly usedapps, and a link to all the “apps” installed on the phone.the default shortcuts are “phone”, “contacts”,

“messages”, and “the google chrome internetbrowser”. let’s briefly review these 4 basic apps.“phone”. let’s touch the “phone” app to launch the “phone” application.at the top of the screen there are 4 separate tabs with the default of “keypad” selected.“keypad” is where you make a call by using the number pad.enter the number to dial with the keypad. if you make a mistake you can press the backspacebutton on the bottom right to delete the last number typed.when you have entered the correct number you can press the green phone button to make thecall. when you are making a call you will see thefollowing options.
