When I got my new Smart Phone last August there were page after page of apps to choose from, either free or to purchase. That's where i got the Directv satellite location app, which is really nice. Now when I press the app button on the start page all I get is a couple of pages of standard apps that are there all the time.

Can anyone explain how I can access all the available apps?

Should be 4 pages of apps if it's a galaxy ... use bottom right button on screen should say apps.... then slide the page across to get to next page

Google play store to download more apps

Google Play Store APP looks like a blue triangle over a red triangle over a yellow one and you will need to sigh in, think mine is tied to Gmail.

Yup and there is not a limit to the number of pages you can have. I've had one, 2,3,4,5 at different times ... But the PLAY STORE app is where you find more apps.

I use the WINEGARD antenna tool on my current phone. It says i'm 25.x miles from teh station I'm watching.

Thanks for all the replys. I guess when I've gone to Google Play store and it said to sign in I had no idea which to sign in with. Will try my Gmail log in and see what happens.

Is there also a place to log out? So many of those sites once you sign it you can't get rid of it after that.

And do they unindate you with ads every time you turn the phone on and go to apps? Seems every time I log on to my e-mail on the computer I have a hundred ads to delete

RV APs can be addicting. I still have RV checklist, Bubble level, TV finder, and several Campground as well as Truckstop APs.

Yes you sign in as you do with G-Mail. same user name/password.

And then you will need to click on the menu (3 lines upper left) and coose APPS.

Then there is page arter page after page ater page after page ater page of mostly CRAP apps. and a few gems hidden in the refuse.

If your previous phone was a 'Droid and you got your apps from Google Play Store you may also choose MY APPS from that menu.

Then click on LIBRARY and you should have a list of Apps you instealled, and/or uninstalled, from the old phone
