Help, I went from android to iOS

I had a Samsung Galaxy note (1) with AT&T, I am severely visually impaired and require glasses to read up close, I have SSI and even though I had insurance on my phone (it broke), it still would've cost me $200 (which I don't have just sitting around) to get a new one . So I went for the cheapest option, which was the iPhone 5s for $50 (I am paying my father back, because he bought it for me)...my galaxy note was able to zoom better on the internet and I was actually able to make the Interface and text ACTUALLY bigger, not like the fudge apple is feeding me right now >:(
I don't want my texts being blurted out loud for everyone to hear all the time...and I don't want my contacts text to be so freaking big that I can only see 1 letter...aside from the dumb double tap zoom feature (which is pointless on a device like this when you've got large hands!!!!) does anyone know how I can legally make the interface on my iPhone 5s just a bit bigger? Any keyboards I can buy or get for free that will make MY keyboard, not some stupid app that makes me copy and paste, bigger!? I CANT TAKE THIS FOR TWO MORE YEARS!!! I CANT STRAIN MY EYE FOR THIS LONG!!!! IT IS THE ONLY WORKING EYE I HAVE LEFT AND I WANT TO KEEP IT, AND MY PRIVACY, JUST A LITTLE WHILE LONGER!!! T n T
I've used all the features it gives you:
- Bold keyboard, which I have to say is useless, because my keyboard isn't blooded right now, only in very few apps.
-High Contrast, which is USELESS if I'm not able to read stuff very well...
-Dynamic Text, WHICH DOESNT WORK ON ANYTHING BUT MY TEXT MESSAGES AND CONTACTS!!!!!!! I have to get back on my computer if I even wanna think about using Facebook or to read articles!!!
-Invert colors: I honestly think it's freaking stupid!!! Reason why, is if I have a colored background that is just fine for my eyes (light sensitive) and I have high contrast on, that nice dim background turns into the sun and burns what is left of my retina!! >:( Honestly, I'd find retina display useless on a phone if your physical retina is pretty much burned away due to bright freaking light...I mean, seriously, my left retina is has deteriorated , but the white backgrounds on this phone makes my left eye hurt!! And if I turn down the contrast, it's too dark for me to even attempt to read anything on this electronic piece of paper.
-Talkback, I don't even want to get started on this...seriously...Talkback is very selective on what you can have it read to you. If I click on a text message, it doesn't even bother to read it!!! It just says, "text field" ***!?!?
Speak Selection and Speak Auto text: I am completely thrown off by these...I don't even know what they do!!! I turned them on and I never heard anything!! I assumed speak selection would read to you what you had highlighted...nope!! I made sure talkback was on when I used these, and I turned it off, too, just to see if they were standalone things.
So, thanks, Apple...thank you for making me regret switching from my samsung evergreen (small back-up phone I had. It is also broken. The speakers go off randomly).
It had a better interface than this...
I'm hoping I can just get my dad's money back and switch back to my evergreen...
But, if someone is able to help me, I'd be willing to keep this phone.
It has a flashlight feature...which I do find pretty cool for when I'm walking at night.

I chose iPhone 5s, but it clearly choose iPad 2, for me >:/ It took my an hour to type this with my iPhone. My dad typed this reply for me.

  • Is there any way to more chats on whatsapp from Android to iOS?

    Hello! Hello!
    I've got a question. I have android phone, and i'm about to buy iPhone soon.I'd like to move my whatsapp chats from android to iOS. I was searching on the website of whatsapp, but there's only information about Android -> Android and iOS -> iOS. I also googled this, and I found one instruction. But it need from me to have Windows. Is there any other way to do this, using OS X?

  • Switching from Android to iOS

    Hello everyone, I'm wondering if you can help me.
    I'm part exchanging my GS4 for an iPhone 5c and I'm wondering if I'll have to buy PS Touch for iPhone or just bring my subscription over from Android. It's no big deal but if I can save a few pennies, who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth?
    If anyone could answer this question for me I'd be extremely grateful.
    Thanks everyone,
    Happy new year!

  • Need Help! went from Mac OS 10.3.9 to reinstall now at 10.3.3 Help!

    I had Mac OS 10.3.9 installed and updated with the latest updates. First Safari went down --could not bring in a web site to save it's life! then slowly other things seemed buggy.
    So I did the usual -dumped cache, history, backed up every thing. Then decided to reinstall from disc--10.3.3 OS.
    Now all my Adobe and Macromedia software (all legal) will not start up do I have to re-install all software. Plus when I try to run System software Updates the machine says I can't connect to the net --but I can. I have a backup of all software updates I had downloaded earlier and it says I can't run them. Trying to update -stair step style starting with 10.3.4. Error says "You cannot install this software, on this Volume. This Volume does not meet the requirements for this update." What can I do? any suggestions? Thank you for help.

  • HELP: library went from 5 GB to 365 GB in one day

    I was putting new music into my library today and for some reason after i added a song to my library, it said it could not be added because there was not enough memory in my library.
    when i looked at the bottom of the window it read that i have 365.92 GB, which is impossible seeing as i have roughly 1700 songs total, and one short music video.
    someone pleeease help im not sure what happened.

    i checked that but i only had a few
    i think what actually happened was apple updated everything so that any music not purchased or already owned isnt able to be accessed
    im not sure though...

  • The Switch from Android to iPhone

    Hello everyone,
    For about 4,5  years now, I have always been using Android smartphones. I have never regretted buying them and I have always loved them. The main things that made me choose for android were the freedom and customization. I have always been experimenting with different custom ROMs, trying to adjust the way I use my device exactly the way I wanted to. I had never even considered buying an Apple device.
    About a year ago I was looking for a tablet. I went to the store to have a look at the different android tablets. In the store however, I noticed the android tablets not running nearly as smooth as my phones always had. Just for the heck of it I also took a look at the iPads and I was intrigued by how smooth they ran. A lot of internet research and store visits eventually made me choose the iPad mini. I did not only want a smoothly running device, I also wanted to try out a different operating system. Furthermore, I also somehow wanted to reserve the endless customization and messing around with different ROMs for my phone. I wanted the tablet just to run smoothly and work. Apart for a slight image retention problem, my iPad Mini works great and I never regretted buying it despite of my earlier dislike for Apple.
    However, even after buying the iPad, I could still never imagine myself buying an iPhone. Until recently. Allthough I still really like my blazing smooth Galaxy S3, I am kind of losing the interest for constantly changing ROMs and the endless customizability. It was fun having all those options open, lately I have always been looking for ROMs that simpely work properly without any hassle and that run smoothly. The thought of switching to iPhone has crossed my mind several times, but I am still unsure.
    I was wondering if there are any people who have recently made the switch from Android to iOS and how they experienced it? I think I'll like having an iPhone for its simplicity and smoothness, but I am also afraid that I might miss widgets, custom MP3 players, and the freedom to download and open any file or easily send them from my phone.
    How have other ex-android users experienced this switch? What difference did you like most and which android features did you miss (in the beginning)?
    I hope to hear from you :)

    Ok, no widgets and I do miss those occasionally. However, I have other music players on my phone than the built in one. And, I've yet to find a file that I could put on my Android phone and use that I couldn't also put on my iPhone. In both cases, I generally email files to myself.
    Things that I like on Android phones that I can't get on an iPhone: ability to schedule SMSs for a later time, ability to use a different messaging app for SMS, ability to set profiles for settings based on time, location, etc with apps like Tasker.
    On the other hand, my iPhone never crashes (I found custom ROMs to be a nightmare). It integrates beautifully with my iPad and lots of other devices. Siri is, for me, much better than Google's voice features, though that gap is closing. And, as the Apple App Store is more lucrative for developers than the Google Play store, the apps that I want and use, in my opinion, seem to be better. I find the user experience on an iPhone just more pleasant. And, I think you'll find that an iPhone 5S is just as "blazing" as a Galaxy S4... forget the S3!
    Best of luck.

  • Android to IOS

    I recently swapped from Android to IOS, can i download the app from the app store and not have to pay for it? Its like $4.99 on the  app store but when I first downloaded Photoshop Touch on Android it was $9.99. The $4.99 by itself is definetly worth it but at that point i have paid for the app 3 times!

    No there`s no way you only can pay 3 times.

  • Converting Android to iOS

    Hi,
    I have a Blackberry Z10. When I ordered it online from Amazon it said it had the ability to be converted from Android to iOS. The phone came with Android factory settings. I did some research and I found that you can download a bunch of apps to make the phone LOOK like an iPhone, but I'd rather not download a bunch of apps that will clog up my phone. Instead I want to actually CHANGE the setting on my phone to actually BE an iPhone if that makes any sense. I don't really care about the look, I'm just sick of all these knock off apps and the fact I can't send any emojis or use snapchat. Can anyone tell me how to convert my phone and will that solve the app issue? Thanks!

  • IPad 1 Safari crashes frequently. I went to many Apple stores in different countries and each Apple staff member had their own different opinions with no help. I had upgraded my iOS to 5.1.1 and the Safari crashing started about one year

    IPad 1 Safari crashes frequently. I went to many Apple stores in different countries and each Apple staff member had their own different opinions with no help. I had upgraded my iOS to 5.1.1 and the Safari crashing started about one year after the upgrade and some Apple staff blame this- but this started one year later after the iOS upgrade. Recently at the Apple Store in Vancouver an Apple staff reset my computer (erased everything and sent to iCloud to reset the iPad) and I hoped this would fix the problem. IPad Safari still crashes. Short of booking an appointment for taking it for repair to Apple technicians which will cost me money can anyone help me to fix this Safari crashing.

    Hi,
    You might have a 3rd party plugin that isn't compatible with Safari 4.0.4. Go here for help...
    Safari add-ons can cause performance issues or other situations
    If you are using a USB hub, try disconnecting and restarting with just your keyboard and mouse connected.
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.

    Also, you could download and install the 10.5.8 combo update (PowerPC) available here.
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
    It contains fixes that might help. Then repair disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Please help. I recently upgraded to IOS 8.2 and i realised that all my downloaded videos from itunes have somewhat vanished. I see the cloud sign with the downward arrow. However they won't play, i am being required to DOWNLOAD them again.

    Please help. I recently upgraded to IOS 8.2 and i realised
    that all my downloaded videos from itunes have somewhat vanished. I see the
    cloud sign with the downward arrow. However they won’t play, i am being
    required to DOWNLOAD them again. This is both in my iPhone and Ipad. Is there
    any other way to go around this? As I do not want to download a second time,
    that would cost me more money.

    Hello ogojohn,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    The   icon indicates an item that is available for download. This is usually because it has been downloaded previously by the account you are logged in under and will not be charge again for the download. See the following article, while it references iTunes for Mac and not iOS, it is the same.

  • Overnight my contact list went from 1492 contacts to 52.. With help from Apple support I retrieved all of my contacts.  Here is the problem, I lost the groups.  None of my contacts are sorted into groups as they used to be which is very important for me.

    Overnight my contact list went from 1492 to 52.  With help from Apple I retrieved the missing contacts using Time Machine.  The problems is that the contacts are not in groups as they used to be.  Any suggestions?  I really need them grouped for business reasons.
    Also, there are no longer pictures associated with each contact.
    thanks for any help anyone can give me getting contacts back into the groups that I had established.  By the way, the group names are still there, but they are all empty.
    thanks,

  • IOS & iPhone new features questions from Android user

    Hi there. I have heard good things about the new iOS 8.3 and iPhone 6 but find certain aspects restrictive . I'm an Android user for five years running and would like to explore more on the issue / owning an iPhone by focussing on things that matter to me on my day to day use of a phone:
    1. Is there a custom equaliser setting that one can set via the iPhone or iPad itself without setting it on iTunes?
    2. Sharing photos
    I have downloaded Dropbox, signed-in, set sharing to Photos enabled and yet it doesn't show when i want to share/forward my photos. Would this sound like a bug or incompatibility with iOS?
    3. Any new battery saving option (like Android) on iOS 8.3?
    4. Any further improvements in terms of support for 3rd-party sharing & saving options like for instance in Shazam and Evernote?
    5. I have a Chromecast and i would like to cast/stream my files so i can listen to my TV. Is there any app to do that?
    6. Is there a way to save an entire article (news or a tech article) from Safari or a third-party app to another app such as Evernote or Notepad? (for reading later)
    Any comments are much appreciated. Many thanks.

    You can tap on the Activities icon (box with an arrow pointing up and out), tap on the More item on the bottom row (scroll to right if needed) and enable Convert to PDF. Then it can be opened in iBooks, the official PDF reader amongst other things, or install the latest Acrobat DC instead. If the article is already in PDF format, you'll find a Send To… item amongst the allowed activities.
    BTW, have you downloaded or read online the full iPhone manual?
