I decided to forgo my desktop computer and see how viewing and posting would be handled on these miniature hand held 'smartphones'!
OMG!😩
THERE IS NO WAY!
You'd have to be daffy to use those things as your primary posting tool!
Agreed. I post om my laptop or my trusty Yoga notebook most of the time. even messaging would be PIA without Bixby or Google Assistant -That may be what is missing for you. If your phone is old enough it may not have an assistant. That's the whole deal for me. If I do post from the phone in any way, I am speaking to the assistant, not typing. Even making appointments or calling someone... I just say, "Hey Bixby" and when she answers, "Call Aaron" or "Make an appointment for Tuesday at 10 am"... I seldom use a keybord if I can help it, and then only to fix errors spit out by the assistant getting it wrong. Heck, with my bluetooth speakers installed, the phone seldom leaves my pocket.
Not only that, I tried to go to all of my online stores, where I do a lot of purchasing .. FORGET IT!
Every single page on here, on my stores .. Everywhere has to be enlarged to be read.
Ever tried doing a search on here without enlarging the whole page?☹
Again, agreed. I do the lion's share of my online shopping from a laptop or notebook, saving to the cart... But i do the actual purchase with my phone because purchasing and tracking, and messages having to do with the purchase are in real time on the phone, and with me wherever I am.
Same with posting!
Keys on keyboard a little larger than grains of salt!
That requires a deft touch - you will get better. I had much the same problems, but years in now, not the case anymore. Part of it comes with a better phone, one with a larger screen for easier reading, and modern amenities such as the Assistant. It was a kludge on a crappy old phone which is what I began on.
Which reminds me .. all of those videos where folks are typing Super fast with just their thumbs? ... let's just say, I believe those as much as I believe that Fauci always tells the truth!
I have one of those skinny pencil type styluses(?) and miss the correct keys almost regularly.
(What do you expect with grain of salt size keys?)🤢
Speaking is way, way better. Even though I am a redneck and Assistants don't understand me very well, still better than typing.
Then there is the problem where you can hardly scroll or move around the screen without 'touching' some spot that sends you some place you didn't want to go, blows the text size up so large that one letter will fill the screen, or worse, sends you back home unexpectedly and erases that post that you took hours to get just right .. Before you get the chance to post it!
(Yep, happened to me here a number of times before I gave up and came back to my trusty desktop!)
Bigger phone.
