The official tablet (and other useless electronics) thread!

[Jake]

After playing with several friends' phones, realizing I was up for an upgrade, and being fairly nonplussed with the direction Apple's been taking lately, I pulled the trigger last night on a Galaxy S7 Edge.

I have no idea what I'm doing.

Any suggestions on the best apps for texting, calendar, contacts/dialer? All of my mail/contacts/calendar was already on Google's services so it's been an easy transition, but the stock apps Samsung bundles aren't so hot.

I downloaded Google Messenger for texts, but the concept of having two apps named Messenger bothers the shit out of me (Facebook Messenger being the other one). Maybe GoSMS or something?

Also, any general Android tips/tricks would be great. I think this level of awkwardness is how our parents must feel with new technology.
