I have the home button and just now figured out how to set that to answer 
calls and power to hang up. I'm at a 100% complete loss on how to do 
anything else though. I have t-mobile. I guess this is like the galaxy s3 
and s4 except more geared toward the entry level user. I hope with helping 
my in-laws move all weekend to graduate to entry level user by the middle of 
next month. At least I can answer it now but still can't text or anything 
else. As bad as my old phone was, I'm thinking upgrading was a mistake. 
Maybe by next year I won't feel that way.
