Slow Learner

I am sure this blog provides all the documentation needed to confirm I am a slow learner. I don't think being a slow learner is inherently bad.  I generally don't make the same mistakes repeatedly because I fail to be observant.  I am a slow learner because I don't accept a new piece of information without scrutiny.  I need to test the new concept. I need to repeat the operation with controlled parameters. I need to see the same result repeated.  This is where my slow learning and Google's continuos changes and varied contextual interfaces clash.  I can never seem to get through testing and come out with some new learned knowledge.

Yesterday I got a step closer to understanding the phone portion of my android phone. Pick the phone icon. It goes to a dialer page. My (most) recent call is shown at the top of the page. I hit the green phone icon and sometimes it calls that person and sometimes it calls someone else. I finally figured out that (as I noted) this is the dialer page. Even though the top of the screen is filled with a name, number, and picture showing my most recent phone call this is not associated with the green phone icon. The phone icon is associated with the dialer. It is going to call the last number I dialed (which is not displayed). It is not going to reestablish a connection with the last person to whom I was connected.   I still have more testing to do.  Next to resolve is if it is my last outgoing call no matter whether I entered it via the dialer.  But then again perhaps I will just avoid this interface and it's accidental call potential since chances are I would not get this figured out before the next operating system update. I am a slow learner.
