Simply open Play Store. Almost all Android apps are downloadable there. You can also use your web browser to search for installers (APK format).

The speakerphone option can be seen only during a call. Just tap on the speakerphone button to enable/disable it.

At any text entry screen, for example, in message editor, press and hold Options, predictive text is turned on or off, depending on its previous mode. Or at any text entry screen, select Options > Predictive text (or Prediction, or Prediction options, or Dictionary).At any text entry screen, for example, in message editor, press the “#” key twice quickly, then the predictive text is turned on or off, depending on its previous mode.
