Best android 4.2.2 guide?

This is my first android phablet. It is a Goophone i9 which has 4.2.2 installed. I have been looking on the net for a good 4.2.2 android guide. Have found a lot of reviews about features but none so far about how to use all the new features. Would anyone finding a good guide please forward me the web address and a book title? Don

What features would you specifically like to know more about?
 
My i9 failed because the USB charger port became worn out. I am wondering if all Chinese phone have cheap charging ports like the i9. Otherwise the i9 worked very well.

Certainly with the fakes and the real cheapies, the quality is usually not very good with them. Those things are often assembled anywhere, like shopping malls, old warehouses, anywhere there's a bit of space, even prisons. More expensive and/or better known Chinese brands, you're generally OK. I had a knock-off Galaxy Note that I didn't pay a lot of money for, the charging socket detached after about 6 months and pushed up inside the phone, and so it would no longer charge. I replaced it with a real Samsung in June last year, more expensive of course but that one is still good. And now I have an Oppo, which was actually quite expensive by Chinese phone standards, but the construction, fit and finish are top notch with this one. Oppo's software was crap though, but easily fixed by installing CyanogenMod.
 
Just about all android devices have a User Guide or User Reference available online.

If you do a Google search like "droid maxx user guide" you will find it.

This is usually the best document to start from.
