    So far, been uber happy with this. The virtual keyboard is sooooooooooooo much better in this phone/android version. My mistakes (of which there were plenty) should go down...

    Anyone using a holster for this phone? I have the Seidio holster for my Fascinate and love it, but the versions for this phone seem to all require you to enclose it in a case first.

    Q9: I have a fave ring time (.wma). I sent it to myself in email. I download and saved the attachment on my Nexus. To where it saved it, I have _no_ clue. Can't find it, can't find a file browser type of all on it. How can I get that ringtone in someplace where the system will recognize it as a ringtone?

    Did you look in the SD card, assuming you have one installed. How about just downloading again and this time direct it where to download so you can find it?

    Well, saving it from email didn't give me an option as to where to save it.
    I installed ES File Explorer, did a search for the file, found it, and copied it to a /sdcard/ringtones dir
    The system is not picking it up.
    I'm beginning to think that ICS can't play WMA files.
    Everything from Zedge is .mp3
    Converters on the net are $30+

    How about installing to the root file:
    System > Media > Audio > Inside the Audio folder you will see 3 folders > ringtones, notifications and alarms
    Copy to Ringtones

    At least that is how it is on Gingerbread.....

    Thanks Steve. I will try. I have to figure out how to get ES Explorer to get there. I don't know what all the icons mean <G>

    Q10: Is there a ICS browser tutorial anywhere? I've googled for same, and didn't find much of anything other than a hint or two. I can get to and found bookmarks easily enough, can figured out how to delete useless (MSN!) ones, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to SET one.

    So I found a WMA to MP3 converter. Apparently ICS can't play WMA, although earlier Android did.
    Downloaded, installed, converted, sent to myself, saved attachment, found it using file explorer, copied it to /sdcard/ringtones and now it appears!

    Thanks for the help!

    Looks like the three dots would be the thing to press and a menu should pop up to offer choices. One looks like to add a bookmark for the page you are on. Look here...

    Well, you're doing pretty good without having it!
    Apparently much better than me with it, although I learning.

    You Steve? No, never. (Be careful of sarcasm dripping from my previous statement.)

    Q11: Ok so I accessed my home WiFi from the phone. It LOOKS like it automatically switches to it whenever the phone is in range, switches to 4G when it isn't and back and forth so on and so on. If so, great. Cuz with WiFi and home and work, then I rarely need Data. Can anyone confirm this behavior?

    That is the way it works for me. The only problem is when I go to a truckstop. You have to pay for wifi access there, so when I am not home, I just turn wifi off.
