Hi all,
Traded my iPhone 4S yesterday for the Skyrocket and after some initial frustration (it's not necessarily intuitive) things are getting easier.
Example: I was told that you can put any media file and use it as ringtone but I figured out that it will not let me use the old iphone ringtones in .m4r format but wanted it in .mp3 (AFTER I had figured out that I needed to create the dang directory). Other one that got me that you had to 'mount' the phone via USB vs. just connecting it to the PC.
Some of the questions that are flustering me right now:
How the heck can I look at how much battery life I have left in% or other metrics? (vs. just the little pic on top).
It says I have 1.92 GB system storage. Experienced Android users here at work say that's not a lot and to guard it jealously. My question is this, if I have 11GB free - why can't I just up/extend the system storage by let's say an extra 2GB?
My home network does not assign automatic IP addresses, last night I spent an hour trying to figure out how to do that manually. Whenever I say modify network configuration, it just gives me the option to change password. Not to assign ip address, etc. I know it HAS to be possible... just can't figure out how.
What are some of the best music applications which I can use to transfer my music to the phone?
Does anyone know of a real good primer for Android?
Thanks a ton for this forum and all help!
