A moment of your time

im a former blackberry user and am having a little trouble figuring a few things out with my hero. i would very much appreciate any assistance you can offer.

1. i get pics of my new baby from my wife through 'message' but cannot figure a way to save them.

2. when viewing an image on the internet, how do you 'save as' one?

3. i have a custom ringtone (mp3) that i want to assign to all calls. i tried bringing it up in the music app but dont see a way to assign it.

thanks if you can help with any of these.

When in doubt with android, always try a long press. Press and hold on images, and usually, a menu will pop up with options. Try that for #1 and #2.
#3, Ringdroid app in the market should do what you're asking. It makes mp3s into ringtones.

I know in the browser you can long press (press and hold for a couple seconds) on a pic to get a menu to 'save image'. I don't know for sure but I would assume you can do the same thing with picture mail.
As for the mp3 issue, I have no idea since I haven't tried anything like that before but it sounds like an app could handle that.

Ummmm, yeah.....

As 330D said, "long press" - learn it, live it, love it! For MP3s as phone sounds, make the following folders on your SDcard: ringtones, notifications & alarms. Drop any MP3 you want to use for these functions in the appropriate folder. Done!

Just re-read #3 - from the music app, select the song you want as a ringtone > click Menu > select Set as Ringtone. This lets you set it as the standard phone ringer or individual contact ringer and lets you trim MP3s to boot!

Stock music app does this? I didn't know that....

the stock music app can assign a song to your default ringtone list, but it takes an app like ringdroid to edit/chop a song into smaller sound files.

Stock app has a ringtone trimmer as well, but I still prefer using Ringdroid

I'm rooted and not running stock music app, and don't see a way to do it in the music app I have in Fresh 2.0d, but for anyone still using stock OS, it's good to know the feature is there...
