Help Uploading movies to my Thunderbolt....

[wallstreet123456]

What video type do I have to put the film in to get it to play on this phone?
Also on top of the screen there is an iconit looks like a compass rose, circle with arrows around it, is that the GPS symbol? If so it seems to always be there so I assume the GPS is always on, can I turn it off (I thought it was off) this might also save battery life.

You can add a gps widget to turn it off or go to your location settings.

The stock player supports the following formats:
WBMP MPEG4 / H.263 / H.264 / WMV9

You need to either convert videos to this format or find a player in the market to suit your needs.

How do you name the videos so that when you go into the video section on the TB they are named?
