Help using Functions on phone :)

Hi guys.
Sorry if i have posted in the wrong part of the forum, i have done a search but can't find the right place to post.
Just a bit of help using my new phone.
I can't figure out how to change my message tone to one i want (on my SD card),
Also i am unsure on how to forward messages on. :/
I will probably post here when i get stuck again, so really sorry if this is in the wrong place ...

Sharon, to forward a msg, long press it and options will pop up.
Regarding the ringtones and notifications, create two folders on the SDcard called ringtones and notifications, drop the files you want to use in this, post a restart it should come up in Settings-> Sounds options
Cheers,
Vikram.
P.S. a lot of the capability is stock Android so it would make sense for you to search in general android forums for answers instead of searching specific to this phone ...
Thanks for the responce I have managed to work out how to forward.
So any types of these questions i should go to an Android forum?
Sorry am new to this phone...
Thanks in advance

Is there a sent box on this phone or does it just come up with the conversation window.

SMS are based on conversations like gMail have. Some time I hate it, but many times it is most better solution that I ever seen.
About question - I think that its fine. I had same problems But I just used google.

[Q] ICS and ICS + : not possible to fill "search" field

Hello to everybody,
I have a small strange thing.
When I use ICS (or ICS+) browser on the xda site and wanting to do a search, here is what happens :
- I touch the "search this forum" button
- it opens the field below
- I touch the "free text area " to start typing
- I see the keyboard sliding up, and then as quickly, it slides back down and the search box closes...
as a result, I can not perform any search on the XDa site.
It does not do that with Opera nor with dolphin.
PS :as a matter of fact, that was yesterday, because this morning, there is not even the "search" button only the "forum tools" one... but I believe it is related to a temporary site issue.
Anyway, has anyone experienced this? Where could it be coming from?
Same here, quite frustrating....
Same here with stock browser.
If you use the keyboard dock it works. But when use a onscreen keyboard you cant type in this sorts of popup text fields
WOW, thanks for bringing this up. I have had this problem for god knows how long. I first noticed it with my rooted HTCEVO. I seem to have this problem with just about all the forums. Now my prime also.
Is it an Android thing? Did it work for you guys with a different browser? Weird, I havent been able to use the function for so long I havent even looked for the search, and now I too see that it is gone. Is it a Vbulletin vs Android thing?
Would love to know the problem/solution.
thanks.....
EDIT: I have a dock, but never tried the search function with it. Now I guess we cant, I dont see the ability to "search this forum". What happened?
Anyway, there seems to be something going on with the search function on the forum now...

edit 05/03/12 : search function is now back on the forum. I'll try again the ICS issue, see if it is still there...
Search function is still not working for me on browser+. However, I know it's not ideal for a quick search, but if it's any consolation the advance search field works.
Kind Regards,

[Q] Changing the build.prop to indicate it's not a Nook Tablet?

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone changed the NT build.prop to have it being recognized as a different tablet? Like say a Samsung Galaxy Tab?
Care to share your settings? Please?
The reason I ask is that a lot of the Market apps are not availble for our NT,and so by changing it, it should give us more option and openess to download and install those apps.
Thanks in advance.

This has been a very well covered topic.

A little bit of advice, try doing searches before posting asking about something that has been widely discussed. This item was pretty easily found and there are certain people that get mad when new users ask old questions. I am not one of those people, but it will save you some grief. Then if you have questions regarding something you don't understand people will be more likely to help you out. Good Luck....

[Q] Force Chrome to always open a new tab

Hello, xda noob here. I hope this is the appropriate forum to be posting in...
I've scoured the internets looking for an answer and haven't been able to find one. I want to know if there's a way to force Chrome to always open up a new browser tab when opening a link from an app. For example: I frequently use the reader app, and when I click on a link to open in Chrome, it opens it in the same tab as the one for the last link that I clicked. Furthermore, the browsing history isn't saved so I can use the back button to view what I have opened before.
Is there a way to force Chrome to always open up a new tab when I click on a link? Thanks in advance.
(BTW, I'm on a rooted Nexus 4,but I'm not sure that's relevant)
Not sure about the opening tab part (sorry lol) but I do know that if you type in chrome://history it gives you your history

[Q]:CM12 stock browser about:debug not working

hi,
I'm new to this forum, and a new happy user of CM12 on my galaxy S2. This is great stuff guys...
I have spent quite a few hours now searching the way to solve my issue, which actually seems pretty easy to fix, but can't find how...
on CM11, my stock browser allowed me to change my UserAgentString.
on CM12 there is no option for this. I tried using "about:debug" to see if menu will change, but.. no, it will not.
so I am stuck on this.
any help will be much appreciated
thanks
Ciao
