Help using Functions on phone :) - Optimus One, P500, V General

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] Vibrator on LOL v1.4.2

hey guys,
sorry if this question has been asked before, but i didn't find the answer in that forum...
i bought my lg P500 yesterday, flashed to LOL 1.4.2, which is an ****in' awesome rom, but there is one thing missy : the vibrator.
in fact, the phone doesn't vibrate when receiving SMSs... and it's very annoying... do you know how to fix it?
i wanted to ask this question in te rom dev thread, but i don't have the "permission" to reply on a dev thread (that is a poor rule...)
have a good day
EDIT : i found out a solution. you have to go to the sms app, hit the menu button, parameters, and at the very bottom there is an option to tick. sorry for the inconvenience, it's the very first time a use android

[Q] How to view SMS Sent Time?

Hi all, I'm a noob (just watched the You're a Noob video haha)
This is my first smartphone, so I realised for threaded messages they arrange it according to the time received (by you), rather than time sent (from whoever sending the messages).
While this arrangement is intuitive, I was wondering if there was anyway I could look at the time when the SMS is sent, as timestamped by the telco. I tried searching but all I found was something similar for Galaxy S, so I was hoping someone can help me out
Have a nice day!
We just need to wait for someone to mod the mms.apk

[Q] App to Send reminders to your friend

Is there any app ( like reQALL, which isn't that user friendly) in which I can send reminders to my friend ( of course if they've installed the same app ) .
e.g: If I've to remind him to call some one at a particular time
I'm using the good old method now, Saving reminder in my mobile and calling him to check with that person
I think I 've asked this question at wrong time.
Looks like i've asked this question at the wrong time where in every one ( including me ) were closely tracking ICS instead of the forum
I'm surprised
I'm surprised to see no replies from XDA . I really thought I will get some answer
Ummm, send a text message. If you need, there are apps that allow you to type a message and have it sent at a particular time.
I'm a bit confused about why you would need an app for this? Can your friend not make a note/calendar entry/alarm for themselves?
Sent from my Evo + MIUI using Tapatalk!
Thanks for the reply Jane. Say Suppose if I want to send it to a group of people ( with Android phone and the app installed in all their mobiles), where in I set an appointment and send it to all of them , a notification pops up whether you want to update your calendar Yes/No . Clicking a Yes makes an entry in his mobile? some thing on this line.
And to answer your other question, Yes he can set a alarm /reminder as well. All the Apps are the just Ideas of making things easy isn't it?
Replying again to push my thread up , Really sorry for the spam I just want the thread to be seen by developer who knows about this .
Suggestion:
Make a Google account, let your friend(s) to sign in. Once you set reminder, everyone will get.
A yay for you?
Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
Thanks for the replies.
I thought I will get some real answers, instead all I've got was workarounds and suggestions. thanks for that anyways.
I will Keep the thread alive for one more day and I will close it, i don't want to spam .
I think this is one kinda app which is not in existence, Developers can take this idea and they can build one if they want it

[Q] Possible for Swipe to Clear Notification Count as READ Message?

Hey guys!
As you can see my first post here although I frequently come to xda to fix any problems I have or to browse roms, I love this website! This is the first time that I couldnt find a thread relating to what I am looking for (I hope I havnt missed it). I was also told to post my question here, originally I had it in Q/A but was told ppl may be able to give me an answer here.
At the moment I am using CM 7.1 on my Desire HD.
I was wondering if it is possible that when I swipe to clear a notification (in particular messages, I used GO SMS for text messages and Whatsapp) that it counts as a 'read' message. At the moment it just removes it from the notification bar although the message is still unread.
I hope I made clear what I am trying to get across.
Any help would be grateful. Is what I am looking for even possible?
Thanks!!
Is it possible to develop somthing like this in an app/kernal/Rom?
Sorry..dont mean to spam but could someone just say if this is a feasible idea?

Importing basic phone Settings to different custom ROM?

Hello,
long time no post here^^
I just got myself an S3 and coming from an i8000 with Window Mobile I had a LOT to read and "study" these past few days^^ (I almost didn't touch a smartphone in 2 years too... long story)
After flashing a couple of ROMs and reinstalling my apps with Titanium Backup, I got a bit bored of having to revise all the Settings manually.
Is there a way to somehow save the many Settings and restore them on a new ROM? On WinMo it was easy to make a .reg file with all my favorite settings to apply on a new ROM but here I have no clue (as I also read it's not possible/good to backup system data from a ROM to a new one)
Any suggestion to at least make the process a bit easier? to at least preserve settings such as my preferred vibration strength, ringtone, screen timeout, font size, etc
Thanks! (and sorry in case I missed something obvious... I exposed myself to really a lot of new stuff in just 2 days and I am bit overwhelmed with searching new apps, ROMs and themes, learning about the OS and rooting, discovering the phone features and accessories/cases, etc)
Not possible at all?
There are multiple posts asking this question .
Use search as i have vowed not to reply to such questions if their is an R in the month .

Would you care to provide me some keywords for my search? I tried something like "import settings to new rom" and the like but nothing relevant come up... just some references to Titanium Backup (as I wrote before in my post) or unanswered questions similar to mine or just about importing apps/contatcs/logs/etc
Thanks anyway
Anyone? the post above gave me some hope but I really can't find anything I wonder what I am doing wrong... usually I am not so dumb @[email protected]
One last try before giving up^^
