Do I actually have to charge the phone for 3 hours before I use it or will it be ok if I just use it now?
Lucky you
Just charge the battery until it's full
I am sure you could start using when it bears sufficient charge. The Nexus One too did take the same time during its initial charge...it was very slow as I remember...
In any case it is better having the phone with you rather than us who will receive it on Monday..
I am sorry guys ... monday is not that long away
i do not want to use my phone before i get a screen protector or case lol
but the phone looks good

In my opinion the ringer volume is good! It is quite loud!!!
I have found the text to speech thing so i guess you can do that as well
I shall try that later after I have seen what else you can do!

You could try downloading "Better Keyboard". It costs some money, but it has the "Speech to Text" Button and if you dont like it you can get your money back in the next 24 hours!

But text-to-speech? There's a Microsoft Sam on these phones?

Don't think u can with SmartToolKit
You know CTScheduler is cheap for what it does, set up clean RAM every 6 hours, restart phone when asleep, text the gf without me having to use the phone and more........
I have been using snooze for about a year now with no problems, it is a free alarm program that can do about anything.
Here is where you can download it.

Yeah you can. Pull up the start menu and arrow right to get to the next page...then choose "My Schedules" then press the right soft button and choose to create a new schedule. You then have the choices of scheduling phone restarts, programs to run, etc.
Hope this help!

Hi, I wondered if anyone has come across an app which will speak alerts to me?
Perhaps something like "Text message from Jemima Puddleduck" and "Email from John Doe".
And preferably in a human sounding voice, not that abomination that is the standard Android text-to-speech!
Any ideas?
check out "Vlingo" or "edwin"
Just tried both, but neither does what I want :-(

you won't find any. An app would be alot more than the usuall 0.5 to 2mb. My reason for saying that you won't find any is because the app would have to know every name (and surname!) in the world, also any nickname etc! You'd proboly find that would tell who it is just by spelling the name out letter by letter, and even that wouldn't be very smooth (tone between letters and speed).
hope this helps! good luck!

I don't know if you're right. I don't think it would take that much space. Sure it wouldn't fit in 2megs, but I reckon fifty megs would be sufficient for all known English names. That's just a figure pulled out of my arse btw!
How about a custom message tone for a person that is a recording you have made. You would have to record a message for each person you want this for, Not the most user friendly way but will do what you want.

woow, no need for that kind of sh!t anyways.. what if you have someone saved in as a nickname (Ginger, Gypsy, my 2 favorite contacts ;D) then it would not tell you who was calling you cos the app would not know how to pernounce it..
hope this helps! good luck!

One of the best apps out there is called Tasker. It can do everything! One of it's tricks is you can set it up to read your text messages out.
Is quite tricky to get used to at first, but once you 'click' with it, its fantastic.
It costs £4 (which is a bargain IMO) but there is also a free 1 week trial.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Agree with Tasker, I am using it
BUT .... BUT ...
It does NOT have this say NAME feature.
Tasker can only say the phone number.
The developer plan to add this feature in the next release ... Which we don't know when ... or NEVER

Nice one! This does pretty much what I want, and you can customise it quite a bit too - thanks very much
Hello,
Is it possible to customize the pre-defined SMS messages with which you can reject calls? As most calls that I get are from Swedes it feels silly to send them English language "can't answer right now" messages. Typing a new "non-canned" message every time is not an option. Especially as there is no Swedish spell-checker in ICS yet...
Grateful for any help/M

Yes, there is. Google is your friend
http://www.google.com/help/hc/pdfs/mobile/AndroidUsersGuide-40-en.pdf
Still, the manual doesn't have a lot of information. I think it's up to you to explore the phone (and this forum) to discover the nice things inside.
Many thanks forumache. /M
I dictate a fair amount of my text messages and, quite often, my standard English is replaced by slang. For example, when I say "want to" it is replaced by "wanna." Anyone know how to disable this "feature?"

speak more clearly? as in, enunciate the gap between "want" and "to"
Itl be a few years before these new voice apps clearly repeat normal everyday slang /mumble mumble just as we state it.. All u can do is speak slow and clear and pronunciate words clearly

Hello,
I've noticed that I cannot see the time stamps of messages. I'm curious to know if we can enable the time stamps in messages. Or slide the message to the left or right to get the time stamp as it works in iMessage...
Just give the message bubble a tap and you'll see the time stamp.

At least for the "Korean/Japanese"...
If I'm understanding correctly, try changing the language to English -- drag down notification bar, click the cog, go to System (second option from the bottom), then Languages & Input (selection the topmost option), Language Preferences (topmost option), and move English to the top (hold down 3 lines next to it) and/or click green plus on the bottom of the list and add English (US)....
If I'm understanding correctly, you trying to work your phone when everything is in Asian lettering would make things exponentially more difficult to figure out and troubleshoot...
Good luck to ya and hope this helps...
