      aida, 16 Dec 2010hi ryo.. i want ask u 1 question.. how can i put a song as ringtone?? thanx..Connect the phone to your computer via the USB cable
      Open the Notifications screen on your phone (pull down a finger from the top of the screen to the bottom) and select the USB Storage notification
      Choose “Mount”
      Browse to the SD Card on your PC
      Look for a folder called media, if it’s not there, create it by right clicking and choosing New Folder, then rename the folder to be media
      Inside the media folder, you need a folder called audio, again, if it’s not there create it as above
      Inside the audio folder, you can create a subfolder for the sound category you want to change-
      ringtones – for sound files you want to use as ringtones
      alarms – for sound files you want to use for any alarms
      notifications – for incoming notifications such as SMS alerts, emails, etc
      Copy the sound or music file which you’d like to use as your ringtone in to the relevant folder
      You should now see your sound or music file listed in the menu for selection in the relevant sound settings menu
      (to access the ringtone/notification settings, press the hard Menu key from one of your home screens, then press Settings then Sounds and Display)

                                mjhames, 15 Dec 2010i think my battery is draining too fast compared before it's upgraded, is it the same as yours?nope, my battery is fine.. even it longer than eclair.
                                maybe you have to uninstall apps that drain battery fast. for example battery widget or the others.

                                don't forget to close gps, wifi, bluetooth if u don't need those services.. :)

                                    ryo, 15 Dec 2010it depends on application you've installed. ask for the dev if their apps support app2sd or not.i think my battery is draining too fast compared before it's upgraded, is it the same as yours?
