Dumb question that I can't figure out. When I get pictures via sms I don't have an option to save them to my phone... How do I save incoming pictures?

Great post...thanks. Coming from an iPhone 4 and so far am loving it.

Couple of quick questions...by using the task manager button and 'swiping' away recent apps, does this actually fully close the app thereby cutting off data consumption and increasing battery life? If not, should I download a task killer app (which one?)

Also, with regards to launchers...what all does this affect? If I don't like one I install, is it as simple as deleting the launcher and native Sense launcher will be back as good as new?

Thank you in advance!

You don't need a task killer. Android does a great job at memory management.

With the launchers you can either delete it or clear defaults for it and pick the sense launcher again.

Ok. Made the switch from iPhone 4. Am mostly loving the phone (ATT). However, I have several complaints that may work themselves out with a little knowledge.

Battery is not getting me thru a day. Moderate to heavy use: Need to charge by 5pm. Emptied battery yesterday but no help today. I am charging now at 3pm as I have the chance and battery was down to 38% with light moderate (at best) use. Display was 60% and now I have brought it down to 40%. Using Juice Defender Ultimate set to balanced. I have Widget Locker on the lockscreen and a widget for my calendar. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Also, when listening to Audible, when a phone call comes in the book keeps on playing in the background. When listening to Google Music, song stops (great) but after call doesn't come back on. I have to open phone and open the app to manually start the song. Is their any way to make this work properly (iPhone like)?

Random question....again coming from an iPhone 4...do a lot of apps just not run as smoothly as on iOS? For example, when I open basic apps like Facebook or Chase, sometimes they don't refresh, don't load...is this common?

As a side, I don't have a ton of apps on my phone, any space limits, or much running at the same time

After using 5 generations of blackberry am I an arsehole for getting impatient and not waiting for BB 10?7

One thing that's bothering me is the inability to change which calendar an event is in after it's been created. You have to go to the Google calendar full desktop site to do it - seems odd that a Google system doesn't let you edit it direct in the HTC Calendar app, whereas you can in the iPhone calendar app.

Also, text messages show up with the sender's number (rather than name) in the Productivity lockscreen.

This is probably the kind of thing that bugged the initial iOS versions, but that seems so long ago to me now I've forgotten it. Glitches stand out more when you change OS after a few years...

I have a question. Just switched from the iPhone. Is there any way like in IOS that when I touch the top of the screen in the web it brings me to the top of the page.

Thanks for this thread. Been on bb for years and need to know how you all set email rules for alerts. This was a basic function on the bb but that doesnt seem to be the case here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
