My only complaints for the Epic/Android vs webOS are: Installing updates for applications is a chore vs just tapping one button to install all updates. If I don't update daily my market apps and there's a dozen with updates, its a CHORE. Needless. Calendar notifications are also a chore to...

Heh. I do like the way it looks, especially the keyboard! But I'm going to wait at least a few days to see some more "in hands" comments from others. Still reading some folks doubting the GPS lock especially vs the Evo. But I hear ya. ;)

From what I've seen all the Galaxy S phones seem to share the same 1500 battery.

Also, if you're toying with alternate launchers, I can't recommend Home Switcher enough. Allows you to set your launcher default, quickly and easily. If you switch the default back to Touchwiz, getting back to the selection or having another as default requires something like this (or...

My GPS doesn't work, even using all the "tips" here and else where... It can take upwards of 15 minutes to get a lock standing outdoors on a clear day.

Interesting, I'm going to give Samsung another week and a half to come up with a fix for this (my GPS is also completely hosed) but I think I'll be in the same boat (hitting up the 30 day window)

I've got my ringtones and notifications set up, all customized. Now, how can I set a calendar alarm/event up so I can hear a customized sound? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I've tried everything tweak-wise to get GPS working and it doesn't work for my phone most of the time. I did have one night where I walked outside and got a quick lock inside 20 seconds, but most of the time my phone (before and after every tweak I've seen: I've tried them all...

Ringdroid and Ringo Lite also allow assigning ringtones to google-hosted contacts. I had to restart my Captivate for the assigned ringtones to work, though. YMMV

Check out this thread in the captivate board, seems to be mostly figured out how to do this there: http://forum.androidcentral.com/t-captivate/23489-how-set-up-individual-ringtons.html

I found you can create the phone contact with ringtone, link to the google contact, and then unlink the two and remove the phone contact. Seems to also work for those that don't want that extra linked contact. And to make this weirder, I've found that assigning ringtones to contacts (either...

There are checkboxes next to each email message, tapping on the first one brings up three buttons (Mark unread/read, Add star, Delete). Keep tapping on all the ones you want to remove and there you go...

Possible bug? No way to do it OOB, but got Ringdroid and it **appeared** to work (set up a ringtone, added the "Ringtone" field to the contact I wanted, etc), but when that contact called, still stock ringtone. I've sent an email to Samsung support to see if there's a reason this isn't working...

Droid X contest Droid X will rock because its HOT and c'mon... X marks the SPOT. DROID!
