Hi All,
My first post here.
I have recently purchased a Note II, coming from an iPhone 4s.
Thoughts so far in my 4 days with the phone. I love it. Great screen size, but will take me some time to get used to a few things on it!
Couple of questions I was hoping somebody may be able to help with:
- The iPhone had a great search function. If I started typing it would search through my contacts, emails, etc. So if I was looking for a particular email in my inbox, even if it was months old, it would bring it up if I typed a part of the subject or the sender name, etc. I really miss this feature - is there anything remotely similar on the Note II?
- I have set up my emails on the phone. For some reason, I am unable to edit my Sender name, so it displays as the first part of my email address (the part before the @). Rather than my name. I have tried all sorts to change this. I have even deleted and re-added the accounts, but the option to alter sender name for some reason is removed so I am unable to change it on 2 of my email accounts. Whereas on the third one, the option is there and I can change sender name. Any way of doing it? IS it a bug? It is driving me mad!
- Also, trying to get used to the way of typing on the phone! When I enter a word, it helpfully comes up with a suggestion at the top of the keyboard if I misspell. However, is there any way to set the phone to automatically correct what I write, saving me moving hand up to click top of keyboard each time?
I look forward to advice on the above!
And I look forward to contributing to these forums with help for others as I hopefully pick up more and learn more about the phone. Seems the features are endless!!
