Just got my Epic and have some questions.

[sandman512]

1) Trying to transfer a file to the Epic so I can use it as my ringtone and having trouble. BTW, it's a .wma file
2) Is there a setting so I can have the phone Vibrate then Ring?
3)When I receive a text message, is there a way to get a notification number in the messaging icon on the bottom of the screen?
4) I have my EMAIL(YAHOO) all set up. Is there a way to have a number show up there when there is a new email?
5) When the phone goes into standby mode, do you have to press the button on the side to WAKE IT UP or is there an easier way?
Sorry for all the questions!
THANKS!

I can help with the first question.

A wma will not work. This is from the Getting Started with Android - Tips and Tricks

Ringtones, Alerts, and Alarms
? Sound files can be mp3, wav, 3gp, ogg, mp4, or m4a.
? Sounds have to be in the right folder. Connect to your PC as a Disk Drive, create the subdirectories as needed, and copy.
_ ? Ringtones: /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
_ ? SMS Alerts: /sdcard/media/audio/notifications
_ ? Alarm Alerts: /sdcard/media/audio/alarms

3. No, but I would check out popup sms or handcent in the market. not as intrusive as it sounds.
4. Number of new e-mails? drag down the notification bar, it'll tell you how many new e-mails there are before opening up the app.
5. You can also open the keyboard.

You actually can use a WMA as a ringtone. Once you transfer it you just have to long click on the file in the music player and it will bring up the option to use it as a ringtone. I just tried it to confirm.

also get ringdroid, its a music editor to make ringtones, so if you have a full song you can just edit it on your phone then set as ringtone.
