New Android/Incredible user questions..(again)

[Maddingo]

Another Android Newbie post....sorry.

How do I place Folders on the Homescreen that aren't listed in the selection of Folders? (when you tap 'Add to Home') I know I can make a new one but I want a shortcut to a folder I already have. And if I do make a new Folder, where is it located?

Is there a way to make a shortcut for the Homescreen that links directly to a file? (Like a picture or text file)

Using Voice Dial, when I say 'Call "Whoever"' it comes up with choices of contacts phone numbers. How do I get it dial without taping the screen?

I know that Voice Dialing from Bluetooth doesn't work at the moment. Is this something that can never work due to some limitation of the Android OS?

Using Astro file manager I am not able to paste ringtones to the phones storage. Is this a function of the OS or am I doing something wrong?

Is there any program that plays MPG video files?

How do I send music to my Plantronics 925 earpiece? I was able to do this fine on my Touch Pro 2.

I am sure some of these questions have been asked but as we know things are hard to find.

Thanks!

Mike

You can use Astro to make custom folders. Long press on the screen, choose shortcuts then choose Astro File Manager. Navigate to the folder that you want to make a short cut for and confirm. I did this to have quick access to my downloads folder.

As far as moving picture, movie, or video files from one location to the other. I personally find that mounting the phone as a storage device on a pc and dragging and dropping from one folder to the other is the easiest.

I hope this helps.

Voice Dialing w/ Bluetooth was fixed with Froyo. A great app for Voice Search/dialing is Vlingo. It's WAY better then the stock voice search and you can set Vlingo to be the default. Highly recommend it.

I had a Plantronics hands free BT speaker and the music just worked when connected. Not sure what to do with the 925.

Hope this helps.
