How did you turn off the sound on the swype keyboard? Thanks!

under settings->keyboard->swype settings

Is there a way for the moto clock widget to open the clock and alarm app? If not I do not see how motorola missed that.

not sure if any of you have come across this yet, but when your phone is ringing, you can flip the phone to face down and it will swap it to vibrate (great for if you are in a meeting and forgot to silence your phone)

Yeah, that is pretty cool. There's an option in the settings to turn that on or off as well as double tapping the screen to silence the ringer.

Ringtone for contacts

go into contacts select the contact you want push menu then edit scroll down and you should see additional info expand that and scroll down and you should see call handling ringtone select the arrow and pick the ring tone you want.

You can edit Beautiful Widgets Home without deleting/recreating it.
Just tap on the weather portion to go into the extended forecast, then click the Settings button and you can change the skin and/or configuration from there.

Facebook and contact question

Don't add your facebook or your contacts will auto sync with your friends. Instead download facebook and use syncmypix just to synch the photos. Also get sms-pop up

How do you syncmypix with facebook and your contacts???

Swype cursor control and edit keyboard is accessed by dragging the Swype key to the Sym key. Much better editing function!

Download bloo 1.5 if you use facebook chat, version 1.5 isn't in the market or appbrain but you can download the apk file at BLACKDROID.NET - BETA

you also get instant notification and stay logged in.

1. Open the music app
2. Play a song
3. Put the phone to sleep
4. Press the power or home button to wake it and you should see a music widget to reverse, skip, or pause songs without unlocking the device

Does this only work if the "pattern lock" is not enabled?

Oh dear god. Best. Tip. Ever. (Minus the battery tab tip for the few it saved from having their warrenty voided)

I don't know anything about the battery tab tip, but I second your nomination of the swype edit tip being the best ever.

Battery tab tip = dont pull the tab off your phone that says "pull" under your battery. Seems kind of oxymoronic.

You just gently tug straight up to lift the battery out.
