Has anyone got one of these? I've just upgraded to one and have 2 questions that I've been unable to answer by searching google.

How do I change the vibrate length/intensity?

How do I change the font size?

Yep, I found that but it's greyed out

Edit: right, I enabled a few other things and it wasn't greyed out

Just font size to go now, thanks
 
Nope, that didn't work. Just got husband to message me and it's still the long annoying buzz
 
And that's for the touch one, not for notifications
 
Didn't realise that, it would be great if the long buzz could be changed. Only thing I can find on the text size is in message settings, changing that certainly makes my texts a bit better to read.
 
It would be great. The instructions I've found to do it on google have the vibration intensity under the top general menu

The font size was mainly WhatsApp and Texts, and I've found those now, thanks to you for that :D
 
There is lots of apps that can customise your fonts colour etc. Head over to XDA forums to read much more. I have mine on default font btw.

Sorry, another question

If you have three email accounts, how do you get it so you get a notification in the top bar from all three when you get an email in. I've only managed to set up my main home one as the Prime account
 
In social hub I put in my hotmail,yahoo and google emails, I only get notifications from yahoo and hotmail on 1 symbol, the only way I know I have a yahoo email is from the different alert tone I have set it. For some reason social hub doesn't like the gmail, I can't access it through it, but I get those through the gmail app which has a different icon to the others.
 
Have you tried the K-9 Mail app ? It gives me notifications when an email arrives in either of my GMail accounts.

It's a nicer email client all round than the stock and Gmail ones in my opinion and it's got a much cooler icon :D.

Just nipped along to the shop where I got it to ask about the phone getting quite hot while charging and data streaming (nothing to worry about, it's a known thingy) and asked a few questions as the guy had an S2 as well. The vibrate length/intensity won't change so I have to live with the long, strong vibrate (one for you there Matty :p) until ICS comes out on Orange in a few weeks. He also said the same as you. It is because I have it set up on my social hub and he said that wasn't the best thing for me. So I'm going to use the actual gmail app.

Ok, so disregard what I just wrote, I'm going to give that a go then, thanks. :thumbs:

Also, he showed me this really nifty little free app call 3G Watchdog. You can set your data usage to the limit on your plan with your billing date and it will send you a notification of when you're close to your limit. I have mine to notify when 80% used. He suggested this as a better alternative to the Orange Account as it is real time, and Orange tend to have a lag of 24-48 hours. This will be quite useful as I've been used to unlimited data with my Blackberry.

3g watchdog is a good send for heavy data users.
Once ICS is on your phone you will be able to ditch that app as ICS has the same functionality built into it.
