MP3 can be set as ringtones, BUT they need to be in the ringtones directory. Workable idea is to use Ringdroid (or similar) to crop the portion of the MP3 you want from your Music directory and save it separately in Ringtones.

Plenty of widgets to control volume/profiles. Audiomanager Pro lets you create profile widgets. I use Extended Controls which lets you build your own widget with exactly the controls you want on it. It's not perfect (as it hasn't been updated for ICS yet) - GPS toggle and APN toggle take you into the settings menus - but it has been (and will be once updated) a top notch widget.

Volume - Try Volume+.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arun1uk:
My findings:

Pro:

- Great screen, however, I really dont think it's a big leap in quality over my old Galaxy S, let alone the S2.

- Great speed, hasnt slowed down once, nice and fast and no crashing.

- Good interface. Love ICS

- Good reception and call quality

Cons:

- Low ringer volume and notification sounds

- LED notifications only flash once, would be nice for it to keep flashing intermittenly so you know you've got a notification, rather than having to turn it on.

- The pull down notification bar does not have quick access to the power bar (as per Galaxy S). That was really useful, so if you're in an app you can turn on Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS etc, rather than having to go to the home page and doing it from there. Very annoying!

- No native video player to recognise .avi, .mkv files. Had to buy Dice Player.

- No Swype!!!

- No return key when texting

- No external storage

- Annoying browser experience. If you want to go to a bookmark, you have to press a button to go to the tabs, then another button to go to favourites, then another to select the favourite! Very poor process.

- Poor widgets for the homescreen (I want a nice looking clock). Wont pick up my location automatically, either, for weather updates.

- Poor camera application.

I realise the phone is in it's infancy, with many updates to come, but coming from a very accomplished phone, it's taking some getting used to, and some things which are a step backwards!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
This is a touchwiz thing. however lots of apps do this in market place. I use notifications shortcuts.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Android has never had a carriage return button on the stock keyboard for text messages. Manufacturer modifications to Android may have this feature, but that would be down to the specific variant (HTC Sense, Samsung TouchWiz, etc).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruthlesset:
This was true with Nexus S too. The solution is to create a folder "/media/audio/ringtones/" and copy your mp3s there. The other option is to use an app.

Hope this helps...

Finally able to update OTA.

JUst wondering whether i will lose root is i do. I recall i didnt when i went from rooted 2.3.2 to 2.3.3. Also i didn't lose any of my data either when performing OTA.

Can anyone confirm this is still the case on 2.3.4 OTA firmware?

Thanks
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reapman:
I did the OTA from 2.3.3 (UK ROM, but live in Canada) - had no issues. Root was still there (confirmed via Titanium Backup) lost no data.

Just to be on the safe side I recommend you first make a backup with Titanium (or something) and copy your SD Card contents - it was completely unnecessary when I did my update, but better to have it and not need then the alternative.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielEGVi:
It won't delete anything. Just remember that OTA updates will brick your phone if you unlocked bootloader without SEtool/SEMC (eg. Sony Ericsson Unlock Bootloader Instructions Page). Happened to me once ;) And always backup, who knows if your phone explodes in the process and your SD card magically survives? Who knows these days...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ps3taker:
Can someone remind me where in the menu ota lives. I seem to be missing it. Did previous two updates some time ago but don't find where in the menu it was. Thanks in advance
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielEGVi:
It lives in Settings -> Sony Ericsson -> Software Update, also Settings -> About Phone -> Software Update. At least that's what I see on every generic stock rom for the r800i.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ps3taker:
Thanks, that's where i remember it from before but it is missing now. I suspect i froze something what hides it. Will check out the titanium backup later. Thank you very much again.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielEGVi:
Nah, there's no problem. Check anything marked in green that is frozen, even frozing SE's bloatware can break something. By the way, thanks for giving my first thanks to my thanks meter, let's get that b-tch to over 9000!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ps3taker:
Thanks again. I unfroze update center and it appeared under the "about phone" menu but not in the "sony ericsson" one and I cannot figure out what it could be. Also when I try to update it just gives me the message to basicly do it via PC. I'm confused if it is the new and only way or if something is wrong on my side and if it would normally work to update over wifi on its own. Thanks in advance

^^^ by the way I updated to the previous 2.3.3 in canada over wifi. Maybe UK wifi is forcing me to do it via PC...

Download the official stock ROM from LG:

1. type http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=XX....XX in address bar of your browser. replace XX....XXX with your IMEI number, you can find it from your handset (Settings-->About Phone-->Status).

2. browser will return a long string which contains a URL of a .kdz file (look for http://........kdz). copy that URL and put it in browser address bar and save that .kdz file to your disk. this kdz file is the most updated stock ROM for your phone.

Read following post and follow it step by step (You already have your ROM file so you don't have to download it again) then your phone will back to stock ROM. You can do a factory reset after flash if you want.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1287236

Good luck!
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
To flash a .kdz, you need stock recovery, so that wont help.

I think Smartflash can do it though. Failing that, use this to revert to stock recovery: http://android.modaco.com/topic/336320-4-apr-r1-stock-recovery-image

Ps. You don't need stock recovery to do a factory reset, custom ones can do it too.
[LG Optimus 2x] hkkp:
Well, it works for me. I flash my phone back to V10f (my original ROM file) followed that post, then flash to V20 ROM, and again flash back to V10f, then update to V20d using LG Mobile Tools. No error at all.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
So I was in Paris a few days ago and walked into an Orange store.. I asked one of the salesmen when they were expecting the Galaxy Nexus, he laughed at me and said "that device is over a year old, we don't have it anymore!". When I told him that I wasn't talking about the Nexus S but about the new Galaxy Nexus, he looked at me with a puzzled face and told me that he never heard of it and that that device probably doesn't exist!

I asked around in a few other stores as well and they all gave me the same answer.. I speak fluent French so no getting lost in translation here. Sad to see people working in the mobile industry who have no clue about one of the most anticipated smartphones to hit the market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neville.Holland:
It’s really shocking that we (read: the population) relies on these “experts” to advise. Yet a high number don’t even know where the entrance to their shop is; let alone what is on the market and round the corner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] willouf:
In France, Orange choose to not sell the Galaxy Nexus.

SFR will do but only around mid-december,besides i heard they have 3 weeks of exclusivity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franck~:
Will Virgin Mobile France get it?

Fluent (native) French too and I had the exact same experience last week even at an SFR store! They just don't know anything about their new products coming in until they actually get them.

I was wondering if anyone knows if Virgin Mobile France is going to get it after SFR exclusivity? (Of course Virgin France is unable to answer my question)...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
From bad to worse..

SO I'm back in Dubai now, I decided to call Samsung UAE to see if they knew anything about the release date (all phones here are sim-free, we do not have provider phones or contracts).

So I call 800-SAMSUNG and ask about the Galaxy Nexus, the Samsung Rep DID NOT KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT (again asked me if I meant Nexus One or Nexus S)!!! He had to go to the website and see that the phone was indeed listed, I tried to ask him about some specs but had to stop when I realized I was torturing the guy.

It's bad enough for a cellular service provider to not know about the phone, but when Samsung employees don't even know about the existence of one of their most anticipated products, it makes me want to slam my head against the wall!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] missmayhem:
I went to several stores these last days, trying to get a Galaxy Nexus... To no avail!

I first went to Orange and SFR stores; nobody was aware of the Galaxy Nexus. The salesman at SFR even refused to believe that a device with android 4 was already out and working: "you must be mistaking, android 4 is not to be expected before late 2012 at best".

It was no way better at Orange where this phone was also unheard of.

I won't purchase a contract with Bouygues because their network lags far behind both Orange and SFR, so I didn't bother giving this carrier a try.

I also went to The Phone House (Carphone warehouse stores are so called in France) and was provided, if not with the phone, at least with some information. SFR has historically been the first carrier to provide Google's handsets, so the Galaxy Nexus should be available soon. On the salesman's computer, the phone was already listed and priced (9 to 149 € depending on the contract, much more of course for the handset sold alone) but not made available yet. He was unable to give me a precise release date, hopefully before the end of the year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FlameEffex:
I'm in Amsterdam for work for the time being, and the Galaxy Nexus is EVERYWHERE here. Hard to believe they don't have it in Paris which is just 3 hours away... Anyways... catch a train and come get one :P

I'm waiting to get back to Texas in a week or two to buy mine :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] missmayhem:
Yep! Thalys POWER!

The Galaxy Nexus is listed on SFR website, but there is no way to get it at their stores. that's a shame...

I think they just don't bother with phones that are not readily available.

I may end up ordering it online, but that's a shame!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
I actually ended up ordering it online from expansys.ae, which is just a front for the UK Expansys site. However they shipped my phone from their warehouse in France (in Montpelier I think), so luckily I speak french and was able to call them to get info on my shipment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rahan95:
It's always the same with SFR : they deal exclusive contracts with manufacturers (all the Palm Pre range, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, etc...) preventing those with a contract with another carrier to purchase these handsets but they never have them available in their shops =(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr_stone:
I had similar experience in one of the Carphone Warehouse stores in UK - the guy didn't know about GN. O2 and Phone4U shops had the phone in stock, but refused to show it to me - saying that they are not allowed to display it yet. I didn't even bother with Orange or Vodafone. So in the end, I walked into 3 store, where they had GN on display and sales person actually knew the prone quite well, so this is where I bought mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
Same here. Three seem to be the only place taking this phone seriously and giving it a proper launch and publicity. The salesman knew all about the GN and it's all over Three's website, twitter and Facebook. I'm impressed with both the; phone and network. I got mine from them three days after release.

Rik
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] missmayhem:
I got it!

I went back to the SFR store in forum des halles yesterday, and to my surprise, the galaxy nexus was available.

This store is located in one of the busiest shopping mall in Paris, and they are arguably amongst the biggest SFR stores in France. There is a large variety of devices on display, including the "old" Nexus S, but no advertising about the Galaxy Nexus. I had to ask the saleswoman and she had to check whether the GN was in stock.

They sell the GN reluctantly... Is it because there is no SIM locking on google phones, maybe so...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jitno:
Awesome, thanks for the update missmayhem! Did you have a choice of plans, or did they force you to sign up for the 99,90€ ($136) monthly Carré ABSOLU plan? I read about that in this article: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Galaxy-Nexus-Incredibly-Cheap-at-SFR-Priced-at-9-90-13-5-233504.shtml

If possible I would prefer to pay a little more for the Galaxy Nexus up front and have a lower monthly plan cost!!

+++++
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] missmayhem:
I actually took up the Carré absolu contract because I needed an unlimited plan, but as far as I understood, the galaxy nexus is also available with a wide range of plans (at higher rates of course)

I pay 109 € a month, with a 12 months commitment... that may sound pretty damn expensive, but bear in mind that it's an all-inclusive plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jitno:
Orange??

I had heard that SFR only had exclusivity on Galaxy Nexus for a very short period... anyone hear anything about when it should come out with Orange? Would love to get it on Orange, but may not be able to wait more than a week longer at the most! Crossing my fingers...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danimar1:
It is not only in France that this is happening, while I was hunting for it on several electronics shops I got all kind of stupid answers, from 'this doesn't exist', to 'you must be confusing it with the Galaxy S or the Nexus S'. But the most amazing answer I got was: 'if there was a new Nexus I would know about it'
