OK, i understand about searching. But you may have noticed how I gave examples of what I have already tried etc., I am not just looking to be spoon-fed. And yes....I missed the ring and vibrate setting, sorry.
Many of the items you have graciously shared, and I do thank you, I have tried or at least looked for; for example, on #7 -I am aware of the setting to respond to a call with a text, and the place to have that message pre-typed; but I'm accustomed to having a "list" of these pre-typed messages to choose from depending on the occassion- that is what I was hoping for.
I'll check out your recommendations for #1, I have played with the settings and they will not do what I'm looking for- trying to get the device to turn back off (say, if I don't press another certian button) when the power button is bumped accidendly but not turn off after only a few "dormant" seconds the rest of the time when I am trying to use it.
I have not seen anything out there on #2, and everything I have found on #6 has issues that are deal breakers- hoping for more options but have not been able to find any.
Thanks for your responses.
