Theyre are several pieces of software to give you a more loud of a ring. Also you have to know what bitrate and kbps your custom ringers are. Believe me, I have ti turn mine down sometimes. Issue resolved

WTF? I use mine at night sometimes to see where I am going, an NO I am not talking about using the LED for the camera. I am talking about using the backlight. Are you referring to using yours at night/dark or in the day such as in the direct sunlight? I havent seen very many LCDs at all that work good in sunlight.

There are a TON of reg edits you can do to speed up the device. Stop the menu animations and increase cache. Plus you can overclock the device from 416 to 624 and it is much faster. issue resolved.

It barely has any hardware/physical buttons on it so how can you go wrong? If you are talking about software/on screen buttons they can all be moved around or enlarged with serveral types of software or pre-made items made by developers.

With a standard OEM battery I last all day and most of the night. That is with me talking on it several times and doing lots of txt msgs. I likely hit 50-100 txt everyday and then means a lot of vibrating on the device for me.

There are several 3rd party backup apps you can use. I used to use SPB Backup but now mainly use Clone.

Yes, I love my physical KB. I have an iPhone an using the KB on it takes some getting used to and I still have to be more careful because I cannot feel the keys.

I left Sprint a long time ago anyway. But now it seems I am about to leave VZW also.
