New to the tp2

[TiPPY2]

Ive had the TP with Sprint and loved everything about it, except for the failing keyboard and the lagging. So naturally when the TP2 came out i was ready for it. After a week of having it, there have been a couple of things that is really making me want to bang my head against the wall . If ANYONE knows how to help fix them I'd greatly appreciate it.

1. Any text messages that i receive or send will stay as a "New Message" and have the message number sky high. How do I "mark them as read" or something because entering and exiting the message thread 45 times to get rid of them does get tiring.

2. My voice command will not work, when it comes to reading the text messages. Ive read all of the forums and followed the instructions, but nothing works.

3. Whats with the internet turning itself on?? im glad i have the unlimited data plan with sprint.

4. My "ring and vibrate" will NOT stay on when i turn the sound up or down. is this a feature that i can turn off? it sucks when i miss important calls when the sound is low and it doesnt vibrate.

I mean i love the phone, and if these things can be changed, i'd love it even more. Also, If these questions or "problems" are posted somewhere else, please let me know. Duplicates of posts annoys me.
