2013-08-24 Thread E. Wayne Brumley
I did a bit of researching in the archives today and a bit more on Google but did not find an answer to the issue of contact ringtones not playing instead of the default. Has anyone found any resolution to the problem? I can assign a ringtone to default and it plays nicely. If I put

Ok David, figured out what you were trying to convey. Using the close button as you have described it below is a bit slow and kind of a pain for me. Again, for me, just me. After experimenting, I did find that using my swiping technique is faster and results are more consistent and easily

Go to settings, general, keyboard, international, and look for emoji. Once you select that, on your keyboard when you're typing in a text box, it will be another icon that will say next keyboard. Double tap that to toggle between the image the keyboard and the regular keyboard Chuck (mobile)

Hi, I’d like to think that that falls under an NDA, which means it’s illegal to disclose that info in that form until the release has been made public. Would a list moderator please clarify this for me? I take the premature posting of things like this to public lists/forums extremely seriously.

I'm simply posting the person's podcast. It seems your issue lies with him since he probably signed the non-disclosure agreement and not any of us. I seem to recall he also explains this NDA business a bit at some point during the podcast. You also don't have to listen to it, right? Not trying
