Ok...so when you recieve a text...How do you normally have it set up?

A) sound (like a beep or whistle)
B) vibrate
C) sound with vibrate
D) silent--(you check constantly)

OR

E) a song sample

I know there are times where you would just vibrate versus sound.....but NORMALLY which do you use?

    Silent.

    The only sound that didn't annoy me after a while for a texts was the theme song for Pulp Fiction, which I lost somewhere in changing phones.

    Just as an fyi.....vibration uses the battery almost twice as much as ringing. You will find that some days, your phone will die by noon. IF you have availability for it, get a charger for work, or take your charger with you. Most smartphone chargers double as a usb cable. If that is so, just plug it into your laptop or computer. It will charge it up, while at the same time, you can transfer pics into your computer to save memory.

    Thanks for this!

    I was thinking that I can't do vibrate and sound anymore...My old cellphone was the LG ENV...and I could go days with out charging it...

    It's going to take some getting use too...but I do have a car charger, and a house charger..will get an office charger too..

    Yeah, especially if you use your cell phone for work. Just check google. I am pretty sure studies have been done regarding how long of talk time you have per charge, how much screentime you have per charge, as well as ringtime. For instance, the moving background (like the one where the grass sways in the wind, and the sun reflects time of day) will eat your battery alive. Also, be sure to check your ram, to make sure no unneccesary programs are running in the background. This happens with apps that use auto upgrades. Dont use auto upgrades. Whenever you use an app, if they need updating, your phone will let you know. You can then choose to update them all at once. Otherwise, the system is always checking.
