Hello Guys,

thanks a ton for your help...

i'm getting more greedy now for more information

one thing i observed is that you cannot download apps from google play to your system; the download will happen only on phone :smileyangry:. it would have been so convenient if we could download apps on pc n den transfer to phone :smileygrin:

I m facing issues with non-gmail mails. i get them on phone only if the office PC is shut. this was not case with BB. I used to get mails on both devices at the same time

Battery backup is the biggest challenge...

Any idea if the above issues can be resoloved

you can ask n number of questions , no problem.

yes you can transfer applicaions by downloading from pc to phone. if you have a wifi connection then i don't think there's any need to tell you those methods

but they have their own things.

i don't know about mails that much but go to settings > accounts and sync and turn auto sync on.
