1- How to disable the data cab warning


Android 4.x has a feature that will warn you if your data usage is going above certain amount of limit, and will pop a warning to let you pay attention to this action of passing the limit. To stop the waring from popping up you need to increase the amount of data useage you could have.

3- How to increase Battery life

l Increasing Battery life is really easy, turn off the things you don't need on always, I turn of my GPS - WiFi and Data ....and turn them on only when I need to check the e-mail or browse the internet. you could customize the top drop down menu for easy on-off switch.

4- How to erase history from some apps

Go to Setting-->Apps Clear data (will make the app reset from the beginning) Clear Cash will only delete the temp file the app use.

be warned that Clearing the data of an app does not remove files that you downloaded to a folder into your SD or Internal Storage card... they have to be deleted manually.... you might also want to hold on the "Home" button and slide out the app from the fast switch list.

5- How to Turn my phone into a Wifi Hotspot
Disable your Wifi and enable your data (4G) than open up the 4G Mobile HotSpot (you must disable your Wifi)

6-Why does my screen keep dimming and timing out so quickly, Even after setting it not to?
Try to increase the Front key light and see if that help.

7-I cannot send picture messages?
You need MetroPCS data connection to be able to send and receive MMS, make sure that data is enabled (not just Wifi)

8-I cannot figure out how to turn off the Lock screen
Settings-->Lock Screen--->Select Lock Screen-->Non
 
I knew about all this in the first 15 minutes of having the motion, most of these are just ics functions that come with all newer phones. Good job though, a thread for new motion users is much needed.
 
5- How to Turn my phone into a Wife Hotspot
Disable your Wifi and enable your data (4G) than open up the 4G Mobile HotSpot (you must disable your Wifi)

Thanks for the info but I don't think MY wife would appreciate that!!!
