Help Just got this phone -- Can't turn the volume down

Gunna ask more questions because despite the broken volume button, I like the phone so far.

1) How do I text while on the internet when I don't have a pending message in notifications?

2) Why every time I click to go on the internet it's at the page I was on when I closed out the last time? I'd prefer it to open up and be new and such.

Trying to think of more questions.....

You can exchange it at a store right? Make sure you do the cute pouty face at the Metro store you go to, Perhaps they will throw in a free accessory for you and all won't have been lost. Make sure to play the disappointed client! (Gosh I'm bad, I got a free case with both phones I've bought from Metro). XD

But, I do know that instead of just pressing the hang up button to leave the browser you should find the place where it says "Exit" (Press menu > More > Scroll down to exit). I believe when you bring it back up the next time, It will bring up the homepage. Did you turn off the vibration feedback (Your earlier question)?

Thanks! I exited completely. I didn't know how to before lol.

And yes the vibration stopped, thank you!

Do you know how to text while on the internet?

Unless I receive the text message through notifications, I can't seem to access it. I always have to leave the web first. Perhaps someone else can figure this out? Anyone?

Nooooooooo please say it isn't sooooooooooo!

Wait, actually that's okay since I can close out the internet and then be on the same page when I reopen it if I want. On my other phone texting on the internet was impossible.

POS Samsung Messager II.
 
OOOOOOO also. I downloaded LauncherPro, and can't seem to find it in my apps anywhere! But it's running since everything looks different. Why can't I find it?

It's not that bad! Besides, If you are texting you aren't really looking at the internet as the text box will take up the whole screen anyways!

From the Home screen, hit MENU > PREFERENCES.

Some of us also like GoLauncher EX, so...


If you want to remove LauncherPro for whatever reason, go to SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS > MANAGE APPLICATIONS.
 
Hey... just so you know if you're fixin to return that phone, WATCH YOUR TALK TIME. Metro won't take it back if it has an hour or more of talk time on it, so keep your calls short til you get the replacement.
 
I am having a hard time trying to find apps I have installed.

I installed Google Maps and Angry Birds and I can't find them in applications or anywhere. I check the Android Market and it says Installed for both of them.
 
Just take the damn thing back already. :-) You have my word that it's a good phone, you just got a defective one. Get yourself a replacement and start rootin.

This is a great phone especially for the price! I know you want to play with it but remember you'll have to redo everything you do tonight.
This is a great forum and you'll get all the help you need.
 
I have a case on my phone, and the volume buttons work fine. I can push the rocker almost in the middle any it still works. Definitely sounds like you just got a bad one. Don't let it sour you on the ascend its a great phone for the $.
