How to play Music files in the background!! while using normal fuctions on the

or

².

While your music is playing in the E-mail app or playing a preview in the Catalog app, press

+

+ (any jump shortcut letter, except for the "playing" app). Relese the shorcut letter, THEN release the

&

keys AT THE SAME TIME.

Following the steps correctly should jump you to the other application or the jump menu while still playing your music. Jumping back to the e-mail/catalog app should not interupt your selection from playing. Simply jump to your "Email" application to turn off your music or to select another one. The above step is required again if you do just that.

(Kudos to "josenorie" for this tip)

Avoiding "Out of Memory" Errors while using Javascript-Heavy Web Pages

A few things that may help:

1) set e-mail to "view headings only" (this offloads e-mail text from the device to the server, thus saving memory)

2) empty "trash" from as many apps as you can

3) clean out un-needed data (old e-mails you don't need to save, old pics you can offload to photobucket or an e-mail account)

4) uninstall seldom used apps (these, under 2.3, can be re-installed later as needed)

5) soft-reset device (this can clear out memory of unneeded stuff)

6) clear cache & history in browser app (if you clear "cookies", all your previously saved passwords and web site settings will be removed)

7) turn graphics off in browser app (this removed graphics while allowing more memory)

If all else fails, consider turning off javascript and re-loading the page. Many pages work fine or mostly fine without it (though you may lose some functionality)

To set an alarm through the calendar application:
1. Make a new event on the day you want the alarm to go off.
2. Set the time of the event to when you would like the alarm to go off at.
3. Check the box next to the word "Reminder".
4. Choose how much earlier you would like the alarm to go off before the event time.
5. After setting the event and you are back on the main calendar screen, press menu then click settings. Change the "Event reminder ring" to what you want the alarm to sound like.
