Hi everyone I have just received my X1 and am very lost with everything it can do.
I am wanting to use my own sounds for email notification and text messaging. How do I do this?
Also, how do I make sure that when i am web browsing, I am using WiFi and not GPRS etc.
Thanks
You can either put the sounds on the root of ur sd card or the root of the phone i believe. I suggest the SD card (if you don't have one get one immediately ) Then all you have to do is go into sounds and pick the ones u want.
To make sure ur using wifi you can just turn on wifi and connect. I'm pretty sure wifi overrides any connection you have established. Also if you want to be 100% sure u can turn off the phone service in the comm manager.
About sounds:
As far as I know they must be on Memory, not SD Card.
There's also a separated default folder > My Documents > My Ringtones,
put it there.
Reagrding WiFi it does NOT automatically override any connection,
here we go:
Install NoData free app.
Turn this on to NOT transfer any network data.
Connect to WiFi.
All the browsers I tried (Opera Mini 4.2, Opera Mobile 9.5)
automatically connect by WiFi, so don't worry.
Email NOT.
So you have to go to email account settings
and in advanced server settings instead of your providers network
choose "The Internet" to connect to sync emails.
Violaa, the email account also connects through WiFi.
Without this setup you'll get errors.
Hope that helps.

They can definitely be put on the root of ur SD card. Not sure if you can put them anywhere else on your sd card but thats where i keep my ringtones.

Okay, than my mistake.
I have put the files I want into my ringtones, but it won't let me select as tone for incoming email or received text message
For ringtones you can have them on the phone or sd card... mine are in a folder called rintones on the sd card... but for sms notification music I have had to put in in the windows folder as it didnt work elsewhere... (under My Device/Windows)
It wasnt listed in the choices of tones for messaging, so I connected the phone to the PC, then copied/pasted the files to the Windows folder of the phone. Now they are there
Hmmm never knew that. Good info though. I haven't changed my sms notification sound in like 5yrs lol...

Well you don't have to connect it to PC to copy and paste files.

Not having much luck Smudge? Try this
Hi Smudge,
There was a thread about this very issue a while back
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448749&highlight=notification
You need to follow the instructions in Xperian's post, he has it figured out pretty damn well and the walkthrough will enable you to create any tone in the correct format for notification use.
Hope this helps,

when i click on my "Me" contact card and try to set a pic for it, a menu pops up "Album" and "Camera", when i click album, its says no pics available...but i have alot on my sd card....anyone know how to do this?
no one knows?
i set mine by doing the following
in people i went to edit, for my own contact details.
clicked on the picture frame on the left hand side and it gave me the option to set my picture using my facebook profile......
thats how i got mine done......hope that helps
Going the facebook profile picture works, the other options don't work (known issue on Hero)
yesterday i came across an interesting thing. a friend of mine wanted me to send him a vcard of a contact via E-Mail. i thought that wouldn't be a problem, opened contacts and saw, that there was no option for that. and since MMS are fairly expensive in germany and e-mails are free i wanted to find a way to send it as an e-mail.
"Send Contact" only offers Beam or SMS/MMS
"Send as vCard" automatically opens up MMS
(see Screenshot #1)
but here is the solution for that!
1. Click Send as vCard
2. A new MMS opens (see Screenshot #2)
3. Press the Home key
4. Open a file explorer and navigate to \My Documents\UAContents\MMS UA\temp\
5. There is a file called 0_vCard
6. Copy that file to the Storage Card
7. Close the MMS, running in the background
8. Navigate to the Storage Card
6. Click 'n' hold the file and select Send (see Screenshot #3)
7. Select an Account (E-Mail)
8. you are ready to send the vCard as a file attachment (see Screenshot #4)
I know, this seems rather complicated and is probably not every day stuff to most of you, but it is good to know, that it is possible to do it. the most important thing, is to know, where the temporary vcard is stored. you could use the same way to beam the vcard via bluetooth, which is also not a standard option, or also for any other file type that can just be sent through MMS in the standard definition. still i think it is ridiculous, that you'd have to go through 8 steps and fumble around multitasking just because they "forgot" to put more options in that menu.
i hope you can use this information, just wanted to share my find
with best regards

Hi
I was trying to send a contact to my friend with the same phone
found it in contact list
hold click - send contact information
sent it by txt as words
I tried send namecard via
messaging
- may have converted to mms
- they received unknown.vcf
- click message plays nothing (scroll bar at bottom) MMS
- menu button
- attached items
- select tick box unknown.vcf
- "attachment copied to sd card"
-file manager - i think it was downloads
then it says save to 2 choices her email?? or phone??
both didn't work
i went to the default file browser on her phone to search for it later
the default file manager has no search??
i sent it via the built in gmail app
it removed the attachment every time
isn't it by K9 it got there but doesn't open
- attached items
- select tick box unknown.vcf
- "attachment copied to sd card"
-file manager - i think it was downloads
then it says save to 2 choices her email?? or phone??
both didn't work
How can i send a phone number to my friend? so it just pops up in her identical phone?
i think blue-tooth works but no good if she's not in the room.
it's blowing my mind
just get one of those QR code addons and make one on your phone and have your friend scan it
There is a BusinessCard application from Samsung Apps. It gives basic function for sending and importing vcf over SMS.
Otherwise, you can try search for such app from Market.
Try the app - Bump. I have it, but havent used it yet. seem's like it would be a simple cool app.
cheers i'll try it
I had someone send me some photos via MMS and while a thumbnail shows up OK in my messages, I can't copy them or find them among the photos on my phone. The copy function isn't working and when I try to forward them I get an error. Is there any way to copy or save them?

Click on the photo under your messages. It will maximise, then click on the three ... at the bottom of the screen and save to phone.. Saved and done!
