Video Ringtones - G1 General

Video Ringtones - G1 General

So here I am thinking I have the best phone on the market and come to find out that my sister's LG Lotus can actually play videos when someone calls her.
A little video on the front of her phone plays when someone calls her and she has different videos set for everyone that calls her. But she's complaining that she can't set individual ringtones for each person's text message.
The G1 can do that with ringo pro so why not videos?
I'm sure there is way to make the G1 do it anybody have any idea?

Why don't you e-mail the devs of Ringo pro and suggest this as a feature. I assume that they currently interupt the nomal ringing process to check who is ringing and play the assosiated tone so it wouldn't be a big step to play a video instead.
Personally, I'd rather drink vomit then have that on my phone, but hey

I agree.
I use to have a Nokia flip phone that use to play videos as ringtones. Cannot remember which one, but it was free when I first signed up for t-moble. It's one of those things that if you had, you wouldn't use it. (Unless your a 15 year old girl)

Search google for a mp3-wav converter, cant remember which one i use but will update post when i get home and check.
Remember also a mp3 song converted to wav form will be a very BIG file, better to sample just a small ( very small ) section of the track and then use this for sms notifications.

There is a program called phonealarm that you can use, you can choose any sound you like for SMS.

First post....hello everybody.

I use Audacity (free) to edit MP3 first by selecting the part of the song or clip I want to use as a alert. Then you can remove one channel (right or left) which cuts down the size quite a bit. As far as I know all PPC speakers are MONO so there is no need for a stereo ring-tone or SMS alert. You can also change the bit rate but don't go to low or your sound will be distorted. Audacity also allows you to adjust the volume of the output alert so you can have a nice loud sound and attract allot of attention when you pull your phone out. LOL.
Also Remember that a SMS alert is (I think) shorter than a ring tone alert. (ring tone alert is between 30 and 35 seconds) I wont get my 8525 till Monday but I have a E-TEN M600 and I believe the length of the SMS is the same as the 8525/Tytn.
One thing to note: you can mute a ring-tone when someone calls but I have not found a way to mute or stop a SMS alert when it comes in.
After you have the perfect RT/SMS alert as a MP3 find a free app out there that will convert it to a .wav. I use a app that came with Nero.
You can also try Ringo. This is a app that will allow you to assign a different sound to any incoming sms message.
ie. I get a traffic update via SMS everyday before I go to work and I assigned the sound of tires screeching and horns blowing impatiently as my SMS traffic alert.

Is mytouch supposed to be like this...?

The majority of my ringtones are listed twice, they are too quiet when turned all the way up and there are no ringtones appropriate for somebody who is not a soccer mom or in junior school...am i missing something? like maybe ringtones that are not entire original instrumental songs? I use a song from my music but id like a standard ringtone...otherwise Im loving the phone (except for the notification light that seems to only work for some text messages) thank you

[Q] Automute sound when receiving Skype Call

I'm trying to set up Skype on my ASUS TF101 or my wife. It is rooted running Android Revolution HD 2.1.1. The thing I'm trying to figure out is how to have the tab auto-mute the music, video etc when I receive a Skype call. Many music players run in the background and its a bit of a pain to try and answer the call and bring up the music player to either stop or mute it. Any assist would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like something tasker might be able to do.

Thanks I will give this a shot.

Leaving Apple........S4 questions

Hi all,
After 5 years of Apple (not a fanboy) I've had enough, seen the specs for the S4 & some of its features and feel it's time to change.
I've bought every version of the iPhone since the 3G, que'd up or pre ordered every new release but now........ I've just lost interest the iphone is beautiful to look at, but features & inovation have deserted the iphone. So I've pre ordered a S4 which I will hopefully get on release day here in the UK, so for when it arrives I have a few questions
All my tunes & songs are in itunes, will I be able to transfer them, With album art etc?
Currenty use Atomic Floyd earbuds, so can make & recieve calls & skip tracks on the move (cycling) can I buy the same for S4
Books, can I transfer to the S4
I'm quite a user of emoji on my iphone, just in text. this standard in android?
I know I'm going to lose a load of apps, but I'm sat here looking through my iphone & hardly use any of them anyway lol, Just cant wait to bluetooth songs & pics, have files on my phone (in folders) i can access/amend/email just freedom to do these things Apple strangle!, not to mention expandable memory, battery swapping, playing AVI's without converting & pissing about in itunes......
Looking forward to an actual upgrade, something new

all itunes music is compatible with the stock S4 music player, yes with cover art and tags
I'm not sure about the earbuds, but those features SHOULD work
not sure about books either, are they DRM protected?
and even though I'm not sure, I think the stock messaging app does support emoji,
but even if it doesn't, you're free to install another one

Well first congrats, the iPhone 5 is great but change is awesome. I believe that there is a way to import your songs from the iPhone 5 to S4, don't quote me on this but I think it was introduced with the S4 ( I have to look it up), otherwise there are apps like doubletwist that should work. Not sure about books.
Also the S4 should come with headphones that let you skip track, answer calls all that good stuff.

Yeah I know it will come with some earphones, but will be after some premium ones. (normally never take the originals out the box)
I love the iphone 5 for its simplicity & elegance, have it jailbroke to install extra features but for me, its not enough....... Apple (since Jobs) isn't a leader, it's a follower.

I think even Samsung KIES has an option to import iTunes. I don't know about the artwork though.
My GF uses isyncr. It also works over wifi. She gets her album art as well. The only thing that might not transfer is music you bought through iTunes.
But there are dozens of ways to get your music and playlist back with album art. The thing about Android is that there are more than 1 ways to do things.

Music = drag and drop on windows = done

There's multiple apps you can use to text emojis. Go SMS is the one I use. I also figured out that if you set your twitter account up to be able to tweet via sms, you can text the number (I think it's like 40404) and use an emoji in the text if for some reason you want to tweet an emoji.

Music: Yes, you can transfer all with no issues. I get music from iTunes all the time. You can't transfer from iTunes itself, you'll need to either drag and drop, import iTunes playlists to other PC/Mac players like mediaMonkey, or get the app iSyncr which wirelessly (or wired) syncs directly with iTunes, the only thing is it's like 4USD. Worth it though. Albums, tags, and all will transfer to and from.
Earbuds: Yes, they will work. The only thing you can't do with them is raise / lower volume. If it has a mic and all that will work great, so will play/pause answer/hangup. I have a pair of Beats with ControlTalk for iDevices and it works great for me.
Books: Not sure. I never use books, If they're from apple then most likely not. Android does support books (obviously), just don't know about the compatibility if you get it from iTunes.
Emoji: Yes, the stock keyboard and many other on the Play store all fully support them.
You will LOVE android. The S4 is one if not the best device to get once it's out. Hope to see you on XDA, and don't forget to root to have even more fun!

For your iTunes music:
1) download google's music manager to your Mac/PC
2) sync music manager with your iTunes music folder
3) download google play music when you get your S4
4) voila! Your entire iTunes music library is now on your S4 with cover art that you can stream from the cloud.

So you really wanna leave?I just wanna one now.

Welcome to android and enjoy your honeymoon by managing all these things. yes S4 could well be your next GF
As said by many, songs should work easily as well as books. I have used a lot of variety of earbuds, I found all compatible. Regarding emoji, handcent sms is the best app.

Contents you can sync:
1.Sync Contacts and Calendar
On your iPhone go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Set up a new "Microsoft Exchange" account or add Gmail account by going to Add account > Gmail.
Input your email address and login info.
Select "Server" then either input the ME server address or "m.google.com" for Gmail.
On the final screen, select what you want to import—Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and/or Reminders—then hit Accept.
2.Sync Photos, Music and Videos
Windows:
Connect the iPhone with the PC.
Right-click your iPhone, select Explore and copy the media files to your desktop.
Connect the Android phone with PC, and drag and drop the iPhone photos and videos to your Android pictures folder DCIM, music goes to Music.
Mac:
Connect the iPhone with the Mac.
Open the Image Capture and download these files to the desktop.
If you are using new Android runs ICS or above, download Android File Transfer Utility to your Mac, and then drag-and-drop.
Android can't sync with iTunes, so after the syncing of media,you'll need an alternative service to load new media onto the device. You can use Google Play to help you load your collection directly from iTunes.
3.Sycn SMS and voice mail
You need a app to help you sync SMS messages. The free app My SMS is the good option which syncs text messages among your various devices—phones, tablets, laptops, and whathaveyou—and is compatible with both Mac and Windows. Download the app on both phones and follow the setup instructions and the app will easily help you do that.
For the voice mail messages, you just need to pay some money. Programs like PhoneView (Mac - $30) and iExplorer (Mac and PC - $35) can be quite helpful. You'll be able to copy not just voicemail to the desktop, but also your call history, contacts, bookmarks, notes, and media files as well with them.

You can always use Google Books, but I am sure you would have to purchase each book over again. It WOULD be nice for publishers to have some kind of cross platform syncing for something like books, magazines...
