What's up with the ringer? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've always used Standard 3 as my ringtone on all of my previous Android phones. I'd love to keep using it on my MyTouch 4G, but this phone seems to treat ringtones with great disrespect. There are no pauses between rings! It just rings incredibly fast, to the point of being extremely irritating. What the hell is up with this and how can I fix it? Thanks.

Please post questions in the Q&A section.

Finger friendly video player? (iPod Touch-like)

I'm looking for a WM video player with the iPhone and iPod Touch feel. AC did a fantastic job with S2P for audio, and I'd like a similar experience for video. I have TCPMP, and I've even tried the iPod skin for WMP, but that just doesn't match up in finger-friendliness.
Anyone know of any apps?
Mortplayer
Google Mortplayer and try the iphone skin...
Mortplayer won't work on .avi.
Mort Player plays only Audio Files!!!
try s2p by A_C

Geneal Software Questions
Please start posting these questions in the new thread at the top of this page. I'm really glad that the people are answering questions on this thread here, but thats why the thread at the top of this page was created!!!! Im no mod, so I cant do anything about it, but why encourage this stuff!!! It makes searchig for a app on here impossible. This is just my 2 cents, but just trying to help out.
Do people even read the first post?
Not Flaming
Im not criticizing for posting this thread at all. Just reccomending that instead of answering threads like this, that the people who come across it, direct them to the right place. I know that once it is posted , it is to late, but when people answer these threads, it proves to the creator that they dont have to try. Every qustion posted there so far has been answered extremely fast.
But like I said, Im not criticizing. Just reccomending. If people stopped answering these threads, and only told them where to post, eventually every single noob or anyone for that matter, would learn that it is pointless to even try to do it anymore.

[Q] Can we use softkey backlight for notifications?

I see it has been done for the international version I9000, but our buttons are different. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772672
I think it would be great if the home key backlight pulsed on notification.
Anyone know how to implement something like this?
A small led pulsing would go a long way toward saving my precious battery life, instead of periodically turning the screen on to check for new messages.
Yes. There is backlight notification mod for our phone. However, I tried several versions(10-32seconds) and could not get the backlight to turn off until I cleared the notification. I believe it only works with certain kernels and ROMs.
It can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826278
I have that installed, it just keeps the lights on longer for the softkey buttons.
What I would like to see is one of the softkeys like home pulse with the screen off when a new notification arrives, like the nexus one trackball notifications.
Anyone?
birdman's "barebones" kernel in this very forum supports backlight notifications
I have a handful of kernels on rom manager that support bln also
please stop posting questions in the dev forums!!!
Where would you suggest the question be posted. It's not a general question and it's not a theme/app...maybe BLN is now an accessory?

Easy there snappy dev guy, it was just a question. I appreciate your input and rom since im running it, but not the attitude.
attitude?
easy there noob with lack of search fu
development != questions
How about instead of posting questions that are already answered... you search. Much easier for everyone else to deal with.

What is this "attitude" crap? You're the one breaking the rules of the forum. Don't ***** when people point this out.

hop on rom manager and look under jt1334 in the downloads section..
Maybe if the search function here worked I would have found the answer to my question. I obviously dont post much so I seem to know how to be resourceful.
In this case I thought we could all benefit in getting some sort of proper notification system working on the Fascinate. The kernel mod seems to light up all the keys then go out 30 seconds later. I was wondering if it was possible to just get the "home" button to pulse like it did on my nexus one (obviously not in color).
Sorry I am not a dev, I have a life outside of android, windows mobile, and IOS, but I am definately not a noob.
Anyway its been nice chatting with all of you open minded developers working on this open platform. Mods please close this thread as it seems the developers just want to be rockstars in their own little threads, and scream "search!!!" and "noob" in all the others.
Thanks for all your help...
Don't bite the hand that feeds...
XDA is a Developers forum - not a tech support forum. There are dozens of other android forums on the Internet for that. The developers here share their work for free here and grow tired of answering the same questions over and over. The Development Forum is getting so overrun with non-development threads that it's hard to find ROM, Kernel, and App releases.
EDIT: In fact it's grown so bad that some developers aren't even releasing there work here anymore. That is why you received a "lecture".
I dont think I bit any hand, I said I appreciated the work jt did on the clean rom, and in fact I am using it right now. I think a lot of these guys on the forum are brilliant and I dont generally ask for help or any type of hand holding. Im a big boy with a job and I take chances, if I kill a phone so be it, thats why I have insurance and a warranty.
I just wanted to start a discussion and see if an idea of mine was feasable. I must have asked the wrong question, at the wrong time, in the wrong forum. -Sorry guys!
Man, and I thought the ios guys were douchebags, I guess douchebagginess is carrier dependent here since I never had a problem in the Nexus One forums. Go Verizon!

"Sorry guys" --- then you go about calling us douchbags? or did i read this wrong? There is a little X button towards the top right of the screen.... press it.
I didnt call you anything, but this is getting childish. Someone delete this thread please.
blah........
There seems to be some confusion here so allow me to answer the question and end the cat fight in one shot. There are in fact TWO different backlight mods for the Fascinate. The one you currently have is the Extended Softkey Backlights, which simply extends the amount of time your softkeys stay lit during normal operation. There is also a mod called Backlight Notifications, which does exactly what you are asking for. It is implemented in jt1134's kernels, amongst others.
As for posting location, the others are correct that this question should have been posted in general, not dev. There was just a major post from the mods specifically about this issue.

Thank you for taking the time to clear things up gardndj, will definately check out the backlight notification mod.
Now that this is in the right place, I should note that you don't want the standalone BLN mod, which is i9000-only. You need one of jt1134's kernels with BLN built in, which are only available on ROM manager.

Wow - I miss the Aria devs...

Upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S II from my tried and true Aria. Everyone on this forum has ALWAYS been more than happy to help out with anything, including walking through troubleshooting over IRC. The guys in the SGS2 forums, well... are mostly arrogant, self-important asses.
I miss dealing with everyone's excellent explanations, flawless step-by-step tutorials, and kind words for everyone. Can I talk anyone into working on the Samsung side?

Having come from being a dev on a 'huge' device like the S-II (I was on the HTC Hero, which had a lot of sales), it's very easy to get into that 'angry' dev mood when you have 20-30 people PMing you a day asking for everything from personalized builds to a build for their blackberry. Don't assume the devs are on a high horse... it could just be that their hobby of phone hacking has started to feel unappreciated with all the beggars.
I had the same experience with my old LG Incite (Windows Mobile).
The forum for that phone had excellent developers as well - especially compared to the "big guys."
It must have something to do with the volume of idiots asking for stuff (see previous post).
With a low volume phone like the Aria (and my Incite before that), the users are really grateful just to have someone working on the device - and don't think too much about tons of extras.

Yeaa. we have a small community so therefore less grouchy people. The infuse forums are real bad too. Lol

The skyrocket community is pretty big. The T989 is pretty much the same phone, so lots of T989 users come to the skyrocket forums in search of a safe haven from the hell that is the T989 forums.
I love run-ons.

I have no doubts every phone will have its own little niche community here, but it annoys me to hear some are more unfriendly than others. I am hoping to get my hands on a Samsung phone when my contract expires, so I hope I won't be picked on too much.

Questions

Let me start off by saying thanks everyone~ I am absolutely addicted to this site..... (dont know if thats good or bad)
1) In the Google Edition rom does anyone know if there is a "dock" mode. In the TW roms there you navigate to my device>accessory> Then you have audio output mode. This enables me to listen to my music in the car utilizing the ibolt car dock.
2) Any suggestions on a lockscreen widget or conversion to TW rom that acts like the AOSP roms lockscreen? I like to unlock to phone feature from lockscreen.
General statement I am currently using Goldeneye rom and found that if you flash the ausdim v4 kernel it improves benchmark results drastically. Phone seems to be little snappier. May be a figment of my imagination.... maybe it is..... Just wanted to see if anyone else had tried such and had similar results.
thanks again everyone
wrong section needs to go to Q&A--mod will move
there is GE rom in dev section--check it out
Thread moved please post in the correct section in the future.

Thread cleaned. Quit with the disrespectful replies and posts.
And, for those who want to be moderators but are not, quit trying to post stuff that only aggravates the situation. Those type of posts are called trolling and regardless of what good you think you are doing, you aren't helping matters.
Either post helpful and contributory posts, or do not post at all.
Now, the moderator here says back to development.

How are the custom ROMs?

Just curious. Thinking of buying one of these to replace my deceased MXP.
How is the custom ROM quality? Often something is a little wonky like the cameras or some sensors/inputs don't work or are a little funky or slow. It's hard to pick up the current state of ROMs from browsing the forums. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
HEY Mods! If one of you happens to notice this, please move thread to Q&A. I swear Chrome ate that section when I first browsed this device's forum page. Apparently I can't report my own thread. I'll show myself out.
I think the only thing that doesn't work currently is the "ok Google" hot word.
I personally haven't used any of them yet.
