Apple sucks

[MrRiplEy[H]]

The blackberry is even worse llogann. Keypad waaaay too fiddly.

Just for the ones who don't know, to use an existing song on your Iphone as a ringtone you have to -

1 download an app such as ringtone (free thankfully)

2 use app to make 30 second audio clip

3 at the end of the process save to desktop

4 drag clip to ringtones section on itunes

5 resync

6 get frustrated coz for some reason the iphone won't put on more than one, or work at all

7 Go outside for a smoke

8 come back in and convert track to aac with 30 second limit

9 save to desktop and make windows show file extensions

10 convert to .m4r

11 drag into ringtones folder on itunes

12 resync

13 doesn't work

14 drop F bomb in the loudest voice you can

15 go for a smoke

16 get a verbal kicking from the wife for being noisy and having no patience

17 go for a smoke

18 give up.

Yeah or you just could choose any song you like, convert it to AAC using one click on iTunes, locate song in question on harddrive using search, rename the song from .m4a to .m4r and iTunes will automatically move your song to your ringtones folder and sync it to your iphone.

Real hard.

Extremely hard, considering that the process should be:

1.-search audio file on your phone
2.-click on "use as ringtone"
3.-enjoy

it is. ripley was explaining how to use a song on your PC, transfer it, then select it on the phone.

I checked btw, settings -> sounds -> select which sound, then select which sound file. until someone introduces thought control I cant think of less clicks to do this.

That's how it's done on droid x.  Get app (free) search ringtone, download, use as ringtone.

There's an app for that.

In fact, a dozen. Free and paid you choose.

Blackberry beats all on being a part of the domain at work (which is why EVERY office-worker who has a company-issued smart phone has a crackberry) But if that's not your concern...Droid. (One other cool thing about Droid, is the ability to use Google Earth maps to feed your gps for free (Droid OS was created by Google)---else, something like VZ Navigator is $10 a month)

It's always been free on iPhone also, standard in built in map application. Droid copied it from IOS.

[bj229r]

Very cool, had no idea. Wonder if money had to change hands for that to happen?

One decided DOWN side of Crackberrys is PDAnet doesn't work without the tedious Crackberry software, works like a champ with Droid (Have no idea about Iphone)

Absolutely

Right here 's how the situation stands. I have 20+ .m4r files sat in my ringtones file all 30 seconds or less. So far only 1 is recognised on my iphone4. This is beyond stupid.As for mms alerts you have no chance, can't jailbreak the phone because with the latest os, you can't do it. Besides, should you have to hack a phone to make it work? I don't think so. Apple fanboi's only want to put their fingers in their ears and hum loudly when you tell them the OS is junk.

Save clips to folder on desktop, go get teenage son, tell him to set them as ringtones, go get a beer, come back, project finished, thank teenage son and move on

If apple spent half as much time developing their OS as they do worrying about DRM they'd have something.  Where they have really shone is in the aftermarket accessory market.
