Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

When you go to Settings -> General -> About, what is your Version? i.e., mine is 1.1.3

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

I would like to add a custom ringtone as well, but I don't understand the
.m4a. change and then the .m4r. change.

If you could explain it like you were explaining it to a child who knows absolutely nothing, that would probably help. I am a grown a** man, but I'm not ashamed to admit I sometimes need directions. But not directions to places and never from a woman, I always know where I am going when I am travelling.

You sound so humble and yet asking for assistance.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

chop up whatever song you want to use as a ringtone (down to 15-30 seconds {I've cut my 'tones down to 15 seconds}). Convert that file to AAC (which is .m4a Then change the extension from .m4a to .m4r Put the .m4r file back in itunes and sync.

Pared can send you the link to jailbreak 1.1.3 and then once you get the program 'Installer' on your phone, you'll be good to go to download all sorts of different apps.

Thanks!

So will I be able to have custom tones, custom sounds for camera, texts etc...?


What apps do you recommend?

Also do I need to restore my phone?

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

So when is this SDK going to be released and what is it going to allow?

I love the phone but some things that bother me...

I wish I could make custom ringtones (I tired the workaround but I obviously did something wrong as they would not sync with my phone all I did was change it to an .m4r. i dunno too much!)

Wish I could have custom sounds for my text messeges as well.

I also don't like how on itunes it doesn't have how long the songs are so you know when to rewind or fast foward.

One thing that gets on my nerves about the iPhone is when you use the keypad it makes sounds when it you hit the numbers (unless the phone is on silent) for the most part it doesn't matter because 99% of the people I call are on my contacts, but it's anoying sound when I have to do it.

A few other things I don't like. Not being able to delete certain text messages and not being able to forward them.

Not being able to delete certain calls.

One more thing...

What applications do you all have on your phone?


Sorry for so many questions, but I just got the phone Saturday so I missed out on everything when it was first released.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

What is this 3G talk? it's going to be the same as the iPhones out now, but faster internet connection?

It's not slow now compared to other phones, but it would have been nice to have a faster connection.

Maybe I should have waited on my purchase... =/

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

One more question...

is it okay to sync to two different computers? My girlfriend activated her iPhone on my pc and updated to 1.1.3 but the other stuff, contacts, pics, music etc she will be doing from her laptop at home.

Is that going to cause problems?

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

its .m4r for ringtones

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

Don't know what I am doing.

I did that, drug the song to my itunes ringtone folder. When I go to sync ringtones, the song isn't there anymore.

When I edit the song down, it won't even drag to the folder.


I dunno too much!

Yeah, I dunno either...try searching online for this stuff...maybe you'll find some forums with people who have tried different things. We've got some people here who have dabbled, but the people on other forums probably really know what they're doing.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

This is how I do it.

1. Pick the portion of the song l want to use.
2. Convert it to acc
3. Drag the acc copy to my desktop and rename .m4a to .m4r
4. Double click on the .m4r and then it automatically goes into the ringtones section of itunes

This is the video I followed the first time I did it:
