Post #361,897 by drook 8/22/12 7:54:25 AM Reply	Where can I find a normal ringtone? You know, one that sounds like a fucking phone ringing? There's a bunch of apps in the Google Play store, but the first four I checked all wanted access to the internet. Fuck that. -- Drew
Post #361,899 by static 8/22/12 8:04:32 AM Reply	It can play anything as a ringtone. Or it should be able to. (I would have thought you knew that.) Find a suitable sound on your PC, upload it, find it in the music player and tell it "Use as Ringtone". Wade. Just Add Story http://justaddstory.wordpress.com/
Post #361,907 by drook 8/22/12 9:12:58 AM Reply	It's the "find a suitable sound" part I was looking for I don't have any ringtones. This is my first smartphone, so I've never needed to collect phone sounds. -- Drew
Post #361,917 by folkert 8/22/12 12:43:10 PM 8/22/12 12:43:34 PM Reply	Look for "WAV" files... and listen to them on your computer(s)... then once you find one you like... try it on the phone and if its loud enough... and pleasant enough... use it. Also MP3 work as ringtones... Edited by folkert Aug. 22, 2012, 12:43:34 PM EDT Expand All History

Post #361,942 by drook 8/22/12 6:36:13 PM Reply	Nope, just Googled it -- Drew
Post #361,943 by Another Scott 8/22/12 7:26:42 PM Reply	Neat. Thanks. A friend at work has an iPhone with an old fashioned telephone ring-tone. It's quite loud and really gets your attention. Zedge seems to run fine on my Archos tablet. Cheers, Scott.

Post #361,891 by folkert 8/21/12 10:38:36 PM Reply	Re: Posting from my new Samsung Galaxy SIII I got the Nexus... Make sure you turn off the location services as it wakes the phone up ALOT... unless you are using them. I'm very pleased with the Nexus... does everything and more that I need it to do and with good enough battery life. I'd love 10 days of battery.
Post #361,896 by drook 8/22/12 7:53:26 AM Reply	That's right, I forgot about that That's one of many things it prompted me for, I couldn't remember which I wanted to skip. Thanks. -- Drew
Post #361,909 by drook 8/22/12 9:20:31 AM Reply	So why doesn't GPS work without location services? Google maps gets my location if I have the WiFi location services turned on, but with that off (and GPS on) it gets nothing. -- Drew
Post #361,916 by folkert 8/22/12 12:41:12 PM Reply	I don't have the same issue... If I tell it Stand Alone GPS... I get location but without 3ft accuracy.
Post #361,927 by drook 8/22/12 2:29:59 PM Reply	Doesn't have that option I can turn GPS on or off. I can turn location services -- which in this context means WiFi -- on or off. I can allow apps (including Google Maps) to use location services. I don't see where I can allow apps to use GPS. -- Drew
Post #361,933 by drook 8/22/12 3:03:02 PM Reply	Figured it out If I use the Google Maps app, it works with just GPS. Is I use maps.google.com from the internet app, it requires location services to be on. -- Drew
Post #361,950 by folkert 8/22/12 9:56:26 PM Reply	Location services wakes the phone up a lot! And sucks down huge battery levels. If I don't need it I turn it off. I use the Google Maps App and does me best for my purposes anyway.
