Is your phone stock? It is seeming more and more to me that stock phones are having major issues with everything. My wife had a stock LG Optimus S and its barely a month old and already having major issues with handling and weird random stuff like what you just explained. Can anyone else confirm this? I have no problems with my Zio other then wifi cutting out. That's been this particular sets only problem. I keep up on this thing, stock phones don't have the control to keep caches free and clear and so on.

Yes its all stock. And also I can't/don't know how to set my mp3 ringtones to my contacts. Like, an mp3 for one contact, a different mp3 for another contact, so I can know who is calling me just by hearing which mp3 is ringing.

The answers to your questions are all in reading around here. Not gonna spoon feed you. Assigning a custom ringtone to a specific person is really easy and if you can't do it you need a less smartphone because its obviously too smart for you.

Spoon feed? Nah nah, ever since the "upgrade to 2.2" the option to set different mp3s to different contacts is no longer showing up when editing a/any contact. So ill disregard ur lil smart a** reply. I ain't all tech-y with smartphones and stuff, I just want to set it like before the 2.2 so if I'm at work welding or playing baseball with my kids, I can hear who's calling without having to stop mid-weld or mid-pitch just to see who's calling. Yeah its probly already answered somewhere in hear but I ain't searchin n searchin when HOPEFULLY I can just ask, post, and just check back later for someones appreciated help, not some sh** like spoon feed crap. If ud rather reply with that crap and not with something helpful to what's being asked then just be an ass with someone who is already being an ass. L8Rs.

The lord helps those who help themselves. No one else will spoon feed you either. Jack Wagon. If you won't search no one is going to help you. I search and that's how I find things I need. I don't post and wait for someone else to read for me, because I'm not lazy. Get real. If you can't figure out simple things like mp3ringtones you have a phone that's too smart for you, idiot.

Wow, this is so simple. I will go ahead and tell you how to do it. Got to your contacts, find the one you want to set the ringtone for and hit the menu button, get this it actually pops up a menu that has some options, one of which is "Ringtone" Select "Ringtone" Then it will pop another menu (tricky I know) bear with me here, choose between Android System or User Added Ringtones or Zedge or whatever other ringtone apps you might have. The next step is all up to you just pick the ringtone you want and VIOLA!!!!!! /discussion

Everything is koo up untill I select ringtone, after I select it, a list of stock tones (that I know I didn't put in) come up starting with default, Android beat box, sunshine, rainy day, waterfall or something like those. Never does it ask Android ringtones or user submitted tones or anything of that nature.

I SOLVED MY OWN PROBLEM! I WENT TO MUSIC, LONG PRESSED A SONG, SELECTED "SET AS RINGTONE". HOME SCREEN, THEN CONTACTS, SELECTED THE CONTACT, MENU, OPTIONS, RINGTONE, THEEEEN IT WAS IN THE LIST TO PICK FROM ALONG WITH THE STOCK ONES! No one came close to suggesting that process. But thanks anyways.

One of the things I miss about my blackberry is that I could change songs while they were playing while the phone was in any state (apps or otherwise) by holding down the down volume rocker to repeat the song or the up rocker to go to the next song.
My question is can this be done on my captivate via rom, app or otherwise?
My apologies if this doesn't exactly fit in the dev forum.

Not a problem. Most of the things BlackBerry users miss when going to Android can be created on Android using Tasker. You can even make the phone make an action when you turn it over on its screen! Do the 14-day trial before buying to be sure its what you are looking for.
Thanks!

The music player "Mixzing" allows you to control songs with the supplied headphones which have the button. I'm pretty sure you can use that feature outside of the app but not certain.
I'm looking for an android app that will answer a phone call after a defined number of rings and record voicemails to my SD. It obviously doesnt need to run if the phone is powered down.
I think the problem in designing this is having sound sent from an app to the caller.
Does anybody know if this exists? (in all countries.. ie not googlevoice)

I still don't understand how or if possible to erase all my bookmarks in the web browser at one time. While in web browser I press Menu, Bookmarks, long press one and then delete bookmark. But to do that 80+ times, oh h**l no. Can someone please school me on a solution that won't delete anything else but the bookmarks, please? (I tried the search and like always all the results had NOTHING to do with what I searched, (I'm not saying, I'm just saying)

Not that I'm aware of. Try to find where your bookmark files are stored and delete them with Root Explorer, maybe?
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
Root Explorer? Sounds like something that'll void my warranty. Id love to try the whole "root" thing to see if its any better than stock but Im too a-scared to ask someone/anyone to walk me thru it (or shoot me a link to the steps n procedures) cause I'm sure ill get smashed. Oh yeah, anyways, I guess ill just delete my bookmarks one by one in 5min shifts for about an hour till they're gone. But thanks for ur time.

The Casio G-Zone Commando has a "read out" app that will read any unread messages when you press the app icon. I have looked for the app but can't find it. If I'm able to find a Commando ROM ans extract the apk, do you thing it would work? Hmm, I guess I know my evening.
I have never liked things like handsent or third party apps that do what I already have a core app to do. It just seems like bloat
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I agree but they work well as a temp fix until you find the solution
I think this would be a pretty cool thing if I could get it to work.
It didn't take me long to find a commando system dump, but a couple of hours later I am no closer to finding the apk.
I would GREATLY appreciate any help. On the commando there is an app called "read out" and it has the same icon as the text messaging app. If you touch the icon it will read your unread messages to you.
I figure (total guess) that it is interfacing with the picotts.apk like the bionic does in car mode. The bionic has the picotts.apk already, so I want to try installing the read out thing to see of it works.
Does anyone know what the read out apk is named? Or if this would work?

I saw there were a couple of apps, what I liked about this was it's almost more of a widget. Nothing opens you touch it and it reads. The down side to an app is if I have to open an app to use it I might at well read the message myself.
I appreciate the help. I know I probably sound like an idiot
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
So I was able to check out a Commando and the "read out" is a 1x1 widget, not an app. The commando is the only phone I have seen this on.
Is there a chance that the pico apk is different on the commando and has that widget? If so can I install that version and have it work?
I like the widget because I don't want every message read out. I don't see the point in a seperate messaging app, because I could just open and read the message. But the widget I could find useful if I'm on Bluetooth or busy with something and don't want to stop and read. Just tap the screen and continue doing what I'm doing!

Hey guys I am using a Nexus 6 stock and rooted with no xposed or anything like that. Just recently I've noticed that (after being told ive been ignoring calls) that NY phone doesn't handle calls well anymore. Now it wasn't always like this and I haven't done anything out of the ordinary either. I can place a call and everything is well but when I receive one my phone app 'stops' and blocks me from being able to answer or decline the call, any idea what's going on?
Attached is what i see when I get a call andddd the apps that are using root right now.
Actually just came to me only changes that have been made besides apps updating is me making a chopped mp3 as a ringtone and another chopped mp3 as a text notification sound, shouldn't bother my calling though right?
Any help is appreciated:thumbup:
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
i get that same notification on my phone but i havnt had any issues about missing calls or anything. my notification is just while i am randomly using the device. i am using a nexus 6 rooted and currently running CM12 20150210 nightly rom. i have no clue what the notification is about though.
I really don't want to factory reset after getting everything the way I want it but its looking more and more like all I can do? I'd rather flash a new Rom (waiting for the CM12 monthlies) but idek if flashing a new ROM would help I have no idea what's going in, any other ideas?

I need for apps to not randomly stop working lol I haven't heard much buzz about this though so I don't think its a wide spread problem but I'm sure there are are other people with the sane problem
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
I'll be honest though about the CM12 nightlys. They are actually pretty stable. I havnt had many bugs or glitches besides that phone not working one. In the past devices I have had there were more bugs with the nightly but the nexus ones are pretty decent. They are still very similar to stock OS but some addons
I just noticed this today with the latest CM12 nightly. The phone app crashes on any inbound call, the report says something about a null pointer exception. Hopefully this will be figured out with tonight's release. I kindof need my phone to be a phone...
Hey okay so turn of events it seems like my ringtone actually had something to do with it...posting this to help any future forum searchers for this problem...so after I changed my ringtone the first time, it seems that the phone app had called it Unknown ringtone, probably to show that there was a problem as the ringtone I actually chose had a name, (I guess it couldn't find the mp3 to play when it received a call and so it freaked out whenever a call came through..but since that ring tone doesn't play with outgoing calls, that ability wasn't affected? Idk all speculation
Anyway after I went into the phone app and chose one of the standard ringtones, I called my phone and it rang! And so I changed it again to the cut mp3 I wanted and it rang! I'm guessing the problem stemmed from the way the no3 cutting app applied the mp3 as my ringtone...
Not to witchhunt or anything but the app I used was called MP3 Cutter by accountlab. The app has great reviews and does was it says but just a warning if you cone across the same problem!
