Hello everyone, my name is Bryan and its been a while since I last came here. I finally upgrade my Sprint account to the Motorola Xprt. Whether you like it or not, its a huge difference from the HTC Snap running on Windows that I had. Ok, so I am having a hard time tying to figure out a few things and thought I would ask the community and see whats the outcome.
First, a few of the key things I like and had with the HTC is the ability to use my personal sounds files for my Text messages, incoming email, power low, new voice mail, etc. I cannot figure out how to do this. It took me about a week to figure out the "adding a folder named ringtone" trick to my Micro SD card so I can access them without accessing my mp3 music. Any ideas as to how I can change these over?
Second, the Alarm really is very low when it plays. If I am streaming music or playing mp3's, it doesn't play the sound files that I want, but a default one instead. This is critical in my line of work as a driver, I need a cat nap every now and then, and I like to stream music when I nap, so its imperative that I can get a better alarm clock that enables me to play my own files and is louder than the factory one.
Third, On the old Windows platform, when someone called me and I missed the call, it would be right one the screen in list form, one missed call and Voice mail. On this phone, I have to tap and drag the small top part of the screen to view my missed calls. Is there a way to have it as a list instead?
Fourth, On the HTC Snap, I used TCPMP to stream music from different websites. The cool thing about it is that I was able to add my own personal music files and playlists. That way as i am driving down the road, if I lost connection, it would bounce to the next line and play stored music until I got into a service area again and I would simply just click on the websites link again. Is there a software out there that will let me do this?
Fifth, Google Voice prefix's. again on the Snap, I had my Google voice set up on phone and my contacts had the prefixes on them as well. When I switch phones, I logged into Gmail, and followed the steps to move over my contacts. Ever thing went fine. The only problem is that this phone is so much faster than the Windows, that it speeds right through all the numbers and commas before the female Google voice has a chance to say anything. Is there a fix to this? Here below is the way its set up on my old phone. when I call Airtran to check a flight during peak hours, its prestored into the contact as this Airtran
my gmail number,,password,2,8002478726# So is the solution to simply add a ton of commas to make it slower? Or is there a real fix for it?
I am sure I will have more Q's in the future and hope this isn't to much to ask.
