using the free program cdex i've made many a mp3 to wma and played them as ring tones
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] siupiu:

Thanks for the help guys. All's well again. :lol:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cychiam:
can the mp3 be read off from other directories in the storage card?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] markai:
MP3 Ringtones on XDAIIi

cychiam,

MP3's can be read from anywhere on ur PPC, especially external storage cards, but if ur using them as ringtones, I believe they have to reside in the 'Ring' folder in the 'Windows 'directory.

An important note for anyone who has had problems, like me, getting to use MP3's as ringtones on ur XdaIIi is: If you have a third party piece of software installed on ur PPC like, Betaplayer or the DivX Player, you must uncheck the association it has with MP3's under the Players settings/options. Else it will prevent the Xda being able to associate itself with MP3's as ringtones! Took me the better half of two weeks to find this simple solution and the credit goes to someone else, I just found the answer on another forum.

Hope this helps someone.

Markai aka Mackaby007 :D

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halomademeapc:
I have a Xoom WiFi and have some issues with the touch. It ALWAYS registers taps, but I have issues with press and hold as well as dragging. The tricky thing is that it doesn't happen consistently. I researched it a bit and popped my Xoom open to take a look. I put tape under the ribbon of the digitizer controller and a note card piece under another. I also added a piece of foam on top of the chip to secure it in place. That made the problem improve some. Now it works perfectly most of the time but sometimes it doesn't press and hold for more than half a second or drag more than an inch or two without giving up. I haven't noticed any patterns in its behavior yet. Any ideas?

Please forgive any typing mistakes I made; this is my first 10" tablet and I'm still getting used to typing on a touchscreen like a normal keyboard.

I have yet to figure out how to add more carriers into my ROM so

That it is more user friendly, sadly everyone I have asked about

Adding in Multi-Carrier support hasn't replied.

Hope someone can enlighten me on the subject a little.

Cheers.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
Something in a rom with an aroma installer or you just port them each and post them in the respective forums. Which are you trying to do ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
I just wanted to port in some more carriers so when it first boots

the ROM is more compatible with more then just Telus users.

I haven't ever used aroma and don't plan to if I can.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
With a Canadian ROM all the user needs to do is as their APN and change their build prop to reference their specific device. An easy way to do this would be to make a flashable zip with the apns.conf file and like the one from my ROM and then make a build prop for the at&t device or any other i747m device that the user can flash after installing the ROM.

apns-conf.xml - 198.08 KB
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
So basically I'd have to just create the flashable zip + updater-script, add in the apns-conf.XML file along with an at&t build.prop? Sorry to clarify, I'm just a little uncertain.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
Yep that's the really basic way and it works for at&t and Canadian ROMs so you don't have to upload a whole new ROM. You can get more in depth if you so desire but then you'd need to do it as a separate ROM
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Well I guess I better start learning some more of that updater-script stuff then, thanks very much [MENTION=4668178]hednik[/MENTION] now back to the Comp I suppose.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
If you can wait I can make one tomorrow for you. I'm not good at it either but I've got a blank one I use for a template
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
I can most definitely wait, I think I may give it a go on my own as well so I can compare cause I'll probably end up giving myself a boot loop :P

I really appreciate the help dude.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
Can you send me your build prop ? I don't want to download the whole rom just for that haha

[General Questions and Answers] 1dtms:
I'm confused on bands / frequency.

I thought each technology had their own specific band. For example LTE would operate on it's own band and HSPA would operate on a separate unique band.

However, I'm looking at frequencies now and I'm seeing the multiple technology operating on the same band. I don't understand that.

In example I'm seeing something like this

3G capabilities = 850, 900 MHz, PCS, IMT ,UMTS / HSPA+

3G capabilities = 850, AWS (Band IV), 1900, 2100 MHz, UMTS / HSPA+ / DC-HSPA+

I don't get how 3G has different bands. Also looking at the above, are they saying HSPA+ does not have a frequency? or that those listed frequencies can support HSPA+?
[General Questions and Answers] mark manning:
Bands are kind of like channels, different frequencies have different benefits.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_frequencies

The different technologies are not all deployed on one tower. What happens is tower a may use umts on 1900mhz where tower b across the state may only use pcs on that frequency.
[General Questions and Answers] RRiVEN:
Generally,

Lower frequency, more range and penetration through buildings and trees BUT less bandwidth.

Higher frequency less range and penetration through buildings and trees but higher bandwidth.

Now, with that being said what is done with the frequency with things like FDMA, TDMA, CDMA, and OFDMA can change how much is sent on the frequency and how many users can share a frequency.

The term waveform can be used to describe what is being done with the frequency much like AM vs FM.

That is the difference in 3G, 4G, and 5G. The technology on what the frequency is doing.

That is also why the higher the G the more battery is used. It takes more computing power to sperate your traffic from everyone else.

I have a stock s4 from US Cell that I just got today. I have flashed a few s3's to boost and was told it was the same process. After hours of research and a few lines in command prompt I was able to get into DM mode and was able to have workshop (cracked addition) and DFS free to be able to read and right. I know my SPC and have the correct password.

I was able to successfully fix the ESN of the S4 and then I tried to write the NV item 465 and 466 it said 0 files where written successfully. When I tried to put in the info for the data nothing seems to stick in DFS including the PRL so I am kind of at a loss.

Anyone please let me know what I am doing wrong so that I can get this s4 up and running on boost?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ronhero:
Does anyone know if any custom rom will help? Also when picking a custom rom should I look for a sprint one since i am flashing to boost or should I look for a us cell since that is the phone type

MF9 hotspot mod issues

I was running rooted MDL on my sprint gs4 but wanted to update to MF9 so i unrooted then updated to stock MF9 i then used cfautoroot to root the stock MF9 which worked just fine.... i attempted the hotspot mod using the odexed MF9 "system.jar" and "system.odex" files then did a reboot.....the replaced files soft bricked my phone....it was stuck on the sprint splash screen it would not go any further....i had to re-flash back to stock MDL to get my phone booted up again....I'm not sure what the issue is with the MF9 hotspot mod because the MDL hotspot mod works like a charm. If anyone has any insight into this problem all help would be greatly appreciated....because i would much rather be updated to the latest software but i still need my hotspot feature to work

I have a question too, actually.

Flashing to a new kernel is the same way as flashing a ROM, right? I heard that you need to fix permissions, but some say you shouldn't...

So after flashing to a new kernel, is fixing permissions required?
