Captivate Rogers caller ringtoned

Hello...all my contacts came from my gmail so when I try to set a custom ringtone it shows no contacts. Is there a way to copy all my gmail Contacts to the phone? Or a 3 rd party apparently to set customized ringtones? Thx for the help!

Nobody knows?
When i play song in music player, i click "set as" caller ringtone, and it shows no contacts, even if I create one it seems as though I cant assign a ringtone for that particular contact, but it works fine if i set it as my ringtone (for everyone)

Are imported through Gmail contacts not the same as "fully-fledged", inputted into the phone contacts?
...I was about to load all of my numbers into my Gmail account's address-book, and sync. Now I'm not so sure that I want to. Partly for privacy reasons, I've kept segregated email and telephone—for years. Why make the leap now, if integration is not total...?
I've heard about an application called Google Sync. I wonder, would that be of any help?

Here is what I did. Sync contacts from gmail, in contacts hit menu and export to SD card. Copy file from internal to external SD. Hard reset to remove Google account. When resetting up your phone unchecked contact sync and them when in contact hit menu and import from SD

kind of weird and annoying why it isnt simple.
I found a way to copy them all to phone, so they show up. But when I assign them a ringtone, it doesnt work, despite a different song being chosen when i see them on contact.
Does song have to be less than 300k? i dont get an error or anything, just plays my default ringtone for all my contacts.

You can get around the 300k limit for songs. Simply create a folder on the root of your SD Card called 'ringtones' and copy the music files into there.
As for assigning custom tones to google contacts, RingDroid can do that.

Damn—you know, it's really cool that "there's an app for [everything]"—but some of these features really ought to've come standard in the OS... like, shuffling around icons on the dock, or, rearranging icons in a folder, or, placing folders within folders, or, allowing for %-indication of the battery in the status-bar.
Methinks tweakfreak users ought to be the first guys hired to field-test/QA these devices, and point out what's missing to the devs

Well ring droid worked great...many thanks!

[Q] Save Email Attachments?

Any idea how to save email attachments in POP email, specifically JPG and PDF?
The HTC Help page says the following:
"Save an attachment
Select email with attachment, download the attachment, tap the Preview icon, press the Menu key, Select Save or Save as."
However, I do not see a 'Save' or 'Save As' option when I follow these instructions.
Any thoughts? TIA!

I don't have the Vivid, but if it works like other HTC phones when you click on the attachment it's probably getting saved to a /download folder either in internal memory or on an SD card.

When you download a PDF email attachment, it is automatically saved in the Adobe Reader on your SD Card under Downloads.
For jPeg, when you download a jpeg from an email, it is automatically saved in the Gallery in the All downloads folder.
The intructions you refer to are for other file types.

Sorry to hijack the thread here but it is the same subject that I want to know. When my wife sends me a video of my 2 year old from her iPhone it comes as .MOV file. The Gmail app which is what I use for both of my email accounts does not give me the option to download or preview the file. Is this normal and if so is there a way around it?

[Q] How to delete clipboard content.

I have tried to download the app from the play store but nothing works.
Theres several items stored in my clipboard and i just cant seem to find a way to delete the items,
Several attempts at google and no prevail aswell.

On S Memo there is an icon below the Save button. This serves to add a photo, but we have the option to add a note. If we click, is a list of all the copied items, of course we can delete them taking pushed on the 'photo' and selecting the option to delete; also ther is an app for the same thing download here ;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.eraser&feature=search_result.....

Open Polaris office and click on the '+' sign now click on the clipboard icon and delete them as u want

any way to organize photos in the instant upload album into other albums?

Okay this is driving me crazy. All my photos are synced to my nexus from my phone and Google plus. The problem is that all of my photos that come from my phone are under the same album called instant upload. I want to separate them into different albums and still have them sync across all my devices. I tried doing it through the phone and through Google plus but nothing works...
Is this possible?

Bump anyone?

Not sure if I completely understand, but you can add instant uploads to created albums in Google+ (on the the web) and they will sync through picasa and show up in your gallery. If you want to do it on your phone/tablet just upload the images to picasa. Make sense?

I do this all the time... from my computer.
Log into Picasaweb site, browse to the Instant Upload folder, click organize, select the photos you want to move, then move them to a new album.
You can probably do it from your tablet if you force the desktop version of Picasaweb, but that would be a pain in the neck for me... I am in from of my computer all day, so I just organize my instant upload folder once a week or so when I have a few spare minutes.

This is the way
Hello,
This is how I do.
1) Go to google+ > Photos > Instant Upload
2) Select the photos you want to move to an album, click on "add to album" on the right up.
3) Although they are in albums, they'll still show up in instant upload. To remove them go to picasaweb > Instant Upload folder. Click Organize, select all photos and delete. This will delete them from instant upload in google+, but they'll stay in albums.
Still, maybe try with 1-2 photo first, and proceed for all if works.

Been using droidiris as a gallery app and oh is it impressive on the N7. Puts all my travel images in the order they were taken in a user interface that really highlights my work.

Can you do this from N7 g+ app? There's no "add to album" option on the right up. The only option is "delete photo."

Actually deleting photos from Picasa permanently... HOW?

People are fooled by the numerous videos on Youtube on how to remove those annoying Picasa photos from being seen on your device. But all those videos show the exact same instructions which only remove the photos from syncing to that device. It does not delete them. Once you buy a new phone, those photos will show up again.
I would like to know where they are coming from. and delete them permanently.

All photos backed up from your phone are in Google+ Photos. If you delete them there it will ask you if you want to delete the photo everywhere.

Use an app called Picasa Tools. From there you can change the albums to Hangouts. Select and delete the pictures you want.
I'm guessing that any Picasa gallery app would work?

There are a few ways to delete from Picasa.
1) open google photos. delete from there. It will warn you that it will delete pictures even off of your device, however.
also remember to open the side menu and empty the trash, they don't get deleted immediately.
2)go to your google + photos on an actual computer. you can delete them through there without worrying about them being deleted from your phone. However, if you have auto backup on, it'll just reup them again anyways.
to change what gets uploaded, open the side menu in google photos, go down to "on device" and uncheck(disable the cloud icon) the folders you don't want backed up. if you don't want any backing up, make sure you turn off the photo syncing in your google account settings on your phone. (settings - accounts - google - *your account* - uncheck Sync Google + Photos) Then clear the cache on your gallery app and reload the app, it'll all be gone.

If they keep reappearing try this: Get on a desktop computer > sign into google account > go to picasaweb.google.com/lh/myphotos?noredirect=1 and delete the actual photos at the source.
It will give a huge list of the places that the photo is being deleted from! Caution: this deletes the photos from EVERYWHERE including blogger posts, etc
