Is there a way to send a small mp3 clip (200k) via mms? Im using handcent and I have it set to 1M but everytime I try to attach the clip I get an error message "sorry you cannot add this audio to your message" Im on ATT running kangorama
They usually have to be very small clips.
Have you tried using the default messaging client to see what it does?

Yes, Ive tried both handcent and the stock messaging client. The clips can be smaller than 200k and it still wont sent
I too cannot figure out how to attach an audio file to a text message. I have tried the stock messaging app and handcent. I have tried to attach .mp3, .3gp, .ogg, and .wav files. All below 200kb. I have also tried upping the max size. Nothing works. pretty sad that there are options on these audio apps to send but it doesn't work. The crappiest of crap phones can do this but a $600 ' smart' phone chokes. There dont seem to be any answers for this debacle either. Not that I can find anyways. Is there ANYONE that has an answer besides 'email it' or ' go back to your old dumb phone'?
Go SMS has an option to add Audio to a text message, worth a punt, plus its nicer than Handcent anyway (IMO)
Im wondering if out has to be in a certain folder. Turns out I can attach mp3s with rings extended but voice recordings don't show with rings for whatever reason. And tapeatalk doesn't have an option for changing output folder. ill check the stock voice recorder.
EDIT: nope. no option in the stock recorder either. Wtf..

I just got tapemachine from the market and rings extended shows what is recorded with that. Just says too big and can't attach. Prolly cuz it's a wav. Looks promising.

Recforge from the market allows mp3 voice recording for I think 30 seconds or 1 minute in the free version. It also allows you to choose the output location. Perfection. Good looking app too. Icons from buuf. Only thing is rings doesnt see the new recordings until the sdcard is scanned again so I had to get sdrescan, also from the market. I used to use rescan media/root but it pwnd my gallery so I didn't want to get it again. sure hope sdrescan doesn't fail in the same way. Final verdict: I've figured it out. Hope this helps anyone else with this annoying problem.

Anyone using the native lockscreen? I have a question.
I use chomp SMS as my messaging client and I get numerous message counts on the lockscreen from the native messaging app. Is there any way to shut off that notification? Or do I have to use a different lockscreen? I really don't wanna have to use a different lockscreen. I'm actually trying to leave it as stock as I can.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am like you for the moment I am liking the stock look and feel of this phone for now. I do really like GoSMS because of how customizable it is but also because when you are setting up it does a brief setting check to see how the stock messaging app. is set and then tells you what to turn off. It is a pretty slick low resource using messaging app. I dig it.
If you have never tried it you might want to give that app. a shot. IMO it is one of the better messaging apps. out there. Here is a link to it on the market.

I used GoSMS for awhile. I like it too but it still doesn't shut off the SMS count on the lockscreen.

Weird. I don't like the count on the screen either and there is a setting in both the stock and GoSMS settings that offers the option to disable the count for the lock screen. Maybe it is something specific with the Thrill. I don't know but now I am curious. I am going to look further into it. I check back and see if you found something before I do.
This has actually been mentioned in some review articles and as far as I know the reviewer was never able to actually get a fix for it other than to use the stock sms/mms. It is software related as far as they saw so the dev for chompSMS and what not will have to fix it.
Hey cool man thanks for the update. Because I had not found anything yet. LOL!

There is no way to disable it though the stock apps or settings. i use hancent sms and it has an option to set it as the default app for sms, mms, or all. when you pick both, the stock messaging app is bypassed until the next boot up, but only displays the notification until you open either handcent or the stock app. i have noticed too, that if you want to set a custom ringtone through an alternate messaging app, the stock notification ringtone must be set to silent or be turned off completely to work right. this can always be different for other phones though.
If you are rooted (or willing to do so), you can install Titanium Backup, create a backup of the stock messaging app, then uninstall it that way. No unread message count anymore. You can always reinstall it if you wish to go back completely stock.
Am I missing something? Can I not add a custom right tone to a contact? I just switched over from my Droid X today and I came across this issue.

I believe the way to do it is if you open the Contacts app then click on the contact and when it shows their info, hit the menu key then select options and it should then give you the option to set a custom ringtone for that contact.
I've tried that but the only choices that are available are the stock ringtones that came with the phone I'd like to use an actual song from my music library as that contacts ringtone.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
I noticed the same thing! I like to have different songs for different people, i don't want to be limited to the lame generic ringtones, i want Beck and Death Weather and QoTSA!
I just upgraded from a Droid X today and I able able to add custom ringtones to contacts then now on DB it doesn't seem to give you an option to do that I'm surprised

Might try adding the music files to a folder named "Ringtones" on the sd card. It worked for my portal 2 ringtones.

Files placed into: /Internal phone storage/media/audio/ringtones are usable as ringtones. If the folders already exist, just move your files there. If the folders aren't already there, you can use the pre-installed Files application to create them. From with the app, click Menu then New Folder.
Then do this keeping in mind that it needs to be done from the View Contact screen, not the Edit Contact screen:

I figured it out: I opened the music app then long pressed the song I wanted as a ring tone. The go to the contact select options and when the list of ring tones opens looks for the song title and hi-light the song done. Thanks to all of you for helping!!!!

I had some songs and alert tones that I put on the external SD card, and the system found them and added them to my list of available ring tones without me having to do anything.
have had no issues with custom ring tones and alerts.
Thanks. That also worked for the notification ringtone.

Check out "Rings Extended" in the app market. Once installed it operates in the background. Assign a ringtone as normal, but when you do you get the option to use Rings Extended. It will let you choose any music on your phone.
I have been searching everywhere for a flashable zip preferably that would change those foolish water droplet sounds when you dial a phone number to the regular (DTMF)?? Tones I believe its called. My setup is in my Sig.. Anybody that knows how I can do this is elite, amazing and awesome!!! Lol.
Subscribed, old school.
And get off my lawn!
Me too, without luck. I finally gave up and installed Swipe Dialer, which has the DTMF tones. But its functionality is a bit different than the stock dialer, so I hope some sharp developer can help out here. My guess is you have to decompile and edit the secphone.apk (but that's just a guess)

Swipe Dialer looks useful, but it doesn't seem to have call-blocking, and shows previously blocked calls in the logs tab.
I'll give it a try for a few days, though. Thanks.

Close, it's actually the SecContacts.apk... I found this but I don't think it will work..

I've been playing around with dialers in the Play Store, and my new favorite is exDialer by modoohut. It doesn't have the blacklist option, but you can copy the undesired number to the clipboard thru the share function and then simply paste it into your call settings as a rejected number. Everything else about the app, however, is fantastic, including, of course, the DTMF tones!

Guys - this problem is driving me up the wall.
I've tried for hours to fix it, but can't find a solution.
When in WhatsApp, when I click the paperclip to attach, then Gallery, it takes me to the "WhatsApp gallery" thing which has all my photos etc. in it. Using the 3 dot menu I can then also choose to go to HTC Gallery or Google Photos instead. That's all fine.
However, when I select an image in the "WhatsApp gallery" and hit the send button, it WILL NOT send no matter what I do. It just returns to that "WhatsApp gallery" home screen with all the folders.
The ridiculous thing is if, by using the 3 dot button and selecting one, I go to either HTC Gallery or Google Photos, I can send anything just fine.
It is simply this stupid intermediate screen that doesn't work!!!!
What is it? And how can I fix it / get rid of it / set default to HTC Gallery?
I've tried clearing data for Gallery & WhatsApp, uninstalling WhatsApp, installing WhatsApp+, moving DCIM folder contents around - you name it, I've tried it to the best of my knowledge.
Please someone tell me what the problem is here, because although it's a very small thing, I use it daily and it's driving me mad!!
Thanks

OK.. I googled and searched here but seen nothing.. Tried the method for dropping in notification folder but nothing shows up.. Really need a much longer and louder sms tone.. IS it only specific file type. Tried .ogg /m4a and mp3.. Wont show up. I dont wanna use any app and get the stupid stuff it adds.
I've always kust used Ringsroid man, will convert any sound files on your phone into ringtones, notifications, or alarms...no bogus crap added.
