Droid charge messaging ringtones

For Droid Charge, I would like to set a unique ringtone for specific contacts when a text message is received. I can set a specific ringtone for each contact when a call is received, but I can find no way to set a unique and different ringtone when a text message is received. For example, for contact Jane Doe, I set a ringtone for calls received and I want to set a different ringtone for Jane Doe text messages received. Is there away to do this?

If the Droid Charge is like all other smartphones, you'll have to download a 3rd party app such as Handcent to do this.

Problems with AOL e-mail and Droid Charge

Problems with AOL e-mail and Droid Charge
After setting up my AOL email account on my Charge, it has been syncing new messages ok, but I've been having other problems:
- Syncing AOL mail: I have the Charge set to sync 50 emails (set up the same way as my Comcast Account) but the AOL account pulls up the last 50 old emails and delivers them to the phone. (Comcast does not do this). If I delete these old messages, it just pulls up the same amount of even older mail. Very frustrating. Because of the 2nd problem below, some of these messages were actually deleted on my AOL account before I realized what was happening. It seems I have to just keep 50 old mails on my Charge to prevent this from happening. Any ideas?
- Second problem (kinda related) Deleting Old Mail: When I delete AOL emails I have read on the Charge, they are also deleted from my 'old mail' folder on AOL and sent to deleted mail. This is not how it worked on my BB Storm2. After deleting them with the Storm, the AOL mail would show them as read and put them in 'old mail' unless I told the Storm to delete them from the server. I cannot find any "choice" option on the Charge. I hate this because the "deleted mail" folder on AOL dumps its contents much more quickly than the "old mail" folder. How do I stop this from happening?
FYI, both Comcast and g-mail are working as they should.....
Thanks,

Dear Richs10,
As to the second problem, I have seen this before in other threads. The only solution I can come up with is to delete the AOL account and set it up on the phone from scratch. The reason for this is that the ONLY time you are able to see the option for leaving email on the server (or removing them) after reading on the phone is during the account setup process. After the account is set up, there seems to be no way to access this setting again. Kind of dumb, IMHO, but that seems to be the case.
If you need step-by-step walkthrough of the account setup, PM me.

Frustrated with Droid Charge

I have the 4G Samsung Droid Charge and I have horrible coverage! It is so frustrating. Even with WiFi, the apps stop constantly because of the poor coverage. We even have that $200 antenna that is supposed to extend our coverage. My husband has the GZone Commando and his phone has excellent coverage sitting right next to mine. There has to be something I can do. Anytime I try to play a game or do anything, the apps close. Is anyone else having issues with the Charge? I would love to get some suggestions for fixing this.
<Post moved to the DROID Charge by Samsung from the My Device for more exposure.>

When I stream movies or play games at work, it is on the charger the whole time. I ran that speed test this morning and this is what I got – I think this is the problem –
                WiFi (at home) – Download: 4919 kbps, Upload: 4193 kbps and Ping: 46 ms
                Verizon Network (at work) – Download: 1181 kbps, Upload: 122 kbps and Ping: 164 ms
Wow - I just ran it again at work so it's the Verizon Network and this is what I got:
     "Network communication issues"
and again:
     download: 4 kbps, Upload: 34 kbps and Ping: 207 ms
I'm using speedtest.net
What should it be if I want to play games and stream movies?
Last night the game I was playing stopped and had to be restarted 8 times in 15 minutes.
Thanks for your help.

Droid Charge Issues

I have only had my Droid Charge for 2 months and I absolutely hate it! It locks up all the time and I have to take the battery out. Then it switches to 3G where I live. Now, it won't charge. I charge it every night. Charged it last night, barely used it today and it's almost dead. It's been on the charger for 2 hours now and is still showing a dead battery. I have about had it with this phone. Of course Verizon is absolutely no help! They're the ones that talked me into this phone. I wanted the Iphone and they said this one was way better. It's a piece of crap!!!

I haven't had the opportunity to read through all of the Droid Charge Issue posts but it appears that we are ALL having similar problems to an extent....
I have had my charge since May and if memory serves me correctly, I had it replaced once within the initial month or so of having it
I have ALWAYS had an issue with 4G coverage..I've always been told that it's due to a lack of a connection in my area but friends in my home are able to get 4G service and I can in certain parts of the home. I was actually getting 1X service which is just RIDICULOUSLY unacceptable for what I paid for this phone.
Lately the 4G/3G service in my home has not been AS BAD but still is not great. I never had a signal at work and was told it was due to the structure of the building as the service was designed to work outdoors, really?? so I'm going to sit outside and make phonecalls and get the internet connection I need?! umm NO.
my Biggest complaint recently has been my phone freezing, the screen during off during a call in which i need to use the dialpad and cannot get the screen to come up and the CHARGE's inability to CHARGE!!!! When I use my wall charger (YES the SAMSUNG charger that came with the phone) or a cigarette lighter charger in my car the phone goes back and forth from charging to not charging. I have to move it a million different ways for it to charge and cannot guarantee that it will charge during the night. Due to the nature of my job and the situations that I am put into while at work, I need my phone to be RELIABLE and CHARGED at all times! I cannot deal with this charging issues. It was not happening as recent as two months ago. I noticed that my car charger worked fine and then one day would bring up the message asking if I want to access the media or mass storage instead of charging it. The mere sound of the beeping going from an uncharged to a charged state every second without any movement is making me what to end my contract.
Verizon needs to do something. I have not turned my phone in yet because I am NOT WILLING To pay all of the money that I do to be sent a REFURBISHED phone that was turned in for the same issues!
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
I was also talked out of buying the iPhone back in May (of course theres little profit on them for VZW!)

Droid Charge bad phone/failure - verizon support non existent

>>Duplicate post removed for cross-posting violations of the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service
See Droid Charge bad phone... for original message<<
Message was edited by: Verizon Moderator

Why would they sell a phone that was defective? Why do they not own up that the device did not and has not functioned?
Let me add some other issues I missed.
7) Dials multiple times the same number.
8) Dials the number minutes after trying to call a phone number
9) constantly force closes applications.
10) Battery life is non existent (I have bought at least 8 spare batteries)
11) Slow to respond
Let me just post what I have done.
1) I stopped by a store
2) Called customer service
3) tried to create a question in forum and verizon deleted it.

Droid Charge - dropping service, no incoming calls, screen freezing, going black...

This is my 4th Droid Charge. I've never been so disappointed. Nor have I ever needed one to work more. Not a good time to have a phone that just plain is not up to par.
This replaced a Fascinate, that I did not have problems with until Verizon did some sort of "download" on.
Ph #1 - literally acted possessed. Until the manager saw for himself after treating me like a mental case. ie "Well, set the screen time out for TEN MINUTES, if the screen keeps going black!" So he did & it went black, not to be "restored" without being turned off & re-started. Then, when it did "time-out" suddenly it went into V-Cast...no one was near it. It also would go into airplane mode...I could not retrieve voice mail; after entering the 2nd of 4 #'s, the screen went black.
Finally, it got replaced after then entire staff "witnessed" the phone I had to live with day in & day out. Guess the customer is always wrong....until proven time & time again, that the phione REALLY IS defective despite years of never complaining about a phone.
Ph#2 - I NEED the voice dial....I do. I travel in my work I have appts. If I am going to be late NEED to be courteous & call. While driving on the freeway, getting off & stopping only makes things ten times worse. While in the cup-holder, I can tap that....say who to call...and viola...BUT....it immediately says "Turn phone off" ...then try again. Well. how many times can you do that?? I mean really. How many times are you expected to turn your phone off for an app that comes installed ON the phone & should work. Right??
Ph#3 - Would NOT hold the signal...AND Voice Dial did not work.... did not back up info....messages did not come through, nor did phone calls. {even in the Verizon Store!! NO SIGNAL...they erased my phone for the umpteenth time!!! Grrrrrrr]
Ph #4 - arrived with YouTube loaded...to "How to Use Your Android Phone" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No kidding.
Screen locks up. Screen goes black & phone turns itrself off. Will not hold a signal...calls not coming through....
I saw others are also having these same issues. VERY frustrating trying to do "business" from a phone that is totally uncoopereative & unrealiable.
Very disappointed in this phone.

Steve, if the tech says get a replacement then that is what I would do.
But before I did, I would have them walk me thru a hard reset.
Sometimes that will help with ALL sorts of problems.
Godd luck!

Text messages ringtones are not working in the Storm Two

Device: Storm Two running OS version 5.0.0.713 on the Verizon Wireless network.
Recently, I upgraded from a Storm One to a Storm Two because of a multitude of issues with the Storm One; not enough memory, constant lock-ups; dropped calls, etc. On the Storm One I had customer ringtones for contacts; so when a contact calls me the phone will sound a specific ringtone for that contact; the same for text messages from that contact. Now that I have the Storm Two the text message tones for the contacts are not working. In fact, even when I select a ringtone for text messages for a contact the phone will ring the generic ringtone that comes with the phone. If I go into the sound profile and change the generic ringtone to one of my own and the contact sends me a text/sms message the phone will ring the ringtone that I selected in the profile that is being used at the time. This is not the way it worked on the Storm One. On the Storm One; if I have a specific ringtone for the contact and that contact sends me a text message it will sound the text messages tone for that contact. These ringtones have worked for previous devices including my Treo and Palm devices. The ringtone files worked well in the previous Storm One.
So to make a long story short; I want to know why my text message ringtones are not working as designed/setup-up. If a contact calls me the phone will sound the ringtone for that contact; but if that same contact text me it will not ring the ringtone for the contact. This is annoying and I am at my wits end trying to find out why this is not working.

Hi Jain....
Field separator is for separating the fields.That means it will effect every field in the node.
But end separator is not like that.It will apply at the end ofall fields of a node.It will effect node not a field.
according to ur scenario if u use data.endseparator 'nl',output will come like this
2008/0701$101
2008/0701$102
2008/0701$103
2008/0702$105
if u want new line for every field try to insert a separate node for second field.That means
MT_DATATYPE:
Data -
1:UnBounded
. .OrderDate----
1:1
<Data2> 1:1
. ....OrderNo -
1:1
now give data.endseparator 'nl'
data2.endseparator 'nl'
if possible try like this....

TEXT MESSAGE RINGTONES 3.0 UPDATE MISSING

I'm a huge fan of apple. I'm a huge fan of their products and I convert people to their products all the time.
Who here wants to see apple make one little change they should have done a while ago to the iPHONE??
This message's purpose is to create traffic towards this website link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
And help change the biggest set back towards the iPhone. *Everyone should go to that link and POST FIX TEXT MESSAGE RINGTONE AND LET US CREATE OUR OWN!*
Who here is annoyed with having the same default ringtone option for their text messages? To not have it in the 3.0 update is appalling!!!! I thank the "Apple Gods" for all the new and wonderful things that came with the new 3.0 update, (Copy and Paste). BUT! Where is the new option of being able to create our own ringtones for TEXT MESSAGES! The text message default ringtones are boring and other phones will start to beat you out because lots of people like to have options. WHO IS WITH ME ON THIS?
Sincerely,
Dave
One Concerned and Annoyed YET Biggest Apple Fan.

We definitely listen and that's where we go to submit your feedback but use it wisely. I don't want to imagine what would happen if that starts getting spammed. Keep in mind that most, if not all, of the new features in our updates come from the feedback our engineers receive through that link.

What can I use my Droid Charge for, after I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S2 for VZW on Sept 8?

what can I use my Droid Charge for, after I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S2 for Verizon on September 8?
I guess it can run fine on Wi-Fi and become a media player.... or is there a market for 1-month-old Droid Charge phones?
How much trade-in value can I get from VZW or BestBuy or Amazon?
Thanks!

Is it normal for someone to have general diffuculty charging an ipad? I see the "not charging" message even when I am using the charger and cord that came in the original box, plugged into a wall socket directly. It is normal for me to plug it in overnight and to see no charge whatsoever the next day. I have never had so much trouble using a friggin charger in my life. It just seems to be exceedingly finicky. What am I missing?

Charging your iPad should not be problematic. It should be an easy thing to do using the charger provided with your iPad connected to a known good wall outlet.
The charging problem you are experiencing is most like caused by:
1. A faulty charger
2. A faulty cable
3. A bad wall outlet
4. A problem in the iPad.
The first three of these are easiest to eliminate. Try a for ends charger and cable. Make absolutely sure your outlet is good. Try other outlets.
If the charger, cable and outlet a proven to be good then the problem lies in the iPad.
Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Can't get Droid Charge to access my internet email

I have Verizon/Yahoo email, which has a verizon.net address. I just bought a Samsung Droid Charge and have tried to set up access to my email on the phone using the preloaded Verizon icon under email set up. It just keeps saying that the attempt fails.....anyone having this problem?..can you give me some advice? Thanks!

When you do a clean install often you will need to start from scratch and re setup your Internet like starting a new.
You may have to delete any old account you had before and make a new account using the same settings as you had before.
When you do a reInstall it basicly reverts all your settings back to the way they were when you first started.
Cheers Don

How well does the Droid Charge do when dropped accidentally?

how well does the Droid Charge do when dropped accidentally? any screen or internal damages?
I'm probably going to have some kind of rubberized case.

Please consider getting an otterbox commuter case at least from amazon or otterbox.com
the defender series otterbox case with screen protector case isn't being shipped yet so i am using
the otterbox commuter case with verizon wireless store's 3pack of screen protectors - i do not like screen protectors but verizon sells the ones for the charge specifcally and it will
hold me over just fine until defender ships in august or september
either case helps to not accidentally press the power button easily while holding this droid Charge
there's my advce
ps these add bulk to phone i like the commuter case it is way sturdy polycarbonate or whatever STRONG black plastic with port covers except for hdmi that already has a cover built into phone
the defender series will be bulkier

How can i compose a message ringtone

how can i compose a message ringtone on iphone 4?

The current OS does not support custom message ringtones. iOS 5, reportedly releasing this autumn, will.
You back up your phone using iTunes. See the user guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
