Shorten ringtones for use as text tones

I recently purchased a ringtone that I would very much like to use as a text tone... the problem is, the short little sound I would like to use as a text tone repeats four times, which I find to be a little excessive. I'm on a very basic LG Cosmos without even a touch screen - is there any way I can shorten this tone or am I SOL?

Well if it was a Smartphone you could use a App called Ringdroid but with this be a Basic Device i'd say the Ringtone you chose you pretty much have to go with the way it Rings. I know even on my Razr Maxx some of the ringtones i have Chose have a More than once Repeating tone.. Hope that helps some.. B33

Can ringtones be used as text tones

I was just wondering if my ring tones i have bought and made can be used as a text tone and how i could do that

Yes, they can. You just need to transfer them to your iPhone by iTunes and then go to Settings > Sounds > SMS/MMS. They are all there. You just need to choose the one you'd like to use.
PS. I use a polish version of iOS so I don't know how all the options are called in the english version. But I believe it has to be 'Sounds' & 'SMS/MMS'. If I am wrong then I'm sorry but I believe you will understand what to do

Is the component uiscrollbar for use with text fields only

Is the component uiscrollbar for use with text fields only?

Yeah, it isn't in the library, you need to call it up using code. It is documented in the help files though, so that should help you get it into use.

Is it possible (without jailbreaking) to make and USE custom Text tones?

Anyone?? I figured out custom ringtones with itunes etc (is it me or is itunes on a windows system complicated? lol..probably me....) but can you create and add your own text tones...and also can you have different tones for text, voicemail etc?
I am new to iPhone (had ipod touches which is very similar) prior to this just had a regular verizon envy touch phone...
Responses appreciated y'all

It is possible, I have custom ringtones on mine without jailbreaking using Windows 7 iTunes. Here is how to do it:
1. Using iTunes, select which song you want to create a ringtone from.
2. Right click the song, select Get Info, and go to the Options tab.
3. Choose a start time for where you want your ringtone to start. Add 30 seconds to that number, and input it into the stop time (to make a 30 second ringtone). Select OK.
4. Create an AAC version by either a) right clicking the song or b) selecting from the Advanced menu at the top of iTunes.
5. After creating the AAC version, you should be able to see it in iTunes. Right click the song, and select Show in Windows Explorer.
6. In Windows Explorer, right click the song and hit rename. The file will look something like "Ringtone.m4a"
7. Change the name to "Ringtone.m4r" (Note: if you don't see the .m4a extension or can't rename it, there is an option in Windows to allow you to rename file extensions)
8. After renaming, drag the song to your iTunes, and iTunes will automatically create a "Ringtones" folder, and will sync to your phone.
Enjoy!
(Don't forget to change back the start/stop times in your original song)

Justification for Using Oracle Text

Hello,
Can someone give me good cause (justification) for utilizing Oracle Text over other tools out there that are not tied directly to Oracle?
Apparently it is possible to identify metadata within text and do keyfield and keyword searches this way with other tools, but I question the accuracy, speed, or value in terms of data relationships with this approach. I feel the relationships belong in the database along with the indexes but can't convince anyone of this.
Has anyone experience working with Oracle Text where relationships help to drive the search and can give me good cause to this approach?
thanks

Hi,
Justification depends on your use. For starters:
1) It is included in both standard and enterprise editions of the db at no added charge
2) Uses SQL to query and maintain
3) Includes a number of built-ins for maintenance and optimization
4) It has 4 different index types for various uses
5) It can index any data type
6) UltraSearch is included in both standard and enterprise editions of the db at no additional charge (this is a crawler built on Oracle Text).
As for the integration - it is optimized for Oracle. If you were to build a standalone indexing solution you would probably design it a bit different, but Oracle Text takes into account the optimizer and database structure.
It has other features (same as some of the other tools) like a knowledge base, classification, clustering, theme extraction, language-specific features, ability to index documents in and out of the database, stopwords, stemming, wildcard, progressive relaxation, and the list goes on.
I guess my question would be, what is the reason for NOT using it? That might give me a better line on the reasoning so that I can respond with something a bit more specific.
Thanks,
Ron

Tools like Autonomy have fantastic searching functions, far in excess of what we get with Text. What they aren't very good at is the database side of things. So if your prime concern is to be able to search free text documents on your file system using a baroque range of filters then Text is not the right choice. But if you want to join the outcomes of free text searches with structured data in database tables or if the text you want to search is stored in database tables then using Oracle's built-in functionality is the better approach.
From your post I'm not sure which scenario fits your situation more closely.

Which consumes iPhone 5's battery faster? Using text tone or not but using the flash led notication alert?

Which consumes iPhone 5's battery faster? Using:
1. text tone
2. no text tone but using the flash led notication alert
Please reply.

Sounds to me that there is a process stuck and that is what is causing your battery issues. You say that you have restored to factory settings twice in the last 6 weeks. Were those restores from a backup, or a restore as new? If you restored to a backup and the issues are still there, then there is something wrong in your backup. Try restoring the device as new and not add anything to it right away and see if that improves the battery life.
I have a 5S with a push account for work and am dealing with email constantly during the day. I use my phone for upwards of 16-18 hours of the day, including web browsing, iMessages and phone calls. My battery is usually around 65-70 percent at the end of the day, which is only about 2-3% per hour of usage.
The echo deal is a carrier issue, and can depend on towers. I've seen it in the past, but it generally doesn't last long and corrects itself. The voicemail password might require you to contact AT&T to get them to reset your password. If you updated the software on the phone, it can sometimes require that reset. Are you still receiving your voicemail?
The Yahoo thing is Yahoo. I'm certainly glad I don't use if for all the stuff I've read.

How do I add a custom text tone?

I just recently learned how to add a custom ringtone to my phone and thought I'd use the same process to make a custom text tone. Even though BOTH files show up in my ringtones section of iTunes, I can't choose one of them for a custom text tone. Anyone know how I can make a custom text tone or move one of them so that it appears in the list of tones for texts? I should mention they are both .m4r files

You wait for iOS 5 to be released in the fall.
You can't do it in iOS 4.x or 3.x

Using Dynamic Text In iOS Applications

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to create a simple iOS app. I want to add a Dynamic Text box into the stage that will show the score, but every time I do so, the application encounters serious lag trouble. I'm using _sans font.
Does anyone have a method for using Dynamic Text that works well in iOS?

I had lots of lag when I used a TLF textfield... but decent performance when I used a "classic" TextField.

I'm trying to timestamp (RFC 3161) a pdf using my own timestamp server hardware but always get an error: "Certificate invalid for use" ...

I'm trying to timestamp (RFC 3161) a pdf using my own timestamp server hardware but always get an error: "Certificate invalid for use" (Original text - pt_BR:O certificado não é válido para uso). How can I get more info on what I'm missing or whats wrong with the certificate?

Which Acrobat version are you using? Do you use "Document Timestamp" command? If so, do you get this error during the signing process and the signature is not created or signature is created and you get this error when it is validated? If the latter you can open signature properties, click on the "Advanced Properties" and in the next dialog on timestamp's "Show Certificate". If you get this error during the signing process do you get an alert that shows some cryptic info with a number? If you do provide the content of this alert.
Also which Acrobat version (including minor) are you using?

I just bought my first Iphone the 5S and when I turn on my bluetooth the ringtone for my text, calendar, etc. comes through my Bluetooth instead of the phone. Is there a way to have the tones use the phone while bluetooth is on?

I would also like this issue addressed.
I am using a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ and when it is connected to my iPhone 4, email and text sounds are not audible through the phone. The phone just vibrates when a new text or email is received.
I don't really care if it plays through the headset, but it should at least play through the phone. I tested the headset from a BlackBerry and the alerts play fine.
