Secret apps that make the touch better!

Sprint Touch

Nov 14, 2007, 2:10 PM
first one is the keyboard anoying it switches to the 2 key. all you need to do is download the happy tapping keyboard. it gives you the full qwerty at all times.

mms download the mms app from ppc geeks just google it

you can watch you tube and put flash on your touch simply downloading 2 drives TCPMP and flash just google it and it will come up.

Next trick i found out to see stored videos on your card in the video program you have to store your actual videos in the dcim media section of your card.

what i dont know yet is how to set mp3 ringtones for text messages if someone knows please share....also how to put mp3 ringtones from your card without saving it to your device...and without paying 30 buks for the contacts pro app.

Take off the back coveruse a finger nail to pull out the access panel on the right side of the Touch the card goes in the top slot. I've been told to use the non pointy end of the Stylus to push the card down until it snaps. Contacts side down.

choose a ringtone you want and instead of sending it to your phone via putting in your phone numbers, just download it to your computer by clicking "Save ringer to your computer". The file wil be m4a and nonreadable but dont worry it'll work on the Touch. Find the file to where you downloaded it to. Then Go to your Touch folder that activates when you put it in ActivSync through the USB and just drag and drop the ringtone into "My Ringtones Folder" then there you go, when you choose a ringtone, you'll see it there.

but the ENTIRE MP3 will PLAY, so find an MP3 trimmer online like audacity to cut it shorter] cause you wont be able to stop it.

In your MY DEVICE folder the file names "PIM" and "CEMAIL" hold all your contacts and emails. Copy these files on your memory card. if you ever loose your contacts just copy the file back onto your phone. before you do this you have to rename the original "PIM" file because it wont let you overwrite it, once you do this restart your phone and delete the old "PIM" renamed file. Same for "CEMAIL" for emails. So when you do a hard reset you wont have to active sync on a computer.

tcpmp.pocketpc.0.72RC1.cab (1.3MB) Scan and Save to Computer

I changed mine back today. I did a soft reset this morning, my phone took 10x longer to load and never connected to data or got a phone signal! When I tried to change it back, it took like five min. for it to react everytime I clicked a button or tab. Finally I got it to change back and did another soft reset and it seems ok. Hopefully nothig crazy is in my phone now.

There is an alternative program developed. I am using it on my "Touch". Its not true MMS. It uses your email to send the pictures. You can and have always been able to send pictures via email, that come through to the recieving party as a text message with a link to the picture. For example, with Sprint users to send a pic to another sprint user, you send it to. (xxx)xxx-xxxx@pm.sprint.com. There is also a service called Ptkpix that you can use. (xxx)xxx-xxxx@ptkpix.com The picture will be sent to the reciever reguardless of their carrier. This program by No2Chem does it all for you. Just makes it easier than manually sending it by e-mail. You can read all about it and get it here.

Place your mp3/wav right onto your mem card (listed with all the folders NOT in a folder) and it will show up for texts vms etc. Just a hint of advice your prolly gonna wanna trim that "clip" to about 3-5 seconds as it will play an entire mp3 for just 1 text and gets a little annoying (i recommend mpTrim for this ... free app you can get by googling) 😈

To answer your question of how to use mp3 ring tones as text messaging is a little lengthy. I am proud to know I figured this out on my own by playing around with the phone. Here we go be sure to use the pc for this portion. Be sure to have your data cord that came with ph connected to active sync.
1.Copy ring tones from where ever you may have stored them (my ring tone folder).
2.Right click on the ring tone then click send to, there will be folders that will pop up it may say wm.owner 1 document it is what ever your file has been saved as in active sync.
3.Once you send it there the active sync should start syncing

Now you need to go to your phone and do the rest.
