i know it has more then likely been asked before but i couldnt find it. im looking to put 2 ringtones on my phone. only place i can find them is on youtube. i tried to just record it using ringdroid but the quality isnt very good. does anyone know a good way of doing this? or would do it for me maybe in the market or something? if it helps i want "the chicago code" shows theme song as my ringtone. and the old spice theme (the whistling at the end of the commercials) for txt, emails, etc
I know there's a website to go to to make your own ringtones, and it has an option to pull from a YouTube video. Now, I can't remember the website because it's been about 4 years... but Google really quick.
Another option is to use TubeMate or something else to convert the video to mp3 & then trim it in Ringdroid or whatever app you use.

I was just wondering if its possible at all to watch youtube videos on the fuze. I dont want the crappy website where it streams youtube videos in 3gp. I wanna access all of the videos, not just the ones youtube has bothered to convert. Thanks for the help in advance!
If you browes your windows directory you will find a You Tube application which is pretty well made, and has a High Quality option for very good looking clips.
I dont see any youtube application? I have the att fuze by the way, not the unbranded htc pro. Not sure if that makes a difference. Is there any place that I could download the app from?
On the Fuze, it's already present in the Programs tab.
I dont know if I am looking in the wrong place or if the app got deleted or something but I cant find it anywhere for the life of me. I dont see any youtube applications under the programs tab. Is it hidden somewhere?
It's a funny thing that AT&T did, so don't feel stupid.
You have to go - through the file explorer - into the Windows directory. You'll find that YouTube app in there. Cut it and paste it into Start Menu>Programs and you'll be on your way to YT enjoyment.
Btw, not to burst your bubble or anything, but it's in this raphael section....if you had searched youtube on fuze.....then you would've found it....

Does anyone know a way to view video file icons by their thumbnail outside of the picture/video view and not in wmv format?
I want to use something like winterface as video launcher for my movies/tv shows, and maybe music, but don't want the stupid windows-flag icon that is used for my avi files. Does anyone know of an explore plugin that would generate thumbnails for the icons?
I'm interested in any solutions, even if i have to do something on my computer before putting the videos on the sd card.
TIA
WTF? was i spam replied?
ok, in the meantime i found s-k-tools icon changer, but i'd like something a little better than just a generic icon for all my AVIs. Maybe there is no way to do this because winmo just don't quite got what it takes?
hopefully i can find a way to do this soon enough. I'd eventually like to get something like boxee running on a winmo phone, with plugins for wikilyrics and everything. I'll probably have to wait for fennec to come out (and buy a better phone than a herald) but that's the dream anyways.
i'd like to hear any advice or comments if you've got any.
bump
anyone have any ideas?
Sorry guys, been searching and browsing but cannot find the answer to my question. I am coming back to WinMo after a couple years on Android and on Android there were market apps called iMusic, Music Tao, Music Online, etc. which would allow you to search for songs and stream them or download locally as MP3. Are there any similar apps that have both of these options?
There are programs that read torrentfiles, since providing illegal content is...well, illegal, I won't provide the name here, but I guarantee you that a simple google will do the trick
Also, if you're searching for 1 song, instead of an entire CD: prostopleer.com
Don't mind the Russian language, just fill in the title of the song in the searchbar, hit enter and press download.
--> If this is considered not allowed on this site, please just delete this post, or notify me and I will do so
Thanks for the response. I am open to free, or paid (alternatives to Amazon MP3 app), so I don't see why it would be a problem to share info on the apps that are out there.

Nanogroove in fact downloads the last heard song. You can find it in the root of the SDCard --> groovy.mp3. Just rename it and store it somewhere else. And voila you got the song you just streamed in quiet good quality (128/192kbps).
nanoGroove is amazing...my g0d..is all i can say
I like this russian site prostopleer dot com
seems to work on my hd2 but yes it's only in russian but it's easy to figure out. just type the name and search...
you can use SciLor's GrooveMobile v7 to stream music (not download)
found it here:
h**p://hd2apps.blogspot.com/2010/04/htc-hd2-apps-scilors-groovemobile-alpha.html
how do you use nano? i can't get anything to play or download on my hd2. do you have to go somewhere else to listen to the music it downloads ?

You always need the newest Version IMEDIATELY when it is released (at the moment 1.06) otherwise you wont be able to access grooveshark. Maybe you got an old one running....
I have both nanogroove and scilors groove mobile and scilors gm downloader.
Nanogroove is not a downloader but each song that is streamed is saved on the phone SD card as groovy.mp3. So I simply rename the file and voila, I have the mp3.
Scilor's is much better. Although the interface is bad imo. The streaming app is separate from the downloader. The downloader worked for me. I haven't used it in a while so I don't know if things have changed. search for Scilor's here or google.
Go to HD2 apps blog for the nanogroove. I am too lazy to post the links but if google gives you a bunch of hits just search for hd2apps on facebook.
Occasionally I like to watch some very long video podcasts, but I usually only listen until it sounds like something important is happening, then I go back to the video. This is easy enough to do on a pc, but I would like to do the same thing on my droid. Does anyone know if such an app exists or if it would even be possible? From what I have read, older versions of android require a video "surface". Not sure if this holds for 2.2/2.3. Even just being able to shut of the screen would help. Thanks ahead of time to those who provide insight!
maybe
Have you tried Act 1 Video Player? I can't post a link because I am new here. I saw a review for this app, and it says it has a "play in background" option. The review said it cost $2.49, but there is a free trial version.
I currently use an iPhone. I had a Motorola Atrix for a few days, but returned it, because I could not get it to play video podcast in the background. That was before I found the review for the above mentioned app.
Our phone system at my job sends voicemails as WAV attachments through our Exchange server when someone leaves a message on your extension. Even up to when I was on my Galaxy S3 I've had to install a third party audio player that supports WAV files to play these.
I recently discovered that Kit Kat (4.4) now plays these WAV attachments natively. I and two of my fellow IT teammates all purchased the N5 on release day but while both of their N5s will play them as expected, I get a popup that says "Sorry, cannot open this file". I tried a factory reset and only installed apps that weren't audio related, but still get the same message. Anyone else able to open WAVs or getting this error? How would I troubleshoot this? I also tried resetting all app defaults in the app manager to no avail.
Thanks in advance for any help with this. Minor annoyances are usually the ones that eat at me the most.
All of a sudden my phone has started doing this. I use to work fine with just Play Music installed and would just play the wav file from the email screen but it doesn't do it anymore.

This just started happening to me as well. Just minutes ago I went to play a voicemail I received through my Exchange email and had the same result. I even tried saving the .wav file but nothing will open it. I could probably install an audio player that will handle wav files, but I'm pretty sure this previously used to work fine.
Has anyone else experienced this, or have any ideas?

Its the same sort of thing for me as well, even if I download it it won't play. I think and this is only me guessing but its probably something to do with an update to Play Music since that is the only thing that has changed on my phone since it stopped working.

It looks like others have noticed similar things, such as here on a Motorola phone: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/fe2e143972
In that thread, two people reported that rolling back Play Music (and Quickoffice?) fixed the problem, while one person said that didn't fix it. I just tried it myself and still have the same problem after going back to the factory versions of Play Music and Quickoffice.
I also found that Google officially doesn't even list wav files as supported by Play Music: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1100462
It looks like people are just installing other media players that will handle wav files... but I liked that I could play them directly in the email without even having to open another app...

I don't even have Quickoffice installed. I have tried a few different music players but for some reason they don't like to play it from within the email app.
I have this problem too with the copy of my voicemail that is delivered via MMS to Hangouts (see my thread here). Play Music and VLC just won't play them. Installed MX Player which opens and plays them without issue.

.WAV Issues

I am a new N5 owner, and have the same issue. This was my first major disappointment with the phone, coming from a N4. My N4 handled .wav voice mails native in the mail app, which I was excited about, coming from a HTC One S where I had to download each attachment and play it in an alternate app. I feel like I have moved backwards.
I have noticed for a very long time on my N5. In fact, not sure it was working from the very beginning. When trying to pick the WAV as attachment in Gmail, I'm presented with the native picker only a couple XBMC remote control apps. The odd thing is is that if I select that WAV from a file explorer app, such ES File Explorer, it presents many more apps with which to play the file, including Google Play Music itself, which then is played flawlessly in Google Play. I wonder why the native app picker doesn't present you with all the music player apps that are installed.
Mine definitely used to work... I was very surprised today when I found it didn't work anymore. I've had my Nexus 5 for over 3 months and I'm positive I've listened to voicemail email attachments during that time. Not sure what's up with this, but I'd really like this feature back...
I tried MX Player and many other players... some will open the file after saving it, but I couldn't make any work from email. Tapping on the attachment just says "Couldn't play the track you requested."
Sad to see this go too. I was playing .wav files through the native gmail app as well until just a few days ago. Now I get no app installed to open this file.
Ended up buying Wav Player by Dennis Lockshine. This app will play within the gmail app.
Same here on my nexus 5. Already had this issue back in december ended up fixing it when I rooted and reinstalled everything. Now the problem is back again.

Just bought Wav Player. Works great. Not a free fix but for $0.99, well worth it.
Thank you
Just uninstalled Play Music App updates in settings and was able to listen to a .wav voicemail for the first time.

I have the same issue and I didn't always have this problem... I'll try the app mentioned above.

I tried this the other day, with no luck. I even cleared the Play Music cache, rebooted, wiped cache and dalvik cache in TWRP, still nothing. After seeing your post I decided to just try a .wav voicemail again and now it actually works... I haven't changed anything since the other day. Really strange. I've disabled automatic updates to Play Music and will just leave it be for now, since this is working again...
For those for whom removing updates does not work, could it be that you're running a custom ROM or have a Gapps package with an update to the app that can't be reverted back to the version with which WAVs can be played from Gmail?
