The iPhone Collective

[exwdwcm]

I'm going absolutely crazy. Somebody posted an excellent ringtone site on here awhile back and I used it for a few Disney tones. I can't find it in my favorites or on here. It was SO easy to use. I have no luck making my own ringtones.

Anybody know what the site was?

I think it was myxer, Nikki

awesome- i was just looking for ringtones the other night- disney is even better, well except the strange looks i might get from my boss when 'when you wish upon a star' or 'you can fly' plays when it rings.

You can get the DCL "When you wish upon a star" horn too

I just changed the ringtone for my mother-in-law from Poor Unfortunate Souls to a clip from the Pirates movie - now her ringtone says, "Why's the rum always gone?"

You can get clips of movies to use as your ringtone from this site (free!):

Haven't posted in here for a bit, but wanted to share this tidbit.

I've always been a hard core screen protector and case user on my phones, including my iPhone. Well, about a week ago, I broke the case, don't ask, while it was off the phone. Frustrated me, but I didn't have time to pick up another one. I also had a really old screen protector on it, and took that off as well.

Anyway, long story short, I'm NEVER putting "clothes" on my iPhone again! I forgot just how sleek this thing really is, and how good it looks "naked". I also never realized just how nice the screen looks, and reacts, without a protector on it. So far, it's been a week, and I'm loving it. I generally keep the thing in my left front pocket, with nothing else in there.

So how many other iPhone lovers out there like to go naked with it?

Never had a case for it, mainly as it looks ugly as hell with most cases on it and I'm very vain

I have always enjoyed using my ipod in the car to the point that I rarely listen to the radio itself anymore.

I got an Iphone about 3 weeks ago and am thrilled with all of it. Still learning a few things... next topic, GPS!

But when I tried to plug my iphone to the fm transmitter I got a message about it not being compatiblle with my iphone.

So I have begun the grand search for an fm transmitter compatible with the iphone, will play the ipod component, AND get my phone messages AND charge too.

All the reviews on the various sites including the Apple store are confusing and very few are positive about any one brand.

Does anyone use their Iphone in the car with a successful FM transmitter?

Thanks

I get that message sometimes but it still works fine

FM transmitters by their very nature are finicky. It depends on how clear of a channel you can get, etc. This is why reviews vary wildly.

I do have to ask what the error message that popped up was. Some messages say that the phone won't charge, while others say that the accessory is incompatible. If it just won't charge, you can still use it.

I use a Belkin that I purchased at Walmart. I believe it was around $80-$90. I've never had a problem and am able to use the phone, ipod & charging without issue. Messages just play back through the stereo as do the phone calls if I answer while it is in the dock.

Nothing wrong with going with a "naked" iphone as long as you can deal with the potential financial consequences if something happens to your phone.

I realize as soon as I post this there will be 125 people who respond "I don't keep my iphone in a case and NOTHING has ever happened to it".

I go without a case or cover depending on where I'm going. If I'm throwing it in my purse, I use a case so I don't have to worry about it. If I want to stick it in my pocket, I don't bother with a case, because it's too bulky. However, if I'm going to Hershey Park (near my house) or some other place where I'm really worried about my phone, I take out the SIM card, put it into my old regular phone so I can make and receive calls.
I did drop my older iphone (I have a 3Gs now, which was an upgrade from the 3G), on the concrete floor of our garage a few times. It never affected the phone. It was pretty scraped up, though. I do know someone who dropped hers on a sidewalk and cracked the screen.

 

[Willow1213]

I keep mine in a case at all times. I was fortunate enough that the two times that I dropped in on concrete (in the same week ) it was kept completely protected in its case. I do not, however, have a screen protector. I usually do, but I am picky about them and only use the "anti-glare" kind. The others don't feel right under my fingers. To me, the screen protector is all about keeping it clean.

Oh, and just FYI, you can use Windex on your phone - (not the ammonia kind). Just spray very lightly on a cloth and wipe on. Be sure to use a dry cloth to remove streaks afterward.

I had an Ifrogz case on mine for all of a day and then my DD confiscated it to use on her phone. A week later not one of the four of us had a case on our phones. I never had a case on my original Iphone and that took lots of abuse. I figure if I damage the phone that is what I bought Applecare for in the first place.

That's kinda where I'm at. I love the thing with no case or screen protector now, and figure heck, it's a year old. If something happens to it, I do have Apple Care, yeah, I know, not really for physical damage, but in another year, I'll be up for a renewal, and probably a new phone anyway. Why keep it pristine when it will be due for a replacment.

I get a message, something like "do I want to switch to airport mode?" -- what does that mean?

So, my present fm transmitter should be ok to use?

It means that the phone portion of the iPhone may make noise in the FM transmitter. It's a buzzing noise that can be very irritating. Airplane mode turns the phone radios off.

You can try using it without Airplane Mode on and see if it works well. If not, look into getting a new one.

I much prefer mine naked and carried one (well, two, actually - upgrade in there) for over a year and half naked. Dropped it several times in rather spectacular ways without serious damage. I did break the silence switch on the 1st gen - crushed it in so it wouldn't switch. And I had a teeny scratch in the middle of the screen on my 3G. And then this happened:

Yes, it's held together with scotch tape. After I got my new one, I carried it in a Speck CandyShell case. I think it does the best job of maintaining the look and feel of the iPhone while still trapping it in a case. Of course, then my iPhone and spiffy case were stolen from me. And now I have my new iPhone 3GS, but still haven't acquired a new case for it.


(And, yes, that's a picture of my kid at Disney World - with his birthday pin on his hat and his pin lanyard around his neck. Which makes this post On Topic, right. )
