new treo user questions - Treo Forum

gian_h · 12-12-2006, 10:34 PM

hey guys. i've been a pocketpc user for 2 years now, and it's my first time using a treo, so bear with me

i got an unlocked treo 689 directly from palm, and it's been kicking my ass for the last couple of hours. i'm normally pretty competent with anything to do with technology, but it seems i've been proven wrong. any suggestions on helpful websites (aside from treonauts)?

first question: my treo came with an app "PassThruS..." that resets my treo whenever i try to click on it? anyone know what it is?

and secondly, is there any way to make mp3 ringers? aside from purchasing 3rd part software...

thanks in advance!

Not sure about the app that shuts your phone down. However, the members at Treonauts informed me that a 3rd party app is necessary for mp3 ringtones. I think they suggested ringo pro.

minitones is something you can use for creation of ringtones. however, i use magic audio editor to make my own ringtones. cut out the sample of the mp3 you want to use and there's a 10-20 second clip that you made all on your own! and ringo pro is the best 3rd part app for mp3 ringers, in my usage.

I haven't heard of "passthruS.." and it's not on my machine. But I wouldn't click it or better yet I'd delete it if you don't have any need for it.

Also, the board at treocentral.com is very active.
