I'm not sure if Handcent has that. I set Handcent as my default messenger so I get those pop-ups when someone texts me and I can quick reply without opening the app. But the bubble never stays up, and it doesn't have a conversation widget like GDE. Not that I know of anyway.
This video came out really bad, sorry. I wasnt zoomed in enough. CHeck the description on the top right. I use Mixzing lite and iMusic in this. Mixzing is really good, definitely give it a try. u can load it as an app, a small widget, or a large widget.
I appreciate you posting these tips...I'm not techno-savvy at all! You're just so quick that if I don't hear what you're doing, so much gets lost on me! I keep pausing to "see" what's going on.
wrong,,you have no idea what you're talking about,,the droid's battery life is better, the keyboard is find and it doesnt have auto correct so u can type w/e u want. UI does not matter in the long run, and ther are ways to get 7 homescreens on the droid. you have no idea what youre talking about, the droid is so much faster
great videos! i love how much stuff the eris can do. but i have a problem...i downloaded the iMusic app but whenever i try to download any songs they just stay in pending and never actually download (some other songs never get to pending, just fail right away)....any ideas as to why this is? i would love to have lots of free songs on my eris!
@hjones7200, do you have to moto droid or the htc droid eris? cuz they run different operating systems, motorola droid runs android 2.0 while the eris is an older android version. that may be your problem
I downloaded the imusic and the only way i can listen to music is through the download key in the app. then when i switch to another app, the music stops. i can't find the option to save the music to my phone
When you click the song from your downloads in iMusic, it opens up in the HTC default music player. If you click away from that screen, it will stop. I didn't know that until I just tried. Download Mixzing Lite from android market (it's free). follow exactly what I do in this video after you download a song and you will have no problems. If you are clicking "download", the songs are being downloaded, sounds like you just can't find them.
if you go to the bottom menu and click the default Music icon from there, the songs you have downloaded on iMusic will show up there and let you minimize the application so you can do other things. For some reason it doesn't work that way when you launch the song from the iMusic application. Mixzing is better organized and downloads the album art for you. good luck email me if you still have problems.
Thank you! This has helped. Do I need to delete the song from imusic after i download it on my computer and back to my phone again? Also, once it is in Mixzing, if i delete it from imusic (before i put it on my computer) will it delete it from mixzing also? Do you use Mixzing as your default music player? I love my eris! I keep learning lots of new things to do w/ it from your videos..so thank you for posting them!!
i don't delete anything, i keep them. i've been downloading free music since 1999 with napster. it's up to you whether or not you delete the files, it's just a disclaimer so they can keep running legally. good luck
So, do you keep the downloaded files in imusic as well as mixzing? does that not take up more space? Or do you transfer from phone to computer, then back to phone? Sorry about all the questions. Also, do you know of any fun games right off w/out having to go through the whole market and then trying them out?
No, I select the iMusic folder in Mixzing and play the files from the iMusic folder, so the files aren't duplicated. I don't play games on the phone. I haven't dl'ed any games, sorry.
Ok, I am new to the Droid. I downloaded the IMusic, but then when i went to my music folder on my phone, it doesn't look like yours. it also does not have the setting options that you have. did you download a different music player than what came with the phone?
Access the music folder from your music player application, and make sure it is maximized, or in full screen mode so when you click the Eris' Menu button it pulls the Menu from the application, not the phone.
I found the music player that came with the phone isn't that good. I use the Mixzing Lite player, it's free for download & almost as good as the Zune.
In MixZing Lite, once you click the widget and it goes full screen, click Menu, Settings, Select Music Folders.
i listen to music a lot during the day, and i might be getting this phone. Question is how much battery will the phone take if i just use it for music during the day?(and of course texting and calls) it would be let down if i only got an hour out of the day of music and my battery is almost dead...
music doesn't seem to drain it much. google sync is a killer. the apps that use gps drain alot. basically you don't want too much stuff running in the background, if you can manage your apps w/taskiller correctly the battery life is acceptable. talking also uses alot, i think the talk time was tested around 4 1/2 hours by phonedog.
Does the music player have folders for the artists so you can click on the artist and THEN pick the album you want? I have an LG Dare and it does not allow this. Want to upgrade. Thanks.
yeah it does. if you click "Notorious BIG" it will go to LIFE AFTER DEATH Notorious BIG 12 Songs _____________________ READY TO DIE Notorious BIG 5 Songs _____________________ The album art will be next to both of them. Once you click the album it will show the songs in track order. the only bad thing about this mixzing player is that if it can't pull the album art, it doesn't let you go in and manually chose or override to another album cover like my Zune does.
yeah i explained in the annotations. if you click it from the iMusic app, it will open with HTC's default player. i use MixZing, so i just selected the iMusic folder and play from there.
depends on your sd card, it comes with an 8gig, you can buy one with more memory. 8 gigs can fit 1200 songs comfortably. i have 450 songs and i have 5.5 gigs left on my card.
