Cell Phone Notifications!

I use vibrate and a sound on my Droid but I don't text much - mostly with my (grown) kids and 1 sister and 1 friend. Most people my age (50's) don't text.

I didn't know that vibrating uses more power - thanks for that info. I do use a USB charger at work with my laptop. My Droid just barely makes it through the day without needing more charge.

Final Fantasy sounds.. Different ones for different alerts.

final fantasy kicks *kitten*!!!!!! Im playin eight right now. Just finished 7 for the 4th time, and Tactics for about the 15th time. kinda mad with tactics, though. Game set me up with 8 Ninjas in a battle, right after I just made about 200k on propositions, and not saving. I got slaughtered.

Just as an fyi.....vibration uses the battery almost twice as much as ringing. You will find that some days, your phone will die by noon. IF you have availability for it, get a charger for work, or take your charger with you. Most smartphone chargers double as a usb cable. If that is so, just plug it into your laptop or computer. It will charge it up, while at the same time, you can transfer pics into your computer to save memory.

Thanks for this!

I was thinking that I can't do vibrate and sound anymore...My old cellphone was the LG ENV...and I could go days with out charging it...

It's going to take some getting use too...but I do have a car charger, and a house charger..will get an office charger too..

Yeah, especially if you use your cell phone for work. Just check google. I am pretty sure studies have been done regarding how long of talk time you have per charge, how much screentime you have per charge, as well as ringtime. For instance, the moving background (like the one where the grass sways in the wind, and the sun reflects time of day) will eat your battery alive. Also, be sure to check your ram, to make sure no unneccesary programs are running in the background. This happens with apps that use auto upgrades. Dont use auto upgrades. Whenever you use an app, if they need updating, your phone will let you know. You can then choose to update them all at once. Otherwise, the system is always checking.

The tech at verizon..showed me how to swipe off apps running in the background...I am always making sure about that...So far the only apps I downloaded are MFP, Pandora, Weather, BoA, Facebook, Shazam, and Amazon MP3....I hope that I get the prompt for updates...I agree...I do not want auto updates.

There is an app for ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING nowadays. You will be gettin more. trust me.

When I get a text, I get Navi from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time saying "Hey, Listen!"

My email alert is the alert sound from Metal Gear Solid.

I'm a huge nerd. I'm proud of my sound scheme!

This wouldn't work for me but only because I have friends that would text me non stop so my phone would be all like "Hey, Listen!" "Hey, Listen!" "Hey, Listen!" "Hey, Listen!" "Hey, Listen!" an then I'd want to stab it like I wanted to stab Navi in the games. I mean I'd be trying to break all the jars in the room or cut down all of the grass and she would be like "Hey, Listen!" and I'd be like, "Hey, I'm breaking/cutting things at the moment, be with you in a bit." but she would just keep on saying "Hey, Listen!". But serious props for having that as a sound. I think the chest opening sound would be funny too.

Love the idea of the MGS alert sound! Might have to steal that .

My phone is on silent most of the day at work because it is frowned upon to even bring our phones to our desks. But I just use stock sounds found on the iPhone I change it up from time to time. I haven't really looked into custom sounds because my phone is on silent so much. My dad's ring tone is the duck quacking on the iPhone though. He set his iPhone ring tone to that and sometimes answers his phone by saying "quackline!" I love that weird man.

A doorbell sound along with vibrate.

I am at customer sites all the time.

vibrate

Mine is a simple sound that came with the phone. At work I put it on silent/vibrate but the vibrate doesnt work anymore so its just silent and sad.

Mine phone is always on vibrate but when I have the ringer on it's the bird whistle that came stock with my iPhone.
