General Questions for a new PDA owner

keithk_1973 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-14-2008, 11:50 PM

Since this is my first PDA device (I was chosen to be the advocate for it) I have some questions that may seem basic to everyone else. I have discovered that I can download ringtones from places like myxer, but was wondering where else I can get them from. I was also wondering where I can get screensavers. I have tried myxer, but my 800 will not save the image. Any suggestions??

Are you talking about a theme? There are lots of Windoes Mobile theme sites out there. Just search on Google for "Pocket PPC themes" or "Windows Mobile themes".
If you don't need/want a theme, you can save any pic to your phone, and under "start" "settings" "today" there is an option to browse and set a pic as your back ground.

You may wanna start off at the Pocket PC themes, but take a look at the WeatherPanel and PhatFinger stuff they have first. 320x320 themes are kind of hard to find these days as wel as software that supports that resolution, but something may come up soon.

NOTE: that if you save a pic as a background, edit the transparency level to 0% so it won't look jacked up.

I was wondering if there was a way to download one and save it. I noticed the setting in my photos& videos, but was wanting to download other pics.

yea, you actually DL like you would on your desktop.
If you are looking at the pic at a website or something, clicking on it will (may have to click and hold it until a menu pops up) will give you the option to save it.
Or you can DL on your desktop and transfer it to your Treo via active sync.

PPCGeeks has both a themes forum and a ring tone forum just look at the forums page or search. I have found that most themes work on this devices but some may look a little jacks up so go check out those forums you will find what you are looking for. Also to save any picture from the internet just us your stylus to tap and hold on the screen then chose save as follow the prompts to save in the desires location
