Hello all, just an update on Saturdays adventures here in muggle land. -
This is not an advertiesment, but some info to help anyone who needs it.
As you know, We Die-Hard Harry Potter fans just love to make everthing we
own have a HP feel to it.
Well, Yesterday I upgraded my Cell phone. I use Sprint PCS and had a samsung
sph-N200 phone. I dropped it accidently into a huge tank of Oil at work and
it shorted out and got ruined. So I upgraded to the Samsung Sph N400 Visiual
phone. You know, the one that lets you surf the web, view pictures, program
ringers, etc.
Well, one of the selling featurs was that I could get my own speicalized
ringer and naturaly I wanted an HP theme ringer -Hedwig's theme. But where
to get it?
First I went to Sprint PCS website - their Ringers, wallpapers and screen
savers for the phone was rather limited and they charge a user fee for a set
amount of time to use their stuff! Why do that when I can get it for free
from other web sites?
I found a good Hedwig's theme Midi file.. but they wanted me to pay for it,
by making a "donation". I right clicked on the link, and told it to save the
file.. LO and behold I got the file! Free!
Then while surfing using google dot com, I found a website called
www.pcspix.com that allowes you to upload and down load up to 10 items per
month FREE. Thats right.. Be them Ringers, or screen savers for your phone
or what ever, it was FREE. I uploaded my hedwig's theme ringer, got on my
phone, surfed the web, downloaded it from pcspix, and wala! I now have a
Harry Potter Ringer on my cell phone.
I also downloaded a StarTrek Commuinicator "chirp", the sound you hear when
ever Kirk Snaps open
his commuicator. I have that set for some friends when they call..
Most of the ringers out there are simple midi files that are rather bland in
sound quality. Remindes me of the old ANSI-Graphic music we used to use when
dos 3.1 was out on the old 8088 XT computer systems. Some of these ringers,
don't even sound like the song they are supposed to be.
Now im looking for some graphics/screen savers that will work with it.. Due
to the size and stuff, It will be difficult. But I am sure I will find
something. I would like to find a castle or something like that for the
screen.
Under the display, I have the words, "The Wallow", Kind of like "The
Burrow".
If anyone wants a copy of the MIDI file, let me know and I will email it
directly to you, or I can put it in the file section of this group. Then
upload it to a website, and then use your phone to download it, save it and
Wala, you have a good HarryPotter ringer for your cell phone..
Oh, I no longer post to HP4GU main group.. if someone wants to, they can
forward this to the group.
Yes, im sending this to a few other groups incase someone else is havig the
same problems I had, finding a good HP ringer for their Cell phone.
