Since your memory is local ie contents are on your phone SD card, you don't need WiFi to view your video contents or whatnot.

Is there no app that can cut and convert audio format on andriod phones? I can remember one on symbian " Audiocube "

Chitexs250: pls explain what u mean by SD card pls...
An sd card is a memory card that allows you store videos, pictures, games, documents et al on your mobile phone. Comes in different formats and sizes from 125Megabyte(MB)- 64Gigabytes(GB). The bigger the size, the more contents you can store on your phone. Note GB is bigger than MB.

IOS devices however use a form of inbuilt memory but without the option of a memory card slot hence memory can not be expanded i.e a 32GB iphone can only store 32gb worth of data and can never be expanded to 64GB when full whilst eg the galaxy SIII can be expanded because it has a memory card slot.
Effectively once your iphone memory is full you either delete a few items or just stick with it.

Chitexs250: ... we dont need internet connection to view our live Tv
Unless you want to watch videos, listen to music already stored on your sd card you don't need an internet connection. However to watch live tv, you need to have an internet connection because the files are not stored on your phone rather being streamed over the internet to your own phone.

I hope all is clear now.

A file converter will do just about anything including multiple audio formats MP3, OGG, WAV, WMA, AAC, FLAC, M4A, or MMF. Bout cutting,trimming or slicing, HTC phones come with this features, if not get 'MP3' cutter from the play store.

Nooo. We cant use that in Nigeria. It is a cloud system ooo. How it work is this: It upload the file to their server. The server computer converts it to ur desired format. Then u download it back to ur fone. Indirectly, U spend 10MB to convert a .wma file of 4MB to .mp3 .

raynold17 :
mine is non rooted and the apps move all my installed app apart from the inbuilt apps (Facebook and twitter).
probably all ur apps are sd card based. e.g apps such as whatsapp, instagram, TTpod, pic stitch, jbed(java) all depend on fone memory. fyi i installed these apps from google playstore. app2sd will tell u which apps are movable to d memory card and which cannot. dats d problem. am currently thrilled with dis game i just installed called Last Defender, so addictive and interestin but gulps 24mb of my fone memory and can't be moved to d sd card even usin apps2sd!

Still not getting it. If u really used "Audio cube", it does not need internet. These ones will upload ur file to their server. It means dat u cannot do the conversion without internet or sufficient internet bundle.

Pls try them before you make that assertion.

at least read the info on google play store BEFORE CONCLUDING.

THE FIRST ONE MP3 Media Converter says:
Media converter allows you to convert your media (videos of flv, 3gp, mp4 and more...) files to mp4 or mp3;
Advanced options supports setting start and end positions, allows you to extract short audio from a movie to create your ring tone.
Notes:
This app uses LGPL ffmpeg and mp3lame libraries as underlying codecs.


since when do you need codecs to upload things to servers.


from a comment

Trill - April 13, 2012 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus with version 1.2
Works great
The speed of converting depends on the processor which is the CPU also remember these are mobile phones they aren't on the same level as actual desktop computers. If you don't have a dual core phone then wow, even so it will greatly depend on the clock speed and software optimization



try it first, and show us screenies of it asking you to upload to server. since when did you join the FUD group

Dude I'm not in Nigeria. Send an email if you need help and I promise to reply. Bout a data plan, ask around or something. A guy called Leopantro may be able to help or ask on other threads.
BoboYekini: hahaha,,this is sooo funny!! cheesy i nearly choked on my eba, gawd!!
Lol. Quite a few are puzzled by such terms. Funniest was when a man told me he paid a guy in computer village #5000 for every app on his iPad. I had to excuse myself and go laugh out loud in a closet out of respect. grin

Purpose of this thread is just to help those not up to scratch with technical, complex stuff we discuss on the other android thread and maybe recommend the odd android apps in between.

@BlackBaron,was browsing through the site and saw my name and i was like "wow,I'm famous". i still use a BIS plan on my android phone with some apps you can get at the play store but i have stopped giving them out. i have learnt my lesson; no more Mr nice guy.but for 1k5 a month, i download and torrent like crazy.
Everyone knows about opera mini but i decided to try UC browser and observed something strange. downloading with opera mini, dolphin browser or the stock browser is a bit slow but with UC browser is very fast. i downloaded a psp iso with a file size of 1.3gb in five hours with transfer rate of 150-250mb.i recommend web surfing with opera mini and downloading with UC browser. there's even a way to hack it for free browsing but that's another story.
i found an app that is just simply wonderful at the store. it would search and locate any file you want; apks,movies,songs, books, you name it. as long as there is a soft copy on the internet it would locate it and provide you with a link. isn't that wonderful?
Re: Essential Android Apps! by Leopantro: 8:32pm On Aug 03, 2012
sorry,that's 150-250kb not mb. the only time i get transfer rates of mb is with wifi transfer pro. but i do get torrent transfer rates of 130kb on my phone
