So I just bought the 3a

I left HTC after the M7, because by the time I upgraded that the current model was the U11 which was too large for me (especially with the widely-spaced buttons very low on the device: I tried it and decided I'd either have to use it two-handed or I'd have RSI within a month). Time was when most of my family used HTC, now the wife's 10 is the only one left.

The Pixel "a" series are apparently the best-sellers Google have produced, which makes sense when you consider how much better value they are than current flagships.

Seems to be the case, which is interesting. And speaks to the lousy job Google has done really making their "flagships" stand out. Is the Pixel 4 better than the 4a? Probably, but 400/500 dollars better? Probably not.
 
I have run into an issue. I thought I had purchased ringtones on the google play store app at some point in the distant past. Not a ringtone app, but individual ringtones. After much searching, I cannot find them. Does anyone know if google dropped support for the ringtones I purchased?

like an individual ringtone? and just to be sure it was not from an app that has a collection of ringtones, correct? never heard of the play store selling individual ringtones before.

you can always go into the the play store and look at your past purchases to find it.
 
That is correct. Not an app. Individual tones. Unfortunately, I may be confused and imagining the whole thing though. I know I did purchase individual tones on my previous phone, an iPhone, and could re download them at any time. But I could have sworn I could do that with my previous Android phones as well. I have looked and don't see them anywhere on the play store but will look again. Maybe this pre dates the play store. I thought there was a previous version of the play store or am I imagining that too?

i believe it was called the android market. here is a bit of history behind it:https://www.androidauthority.com/android-market-google-play-different-787082/

and i don't recall being able to buy individual ringtones from the play store or from the marketplace.

I remember the option to buy individual ringtones. I know you could get them through Verizon, not the 'Market', or at least I don't think so. They were 99¢ each.

Wait. It was an app but they billed Verizon - or something similar?

Verizon def had a service, still does. My mother still uses them, different ones for different holidays and such. Called verizon tones or something like that??
 
Zedge looks ok but the in app purchases and ads are a turn off. Can one still create and use their own ringtones?
