Thanks to the replies regarding my problem with setting new ring tone. You are right I had a number saved under family and did not know to scroll down and save the ring tone in this setting as well. Thought I was going mad, but all seems ok now. Thanks again.

In answer to setting ring tones, I too had this problem until I figured out why. I'd set a ringtone, but when this certain person phoned it wasn't the ringtone I assigned then I realised that I had that person set in the "Groups" in the contact list, I deleted that person from the Groups and when they rung again it worked. Try it and see! Also I had a similar problem I've noticed with other people where the sound recorder and the sound on the video doesn't work, reset the phone, take out the battery, put back in and it should work.

My daughter has had this phone 3 months. Still having problems with it freezing on occasion or refusing to switch on.
The major problem though was with battery life. The manual specifies at least 220 hours on standby, yet we found that it was more like 20 hours on standby. If you made a call or played a video, then you are in real trouble. This is clearly unacceptable.
I noted a comment on this site suggesting turning off GPRS. I tried this with no improvement. However I did find something which dramatically improves battery life and I think this may be the answer to this problem.
Turn off IrDA except when you are actually using it. This is the Infra Red interface.
(Settings - Connectivity - IrDA - OFF)
Try it and let me know if it works for you!

I got this phone last week. Its my second handset as the first one had a mind of its own, turning itself on and off, freezing, but this one, touch wood, is great. To set a different ring tone, go to ringtones, calls then choose your tone from the ones listed, it should work. Also I've turned off my GPRS, which is settings, network and untick the GPRS box.

Just bought this phone for my daughter. I can't change the ring tone, despite choosing a different one and selecting "set as ring tone". Does anyone have any ideas? Its driving me mad!

yeah i found that as well, it can scratch quite easily on the back, I'm thinking of getting a cover for it to stop it but don't want to cover up the nice design! hehe

I got this phone for christmas (the pink poppy one) and am very happy with it! (touch wood!) The battery life is good, which I was surprised about after reading posts on here before I got the phone, and the camera quality is excellent. The design of the phone looks great and the phone is v. easy to use. My only problem is that the phone scratches very easily on the back, but other than that it's a great phone!

i had this phone for 3 months and it broke. it kept freezing and then the screen shifted down so i couldn't see the bottom quarter of it, hiding the menu bar. then i took it back, and after 2 weeks they gave it back, that night... it broke AGAIN! then they gave me a new one, exactly the same and the next morning it broke!!!! all i did was set a photo to wallpaper and the other time i just shut the lid and pu it down. has this happened to anyone else apart form me and this other person who i've heard of??!?!? is this normal to happen to two of these phones. it must be a manufacturing problem. sort it out seimens!

I would like to share with everyone else how to get longer time to record videos. Its reset setting is for 10 seconds. what you do is change the length of time you firstly record a video then to the left you should see options then you click it and scroll to the bottom of the list and then clck the right arrow and it should the say maximum you now can record videos for about 50 secounds better than 10.

I bought a Pay as you go Siemens CL75, but needed to put another O2 sim card in it as i didn´t want to change my number. My old Sim card would only play one ringtone, I contacted o2 and they changed my number over to the new Sim. Problem was solved for 1 week, but now it has reverted back to playing the original rintone. Very Frustrating. The sim card that came with the phone played any ringtone, so did my husbands o2 Sim. Really odd! Any sugestions please

The phone is alright, ive had better though. Can someone please tell me how to put it on silent? I do agree that the battery isnt the best. I bought my boyfriend another siemens phone at the same time and his battery is no good either!

Received this phone as a gift for Christmas, and I do not like it all. If I miss (one) call the dispaly reads (23 Missed calls and this happens every time a call is missed. Battery life is no good and my pictures freeze and I cannot open them. I find the phone hard to open up quickly and slow to react. I am sure this phone mainly appeals to kids and teenagers because of it's babyish design, but I would spend the money on something else. I am returning my phone to the place of purchase for a refund.

I've had this phone for a couple of months now and can't say I'm really happy with it. Like others, I've had two usb cables and downloaded the latest driver from benq. but still the phone is not recognised as being connected. Any clues? Too many little problems - but hey, it looks good!
