You need to go to file manager, open music, click on the ACC file and set as ringtone. If you do it another way it says unsupported type.

The disk should work, there is only 1 that I am aware of. I can send you mine if you are in the US.

Hi,
I would be very grateful if someone could help me! I got this phone yesterday and when I put the CD into the CD drive it cannot install it , I have Windows XP. Is there another version of this disc for XP? Also where and how can I download music, ringtones etc without having to subscribe to a monthly service through imode??? I know its a lot to ask but I would really appreciate a reply.

Thanks,

Denise

bahamut - find a converter like IMTOO. Convert the files to m4a or aac. go into the music folder, open the file, choose options, and set as ringtone. If you can convert MP3 to m4a files (http://www.m4a.com/) these will not give you any issues...I have a few that are 3900kb and work perfectly as ringtones.

I recently got the brilliant s500i, and I followed instructions posted previously in regards to using mp3 as ringtones, I managed to change the settings to mono, bit rate 96, but the samsung pc studio program wont let me reduce to 8000 hz, from the original 44100 hz. The lowest I can go is 22000 hz, and that's too big. Would anyone know how to work around this ? I also tried other file types, no luck. In advance, thanks to anyone would can come up with an idea...

a few items:
1. no way to minimize the mp3 player. you should have bought a nokia. haha
2. Opera mini is out but I can't seem to figure out how to download via the browser (S500i wont display the download page) and can't bluetooth the install files directly to the java apps folder. Anyone know if this is due to the java version of the phone or if it might be another issue?
3. I am using this with cingular in the US ( the phone was purchased unlocked via ebay) and I can't get my MMS to work despite using the info on cingular site for a variety of samsung phones...how is it that my wap (or edge) browswer works but not my MMS...dont they utilize similar pathways?

thanks
