Samsung SCH-U740 Alias

I just got this phone and I;m having trouble trying to figure out how to do the ringtone trick. I used mp3 cutter to cut a segment of the song, and then renamed the file extension to MID format in My_Sounds, but nothing will show up on the phone. What gives? Is it suppose to be in another format?

I also tried to send a file from My sounds (a default sound) and I tried to save it under my ringtones but it wouldnt let me save it anywhere. I am confused about the whole ringtone situation. Is the only way to get a ringtone to pay? Because I was able to do the trick on my old motorola but not luck with this yet

I am wondering if anyone has linked their phone to BITPIM. I cannot find the u740 on the list of phones. Is there a close match that will work?

i was playing around with this phone earlier today at my verizon store, and i noticed a side button on the phone that said "hold". what purpose does this button serve?

I was at the Verizon store the other day, and I asked one of the associates about using my own .mp3s as ringtones. Since Verizion has a strict policy about copyright laws, he mentioned that I go to phonescoop to get my answers. He also mentioned that there was a program that will allow me to use the USB cable that came with the music essentials kit, and that could cut the song I wanted in anyway as a ring tone, but he couldn't tell me what it was either. I currently use Audacity to cut the song the way I wanted and used a friends LG VX9400 to send the file to myself. Does anyone know that program he spoke of? Please let me know.

which phone do you think i should get the lg enV or the samsung 740?

Is there a way to close the phone while using an earpiece without being disconnected?

Thanks!

Does anyone know how to put plain black wallpaper on the outside screen ? I would like to loose the "white frame".

ok im wondering if there is any way to view the pictures full on the screen after you saved them? everytime i save them, i go back and its a smnall version and wont view in full screen. thanks!!

Please help ... I live and die by my calendar. It's the only thing that keeps me on track at work and at home. The problem ... with this phone I could have something scheduled two weeks out, and the calendar icon stays lit on my main display. With every other phone I've had, once all tasks were completed, the calendar icon would go out. I've set the reminder to "on time" and even to "off" but that doesn't remedy the problem. Does anyone know of any settings to use so that damned icon disappears when all of the day's tasks are omitted / not scheduled? [short of not using the calendar at all]. Thanks!

Is this possible? With my old LG phones I was able to add words by typing it in ABC mode then changing to T9 and pressing 0 at the end of the word to save it. I do that now and it does not work.

Advise anyone?

can you make the flash go on when someone is calling? Thanx-JDUB

This phone is pretty cool, but it has one major problem for me.

I hate that the external LCD automatically goes off no matter what. This means that if I'm away from my phone, I can't just glance at the external LCD when I come back to see if I missed a call. Instead I have to hold the little external button to check if I missed a call.

Also, I can't just glance at it to see the time. It's like having to press a button on your watch every time you look at it!

Does anyone know if there's any way around this? Some kind of software update, hack, etc., that will make the external LCD stay on?

I can't figure out how to get the front screen to turn on when i push a button while the phone is closed. in order for the front screen to turn on i have to open the phone. Does anyone know how to get that to work? I mainly use it so i can see the time and stuff.

Thanx-JDUB

is there anyway to make the screen not reset when you flip it?

I currently have the lg 8100 and think that it is one of the best phones out there, but I am currently looking for a smaller/slimmer phone. I tried the razor and hated it, I have heard pretty bad things about the lg8600 (for texting purposes) , but this phone may be just what I am looking for. Can anyone tell me if you can read texts and put your own pictures on the front screen of this phone? Another thing I am really hoping for in a phone is the ability to change the font size 😳 when sending and receiving texts, does anyone know of any phone that allows this? Thanks for any help!

i was wondering... is there a limit on how much memory u can put into the phone by using a micro SD???

Does anyone else have poor bluetooth reception? I'm on my second phone thinking it was the phone. I have two Motorola earpieces (H500 & H700) and unless I hold the phone up to like my shoulder, I hear crackling and static when the person I'm talking to is speaking. This weekend I went out and bought a Samsung earpiece. At first it seemed totally clean, but I'm noticing it too isn't crisp and clear like the bluetooth was with my Razr.

If you have the phone opened normal, and then flip it to the horizontal mode very quickly without letting the screen touch the keypad the screen is turned the other way. You will have it opened in "Landscape mode" but the screen is as if it was in the normal mode. This also works vice versa.
