Samsung SGH-D807 / D806

any way i can download songs n put em as my ringtone besides doing bluetooth

Does anyone know if I would have to get this phone unlocked to use my at&t sim card or can i just pop it in? my plan is too ridiculously good to migrate to cingular so im lookin for a quand band phone on ebay

I just got this phone the other day to replace my broken SE W600i. I've had SE phones forever and am trying to find similar features in my new Samsung. I'd like my phone to alert me (or at least give me the option to) about events I've put into my calender/schedule. I can't seem to find an option on how to do this. Anyone?
Thanks!

I can't for the life of me find where I can set this phone so it rings and vibrates when I get a incoming call.

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting this phone, and everything i read makes it sound like a great phone!! My question is, I'm a typical teenage guy, Im going to drop the phone, im going to have it in my pocket when i do something stupid and fall and land on it, im going to leave it on the table at a party and it will get beer spilled on it. and ALL that other **** that happens to phones when they get taken to college, we all know it happens, and yes of course i will do my best to take care of it, but im just being realalistic. ****'s gonna happen...

How durrable is this phone?! It sorta looks too pretty to survive a dorm or frat house... Know what i mean? let me know what ya'll think of how the phone will hold up

Thanks for any info a...

I have had two phones before this one with blue tooth. One you have to keep bluetooth off until you needed, otherwise your battery would be dead in like an hour. My last phone a Moto V551 I could keep it on all the time. And it wouldn't really affect the battery charge.

How is the D807?

Hey guys, new D807 user here and I just LOVE this phone! Quick q though... How do I keep the LCD/Display from blanking out after some time? I would prefer it stay permanently in a DIM mode (when the slider is closed). Also, once its in the no display mode, I have to open my slider to wake it up instead of pushing the keys. Any ideas on how to change the settings for this?

Ok, I have purchased a 256 mb micro card and loaded a few MP3s into my phone. But when I try to set one as a ring tone it says that it is "not allowed." They are full songs but I didn't think that would make a difference. The guy at the Cingular store didn't know for sure and said that the phone may not have the capabilities to use MP3s as ring tones. Is he right about this phone not being able to do this? Will it work if the MP3 is just a short clip instead of the full song? Please help if you can.

i just signed up with cingular last weekend. i picked up the black v3 razr cuz it was the cheapest phone. now question is i have 30 days to return this phone do you think it is worth my money to get the d807 or just wait for the nokia 6126? there is a chance the nokia will come out after my 30 day return period which means i will be stuck with the razr and will have to pay full retail for the nokia.

secondly i have read numerous complaints about the d807. is it true that the earpiece volume is very low? is it lower the the razrs earpiece? also heard call reception and quality were not so good any more info on that. and also how is the battery life, better than the razrs or worse? and lastly the UI is it sluggish like the razrs? sorry a...

Is there anyway to change or turn down/off the tone that sounds whenever you push a button? Not the numbers, but the menu navigation buttons?

i just bought a bluetooth usb adapter...but when i send files to my phone it sends it to my phone instead of the memory card...can anyone tell me how to send em to the memory card instead...

Does anyone know?

from some light googling, ive read some user reviews that say this phone doesn't work with iSync on a mac.

anyone know if this is true or if a solution has come up to get around this?!

I used to have a Sony Ericsson S710a that had an email client that would check for new emails every 5 minutes. But because of poor reception (my LG C1300 got better reception) I took it back and bought an unlocked Moto V635. But on the Moto, it will only check for new emails every 30 minutes. That's a pain. So much so that I don't use the feature. How often with the Samsung D807 check for new emails? I use Gmail and Yahoo email (the free one), if that matters.

Thanks

I'm considering a D807, but I need it to be able to sync with my calendar and contacts in Outlook.
Has anyone had success with this? Also, I need to be able to sync recurring appointments and hope to do so over bluetooth.
Thanks.

I'm going into my final day(s) of my 30 trial period with my Samsung D807. I love the phone, hoewver there are a few quirks that bother me. First and foremost, I find myself "babying" this phone. To me it seems so fragile and with the black and chrome finish I find myself constantly wiping it clean of dust and fingerprints. I am also condidering a SLVR L7. Anyone's opinion SLVR L7 vs. D807? I prefer by experience I like Samsungs, but the L7 is very eye catching and seems more durable.
Sorry for rambling, anyone's opinion is greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the new message notification once you've set up mobile email?

The mobile email seems like a nice feature, but it will be unusable if it notifies me for each incoming email and I have to press No each time. Couldn't find anything in the menus or manual regarding this.

and is the maximum recording time 30sec?? i mean if u have a good memory stick it should be able to play for as long until the memory runs out? can someone tell me if you can record longer than that? 🤨

I was wondering if there is a possible way to make the video on full screen while the video is playing just like the T809. can somebody please tell me if there is a way or if there is a hack? 🤨

Title says it all really. Can I disable the phone from locking when I slide it down? I know I can make it ask me when it slides, but that's equally annoying.

Another thing is when I charge the phone the screen stays lit up. Is there a way to turn off the screen without turning the phone off entirely?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
