Mar 6th 2007 4:53PM MP3's as RINGTONES
CAUTION: I take no responsibility if this doesn't work as well for you as it did for me!!
Having said that, it worked brilliantly for me
First you should record a sound in "my sounds", just to confirm the directory is correct.
Obviously you need a cable. I used a susteen one (samsung cable 3, though it's not listed as being compatible with the u520, that's just because their software doesn't support it yet) and drivers for it (mine came with the susteen kit I bought a while back).
You need bitpim. Set it for 'other phone', set your com port to whatever your driver created and turn on the file system
In the file system you'll see a "brew" folder, then "mod" folder, then "18067" folder
In that 18067 folder, there should be whatever file you recorded earlier, plus an "Msinfo.db" file.
Copy your MP3 ringtone into this folder *NOTE* - My mp3's were renamed as .mid files a while back when I had an audiovox cdm8910 that required this; I don't know if you NEED to rename them or not, but mine already were. I don't think you do, though.
Once the file is copied, reboot the phone. This MUST be done before the next step, because the phone checks for new files and creates entries in the Msinfo.db file then.
Now, save the Msinfo.db file and open it with *WORDPAD* - that's important. Notepad won't read CR's as end of line (it expects CR/LF, so all you'll see is a funky box) - and other programs may add their own characters.
You'll see each of your files listed as such:
/ff/brew/mod/file|0|5
/ff/brew/mod/file.mp3|0|0
The last character is the key: the '5' somehow tells the phone that it is valid as a 'my sounds' file, where the '0' does not. So, change it. Change *ONLY* that character, and only change it to a '5'; I don't know what changing other characters will do...
anyway, overwrite that file on the phone with the edited version, then the file should appear in "My Sounds", where you can set it as a ringtone

Feb 23rd 2007 5:19PM I forgot....you can get someone from another network (preferably cingular) who has mp3 ringtones and ask them to text message the song you want. It will be saved in My Sounds, and you can set it as a ringtone.

Feb 17th 2007 12:46AM Wow...im 16 and I can solve just about every problem in here. Alltel disabled bluetooth connections from phone to phone so people wont send ringtones. That is why it says (unsupported service). The guy at alltel said only the RAZR can bluetooth with other phones but they both have to be RAZRS. Go and buy a sandisk mircoSD transflash card less than 1 gb and buy the sandisk card reader. I got a 256mb card and I got like 70 songs that all play with no problem. The phone obviously does not support 2gb cards.
IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO PUT MUSIC ON UR PHONE....READ THIS............................
DOWNLOAD A SONG YOU WANT OR PICK ONE YOU ALREADY GOT.....THEN YOU SHOULD PLUG UP YOUR USB AND PUT THE CARD IN IT.......THEN GO TO MY COMPUTER AND copy THE MP3'S YOU WANT TO THE CARD. (COPY THE FILES TO My Music)........this should solve half of ur problems......We all made the mistake of buying the phone early when it had all it glitches...
