How to change Ring Tones
A simple task like changing a ringtone on a phone can be hard to find on the phone's menu.
Here are the steps to change them with some other bundled or with the ones you download or even
with a full MP3 song.
Go to Home menu
* User Profile
Here select the one you use and then choose Customize
* Tone Setup
* Incoming call
Here you can pick one (from 1 to 15 are predefined on the phone) or add one in the 16 to 20 slots.
If you choose to add one click the slot desired (16 to 20) and then click OK.
* Replace
Here it shows the memory card
Go to 'My music' folder or wherever you have the sounds you like
Choose the ringtone or MP3 you like and then click OK
Now you have the sound you want for the ringtone.
Many people asked and as far as I know there is no way to add more than five custom songs or
ringtones because the only slots left are the 26 to 30 and the 1 to 25 doesn't presently permit to change them.
We'll have to wait for a way to update the firmware for that to happen.
How to add music, videos, and wallpaper to your phone:
The first step is to connect your phone to a computer using the USB cable provided. Once you connect it, click the “Mass storage” icon on your phone. Once it has loaded on your computer, open up removable drive folder that will be in “My Computer”. From here, you have access to all the different folders to upload whatever you like to your phone – simply “drag and drop” whatever you want.
To upload pictures: add pictures to the “Photos” folder
To upload videos: add videos to the “Videos” folder
To upload music: add music to the “My Music” folder
***After uploading music, you must access the Audio player and go through the following steps: 'Audio Player'
'LIST'
'Option'
'Settings'
'Player Settings'
'List Auto Gen' ---> Change to 'OFF'
To upload e-books: add e-books to the “E-book” folder
How to Change the wallpaper on the phone:
The wallpaper is the background displayed on your phone. To change it, we need to first access the main menu, and then click down to the 2nd icon in the left column (“Settings”).
From here, go to “Phone setup” and then select option 5 “Display characteristics” and choose option 1 (“Wallpaper”)
You’ve got two options now; you can either choose one of the system wallpapers with the option 1 or select the option 2 (“User Define”) and enter the memory card.
In the folder “Images”, there are some pre-charged images that come with the phone. You can also upload your own pictures to this folder to have your own customized background. The most desirable picture size is 240x320.
How to Organize Play list in Audio Player on Phone
When you try to play MP3 files on the Media Player of this phone something odd happens.
If you put a folder inside the "my music" folder (in some models is just "music") it's not showed on the list and the "Auto gen" doesn't recognize it. The only songs added to the list were the ones in the folder 'my music' (or 'music'). It's not reading sub-folders.
There is a 'trick' or more accurate, a hidden option.
If you deactivate the "List Auto Gen' option
'Audio Player'
'LIST'
'Option'
'Settings'
'List Auto Gen' ---> Change to 'OFF'
Ok
Now when you go to 'Audio Player' - 'List' - 'Option'
there's a new menu and the option 4 (Add) appears and let you select a folder to add to the play list.
We just need to copy folders of MP3 to the memory card on the phone and add them to the play list as told.
We can have some order now in our MP3 collection inside the phone.
