Just picked up the new Samsung M520 (Sprint). Does ANYONE have any info on anything about this phone?
Particularly about any firmware, flashing, tricks or hacks?
There's no way to add your own ring tones & I cant seem to get this dang application software/USB cable to work properly.
ANY help/advice at all?

same problem here man. sprint has to make that $$$ somehow. here you go fella, you can ONLY buy content from our store that will eventually expire so you have to buy another one. here buy all these HOTTTT ringtones that you see on mtv and hear on the radio. im not being fed garbage from viacom. i want some damn real music. some hate. when i get a call i don't want to hear justin timberlakes punk ass. i want to hear what the F i want to hear. shredding guitars and face melting screams i feel like going back to sprint and dropping some fudge dragons all over the place so they can know how it feels being S$%^ on

I am also looking for a way to add a ring tone you download via the net. I can blue tooth the file from my iMac to the phone - and play it on the phone - but can't set it as a ringtone.
I did figure out how to bluetooth a .jpg to the phone to get my own custom screen.

i was able to get mp3 ringtones on my phone by using the phone uploader tool on Rumkin dot com.
Hopefully this will help.

- A PC or Mac | Converting, editing, and transfering.
- Xilisoft Video Converter | Converter. Doesn't need to be the full version, but it's nice. *cough* Excuse me.
- Audacity or Audio Editing Software | Optional for editing your audio file or converting it.
- USB Data Cable, Memory Card with Reader, or Bluetooth PC Connection | You'll obviously need one of these to transfer the ringtone itself. I'll be using the memory card with reader in this tutorial.
1. The first thing we need to do is install the Xilisoft Video Converter software. Yeah, I know it's called video converting software, but bear with me. Open it and click the "add" button. Locate your .mp3 or .midi or whatever audio or video file you want. It should then appear on the list
2. On the right side of the program, you should notice the output property list (it begins with General). You'll need to change a few of these properties, mentioned below, in order for this to work. If you're lazy, you can download my profile (click me - 3g2 ringtones)
If the property is not mentioned, leave it default.
General:
Duration: This is the length of your tone. Make it in the format HH:MM:SS. For example, if I wanted my ringtone to be 27 seconds, I would put 00:00:27
Start Time: This is the place where your song would start playing. I usually put mine a few seconds before I want it to, because of the way the phone handles the ringtone. Once again in the format HH:MM:SS
File Name: The output file name. It's incredibly important that it has NO SPACES. If the file name has spaces, it cannot be assigned whatsoever.
Video: (if you're handling an audio file skip to Audio)
Video Size: The width needs to be smaller than 176, and the height smaller than 220. I like my videos to be 128x96
Bit Rate: Lower if the output video is larger than 512kb
Frame Rate: Must be 15
Audio:
Bit Rate: The bit rate (in kb/s). The highest should be about 128. 48 or 64 both sound fine though.
Sample Rate: The highest should be about 44100. 16000 is decent.
3. Change the profile at the bottom of your program window to 3GPP2 - 3rd Generation Partnership Project (*.3g2). Change the "Destination" textbox to the place where you want your ringtone to save to. If you wish to save the property settings and destination, you can click on "Save As." to save the profile. Now press the "encode" button. Once it finishes, goto your destination and find the file you just converted. Make sure your file is under 512kb. If it is not, lower the duration, bit rate, or sample rate. You're almost finished.
4. Now you'll need to transfer the converted file onto your phone memory using one of the three ways mentioned in the beginning. It MUST be in the following folder: \DCIM\100SSMED\. Look familiar? It's the same place where you store all of your pictures and videos.
5. Go into the menu of your phone. Go to Settings > Sounds > Ringer Type > Voice Calls > either ID or no ID > My Videos > then either In Phone or Memory Card (wherever your ringtone is). You should see all of your videos. Scroll down until you come across a white box with a red "X". That's your ringtone. Select it then press Assign. It should save to your phone's internal memory, then it should be successfully assigned as a video tone. That's right, we're actually tricking the phone into thinking it's a video, when there could actually be no video at all! If you get an error that says something like "unable to assign" or something along that line, your file name probably has a space in it.
CONGRATULATIONS!
You just made your first custom ringtone on your phone! Pat yourself on the back! You can do this as many times as you want.
