Samsung SCH-A930

My friend has a A950 Music Essentials pack and I was wondering if it would work in my a930 the drivers and the usb cord?

Or is there a way to enable MP3 playback ability with ringtones?

Does Bitpim even support WMAs?

And.. a cable comes with the SCH-A930, correct?

And one last question: My Macbook Pro has Bluetooth reading capabilities (I believe..) so I can communicate wirelessly with Bitpim somehow and not have to even worry about a cable?

Hi guys. I'm seriously considering this model for my next phone. I want to get a Bluetooth headset to use with it, but I know some cell phones and BT devices don't always "play well together". If I get one, I want to be able to use ALL the features (like being able to initialize a call using the voice commands).
Has anyone found one that works well and allows you to use it the way you're supposed to be able to? If so, what make/model? Thanks!

Is there an easier way to lock the phone rather than going into tools>phone settings>security>lock code>lock mode>etc.>etc. Thanks.

Need some help with USB connection to a PC. When I hook up the cord it will not connect the phone and the PC. I can put the card in a card reader and it works fine. I returned the cord to Verizon after talking with tech support, but the new one didn't work either. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, I tried Protege's mp3 hack. Now since I'm blind, I picked this phone because I could feel the buttons fairly well, and it has a bunch of voice output features for the menus and dialing. I had sighted assistance for putting in the mp3 hack, but you have to do this each time you want to play mp3s, and you can't use the media buttons on the front. Therefore, I can't do this each time, because the menus don't speak when putting in the secret codes, and then if I got it to work, I could only use the menu keys to play mp3s. I understand that the front media keys will play wma files, but I can't find a way to convert a batch of mp3s to the wma format from the right click context menu. Can anyone recommend a converter that I can right click w...

Anyone know how to get a USB driver to use PC link or Bitpim

i use win amp to to add the tag, and then i change it from mp3 to .mid by simply changing the file name. Ringtones work fine, but it wont let me send any sound in a text message, i always get "unsupported attachment"

can any one help me?

thanks in advanced 🙂

I am getting a wireless phone and have been comparing these two phones. I have done quite a bit of research and feature wise, they seem nearly identical.

So I am wondering, those of you that may have done the same comparison, why did you choose the Samsung?

Features that are important to me in order are.

Primary.
1. Usability/performance as a phone. Bat life.

2. Reception/build quality.

2. Calendar/alarm/appointments. Basic PDA "like" stuff.

Secondary
3. MP3 player usability/sound quality. I am very technically proficient in this area.

4. Speaker phone.

I like the idea of an internal antennae. I would like to use blue tooth stereo headphones when I ski. I would like to be able to update the phonebook/ calendar from ...

It seems when my inbox/sent messages reach about 100, it tells me the memory is full and I have to erase some/all. A friend has the Razr and she has hundreds of messages kept and the phone never asks her to delete anything.

Is there a way to increase the kept messages capacity?

My friend has the usb chord for me..do I absolutely HAVE to buy a memory card to get music on the phone? and what else will I need?..i dont want to buy the essentials kit..

I'm sure there is a really easy solution for this, but the camera is upside down and the manual sayes ntohing about it...wtf?

Im just wondering if you can record songs off of your phone like off the radio or computer and set them as people's specific ringers? plz thanks

I read your review on this phone
I have a question about the music player + playback keys

dave73 said:
Cons: The mp3 player can only be accessed from a hidden menu, and then, the phone must stay open at all times, or the mp3 player shuts off. The front buttons only work for wma file, which I dislike.

If you can't close the phone and use the music player, why did they include external music keys? Did I miss something? You said that the buttons only work for WMA, and does this mean if you are playing a WMA file, you can close the phone and keep the music player on?

Thanks!

Just in case you're trying to figure out how to add words in T9 format, here's what you u should do:

When typing a message in T9 if you come across a word that isn't in the dictionary, switch to ABC mode, type the word you want to add, then switch back to T9 mode. The phone will automatically add the new word.

For right now, there is no way to delete words once they have been added.

I live in Bristol CT. And I have had the vx6100 and got ok service and then the vx9800 and it was worse. I'm am thinking about this phone. My sister has a Razr also on Verizon and has never had a problem with reception. Does anyone know if this phone gets god reception in the Bristol-Southing-Waterbury-West Hartford Area?

So we (friend and I) got into this internal menu on this phone and there is an option for mp3... When you select it, it says: "No mp3 directory found on memory card"...Will this be resolved by re-formatting and creating a folder????


I will be testing to see if this will enable mp3's on this phone when I get home...

I am using BitPim to create my own ring tones. After I send phone data or get phone data. I am not able to delete ring tones I created. The replace all circle in BitPim is not high lighted.
How do I get rid of my created ring tones?

Currently own a Samsung A670 and LOVE IT. The only 2 things wrong with it is 1. No Speakerphone and 2. Front Display is hard to read. My upgrade date is next week and I'm looking hard at the A930. I dig the exterrnal display. Cool I've looked through the reviews and forum and have had most questions answered ... Does the front display show when a call was missed or a message or voicemail is waiting? I couldn't find anything in the manual either about what is displayed on the front display. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks ... Cheers!

Hello, as a blind user of this phone, I will never use its camera, nor will I use the GPS portion. Do you have suggestions as to which features I could have turned off to conserve battery life? I can have a sighted person go through the menus and turn off features, and then they'll stay that way until changed.
Thanks a lot.
