Samsung SCH-A670
Cannot Download Ringtones
I admit to being fairly new at this, but so far I have had NO luck getting my own ringtones to my Samsung sch-a670.
I've tried storing them on my on WAP server, I get the 406 Not acceptable error. I've tried eringers.com, tried going directly to the site to download a tone, get the same error. I've also followed the excellent step-by-step instructions on the eringers site, saved the tone to my PC desktop, but when I try to attach the midi file to a pix message at Verizon's PIX Place site, I get an error saying the file is not in an appropriate format.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hey folks. Looks like I solved my own problem, but I thought this info might be useful to others. Below is an email I got from Verizon. Basically, any sounds you want to send to the SCH-a670 from the Verizon PIX Place website need to be in WAV format, no bigger than 103K. Personally, I find this much more useful than MIDI files anyway.

This normally works, but in some parts of the country PIX PLACE doesn't allow the sending of MIDIs anymore. It's been since they've updated their sites....
This is how I was uploading ringtones to my phone and had done it successfully a hundred times; however, now I can't send them. I've alerted VZW to the problem and they say that they're working on it...
In the meantime, I've been using funformobile.com

After some more experimentation I've found using WAVs isn't so hot after all. They have to be crunched down so far to get under 102K (6000 sample rate, mono, 8 bit) that the loss of fidelity is substantial.
And no matter how much EQing and hiss removal I do to my WAVs they always sound too loud and distorted once they play through the phone. If anybody has suggestions on that aspect, I'd love to hear them.
In the meantime, what's this funformobile.com you speak of?? : )

www.funformobile.com is an alternate site to upload ringtones to your phone if the vzwpix.com website is unaccessible to you. There are some who can still upload tones to their phones through vzwpix.com, but others will get an error message.
