Lg scoop i just bought the new lg scoop from alltel but it won't let me put my ringtones off of my sd memory card onto the phone. if the card is in the phone, i can play the music all i want, but I can't set them as ringtones. Any suggestions or solutions? i just put songs on my new lg scoop and i want to use them as ringtones but i have tried everything and i cant get it. if my memory card is in i can listen to the songs all i want but i cant set it as a ringtone

This is Jon from THE CELL PHONE GUY in Sioux Falls SD, this issue is a formatting issue for your sd card its usually not a problem when you go from a LG to another LG but i can see it happening. The best way to do it without loosing all your data is to sync your Scoop up with your PC and transfer all your data to your computer off the SD card. and Then do the Vise Versa with your Envy 3 sync it to your PC and transfer from the computer to your phone. Make sure that after you put all the data from the scoop to your pc that you put the sd card in the envy and make sure you go into the memory settings and format the card to the envy. This will delete all the data on the card but luckily you should have already put all that on your computer. after the card has been formated then connect the computer to the envy and transfer the data back. This should be the best way to do it without loosing any of your data.

What format are the songs you have on your memory card? What format does your phone support for Ringtones??? Likelihood is the phone doesnt support ringtones in the audio format your trying to set, thus when your going for them it wont see any available ringtones

You need to format that card, then copy them onto it. If still the problem persists the card you may have might not work for your phone.

Same thing here. I put the card into the phone and then hooked phone up to the computer and it recognized it. If you're downloading songs for use as a walkman, the default setting for the card will work. I got the card to make my own ringtones and had to set it to 'mass storage' in order to drag my tones in. I found the program for downloading songs directly to the phone too confusing for me.

Simple solution, Alltel belives and enforces digital copyright management, while you can listen to your favorite tones and music, you will NOT be able to use them as ringtones, or use them with any of the features of the phone other then playing the tunes for entertainment. The only way to use files as ringtones is to purchase the files from alltel, or use their realtone jukebox, etc.

Sorry about the news , but welcome to ALLTEL!

ringtones save to the phone memory, not the micro SD

There actually IS a way to use your own MP3s as ringtones. You will need Web Access from Alltel, which costs $1.99 per day or $5.99 for a month. I put up a step-by-step guide to successfully using MP3s as ringtones on my blog: http://blog.edirectories.info/2008/09/add-mp3-ringtones-scoop-ax260/

Well as far as I know you have to connect the memory card into the adapter and connect the adapter to a card reader(a kind of a box like thing which only that can read the memory cards). This card reader you have to connect to the computer and just copy and paste the song and then reconnect
Any probs just let me know!?

I ******* hate the alltel scoop i just got one and i used to get my other ringtones from phonezoo.com but now the **** doesnt work on it...what a peice of ****.
:)
sorry that i couldnt help!

have the newest version of bitpim
make sure you have the drivers for the USB cable you are using.
open bitpim
let it find the phone(it will come up as other CDMA phone)
click FILESYSTEM on the left at the bottom
expand the folder
click dload
right click on lg_mysound.dat and save it to your desktop
after you save it right click lg_mysound.dat in bitpim and delete it
now click brew
click media
click lk
click ms

now drop the songs you want to use as ringers in this file. they will automaticlly load into your phone. it isnt the fastest process but it works. 

after they are done loading onto the phone, unhook USB cable from computer, power the phone off and then back on.

the items you just transferred with now be in the my audio file where they need to be to assign them for individual ringers.

NOTE:

everytime you wnat to add new ringers to the phone you have to complete all the steps above, even the deleting that one certain file. not a very hard process and has worked well for me. 

good luck and happy mp3 loading songs into the phone as ringers.
