I recently got a Samsung sch-u540 phone and have been trying to take advantage of its many features.
My first question has to do with ringtones. Instead of paying the $3-$5 each for them (and to get some of songs I can't find) I thought it would be a good idea to make my own. I've tried a few of the free ringtone programs available online without success thus far. I've been able to create new ringtones, but when I try to send them to my phone via text message or look up the URL that is provided to download it, all that happens is I hear the tune but it doesn't end up in my ringtones folder.
I also tried saving it to the computer and loading it on the microSD card that goes into the phone (I don't have the USB cable), but I can't access the file from the sounds/ringtones menu on the phone. If anyone knows how to make this plan work, I'd really appreciate it!
Question #2 is about the video format. I've tried loading a few videos from the computer (using the microSD again) but keep getting the message 'cannot play video'. I've tried .WMV, .MPG, .AVI, and even downloaded a .3GP converter. None of these would play. Does anyone know what file format the videos need to be so that the phone will play them?
I also downloaded the detailed phone manual from the Samsung website. It did not contain the info that I needed.

Thanks in advance!
