    1. The MP3 files stored on the SD card and originally used on the Lg840 may have been somehow corrupted
    or
    2. The information provided officially by LG is incorrect.

    Either way I'm glad you were able to find a fix Thanks for sharing the info!

    Ya know, I just thought of something..
    I took that memory card out of the LG840 , and put it into the Ultimate.. I wonder, If I had transfered the files to my Desktop, then had the new phone format the memory card, then transfered the files, would it have then recognized them?

    I mean, The MP3 files were in the same folder as the OOG files.. and yet they were not seen as available as a ring tone. Or is there some software switch I needed to check to use the MP3 files??

    I found the owners manual a bit lacking of critical information.. but since I bought my first android tablet last June, I am someone familiar with their operation, and i used that knowledge to personalize my phone. I even accidentally found the widget page that let me set up a page for direct (speed) dialing. Love this new phone.

    So I converted them over to OOG format and wala. They showed up.

    So I answered my own question. The ring tones have to be in OOG format.
