    I recently purchased the Samsung a930. All of my prior phones have been from LG. There are a couple things I don't like about the Samsung, but maybe someone can help me figure out what is wrong:

    1. I recorded my own sound and I want to be able to set it as an alert sound. Howewer, when I try to do it, only options are for the preloaded sounds. How can I change this?

    2. With the LG, I was able to add a word to the "dictionary" when using their "T9" Text feature. Can I do the same when using the "Word" Text feature.

    3. Can I set my default text format to he "Word" feature?

    If anyone could help me out with this, it would be great. Thanks

    Re: Samsung a930 help

    If anyone was wondering, i got 2 of the 3 questions answered:

    Q. 1. I recorded my own sound and I want to be able to set it as an alert sound. Howewer, when I try to do it, only options are for the preloaded sounds. How can I change this?

    A. I downloaded and installed bitpim. Even though the a930 phone is not supported in bitpim, I the a950 works. If you haven't seen bitpim, search for it on google and check it out. You'll see what you can do with it.


    Q. 3. Can I set my default text format to he "Word" feature?

    A. Yes. Go into: message: settings: choose all msg or TXT msg: entry mode

    I'm still hoping that my question 2 is possible:

    Q. 2. With the LG, I was able to add a word to the "dictionary" when using their "T9" Text feature. Can I do the same when using the "Word" Text feature.

    Hope this helps anyone else with the same problems.

    Re: Samsung a930 help

    i just checked out bitpim and looks really easy, but usb cables are only on ebay,
    hwo bout if i just got a card reader for my pc would bitpim read a microSD?, or does the internal memory have to overwritten with bitpim?

    cause the cables with cd drivers are really expensive, does it NEED a driver?

    Re: Samsung a930 help

    I have the software and data cable that came with the phone, and it wont let you set it as a ringtone. The options are differant for pre recorded sounds and your recorded sounds... Delt with looking on here forever, and none of the options i have founds work right as of yet, and customer service cant help. I streatched the truth a little but basically, it works for the 950 but not the 930... Only thing i can figure is there is something in the software on the phone that prevents it based on the v cast packages being pushed so hard.

    Re: Samsung a930 help

    what carrier gives out data cables so people can mess around with thier phones instead of making there customers buy $5 ring tones that are 6 seconds long?
    you must be mistaken no data cable comes with the a930

    I purchased the data cable and software for $20 (onsale from $30) from the Verizonwireless store.

    I installed the drivers, then downlaoded bitpim. I select my phone as the a950 and this works for the a930.

    I don't know what else could be wrong for some of you

    So... You can get the data cable from the Verizon Wireless store for $20.00?
    Can you give the name of the store and phone number that I can buy it?
    I need this desperately.
    Normally, in Korea, you can get the software free and sometimes the store give the data cable free when you purchase the unit.

    Good luck with anything Korean (service, products, etc) being carried over to the US. I wish I had the 10 megapixel camera phone that they do, but sadly, it won't work here. You can get the cable online from Verizon or from any corporate store. Some indirect stores probably carry them as well.

    Re: Samsung a930 help

    Unfortunately, I could not purchase the 18 pin data cable in Korea. Eventhough, I went to a Big Samsung Service Center in Seoul, they did not carry USB 18 pin data cable anymore. Moreover, A930 model is not exist in Korea. I guess it is for only other countries. Anyway, I finally bought Vcast Music Essentials Kit for using the data cable included.
    I installed USB driver which was included and install PCLink software again.
    However, my computer recognize the A930, but PCLink not. Now I am stuck.
    Whatelse I can do...

    Re: Samsung a930 help

    Here is the solution for data transfer A930.
    It took me for at least 3 days to figure it out. First of all, I would like to thank you all giving me info. It is simple as 1 2 3. Here we go...

    1. I bought Vcast Music Essentials Kit from Verizon Shopping mall
    2. installed Samsung USB driver from the CD
    3. installed BitPim (Welcome to BitPim)
    4. BANG. It recognized my phone and sync. all the data from my phone.

    SIMPLE enough?
