Samsung S500i Mobile Phone Review

Samsung S500i Details

<unknown> i have mp3s on discs so do not have to pay to download them only way i found how to do it is with nero wave editor had to change it to a mp4 and do it through the video and it works but have to be under 300 or so many seconds to fit the file on your phone your phone will not allow it if you want to pay i tunes for 20 secs of music they have a way of doing it think they are in with samsung to make money out of us

Princess Helen Hiya guys I was just wondering if anyone can help me. I dont think you can cos Ive tried everything but can you have your Mp3 or music files as message tones or do you just have to have the ones onthe phone. Can people please email me back. Thank you sooo much Helen xxx

<unknown> Does anyone know if the headphones with this phone (for listening to music) are the same as the d500 ones? If not, where can i get the ones for this from? Thanks

nay is it just me or does this phone have just 1 ringtone and 1 msg tone?!cause it says here it should have 20!

matty boy for god's sake!! why don't anyone ever talk about this phone, all they ever talk about MP3 problem for this phone, get a MP3 player and get on with your like, for a gmae, get a game console, for a phone, get a phone, it simple as that!!!

<unknown> Its sad nobody wants to talk about the phone but instead just keep asking how do i get mp3 ringtones. Anyway Use DBpoweramp(http://www.dbpoweramp.com/) to convert mp3 to aac. Worked fine for me.

matty boy i have the cure for this phone battery, get a backpack, put car battery in ur backpack, get a wire, like the battery to S500i, long battery life, one back fire tho, OVERHEATING, lol

Big Trev Hello people,

I really need your help on this one – its been bugging me for a while now!

I was playing on my phone the other day and I opened up the music player (I have the ‘up’ arrow set as a shortcut for this). I didn’t mean to open it and so carried on pressing other buttons before it started playing the track.
Somehow I managed to minimise the player and was able to carry on typing a message as normal with the track playing in the background. I’ve tried a million and one combinations since to minimise the player, but every time I try, it just closes it completely.

Does anyone how to minimise the player, so you can use your phone for other things whilst still listening to music?

Many thanks in advance!!!

Charlotte Finally worked out the phone, mp3 and everything. Once you know what your doing the phone is very good. I couldn't receive picture messages at first but then after a few weeks they worked. Regarding the Mp3 ringtones etc. I changed them to AAC format with iTunes and downloaded them to my phone and they worked fine as ringtunes, only problem I have is I cant get the USB connection and CD to work properly, it wont find the phone so brough a bluetooth USB thing and that works fine. I also thought it only had 1 ringtone but it doesnt you have to press the middle button when over the set ringtune and it will bring up all the rest. Hope that helps. Charlotte
