  What about an mp3 player? Does the samsung r410 have an mp3 player and/or an sd slot for expandable memory?

• Simone

  Ok..I read about this phone on other websitess.And they said watever tones u download..YOu cant use them as ur ringtonee.Is that true?

• Nems555

  I have this phone and it seems impossible to download free ringtones. This phone uses midi files for ringtones and everytime I tried to download I always get the message ” unsupported content type ” or something like that. Hopefully I can find a way soon because I am not paying 3 dollars per ringtone.

• geovanni

• kitty of da bay

• new to r410

  I love the phone…
  I hate the ringtone problem…. it’s a samsung issue though not just the r410 itself.
  I am 90% satisfied

• Tanja

  thank you Arcadio Morales Jr. for the website. finally something that works and its a small fee but at least you can download unlimited for the 3.50….

• tanyamaria

  i loooove my fone..i think it is the hottest fone on the market for metro right now its just that damn ringtone problem though but ill pay the $3 for unlimited ringtones

• Donlit_98

  I’m able to download ringtones to my computer then bluetooth them to my phone!!!!! Now. I’m lovin this phone!!!

• hazel

  how do u dowload them to your computer and then to bluetooth??? what do u use???

• Shana

  I am so confused. My phone (samsungr410) says it can download pics and tones when u read the instruction book it comes with but then wen u try to do it it doesnt work!!! Sheeesh!

• misz mere

  does this phone have a memory card slot?

• shana

  ok

  1) I DONT HAVE THE BLUETOOTH THINGY SO I CANT USE IT.

  2) WHEN I TRY TO USE IT IT DOESNT WORK.

  3) I HAD TO BUY RINGTONES BCUZ THIS FUCKING PHONE WONT DOWNLOAD THEM…..UGGHHHH

• byrd

  I FOUND A SHORTCUT TO THE RINGTONES SITUATION FINALLY!!!!!

  YOU NEED TO HAVE A FRIEND OR SOMEONE WITH A RAZOR PHONE.

  I don’t know exactly how it works but it only works with a razor and a sliver possibly. Have the razor phone send the ringtone in a textmessage to your samsung r410. once you receive it go to options and save it under “my sounds” . after that you can go to your phone book and set the ringtone for whomever you want it to be for.The key is sometype of format that the razor automatically downloads the ringtone in that allows the samsung r410 to use and save it as a ringtone also. I just did it on my fone and it worked! I’m so happy now i just need more tones! let me know how it works for you!

• MAD BOUT SUMSUNG

  WHY IS THIS THE HIGHEST PHONE ON METROPCS AND IT CANNOT BE DOWNLOADED WITH ANYTHING….THATS NOT FAIR THAT LOWER PAYERS GET DOWNLOADS

• Raidium

  Metro sux, get a real carrier, then maybe you guys wouldn’t have so many problems. I worked with Metro before and it was nothing but a headache, so many customers coming back with problems. Seriously, you would be better off dropping it. I’m just sayin…

• MsTexas

  I am curious about this phone because I purchased 2 of them and the memory is acting up on both phones. One of the phones will not take pics at all and the screen shows nothing but white and says memory is full. Everything is off that phone that would take up memory and it still says the same out of memory things.

• whittnee

  ugh i hate this phone. i had a razor which i liked much better but after i broke it i was like oh ill get the new phone blah blah blah BIG mistake.it sucks. i cant download ringtones….unless i pay for them.weak!

• coolman

  metro pcs should start getting phone slike the iphone the samsung instinct or something like that cause all the phones are lame .

• diana

  wow i was thinking of getting this phone because thats the only phone i know that metro pcs have that has the qwerty keyboard and a camera, I dont care for mp3 or ringtones since i dont use it anyway but i care about bluetooth. Seems like the reviews for this phone is not good so I guess I need to look for something else.

• diana

  i used to be able to download ringtones for free on my other phones, with my lg verizon chocolate im not able too, i gotta pay for them but oh well, im tired of paying 140 a month so thats why i want to go with metro pcs for 45 a month, i know the service sucks yeah yeah yeah but im tired of payin so much money, if the call drops oh well just call back lol

• hope

  I just got this phone 3 weeks ago and i keep trying to download songs and have friends bluetooth me songs and guess what??? YOU CANT DO IT!! I can’t even bluetooth ma pictures from ma AT&T phone. It really sucks even when someone sends them to me you can’t use them as ringtones. I hate this phone.

• Josh Gomez

  hey guys and girls i have this phone and all but the only thing i dont know how to do is download pic to my pc from my phone anyone know how to plz respond cause i needs to know thank you

• LaLa

  I would just like to say, I just bought this phone today and it does suck..lolz damn i found all these free websites to DL ringtones…and now what..HA! its a joke…SCREW…if i knew it would suck so bad..id have thought about it…oh wellz…i guess ill just go with the usb bluetooth data idea.. ^-^

• silvee716

  Hi, Can someone tell me if there are games on this phone. It is weird that this phone doesn’t have games like all the other phones. Can someone tell me I can get games to play on my phone. Well is actually for my kds, I had the Kyocera and it had games and my new doesnt.

• Thickness

  this phone does not have anything…no games, no ring tones or mp3….sorry people this phone is a waste, I paid $211 for nothing but my mom phone $84 can get free ringtones and everything

• confusedjackie

  wow, i wanted this phone so bad, but i was planning on having nice ringtones, other then those crappy samples…. gosh, this sucks metro needs to try to get better phones….
  so far this is the best phone they have
  and this phone isnt at all that good…
  my cousin has it but doesnt know how horrible it relle is!
  i want the sidekick3 who thinks thats better? on the t-mobile sidekick 3 can you download music?
  somebody PLEASE TELL ME!!!
  email me at
  mileyfan63@yahoo.com
  THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• KEEPINITREAL:)

  Message for confused jackie: I am in the process f getting ready of t-mobile all together. They are high as heck and just an fyi, I just sold my sidekick II. I culd no longer afford it. You have to pay your regular plan in addidtion to a sidekick plan to use all those special features. It is awesome, put if it’s not in your budget, don’t bother. Also remember, you will be locked in a contract but from what I hear about metro pcs, T-mobile does have awesome customer service, grace on late pay, and very limited dropped calls.

• grape

YOu save pictures in your phone and the phone thinks they r still there after you have erased them. I have no pictures save in my phone and it currently says full memory!! They say there is nothng they can do about it. I have read about alot of other people having this problem too! Love metro but have this phone .. want to get a new one but scared to drop another 200 dollars on a phone that in 2 months im just gonna want to break!

• MS.I WANT RINGTONES

• IZAYA VIDAL

  i have the biggest problem ever. well to me it is. i have the samsung r410 and it says that my memory is full. i have no sounds. ringtones. nothing expect for 9 pictues. i checked the memory and it sayd that “my photos” are taking up 20.69MB which im not a electronic junky but i dont think 9 pictures take up that much memory.

• star

• CherryPearl23

  Ok, everyone, it’s not the phone, it’s MetroPCS. They had Samsung design these phones so that you are not able to download ringtones and wallpaper from nowhere other than MetroPCS. There is a way around it and after much trial and effort, I found the way for my Samsung R400 phone.
  _______________________________________________________
  My carrier is MetroPCS and I have the Samsung R400 phone. After much trial and error getting songs and graphics to load, I finally hit the jackpot. The below instructions worked for me and I have just finished testing with great success. I hope this works for other with Samsung R400 and/or MetroPCS subscribers.

  I installed the Samsung PC Studio 3 from the download listed on Samsung.com. I then installed the DataPilot Pix ‘n Tunes software (which I had purchased and could not get it to work before). After installing the Pix ‘n Tune software, make sure you get the updates on DataPilot’s website (you should do this during the installation process when it ask you to).

  Next check your Device Manager and make sure the followings are listed when your phone is connected to your computer’s USB port.
  Modems – SAMSUNG CDMA Modem
  Ports – SAMSUNG CDMA Modem Diagnostic Serial Port
  USB – SAMSUNG USB Composite Device

  If it is not listed exactly as above, I believe the operative thing is the Modem, Ports and USB should all have Samsung listed.

  Make sure you edit you MP3’s that you may set as a ring tone because MP3’s eat a lot of your phone’s memory and may cause the phone to freeze. Thinking about getting an conversion software that converts MP3, WAV, WMA files to QCP files.

  Good luck everyone. I hope it works for you as it did for me.

• Tyler

  I have the Samsung Vice and i went to Ventones.com i made my own ringtone and i sent it to my phone and it came up as Unsupported Download everytime i try to put on a free ring tone and it is really pissing me off cuz there no way im paying fuckin money for a 30 sec ringtone !!!

• Rika

  If ya'll need a website for ringtone downloads,go to funformobile.com they have ringtones,wallpaper,etc If you want to download mp3 music to your phone,you must buy a memory card and download limewire and do the buisness from there on
