Free ringtones for the Samsung A900 (Sprint)?

I need to know how to get ringtones through my new A900 with Sprint. I don't want to pay ANYTHING. To my knowledge, I can't record my own, or use songs I put on my phone through the USB cord. Any websites/tricks to get good, FREE ringtones? =)

Free ringtones for the Samsung A900 (Sprint)?
To upload any sound file to your Samsung A900 and use it as a ringtone without paying for the “Sprint Store” or “Power Vision” simply follow these simple step-by-step instructions.





Step 1 – Select the sound file you wish to use. Remember you won’t be hearing the whole song, so choose something with a good chorus or intro you enjoy.





-THEN-





Step 2a – If you have access to a program which allows you to trim mp3 files at the points you’d like, do so. You now have your ringtone!





-OR-





Step 2b – If you don’t have access to such a program, download a freeware product which will let you convert mp3 to wav. Convert your file, and then open it in your Windows Sound Recorder program which can be found in Accessories%26gt;Entertainment. Use the edit options to trim your long wav song into a short wav ringtone. Save it, and convert your new wav file back into mp3 format. You now have your ringtone!





-THEN-





Step 3 – Download a program which will let you convert mp3 to 3g2. I had a rather hard time finding one, so to help you out I’ll suggest looking here





-Then-





Step 4 –Install and open your conversion program. Select your ringtone wav or mp3 and if able to, disable video and alter the bit rate to suit your needs. Choose .3g2 as the file format you wish to output, and then convert your file.





-THEN-





Step 5 – Whip out your a900 and shoot a short camcorder movie of whatever. You only need to do this once.





-THEN-





Step 6– Connect your a900 to your pc using the USB cable it came with, then on your handset select tools%26gt;mass storage%26gt;connect to pc. This will let you upload files onto your phone.





-THEN-





Step 7 – On your PC look in “My Computer” for a drive which will appear as something like “Removable Disk”. Explore into it and click through DCIM%26gt; 100SSMED (or whatever is on your phone). Here you should see whatever pictures you’ve taken with your phone as well as any video. Copy the filename of the movie you shot in step 5.





-THEN-





Step 8 – Copy your ringtone in 3g2 format into the folder containing your sample camcorder movie. Delete your sample camcorder movie and rename your new ringtone file by single clicking and then pasting the sample movie’s name into it. For example, my new ringtone after I’ve done steps 1-8 is now called SSPX0033.3g2





-THEN-





Step 9 – To finally set your uploaded song as a ringtone, disconnect your a900 from your pc, then enter Settings%26gt;Sounds%26gt;Ringer type%26gt;Voice calls%26gt;With caller id%26gt; then scroll down to My Videos. You will see a file with a box and an X in it. Highlight it, select Options and select Play. If you’ve done your job you will be able to hear your new ringtone. If so, click back and then click assign. This ringtone will now play whenever someone calls and your phone is able to id them. To use it as an individual ringtone, go through your contacts list.





Final note - For any subsequent ringtones youll be making, just be sure to change the number in your final 3g2 file, such as SSPX0034.3g2 instead of SSPX0033.3g2





Woohoo!

Reply:You can always have ringtones messaged to your phone. I know there are a lot of websites that can do it instantly. In fact, I did it with a DMX track just a few days ago. Upload and email to your phone.





There are literally hundreds of sites that will allow you to do this.
Reply:I create all my own ringtones.





Creating Ringtones using iTunes:


- In iTunes go to Preferences-%26gt;Advanced-%26gt;Importing and make sure to set Import Using to AAC Encoder


- Drop an audio file into iTunes


- Right-click on the newly added file in iTunes and select "Get Info"


- Go to "Options" and adjust the Start Time %26amp; Stop Time as necessary to "chop" the sound/song to a shorter sound (This may take some fiddling. You can close the Get Info window and play the "song" to hear how it sounds.)


- Right-click on the newly added file in iTunes and select "Convert Selection to AAC"


- Right-click on this new file and select "Show in Finder" (or whatever the Windows equivalent is)


- This is your new ringtone file





Getting the Ringtone On To Your Sprint PCS Samsung A900:


- Go to http://rumkin.com/tools/sprint/index.php and use the form to send a text message with the file to your phone


- When you receive the text message click "Go" on the phone and your phone will go to the web and download the sound file


- When the file is downloaded you can either just add it to your ringers or "Set As" to set it as a specific ringer right away
