Hi catdoctor!
Thank you for your inquiry.
The Samsung Restore™ Cell Phone (SPH-M570) certainly has this feature once you receive e-mails. Please follow the procedures on the link below on how you can change the ringtones on your phone for messaging.
I recently added music to my micro sd card, but the media player doesn't appear to be working. When I go to it, it works for a second, but then it says "unable to play file". I double checked that it was the right format, and it still doesn't work. Also, when I go to the "mass storage" section and go to the sd card, I can play the music just fine! But since that is just such a hassle to do, I'd just rather get the media player to work. Also, I was wondering if there is a way to make a song a ringtone.

Hi there!
Thank you for your correspondence.
Before this happened, did you downloaded any applications on the phone?
Most issues like this may be resolved with minimal troubleshooting. Once troubleshooting has been done to the point of actual failure, we can setup a repair on the handset, should it be determined the problem cannot be resolved over the phone. We can repair the phone, if it is still under warranty and has not been physically damaged.
At your earliest convenience, please call Samsung Customer Support by phone at our toll free number 1-888-987-4357, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday, Central Standard Time.

Why does the system not include the Shortcuts Tile in the carousel?
Why does the system not include the Shortcuts Tile in the carousel? I own a SPH-M570ZKASPR with software version M570.DH13. The User Guide shows that it should be there. My wife has the green version and she doesn't have that tile either. Can you help? I NEED that tile.

Hi DK5290!
Thank you for your inquiry.
WAV files cannot be assigned as a ringtone for the Samsung Restore. Provided here below are the type of files that you may use as a ringtone. MP3 MP4 / AAC MP4 / AMR M4A 3GP / AAC 3GP / AMR WMA REAL
Audio files less than 300 KB are treated as ringtones, whereas audio files which are greater than 300 KB are considered as Music. Users cannot set a media file as a ringtone if it is larger than 300 KB. Some media files transferred to the handset via ActiveSync may not be able to be used as ringtones or alerts.
All Samsung products are manufactured to the specifications of the service provider for whom they are produced.
Thank you for your continued interest in Samsung products.
Thank you for your inquiry. Are you referring on how to upload pictures from the phone to your Facebook account?

However, please keep in mind that we don’t support any third party application for any of our devices. For this reason, we do not have information compiled on possible resources.

Regarding your concern, there is no need to install any software on the computer for you to connect the handset with your PC. All you need to have is a memory card inside the handset and a data cable then set the phone to mass storage.
To connect the phone to the computer, please follow the steps below: Pull out and up the memory card slot cover Insert the formatted microSD card into the memory card slot Connect the USB data cable to both the handset and the USB port on the PC If Select USB Mode appears on the display press the clear key to return to the standby screen OR if the MTP Connect to the PC... appears on the display, press OK then with Yes highlighted press OK to disconnect from the PC From the standby screen, press OK for Menu Select Settings & Tools Select Tools Select USB Mass Storage From the PC, double click on the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop Double click on the newly created drive letter (which may appear as an icon or text, depending on your View settings) Double click on the folder to view the contents Copy and paste or drag n drop the files to/from the destination on the PC From the handset, press OK for Disconnect With Yes highlighted, press OK then remove the USB data cable from both the handset and PC
