Bought a new phone not long ago, although I take really good care to my old phones, but they still have life span, and it just about time. So I buy a affordable price + basics function first touch screen phone in my life, SAMSUNG GALAXY Y (Model GT-S5360). I not so savvy in these smart phones, and after I bought it, many things and function crack my head, with some help of Internet and forums, I've solve some of the problems. So, here are some tips I've summarise for you out there:
How to MMS with SAMSUNG GALAXY Y
You should get the configuration installation sms from the respective telecommunication company, (digi get from digi website for example maxis, celcom and so on). I'm using digi so I show steps for digi user. You go to digi home page, at the upper right corner, type mms, don't enter or click anything, float the arrow near it and a quick link pop out of "Mobile Internet Setup" will come out, click it. in the pop out, choose via web, then enter a verification code, next page, type in your phone number, choose phone brand and model, sent. back to your phone, wait for sms, save and install it. whala, first step done.
Then, make sure your Packet Data is turned ON. Setting > Mobile Networks > Packet Data. Turn it off after u finished downloading ur MMS, else it will keep consuming ur credit.
Then Open “Messages”, next open “Settings”, you will need to scroll down to “MMS Settings” and disable the "auto Receive” by selecting disable next to this feature. The last step is to open an MMS message and click "Download”. You should now be able to receive your pictures on your samsung galazy manually.
How to change SAMSUNG GALAXY Y ringtones
Now, most of your songs and media will put in the SD Card, you need to set your folders EXACTLY like below:
Root Page, (the first page you enter your SD Card) Make a Folder with "Media" file name. Get inside "Media" folder, make a "Audio" Folder. Get in "Audio" folder and make "Ringtones" "Alarms" "Notifications" "Music" 4 folders.
SD card > Media > Audio > Ringtones (put your ringtone songs in here)
SD card > Media > Audio > Alarms (put your alarm songs in here)
SD card > Media > Audio > Notifications (put your sms and notifications songs in here)
SD card > Media > Audio > Music (others songs all put here, if not your option page will be long and messy)
If you set up your folder like above, once you reboot your phone, the OS will automatically set all the mp3 in Ringtones as an option when you go to ringtone menu. All the mp3 in Alarm folder will be selectable when you want to choose a Alarm tone and all the mp3 in the notification folder will be able to be used in sms and any app when you try to set a notification tone.
Sadly, SAMSUNG GALAXY Y default music player can only play MP3, so your WMA and others format songs can't play, lame : (
Here are some extra tips I quote from forum, hope can help you guys:
If you guys are annoyed that all your mp3 even the one from GPS navigation software comes up in your music plays, or all the pictures come up in the album app, then there is a simple way to remove it.
There’s a common Android problem of unwanted media files appearing in the song list of music players. This annoyingly causes your favorite songs to get mixed in with audio files associated with other apps, such as voice files for a GPS navigation app.
There’s a simple solution for this issue. We’ve already covered how you can hide certain files by changing a folder name to start with a dot, but you run the risk of causing problems with the app that’s linked to those files. Instead, there’s a similar solution: create a “.nomedia” file.
Here’s an easy trick that should only take a couple of minutes to keep unwanted audio files from popping up.
1. On your computer, open Notepad or any other text editor
2. Save the blank file as “.nomedia”
Make sure that the Save as type is set as “All Files” instead of “Text documents”
3. Copy that file to the folder on your SD card containing audio files you don’t want to show up.
(Example: If you want to block CoPilot sound files from coming up, place the .nomedia file in the sdcard/copilot folder)
4. Reboot your phone and the files should no longer be viewable
This same trick works for folders containing images or videos that you don’t want to appear in the Gallery app. The files will still be accessible from your original app or an explorer like Astro or Linda, but you’ll finally be able to stop hearing “Turn left” announcements after a great song.
