      Jei, bluetooth function of this phone is for bluetooth headset only. Also, please be reminded that games and applications cannot be transferred via bluetooth or infrared no matter what phone brand you are using. Games and applications are DOWNLOADABLE ONLY. In S853 case, you can only transfer games and/or application from S853 to another mobile if you use card reader or USB cable. Again games and applications are not transferrable via bluetooth or infrared. They can only be downloaded.

            Jerico, it's very simple. Choose the mp3 you want to be your alarm tone. Copy that song from your memory card (I am assuming that this mp3 is in your memory card) to your phone's memory. In the main screen, click or push the "OK" button, choose "Extras", choose "Alarms", press the right side of the metalic ring and go to "Settings", choose "Ringtone", choose "Melody" then choose that mp3 from the list.

                You can remove the Dir Ringtone by doing this:
                1) Copy your directory to sim card. In sim card, the directory copied will contains only the name and his number.
                2) From sim card, copy that directory again to phone memory and assign it with the Dir. Ringtone you want whether from phone or from memory card.

                    Jerico, just remember that when playing games, the phone spend battery for audio and video for a prolong time or straight time because while you are playing the backlight is always on. When playing mp3 the phone spent power only for audio and does not have its backlight on for straight time.

                      my first fone is alcatel, and i kinda have an infatuation on the fone. but it's been a while i used one..then i encounter this amazing ruggedly-looking fone, the ot-s853..wow! love at first sight..it's just, my enthusiasm dwindled when i read some of the opinions of those who luckily happened to own one..woh, "SAYANG"..

                        when i play games on my s853, the battery easily goes down. but when I play mp3 songs on a loudspeaker (in a high volume), it doesn't. Is this normal? My games does not have any sound.

                          The phone should really play songs randomly... I know mine does!

                            Hi,

                            I notice that when I play MP3 in shuffle mode, it somehow always play in the same order of songs... (I expect it to be purely random though...)

                            Is this also because of my old firmware?

                            Thanks!

                              Knight Rider and Nelson,

                              I guess all these are because of my old firmware version...

                              Hopefully I can upgrade it when I am back in Thailand...

                              Thanks again!

                                TTThunder, when you play the slideshow, a bar that shows the name of the file really appear but please be reminded that it will only appear in 1 second and dissapear to give you the full view of your picture. After 1 or 2 seconds it gives you another picture. Maybe this is not what happened in version below than 18b.

                                  This phone attends to its basic or main function, the call and text function. That is the reason why it mutes the mp3 if you browse your messages or create new message but it will continue the song when you are finished with your messages.

                                    About the mp3 comments:
                                    The tone should not cause the phone to skip the track, it should just stop where it was before the tone!

                                    Also you can not listen to mp3's and browse the sms messages.

                                    Jerico: It is safe to change the names via PC yes... or atleast it should be. Why not?

                                        Hi,

                                        Will this thing also happen in the latest firmware?

                                        1. When I play MP3, if the battery low warning tone comes out and after it finishes, instead of continue to play that song, the MP3 player goes to the next song...

                                        2. When the MP3 is playing, most of the thing we do do not have any effect on it.

                                        However, if we press the circle button up to access the SMS, the song stops...

                                        3. When we play slide show, the is a bar with the name of the file at the top of the screen... (I want to get rid of this bar since it obstructs the picture...)

                                        Thanks!
