    You can also add an Alarms folder, if you wanted to change the alarm sounds.
    Any other issues, I would be happy to answer them.

      Re: Post by RottenFoxBreath,

      Man, you are GOOD! Your posting worked a treat!
      I've been trying to solve the problem with the Text Message Sound for ages. I couldn't have done it without your help.
      Many Thanks.

        @ Anonymous, about the SMS tones..
        In the root of your SD card, create a folder called Media, and inside that folder, create another folder called Notifications(you can also add folders called Wallpaper, UI, Ringtones, for their own stuff).
        Place your desired tones in the newly made Notifications folder, and in your main settings screen, you can select the Notifications sounds you want, for everything other than texts.
        - this screen lets you select notifications for everything bar texts/MMS.
        If you want to use a different text tone, than the normal ones, enter your text window(green icon on main home screen, and press menu, then settings, scroll down to ringtone, and it will show all the ones you have added.
        This lets you use a ringtone for calls, in the main phone settings, a notification for everything(bar texts), and in the text menu, a seperate ringtone for texts/MMS, etc.

        Hope this helps.

            Does anyone know how to put a different SMS tone onto this phone? Ringtones are easy enough, but I can't change the text message tone to one of my own. Does it have to be in a specific format?

It searches for free mp3 files. Transfer the audio files to your memory card, that simple. Several methods, you can bluetooth them from another phone, transfer them from your computer, or dowload them from a site.

                PS update to my post on this phone, have found a good app that does have an eq' built in for sound works well! Reelplayer beta seems to automatically upscale video content and works well.

                      Are there covers available for this phone? I find that the back cover is extremely prone to scratches.

                        if you are not sure which device it is have my computer up before you plug your phone in, then it should pop up.

                                PS Why no review on Samsung Galaxy Apollo i5801 yet? Come on GSM Arena, you have the contacts, why not use them? Probably all in the Paris Coffee shops lol!

                                  Build quality a little suspect, my one had visible scratch on screen, took of factory protective film to confirm. Also the touch buttons, the two of them make odd noises when pressed, sounds like the screen is stuck in place by double sided sticky tape!

                                  Otherwise, excellent phone. Bright screen, with a high resolution for this size screen, at least it's not 240x400, or even 240x320, so good. The media player, two things why no graphic eq, does 1.6 android not support this? secondly, no zoom feature available on video, that always bugs me.

                                  Design is good though, fits well into hand, ideal for larger male hands or the smaller female variety, so not just a compact ladies phone.

                                  The sound through earphone very good, sadly you only get the one combined ear piece/ speaker which is just sufficient, but not exactly brilliant.

                                  Overall conclusion, excellent value for money, good screen, well my sample may just be bad luck, earphone excellent. Browsing very fast, apps supplied out of box fantastic.

                                  Compared to Samsung Galaxy Apollo i5801 on Orange which costs more (refer to UK here), this is the better deal, higher screen res' and looks nicer.

                                  Buy, if you want a reasonable bargain Android, if you have more cash get a refurbished Hero from Three.
