Please Help!!! someone.
I have this phone and am trying to change my message tones. I have read the posts about changing the msg tone to mmf format, but even when i have mmf format i can only change my voice call or video call, there is no option about msg tones.
I think the phone is pretty cool, but the plastic cover on the back is a bit creaky and become loose after a while.

Have scrolled through pages of comments. but can find nothing to answer my MMS question on the Z510. My g'friend bought it for herself. The O2 SIM is fine (tested in another handset), but the handset somtimes chooses not to receive MMS's. Also, whenever you take a picture and try to send as MMS, a msg appears "this media cannot be attached". Have tried all 4 picture sizes, but nothing. This is on top of the earlier issue that we had of getting the correct WAP/GPRS settings correct. Is it a simple handset settings things? Has anyone had similar issues? Can anyone help me? Thx,

to flip the camera vertically use the volume up button on the left side of the phone and the volume down one to flip the cam horizontally..........

Yes the phone can ring and vibrate at the same time, and to take a self pic use the up and down keys on the side of the phone to flip the picture.

Hi !
I get this phone for 2 days now and it's lovely.
Besides that I have 2 questions:
- When taking picture (self portrait) the phone does not flip the image. So my head is reverse and that's annoying. Do we have to flip the phone to take portrait or is there a special config somwhere ? What's strange is that is that when doing video call, the the phone flips the imgae to normal position ...
- what's nice is to define tones for messages. But it seems that it's not allowed to use mp3 tones for msg. Only mmf formated one. I have transformed my mp3 to mmf, but the sound is too weak. Is there a way to control the volume for the msg sound or is there a way to put there mp3 ? You can use mp3 for ringtone, so why not for msg tone ?

To all the people saying this is a copy of Moto V3,V31,V3x.
The Samsung z510 keypad design and function is superior. I hate the 'plate' style keypad on the Moto's.

Appy, Thanks. I just figured that out last night. Voice calling on this phone means make a "voice" call, not a "video" call, not "voice dial". I used it a lot with my RAZR while using my bluetooth headset. I just had to put those numbers on speed dial and deal with it. Other than that, it is far superior to the RAZR in every way.

I upgraded to this phone and it wouldnt charge properly,it would stop after a few mins and I had to unplug it and plug it back in for it to charge again,eventually it got so bad I sent it back and got another one only for it to have the same fault so I sent it back and got another one and to my dismay this one did the same and after having it a day it went really warm to touch and the battery drained within 5 mins and turned itself off, needless to say I returned that one too this all happened over 3 weeks. I was gutted as I really like samsung phones and have had a D500 for 16 months now and havent had a problem with it once. The Z510 is a lovely looking phone and when it works its great only I wouldnt recommend it. There is no way it can just be me with 3 faulty ones can it????

You might find the problem is the 3G clock update.
A lot of 3G phone seem to have this problem with the clock jumping time. I would try turning the 3G off and just using it on 2G for a wile, That should fix your clock problem.

The reason you cant find voice dial is because this phone does not have voice dial, Not many samsungs these days do.. I think the d800 has Voice dial but this one doesnt.
