I apologize if this is a double post.  My first submission seemed to get lost.

I had success up to a point in using the process described. 

I am using a memory card attached to my laptop via a USB adapter, as opposed to a direct USB hookup from the phone to the computer.  I have created the 3g2 file by following the instructions, and I moved that file to the DCIM>100LGDCF subdirectory on the memory card.  When I re-inserted the card into the phone, I went to the Menu>Pictures>Photo Album>Memory Card subdirectory.  The 3g2 file is visible, and I can play it using the Options key. 

This is where I get into trouble.  When I use Options>Assign, I do not get any other menu choices.  It automatically assigns the file as a screen saver, with no other choices available.

Does anybody have any idea what I am doing wrong, or how I can get past this point to assign the file as a ringer.

I am actually using the Canadian version of the Rumour (sorry, the Rumor - I was using the Canadian spelling) on the Bell Mobility network.  However, I assume that the programming is going to be the same, regardless of the country of origin.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you for the detailed instructions. 

Just as Johnny99, I too have run into the same problem:  "When I use Options>Assign, I do not get any other menu choices.  It automatically assigns the file as a screen saver, with no other choices available."

Any ideas?

Thanks Reenaj

That doesn't work for me either

Is there any way to send ringtones to an lg rumor from a computer over bluetooth. (My laptop has bluetooth and i don't want to have to buy a cable if i don't need it)

Every time i save the video on windows movie maker and try to load it on Freez 3gp video converter it says the video has failed to load......what did i do wrong?

This is just an uneducated guess (I have the same problem), but I bet that Sprint was very kind in updating our firmware for us as to disable this "useless".... ahem.they.just.want.to.make.money..... feature.

The software loaded on the phone does not let you select anything but an image file when sending a Picture message.  MP3's are not recognized.  Even if you could send one, it sounds like the same software won't let you save a sound file locally.  I tried sending myself an e-mail with an MP3 attachment, which I could play when I received, but there was no way to save it off to the phone.  Only send by bluetooth or e-mail to someone else.  

Of course, I got around this limitation by going to a website that allows you to send a text message for an uploaded file.  The text message contains a link to the file, so when you click on it and launch your browser, you end up able to retrieve the file by HTTP download.  It's very slow and doesn't always work, but at least I got a nice selection of my own custom sounds and ringtones loaded on the phone now.
