So my mom gets this new phone from a 2-3 year old nokia bar phone to a 200 dollar samsung slimslide sgh 629 model phone for free, since we opened up another t-mobile line. She said I could have it so we traded phones by sim cards (my old phone was a motorola, no-camera, basic flip)
So now I'm left with this behemoth of a cell phone with a conglomerate of different features. My first problem is I have no idea how to get to silent mode. When I press the side buttons down, the sound bar gets stuck on ring volume 1, but I want silent. Also, is there a way I can add any of my mp3 songs or have it (the phone) select the time of the song I want it to play as my ringtone? Or am I forced to buy some random song part off their "hifi ringers" section for a preposterous amount for a 10 second recording of the worst part of the song?

samsung slimslide sgh 629 model

I did re-read that manual and the "silent mode" page where it told me what to do was not listed in the index-only the page on how to change its settings was listed so hm. As for the ringtone deal I can't stand the ones I have to choose from. Arg.

Check out Phone Scoop (http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=1048).

You can also download the Samsung user manual direct from them (http://www.samsung.com/us/support/search/supportSearchResultView.do?group=&group_cd=&type=&type_cd=&subtype=&subtype_cd=&model_nm=&dType=D&vType=L&mType=&model_cd=SGH-A117ZKCATT&menu=download&prd_ia_cd=&acc_ia_fl=&disp_nm=SGH-t629), instead of using the one provided by T-Mobile, which may be edited.
