AT&T Samsung Impression Tricks – Bypass 300kb ringtone limit
I find how to bypass 300kb ringtone limit on AT&T samsung impression on samsung-impression.org, posted by cut_cutta. As the instruction,聽 I got >300kb ringtones to function perfectly using the internal memory. I am 99% positive that it will also work by putting the songs a miniSD card. Thanks for cut_cutta’s sharing very much. AT&T Samsung Impression info
Here is just the steps to teach you how to do :
1. Take an mp3 (or other ring tone format…) that is less than 300kb, put it on your phone, and set it as a ring tone.
2. Go into the phone with PC studio, or onto your memory card (wherever you stored the <300kb file at) and delete it.
3. Take an mp3 that is ANY size you want, RENAME THE FILE TO THE EXACT SAME NAME AS THE SMALLER MP3, then upload it to the phone to the same directory that the smaller mp3 was in.
4. You are DONE. AT&T cell phone Questions&Answers
Here’s a few tips:
The smaller file doesnt have to be the same song as the bigger one. It can be ANY mp3 ring tone.聽 Use one that you already have and upload it. Only the file names and file extension (*.mp3, *.aac, etc) have to be the same.
Whenever you want to set a new larger mp3 as your ring tone, just change the name of that file to the same name as the ringtone that is ALREADY on your phone, delete the tone that is on your phone and upload the new one. As long as the names are the same, you wont have to mess around with reactivating ringtones or any more file swapping. To keep things simple i just named the ringer on my phone ring.mp3 and keep changing the new tones to that name.
Hope it works for you!

.I tried it using blue tooth to transfer the larger mp3 after renaming it to the original <300kb, and it still is ringing the old one , not sure where from even though it has been deleted. I did this in the phone memory.
Yea, same thing happened to me. I figured once the song (samller size) is set as ringtone, a copy of it (from the sd card) will be made to the phone storage, and the phone uses that copy as the ringtone instead of the original one on the card. Even if I replaced it with a larger file song with the same name, it wouldn’t replace the one that was copied to the phone storage, cause the file is locked and hidden.
it didnt work for me like wen i change the file name and ry to put in on the phone it say the orginal file name and not the smaller file name that yu copy the name of. you should make a video of it lol.
This does not work. Whoever posted this, did not actually try it or left something out.
When you do this, if you would look in your audio folder wherever you placed the songs, both will still be there because the phone made a special save because you had it set as a ringtone. And the phone will ring with the old one. If you delete that save then there is still no way to set the bigger file as a ringtone.
Edit:
Thsi works if and only if your song is saved to your phone and you use the Samsung PC studio.
This Works! Thanks for your submission. Do as he says: first DELETE the working ringtone, then upload the new one that was first named as the deleted file. I did this with my USB cable (NOT bluetooth) and it worked perfectly!
It actually works!!! tnX… great job!!! can you figure out, how to bypass the scrensaver?
honestly…i think this is very stupid….it works and thank you for sharing this…but its a shame how we have to find tricks to get a 20 sec ringtone…how sad is this…my old razor enabled me to have a 2 min ring to, but now all the high tech phones get most stupid….y should i have to pay 250 for a phone, that only allows a 10 sec ring tone.
It actually works!!! thnX鈥 great job!!!
Hey…Guys….its working…Great…..Every other people does not delet file that’s why happen….but connect with pc studio……and listen ringtone in computer…if listen older ringtone delete it and past same name ringtone from computer…its work….
Took me a while to get started with using the PC studio, but this worked!!Hats off buddy!!
I keep trying this as the instruction say but it still won’t let me use the larger ringtone (says ringtone is to large to use as ringtone) here’s what I’m doing please tell me where I’m going wrong.
Step 1. Using PC Studio via USB connection I import file from PC, 128kb wav. ringtone onto the PC studio media manager.
Step 2. I drag the 128kb wav. ringtone from the Media Manager area to my phone icon where it uploads to the audio file area on my phone.
Step 3. I go to my phone contacts and select one person and add the 128kb ringtone as the ringtone for that person.
Step 4. I then go back into my PC documents and change the name of the larger 1.1mb ringtone to the same name as the smaller 128kb and import the 1.1mb ringtone onto the Media Manager area of PC Studio.
Step 5. I then click on my phone icon in the PC Studio area and delete the 128kb out of the audio section file where it was stored. Then I drag the larger same name ringtone from the Media Manager list area and put it into the audio file area where I had just deleted the smaller ringtone from my phone. I then close out PC Studio and open up my contacts area on my phone, I go to the person that I had given the smaller ringtone too and edit the ringtone by selecting the new larger ringtone with the same name, it changes the ringtone but when I hit the “add” button to finalize the change it comes back with “cannot use ringtone because file is too large”.
I feel like I’m doing the exact directions that you all say should make this work, could you please tell me what I’m doing wrong if anything, thank you.
It works!
Step 1: Put your original ringtone (under 300) under the ringtone section on the external memory card. Do this with PC Studio.
Step 2: Disconnect phone.
Step 3: Reconnect phone. Delete original ringtone and replace in same spot (external memory under tone) with the new ringtone (over 300kb.) Then disconnect.

Thanks Jen works perfectly… made it slightly more simpler to figure out… Thanks again and it Does Work!
its amazing that this works but its kinda gay that u have to do this….on my old phone samsung behold i could’ve used any music file as ring tone….but Thanks for this tip
Thanks so much – it works great! (Works on my Mythic too).
This works perfectly! The only trouble is, if you have several ringtones and you switch between them, you will not be able to revert to your ringtone that is >300kb without restoring your original file, choosing it, and then replacing it again with the new one. So choose your ringtone carefully.
