Deleting Music Files
Can anyone tell me how to delete files from the music storage of the Juke? We inadvertently uploaded the wrong files and now cannot figure how to get rid of them.

Copying music from juke.
Anybody have any luck copying music from the Juke to your computer? I've tried, but have had no luck.
All you need to do is hook up your phone to the computer with the provided USB cable. Then go to my Computer and you will see the Juke as one of the folders available. At that time you can copy and/ or move your music from that folder. I hope this h...

Lights don't turn off on the Juke?
Either using the mp3 player, or talking regularly, the screen remains in sucking up battery power! I don't see an option to turn the screen off after 30 seconds or whatever of not pushing any buttons. I'd like to listen to the player with all lights off, and talk with all lights off to conserve battery. Help!

playlist trouble
I had 3 playlists on my Juke. While I was listening to tunes from one of them I thought of adding some other tunes to the playlist. After marking them and adding to the list, I found all playlists now had tunes in them that did not belong, including ones I had not previously selected.
Anyone else experience this?

Download pictures?
Is there a way to download pictures? I see you can upload to the verizon site but only a postage stamp picture comes out there.
Or is it not a real camera??
I have the same issue. My juke has several pics on it but lo and behold the browser doesnt show them on the device when connected to a PC. It shows the 1.87 GB of remaining internal storage with all the music I added but nothing else. Sheesh the bro...

External screen?
Well first of all i think its kinda odd that you need to look at your phone one way and when you go to answer it it has to be flipped end for end to answer it and then you have to swivel it open.. Is there a way to flip the screen like in the menu options or anything so when you read whos calling with out the phone fully open and still answer it without have to flip it around? Any ideals?

headset ring
Anyone know of a setting to allow the ringer to play through the headset (the supplied white, corded headset)? If I'm playing music through the headset and the phone rings (sound only comes through the phone), the music stops. I can't tell if it's a message or a call.

Does it charge when you plug in the USB cable?
I am thinking about buying this phone & I have a USB port car charger. So if anyone knows or has noticed that when they plug in the included USB cable to their computer, let me know if the phone starts charging & that will tell me if I have to buy a car charger or not.

ringtone, bitpim, myxertone, pic
I tried the yournumber@vzwpix.com but recently kept getting error message that it won't deliver. Is anyone having the same problem?
I've used myxertone.com to send ringtone with success, but not sure if I'm being charged for it. Esp. because they send two messages (one to alert the message and second to send it).
About bitpim, is there a program that's compatible with Juke? I don't see the phone on the bitpim list.
Lastly, without bitpim how do I transfer or edit my pics on Juke?
Any help is appreciated.

Will this phone be made as a GSM?
I would like to know if the Samsung Juke will be made in a GSM version, too? I would really like to see that. Why is it that the CDMA companies, or the companies I don't have service with, get some of the cooler phones?
I don't remember the exact model number but GSM model was on the Europe market with GSM earlier than U470. But i'm not sure if you can use that model if you are living in the US.

If your homemade ringtones are on your computer, send them in a picture message as an attachment to yournumber@vzwpix.com

How do you load music onto it?
Can you load right from iTunes? Do you record right from the CD? Do you have to do any converting?
Also, about how many songs fit into 2G?
Thanks,
Kenwood
Use the cable that came with the phone, connect to your windows computer, and use windows media player to manage syncing. This is the best music phone on the market (of Verizon phones anyway) and the only one I know of that can copy playlists from you...

anybody own this phone?
i want to get this phone so badly and am just wondering how anybody that has it feels abt it...
Yes, I just got it on Saturday. So far I really like it. I'm just a basic phone user, and don't do anything fancy with my phones except maybe send a few text messages and take a few pics, so this phone was perfect for me.
The MP3 player is great,...
(continues)
I love the thing. Great out of the box mp3 player, and I haven't had any complaints with voice quality, signal stregth, keypad for texting, or battery life. A solid phone IMO.
This is the best music phone by far in Verizon's line-up. I had the Venus briefly and returned it as it could not copy playlists to the phone. Playlists are a mission-critical function for music management.

ringtones
has anybody tried to email a ringtone to there phone, via xxxxxxxxxx@vzwpix.com and save it as a ringer ???
it has to be the right format. I think it is .aac but I could be wrong. Also there is a size limit and you definitely can't send an mp3.

speakerphone...
is the speakerphone any good ?
The speaker phone work good. I use it from day to day. Of course it works better in an office situation vs an outdoor setting but overall its good enough.

Headphones quality?
To anyone who owns this, how are the headphones that are included? Great or just ok? Is it worth getting a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter to use other headphones with it, or are the included ones pretty good?
It is 2.5 so you won't need an adapter. The headset is OK. You could use a stereo bluetooth as a step up.

Music Organization
Does this phone, like the chocolate, organize all music only in alphabetical order or will it read track numbers? I have the chocolate and if i put "Dark Side of the Moon" on it, it puts all songs in alphabetical order. Can anyone tell me how the Juke is with respect to this issue. Thanks
It organizes by track number and sorts by album and genre. It organizes like the Ipod.
