For those wanting to know,
Here's how to place ring tones on your Sanyo 8400. At this stage it only works for Calls but NOT for messaging/voice mail.
Tools
Quicktime Pro (QT)
Paint
WAV/MP3 editor (I use Goldwave, another common one is Audacity)
1)
Make a JPEG with dimensions 64x64 pixels
2)
Open this with QT
3)
Edit yourself a ringtone no longer than 30 seconds (more than 30 and it will normally click to voicemail)
4)
Save As Mp3 with the attributes:
44,100Hz,
160kbps **Can vary depending on size & quality**
Mono
5)
Open this in a new QT window.
6)
Copy the ring tone and paste it at the very start of the JPEG window in QT
7)
Click
File
->
Export
8)
From this prompt, select
Movie to 3G
next to the
Export
heading then click the
Options
button.
9)
Select the following options and click
Ok
and then
Save
from the previous prompt window.
NOTE:
Varying the
Data Rate
will increase the quality but also increase the file size. As a rule of thumb keep the final file size under 500kb.
10)
On the 8400, go to
Tools -> USB Connection -> Mass Storage
then plug in the USB cable from the box. (Ensure the MicroSD card is already installed)
11)
The 8400 will appear as a Removable Disk. Open the drive and navigate to DCIM\100SANYO\ and paste the .
3g2
file in here.
12)
Safely remove the USB cable then navigate through the following:
Menu
Pictures
My Albums
Select "In microSD"
Select your ringer (should be all white)
Options
Copy/Move
If it lets you copy/move it, it will play. I ended up moving them all into the Phones internal memory rather than the MicroSD.
Thanks goes to

here
on the Sprint forums, I've fleshed it out a little bit more for simplicity's sake.

Let me know how it works. There are different methods for different sanyos as the filesystem changes every few models
If the above method doesn't work, try the one listed in Phatblokes post
