Originally posted by DToWN Man, Ive been through hell trying to put TUNES on my VX8000. Yesterday, tried it with QPST or whatever, messed my phone up, it would just turn off randomly.

I now tried it with BitPim, the newest one 0.7.31, deleted the aod.dat, but when I tried to add the mp3 to the AOD folder it just errors. ANY HELP WOULD BE AMAZING |

Here's the scoop: I'm running WINXP, and have the FutureDial cable (cable 19) from Radioshack for the LG 1200, VI5225, VX4500, VX4600, and VX6000. I even shaved down the tabs on the plug so that it connects like butter. And no, I didn't damage it in the process, I'm like a surgeon with an Xacto knife. So Pureskillzzz, I downloaded the files from your FTP, everything in LG/Drivers. I ran LGUSBDriverInstallation_35f, and first it uninstalled stuff. I ran it a second time and then it alerted me that the drivers were successfully installed. Then I Unzipped the file LG44005350drivers. In the unzipped folder I run the Setup app, which does an uninstall, then I run it again and it says drivers installed successfully. Then I connected my data cable to my phone, and plugged it into my computer. I got the ding, and then blurb about "USB Device Not Recognized", and I clicked on the message for more details/options. Then I get a window titled "USB Device Not Recognized" and it shows me a tree of my USB Root Hub (2 Ports). I should note that I've got 7 USB ports on my PC, two in the front and 5 in the back. My iPod is connected to one in the front, and my Kodak camera dock is plugged into the back, along with my keyboard. Anyways, the tree for the Hib shows: Unused Port (iPod isn't in the port) Unknown Device Unknown Device is in bold, so I figure that's the one I want. I double-click it and get "Unknown Device Properties" window, with tabs General and Driver. I click the driver tab knowing that I need to install the drivers. There, four options are listed: -Driver Details (which goes to say No driver loaded for device) -Update Driver -Roll Back Driver -Uninstall First I Uninstall just to be sure, then I click Update Driver. Hardware Update Wizard hell begins. I select "Install from a specific location" and click Next. I then get the options of "Search for the best drivers in these locations..." and "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install.". I select option 2, and then click Next. Then I get a new window asking me to select the manufacturer and model of the device I am installing, where my only option is "Unknown Device". So I click "Have Disk", and then am prompted to browse to the files. I go to where I've unzipped the drivers (VX4400 VX6000\winxp), then click open (not on any specific file, as I assume that it will autodetect which to use, I later tried selecting each individual one to no avail). I then get the message "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware". Click OK, reselect files to install, same thing. I'm at my wits end. I know this phone is awesome, and I've I alread racked up $4 in txting pics to the phone becuase it sucks, and I can't get anywhere with installing anything. Hell, I haven't even gotten to the point of Bitpim or QPST. This sucks and I'm hoping you can show me the way, you seem to really know what you're doing here. I've had a post up at CellPhoneHacks.com for nearly a month and no one's replied. I don't recall my old VX4400 being this **** difficult. Anyways, please please please tell me what I am doing wrong. |

I closed bitpim and did this again to verify it. Someone else give it try. I put like 10 mp3s on there in a few seconds.

it goes something like. 1. Go into your cell and change data settings to 11500 and USB(or maybe RSC..)<--i don't remember. 2. Connect cell phone to computer via vx6000 or vx7000 cable. 3. Open up 'QPST Configuration' Program. 4. Click on Add New Port 5. Type in "COM1" and onward until you get to yours. I had to keep on going until i reached "COM15". 6. Highlight and make sure it's enabled. 7. Go into your other 'QPST' programs and have fun. Salawat!! *Beer and other alcohol objects are haraam to consume unless it's for a medicinal reason.* |

Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Where can I get BitPim? BitPim can be found here. I do not use version 0.7.26 which is the latest. I use 0.7.25 which you can find here. Personally I couldn't get 0.7.26 to work for me, ON MY LAPTOP but on my PC it works. Weird. Anyway if 0.7.26 doesn't work, uninstall the whole thing and then install .25 Pictures: *Take a certain picture of whatever *Save it, then use BitPim. *Go to the “dload” tree *Then open the “img” tree *Then find that picture you just took, and right click on that file. *Select “overwrite” and replace it with the picture you want. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Music/Ringtones: *In ringtones, click on “record new” and record whatever. *Go into BitPim and open up the “dload” tree. *Then open up the “snd” tree *Find that voice recording you did, and right click on it. *Select “Overwrite” *Find your ringtone and select it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Music/Tunes: For your mp3 player in the phone this is alittle more difficult than putting ringtones on. *First go into your BitPim and click on the “dload” tree *Then the first file you see is “aod.dat” DELETE IT (this refreshes every restart) *Now close the “dload” tree and open the “brew” tree *Look near the bottom and you’ll see the “shared” tree, open it. *Now open the “aod” tree. *Right click on the “aod” tree and click on “New File” *Find the Mp3 you want and upload it. *Now once you finished uploading, restart BitPim and your phone. Then do the whole process over again. (Now you can upload any mp3 at any quality. All my mp3s are 128, but that is taking up a lot of space, so I’m considering reloading them at 64.) (Also if you upload something BIG like I have the 7 minute Metallica – One song there, if you upload a large song like this and you noticed your BitPim is probably frozen. Just unplug your phone and restart BitPim and your phone, and you’ll notice the is on there) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Video: Here are the steps *record something, for like a second. It doesn't matter. *Download something in Avi. format (or convert video to avi) *Now if it’s not Avi. format and you need a program to convert whatever file to Avi. then this is what I recommend. " STOIK Video Converter 2 " IT'S FREE!!!! -How to use: -Input File - is the video u got that u want in avi format. -Output file - is where ur new avi. is going to show up on ur comp. -Output format - is what format u want ur new video to be -Select " AVI to Small PC " becuz that size fits ur screen the best -Also press " Crtl P " and at the bottom u need to switch the audio from momo to stero (cuz u got the 8000 might as well use stero right?) *Use Nokia Multimedia converter 2.0 to convert Avi. to QCIF (You can find here. ) -Open your new Avi. file and then hit “Convert” -Give it a couple seconds, then save the file! *Use BitPim 0.7.25 (or any working BitPim) *Go to Brew/Media/ the video file you recorded *Right click on the file and select "Overwrite" *Find ur QCIF file and there u go! Leave your comments and questions and have fun! |

I thought that the messages would delete themselves after I reached a certain amount. Like, the last message would automatically be erased to make room for the new one. <--- is that possible, to have it autodelete so i dont have to do it manually all the time??
thanks |

It shouldn't cost you more than $10, including shipping.

1.) Turn on your LG VX8000 cell phone. 2.) Press the left softkey to access MESSAGING. 3.) Press the left softkey (again) to access SETTINGS. 4.) Press the number 2 to access AUTO ERASE. 5.) Change the radio button from Off to On. 6.) Press OK to accept the change. This might do it, but I don't know how many days the message will automatically erase in. |

I had a voice recording with the names consistent. It says that it's been overwritten on my "dld" tree, but that it's still a .qcp file. When I play it, it's dead space. What am I doing wrong? Please help. |

When I was going through the setup processes, I got the "New hardware installed" for the cable...and like I said, everything works with BitPim and QPST, but when I plugged the phone in (after installing the VX8000 drivers version 4.5 from LG), I never got a bing, or anything saying that new hardware was connected. Obvviously, XP knows it is there, as the CABLE shows up under "Ports" in the Device manager and I can pull data off the phone...
Am I skipping a step? Do I need to have the futuredial software too? Thanks Brian |

Is this due to the firmware upgrade? I don't see how software is going to give you more memory but if it did, that is awesome! We vx8000 Owners have become masters at counting, saving, and reserving memory space, so an extra 9 MB memory changes the world. |

http://global.mobileaction.com/download/download.jsp uninstall your future dial driver in run Mobile Action 9.0. I don't know if it will recognize your USB cable but I cant see why it should'nt. A cable is a cable right? Go ahead and give it a try. No problems as of yet for me. |

Next step was tryin to put a mp3 as a tune but when i was backing up my aod.dat it was 0bytes.
Can someone tell me how many bytes their aod.dat backup is please? Is the aod.dat suppose to be 0bytes because the phone didn't have any tunes to begin with? Also, what is the correct way to add a mp3 as a ringer and filesize? I tried to add a 454kb 27sec mp3 as a ringer but it showed up on qpst but not on the phone after resetting, many thanx in advance Also, I keep getting a server busy error and the options are switch to and retry. After pressing switch to, the start menu pops up, then after pressing both buttons a couple times the mp3 file is loaded on qpst, but when i reset the phone, it's still not there, dunno whats wrong. I figured out what i was doing wrong. Each time you reset your phone, it makes a new sound.dat file so you would have to delete it again if you want to add another midi or mp3 on ringers. Best way is to add a couple of them i guess then reset the phone. Still curious about the default aod.dat file though |
Just let it do it's thing. Upload as many files as you want in one session. When you're finished and it asks you if you want to reset your phone, I always click NO and wait untill it closes. Then I unplug and reset the phone myself. The reason why I do this is because when I used to click yes, the phone would reset and so would my PC. I'm sure this will help some.
Please forgive me for asking this because I know I saw it on here somewhere before. I have searched and searched and can't find it so I have to ask. Can someone tell me how to put a gif file on my 8000. I thought I saw a post on here a some time ago about how to put animated pics on the phone and they would move. If I change the extension I can load the pic but it does not move. If I leave it as a gif it doesn't show up at all. Please help if you can. Thanks for everything!

Maybe it's the type of cable, too, where some 7000/8000 data cables transfer data and recharge either phone, whereas other (cheaper) cables might only transfer data. |
