Having problems with Bitpim 0.8.12 VX8100

I just upgraded my Bitpim program to version 0.8.12 and the phone will not be recognized by the computer. I have a LG VX8100. When I try to have the program find a phone, it will not find the devise. I have tried Other CDMA phones, but the computer will still not find my phone. All I use Bitpim for is phonebook backup. Can anyone please help me?

I have used other versions of Bitpim in the past with no problems. I have a disc with a very old version of the program, but chose to update it to the latest level. Now the phone will not ever be seen by the computer. I may just install the older version and use that one. All I use Bitpim for is to backup my phonebook only.
thanks

I'm also having problems with Bitpim 0.8.12. I had a VX6000 and upgraded to VX8100. I've used Bitpim before with my VX6000 without any problems. I'm trying to transfer my phonebook to the VX8100, but without any success. I've tried using data cable and Bluetooth, but get the same response from my phone, "Service Required." I've been able to transfer everything else from my VX6000 (ringtones, wallpapers, etc.) except for the contacts. Can anybody help?

It looks like you have one entry in the phonebook in bitpim and this entry is already on the phone.
Can you describe the problem in more detail.

Posted by: sxayarath

Well...the phone is brand new as I just got it today. I had been using an older version of Bitpim that didn't even have a VX-8100 in the phone list, so I upgraded to 0.8.12. I tried using my data cable that I had for my VX-6000 (I shaved down the connection so it fit the 8100) and it worked for everything except for the phonebook and my sms. I thought it might be possible that it wasn't transferring due to the cable, so I decided to use a bluetooth connection instead. I've had a bluetooth adapter that I've never used so I connected to my PC and followed the instructions found on these forums. I got the PC and 8100 to connect and Bitpim was connected through COM8. I again tried transferring everything and everything seemed to work except the phonebook and sms again. All my wallpapers, custom ringtones, and schedule stuff transferred.

What happens is that it will begin transferring and then the 8100 will say "Service Required", shut down, and restart. I'll go to the contacts and there's nothing there. I haven't put any entries in the contacts yet.

I've tried rebooting Bitpim and transferring and I've tried powering off and on my phone booting up Bitpim and then transferring. Still get the same results.

Also, the first time I tried sending my contacts, I got some errors about a few of my phonebook entries, such as #3282 (DATA), #646 (Minutes), etc. I erased those entries in Bitpim and transferred again without the errors.

Ummm...that's all I can think of now. Thanks again.

Okay...somehow I got it to work. I was fooling around in Bitpim and decided to right click an entry and i selected "set as current." I sent the phonebook to the 8100 and it worked, although it said something about it being "historical data." I should've wrote it down. In any case, I got my contacts in my phone, but maybe this info will help you figure out what the heck I did.

Thanks for all the help again.

Sorry about the doublepost. The window titlebar says, "Cannot Save Phonebook Data" and in the window it says, "You are viewing historical data which cannot be changed or saved." This error came up when I tried to get phone data (the phonebook from the phone...I added an entry I had previously erased). Now I cannot get phonebook data.

Posted by: sxayarath

Forget the two posts ahead...I think I know what I did exactly now.

Under 'Data', I chose 'Historical Data' and chose 'Historical Date.' I then send the phonebook to the 8100 and it worked. I had to change it back to 'Current' under 'Data/Historical Data' in order to retrieve the phonebook from the phone.

Sorry for all the posts. Hope this helps.
