LG AX275 BitPim and Data Cable

[Hanh Nguyen]

Can you please show my how to connect my phone to BitPim with data cable. I tried but it couldn't get connected.

I cannot get bitpim to get phone data from my ax275 it does find it however. Also where is brew?

Once Bitpim starts select the Filesystem on the left.
Settings should reflect "other CDMA phones"
Then expand the directory flag in next columm. Bitpim will then browse the phones data structure.
Once complete look carefully at the structure and you'll see the brew directory.
Regards

When I plug my cellphone to the computer, a window "Found New Hardware Wizard" pop up, any ideas?

I joined this forum just to let you guys and gals know how to download MP3 ringtones and pictures to your LG AX275 phone.

The things you need are a data cable and BitPim installed. As previously stated, BitPim recognizes the phone as “Other CDMA” and thats ok. Once the phone is connected to BitPim click on file system – go to brew>media>mp- (this is where your pictures are) you should save your pics first so right click on any file and save to my pics or desktop.

To download a picture to the phone, go back to BitPim -right click on any of the picture files and click overwrite. Explorer will come up, find the path to the picture you want to send to the phone, and that is it. The only thing is that the file name stays the same but no big deal for me.

In order to download MP3’s you use the same overwrite process however you are going to overwrite a recorded voice or recorded audio file, so make sure you have some voice files on the phone to overwrite. If you don’t have any voice files go to Menu>multimedia>record voice on your phone.

Now to add MP3s go back into filesystem in Bitpim go to Brew>media>ms- you should see some voice files right click on one click overwrite and find the path to the ringtone/mp3 you want to download. It takes a few minutes to send it to the phone but it works. After your done go to the phone find you voice files in my media>audio>recorded audio – click options and set it as your ringtone.

I used a resized photo and a mp3 that was cut down about a quarter in size (1mb), so you might want to do that first but I promise all the above works. It is really easy and I hope this works out for everyone. Please reply

Cheer to Rhino77, it works perfectly! Thanks!

if you add tones the way Rhino77 says will you be able to select your own message tones also?

Thank you all for the information I needed BEFORE I got another non-customizable pone!

I have a quick question for an admin though:

Is any of this information documented? If I used my web space to document the info I find here, with screen shots, and drivers available to download, would I get in any sort of trouble with the staff here (for posting the link) or any legal trouble with the manufactures?

Any of the available software for this phone indicates that as far as Media -
the data is read only, meaninig that you can get the data but not write data.
Using the FileSystem Mode of BitPim, camera pictures can be "saved" from the phone your computer. I have a cable and found the pics in the file structure of the phone - under 'brew' 'media' 'mp'.
Right mouse select 'save...' then point to where you wish to save them.
The settings for bitpim and the ax275 is 'other'. Once filesystem is selected the program 'reads' the entire structure.
Did not attempt to get/send phonebook/contacts using this method - but I really don't care about that data.
I don't know if it matters but I do have the phone setup(PC Data Mode) to use RSR232 verses USB Mode.
Works for me - all I wanted was to 'get' the pics so I didn't have to email my life away!!
P.S. You need to install the USB(3) Driver.
http://www.cellphonemall.net/wireles...ata_cables.asp
Select the thrid one "LG3USB".zip. Once installed you will see three responses from the operating system when the phone is plugged-in:
1) LG Modem, 2)LG Serial Comm 3)LG USB connection.
This should help for those of you don't get any response when you plug your phone in.
