Tutorial: How to put mp3 rintones on your LG VX6000 for dummies!

[ACtotheP]

Ok, i'm using the LG 4500, the newest version of BitPim, and am only having one problem.....I can get pics on there fine, no problem, phone book synchronizes etc. When I cut an mp3 and follow the walkthrough, everything works fine, the file size is 255k, but when I go to BitPim and click add ringtone, it won't show my file. the file type is set to "ringtone files" and it wont recognize my mp3....I tried to drag and drop and got any error? Anybody else have this problem/know a solution?
Thanks.

I couldnt wait 3 days for the cable so i went out and paid $40 at the verizon store for the data cable with all the drivers and stuff. After about an hour of fiddling, I loaded it succesfully on the computer and was able to mess with my phonebook with QuickLink Mobile Phone. However I can't get BitPim to connect to my phone. Everytime I try to upload an mp3 I get this error message:

LG-VX6000 on COM1: The phone is not responding while transitioning mode from none to brew.

I have no idea what that means or how to fix it. Help please.

I had the same problem, make sure you have the drivers for the phone, shoud have came with the cable, now if you loaded the drivers successfully then go to your device manager and see if the LG USB DRIVER is there, if it is and you see an exclamation (yellow) point then right click on it and click on update driver and if the yellow exclamation point dissappears your good to go. Also Im assuming your using bitpim go into the settings and mnake sure everything is right, either com port 1 or like me I have mine set for auto so it detects it itself. also make sure you phone is in there as well. If you get stuck just drop me a email

Ok i admit im a dummy! I tried it all step by step with my LGvx6000 from verizon when i go to my phone to listen to the file i get no sound help please what am i doing wrong?

[My LGVX6000]

Just out of curiosity I have been through 3 VX6000 phones thinking the speaker was messed up... its just the sounds unless the volume is ALL the way down, sound like crap with music tones.. Why even do the tones? The voices sound ok, but music sucks Was told by verizon that they will be changing all of this in june when they get their new phones with the speakers like nextel.

i got a cable for the 6000 but everytime i try and send a mp3 to my phone i get Failded to auto-dectect the prot to use. I couldn' t detect any candidate ports. what does this mean?

[[OT]Blade]

which cable on ebay now is worth getting/will work

[ynggun21]

Any USB Data Cable which comes with the driver cd and is for a VX6000...providing your phone is a VX6000 if it isn't then get one that is for you phone.

everytime i try to send the mp3 to the phone bitpim says an unexpected exception has occured. what does this mean?

[justin18]

an error message comes up when i try to put an mp3 on my lg6000. it says the phone is not responding on port com5 and it says something else about the lg4400 even though i supposedly downloaded the version for the 6000.

[pphat69]

i followed all the steps but it does not seem to work for me.... i keep getting this error message from BitPim:

An unexpected exception has occurred.
Please see the help for details on what to do.
