I don't know if what you are going to do will
work or make things worse.
Anyway, check your e-mail and good luck.

Made things worse, but thanks for your help anyways. Apparently that file did have to be form a Telus phone. Going to the dealer tomorrow.

I had to try. Oh well.

I had trouble as well, but finally got it to work after I changed my wallpaper (located in Media Gallery). I have I idea why this worked afterwards, but I'm able to backup now.

Try deleting anything uploaded by BREWSKY and see if you can backup.

You've got two options.

1) Pay for them and download them 'over the air'.

2) Get a cable.

Anyone know where i can get this USB Data Cable cheaply?...thnx bonch for the program...haven't used it yet...but i'm sure it's great..

The Radio Shack FutureDial part numbers for the USB cables are:

Audiovox CXDMA8900 - 17-760
LG VX6000 - 17-792

I don't not know why they are listed as separate parts #'s, but I would be willing to bet they have the same specs. And they will order from their main distribution center if not in stock and have it drop-shipped to you for free within 1-2 business days.

Reminds me of that blonde joke, where she prays to God every night that her life is falling apart and that she needs to win the lottery...

Finally, God intervenes and says: "Well, you have to at least meet me half-way and BUY a lottery ticket"....

Thanks, I'll try that next time I re-do my phone.

I just got my cable, connected to Bresky and tried to remove the Verizon banner from the Sub LCD screen. After making the selection from the menu, my phone wants to re-boot. When the phone restarts, nothing has changed. Does anybody know what the problem may be?

If you are talking about the ERI Banner, I think that only applies to changing connect modes such as roaming or home network.

I am hopefully anticipating that there will be an update to manage some of the directory files that are not part of the firmware. I cannot get BitPim to do anything but backup single root directories folders and sub-folders at a time.

-------------

I would also like to know how to enable WAP (Web) mode, as Cricket does not offer it as of yet in my area... although I hear they are market testing in some areas, as well as supposed to have a roaming contract with Cingular by the end of the year!

I'm hoping there is a way to toggle the firmware to enable WAP using the given IP's being tossed around here.

_________

Also... Does "Wireless Address" in the phone book, refer to an IP#, or to another email address or cell number? What is the format?

the problem I am having I believe is a Verizon ERI banner problem. I'm still looking for a solution.

On my Verizon 8900 phone, Brewsky removed my verizon flashing every 5 seconds banner... It's probably the best mod I ever made to this phone. That Banner was the most anoing thing about the phone

when i try to install brewsky i get this error message


Steup unable to create the directory "C:\windows\temp\is-09d6j.tmp"

what should i do?
