question: I go to bitpim (newest version) and I click on the ringtones tab. Then i click add+ I find my mp3 ringtone clip that i made and I select that, convert. Then I click Send Data to Phone. and it uploads directly without me having to delete ****. Am I doing that right?
also, how do i check the memory of my tunes section. All I have seen is application memory and contents memory. Which is which, how do i tell the difference? thanks

I would suggest going to windows update and update your machine .. all drivers and updates . Then lets try again and see if your phone will be reconized... Also the drivers are on my ftp ....

ok didnt notice this post ... That only displays for 2 reasons with xp ...

1. You have incorrect drivers

2. You have incorrect cable

and the 2nd reason is almost 99% of the time

does filling up all the phone's memory cause problems?

[Thundaar]

To check the memory in tunes:
click ok
click left twice
hit the right soft button (hit it gently please)

ok mate ..... When you plugged the cable in was a phone on the other end ... If not then you must have a cable with a box or a bubble in it in which you need a cable with a str line in it ... But if you want drivers they are on my ftp

does the vx8000 use a usb to serial cable or a straight one? eg. prolific usb to serial or cp2101 usb to uart bridge controller

Seriously, I'm not computer retarded here. I'm actually a computer programmer for Verizon, but for the life of me I can't get this $400 POS to connect to my god **** computer.

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.
