LG VX-8100
Bitpim and 8100 connection
i got the usb cable off ebay and connected the 8100, 7000, and 6100 but i cant get bitpim to recognize any of them. Is there any special way to do it or any special instructions. THX

Did you download the drivers for the phone on the LG website? I have the 8100 and downloaded the 8000 driver which works fine. I don't know about hte 7000 and 6100 though. And on bitpim go to edit, settings, change phone type to 8100/7000/6100 and browse for the com port (it will see it when you plug in the phone). Then select filesystem tab and that's where you find the ringtones, sounds, etc. I just started playing around with all of this yesterday so I'm new to it too.

i had the lg drivers from the cd, it is the same thing for all newer lg's, and when i plug in the phne and go to browse for com ports it says auto, and doesnt detect anything and theres no file systems tab.

Sorry but that's what I did and it worked. I only tried with the 8100. I selected phone type as 8000, browsed and selected COM4 (LGE CDMA USB serial port) from the list. At first there was no filesystem tab, but I found it under the "view" menu, view filesystem. I read on a thread somewhere that you may want to try opening the bitpim first, then plug in the cable. Don't know if that will help.
...
No problem, sorry I couldn't help more. Maybe someone else will be able to chime in offer some advice too.

I cant seem to find on the LG web site where you can down load the drivers for phones period! Could you please point me in the right direction?

i have used bitpim with a usb cable that i bought on ebay and have downloaded ringtones on all four of the lg phones with the same usb cable the 7000.6100,800, and now the 8100 so i know that it does work with all of those phones you have to keep messing with it
...
I know the 7000 driver works for 8000, but i had to install from CD, and let windows plug n play re-install it as well for it to work... hope that helps.
