LG VX-8100

Apparantly this doesnt work. It finally sends pics to other phones/email (.$25 each-RIPOFF), but now if i email a picture to my phone I dont get it. Is there a way to do that? what format does pic have to be in? any help would be appreciated.

just got the phone today...

as far as the mp3 player, the phone will play mp3s, if you have a mini sdcard. simply place the mp3 file in the my sounds directory and rename it *.qcp

i managed to get the phone to play videos converted from my computer, which i wasnt too sure the phone could do.

i am pretty sure that when verizon releases the MOD service, the mp3 player will be downloadable, and we will understand the way the files will be stored on the phone, and card.

today was a very expensive day. full retail on the phone, case/car charger, mini sd card and reader.

I have tried to look at the other threads but keep getting conflicting information. Can someone tell me if you can save MP3's to your phone that you already have on your computer? If not what exactly is the expansion card and the built in 512mb for?

Thanks

okay-
Per my CS rep (who really knew his $h!t), told me that those people who already have the phones aren't getting the full advantage of it until the official roll out. He said, since it was only a soft launch, not all of the features will be working that great. So, if you have the 8100, wait until (what we hope is ) later today for when the phone and all its abilities should be fully functional.

has ANYONE figured out how to transfer your contacts from your existing phone to the 8100??? I've accessed the filesystem to put in ringers, but i CANNOT find where in the filesystem the phonebook is stored!!! Of course, i went into verizon to have them do it, but since its "not released yet" they don't have the "software" to transfer my phonebook from my 7000 to my 8100. Also, the guy said that he guesses that it will be another SIX WEEKS (sorry to spread another rumor...) PLEASE let me know if anyone gets bitpim working (WITH PHONEBOOK, not just filesystem) or if someone figures out how to put in a phonebook using the filesystem.

I recently purchased the Motorola e815, and so far I must say that I am not really all that impressed with it, so I am hoping that they will let me exchange it for this phone, any suggestions on how they might allow me to do this? The main reason I want the 8100 is its supposed to have Driving mode feature which the 6100 has as well, which I hear works rather well.
Any thoughts?

I noticed that you can record 15 second video clips - up to 100 of them!?!?!?! Anyone know if that is just a basic break-down of total time allowed to record video, like can you record 50 - 30 second clips, or is it limited to 15 seconds each? Thanks!

I was reading some FAQ's about the 8100 on Verizon's Website. They're trying to get people to buy a GetItNow application for people to sync their contacts with a computer. Give me a break Verizon. Good thing we can get around that crap.

why are mp3s enabled on the Moto phones (E815, V710) and not on the 8100 ? The fact that Motos play mp3s now doesn't really support everyone's argument that mp3s will come on the 8100 w/MOD. And acc to a vzw rep, MOD is 6 mos away, and I'll bet vzw will try to sell us a new phone at that time rather than enable the 8100. The 8000 didn't have a long shelf life before it was replaced...

To answer my own question, vzw probably limited the 8100 features so it doesn't blow all their other phones out of the water. (They sell 20 different phones for under $100.)Otherwise all vzw customers would buy 8100s, much to the ire of Moto, Samsung, etc...

So Im not holding my breath for vzw to ever turn on mp3s on the 8100, and I hope someone can h...

Haha... 🤣

So, does the VX8100 have a hidden MP3 player?

If not, or if not found yet, will it be EVEN POSSIBLE for people to hack this?
i was looking at www.cellphonehacks.com
and www.howardforums.com

will it EVER be POSSIBLE to play full length MP3's on the VX8100, or never ever ever, unless you pay through MOD?

FYI to all...

No one has said that if they put some MP3s on a miniSD card, and put the card in the 8100, that they could not access (play) those files...

But consider the following...

The 8100 has an expansion slot that accommodates a 512MB miniSD card... this must be to store MP3 music on... So it may already work just fine... Nobody seems to know, yet...

Even if Verizon attempts to lock users into their music download system, it probably will not work... After M.O.D. starts it will only take a couple weeks and we will know exactly how to store the MP3 files on the miniSD card so that they will play properly on the 8100 system...

This is not that hard to figure out, and no matter what Verizon does there will quickly be a hack...
(continues)

Noticed that nobody here has touched this *specific* subject, so i decided to ask.

Any former 7000/8000 owners finding that the data cable (and charger) from the 7000/8000 fits the 8100?

Oh, and if anyone wants to give in put on whether or not i should switch from the 8000 to the 8100, let me know!

I still have a couple of days left to do it..

main thing i don't want to lose is the camera pic quality, power of the speakerphone..

And does the 8100 have a flash? I didn't see one.

Thanks,

😈
got mine today!!went the store and got the last one left before [another shipment is arriving at 6:30pm at liclon town center mall in chicago in case someone is still looking!!]

anyway,this phone is the best!picture res?excellent, and i don't know what some people are talking about but though i probably won't use it that often vcast is OUTSTANDING!! i mean it is a great picture,[you seen sprints sorry excuse??]lots of talk about the mp3 or lack of but..i dunno seems well worth the hundred i spent!!!!! bottom line -get it if you can!!!!!!!! 😁

I am hearing people with both e815 and VX8100 phones complaining about bluetooth audio problems. Which bt device and phone model are board members here using and how well are they working. Might be useful to know which ones work well for others. my info is...

*Moto e815
*Motorola hf820 car speaker
*Works great, can't tell difference when my partner is using it or talking into his cell phone.

*LG VX8100
*Motorola hf820 car speaker
*Works great, my partner can't tell difference whether I amusing it or talking into my cell phone.

Can you answer and end a call without opening the flip on the 8100?

Does anyone know if there are numerous camera settings like on the 8000? I know there's no macro flash and that the screen is crisper on the 8100. Just wondering about whether you have as many options to play around with the settings. Thanks!

How is the battery life on this phone? I currently have the 7000 and that battery will last me 2 days with no problems. Does the 8100 compare or at least last for a full day with no problems. Thanks in advance.

U updated my roaming capabilities via *228 and i can finally use get it now, but i still cant send pictures or recieve them on my phone. Anyone else with this same problem or some help?

Does anybody know when it will be available for corporate plan especially in California.

Thanks

somebody with the phone please tell us if this phone can haev mp3's transferred and utilize the 512mb of memory for this feature.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
