LG VX-8100

I notice the buttons on front. It seams that you can skip forward and backwards between songs. Can you search through songs? Can you create play lists? Can you sync it with Windows Media Player? Basically, how well does it work as an mp3 player.
Thanks for your help!

I switched to the 9800 and so far love it. I have a 2 month old vx8100, if anyone's interested contact me off of the forum. my email's on my profile.

I bought the vx8000 when it came out because I thought it was going to be like this phone, but it wasn't. Anyway it did come with some very nice stereo headphones that you can plug in and listen to mp3's and also use as a hands free device on the 8100. Maybe you can buy these as a seperate accessory or something, but they are very nice!

will verizon just give me a new phone if I walk in telling them my phone just makes static instead of a ring?

will I get a refurbished or new ?

thanks

I have had the 8100 since the first day I could get it in my area, but my curiousity of the a950 finally got the best of me yesterday and I went and bought it. I just had to at least try it out. Well, long story short, I am now using my 8100 again.

As far as BT and reception on the a950-I didn't notice any difference in reception, but then again I never had reception problems with my 8100. As far as BT-I like the fact that on the 950 you only had to say "call Amy home" and it would call vs. "Call Someone" "Amy" "Home" "YES", etc. on the 8100, BUT, when I pressed my headset to start this process with the 950 there was a huge delay before I was even able to make the command.

Battery-well, I didn't use it long enough to test this out, b...

Anyone know when??? Have more problems with version 04 then version 01. Now have vol and BTproblems. Never had that that with Version 01. VZW sucks!! 😡 😡 😡

Wondering if anyone has noticed any difference in mobile web speed between the Motorola e815 and the LG vx8100? Is one faster than the other?

I recently bought a new lg vx8100, but i purchased it separately from my charger. I just received my charger today, but for some reason, i don't think my phone is charging. There aren't any lights coming up or anything, and the phone won't turn on. I don't know if this is of any significance, but i drained the battery all the way because i wasn't able to charge my phone. Is there a problem with my charger, or is it the battery or phone itself?
Thanks in advanced.

So, I had the 7000, and with that you could send pix messages to the phone with a midi file attached and use it as a ringtone. Now, I realized too late that this cannot be done with this phone. PLEASE tell me there is a way to do this cuz the ringtones that are available are not what i am looking for. Please help!!

I think i put to many ringtones on my phone, when i go into them my phone restarts. Anyway to take some off???? (i was using bitpim to put them on)

Has anyone tried this headset? If so, please post review.

Have been reading on a few threads here that Verizon has disabled the ability to use voice memos as ringtones, in other words, record someone's voice and use it as a ringer. This is not really true. While you can't do it easily right from the phone, if you have a mini sd card and a reader, it can be done. Just did it.

Record your memo, and then move it to the card under the Options menu. Once on the card, put the card in your reader and it will show up under My Sounds. Not using the data cable and BITPIM, add a ringer and choose the file from your card reader. It will show up as a QCP file (or at least it did on my system) and then download the ringer to your phone. I personally don't like having someone's voice as a ringer, but there are...

Can anyone tell me where they purchased their 2.5mm > 3.5mm jack adapter? I have gone to Walmart, Circuit City, Best Buy, Target, and Radio Shack. The only one that had it was Radio Shack and I was told it would probably only come out one side of the speakers due to the placement of the rings on the jack. I purchased a FM Modulator (trasmitter) and am dying to use it but can't until I get the adapter. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I was wondering since this phone can take sd memory, can it play videos. If so what format.

Ok i work for a verizon sub-contactor. I have sprint service, lol, and there customer service is the worst i ever dealt with, however the plan i have i cannot beat and i wanna stay with it. Ive been told i can unlock an 8100 and then put it on my sprint plan. What do i need to do to do this? Ive been to cellphonehacks.com but couldnt really find nice people to walk me through the whole process. All help is very very much appreciated.

Don't yell at me for not lookin around cuzz i did.
But is there any way to get the mp3 player to work without a card? i had the 8000 and could save it onto the phone. I can't find a mini sd card cuzz all the stores around me are sold out so if someone can tell me how please help me out
thanks

This phone IS up on infocenter, and they list the price for the phone. The full retail price is $439.99, 1 year is $249 and a 2 year is $199. I think those nifty verizon people said this comes with a 50 dollar mail in rebate also, but the infocenter does not list mail in rebates. I still think it is so freakin stupid that you can't get the ring tones you want... ggrr...

Ok, so i have seen and played with the new nokia, i have messed around with the 9800, looked at the sam 970 and 950 and i have to admit that i am actually content with a headset for once in my life! i might actually keep my 8100 for more than 6 months and that would be the first time in 3 years!
BEST PHONE EVER!
don't care what anyone says, i have used and sold a lot of phones and this is the nicest i have ever carried!
just sharing my opinion

LG stands for LUCKY GOLDSTAR. The name used to be just Goldstar but they added Lucky and now I believe they are trying to change it to "Lifes Good" Shocked? You remember Goldstar. That brand in Ames, Kmart, Hills, Gold Circle, Wal Mart and the rest of the so called discount dept stores. The TVs that we all walked by laughing at that used to cost 13 cents...a nickel with the mail in rebate. The VCR's that were a quarter after the 9 cent rebate. Remember how we used to walk by all high and mighty laughing with our friends saying..."Who actually buys that crap?" as we went to the Sony and Hitachi shelf. Now look at us all sporting Goldstar phones on our hips and bragging about it. Oh how the times have changed. 😁
