LG VX-8100

I am going crazy here i read a post but can not find it anymore bin looking for hours . He said you just shorted your mp3 down and rename it, and use a card reader send it to your phone then use them as ringtones with out a data cable . Can someone help if they read the same pose and does it work and were can i find that post again please 👿

Hey everyone just want to say Brought back my phone for a new one cause i was getting crappy reception . They had no problem giving me a brand new one reception seems to be allot better . Just want to say i really like this phone . My ? IS i might have new software because on my old phone i did not have in the contacts the option to dial #pmt and #min ,#BAL and with the new phone it is there in my contacts i thought it was strange but it seems like everything is working great 😎 i returned and received my new one on 7/26 have not played with anything else but i will see if anything else changed

I need a data cable but I don't wanna pay the damn 30 bucks it costs from verizon so I was thinking e-bay but they are all super generic and all cost like a buck which is nice if they work.. anybody have advice on it or where to get them for cheap if not on ebay?

I just got the BT250V and it has been kind of frustrating. I have both the phone and the headset on the same side of my body and I get some scratchiness and whatnot. Also, If I am asked to answer Yes or No it seems to have problems detecting when I have said Yes. I have trained it through the headset already to see if that helps, and it doesn't really. I really have to say Yes forcefully for it to work. Does anyone have any recommendations for things to try? I also tested recording some stuff in the voice memo to see if the headset was bad, but when I recorded something it came across loud and clear. Thoughts?

😈
hey not sure if anyone posted on this yet but..okay if you have the phone, you know the screensaver with all the people and the verizon guy in the crowd..well if you notice,when you set it as your main screens wallpaper the guy is sideways, when you set it for the cover screen as wallpaper. the verizon guy is turned around looking right at you!!!it creeped me out!

Does anyone know if this phone supports a hands free profile? I switched my headset to Jabra BT250 and to get advanced features, you need the hands free profile.

Like others, I've been having battery problems so I went into a local store here in Brooklyn, NY to check it out. I called first to confirm that they had them for replacement and they said 'Sure we have 'em'.
Of course when I got there the friendly woman in the tech dept. said: 'We haven't seen that phone for 2 weeks! We only got a few of 'em when they came out and haven't gotten any more in'.
She told me to check with inventory today. I called and they told me to try again tomorrow.
Now I'm one of the lucky ones with no volume or bluetooth problems. But this battery thing sucks.
The phone always dies when I leave it for a few hours without using it (almost like it's insulted so it shuts down 😁 ). This happens whether no matter how muc...

i've tried all the usb plugs on my comp, coms 4, 6, and 8, and i can't add any of them to QPST explorer. what can i do?

when i add the port i get "There was an error enabling COM4. The port may not be working or may be busy. (-2147467256)"

Does anyone know if you can set T9 Word as the default style for text messaging?

Thanks!

I came across this article about AAC stuff..

Then wondered what was AAC. Are they file extensions? I found this?

Then I clicked onto the "Make It For Mobile" link...

I'm sooo confused!!! I know I read about 3Gp stuff here. Is this possibly the software to get the MP3 player running? With the buttons? Or am I just another hopeless dreamer!!!!!

😢

i got the vx8000 in feburary, when it first came out. i have no complaints with it. but about two weeks ago i was on my boat and it must have got wet. it started not to say "charge complete" it just says charging for days. the battery last's less then a day. the front buttons don't work anymore, and a couple of other things. my main question is if i can use the insurence to get a new phone, but instead of getting the 8000, get the 8100 instead.


also, how is the phone, did they fix the mp3 player, and overall how good of a phone is it.

thanks

OMG!!!! I am no techno-whiz! I inserted an SD card into my phone. Oh, heck, it may even be upside down!! Now how the @#$% do I get it out???
Thanks!!
Desperately (and stupidly) your 🙂

Ok, I've had this phone for about a week and I am trying to replace all the functionality I had with my previous phone...and thanks to those of you who told us all how to activate the speakerphone.

Another question...is it just me...or can you not hear the ringer or ring tones through the headset/ear piece? I am using the ear buds that came with the phone, so not bluetooth yet. I tried a previous headset that allowed my previous phone to ring in my ear but that didn't work with the 8100 either. Is there a setting I've missed?

Help?

How can I send a picture to my email? I tried going to the picture and then send to my email address and also on my pix but I have not received it yet....

Do I have to send it to vzwpix.com or something like that (anywone no the address) first and then to my home email? 🤣

Thanks for all the assistance.

FYI: I love the 8100 and have been using it for 10 days and it is wonderful. The volume is a bit low but I think it is base on the signal strength you have and also maybe the other side of the call has a bad phone??? 🤭

Hey! First I wanted to thank everyone for their postings on the 8100. I decided to go with it yesterday, and am very happy with the phone. This is my first bluetooth phone, so does anyone have any suggestions on a headset? Seems like everyone has their own preference, but to those who have an 8100 and headset, can you comment on which headset works the best on this particular phone? Also any comments, pros/cons of any other headsets tried with the 8100. Thanks again in advance for your help!

Hi all,

I have been following this thread for weeks...And yet I am caught between E815a nd 8100... 😢 I have a 710 now and so far so good its done well...While my boyfriends have crapped out. So the bottom line is ..Can the 8100 play my music as ringtones...Does anyone know for sure if i cut and edit a song that I can load it as mp3 or wav or whatever and play it back using it as a ringtone.

I am already sold on graphics and speaker and GOD knows Bluetooth it a must... But I need to know about the ringtones...

Some say yes and some say no..Which is it?

Please Help! ☹️

I just recently got my 8100 and the first day I was prety disappointed with it. I too had the problem where it seemed like the sound was going in and out during a call.

What I later discovered was this problem (for me at least) had a lot to do with how I was holding the phone to my ear. I found that if I have the tip of the flip phone at the center of my ear (almost like you are trying to put the phone in your ear), all my calls got very clear. My previous phone was the 4400 and I never had to worry about this before and to be honest it fealt a little weird at first but now I sort of got used to it. When I just hold the tip of the phone to the center of my ear I don't have the problem of increasing/decreasing volumes during a call.

I talked to a LG rep earlier today about the volume fluctuation issue. the problem I was having was minor, just a little annoying. The Lg rep told me to bring the phone into verizon and have them re-load the software. It only took a few minutes and the problem is fixed. Make sure you call ahead of time to confirm that the store you are going to go to has the original software. some stores will ony get the updated version when ever it comes out. hope this help some of you out. it worked for me!

Does anyone know which sd cards are good for this phone?

I dont understand the whole crippled stuff. crippled bluetooth , cripped mp3. what does that mean. is some guy is sitting their at verizon saying 'u kno wat, let me damage this program so it doesnt work, muah ha ha ha ha' is that how it works?
