LG V VX-9800

Let me reiterate:

I tried the methods on hawardforums, which suggest selecting the 8100, but this did NOT work.

I cannot find the USB drivers.

Currently BitPim does not see the 9800 phone, therefore you DO NOT NEED any drivers for it. Just plug your USB cable in, plug your phone into the cable, run BitPim, make sure the settings are for your USB cable and correct COM port are set in BitPim's setting section, under the VIEW menu make sure the View File System is checkmarked, and then on your tabs select Filesytem...you should see a little ..+-/ symbol...click on it and it should expand to show your phones files...the rest is on Howards on how to make changes.

Ok, did this work for you or anyone? I am looking for confirmation that anyone has been able to personally load ringtones.

I have put ringtones on my 9800.So far it will only take up to 10 ringers.You do not have to rename them to midi you can load mp3's on there.How far are you getting?can you even see the file system?are you using bitpim 0.7.37?Give me somemore details and I will try and talk you through it step by step.If you want you can hit me up on my 9800 at [email protected]

Ok Spidey here we go.I made it to my lap top and I will try and tell you step by step.

1.First plug in your phone
2.Hit the filesystems tab at the top.
3.Hit the + symbol and open the phones file system.
4.go down to brew and hit the + symbol.
5.Hit the + on 16452
6.hit the + on lk
7.You will see a file called mr this is the one you want.
8.Right click on the mr file and select new file.
9.point to the mp3 you want to load.
10.you will see the file loading by the green bar on the bottom of the page.
11.I find that 2 tones at a time is about the limit.
12.after the files have loaded go down to the dload file and hit +
13.Find the my_ringtone.dat and the my_ringtonesize.dat
14.Right click on both of the files and delete them...

here's my problem, I plug in the phone, winxp tries to install the phone as a cdma modem, I don't have the drivers, so I click cancel. Then I load bitpim, and no matter how I set the settings, when I click on filesystems and then the +, I get the following error message:

21:01:21.569 auto: Auto detected port requested
21:01:21.865 Error: Failed to automatically detect port
Failed to auto-detect the port to use. I couldn't detect any candidate ports

I have tried different USB ports to no avail.

Spidey I see your problem.I have tried to point you to the link for thre LGUSB modum driver ver.4.5 butt thry all point to the LG web site that is not working.You will need this driver for your PC to see the phone.The driver is not really for the phone it is for the cable.
Let me know and I will be more than happy to email it to you when I get to the office in the morning.I am in NC so if you would like to call me you can at 919-557-0008. Or just shoot me your email at [email protected] and I can send it to you.You will need that driver for the cable in order to do the ring tone thing.Sorry I should have made that #1 on the list.I will have to edit it.

This is the problem I've had since day one and couldn't get a response to, check your email, and THANK YOU!!!

Spidey...I sent you that driver you where looking for so check your email.Let me know if you need anything else.You can always get me on my mobile or my mobile [email protected]..

Good luck

I got it working (THANK YOU!!!!)

Mine will only hold about 23 rings, there seems to be a limit. I tend to truncate mine more, they tend to be between 15 and 20 seconds long only, which may be why I am able to hold more. So maybe it is a time limit total on rings?

That is a good point...never thought of that.Maybe I should cut some of the down a bit.

Well I am glad to see you got it working.

Let me know if I can help with anything else

Hey LGphoneman, could I get a copy of those drivers too ? 🙂

email: [email protected] and [email protected]

Thanks a ton man!!

Rahul...I am away from my laptop right now but check out this link.One of the guys was nice enough to host the drivers on his web space.Look about halfway down on the page for the link labled LG DRIVERS

Thanks for the info, but you can make changes also to your Pictures and Flix using this method.

Also I have uploaded 10+ ringtones at one time without trouble.

Finally I currently have 25 ringtones on my phone. I think the limit is only due to the 3MBs of ringtone limit the phone has.

Ive followed them to the letter and they work perfectly as far as transfer is concerned.

I did a test by pulling off a purchased ringtone, deleting it from the phone and then reloading it from my pc. This works perfectly. It wont work with the midi I created though.

Interestingly enough - the .mid file I created will play on my pc through WMP or Audacity but the purchased ringtone wont play on the pc (Gives an error code and states unplayable.)

The transfer works perfectly - your instructions are dead on...somethings just going wrong when I create the .mid from audacity and I havent been able to figure that out.

Speedster...try forgetting about the .mid files and just load a mp3 insted.Keep the file shorter than 30 seconds witch I think is plenty for a ring tone.Do a google for a good mp3 cutter and make your own.With all the CD's I have, Ive got an endless supply of ringtones.Sure beats buying them too.If you want I can send a bunch and you can try them out.Just let me know where to send them.

Hey man,

I actually wouldnt mind one or two from you to see if that is my problem.

Its frustrating because the only one I really want is a 8 second recording from disney world that I have originally in .wav format and converted to .mp3 with Audacity which is pretty solid for freeware.

Im wondering if I sent you that wav maybe your transfer to mp3 would work better than mine?

Thanks for your time...

Lets try it ...send it my way

Here is a free MP3 editor...

Hey Josh -

Thanks for the link - Ive already been using Audacity from the original instructions - it seems like a good program but maybe thats part of my problem.

Files sent - Thanks man!

Hey LGphoneman - I forgot to mention, the files I sent all play on my pc regardless of file type - just not on the phone - Thanks!

Speedster...I got it working. 😁 What I did was drop the bitrate to 128 and took out the loop.Most new cell phones have this looping feature built in the software to repeat the ringtone until the phone is answerd...well anyway check your email and enjoy!! 😎

1. Select the MP3 that you want onto your phone.
2. Open Sound Forge 7.0
3. Go to “File”
4. Select “Open”
5. Navigate to your MP3
6. Press “Open”
7. Sound Forge will open a 2 bar line display of lines going up and down.
8. Bring your mouse to the black line in between the 2 bars.
9. Locate the start point of where you want the mp3 clip to start.
10. Click on the start point of the clip and drag right around 30-60seconds depending on what you want.
11. Be careful not to drag over more than 80 seconds of MP3 music, because that MAY compromise your phones internal integrity. 60sec’s should be the most.
12. Verify that both sections of the music are highlighted. (It should take up all of the display area.
13. Press “Play” to prev...

a lil late but this process and bit rates make a 30 sec ringer about 120k... and with the 9800 having 2mb of memory for ringers.. you can fit quite a few in there.

Your only about 3 weeks late on this one bud 🤣 🤣 🤣

yeah but stupidity seems to be never ending..

and adressing his issue... the 128k only makes the ringer take up more space.

Oh and Fyi..

uploading dvd's is possilbe with out a card 🤣

Yes...I know 🤭
