LG V VX-9800
bitpim, bluetooth reprise
I’ve tried sorting through the posts on this subject and still don’t have a clear understanding, perhaps you all can help. I would like to get some contacts but most importantly my PCs Outlook calendar into the vx 9800. I have been able to successfully pair the vx9800 with the bluetooth on my PC. I then installed the “vx 9800 compatable” version of bitpim. In the settings menu I chose vx 9800 and com port set to auto detect. Then I would go to the detect phone option in bitpim and received error message no phone detected recognized. I then tried switching com ports manually all to no avail.

I will attempt to speak to some of your questions:
1) Using Bluetooth, you do not need to use "Detect Phone".
2) Yes, using the Tab System of BitPim 0.8.03 is less dangerous than using the File System.
3) Not sure what you speak of with "block writing"; and No to BitFling if only using one computer. But make sure your PC to Phone Bluetooth connection is by way of BT DIAG. This is selected in the BT Configurations as you know. Confirm the vx9800 has PC Connection parked on Bluetooth.
4) My phone does not indicate any visual display with data transfer.
You will see at the bottom of the BitPim Window a "Busy" when data is transferring. When not transferring, it says Ready. Also, at the bottom you should see your phone and the Com Port the...

Thank you for your response. After lots of trial and error, I’ve finally gotten working, probably more user error than anything. Now I start bitpim. Use the calendar function to import Outlook calendar into bitpim. Then Transfer to phone. That seems to work. The only visual indication on the phone I get is that it powers off and then on (reboots?), after transfer completes. But I’m not complaining. Thanks again. 🙂
