LG V VX-9800

Dont know why it didnt post all of it....try again...

Here are the locations for important files on the VX9800:
Brew16452lk --- All uploads go somewhere in here.
mf --- My Flix
mp --- My Pix
ms --- My Sounds
mr --- My Ringtones

right click on the one you want and select new file. (I noticed with BT sometimes it give an error, but if you try a 2nd time it works).

After that is complete go to:

dload --- This contains file size and information about flix/pix/sounds/ringtones

There will be a files very suggestively named, such as: my_ringtone.dat and my_ringtonesize.dat. (These files contain info for the phone on ringtones, so they need to be updated).

Basically delete the corresponding file to the type you entere...

This is from Howard Forums and is from an older version, you no longer need to delete files from the file system. You don't want to mess with the filesystem.

Does anyone know what "My Sounds" does exactly? I used to own an LG 6100, and the sounds you recorded or that came pre-loaded could be assigned as ringtones. It appears that they have no function now, other than being played back (like playing back a voice note you made). Is there an easy way to assign them as ringtones or alarm sounds, etc.?

You CANNOT assign My_Sounds as ringtones, unfortunately. Your exactly right, the only purpose is playing them back like a voice note you made.

The old 6000's would only let you assign a recorded sound as a ring tone if the tone was in your mms inbox or outbox. Take a pic of whatever and add a sound to it. Then send it to a random number but don't let it complete, hang up on it so it fails to send. when it asks you if you want to save to outbox, choose yes. You can then play the tone and save it to the tones place. THEN you can choose that tone as a ring tone.

You cannot do that on the 8100, 9800 or any newer version LG. That option is no longer available on the LG phones.

Is this going to be true of any new phone with the new standard Verizon UI or is it just going to be on LG phones?

Not sure. I assume it will be all, though.

☹️ (sigh)- oh well, looks like I'll be hacking my next phone now (whatever it is).

Actually, I'm using a Bluetooth USB adapter instead of a cable, but if you want to use a cable, you need to get the one that is for the 7000 or 8000. It will work w/ the 9800. There isn't one available specifically for the 9800.

I got an email from LG saying that their 9800 USB cable should be out by the 17th. of Oct...but from what I have been reading Mary is correct and the ones that work with the 8100 should work on the 9800 as well.

o ok thank u both.. I just ran into a problem though with my mini sd card. I added some more music to it and put it back into the phone now when I go to MP3 player the phone shuts off and cuts back on have any of u experienced this problem before??

I recently added some more songs to my mini sd card and when I put it back into the phone and went to the MP3 player the it said initializing and then the phone turned off and turned itself back on...

My mini card is on order, so i cant help you here.

When i load stuff on the mini-sd, i take the battery off so that the phone will reinitialize.
I havent had it do it on it's own, however.
If it only did it once i would expect it was trying to train you. lol

Mary...which Bluetooth USB Adapter do you use?
Do you use it with your laptop or desktop or both? Any problems? Do you recommend the adapter over the cable?
Thanks!
