Is there a way to expand the # of Contacts in a GROUP?
this is the first LG phone i've bought, and i am satisfied overall. Great looks, brains and athleticism.
however, i can only add a maximum of 10 phone numbers in a Group (under Contacts). that means that you can have only 10 Contact numbers under, say, "Friends". For a phone that can potentially hold 1000 Contact names, this is ridiculous.
i've talked to Verizon second tier tech support, and I've been told that all ...
is there an upgrade coming?
i read earlier that there might be an upgrade to fix some of the glitches before the phone is released at the stores. can someone clarify? if so, when?
Can I play music from other than VCast?
I just downloaded quite a few songs from Walmart via Windows Media Player. I have transferred the songs onto my transflash, but it fails to "acquire license". This seems to prevent the phone from playing the songs.
Is there a way to play music on this Verizon phone other than from the VCast site? PLEASE HELP!
USB Drivers???
i'm having trouble initializing my phone with the MPT. i just updated the MPT to 3.25b version. someone suggested that i also needed a USB driver. can someone help?
Re: Mobile Phone Tools 3???
i'm having the same problem. i upgraded to the latest version 3.25b. but where do i get the USB driver? how does this work?
Re: Mobile Phone Tools 3???
HELP? i'm experiencing the same problem. the MPT program won't initialize. i updated to 3.25b. but where do i get the USB driver? can someone help?
Re: Im new to this phone...so dont laugh...WHAT ARE SEEM EDITS???
wow thanks. this basic Seem explanation just simplified so much confusion. i switched from a PDA phone and all these functions that need to be hacked on regular phones are all basic functions of a PDA phone. and i'm still in progress to work out some "basic" needs, i.e. PC sync and MP3 on a phone. i still switched since regular phones with its obvious size and phone-first benefits (and others) outweighed the PDA phone, ...
Re: Got em but can't save as ringtones
this happened to me too. i got them to save by: playing the attachment MP3 file. while playing the music file, hit the menu button and it'll give an option to save. hit save, then it'll give an option to just store or apply as ringtone.
btw, i didn't know sending to mynumber@vzwpix.com was costing me 25 cents. so i am charged this fee when i receive emails in my phone?
Re: Love the 815 but found a few serious Bugs
i agree with the maximum battery specs. it's worse than my PDA phone that i had.
Re: A POSSIBLE FIX FOR EARPIECE ISSUE!!!! MUST LOOK!!!!
thanks guys. i think this worked for me too. i kept typing in the audio levels in the "SUCCESS" page where nothing happened. the earpiece volume seems a bit louder, though anything over level 4 breaks up a bit.

You can't have it all kids!!!! Remember, this is a PHONE!! Just be thankful of the little benefits thrown in that you can play with. :wink:
if you're in mojave desert, maybe you should be thankful if your phone "just" works. sheesh.
Re: A POSSIBLE FIX FOR EARPIECE ISSUE!!!! MUST LOOK!!!!
i confer with grdella's question. after i get "SUCCESS" i typed in all 5*0*0, 5*0*1, so. nothing happens. i'm not sure what it means to "set audio level". Do i actually type this in too or is it a physical function? i tried hitting the volume up button. also, tried typing the actual text. can someone explain?
Re: SCREEN SAVER???
i traded in my 8100 for the moto 815. someone may be concerned about a screen saver, but i couldn't work with the 8100 since that phone didn't have a working MP3 player, nor could it PC sync, nor did it allow the full usage of 512MB that it was touting on. only 27MB was actually available to the user. 512 is apparently shared memory.
i do have to admit the 8100 is a great phone otherwise. ...
Re: A POSSIBLE FIX FOR EARPIECE ISSUE!!!! MUST LOOK!!!!
disregard my last question. i figured how to get back to the "SUCCESS" part. then what? what do i actually type in?
5*0*0 set audio level
do i type in the numbers the "set audio level" as text? i know sounds dumb :?
Re: A POSSIBLE FIX FOR EARPIECE ISSUE!!!! MUST LOOK!!!!
i may be on the same page. i got to the "SUCCESS" part. didn't actually set the audio control, just typed in the numbers. i'm trying to do it again, and it's only taking me to the Mobile Web. do i have to hit the + signs? if so, can someone tell me where it is? i must be blind. thanks
Re: Location?
thanks. good to know. that explains why some of the functions auto knew my zip. i guess it's privacy vs. convenience.
Re: Built -in MP3 Player ????
skorpyo31 said:
True, very true. However, it is convenient to have two or three items in one, rather than carrying around an MP3 player, camera, and phone. There should be a higher MB Transflash card available soon. Actually battery life is pretty decent on this phone.
i agree. the reason why i went with the LG 8100 first, then switched to 815 is the convergence capabilities. i'm not expecting 10gigs of music on internal memory.
Re: Transflash
sounds like a good call. i did this "upgrade" on my SD cards for my PDA phone previously three different times.
815 Mobile Phone Tools???
i know this has may been discussed before. but can someone explain whether Mobile Phone Tools 3.0 is the right tools (CD and cable) to PC sync my contacts/calendar from OUTLOOK and the phone? there's been previous threads on the VZW issued Mobile Office Kit, but there seems to be talk that it doesn't work right. if the third party MPK is the right tool, can i just install the CD and be able to sync ...
Re: MP3 Ringtones
that also happened to me when i tried to send multiple ringtones in one email. i tried individual ringtones under one email, and while the song was playing i chose save file. it worked. it gave me a choice to just save it or apply it as a ringtone. then go to the ringtones under media gallery > sounds. thanks for the tip.
Re: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (MOK/MPT)
is the HoFo step by step for basic PC syncing the contacts/calendar? i thought that was to further manipulate multimedia files. isn't the MPT supposed to work to without installing PST_7.1.1? or do have to? confused. can someone explain?
Re: Transflash
i've tried calling around several online stores and brick and mortars. they all seem to be out for the 512. some are expecting them sometime in august. it may be that Sandisk just released the 512. what to do. the 256 now or 512 a month from now?
Re: Does the E815 have stereo speakers like the 8100
first, as i've mentioned, there is no MP3 capabilities on the 8100. the outside "play" >>
Re: Does the E815 have stereo speakers like the 8100
the stereo speakers on the 8100 is amazing, but what's the point if you can't play MP3s. unless you really like VCast programs, which is not big with me, i'm trading in my 8100 for the e815. very disappointed with the 8100. had it for four days.
Re: external screen
i agree that the MP3 makes up for it. i currently have the 8100 and the external display is no biggie.
Re: Built -in MP3 Player ????
wow thanks. that's the most concrete info i got on the MP3 player on 815. i'am assuming that you can create playlists and have songs playing on auto without having to hit play on every next song.
ok now i'm gonna convert to the 815, even if there are some rumored inferiority to the 8100. i don't care how good the surround sound is on the 8100 if you can't really transfer and play music ...
Re: Built -in MP3 Player ????
thanks guys. i'll take your word for it. i just went to check out the phone, but there really isn't a music player that i can see. Do i use the "Media Gallery" under the "sounds" function? or does the music player pop up when i have music files on the transflash card. i think i will trade in my 8100 to the e815. i thought i would never say that. ...
Built -in MP3 Player ????
this may have already been hashed out, but...
i just bought the 8100 and now i'm thinking of trading it in for the e815. the 8100 does not currently have an MP3 player built in. can anyone verify that you can transfer MP3 files onto the Transflash card and play music on the e815? is transferring files to the phone user-friendly? i don't wanna to be duped again, like the 8100.
thanks in advance.
Re: 15 day trial
i'm going the opposite direction. i bought the 8100 and now i'm thinking of trading it in for the e815. the 8100 does not currently have an MP3 player built. can anyone verify that you can transfer MP3 files onto the Transflash card and play music on the e815? i don't wanna to be duped again, like the 8100.
Re: PC sync with OUTLOOK
thanks. been doing more research on the MPT. it seems like it's only somewhat successful at syncing contacts/calendar. have anybody tried this? any other software that you might suggest?
PC sync with OUTLOOK
hey guys,
i'm thinking of switching over to the e815. i just bought the LG 8100 and there is no MP3 or PC syncing on it. does the e815 have the capability of syncing OUTLOOK contacts/calendar? this may have already come up, but i'm new on this forum. i've heard of the MPT. does this sync it with OUTLOOK or its own contact list? does it come with the phone package or as a ...
PC sync with Outlook
a VZW told me that the yet to be released Mobile Office Kit for the 8100 will be provided with a USB cable and CD that will sync contacts/calendar with the Outlook on the comp. does anyone know if this is true? and if so, when will the Kit be available?
Re: 8100 Sounds added
Impatient1 said:
I provided a link to the instructions in the above thread. and I haven't tried the mini SD card yet... anyway... the link is to do the ringtones. good luck
oops. thanks for info. are the ringtones synonymous with MP3 in terms of the way they are saved into the phone? it seems like people are talking about them as if they were the same. sorry guys, had a PDA phone before and trying ...
Re: 8100 Sounds added
can you explain how you access /brew/16452/ms directory? i'm assuming you used a usb cable. also, have you tried saving MP3s in the miniSD? the 27MB internal memory seems too limited for any substantial amount of music files.
Re: WORKING MP3 PLAYER FOUND ON VX800, VX8100 TOO!?
i talked to a VZW rep (i don't know how reliable this is) who said that you have to load the music on the miniSD card from a PC slot for the card. there's no way to transfer the MP3 files otherwise. not sure if that's true with the BITPIM. i just got the new 8100 but no cable yet. i bought a miniSD as well. will need to buy other accessories to try ...
Re: ALAOLACOLA
can someone explain this further? has anyone tried this on the 8100? i got my 8100 over the weekend, but no one from VZW seems to know about the MP3 player. there is currently no way to play any music on this. i also bought a miniSD card. how do i transfer files onto to the phone/miniSD card?
HELP! on the 8100. this phone cannot play MP3 files
sorry guys, i've posted this MP3 issue on other threads but i'm desparate. i just bought my 8100 yesterday. however, i just found out that you cannot play any music on this phone since there isn't a MEDIA PLAYER application installed on this phone. talked to several VZW reps, and some are in the dark. one talkd to LG and said that the application is in the works and they have no idea when this ...
Re: mp3's - summary?
at this point, you cannot play any music files. i just bought mine yesterday, and talked to several reps and there is no music application that can play any types of music. that means you cannot even transfer files onto the miniSD and play music. there is no player. ugh. anybody on the inside know about this application upgrade?
Re: I JUST GOT MY 8100 yesterday. it's a neutered phone right now.
the GET IT NOW memory info says that there's only 27MB. I just talked to the 611 rep, and she confirmed after talking to LG that there is no Media Player application on the 8100 that can play MP3s. So currently, YOU CANNOT PLAY MUSIC on this phone. this is aside from the MOD that's supposed to come out months from now.
i had also bought MiniSD card to see if a media application might ...
I JUST GOT MY 8100 yesterday. it's a neutered phone right now.
i just got mine yesterday. but it's giving me more disappointment. it only gives you 32MB of memory, not 512MB. it doesn't even have options to transfer MP3 files from the PC, let alone play them. there's not even a USB cable that comes with this $200 gadget. what's up with all this.
it almost seems like, VZW disables and changed the specs until the MOD service comes online. at this point, ...
