Yes i said it lol.. mp3 player for the lg vx8100 is available to the public now... heres the link to the video if it doesnt work let me know cuz i swear im not lying about this
http://homepage.mac.com/se7encrows/vid.wmv »^^there it is enjoy đ
...
oh yeah and i forgot to mention that since this mp3 player is now going to be enabled through an upgrade you know longer have to rename your files to .mid
if you want the upgrade you have 2 go to the store 2 get it loaded onto your phone and im not sure if every verizon store has it yet.. this one shown in the video came from a florida verizon worker and said that they are giving out the upgrade as of right now.. so hopefully it'll be released everywhere
...
Thanks 4 tha update on that. I know everyone who has this phone will be thrilled! Hopefully the verizon stores in my area get that software update soon!
...
If this is true man did the stock in this phone just go up or what. Woooooohooooo!!! Calling CS in 15 mins to verify.
...
i say everyone reply to this thread after calling their local VZW and report to us if the store has it. So we can all know where this update has been released...
...
im calling my local verizon corporate store right now. newington, CT.
...
at least the guy i talked to knew what he was talking about. and knew what the patch might be fixing. so its just a matter of time. ill just keep calling back every few days or so... keep your fingers crossed. đ
...
Well, thats good news. Any idea what else the upgrade enabled/repaired, such as the volume problem or camera?
...
cool post. I will keep all informed in Cleveland/Ohio, but Like everything else in Ohio we are the last to get everything.
...
No update available in CT or RI, called this morning.
...
I can confirm the no update in CT. I just called a store (Newington, CT) the tech guy said "uh, maybe a week or a month". Basically he knew NOTHING about it, as usual. Verizon does not educate their stores.
I'm going to call another store near me (Meriden). It's where I picked up my phone. The store is run completely by women. It's the most organized, well run Verizon store I've ever been to.
...
i work for a dealer in MN(indirect) My Verizon rep basicly told me the same thing; soon. Has verizon launched its music service in the areas with the update??
...
LOL i just called too... nothing yet âšī¸ he has no idea when they are gonna get it.
...
What I want to know is whether or not that is a VZW update or a good hack? I called my local store here in Rochester NY and they say no way not yet. If that was done at a VZW store then let me have the phone number or the city or the zip. So we can verify ourselves.
...
wow just called manchester, ct. this toolbox had NO idea what was going on
...
I'm betting its a good hack
...
Nothing In PIttsbugh PA
...
I have called 2 stores in my area (Columbus, OH), customer service, and friend in Rochester NY called the store in his area, all the same answer "No, and we dont know when it will be ready"
...
Your link doesn't work, post it again! đ
...
It would be nice if you let us all in on the hack
...
Video?? Yes, but not "and everything" everything would tell us who,what, where,when and for God's sake, HOW!
...
I live in Massachusetts and bought my phone from the Verizon store in Saugus. I just bought my phone today, my phone does not have the MP-3 player. I forgot to ask the salesperson about it and when I mentioned it to the person who rang up my purchase he didn't know anything about it. I couldn't find my salesperson at that time and had already been there for longer than anticipated so I will call her tomorrow about the upgrade, if I find out anything I will post again tomorrow (Friday)
...
Ok, the link didn't work for me...post it again or the right one! đ
...
i live in the midwest and just talked to verizon corporate and my local vw store and they both said due to some delay the update would be released on friday (8-19-05)
...
From now on, if you can't state your exact location don't bother posting because there is no way for us to verify.
...

I called the SD store and talked to a Tech. and He does not know.
...
i called them and they said friday
...
I called the store and they said you are lying about the update.
...
i called the store and they said friday
...
Well why are they telling everyone else that calls that they dont have a clue. So you are royalty, an ambassador, head of state? Why are they only telling you and not the other 30 peeople that are calling? And by the way small buss rider, I didnt call you a liar the guy at the store did. Get your insults straight. Friday comes and the software is out then you are the man.
...
MY store said not released yet but soon.
...
Please don't call this store anymore people. It's obviously a hoax intended to get people all hyped up and also to bombard this poor store with high call volume. "call them i friggen dare ya" is just retarded.
...
bahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! đ¤Ŗ
...
hey it wasnt my idea to call them. i posted something i heard directly from a verizon store. whizzinator is the one who wanted the number so he could call and bug them. ps i have a cousin who has down syndrome so watch the name calling using 'retarded' is just mean hope it makes you feel better about yourself
...
If I was calling your cousin a retard..then by all means take offense. But seeing as I wasn't, you should spend your time policing people actually harrasing your cousin. And forget any apology from me, I don't apologize to people who get people going by posting lies. If this update does apper within the week, I will apologize at that point.
...
where at in the midwest? have a local store number? or what is the zip code.
...
If you called the store # that he provided and they dont have a clue then this is really sad. âšī¸
...
Yes I did. I even wrote the Techs name down.
...
it is sad bc they told me friday!
why the hell would they tell me friday and tell other people 'no clue'? that pisses me off
...
Probably because they made a mistake telling you. Now that the whole world is calling them they now realize that it was a mistake, so they're trying to play it off as if they don't know that way they don't get too much attention.
...
well from me readin on all these forums i read somewhere that even if verizon people know that theres an update comin up or a new phone comin up they're not allowed to discuss it.. even if its coming out the next day or upcoming weeks
...
(I think I posted on wrong thread earlier, so this is a repeat)
I called the Santa Monica store and the tech said there's no update. 2530 Wilshire, 90401, 310-828-1279. Tech said he has the same phone and says you can only play mp3 with SD card. Of course he also wasn't aware of any issues with volume. Who knows. I might try customer service today and see what they say.

I have to agree with quasiosi182 Josh did a great job of cracking the ringtone issue. I'm using his method and it lets you put more ringtones on than you will ever use.

http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/688705-1.html »MEDIA PLAYER
There's a "secret" media player on the 8100 that you can access by pressing "menu", then 0 seven times.
Go to "Get it Now Settings" near the bottom
Again, select "Get it Now" at the bottom of this screen too.
you will see a list of applications on the phone, select "Media Player"
You can play files in your mf directory, so if you put an mp3 in there, you can play it with the Media Player. This is the only way to be able to fast forward through mp3 files on the phone.
Unfortunately, we have not figured out how to be able to read mp3s off the memory card from the special Media Player.
hope it helps

Has anyone tried moving an mp3 file from the "My Flix" folder on the sd card to phone memory, and then trying this?
