The USB cable had to be installed very odd but it works and is installed correctly. I have the phone set on mass storage but, windows does not see the phone?

I just got my data cable & stereo headset "kit" from cingular an hour ago. 🙂

Indeed, the data cable does NOT see the phone's memory in mass storage mode. It will ONLY see the microSD card if it is inserted (I tried both ways - with & w/o uSD). 🙄

Another ANNOYANCE with this data cable is - it WON'T charge the phone. 😡 USB has 500 mA of 5.0V available - more than enough to charge this phones 3.7V battery. I can't imagine why LG wouldn't take advantage of this capability - especially since this cable occupies the same connector the charger would hook up to. ☚ī¸ So you can't use the data cable and AC power simultaneously.


As long as I'm complaining..... the headphones are not particularly nice either. Sound quality is OK,...

As long as I'm complaining..... the headphones are not particularly nice either. Sound quality is OK, but the volume level is much too low, even when the output from the phone is maxed.


SORRY... I STAND CORRECTED !!!

There is an inline volume control on the stereo headset. Mine was set below maximum.

When set at MAX, the volume from the phone is adequate - perhaps not as loud as SOME of you headbangers would like 😉

This means you don't have the correct USB cable. If it has a "box" somewhere on the cable, it will not work as a data cable. The one Cingular sells is a straight cable without anything on it...

This thread at the Cingular forums contains a claim that someone got one off eBay for $10:

I got a USB cable from this company but it is described as charger/usb cable. Well, the charger does not work but the data works.
