Top 10 LG CHOCOLATE VX8500 Cellular Phone Questions & Answers

why cant i get my micro sd to show on my phone

Not happening ... Verizon phones run on a CDMA network. Cingular and T Mobile run on GSM ... Sprint although runs on CDMA .. last i heard were making most of their phones hybrid (CDMSA and iDEN ) and verizon phones can in no way shape or form be made a hybrid phone... specially not an LG phone.

Also, with verizon phones, there's nothing to unlock .. they are ESN bound phones meaning only the service provider can say YES or NO weather they'll use it on their network or not. There's no CIM cards

Sorry

This is a great website where i learned a lot about flashing phones from these guys!

Here are the steps I took:

1. Insert the micro sd card with the metal plates facing you (that took me a second). Don't worry about the little push you have to give.
2. Go to the Settings & Tools option in the Menu.
3. Select *. Memory
4. Selct 3. Card Memory
5. Select Options while the bar is on "1. Memory Usage". The only option available to me was 1. Format and select that.
6. It will ask for the phone lock code-if you have never set it IT IS THE LAST 4 DIGITS OF YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER.
7. The phone will format the card and put the file folders on it.
8. Use the adaptor USB reader or whatever you have to connect it to the computer. Copy songs to the my_music folder.

1. You should select the part of the song you like, and can add effects with this:http://www.mptrim.com/
2. To set it as a ringtone, send it as an attachments to you [email protected]. It must be small to go through, around 30 seconds.
   
3. You will get a text message, and select options. Select Save As Ringtone.

Dial #4357*4357 and that should give you the phone information including the phone number.

1. Put a micro SD card into your phone. (Make sure it's blank)
2. Format the card from your phone. To do this go into "Menu//Settings & Tools//Memory//Card Memory" then click on "Options" that should open the format screen. Enter your security code (usually the last four digits of your cell #) and format the card.
3. Exit all menu screens by pressing the "End" button and remove your card.
4. Insert your card back into your PC. It should recognize the card and open a "Removable Disk" window. (if not, manually open this window by clicking on "Start//My Computer//drive E: or F:" , they might vary depending on your computer set-up.
5. You should see a folder named "my_music". That's where you are going to drag your music files into.
6. DO NOT open any media player. Just find the location of your music FILES. Usually if you click on "Start//My Music" your music FILES will be stored there.
7. Simply drag and drop music FILES into the folder that I listed on #5. DO NOT drag an albulm. It won't work. Just the music file.

Very easy....your phone is Cloned....your ex has been in the cell phone field for 10 years or so, he has the know how. Pay attention to this, does your phone ever hang-up on you by itself? Like if you hd press the end button? Or it would ring and no one is at the other end?

Best Solution: Get another phone...tell the VZW rep about this. They might replace for free....because this would show their service/network's enferiority.

Alt. Solution: Find someone with my experience and fight fire with fire. Clonning is a FEDERAL crime!

With the new phone, do not let it out of your possession again. All this person needs is the ESN on the back of your phone, your phone number and the MIN number...and you will be back to square one trying to justify with you currnent man.

Okay, try this. I had the same problem, but I finally found the solution. If you plug up your phone into the computer, and it doesn't pop up with the Hard Drive and Removable Devices, this is what you must do. {{{Settings > USB > Mass Storage}}} Then, plug it up. It should pop up then. Then you can drag and drop music files from your computer to the phone. It's rather simple once you find out what to do.Hope I was able to help guys!
