The following is how to put ringtones on your LG VX8550.
USB:
- Install drivers from the Music Essentials Kit or install the VCast Music Manger from here: V CAST Music Manager Download
- Plug the phone in
- Start BitPim - Edit > Settings > Browse. Make sure the 'LGE CDMA USB Serial Port' is the port being used in the com port field.
- Set the phone type to LG-VX8550 - Get Phone Data
- Go to Filesystem (if you don't have the Filesystem link then View > Show Filesystem), expand it, and navigate to /brew/mod/10889/ringtones , right click in the ringtones folder and select "New" - browse to your ringtone and click "ok"
- Restart the phone.
Nothing other than the Filesystem tab will work unless the phone is supported as an option under "phonetype".
Bluetooth:
- This is similar to the above but first you must pair the phone and pc and get the Serial BT DIAG profile to connect one time.
- With widcomm drivers you have "My Bluetooth Places" - go there and double click on the icon representing your phone.
- Double click the BT DIAG icon to connect.
- Take note of the com port that this connection uses (right click on the BT DIAG icon to see the port).
- Use this in the com port field in BitPim
- Follow the instructions for USB.
If you have some other Bluetooth drivers the process should be similar.
