VX 8100 Question.

When I download the mp3's to my 8100 they go into my sounds folder rather than my ringtones folder. and you cant set my sounds as ringers so is there any way to get them into my ringtones folder or set them as a ringer? thanks

yes, you have to save'em to your computer then send it via data cable to your phone, i suggest you use bitpim, it makes it easier

also, don't try and use an entire mp3 for a ringtone as after 4 or 5 rings, it automatically goes to voicemail anyway.

Get a program like Audacity, or find a site that offers free ringtones and download and use them instead.

you said to transfer from computer to phone with a usb cable and all that and i did that and it still went to my sounds i can use the whole mp3 player for my songs i transfered but for the life of me i cant get it to become a ringtone do i have to sync them to like ringers or what???

If someone could leave maybe step by step instrucions on how you did it that would be awesome or any help at all

anything in the sounds folder cannot be used as a ringtone.
the best way to get them on the phone is with QPST (google and download)
once in QPST and you can see the file system.
delete my_ringtone.dat and my_ringtonessize.dat
then put add ringtones to the following folder.
brew/16452/lk/mr
then reboot phone.
if you have any problems just ask in here.

hey everyone--
thanks for your help! & Thank you, Teamneon, for the step by step instructions! This forum seems packed w/knowledgable people.
I just got the VX8300 a couple days ago and this thread really helped me to make my own ringtone. I couldn't find QPST anywhere and used BitPim instead, following Teamneon's instructions, which worked just fine.

Hey guys, I'm trying this stes with my VX8300, hopefully they are the same. question is, I can't get qpst to recognize the phone, im using the verizon usb cable, is that a problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated

edit: Nevermind, just had to add the com port for the usb port it was plugged into, works like a charm

HI All,

I transfered from computer to phone with a Bluetooth and all the ringtone no more display on MY LG8100 phone only default ringtone. After I reset a phone My phone firm ware is Ver. 7.0

Please advice.

Thanks
