How to add ringtones to LG Venus

Does anybody know any way to add ringtones from a computer to the LG Venus? I tried BitPim but it doesn't recognize my phone

Same here man ... I tried everything .. even tried dat SMS trick.. Styll does not work...

ya i just got a Venus yesterday, and its pretty sick. Ive been having problems with adding ringtones to mine too. Even bitpim hasnt worked, every time i try to add the ringtone it says " the phone is not responding while transitioning mode from none to brew" any help would be appreciated.

ahh darn, i need help too lol. iam able to connect it and it detects it, but it cant get data infor or send phone data infor...

My girlfriend has the Venus and she cant get the data cable to work to get her ringtones on there.

You need to make your tune smaller file size to play these as ringtones,
some phones block bigger files so that you can't play them as ringtones. On my phone I cut the mp3 files into 30 second clips.

I have a Venus, and the fastest way I've found to get ringtones is to email them to your cell phone as an attachment. Assuming you have Verizon (I don't think the phone is available with anyone else) send an email to your ten digit number ATvzwpixDOTcom (example, if your number is (640)123-4567, then your phone's email address is 6401234567ATvzwpixDOTcom). It works for pictures too, if you want to send a pic to your phone to use as a background image.

this was the best answer and worked for me, thanks

You can use phonezoo.com. Its free to sign up and its extremely easy. You upload the files you want as ringtones then pick a thrity second clip. After that it sends the file to your phone via pic message and all you have to do is save it. Hope this helps!!

I'm not sure about using the data cable..I can use mine for music only. It doesnt want to work to upload photos and things like that. I wouldn't expect anything less from verizon.

here have been times when I wanted to transfer pictures in my PC to my cell phone. I have a nice digital camera and have shot some really cool pictures. So I did not bother to pick up a cell phone with a camera. Now when I want to set some of my pictures as wallpaper in my cell phone it is not possible. That is when I bumped on this site, Funmo.com. This site allows me to choose pictures/ringtones from my PC and transfer it to my cell phone. I cannot just transfer pictures but also add a dozen different effects to them, add captions and have it sent across to my cell phone. Isn’t that really cool?

You can do all that with GIMP and a USB cable or SD reader.

i use funformobile.com u can make your own ringtones or search for others......they send to your phone via text

Old thread, I know, but I didn't see this mentioned here. Just create a free account at https://picture.vzw.com and upload your pictures and tones there. From that site you can send them to any VZW phone.

I know this is an old thread, but I just recently got the Venus after having issues with the Dare and having to replace it about 4 or 5 times. But I was having issues too, but then used the CD that came with the phone and downloaded the Rhapsody (which is free unless you are using it as a media player, but it makes transfering music and pictures eaiser), but other suggestions listed here help too. there are plenty of things that you can do. if you have internet web sites that send sounds/ringtones/pictures to your phone via text are easy.
If you have a card and a card reader you can just copy music and or ringtones from your computer right onto the card. When you do it this way (with Verizon at least) you have to send the SOUND via text message to yourself and save it as a RINGTONE or you cannot use it as a ringtone.

Hope it helps!

How were you able to save it as a ringtone? I tried doing this and all it did was save it as a SOUND file.
