Lg Dare bitpim

Just got the Dare from Verizon. I LOVE IT

Only thing that sucks is i cant do anything with it on bitpim, because it keeps saying "file system is locked by service provider."

Anybody know when bitpim will support this phone?

I really miss my free nav, and all my ringtones

havent heard that error before. what phone are you setting it to in bitpim?

I've heard that the phone will automatically become "locked" after activation, but you may access the file system through bitpim before activating it.

Pit pim found it and called it unknown cdma phone.
It let me look through all the files system and whatnot, but i could not change anything.

Think i should try to manually set it as like a venus or voyager?

if thats the case i'm f-ed. I got phone in store so it came activated. I bet through web it would come not activated then you do it when you get it.

I know i had no problem accessing the venus and voyager i had.

You can use it with Bitpim... make sure you've set the phone to LG-VX9100 in the settings tab... then use the filesystem (tree) and go to BREW>10899>ringtones

If it still says denied, check back in the settings thats its set on LG-VX9100, sometimes after you open the filetree, it reverts back to a different setting. You should not get the access denied now.

Ummm i do not even see that phone as an option. I have bit pim version 1.0.5

The only "9's" there are, is vx9900, vx9800 and vx9400.

I just tried 9900 and got same message. I'll try the other "9's" and maybe also the vx10000

Ok, figured somthing out accidentaly. I right clicked on 10889, instead of ringtones, and clicked add file and it did it. But then when i right clicked on ringtones, then add file it said it was blocked by provider. but when i right clicked on the song i added into 10889 and say delete it says blocked by provider. So i can write to it, i just cant delete?

*UPDATE*
Have tried all different manual phone settings, all the 9's and the vx10000, and all get the same message when i try to write to 10889/ringtones. Says blocked by provider.

Also tried to make a backup of the file system, and it would not let you back up the mif's and the only mod folder was 10888, brewmappmgr, and obigo

use bitpim 1.06
manually choose vx9100
do not use get/send data

you kick ass.

That worked perfectly. I had it do an update check on 1.0.5 and their were none. I didnt even think about downloading the new test version of bit pim.

Thank you very much.

Now for the free nav and email!

i cannot decide between an LG Dare or a Blackberry curve...any thoughts that could help me.

your welcome, just passing along info

if you like touchscreen and can wait...
look at the BB/rim thunder

I just downloaded 1.06....

I have no idea what any of this stuff is...

I would love to have free Navi. and some free ringtones but dont know how to do any of it....

Can SOmeone Please Help?? I tried putting it in Manually but it doesnt detect my phone.

What do you mean free NAV?? Just for your info, i just got the dare myself and i LOVE IT. i just wish i could get bitpim to work for me too.
