    Re: Samsung u420: Did I just buy a very sexy peice of crap?

    I gave bulk photo downloading a try earlier this evening. No luck. My method was just pretend sending 4 photos to the online album. Then checking the mm/mms file with bitpim to see if they had A)accumulated or B) been replaced by each succeeding file. And sadly, "B" was the symptom.

    desheffer, I agree that photo by photo is doable but I'm not up to it for my 100+ photos. Your "few seconds" is about a minute for me. Are you using a USB transfer cable or Bluetooth? The transfer of a full resolution, full quality photo (50-100k) via bluetooth takes about one minute on my comp

    A question to the other bluetooth users out there: are my transfer times drastically different than yours?

    Thanks

    We need full access.

    Hi all. New here. All the info has been of great help with my new Nimbus. So far I've been able to send sounds to the phone and get pics off(both with BT and a cable I just received off of eBay). I also was able to send pics to the phone by overwritting a pic taken with the camera. But as mentioned elsewere here, when I copied to the /brew/shared/lk/mp folder, the pic does not show up after reboot of the phone. As far as modifying contacts, has anyone tried the Datapilot software available at DataPilot Cell Phone Mobile Sync Software & Data Cables It says it has support for the u420, although it is ONLY for the address book. Also, I don't believe it will work via BT.

    I had the same problem with the pic not showing up after reboot when copying directly to the mp folder. I was using Photoshop to resize the image and save it as a jpeg. come to find out the phone won't recognize the jpeg image created by photoshop for some reason. All you have to do to fix this is right click on the picture after you've resized it in photoshop or what ever program you choose to do it in and click edit to open it up in paint then click save as... and name the file the same. it will ask if you want to overwrite the file just click yes, and it should work.

    Hope this helps.

    welcome jncallahan. I'm also new here. I'm going to give DataPilot a go today. There's no demo download on their site but I think I found one at: DataPilot 3.13.2 - Reviews and free Mobile Phone downloads at ZDNet.co.uk
    The Susteen web page does list the u420 as a supported Samsung model. If it works, perhaps it will offer some insight into unlocking the phone OR just provide us with a few more loopholes to exploit.

    @hippykrit: Sorry I didn't answer sooner, but yes, my method is via USB. I was not aware that bluetooth would take that much longer.

    @jncallahan: That is interesting that your transfer to the /brew/shared/lk/mp folder didn't work. Unfortunately, I can't say I've had that happen before, so all I can really suggest is just to make sure the files are being transfered correctly.

    Re: Samsung u420: Did I just buy a very sexy peice of crap?

    Hello Everyone! And Happy New Years!

    I'm totally new to any kind of Cellular modification, so please excuse my ignorance. My main wish is to send my own personalized ringtones to my u420. I've read the wiki article and it's very informative; however I'd just like to verify the steps for usb transfer before I do anything:

    1) install the CDMA driver from Samsung, then reboot

    2) plug in the cable with the phone

    3) access the phone's file system using BitPim

    4) upload ringtone to the /brew/shared/mr folder and reboot phone


    If these steps are right, then it's thanks to the wiki article, but I also have some other questions about them, such as what kind of data cable to use. I've read from previous posts that the D807 cable works correctly? If so, would eBay: USB+Car Charger For Samsung T809 T629 D807 T519 M610 (item 250068962956 end time Jan-02-07 10:58:04 PST)
    that be sufficient?
    And this "rebooting the phone" business, how exactly is that done? Thanks for the trouble!

    Yes that cable will work and "rebooting" the phone is just power off then back on it can also be done from within BitPim through a menu item.

    Glad I could help.

    jncallahan did you ever have any luck with my suggestion? Just wondering if you were having the same problem I was, or if you found a solution of your own.

    Re: Samsung u420: Did I just buy a very sexy peice of crap?

    I bought my phone with intentions of transferring files(ringtones, wallpaer, pics) via Bluetooth. When I bought it they told me it would do all of that. Now I find out it is Closed Bluetooth. In other words, its Bluetooth was only designed to connect to the headset for wireless communication. I was dupped. Didn't want to have to purchase a cable since I have wireless internet and a bluetooth dongle too. Was everyone informed when they bought their phone that it would not file transfer via Bluetooth?

    I was not, and a little disappointed, but found ways around most of it via this forum. Would like to have had option of xfer contact information back and forth b/t computer and phone but I like the size of the phone and it was BOGO free at the time.

    Re: Samsung u420: Did I just buy a very sexy peice of crap?

    I had a very wierd thing happen with my CDMA driver.
    I was using bit pim to download MP3s for ring tones and let my son use my computer to show him how to do it prior to installing it on his.
    He tried to delete a MP3 on his phone from Bit Pim while down loading one and some how it messed up the driver where it would give me the this folder has been locked by your provider message. After repeated tries to uninstall and reinstall both bit pim and the driver I was forced to install them in my laptop where all is fine again. must be a windows issue. Maybe the driver isn't completely removed? Just thought I'd warn every one. Am using Widows XP SP2.

    YESS! Thank you Desheffer. I couldn't be any more happy.


    Man..I love this phone. I thought it was wonderful. Until I had to pay 5$ a song...........

    But then. Wow. What else can I say? It worked to perfection. I give you a lot of credit for finding all this. It's truly amazing, I'm so happy. Thank you.

    Re: Samsung u420: Did I just buy a very sexy peice of crap?

    Well, I must say you've come a long way. Thanks for the effort! I've decided to give this a try myself. I believe I have the correct driver and I have BitPim, now I need a cable. I searched on ebay and found quite a few listed under "u420 usb cable". I also found the ones for the d807-which appear to be quite a bit cheaper...my question is this: should I get one for the u420 with the "driver disc" or should I just buy the lone cable for the d807? Thanks
