The author’s instructions work, but Leopard 10.5 users add this setup, after 3:

1. Open System Prefences

2. Under Sharing, check “Bluetooth Sharing”

3. Proceed with author’s steps.

Hi! I realize that people are not posting on this as frequently, but I have used BItPim with my LG VX9800 for two years. I recently got the LG VX10000 and it is not configuring with my macbook pro. Does anyone have advice?

I don’t even have the option to edit serial ports, although I can browse the device and transfer things using “browse device”. I’m really confused. Please help!

curious - anyone having problems with this freezing? Bitpim keeps freezing then I have to reboot to get it to quit properly. I have tried force quit but it leaves it sorta open - can’t use it but still docked and in the force quit list. I have looked at the activity monitor and can’t figure out which process I need to kill (if you know i love you - tired of reboots!!!)

Also… anyone know which file to dump a ringtone in on a venus?

or…

can you push a calender onto a venus from bitpim? when I try the phone reboots…

thanks

I kept getting the same error message many have noted: “Phone detection failed while manipulating the file system.” However, D. P. Wynter’s solution also worked perfect for me. Just disconnect other bluetooth devices first. Yay.

doesn’t work for Samsung m300, which also has crippled bluetooth.

I tried using a USB data transfer and the bluetooth protocol as you suggested, BitPim still refuses to “detect” my phone.

editor of this article says to use a 7 - 9 db volume. DO NOT use a 7 - 9 db volume.. it’ll skew your ringtone to pieces.. keep it at 0 or down to -3 at most.

Heather…did you ever get anything to work with your LG AX260? I just purchased one and love the phone but I’m really disappointed with the lack of ability to sync with OSX. I’d love to know if you’ve found out anything since your last post.

I have a lg ax260 which is the same phone as the rumor for sprint. It does not say that it is supported on the bitpim site but on a forum there is a tutorial for how to use it with the phone. Would your method work? Or does the phone have to be one on the bitpim list?

Thanks.
