Re: [BitPim-user] 1.0.7.20090805-Test vs LG enV3: Send PhoneBook to Phone corrupts Contacts

Shal, you don't need data services to use BA.  Either get an online account
(free) with VZN or download it for 1.99.  You should download it either way
and let it backup your contact list while you sleep.  

I would not download ringtones to my phone from VZN ever.  It is easier to
make them with iTunes and then transfer them to the microsd card in the
sounds directory and use them as ringtones.  Have never synched through
windows media player so I don't know what that does.  I transfer full songs
to the microsd card music directory and the phone turns into a small ipod.
It's great!  I picked up a card reader at abc warehouse for 8 bucks.  

Once you transfer the ringtone to the sound directory of the microsd card,
go to music and tones, my sounds, select a ringtone, select 'Set as', select
Contact ID, and find the person.  VOILA!  You have now associated a ringtone
with a person w/o downloading a ringtone or transferring a ringtone to the
phone with BitPim.

Lowell,

>your contacts?

No. I haven't enabled data services and as a result can't use BA at all. I'm
hoping BitPim is my work-around for this. The good news is that I'd only
entered a half-dozen contacts by hand before doing this, so the amount of
effort lost (or at risk) is minimal.

I've been able to sync my enV3 with Windows Media Player to put on music.
Ringtones I've copied to the phone's microSD directly with a card reader. I
haven't tried doing those through BitPim.
