Re: [BitPim-user] BitPim fails to start AND trying to get text messages off my phone

[DAVENPORT, M. <mda...@co...>]

I have an update on my progress. I managed to get BitPim 1.0.7 to work on
Windows Vista. Since the LGVN150 is not a supported phone type I used
autodetect and it comes up as "Other CDMA phone" now.

I am trying to get my old text messages off of the phone, but I haven't had
any luck. "Get Phone Data" shows only a group of greyed out checkboxes. I
can view the filesystem and I believe I have found the files that
correspond to my texts, with a .*DB.vol.sys, *DB.vol.log and *DB.vol files.
However the problem that I have now is that I can't download these files
off the phone. BitPim says that the provider has blocked access to these
files.

So I'm stuck. What do I do now? I contacted Verizon and they weren't much
help. Monday I will try talking to LG and see what they say.

Ideas? Any and all help would be appreciated.

FYI I found the original USB cable from Verizon that came with the phone
and used that but nothing changed.

Hello, I am trying to use BitPim on Windows 10 with an LG VN150 phone and a
standard USB cable. I have installed the USB and Modem drivers for my phone.

My issues are as such :
BitPim fails to start as well as BitFling.

Both give me this error message, "See the logfile 'C:\Program Files
(x86)\BitPim\bitpimw.exe.log' for details."

However, this file does not exist. There are no *.log files in that folder
or in any of its subfolders.

I will try to install the program on Windows Vista and see if the problem
persists.

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks,
Marc
