Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / June 2004LG VX4500 Questions
Hi folks, Got 2 LG vx4500 phones recently. Nice phones. Needing help on the following: - Banner setting : Set banner on wife's phone. Works fine. Set banner on my phone. Does not work. Displays the "Verizon Wirelss" banner Went to the Verizon store, tech says it has to do with software. Didn't explain why wiffe's phone works but mine doesn't. - Wallpaper setting: Wife loves all the pretty wallpapers. I prefer a plain white back ground. No setting in phone for "no background" I understand I can load wallpapers into the phone but that I would need some sort of data cable and software. Please advise on what/where to obtain such cable and software and recommendations on its usage. - Tones Wife and I prefer tones that are professional. The default ring tones are fine but we'd like something even more subtle. GetIt(tm) only has those music tones. Any recommendation on a place to obtain more professional tones? Please post your advice here. Thanks in advance. bitpim and a data cable so you can upload what you like. brian s. > Hi folks, > Got 2 LG vx4500 phones recently. Nice phones.

For banner: If you want to display your custom banner, make sure that the clock setting is set to the default (not digital or analog). Might not make sense now, but the big clocks make the custom banner go off the top (thus making only the VZW banner show up) For wallpaper: I would suggest just the data cable thing like below.. not too familiar with this For tones: Im not sure where you could find an actual "normal ringer" as the LG4500 is has a polyphonic speaker, making all of the tones to sound somewhat music like. The first 3 or 4 are probably the best "real" rings you'll get Hope this helps > bitpim and a data cable so you can upload what you like. > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > > > Please post your advice here.

You did of course actually read the web page: http://bitpim.sourceforge.net/ Note: you need to use the 0.7 development releases if you have any phone other than the LG VX4400). http://bitpim.sourceforge.net/testhelp/phone-lgvx4500.htm > Got errors when I tried to download phone info to my laptop. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://bitpim.sourceforge.net/testhelp/support.htm Roger Is it possible to replace the speed dial number 1 to a number of your choice instead of the voice mail number set by verizon? I tried saving to the <speeddial> slot 1 but it kicks it automatically to the next avail free speed dial. Also. Can the user set the "my phone number" or does it have to be set by verizon. the number that is set in my phone's "my phone number" is not correct. TIA >Is it possible to replace the speed dial number 1 to a number >of your choice instead of the voice mail number set by verizon? How about "Edit Voice Mailbox #" shown on page 77 of the manual? >>Is it possible to replace the speed dial number 1 to a number >>of your choice instead of the voice mail number set by verizon? > >How about "Edit Voice Mailbox #" shown on page 77 of the manual? It looks like that works, but does anyone know if it's possible to enter a 2 second pause for the voice mail number? It doesn't seem to be an option. > It looks like that works, but does anyone know if it's possible to enter > a 2 second pause for the voice mail number? It doesn't seem to be an > option. With my phone, a Motorola v60s, I have the number for voice mail in the phone book with the number entered as *86ppxxxx - where pp represents two pauses, and xxxx is the pin number. This is not an original idea of mine, I got it from this forum. Now all you have to do is figure out where the symbol for pause is for your phone. I don't even remember where I found it for my phone, so I can't help with that. Yes, enter the capital letter T for each 2second pause >>>Is it possible to replace the speed dial number 1 to a number >>>of your choice instead of the voice mail number set by verizon?

And it won't let you change the entry mode to text. Any other ideas? I programmed this in my own VX4500 to automate the voicemail retrieval. Try it again. Use the toggle key to change from number/symbol to alpha Look at your phone again. The option is there ... again ... Menu/3/6/8 will take you directly to the edit screen Use the toggle key where it says 123 and select Abc, then use the * key to shift and voila ... enter "T" >>>It looks like that works, but does anyone know if it's possible to enter >>>a 2 second pause for the voice mail number?

The text entry mode will not change from 123 mode via the right soft key (toggle key). Is there another setting somewhere else that might be controlling this? My default text entry mode is T9, That's odd. The sequence I described below takes me directly to the edit screen which allows me to use the soft toggle key to change to alpha .. don't know what to say .... try editing the voicemail speedial without entering the text .. save it ...exit and go back into it ... >>I programmed this in my own VX4500 >>to automate the voicemail retrieval.

My guess is they changed the firmware to prevent people from storing their voice mail password. |
