Network World Fusion, 01/23/03

LG-VX4400open.jpgVerizon Wireless has announced availability of the LG VX4400 handset, which adds a color screen and works on Verizon's Get it Now service.

The VX4400 has a color internal LCD display that can show more than 65,000 colors, and includes a blue backlit keypad. It also has an 'event-personalized' caller ID with 10 different colors -- users can choose red for incoming calls, blue for missed calls and green for new SMS alerts, Verizon said.

The access to the Get it Now service from Verizon lets users download business applications (yes, and games and ring tones) over the air (Get it Now is Verizon's BREW service). Verizon says the handset will soon be available on its Express Network (Verizon's name for the CDMA 1x network), which will provide data speeds between 40K bit/sec. and 60K bit/sec. on average.

Other features of the VX4400 include E911 emergency location capabilities, Openwave UP 4.1 Web browser, voice-activated dialing, up to 1.5M bytes of downloadable flash memory, SMS text messaging, 26 ring tones, 99 speed dial entries, and a scheduler/calendar. The phone costs $199.99 with a two-year contract. Go to the Verizon Web site for more details.

Comments


I just bought the new vx4400 and I think it is great. The picture is fantastic and it has an endless amount of features. I do however have one problem with it. I cannot seem to find a way to download a new screen saver or banner. I was able to download the games, music and mail. The balloons, puppy, and beach get old really quick. If anyone can give me an answer on how to download a new banner or if it is simply impossible, it would be appreciated.

Well Eli, sorry to say, but you cant download new backgrounds. They didnt say tell you that when you roped you into a 2 year contract. I was reading on a UK site, that states "Choice of 8 backgrounds to customize" well my friend, sorry, but i dont want a fucking dog or happy ballons. This is ludacrius and something that will make me want to take the damn phone back.

Posted by: Justin on February 5, 2003 02:23 AM

I just bougt this phon and its great! The only problem is that thre are fewer games to download than other phones. Currently i manged to get my phone stuck in "manner moder" were theres no sound and no ring just a vibrater, if any one knows how to get it out of it please email me. Prep55@aol.com

Posted by: Steve Garfinkel on February 7, 2003 04:06 PM

Steve:
Hold down the star button for 3 seconds...this will get you to complete quite mode...do the same thing again and you will be back at normal.
Bye the way...I agree it sucks not being able to download screensavers.

Great phone! How do I get rid of the "Verizon Wireless" banner below my personal banner??

Posted by: Jason on February 11, 2003 11:02 PM

Jason,

You can't get rid of it on this phone. In fact it's important to know who's network you're on since it'd help you in knowing if you are roaming and incurring charges based on what plan you have.

If you have the America's Choice plan the only time you will incur roaming charges is if the banner were Verizon Wireless is, instead says Roaming and there is a new solid triangle icon next to the others. Also, you may be roaming, but not be charged for it since we have agreements with other companies to use their towers. So if the triangle icon is on the lcd, but it's not solid and is instead blinking, and the Verizon banner now says "Sprint, AT&T ect... or Extended Service..." you're not being charged roaming.

For any other plans besides the America's Choice plan the way to know if your getting charged roaming is to ask your Customer Service about your Local Digital Choice plan. I'm in Florida and ours basically only gets charged "domestic roaming" which means I only get charged roaming outside the state of Florida, even if the triangle icon on the LGVX4400 is solid or blinking.

***REGARDING THE LGVX4400 WALLPAPER***
Actually, you will be able to change the wallpaper and won't have to put up with ballons, the beach, or puppies later on. If you go to display-screens-wallpaper in your phone you'll see the soft key 2 button has an Actions. Push that and you can select, just like the ring tones through the defualts and the downloadable ones. Get it now, will eventually have wallpapers for this feature.

Hope this helps anyone out,

Hey, yea I totally hear everyone about the wallpaper issue. It's definatly annoying but overall I like the phone a lot. I went from the T120 which sucked to this one and i'm way happier. I didn't know how to download the wallpaper on that phone either. Is there a Get it now website? Maybe that would say something to when their gonna have a program for the wallpapers...

Posted by: Rachel on February 15, 2003 04:41 PM

I've set up my voice activated dialing but can't figure out how to access it. when I press SEND, I go into vice mail. the manual gives great instructions, except how to actually use it! Also what does 1x mean on the screen.
I see it mentioned in the manual, but again, no explanation.

Posted by: Karen on February 16, 2003 10:49 PM

Karen,

There is a button on th side of the phone below the 2 volume buttons. Just press that and it will prompt you for the voice-dial number you want.

Hope this helps,

SS

Posted by: Silver Surfer on February 19, 2003 08:44 PM

Karen,

The 1x mode is called "Express Network" also know as IS-2000 Rel.0. It's a 144kpbs connection to the net. Right now it's only capable of about 50-60kbps connections. With the office kit you can get for the phone to plug into a laptop or whatever you would get a faster connection then a standard office kit through the use of the 1x mode. However, it's not available in all areas yet.

Just picked up three of the vx 4400's. Seems like a great phone. My question is there a way to manage calander from my computer.

Posted by: dave on February 22, 2003 09:27 PM

Regarding the 1x mode - That is the only type of "service" that my phone ever displays. I called my local Verizon store, but they had no idea what the 1x stood for. Am I still getting digital service when the phone displays 1x?

Posted by: Mark on February 24, 2003 08:48 AM

I want to know if there's a website that I can get on to download ringtones, games, etc... Without doing it on (get it now) and being charged airtime plus the price of the ringtone or game.I have the LG-vx4400 cellphone.

Posted by: Bobby Rodriguez on February 27, 2003 11:44 PM

DJ -

I've already used Get It Now and downloaded ring tones. Any idea when we'll be able to download wallpaper???

Thanks!

Posted by: Renee on February 28, 2003 07:28 PM

hi,
Just bought the VX4400 and I think it's awesome. Everyone's complimenting me on it, but I have no idea how to download ring tones on it, can anyone help me out? If u know how to PLEASE e-mail me!
Thanks,
Jenny

Posted by: Jenny on March 1, 2003 04:09 PM

if u have weekends and nights free, which i think everyone does, just use GetIt Now then. Since your airtime is free it won't cost you anything. i hope the wallpaper thing comes soon, thats all i really care about. ringers and games don't really matter to me, but it would be nice if it had some built-in games like ever other phone.

Posted by: Will on March 3, 2003 04:55 PM

I have miss placed the vx-4400 manual. Anyone knows where I can get one or download it on Net please give me the info. Thank you so much.

nicholas@vydc.org

Posted by: Nicholas on March 3, 2003 05:07 PM

Yeah, you can just goto the lginfocomm.com website and gota the vx 4400 an there's a pdf format manual. Does any one understand what the location thing is? other then jus for E911... if u do please give me that info.
Thanks
alex

Posted by: alex on March 3, 2003 06:28 PM

Jenny, I had to go to the modtones website. Then it let me add song I liked to my wishlist, which then got downloaded to my phone when I connected to that app again. I was then able to preview my rings (songs) and choose to use them.

Nicholas, The location thing is also for calling your 611 service for directions (I am pretty sure), and also for future expansion posibilities.

I cannot wait to DL more wallpapers and screen savers once we can.

Bobby R, You cannot download anything to your phone without using airtime. Make sense?

I love my 4400, but just wish it would have come with a car charger since the battery does not last long, with using the color screen and polophonic rings, and cuz I am always playing with it since it is still a new toy to me.

Posted by: Floyd on March 3, 2003 08:30 PM

i've got this phone now too, its great, except for the wallpaper and ringtones i agree. Although modtones is quite a wellmade service (much better than ringster), it does cost around $1 a tone even if u "buy in bulk".
So, the question is, where can we get new wallpapers and ringtones? Well, since GET PIX is not available for our phones yet.....we can sit and wait til it comes out if we like. Anyone who knows the date, let me know!
Another option is to download from many other sites. Yes this is definitely possible, because if you look at either the tones or screens section, there are Downloaded areas under Soft Key 2 if you check. However, there is a rumor that Verizon has blocked the downloading of images and tones from non-Verizon sites. Seems true to me, i cant download everything, as close as i've gotten i continue to get "Error: Restricted" or "contact your service provider" or something like that.
Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Posted by: Ruston on March 5, 2003 02:44 AM

I really like the phone, and I am not going to let the wallpaper spoil my interest in the phone. I do have a question that the handbook does not explain in it's entirety and that is the answering machine feature. It says speaker on or speaker off. What does this mean. Please email me. Thank you, and I got to let you know that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior and he wants to be yours.

Posted by: Harry Cortes on March 5, 2003 06:03 PM

I posted this on cnet as well:
This is the Verizon phone to get!!I'm sure glad I held out and did not get the Motorola T720. This phone blows it away. Finally Verizon is catching up to the other wireless phone companies and providing some decent phones that are feature rich. I got 2 of these phones for free from Verizon..With the $100 mail in rebate and a $100 credit for each phone for being long time customers. The LG VX4400 is a sturdy phone with a easy to use interface, great volume and a gorgeous color screen.
To address the wallpaper issue, use GAGIN. For the brave computer geeks, there are several ways to hack into the phone and put in personal wallpapers and ringtones bypassing Verizon's expensive "get it now" application. (just do a search on google, sorry Verizon!) You should see my personal wallpaper and hear the "Godfather" ring tone. I highly recommend this phone!!

Posted by: Shaggy Goat on March 7, 2003 12:11 AM

hey, Shaggy Goat, could you email me at themadcow712@hotmail.com and tell me how to go get wallpapers? i tried what u said but couldnt figure it out. Also, could you explain the thing that u were saying u could bypass or whatever? it'd be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Posted by: Ruston on March 7, 2003 06:30 PM

Yes, GAGIN is the way to get FREE ringtones on your phone and the ONLY way to get WALLPAPER. It is nice to have the option to do so since Verizon is the only company that forces you to pay them for ringtones and wallpaper when almost every other provider on the planet allows you to aquire these things for free. Verizon is ripping people off with GetItNow (I refer to it as GetRippedOffNow). The programmers and hackers of the world have finally given us a way to get around Verizons facist practices. They have great coverage and great customer service, but get it now sucks. By the way, I love the VX4400, the best phone I have owned in the last 13 years, especially when used in combination with GAGIN (Get Around Get It Now)

Posted by: Rallykid on March 9, 2003 02:14 AM

PLEASE EMAIL ME AT themadcow712@hotmail.com
I wanna know how to use GAGIN, i've heard about it on howardforums, but i have Windows 98, so does this mean i'm stuck with no wallpapers? i heard that GAGIN is not compatible with it.... :(
please help, thanks.

Posted by: Ruston on March 9, 2003 10:50 PM

Is there any possibilities that Verizon Will Add more games to download for the LG VX400?

Posted by: J-Z on March 11, 2003 11:42 PM

....If there is email me SportsJZ@aol.com

Thanks

Posted by: J-Z on March 11, 2003 11:43 PM

Can someone give me info on GAGIN and how to use it... J-Z -> yes they update it whenever they can.. i have noticed new games like every month. I downloaded that football game... man that is not football, they could call that soccer, dodgeball, hockey, whatever

Posted by: Zack on March 13, 2003 04:54 PM

Also... do you need the cable that connects to the phone?? how much is it, where can i find it cheap ... (im talkin about using it with gagin, do u need it?)

Posted by: Zack on March 13, 2003 04:56 PM

Thanks aLOT zAcK

Posted by: J-Z on March 14, 2003 01:25 AM

there is even a easier way than GAGIN to get wallpapers and rintones to the the LG 4400....Its called bit pim and it can be downloaded here http://bitpim.sourceforge.net ...its simple and fast point and click....requires very little configuring or computer knowledge and it works on Windows 98,ME and 2000 unlike GAGIN...

Posted by: JackS on March 15, 2003 08:20 AM

Well, I am don't know anything about computers and it takes me a while to comprehend things, so could someone email me step-by-step ways to download ringtones.

Posted by: jessica on March 15, 2003 01:40 PM

Is there a way to change the external LCD color? I have changed the "standby" settings, but it didnt help. I really dont like the green.

Posted by: Britt on March 16, 2003 11:30 AM

So you definately need a USB cable to mess with the phone?

Posted by: Zack on March 16, 2003 02:51 PM

What is GAGIN how does it work?

How can i download wallpaper to my phone?

Posted by: J-Z on March 16, 2003 06:13 PM

I bought the vx 4400 thinking that the color id was personalized to the individual caller. ive looked through almost the entire manual, and find nothing about this...Are the colors only for telling you if it's an incomming call or message or whatever? i would greatly appreciate some help with this.

Posted by: limesky on March 17, 2003 12:34 AM

Hi, I just recently purchased the LG vx4400 from verizon. I was also wondering if someone who understands GAGIN could please email me step by step so I can start downloading ringtones and wallpapers. I would greatly appreciate it. I was trying to figure it out myself by reading some of the comments, but I just can't understand quite what everyone's saying. Thanks.

Posted by: Krisel on March 17, 2003 04:43 AM

I just got one of these phones and I was wondering if there's any way to send free ringotnes or wallpapers directly to the phone, without something like a USB cable. Please help.

Posted by: Geoff on March 17, 2003 08:52 PM

i was jus wonderin if anyone knew of ant sites that you can goto to download ringtones for free and when they might be coming out with the downloadable wallpapers

Posted by: Peter on March 17, 2003 09:01 PM

I can't seem to figure out how to, when i'm on the phone with someone, access my phone book at the same time. Please help.

Posted by: LA on March 18, 2003 11:56 AM

All of you that are asking how to uses GAGIN and step by step info on wallpapers/ringtones. Go to wirelessadvisor.com of howardforums.com, check out the "LG" forums and do a search. There is plenty of info in those forums to walk you through.

Posted by: Shaggy Goat on March 24, 2003 06:40 AM

regaurding the wallpaper issue if you just download the pictavision application and save and upload some images off the internet you can set them as your background as well as your own picture.

hope this helps

Does anyone know where to get an external antenna for the VX-4400. And will it do any good in a fringe area.

I have a LG 4400 problem that I was promised a call back from LG service department when I called LG 1-800 and Verison 1-800 and filled out a "Customers Voice" form Verison with since it can’t be fixed with out LG’s help that has not happened yet.

The Auto Answer function
(As mentioned on page 96 of owner’s manual.
Menu 8,5,4,after one ring):
When its set to answer after one ring the LG 4400 should only answer after one ring when the car kit is being used.

My present LG 4400 answers after one ring even if the car kit is not being used/installed on the LG 4400 and only want it to answer when the car kit is being used.

This is my second LG 4400 and my other one would do what the manual says (only answer when car kit is used after one ring). As mentioned on page 96 of the owner’s manual:
(Allows you to select the number of rings before the phone automatically answers a call. This feature is used only with the car kit.)

Please tell me how to make this happen ASAP the way the phone SHOULD work in real life applications.
My phones software info:
1) S/W ver.
TC4VZ04
2)PRL ver.
PLR 10051
3) ERI ver.
ERI 50018
Which is the same as the other one and do consider this a software
malfunction that needs to be fixed ASAP.

How do I go about downloading free games/tones or savers on the LG VX4400? What site do I look into do this? Other than that... this is a great little phone and I am pleased with it.

Posted by: john on April 6, 2003 01:20 PM

The phone is coo and everything but the LG 5350 is a hell of a lot easier and compatible with downloading sites...if your struggling with the LG 4400 just get the LG 5350 cuz its damn easier to change and customize as well as good service...hit me up if u need any info...

Posted by: dom on May 7, 2003 09:57 AM

I bought the VX 4400 and like to carry it in my pocket, but that brings out one really annoying feature.

the Voice memo button on the side will get pressed in my pocket, putting the phone into Manner mode or worse yet silence All mode.

Is there a way to disable this feature on the voice memo button? I don't mind going to the * key to get this feature.

thanks

i was reading all these posts and noticed everyone is wanting new wallpaper but no one has mentioned Pictavision from what i had seen...i just got my LG and downloaded it...you can upload any photo onto a free account at dotphoto.com...then from your phone you can log on and view your pic there..then save it as wallpaper...i don't know if it helps anyone...and also ..does anyone find that they can't talk on their lg while on a car charger without constant beeps on the phone...any help would be appreciated

Posted by: jordan on May 7, 2003 07:54 PM

Re: Wallpaper... Yea Jordan!
Wasn't sure if Pictavision supported this function. It does. Thanks! Pink Floyd now on the LG! Be careful though... The option of get it now pictavision offers a 30 day fee of 7.99 or 3.99 monthly subscription. I didn't know that a subscription is defined as 12 months of recurring charges. Seems like deceptive advertising. Verizon said they would pass the info on.

But thanks again.

ATTENTION ALL---------------

Look all you wizards out there... why don't you "smarties" just cut and paste links rather than expecting people to go search the webless wonder for your silly sites?
If you have a site that has info, downloads, or anything related to the Verizon LG VX4400, please enter the URL (web address) and a brief description of the site (why would anyone want to go there?), and post it here. This way, anyone can click on the link you posted and know what they are looking at!

DUH!

THANKS GUYS!

-So Silly


PS- YES> YOU REALLY DO NEED A CABLE TO DO ANYTHING WITH THIS PHONE... and Verizon Wireless should be PUNISHED for making a phone WITH NO FREE GAMES, AND NO FREE BACKGROUNDS. Could they possibly make money off of anything else? Thank god for the "smarties" who hack this crap! Woo-hoo! But why, why, why is it so hard to give CONCRETE LINKS and INFORMATION????

Posted by: Why Is Everyone So Silly? on June 2, 2003 09:15 PM

Just purchased 2 LG-4400's. Great phones except the LG-5530 from another provider ( that has much worse service, etc.) has a better choice of ring tones and games that come standard on the 5530 phone. Where can I get the ring tones and games that are available on the 5530? Is there any way to link the two phones and copy the ring tones? (I have a friend w/ the 5530) Is there a free site to find these apps. at? I will need help with this as I am not very computer / download literate. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, jan.

Posted by: jber on June 9, 2003 10:02 AM

I transferred my phone book from my previous cellphone to the LGVX4400, and now am finding it cumbersome to assign numbers with speed dial, and impossible to assign numbers from 100-199. Please, for those of you who have figured it out, let me know how to do speed dial quickly, and simply do 100-199 at all. Many thanks, karen

Posted by: karen on June 9, 2003 11:26 PM

I'm thinking about buying a LGVX4400 but I'm not sure because the background seems a bit boring. I have a Kyoce2235 which really sucks so any change is better. What other types of backgrounds are offered.

Posted by: Lilian on June 17, 2003 03:19 PM

***DOWNLOADING IS POSSIBLE FOR LG VX 4400!!!***

UNBELIEVABLE!!! I DID IT! YOU CAN GOTO www.dotphoto.com AND SIGN UP FOR A FREE ACCOUNT. MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD "PICTAVISION" FIRST ON YOUR PHONE. IT DOESNOT COST YOU ANYTHING. WHEN YOU SIGN UP FOR YOUR ACCOUNT ON THE "DOTPHOTO" WEBSITE, YOU WILL USE A LOGIN NAME AND A PASSWORD. NOW WHEN YOU BRING UP "PICTAVISION" ON "GET IT NOW" ON YOUR PHONE, IT WILL EVENTUALLY ASK YOU TO SET YOUR LOGIN NAME AND A PASSWORD. USE THE SAME INFORMATION AS WHEN YOU SIGNED UP FOR THE WEBSITE. AFTER ENTERING THE INFO. IN YOUR PHONE IT WILL STORE IT FOR YOU AND THEN YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO ENTER IT AGAIN.
ALL I DID WAS PLAYED AROUND WITH THE WEBSITE UNTIL I FOUND "UPLOAD FILES TO DOTPHOTO". ABOUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE IT SAYS " CLICK HERE TO INSTALL THE UPLOAD TOOL" SO I DID. NOW, I HAVE WINDOWS XP, SO I HAVE A "MY PICTURES" FILE. SO I OPENED SOME OF MY PICTURE SAVED FILES AND UPLOADED THEM. NEXT THING I KNEW I HAD DOWNLOADED NEW WALLPAPER!!!
TO VIEW YOUR OWN PICTURES... SIMPLY
ON YOUR CELL,
GOTO GET IT NOW
SELECT PIX
( NOTE AFTER YOU SELECT PIX... A DESCRIPTON OF "PICTAVISION" WILL APPEAR... DONT WORRY PRESS CLR BUTTON)
NOW YOU HAVE A MENU... SO...
SELECT "MY ALBUMS"
AND IT SAYS "GETTING ALBUM LIST"
NOW SELECT "MY FIRST ALBUM"
AND IT WILL SAY "CHOOSE IMAGE"
NOW THE REST IS UP TO YOU!

I HOPE THIS HELPED! IF NOT OR IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS... post a comment and i will write back.

Posted by: MICHELLE on June 19, 2003 02:13 AM

Hey all...Just so you all know. It is possible to download backgrounds from your computer to your phone. Just buy a cable from your local radio shack. Buy the one labeled for the LG VX10 phone because that works best. Then download Bitpim and Comscan. They're open source programs. After that, you're set.

Posted by: Alan on June 19, 2003 04:17 PM

I don't understand this... and teenagers are supposed to be able to use all this internet stuff easily. I downloaded pictavision and all that stuff and now all i have to do left is save it as wallpaper. I can view the picture, i just don't know how to SAVE it. Would be glad if someone could help.

i just got the lg vx4400 about a week ago.its pretty cool, but the wallpaper & ring tones suck. i cant find any website to get free ring tones & some free wallpapers for my fone. if anyone knows some sites, please email me or just answer back here, thx.

after you buy pictavision and download the pics on your phone do they stay there till you delete them or do they run out whrn your subscription runs out with pictavision

Posted by: tim on June 27, 2003 01:18 AM

Wow...people are saying a phone sucks because it doesnt have the right tones and pictures. I wonder how many of you actually paid for the phone?! Mine came for free with my continued account with Verizon...not bad for a $250 dollar value (the cost of the phone on the net). I must be an old fogey at 38. I am old enough to remember payphones. I even had (up until now) a non-flip, green screened, black font only phone and think this is a HUGE advancement. Also, if you wonderful people looking for help would scroll through the messages, you will see that some very generous folks have spent time answering the "how to get wallpaper and ringtone" questions...more than a few times. Wow ...some of you people are lazy, impatient and ungrateful. Thank you to those who took the time to answer. Ive enjoyed reading your help. Old Fogey Lizzie

Posted by: Lizzie on June 27, 2003 08:24 AM

I TOTALLY agree with you Lizzie...some people just don't know how GOOD they actually have it just being able to HAVE access to cell phones,.. pictures...ringtones...yeah, they are nice, but why DID they actually GET a cell phone? I wanted mine to use like a P~H~O~N~E DUH!? If all I wanted was to look at pics and play games, I could buy a picture book and gameboy! (At 38 I also can remember pay phones-when they only cost 10 cents to use...) LOL
Thanks for sharing your opinion!

Umm. I've been reading threw this as best as I can (@ 5:30 in the morn).. and I agree with the two females above me... but..

I'm not grasping this..
I go to pictavision.com, get a free account.. upload photos..
then I go (in my phone) to pictavision? how?

EHH!! I could really use a walk threw.. I would take my time and do this all step-by-step on my own.. but I don't have THAT much time to waist on my cell phone, altho' I would really like to get some new pictures..

And yeah, I agree.. I think the whole charge for screens and ringtones is a horrible act on Verizon's part, but what am I going to do about it? They are making money off of it, so they obviously arn't going to stop.

I wonder whatever happened to treating the customer right..

Posted by: Azo' on July 7, 2003 05:17 AM

This phone is great. It is such an improvement from my old phone (only purchased two years ago) I think it is annoying about the wallpaper but really overall with the color and all of the features can you really complain. I am looking into that Gagin website. I don't really see how to work it but that is okay. I think this phone is user friendly and modern and awsome

your fuckin phone suck and you can shove it up your high cost ,ever taxing ,tight minute ass! thanx for allowing me to speak my mind

Posted by: like it is on July 29, 2003 07:18 PM

I was reading the comments on this board and I too have the 4400. I think it is a great little phone! The instructions for Pictavision are as follows:

1.Go to www.dotphoto.com and join a free account.
2.Upload your photos to your dotPhoto account. They must be .jpg files. More information on uploading can be found in the FAQS under 'How do I upload my images?'
3. Download Pictavision to your phone.
4. Start Pictavision.
5. Go to set login and enter your username and password for dotPhoto. Do not use the Member ID field. (a quickstart for the 4400 is at http://www.dotphotoinfo.com/lg4400qstart/lg4400qs.htm)
6. View, save to wallpaper, send an email invitation or store your pictures on your phone. Have fun!

If you need any further help on the application please email support@dotphoto.com. Thanks

Posted by: Charlene on July 31, 2003 08:29 AM

Additionally Pictavision is in the "Get it Now" area of Verizon Wireless, in ALLTEL's "Axcess" catalog and in US Cellular's"Download Shop".

Posted by: Charlene on July 31, 2003 09:24 AM

I bought a LG VX10 phone and cannot find any websites that will allow me to download games or ringtone please e-mail me with some information.

Posted by: David on August 2, 2003 09:39 AM

This phone is off the hook!!! But PICTAVISION IS NOT FREE! it would all be so much easier if they gave i to u as a free trial like suome of the other applications.

Posted by: Double D on August 4, 2003 08:34 PM

Ok, I have figured out how to download the pics, but all the pics I download are crappy looking. Seems they're either out of focus, or made to fit the screen resulting in a photo that's out of whack.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!!!

I notice that a lot of people are having the same problem not being able to download songs off of the internet. Nobody seems to be answering their questions as to where, besides get it now, they can find them. Would someone from verizon possibly help? Some customer service this is.

I love my new phone except for NO free downloadable ringtones, backgrounds, and games. The other question is on my other phone, the Motorola V60, the status light blinks the entire time and I liked that. Apparently LG calls this light the "lamp", but as many things, is NOT IN THE USERS MANUAL! Can somebody help? email me back. Jabercrombied@att.net

How do you delete pictures you download with Pictavision? Not wallpaper, but pictures in the local Pictavision folder?

Posted by: drd12 on September 8, 2003 08:12 PM

easy, easy, easy. for anyone who wants to add wallpaper ringtones all for free...well not entirely free since u just need a data cable from radio shack that u can pick up for 20 bucks but then u dont have to worry about anything else anymore cus everything is gonna be free including unlimited amounts of ringtones and wallpaper...still working on games tho. email me if u need more info.

Posted by: j0hnd0e on September 10, 2003 10:39 AM

I love my phone. but it was on manner mode and i held down the star for a second and it went to "lock mode" i can not do anything with it. it says i need a code to unlock it but where do i find that code? much help.

Posted by: Laura on September 10, 2003 04:22 PM

Laura,

You can get the phone out of lock mode by typing the last 4 digits of your phone number into the phone. You also most likely held down the "#" and not the "*" key.

Also does anyone know what the hell the answering machine feature does in the Voice Services Menu in the Settings? I just was trying to figure it out, but i really have no clue.

Thanks

Posted by: Frank on September 11, 2003 02:47 PM

I have the LG Vx6000--awesome phone. But how do you download music and ringtones?

Posted by: Audey on September 16, 2003 06:23 AM

if you want to dl ringtones, wallpaper, games, etc, you need to go to RadioShack, or some other store and pick up a data cable. I know, it COSTS something, but nothing is free for this phone, so it's the best you can do.

after you get the cable, install bit-pim. it is a piece of software that allows you to connect to your phone. from there you can download files. the dl-ed files will be in the lower right drop-down box labelled "Downloaded" wallpaper, etc.

then, goto yahoo user groups and look up the phone. there are multiple groups there that will answer your questions and have dl-able files.

hope this helps!

Well, after scrolling through this post and finding the 2 things that i need to continue enjoying my new LGVX4400, i am satisfied, as long as everything works out that is. Ive gone to http://bitpim.sourceforge.net and downloaded the program needed to upload stuff onto the phone, and ive also gone to http://www.brewbackups.com and downloaded a bunch of midi files for ringtones. Now all i need to do is go to radioshack and buy the cable and hopefully all should go well, ill post again if it all works out right. oh, and another site that can be used for uploading pics for new wallpapers in http://www.Snapfish.com, you even get 2 days free to try it out, before u download the app to your phone though, try making a photo album on the site first so u already have what u want to download to your phone and u dont waste time looking for the right photos. thats all, late.

hey guys ive read all these posts........ok i was really board and looking to figure out how to download ring tones.......but no biggy....but about the hole wallpaper issue, just take a picture of something on your phone that you want as a backround.....and when you save the pic you can set it as a backround.....i mean if u want ludacris on your phone, take a pic of a cd cover or something, just creative with it, you will eventually get what you want.

Posted by: Noah on November 22, 2003 11:53 AM

After you are a dedicated customer of years of service,Verizon will stop making the battery you need for your phone.Then they will try to force you to sign a contract of 1-2 years. After 5 years you should be a lifetime memebr and recieve
additional incentives to stay. But not Verizon.They don't need the customers help anymore
as they are the leading Cell Phone Company.On our backs at that. But you know what. Forget them.They can come down the same way.

I have the LG VX 4400. I was just curious what the conclusion was as to downloading color wallpaper on this phone. Is it only possible through GetIt Now? or is that even possible? I havent got a chance to use it (Im in extended area and it wont connect, although it should).

I just sat here for 30 minutes, reading all the postings and I think that most of the questions on here (manner mode and lock) can be answered by just reading the manual. It had both english and spanish, so read up. No ones too good or too technology-inclined to read the manual. It helps. Honest.

everyone keeps asking the same questions of how to unlock phones, how to download free games and tones, and how to basically work this thing. read the manuel! press the * key to switch back and forth to vibrate, ring, and silent. your password is the last 4 digits of the phone number, and if you already changed it, remember it!!!!!!
as to free downloads, there are none. not for this phone. you have to pay either way, you can go to aol keyword, ask.com, google, or yahoo and will find nothing except that same stupid website with the four phones.....gets irritating.
but they gave you a manuel, so use it.....
no free nothin, verizon sucks

Is anyone able to change the font color on the LG4400? I can't get it to work on either my phone or my husbands.

Posted by: cathie on January 17, 2004 08:16 PM

For the vibe and ring setting, do this:
-Open your phone up
-locate the up and down arrow buttons on the side of your phone and press one of them.
-If you go all the way up it will be vibe & ring. If you just go down one it will be the highest ring volume without the vibe.

For font color do this:
-Settings
-display
-Number font
-Color

I hope this helps

I was wondering about a car charger too until I tried using the one I had for my previous LG TM510 by Verizon and what do you know it worked. So give it a try. It will save you some money.

Also I use to have a strong signal in the building where I work and now I keep seeing that 1X and my signal strength is only at 1 (is anyone else experiencing that). Can you change the phone to digital service if you are not using the Get It Now all the time.

Also, just a little rant i must post... if you could see how many of the same questions are on this page that are identical, makes you wonder if anyone really did read replies to anything on here.. sheesh... READ A LITTLE, it goes a long way! So now that that rant is over.. visit those sites...
My own little tips....
1)YES YOU DO NEED THE CABLE to upload anything
get the vx-10 model, it has a serial converter box on the wire, the other one doesn't work well with bitpim.
2)resize your pics for the phone.. bitpim is good... but not foolproof
3)The manual isn't great.. Do a search or just read the forums.. its likely you'll find an answer.. i keep finding out new stuff about this phone everytime I look around.

Last tip for midi files... edit them with a program called noteworthy composer.. shorten em... or cut and paste the melody.

In case anyone's intersted, there's a nifty car hand's free kit that charges, provides external speaker and mic, and an external antenna connection, all with just a plug in at the bottom. It's at: http://www.cellularaccessory.com/sghn0003401.html

Now, can anyone tell me where I can get a desk cradle that automatically charges and provides a headphone jack, so the headphone is active when the phone is plugged in? My old StarTEC had one, as do a number of other phones, Can'd find one on the Web for my LG4400B and wonder if there's one that works for this phone. Thanks!

"On Getting New Wallpaper for the LG 4400"
If you go on get it now, there is a program called Pictavison under the GET PIX category. Download the free demo of Pictavision. Then you can go to www.dotPhoto.com and you can set up a FREE account. There you can upload any picture you want. After you have uploaded pictures to an album, then go back to your phone. Go to the program pictavison and goto "Set Login" and set the login name and password that you registered on the website. You can just leave the Member ID blank. Then after you have entered these things, goto "My Albums" and you will be able to choose between your albums. Pick the one you want and then pick the wallpaper you want. After it has loaded click "ok" on your phone. Then click "Save to Wallpaper". After it says file saved, then you may exit Get It Now. Next, go to Menu, then settings, then display, and then screens. Now click on wallpaper and then there will be a list of all the wallpapers you can put as your backround. Yours will now be there because you have to press the "More" button on the bottom right of the screen. Then you need to go to downloaded and your wallpaper should be there. Click save and your wallpaper will then be set to what you want it to be. If anyone has any further questions please email me at flanny2006@yahoo.com

My buddy accidently locked my phone and I dont know the code. Does anyone have any advice as to how I can remedy this problem? Thanks

Posted by: Nate B on March 29, 2004 06:33 PM

My old StarTac allowed me to switch to analog manually. Can I do the same with the 4400? Often the phone stays in digital with only one reception bar and I can't make a call.

Posted by: Fred on March 31, 2004 02:17 PM

Nate,
It is usually the last 4 digits of your number. Unless you have changed it.

I just want to say thanks to all the wonderful people here who have gave of their time and effort to help those who need it. I also want to say a special thanks to the ones who gave info on wallpapers and etc. Especially the sms info it worked and it was sooo cool. I want you to know I actually sat here and read all this info and saved alot of stuff to my desk top. One more question though Does anybody know if they make it to where you can use your 4400 to go with your pda so you can surf the web as in a usb cable or something else maybe Thanks for your help. I will be going to radio shack for the usb cable :0) for my phone. Maybe it is just an adapter I would need for the viewsonic Pocket pc v-36 Which I love. Cost 300 but got 100 dollars off and has all that I need now. Just need to get to the web with it :0) God Bless, Debbie
I pray for and support our troops!

(E.g: 0000, 1234, 1111, or the last four digits of your cell phone number. I called Verizon who said that i have to completely reset the phone. I really dont want to reset my phone and lose everything. IF ANYONE KNOWS what i could do. email me @ bloodylips1@excite.com. THANKS THANKS.

I accidently put the security lock on & can't get it off. If it was changed how do you reset it?
Is it possible to block certain numbers from incoming calls, do you have to call & make arrangements?

I've unlocked my phone. i've tried all the combinations possible starting from 0000- until about 4000+. It took me 4 nights. Try it. It works.

Is there any other way to download ringtones or wallpapers other than going to get it now. Every othere kind of phone company you can just log onto the internet and download ringtones or wallpapers easily. With a better selection at that. I think that Verizon needs to do that also instead of just having get it now. But I still would like to know if there is any other way to download ringtones or wallpapers.

hey..i just got a new verizon LG VX7000 phone and i was wondering is there anyway to get WALLPAPERS? im kinda bored with the ugly ones that come on the phone..i want to download a few..for free or for around $1??is this possible??PLEASE HELP!

Posted by: Jamee on June 3, 2004 01:26 AM

Hey...you're talking about ringtones and wallpaper! You people are making it seem like the world is going to end if you don't get your effing ring tones. What ever happend to just having a phone to make calls, and get in touch with friends, and family, the tow-truck man, and whom ever else you need to reach? ? I have a Nextel, and I personally think it's one of the best phones out there, great reception, great features, but I could give two sh*ts aout tones and wallpaper. JESUS!

Posted by: Kuuraaaa on June 7, 2004 12:20 PM

Couldn't agree more Jamie. WTH kind of list is this??? I swear 50 people must have asked the same exact question!
Get it Now is awesome. I can't believe everyone is whining about it. Sprint makes you pay $15/month for a similar service if you sign up for it.
At least with GET IT NOW you only pay for something when you want it.

New phone lgvx3200, changed lock code, have tried all possible combinations, how do I bypass lock code.

Posted by: missa on July 4, 2004 09:28 AM

This phone is supposed to be a newer feature phone? It's a piece of **** Dosn't come with any games. You can't change the wallpaper. It says,coming soon on the website. Why not have the feature available when the product comes out?
And of course, anything you do that doesn't come with the phone, costs you. When do we get something without having to pay for it?
I can't wait to switch cellular providers.

No you can not get ring tones from other carriers, Verizon has a lot to choose from go to the web site at Get It Now and look at all of them. Sony, music box mod tones just a few, plus I have the games I wanted not the one that came with the older phones.

Posted by: margaret on July 22, 2004 05:13 PM

I got this phone and it is awesome. And who cares about the wallpaper as long as the phone makes phone calls tahts all im woried about its not like u sit there stairing at it like a computer screen.

how do i completely reset an lg vx4400 becouse i have locked it and the last 4 digits of my number doesnt work

Posted by: adam on August 27, 2004 07:35 PM

I have a VX4400 since Nov. 2003. I love the phone it was working great until Mid July after I moved to Florida. The problem started intermitently, I would get voice mail when I had the phone clipped on my belt. It did not ring or vibrate when someone would call. I would call voice mailers back normally a lot of times they would say I've called you many times and you don't answer. Well at first I thought it was the new area, I never had this problem New York. Eventually the phone no longer made any sounds, ie. keypad tones,ring the only way I knew a call was coming in was the red light would blink. If I answered I could not hear the caller but they could hear me. Then I noticed the dispaly "CAR KIT" on the LCD screen I could not find any reference to it in the instruction manual on how to turn it off. So I called Verizon Tech line and was told it was a software glitch and to take it into a Verizon service station which I did. After waiting for over an hour they told me there was no software glitch and I would have to leave it for service. The next day when I picked it up the technician told me it must have been dropped into water as it had liquid inside and that caused the problem. They said they dried it out and it worked but that my 1 year warranty was void. It worked for a couple of days and then back to " car kit " by the way it works fine if I plug my headset into it of course it doesen't ring so it's still rather useless. I when back to the service center and they would not help me, they insist it was wet or dropped in liquid. I have had that phone in it's leather case on my belt or clipped to my dashboard in my van it never got wet--- anyone know what I can do or who to call to get it fixed or replaced? Verizon has been no help.
