Adding Your Own Ringtones to LG Banter

[Leviisabeast77]

The "fylesystem" tab doesn't come up on my screen. Do I have to update it?

[SurgamRex]

When I add a new ringtone (mp3) it shows up on the BitPim list but not on my phone. It only will work if I name the file one of the original names of a ringtone on my phone and then "Overwrite" that ringtone... any suggestions? Turn my phone off and back on, nothing shows up.

[lostxxforgotten]

I can't exactly find the mysounds.dat file. :/

[TheUnforgettableFire]

@lostxxforgotten

it is actually lg_mysound.dat on my phone, still in the dload folder

[smumdax]

There is one thing that isn't mentionned ANYWHERE you look for help on this.... the cellphone has to be SHUT OFF work this to work.

[IonicRipper]

doesnt work for me, no filesystem

[southpar9]

If you it is taking forever to open the folder, then that means you have to download the LG usb modem driver and install that. Once that is installed open up bitpim and plug in phone. Once the phone is plugged in, click detect phone and no pop up should appear. Then you go to Edit - settings and change the phone to voyager. Click ok. Now you would be able to follow the video.

[taranrollercoaster]

This is gonna sound dumb . But , I'm getting this phone in a while , I know , it's old and all but I just want a slide phone . How do I connect it to my computer? Is there a USB cable in the box? Thanks . [=

[SkoogahMonster]

Are you also able to change alert tones for text messages through BitPim or is it exclusively ringtones?

[kubankhaos]

Also if your brew is empty and it just has a folder that says Mod. go down and start at media folder not brew. then lk and ms. its probably empty and has one file in it. just open your folder and drag and drop the music file into there. and go up to the arrow pointing at the phone. NOt the arrow pointing away from the phone but the second one. Check all of them except the last one and push ok. disconnect. open phone. sound/audio settings. set ringtone. [Your song]. thats how I did it.

[insaneshadow85]

@kubankhaos This actually worked for me. Thanks, it helpe me out a lot.

[kubankhaos]

I found out how to make Filesystem to show. After hours of configuration this is how you do it. Open BitPim. Click on View. Check View Filesystem. Done

[kubankhaos]

how do you get filesystem to show? all drivers instaled bitpim installed. phone plugged in.

[rapeisbad222]

restart your phone afterword...

[avin172]

For those who don't know, if you use an SD card, the mp3 file will NOT be added into the ringtones list automatically on the lg banter. that's the reason for this video.

[sly13246]

If you cant see filesystem click "view" then "view filesystem" its set to off by default

[pokemonXD1]

OK RESPOND TO THIS SOMEONE

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG FILE SYSTEM WONT SHOW UP FOR ME!!!

[donv2420]

My usb cord if plugged from my phone to the computer and still, everytime i try to detect it it says "failed to auto-detect the port to use. I couldn't detect any candidate ports". Any helps please ?

[TheWunderWalrus]

When I click filesystem, and the plus on the folder, nothing comes up .Help?

[TheWunderWalrus]

Filesystem doesnt even show up for me..

[Yoguy85]

@TheWunderWalrus click view at the top then click view filesystem

[EvyoneKenobi]

Tried it an still can't get it to work! It keeps saying " COM5 Could Not Open Port: (2, ' Create File', The System Could Not Find The File Specified. ' )

[theapplefan77]

get better at typing

[spiffynibbelz193]

My phone isn't being detected. Im using a USB and everything, but nothing is working, bitpim wont detect it. help...?

[MultiAnthony96]

i want to upload pics to my facebook but every time i plug my phone into the PC it just charges my phone what do i do??

[raph688]

@MultiAnthony96 Go to menu, press 9, 6, 1,1 ^^P

[BaBySnIpA]

Every time I hit "detect phone" it says no phone detected or recognized.

[GameRatedRKO]

i have a usb cable but no micro SD card...do i need one for this to work? thanx for ur help every1

[andreeanneouellet]

Ok just to make sure everybody gets that clear too... After disconnecting the phone (if you succeeded in seeing your new ringtones), if you wanna do these steps again in order to get new ringtones on your phone you ALWAYS need to start right back at the beginning, and this includes going into dload, deleting lgmysound.dat, etc. (the file reappears after restarting the phone). Because you won't be able to see your ringtones if you don't. Got it figured out on another forum! Thx this is great!

[damianson]

@andreeanneouellet hey just picked up a lg banter.IF i take it in /if anything is wrong with it. will they detect id deleted/put my own stuff in? does it load onto a sd card i put in or on its onboard memory?

[andreeanneouellet]

@damianson Not sure what your question is but... yes it's onboard memory that we're talking about and I don't think Bitpim cares whether your "ID" is okay or not. If you can reach it and change it, then no problem.

[andreeanneouellet]

Ok, so I got it to work with one ringtone on my phone... but then when I want to add more, it doesn't work anymore! I restarted the phone and BitPim a couple of times now, and still doesn't work... Is there something I'm missing? Thanks to help!

[Chipmunkmasterboi]

can u do this with a micro SD card?

[igottagetmycam]

@Chipmunkmasterboi yes we got an adapter from radio shack for $10 or so super easy and no need for Bitpim . how much simpler could it be?

[0sugarmarie]

do you know how to add backgrounds and banners?

[XOMoonlightXO]

Too bad I don't have a USB :/

[donv2420]

I downloaded BitPim but it won't open. It says ...

"This application has failed to start because MSVCP71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem."

help please.

[misterbombay]

@donv2420 : I had the same problem but if you google MSVCP71.zip you will find places on the net to download that missing file. When you find it, open it up, tgrab the DLL and put it in the bitpim folder located in myprograms and it should work. Worked for me..

[robinguy16]

actually it wont even detect my phone

[robinguy16]

I cant find filesystem on BitPim

[PwnageEffect]

@robinguy16 you have to go up to the top and hit show filesystem or something

[AliceLivesAgain]

Got it working, thanks for the walkthrough!

[AliceLivesAgain]

Ok, I'm trying this again, didn't work before. How do I save it? It still has the changes I made before on BitPim, but they didn't change on my phone. (all the default ringtones I deleted are still on my phone) When I click send data to phone, it gives me an error. I need help! Just to know how to actually save it to my phone.

[itsChyniee]

thaaaaaank you sooooooooooooooooo much !.... it worked !! :D

[poolegod]

You may need LGUSBModemDriver_WHQL_Eng_Ver_­4.8.1.exe as a driver for the phone. I did. All is working now.

[AliceLivesAgain]

@poolegod I've tried installing this but it comes up with a disk error..

[AliceLivesAgain]

@AliceLivesAgain Got it working BTW, thanks for the walkthrough.

[MichaelUifalusi]

once youve done as he did, unplug your phone, THEN TURN YOUR PHONE OFF THEN ON this will configure all the ringtones youve entered. enjoy

btw, it seems like mysounds.dat appears everytime you plug in your phone, so make sure you delete it every time you plug in your phone :)

[MichaelUifalusi]

ok i goot this to work perfectly, im gonna try clarify any problems

once youve dwnloaded bitpim, boot it up and plug in your phone using the usb cable (or purchase 1 from the store, im sure theyre cheap). click on find phone, itll be busy for a bit, and say that it found "other phone" on com 5 or somthing similar. now go to edit, settings, and select lg voyager as your phone, click ok, then do wxactly like he does above it should work. Also the mysounds.dat file, is located at dload

[kurnous34]

@MichaelUifalusi had the same issue, using this method worked for me thx

[AliceLivesAgain]

Ok I got it to work, it wasn't working before because i had my micro SD card in the phone.. anyways, how do I save it now? do i press send phone data? it didnt work for me..

[AliceLivesAgain]

So I choose Voyager and i'm on filesystem, but when I click the + it wont work..

[MisterKirkby]

Well...the program doesn't even detect my phone, so that's lame.

[longmaniac]

i didnt had the usb thing that came with the phone i just got a SD card :S

[MichaelUifalusi]

@longmaniac yea same prob as you, just run over to bst buy and ask for an lg banter usb cable, and problem solved :)

[queenybee522]

@longmaniac How did bitpim recognize your phone with just a SD card? I don't have the usb cord but I do have a SD card.

[colourhercrazii]

thanks for the video, but i have an issue- when i went into filesystem, it said "failed to auto-detect the port to use. I couldn't detect any candidate ports." ... haha, what do i do?! D:

[muwaahaahaaaaa]

it doesnt let me put mp3s on up i can still overide the other shitty ringtones and use em :D Thanks dude!!!

[Floodd21]

i downloaded bitpim but for some reason it's missing a dll file MSVCP71.dll. is there anywhere i can fid it ?

[theDRUMMERDUDE100]

nevermind



[theDRUMMERDUDE100]

where do i download bitpim

[ashleybrown013]

does it work on macs?

[ravenology]

Hey, thank you for the video. It seems simple, but I don't have anything that says "File System" under mine. What should I do about that? Is there something you did before the start of the video or when you plugged in the phone? Please get back to me if you can.

[WHYDOILIVEINABOX]

@ravenology Umm menu bar File edit. . . . do View --> view file system.

[bouli655]

is there another prog that i can use with my lg banter because bitpim doesn't see my phone?

[Tylerpwnsyourmom]

Bro, I don't know how to connect to PC. I don't have a USB cable.. It didn't come with it...

[GamerLifeTV]

...Or you can just go to myxer[.]com & type your number...Lol!

NOT SPAMMING - REALLY WORKS

[coolbikerdudes]

@GamerLifeTV u need internet thho and that cost money and this is freee

[helives95]

how do you do this with a USB cable since the settings require a COM port?

[vulllcan95]

It says something like "Failed to Auto Detect port use, I couldn't detect any candidate ports." When I cliked the plus folder in FileSystem?

[theophania1984]

Sooo for wtv reason I thought I could rid the factory tones, which I could. I can still view them on my cell although there's no sound, I can live with that but......my first mp3 file trans was successful and none after??? They appear in bitpim as though they're there but aren't in my phone. Help please????? I should have just overwritten the existing tones but now I cant even do that, cause they no longer appear in bitpim. PLZ HELP :o|

[lucasjpot]

When i plug in my phone it cannot recognize it.. suggestion?

[rockpizzle]

sweet vid!!thanks alot that made things work great!!awesome tutorial

[TheVgstudio]

ok please someone ansewr this i get ringtones off of thumbplay there sent to my phone but i cant add them to my ringers list and its an lg banter i have

[conancarlick]

I got the ringtones on bitpim, but it's not on my phone??? Also the crappy tstock ones that I deleted are off my phone???Any ideas? Thanks

[blastbeator]

@conancarlick probably your ringtone file format. try mp3

[HATEL0VE]

yeah how did u get your window to randomly change colour? awesome

[ClayDC3]

nice. but how did you get your window color to change randomly throughout the video?

[fknkewl]

The video lacks a few informations, though this is easily solved using a little search on google though

Big thanks!

[jowko111]

it wont let me delete mysound.dat

[Jiggwagga]

@jowko111 instead of adding ringtones, right click a crappy one and overwrite it with the ringtone you want. You don't even have to bother with mysound.dat

[conancarlick]

This works for Telus? On Bitpim, I dont see a "filesystem"? Why not? What version do you have? Does it matter? Do I have to have USB and LG drivers installed?

[fknkewl]

@conancarlick Press view -> View filesystem

=)

[goomba008]

For those who can't get the ringtones to show up, you have to delete lg_mysound.dat, in /dload in the filesystem structure. Then once your phone is unplugged restart it, the file will be re-created and the new files will show up in the ringtones.

Also for me bluetooth didn't work (dir structure wouldn't show up), you have to get a usb cable and choose "USB Device - Vendor LG Electroncs, Product VX Series Phone (Direct USB connection), (Interface Diagnostics Interface)" for the Com port.

[lesvideodemarie]

ma cell phone dont see my new rigtoon file pleese helps my ;;;;

[goomba008]

@lesvideodemarie See my other comment mate

[Gram905]

Any way to do this using micro Sd/adapter ?

[j5ritzema]

FYI - you may have to restart your phone for the new file to show up when you try to select it as your ringtone

[rayhab]

I don't have a cable, is there a way to do this using bluetooth?

[MommaDrag]

I still cannot figure out how to add wallpapers to my LG Banter. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks...

[triple835]

What's the name of the song in the background?

[MommaDrag]

Can someone tell me how to upload .bmp wallpapers to my LG Banter cell phone? Do I use BitPim or what? help please...

[triple835]

I didn't pay attention watching this, but found out later, you have to detect phone, and select LG-VX10000 (Voyager).

[gomerk5]

i cant get i, it wont stay as voyager, it keeps reading other cdma phone, and i dont have a filesystem tab, what should i do?

[OrkyBorkyGorky]

@gomerk5 you go to View in the Toolbar at the top and select "View Filesystem".

[Arch2110]

excuse me. - BitPim -

[Arch2110]

Okayyyyyy... I added another file and now the first one as well as the newly added ones do not exist as ringtone options anymore however they added files do show as being in the folder under the BitMip tool.

Anyone???

[Arch2110]

Got it!! Had to turn the phone off and restart it!

DJSkewer - excellent instructional video - Thank You So Much!!!

[Arch2110]

I have same problem a highbrowmedia - anything I copy does not show up - does anyone have an answer -

Highbrow, did you get it worked out?

[goomba008]

@Arch2110 See my other comment

[JaferDeluxe]

do you have to use a usb cable or can you use the bluetooth?

[DJSkewer]

i use a usb cable, but bluetooth might work. i do not know for sure.

[igottagetmycam]

@DJSkewer hey great video works great just put a hole album on with one click well i just dragged and dropped from itunes. it took a few minutes and my banter restarted after transfer but just like that its there! sweet video ty very much...

[vulllcan95]

@JaferDeluxe The USB cable SHOULD be the cord of your charger.

[igottagetmycam]

@JaferDeluxe what the hell?!! just go to radio shack and get a micro sd adapter for about ten bucks!! we got two different versions in one package. take your phones card out stick it in the adapter and off you go... follow the prompts on your PC and click and drag files to the micro card. limewire files, itunes, frostwire.. So easy and no downloading Bitpim or anything else

[highbrowmedia]

Okay, everything opens and copies fine, but when I go back to my phone, anything that I copy isn't showing up. Also, my ringtones that I previously purchased thru Alltel are no longer there. what's wrong?

[DJSkewer]

i have absolutely no idea....

[Thundermann]

@highbrowmedia try turning the phone off then on again

[tyreearmy]

@highbrowmedia well iight dis is at happended to me wat u need to do is after u copied the music to ur phone wait 5 minutes and turn off ur phone and and then turn it back on it should be there.

[boredom1106]

@highbrowmedia possibly click reset it works for the Enve like that

[5buglets]

Thanks for the info Now, Is the file we need to delete called: "sd_sound.dat" or "my_mp3.dat" or "lg_mysoundsize.dat" or "lg_mysound.dat" or "lg_default_sound.dat" All these were found in the file "dload"

[5buglets]

got it.  It is the lg_mysound.dat file. This fix Works great!

[GTStevo]

Thanks for uploading this. Really helped. Another thing you may want to add is that "Filesystem" is not present when you install BitPim.

You have to click on View --> View Filesystem.

Is there a way to sync it up so that I can view the calendar on my computer?

[DJSkewer]

for me i didnt have to do that. and i dont think there is a way but you can try and find one :)

[mrcooms23]

Another question. If it doesn't work when we try to expand the file structure by clicking on the +

I am receiving "Failed to auto-detect the port to use. I couldn't detect any candidate ports."

[DJSkewer]

if it says it failed to detect, just keep trying and make sure you keep resetting the phone to the voyager.

[nathanhawkins777]

I had to restart my computer sometimes when that happened

[aves2011]

I had a question...

what is the file we are supposed to delete and where on earth would I find that?

I have searched everywhere and cant seem to find it.

thanks :)

[DJSkewer]

i dont know what it is anymore, but its something like mysounds.dat or something

[moetocool]

@DJSkewer i found my_mp3.dat and sd_sound.dat

which one is it

[masterstev112233]

@aves2011

[FILASIHIYproductions]

do u have to connect your phone to your computer?

[DJSkewer]

yes. with a usb cable. if you get a power cord for the lg env touch you can get it for the banter. (Same power cables)

[xxhateplowxx]

i dont know why everyone has problems and has to use this prog.. i just move the mp3's to phone and set them.. easy as that. i just dont get why someone wants to go through all them steps. play with your phone abit you will get it.

and yes i have the Banter.

[Antdawg419]

If you have a LG Banter then tell how do you move them to the phone? Looks impossible to me.

[OrkyBorkyGorky]

@xxhateplowxx You can put mp3s on your phone to listen to them, but that doesn't allow you to use them as ringtones.

[coolcat8412]

you for got to tell them to delete the my sound folder....

[DJSkewer]

Thanks, i forgot about that.
