Puting Music On Your Lg Chocolate Via Mac Os X & Bitpim

[Unregistered]

Use at your own risk, it worked for me and my MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.4.8.

The biggest issue with puting files on your LG Chocolate phone is that the phone goes into "powersave" mode while you are browsing it in BitPim 0.9.09. TO resolve this issue,

1. you must go to your LG menu, and press "0".
2. When asked for the security code, press "000000"
3. In the "services" menu, press "0" (This will bring up the "battery test" menu.)
4. select option 1 "backlight setting"
5. select option 1 "Yes"

after selecting yes, just hit end to go out to your main screen, or hit clear until you get to your main screen.

This basically makes your Chocolate phone stay "awake" when idle.

Connect via your preferred method (I use my usb data cable) and make sure that is the port option you have selected in your preferences in BitPim.

Then edit your phone files how you're supposed to be able to, via the interface.

To add music files, the easiest way to do so is to select the "filesystem" in the left side of the main BitPim window. If you can not see it then go to the view menu and make sure "view filesystem" is checked, if it isn't then select it.

click the arrow next to the "/" folder to extend the folder.

drag and drop your mp3 files to the "mymusic" folder.

takes 2-3 minutes to load a song. and voila.

are you getting duplicate files in your chocolate when you drag drop your mp3's onto the micro sd?

You may have to turn your phone off and back on for new songs to load.

I don't have an SD card. So, no.

so you can only store a limited amount of mp3 songs on the chocolate....

maybe 10?

Yes, however, I have an iPod. So it's no big deal to me how much I can store on the phone. I was just telling people how it worked for me, for those who want to make their LG Chocolate phone work with BitPim and Mac OS X.

BTW, i'm posting as I play around with the phone.

If you leave it sit idle for too long, you will have backtrack a little bit, i.e. disconnect the usb cable, close bitpim, and open it again, reconnect cable.

And, when you turn your phone back off and on, you will have to go back into te service menu and do that all over again because the option resets to the default "powersave" mode when you turn the phone off.

and it does take more than a few minutes to load a song, I apologize. It depends on the size of the file though, of course.
