LG PM 225 Data Cable.

[Unregistered]

Does anyone know where I could find a data cable for the LG PM 225. I've been searching all day and have come up empty handed. If anyone could give me information on where I could buy a data cable(The data cable used to download ringtones, not connect to the internet)I'd be very appreciative. Thanks.

If you go to futuredial.com, the site has software that is compatible with the phone and a cable - #50. You can purchase the software at CompUSA but the cable has to be purchased seperately. The software allows you to edit your phone book, calender and edit photos to download to the phone. No ringtone abilities yet. The site offers free upgrades to software.

Datapilot.com has a cable, LG #3, that works but no supporting software yet. The cable can be purchased at Best Buy but you have to buy the universal package which costs $80.

Datapilot just issued an upgrade that incorporated the PM225.

Amazon.com has some fairly decent deals on the Datapilot software and cable kit. Also Discountcell.com

You can manage your phone book, save your pictured over onto your PC but that's about it. No ringtone capability as of yet. And no transfer of pictured from PC to phone.

Well I got the cable off of Ebay for about 12 dollars and that works just fine. So that was a great deal. The software is what is hard to find that works with this phone. I have tried DataPilot, Bitpim, some third rate stuff, and even the PC Sync software that LG uses that only supports about 7 of its own phones. Are there other software packages out that that may support this phone?

I got my data cable from Ebay...username I bought from is: mobilesandpdas

the cable & s&h was $11.98. I ordered on Friday and got it on Tuesday... not bad ... he gives you the link to download the USB drivers. Where can I get the software now... not bitpim (pos)

[Unregistered]

I picked up a cable from mobilepandas too.

BitPim sorta works with the phone, but its not something I recommend unless you really know what you are doing.

DataPilot really only handles retrieving images and updating contacts.

I'll see if I can figure out the rest for BitPim to work... could take some time.

[Unregistered]

I know they're almost the only game out there, but don't buy DataPilot. Susteen's support system sucks, they don't answer questions, their customer service is for the dogs, and I'm still waiting for an RMA number.

See my blog about this for more information.

[Unregistered]

[Unregistered]

i was wondering the same thing cuz i just got this phone but no internet servcie aviable so i got the link and was wonder what software work for the ringtones

[bill123mp]

I can't vouch for it working properly, since I haven't received it yet. But it sure sounds good to me. CellCables.com sells a data cable for the LG PM225 in a kit with a program CD for $30. Make sure you get the right kit for your phone and with the right software for your computer's operating system. The software does a few other useful things besides downloading pictures from your phone to your PC such a transferring phone lists. Good Luck! --Bill Rodgers, Mt Pleasant, SC

I remember there was a program that transfers everything from your cellphone to the PC, and it was written by a lot of cellphone users, basically free. I forgot what it's called.

Wow that was fast, I just found it.

This worked on my friend's cell phone, I have to wait until I get my cheap ebay bought usb data cable.

did it work with PM-225 phone? This model is not listed on the compatabilliity list. I select "other" in the settings menu and my phone data is still not detected. The software compatibility list is misleading

just incase anyone was wondering, BitPim does work on the LG PM225

i have one, it works on mine. with BitPim, i can download (from the phone) pictures, wallpapers, SMS, phonebook, and calender (which i can then edit on the computer). i can download (to the phone) custom wallpapers and custom ringtones. so it does what i want.

i got the data cable cheap off of ebay from 'moblilesandpdas', you will need to download and install the drivers first ofcourse, they are at http://www.portwireless.com/downloads/ it is:

LG CDMA Phones (Verizon, etc):

www.portwireless.com/downloads/LG-Drivers.zip

install dirvers and then plug in the data cable and it should find the drivers.

then just download BitPim www.bitpim.org to download the latest version and install that. run bitpim and tell it what model phone you have (PM225) and that should be it!

hope this helps someone

Thanks for the info.

I've heard that BitPim will work with this phone: http://www.bitpim.org/

Anyone tried it?

A Sprint Mgmr. suggested Radioshack is a good source.

THAT'S THE CABLE...

BITPIM IS CONFUSING AND IT TAKES A WHILE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT.
YOU HAVE TO INSTAL THE DRIVER FIRST AND THEN BITPIM WILL BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE YOUR PHONE. HOWEVER, YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY CONFIGURE THE PROGRAM BY TELLING WHICH PHONE AND WHAT PORT IT IS PLUGGED INTO. THEN IT WILL DETECT IT. SOMETIMES IT DETECTS IT WITHOUT MANUAL CONFIGURATION, BUT IN ORDER TO SEND OR RECIEVE DATA FROM THE PHONE TO THE COMPUTER OR VICE VERSA, YOU NEED TO MANUALLY CONFIGURE AND LET IT DETECT IT. THATS PRETTY MUCH ALL YOU NEED KNOW, THE REST IS EASY ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT

So I took some sweet pictures at a crazy club with my phone. They pics are on the camera of my LG PM-225. BitPim works and I can download phonebooks, calendars, and <i>only those pictures saved to my phone</i>. When I save the desired pictures to my phone, they decrease in quality (from high to low).

How can I download the high quality pictures from the camera?



p.s. This is a good thread btw. I couldn't find software to talk to my LG until I stumbled across this forum. Way to go guys.

Perfect, I had to manually install the drivers from the specific location. Then used BitPim Now everything is working excellent. Thanks for the link.

Someone suggested this site for getting USB drive for the PM-225:

www.portwireless.com/downloads/LG-Drivers.zip

but that site is no longer valid. Anyone know where to get the software driver only (and preferably freeware)?

Thanks!

They are still availble from portwireless, they just have a different URL and filename since there are now two driver versions depending on which LG phone you have.
