LG chocolate help.

[crudemood]

Okay guys I'm really at the end of my patience with this phone, if anyone could help me out.

I have a LG white chocolate and it comes with a usb cable so you can connect it to the computer, but mine isnt working.. it says it can't read the phone. I've already downloaded the music backup software so i could possibly transfer files onto it. is there something i'm doing wrong?

And can we explain to me what the Bluetooth feature does for the phone?

sincerely,
CONFUSED.

Sorry ,,,clueless on the phone stuff... did it come with some software cd??? are you atleast getting an unknown USB device in your tray???

[slipknotpsycho]

take screenshots of every screen it shows when you connect your phone.. that'd help alot...

(btw to screen shot, incase you don't know PrntScrn then go to paint and select paste, save as JPG)

[crudemood]

Well, it says.

For about two seconds it says "Scanning for phones..." then it says :

There was a problem connecting to your phone. Please ensure that your phone is on and set for accept for USB connection.

|CONNECT AGAIN| |EXIT|

No it didnt exactly come with software. Was it supposed to? The sales guy told me to download the software from the website.

ive got a chocolate, even with no drivers windows should see it as removable media, like a flashdrive so you can move mp3s/pics to use as ringtones etc.

i would get rid of any software you put on and see if you can use it as a basic removable drive......the phones screen should go orange and say "USB do not remove" or somthing.....and it should show up as a new drive in "my computer" along side yor c drive etc.

USB 1/2.0 should make no difference.....if using usb 1 you might get a windows message saying "this device can perform faster" thats all.

make sure you plug the lead into the pc, then plug the phone in (with the flip closed)

hope that helps

try any other USB outlets if you have any...

[crudemood]

okay.. i figured it out, the site which slip provided me was correct.. the whole driver thing.

The CRUCIAL step that i missed was to enable the USB connection on my phone... silly me. thanks for all your help.

thanks all!
