LG VX4500 Questions

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

Hi folks,
Got 2 LG vx4500 phones recently. Nice phones.
Needing help on the following:

- Banner setting : Set banner on wife's phone. Works fine.
Set banner on my phone. Does not
work. Displays the "Verizon Wirelss" banner
Went to the Verizon store, tech
says it has to do with software. Didn't explain
why wiffe's phone works but mine
doesn't.

- Wallpaper setting: Wife loves all the pretty wallpapers. I
prefer a plain white back ground.
No setting in phone for "no background"
I understand I can load wallpapers
into the phone but that I would need some sort
of data cable and software. Please
advise on what/where to obtain such cable and software
and recommendations on its usage.

- Tones Wife and I prefer tones that are
professional. The default ring tones are fine but we'd like
something even more subtle.
GetIt(tm) only has those music tones. Any recommendation
on a place to obtain more
professional tones?

Please post your advice here. Thanks in advance.

Isn't it terrible what people give away for free? You did of course
actually read the web page:

http://bitpim.sourceforge.net/

Note: you need to use the 0.7 development releases if you have
any phone other than the LG VX4400).

How about "Edit Voice Mailbox #" shown on page 77 of the manual?

With my phone, a Motorola v60s, I have the number for voice mail in the
phone book with the number entered as *86ppxxxx - where pp represents
two pauses, and xxxx is the pin number. This is not an original idea of
mine, I got it from this forum.

Now all you have to do is figure out where the symbol for pause is for
your phone. I don't even remember where I found it for my phone, so I
can't help with that.

Nope. When entering the voice mail number, the VX4500 only allows
inputting 0-9, *, and #. And it won't let you change the entry mode to
text. Any other ideas?

I just tried this on my 4500 and found the same as Bob. The text entry mode
will not change from 123 mode via the right soft key (toggle key). Is there
another setting somewhere else that might be controlling this? My default
text entry mode is T9,

No luck. It's in '123' mode and the softkey won't change it. My guess
is they changed the firmware to prevent people from storing their voice
mail password.
