EnV user says

Simplistic says, I have used your method but the message went as text not the picture mesage hence phone never gave me option to save it as ringtone. And I have sort song that can be used as ringtone. Can you please tell me how to send ringtone from computer via email to cell phone number as picture message.

Emmanuel,

From what I have heard, the ringtones are NOT transferable, no matter what carrier. MP3 files are, but not ring tones. They are stored in separate places on the phone.

dl bitpim. it is a program that will open up the enV lg vx 9900.. you can then add all or any part of your cpu mp3 files.. even as ringers if you want to

melissa says

I’ve had my enV for about 3 weeks and I never charge it while I sleep - only while I’m right next to the phone and now, when I plug it in to charge I have to jiggle the charger for it to start charging/keep charging. I bought my phone non-upgrade(retail price) from Best Buy and I really like it despite this problem. What should I do?

@ Krista
I don’t know the return policy, but Best Buy might still let you exchange it for another unit since it is defective. The warranty might run out after 30 days so you should head over there ASAP and see what options they can offer. The next option would be to contact LG’s warranty for a replacement.

Sounds like either the charger or the port is defective or damaged. Take it in and have them look at it for you. I know when I got mine from the Verizon store, I had 30 to try it and take it back if I did not like it. I’m sure they will work with you if it is broken, especially if it is only 3 weeks old. Good luck!

Can anyone please tell me how to upload videos from the enV to the computer? I have the cables and everything, i just dont know what software to use. Its my friends phone, and he said the cables just came with the phone… sans any program to upload stuff.
Any ideas?

get bitpim… you can then use it via usb cable for the 9900 and send as many MP3;s that you want with the music essentions package and maybe with out it.. just sync it and BTW Bitpim does operat with lg vx9900 enV easily.. very user friendly… i am trying to get games now with no luck…

Well, I finally got my Orange EnV after thinking about it for 4 months. I got it on November 1st. I’m enjoying it alot. It took some time getting use to the QWERTY because it was the first phone I had used and owned myself that had one. but after that, it was a breeze. The only thing I’m not fond of is that if its in your pocket without keyguard, it will make random calls because the front buttons are so touch sensitive. and its froze once when I was reciving a txt and shut off but turned back on (And that was the 2nd day I ever owned it too). I’m impressed, because i can txt alot faster, but i wish it was more like a PDA for the price I payed for it. but I am happy. :) and all my friends are jealous. heh.

You can save songs as ring tones if you want and here’s how to do it…

First if you try and do this with a full 3 minute song you won’t be able to do it. When you email it Verizon will reject it so you have to cut the size of the clip down using Nero or something similar to that or you can find short clips of songs all over the internet. Next you have to email the file from your computer to your phone. I found that Yahoo! mail is the fastest as far as the time it takes from when you send it until it reaches your phone. The address you send it to is your phone number with no dashes @vzwpix.com (ie 4125551212@vzpix.com. Once you receive the picture message on your phone select “options” on the bottom of the screen and when the options menu pops up select “save as ringtone.” The next screen allows you to name the file. After you do so select “OK” and it will be saved with your ringtones. You can now go to “menu” –> “settings & tools” –> “sounds settings” –> “call sounds” –> “call ringtone” –> “all calls” and pick your ringtone and select “OK.” Hope this helps you out! I know when I had my LG VX8300 I called about a problem I was having and I was telling the guy at the call center about it and he was like “WOW I didn’t know you could do that!” So I’m not sure how many people know how to do it but that’s how!

RB: Having problems with the phone shutting off for no aparant reason…

I am having that same problem, and it has been going on for two months now. I have called to report this issue every occasion to make sure it is on file that I have reported the problem. I recently spoke to a customer service rep. who is sending me a new phone and should get here today. I am afraid that the next one will do the same thing, i think it is a flaw in the technology. My husband had the same phone and it turned off on him often as well. if i knew then what i know now…lol, i’d choose another phone =(

I preface this by saying that the inevitable answer is probably simple, I’m just an idiot. So I’ve had my orange enV for a few weeks. I figured it was time to get more memory so I bought a Scandisk 2GB microSD 3-in-1 card. I was trying to move music from my computer onto my phone, but it’s saying that it’s write-protected. I’ve done all the things I can think of to undo that with no success. Suggestions?
