humm... reformat the card and put it back into the phone... then try again

 

Anyone else have an idea's? When I try to move files on to the miniSD card for the phone it says it is write protected. I can't format it or anything, I'm at a loss...

 

maybe just call LG directly and see what they say... i know with motorola, they were really helpful.

 

depending on the internet access on package on you phone you can upload the ringtone from a web site..

Here is what I do

#1 go here Free Nokia Themes, Sony Ericsson Themes, Free ringtones, Mobile Themes, Mobile Downloads and find the ringtone you want

#2 go here Phone Uploader and Upload the ringtone to the site. (it will give you a code remember it)

#3 with your phone browser go here Quick Jump and input the code do download the ringtone/file

url for #3 is http://rumkin.com/tools/sprint/jump.php

 

Not trying to download ringtones, the phone has a built in MP3 player, but I can only download songs from Telus's website which is terrible. I would like to put some of my own music on the phones microSD card, but when I try it says "write protected".

 

I just seen this on the Telus site


** The LG8100 offers integrated Bluetooth wireless support for hands-free headsets, car kits and modems. However, the software used in the LG 8100 available in Canada from LG Electronics does not support the transfer of data files.

 

Yeah, I figured as much...Just thought I'd ask around to see if anyone knew any "other" ways of getting music on the phone...

 

how are you connecting the card to the computer? Through an adapter or what?

make sure the adapter doesn't have anything funny on it. Otherwise, format the card with disk management and then try again into the phone and format it with the phone's's file system. See if you get anywhere.

lock the card with the switch insert it...see what happens, then unlock the card and try again.

 

I am using a Canon 380 printer to read the card via my laptop.

 

ih you have the cable to hook the phone up to the computer you can try this program Bitpim I have used it on a few other cell phones that were locked.
