I’ve heard of that Chipset, but as to whether if I know it works or not I cannot say. I have read about folks having issues with the cables they’re getting off of ebay. And I believe it is those cables that do not have the box in the middle of the cable that people are having problems with. Maybe one of the veterans here may have some better intel for ya but my suggestion to you would be to get either one of the following cables:

 

FutureDial #49, not the #19 as you may have seen on the internet, the #19 got replaced with a cable much like the you have now.

Datapilot DPA-CU24

Or the Mobile Kit from Verizon.

Ohhhh!!!! I understand clearly so I must have a newer cable that is much newer the older one that you are talking about also I saw on eBay there is OEM serial cable for this partuclar phone. Thanks for telling me about this partuclar cable, My newer one uses Silicon Technology CP2101 chipset after I pried the USB end cover off and remove the PC board since the chip was located on the bottom side so I had to do it and turn over and examine the chipset -- it is a very tiny chip!

That is all I can tell you :)

That would be a no on the blue light and yes on a box in the middle. From what I’ve read on the net you need the box in the middle. Future Dial now makes a cable specifically for the VX3200 and that would be their #49 cable. Check it out on futuredial.com. Or if you have a Verizon Wireless store near you give them a call, they should have the kit for the VX3200.

Anubis,

May I ask you a question -- does the cable that came with the mobile office kit have a blue light when you plug the cable into USB port? Does it have a small box in middle of cable?

My cable does not have a box in middle just plain black cable and one end that is USB end have a blue light that comes on when you plug it inot USB cable. I have LG VX3200 phone too.

Using Bitpim 0.7.34 for Windows. The cable is from the Verizon Mobile Office Kit.

 

Ok, Bitpim will connect to my phone, read the phone book properly however doesn’t read the wallpaper or ringtones correctly. First of all, I’m not exactly sure what Bitpim is looking at for wallpaper and ringtones. If I had to guess for the Wallpaper, Bitpim is looking at /download/wallpaper.bit. However, it’s doesn’t display the image and gives me an error saying, No handler found for image type. So primarily right now I use Bitpim simply to access the file sytem. Here’s what is on my phone and currently working on my phone.

 

In:

/user/sound/ringer

I’ve got 4 midi files I downloaded off the net. All 4 files work properly on the phone, including the volume level. But for some reason Bitpim doesn’t register the ringtone. I couldn’t tell where Bitpim is looking for the ringtones.

 

/brew/shared

This is where I’ve been putting my wallpapers, or proper term I guess would be my user images. I know that the wallpaper.bit file uses some odd file format with regards to the 565 bits and the special header and so forth. I guess my question is why bother with wallpaper.bit file at all. So far I’ve been able to use jpg, true 24bit bitmaps and those altered bitmaps as my user images. It seems the only limitation is that you can’t capitalize the first character of the image files. Whenever I did, the names displayed but the images would not. The images display properly and the phone converts the image over to wallpaper.bit should you set it as a wallpaper thru the menu system. One thing I do notice is that when viewing the user images or Graphics as the phone calls it, jpg images while they display properly take a second to load. The plus side is that the files are smaller, usually a third of the size of the 32k bitmaps.

 

If I could program it myself I would, so my input would be to drop working with the wallpaper.bit file. And set it up to allow bitpim to upload properly sized jpg and bitmaps to the brew/shared folder instead. Then the user can simply go to the Graphics folder in the Wallpaper section  on the phone and set their wallpaper(s). Note: gifs and animated gifs may work, have yet to try them. As for why the ringtones don’t work properly on my Bitpim, no idea on that one, but I can upload them just fine thru the file system.

 

Also noticed the call log is disabled for importing on the VX3200. I’m sure you guys probably already know it, that the dat files for the call log are in the /pim folder. I guess it’s just a matter of time for parsing the file for use in bitpim.

 

So if all this has been said before or you dev folks already know it then no harm no foul. Kepp up the great work on bitpim.

 

-Patrick
