Roger,

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll just have to continue to do it by
hand on the phone while I wait for somebody smarter than I to find the
time to work on it.

Samsung a670 QCP ringtones

Don't know if you can use this info but the best sounding ringtones for the a670 are QCP files.  They show up as <Unknown> in the Ringers folder and for some reason the first letter of the file name is missing.  There is an easy walk through on mya670  forum on how to make them at

This is what BitPim does in converting wav & mp3 files to qcp ones. Additionally, BitPim also does clipping & volume adjustment, all in one step (as far as the user is concerned). I use PMD extensions for these files because the phone wouldn't recognize them otherwise. I'll try putting them in the mms directory and see if that makes any differences, but I doubt it since they are the SAME files. Thanks for the suggestion. -Joe Pham ______________________________________________________________________ Surfing so fast you won't believe it's not broadband! Try NetZero HiSpeed 3G.

Re: LG VX6000 - Selecting ringers in phonebook and calendar.

I'm reading this as to say that the code in the BitPim is not functioning and due for repair. Or should I read this as an LG issue? I'm holding out hope that this is a BitPim issue that can be resolved. The code specifically written to deal with the copy the calendar to and from the phone for LG phones is broken. It wasn't finished during the 0.6 releases but mostly worked for the VX4400. The other LG models inherit the VX4400 code, usually without changes. During the 0.7 the internal format in BitPim was upgraded as well to be more complete while retaining backwards compatibility with the old LG code. So basically the LG calendar code is really behind the times and was incomplete the last time it was touched. Noone (including myself) has stepped up to complete it.

BitPim & VX3200 Observations

Since I’m not a developer, at least not in Python, I didn’t feel it was appropriate to post this in the dev group.   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
