LG VX 4600 goodness

Data Transfer:

1. Install USB data cable and BitPIM
2. Configure BitPIM to talk to a LG VX 4500 cell phone
3. Import contacts from Outlook
4. Edit notes on BitPIM
5. Drag wallpaper images into BitPIM, resize for “wallpaper” option
6. Edit eri.bin file with hex editor to remove “Verizon Wireless” banner. Look for the “eri.bin” file on the phone using the “filesystem” tab, edit the file on your PC with a hex editor, replacing the first instance of “Verizon Wireless” with 16 spaces. TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND MAKE BACKUPS!
7. Send data to the phone

Internets:

1. Create a WAP page at tagtag.com
2. Add a new WAP proxy to your phone. Enter Menu, 0. When prompted for a service code, enter “000000″. Hit 9 for Wap Setting, 1 for IP setting, and 4 for Link2-IP1. Enter 194.204.012.042. Hit OK. Hit Clr. Select 2-Port Setting. Enter 4-Link2-Port1. Enter 9201. Hit Ok. Enter 5-Link2-Port2. Enter 9203. Hit Enter.
3. Power the phone off, power it back on.
4. Go to your Mobile Web option, and hold down 0 for the browser menu. Select Select 6-advanced. Select 3-Set WAP Proxy. Select WAP Proxy 2. Select 2-Homepage. Enter the page you created on tagtag.com
5. Select Restart Browser. Done!

So, now I have some basic WAP browsing, all of my email addresses saved in the contact list, and send email from a logical email address instead of 15105551212@vtext.com. I use Exchange and Outlook at work, and forward mail from monitoring tools and selected people to my phone. By using “redirect” instead of “forward”, I can save characters by not passing a forward header.

With cell phone numbers saved in my phone, I can also send SMS instead of email. Either way, the T9 text recognition is getting really good.

Next Step: Configure the USB serial cable/phone combo to act as a modem for my XP laptop. With it, I should be able to connect to Verizon’s QNC (14.4 kbps) or 3G network (144KBps+) networks.
