Bluetooth dongle that I found on ebay (.99) shipped from Hong Kong, It came with some software that created a virtual serial port. In mine it came up on port 9. anywho, once that connection was establish QPST picked it up (under PORTS > add new ports).
The rest they say is history.
Typo in my first post not "Audix" but "Audacity"
(my 1st go round with the LGVX8300 the 44100 .mp3 files just disapeared after I shut down QPST, when I tranfered 22050 .mp3 files it worked like a charm... no compromise in sound quality really)

I can't get MP3s to play.
I've executed the enable MP3 option and the play button assignment to MP3. When I look at the card memory I see the MP3 songs I put in the my_mp3 folder, but when I press the play button on the front, nothing happens. When I go to My Music and select 'Play all songs' I get the message "PLAYER ERROR Music is not available" Any ideas?
Just a curiosity, is there any documentation beyond the feeble little book that verizon provided?
Thanks

I changed the data baud rate through the service menu when I enabled the MP3 function. option 4 Data takes you to 3 Diag baud tochange the baud rate and 1 portmap (data) may be what you need to change the bluetooh functionality it's default setting is USB CDC but there is 3 other options blue tooth is one of them.
if you make the change post back on the results please.

This is my first cell phone, and I am wondering if there is a way to import names/numbers from Outlook or a spreadsheet program in the VX8300.
I know the phone doesn't sync with Outlook, but can I put my contacts onto a memory card and add them to the phone that way?
Any suggestions are appreciated!

I will post them here and I encourage others to add theirs in subsequent posts. Then in a week or so we can put them all together and make a great and quick read for the phone and maybe help some people just getting it.
What do you think?
Step by step to enable mp3: Two part process.
To enable outside phone buttons to play mp3:
From main screen press OK and then the number 0 seven times (you’ll see a series of question marks disappear). Then scroll all the way down and press #11 (Music Setting). Finally, choose My mp3.
To get MP3s to play, including ringtones – Press OK (Menu) and go to Settings and Tools, press 5 (phone settings), press 2 (shortcut key), press 5 (play key), and choose my mp3s.
To make ringtones:
I found a program to easily make ringtones, Audacity, which is compatible for both Mac and Windows. And it's small and free.
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ (For Macs.)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/ (For Windows.)
And to save your audio to MP3, you'll need to download a small, free program, which then works in tandem with Audacity.
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/hel...l&item=lame-mp3
It works beautifully. It's also pretty easy to learn and use.
Here's a step-by-step to make ringtones for your 8300:
I drag the song to my desktop, open Audacity and choose File and Open, and select the song (I have the song file in AIFF). I then use the selection tool (top left corner, looks like a capital "I") to select the portion of the song I want, or I put the cursor where I want the portion to end and go to Edit, Select, and choose one of the options. I then go to File and Export Selection As MP3. I save it to my desktop. (By the way, I often increase the volume of these ringtones. Find the slider next to the small speaker emblem at the top left and move it to the right. I set them to 6 or 7, depending upon the original audio quality.)
I then open my email program (Entourage - Mac) and attach the file and send it to my tendigitcellnumber@vzwpix.com
Remember to keep the file size to less than 350kb. When it arrives to your phone, open it and it will begin playing. Choose Options (right softkey) and save it.
Oh, and unless you have one of those text messaging deals with Verizon, I think sending them costs .25 or something.
Talking Ringtones:
When receiving a call, you can enable your 8300 to first announce who it is that’s calling (if you have their information in your phone) and then to play the assigned ring tone.
Do the following:
Press OK (Menu), and go to SETTINGS & TOOLS. Press #2 (Tools), and then press #1 (Voice Commands). Then on the right softkey, chose Settings, and press 5. (Call Alert). Finally, choose Name + Ring
Ear Piece Volume changes:
For those experiencing earpiece volume issues, the 8300 is set to Voice Privacy, a feature which decreases the volume when you move your ear away from the phone. Intended to keep those near you from listening to the other person on your phone, you may want to play with this feature to optimize your call quality.
Press OK (Menu) and go to SETTINGS & TOOLS. Next, press #6 (Call Settings), and then press #5 (Voice Privacy). Choose "Off."
How to assign ringtones, remove ringtones, etc.
Press OK (Menu), and go to GET IT NOW. Choose #1 (Get Tunes & Tones), and press #3 (My Ringtones). Scroll to your ringtones and to erase one, press the right softkey (Options). To set a ringtone as someone’s ringtone, press the left softkey (Set As). You may select either of three choices: Ringtone (your phone will play this when receiving a call unless you’ve chosen a specific ringer for a person), Contact ID (from here you may assign specific tones for specific people in your address book), and Alert Sounds (you may choose a ringtone for specific alerts).
How to record a voice memo (& make it a ringtone), &/or record a conversation:
With the phone open, push in the button on the left side for voice commands and hold it for a few seconds. You will see Press OK to start recording. When done, press OK to end the recording. MY SOUNDS screen comes up and what you’ve just recorded appears as a jumbled series of numbers, right under #1 Record New. Scroll to it and you may choose Options (right softkey) and rename it, &/or send it to your cell number. When your phone receives it, follow the usual method of saving it as a ringtone.
When looking for your recording, you will find it by pressing OK (Menu), going to GET IT NOW, choosing #1 (Get Tunes & Tones), and by choosing #5 (My Sounds). And there it is.
You can also do this while on the telephone, but it only picks up the person on the other end.
How to turn on the flash:
When you open the phone, press the camera key on the right side. On the screen, you will see a Lightning Bolt on the bottom left. If it is grayed-out, the flash is off. If it is yellow, the flash is on. Right under the volume buttons there is a Flash Button on the left site. If you press it, the lightning bolt should turn to yellow. The flash is now on.
How to use the 4x digital zoom on VX8300:
The 8300 has a 4X zoom which can be used with still or video. To use it with still photography, the resolution must first be reduced below 1280X960. Why that is I can’t say. But once you bump it down, you can zoom. You may zoom while in still or video mode by pressing the right or left buttons on the center wheel.
That's it from me. Comments? Additions?

You might be happy to know that DataPilot is now available for the LG VX8300 (after I put down some requests) and now you can use all the features of your phone from your PC.
