    Re: HOWTO: Install BitPim

    sorry, it isn't the phone that hangs, its the terminal at the lsusb command, there is no output, but the phone still works fine. It also does not connect and disconnect like all that. The phone will function fine in all instances as itself, a phone. When I plug the cable into the phone, it is supposed to say "usb connected" on the display of the phone, this only happens when I have the phone connected fresh from boot or reboot of the system, I don't know why. Then, if I manually disconect the cable from the phone, to say..take it to the store or something, and bring it back and reconnect the cable, there is no notification, I assume the phone or the comp is not responding in any way at all to the connection. This happens with my girl's phone, I tested it last night. What I think is happening is the cable driver (?) works from boot with the phone, but as soon as the system is up, the palm os visor mod (?) seems to be taking over the cable/usb connection(?), so the actual cable for the phone won't transmit any data, because the system thinks it is a palm/os 'visor' device. Or at leaste the palm os visor mod in the system is blocking communications. Does this seem like I am ANYWHERE near the bullseye? BEst shot here with this.

    Re: HOWTO: Install BitPim

    I just thought I would post that this same thing happens on another computer with the samsung a840 phone and the sprint-supplied spsc cable. THe connection is good when connected from boot, but the phone does not get detected with bitpim. When I disconnect The cable, and reconect it, there is no connection at all with the phone and the computer. The cable itself on both systems is listed in bitpim as working adn all, but not available to access. weird. Help?

    Re: HOWTO: Install BitPim

    Hello. I have a question... how do I send an mp3 to the phone using BitPim? I tried doing it, reformatted the song to fit it (in the program) but it doesn't want to send it to the phone. What can I do?

    What phone are you using? Are you trying to upload the mp3 as a ringtone or as a song to be played in the phone's music player? Which verison of bitpim are you using? How did you install it? Did you follow the original post, and the instructions from the bitpim website (that I summarized earlier in this thread)? Details

    Hm, I have the AMD64, I seem to be getting quite a few errors when converting the RPM to DEB.

    Is there a 64-bit version of Bitpim?

    Re: HOWTO: Install BitPim

    Hey all, can anybody tell me how to add BitPim to my Applications menu?
    Also, what category would it go under?
    It is located in /usr/lib/BitPim-0.9.07/ if that's any different..

    Epperly,

    I would add BitPim to "Utilities" section of the menu. Here's how to add it.

    Hit Alt+F2 -> enter "kmenuedit" and you should see the "menu editor".
    Go under "Utilities" section, and right click and click "New Item...", there you should enter the following:

    Item Name: BitPim
    Icon (on right hand side): Select an icon that you like the best.
    Command: This is where you tell where the program is, if you can enter bitpim on command line, then all u need to enter here is "bitpim"; otherwise, you will need to tell it where the program is located at.

    See the picture for more detail.

    I don't have kmenuedit. I am in gnome if that makes a difference.
