First day with the phone, and so much grief. Never did I expect it.
I am able to transfer music etc from the PC Suite in mass storage mode, but i can't transfer contacts. The sync in progress bar comes up and its stuck there without moving. Then it says ''no response from the phone''.
Deleted usb drivers using usbdeview, and re plugged the phone, but no relief.
Was having other trouble with a 4gb SD Card ''preparing SD Card, checking for errors''. Will be trying to return it tomorrow, i think its corrupted.
So put the original 2 gb in it after a factory reset. 2gb card working but cannot sync contacts from pc to phone. is there any other software, way?
Beginning to wonder if i should have bought this phone.... Haven't slept a wink.
Trying another factory reset with the 2gb card in it - Which surprisingly was the only things that works! I can sync contacts, but i think this is a really irritating way. Im gona have to do another one after i get a 4gd SD.
LG Software developers - do ya'll think we like to spend our lives solving your puzzles??!!
The new LG suite software has a warning to you turn on wifi or 3g conection, before doing the sync.
Have you done that?
Cheers

Hmmm. I haven't got that warning, and ive checked that the PC suite version is the latest one. anyhow, i never leave it on, so maybe that is the cause
Without any problems with MyPhoneExplorer. If you download also MyPhoneExplorer app from market, you can use for transfer also wifi and USB.
PC Sync you need to add account in Accounts & sync
Hello, just bought mine and is very happy with it, considering i bought this to replace my iphone 3gs. pretty much a downgrade, but a new ground nonetheless since its my 1st android phone.
now, people having problems syncing, ive been trying to figure this out since yesterday. heres what u need to make sure to sync contacts/mail/calendar:
-make sure u have 3g/H signal on top of your notifications.its network dependent, u might have to adjust it on settings, network, mobile network, access point names. choose one that gives u 3g signal
-make sure 2g only signal option is unchecked
-make sure your phone is visually on. adjust your screen timeout on settings, display, timeout setting and put it on 30 mins so your phone doesnt sleep.
try syncing it again.
hope this helps.
LG Optimus P500 Outlook sync issue resolution
Hi All,
As suggested in this earlier thread, I was able to resolve the outlook sync issues. Though it might sound weird, you need to have the wi-fi or 3G data turned on, for you to be able to successfully do a sync. I kept the wi-fi on and was able to do a sync of my contacts and calendar, though there were some repeat entries in my calendar. I will have to work that out!
Here is what you should be doing:
Connect you phone to the computer
Ensure that you aren't switching on the mass storage
Keep your wi-fi or 3G data turned on
Launch LG PC suite IV and start synching.
There is an update available for the PC sync suite, which i downloaded today. I am seeing an improvement in the performance of the application, when I switch between contacts to messaging to calendar etc., The latest version is 4.2.46.20101118.
Hi all,
Houston we have a problem
I'm having problems connecting my phone with PC Suite. I was able to cennect it in "mass storage mode"and instal PC Suite from it, but i can't connect phone with PC Suite. It starts loading and then the error comes out saying either; "device cannot be opend, it's beeing used by another program" or "not responding". If I then press OK, it throws me into the LG Air Sync, with the same errors.
I tried what @xeboslavvb said, but only with 3G, cos i don't have wi-fi(yet).
Need help, please It's my first smarthphone so i might be missing something obvious.
tnx
Well, you can use MyPhoneExplorer instead, so easy and fast
So i can use it to sync phonebook, update to 2.2.1 etc. It wont "hurt" the phone?
I'll try it. tnx
I would still like to have PC Suite working, so if there are any ideas...
edit:
LOL, i don't know what is wrong with it. I instaled MyPhoneExplorer on computer, connected the phone and then in the MyPhoneExplorer another error " Connection to phone could not be established:No device attached to USB"?
edit2:
All I had to, was to connect the phone to the backplate USB port, the front one only worked in "mass storage mode"...

First, download Myphoneexplorer to your pc(website) and your phone(from market)
then open the program on your optimus, it will give you 2 options:
1-Wifi(Working if your pc and your optimus on the same router)
2-USB(should set Debugging Mode to ON)
select which connection you prefer, then press connect on PC program (you have to select that you're connect an Android phone from tools)
Tadaaaa.. connected
sorry for long post, but it could be useful to noobs
Tnx, but like I said, all i did was connect it via. "backplate" USB port and it worked. Don't know why...
You could sync it to your google account and then use your google account to sync to your phone. I have that and it works great
Hi All... I can synch to LG PC Suite IV...
All...
What I did is just to turn on 3G and Shazaaam!!!...
Actually I don't know why this synch needs from 3G, because basically the connection is through USB...
Hope this can help to you...
Memo.

Lg pc suite is too buggy. Try my phone explorer, for sync contacts, sms etc.
http://www.fjsoft.at/en/
I also had problems with Lg pc suite, but it seems you do need a working networkconnection (in my case enabling Wifi worked) even if connected to usb!
I guess it is due to bad programming from LG
pcsync worked for me only when using a stable wifi connection
until then i also tried using it in vain
after getting wifi router things changed
i could sinchronize my contacts
Hi XDA
I have a problem I hope you can help me with.
Yesterday, while I was using my phone, the screen looked like it "shorted". It went black and white, horizontal lines apeared, flashing all over the screen. I haven't been able to get the screen to show anything since. The touch function still seems to work though.
I have a lot of pictures of my daughter and such on this phones that I would very much like to retrieve from the phone, if possible, before I send it to be repaired. I fear that, if they have to change the motherboard, I will loose all of the data, since it's located on the phones internal memory.
Now I've not been very smart, I haven't backed up the photos on Dropbox or Google Drive etc. so all of the pictures are placed on the phone, and as an attempt to reset the phone, I've pulled out the battery, reseting and LOCKING the phone in the "enter pin code" screen (Samsungs buildt in security), meaning that I cant "open" the phone and retrieve the pictures from the PC - Kies does not work either, it tells me the phone is locked, meaning I have to open it with the pin, and since there is no screen, this is impossible.
Is there any program or "root" hack etc. that I can install on the pc and force the phones USB data sharing to open, so that I can mount it on the PC and get the pictures?
I've googled around, but nothing I can use, has showed up.
Thank you in advance!
try adb from recovery, but if the pin encrypts the phone, it won't work. nothing will, actually.
what you have to do is hook up a tv out and use yout tv as a screen

Recovery wont work.. how do I hook it up to a tv? The phone only has usb...
Nvm
I'll go buy an mhl cable !
Well that didn't do the trick.
The phone wont send picture to the tv, so I guess I'm screwed
but once you've got your phone screen on tv, you could upload photos to drop box/google drive?

Hi Guys,
As the title is suggesting, my phone has been locked and the only way left to get in to the phone and access my data is using my google account credentials.
I was at a public place and needed to charge my phone so i turned off the data and wifi and set up a pin lock. So later when the phone was charged i tried to unlock it but i seemed to have forgotten the pin. while doing it multiple times i ran out of attempts to be able to unlock the phone using pin. So the only shot i was left with was using my google account info. when i try putting the google info, they show invalid even though i put the correct credentials.
And again my wifi and mobile data are off so even the android device manager doesnt seem to be a way to go.
I tried calling the LG customer service to see if they can help, i explained them the situation and told them i needed my data to stay but the only choice they offered me was a pin that would unlock the phone but also erase everything in it.
Also, I do not have my bootloader unlocked. or anything of that sort.
I will appreciate if anyone can help me getting back into the phone or even helps me to be able to recover the data that i have in the phone. Thank you.
