Dear all,
I am posting this to help the LG RD7230 phone users. I wasted 2 months in trying to solve the problem, and went up to writing to Mr. Ambani in frustration. That did not help, but what helped was going through the posts on this very forum.
My problem was, I bought LG RD7230 from Reliance, and it came with a CD and data cable. Initially, I was sucessful connecting it to the computer, but never could download the pictures. After some time, the phone refused to connect to the computer even for R-connect. My woes started with that. Went to LG service center in Chembur three times (they gave me version 1.1 CD), but they couldn't help me with my specific problem of connecting the phone to my laptop (Sony Vaio, running Windows XP) via the USB port. Tried everything, and nothing worked. It was frustrating. Couldn't use the Rs. 22000 (the price when I bought it) for anything other than making calls.
The problem is simple. Set the Communication in the phone to USB mode, and not to the 115K data rate. I did try this initially, but some how it didn't work. But with the Version 1.1 drivers, everything works like charm, if you set your communication in the phone settings as USB.
Now I can download pictures, synchronize everything on my computer with the phone, and able to pretty much do everything for which I bought the phone. I am extremely happy with the phone after this. The camcorder facility is also nice (but no sound gets recorded in the video mode), and the pictures are of decent quality (0.3M pixels), when printed.
Thought this information would help other users.
regards,
Ramgopal Rao
