help with LG Cosmos connectivity to PC

I have the LG Cosmos. It just came via Fed Ex today.

 

It seems like a decent phone so far, but I cannot get my PC to recognize it via the USB cord.  I cannot find the driver. It does not come with a CD and I cannot find anything on the LG website.

 

With the phone turned on, I connect the phone to the PC via USB; it finds the phone, and the software wizard comes up. It searches forever to find the driver; it is never successful.

 

This PC is running XP.

 

Can anyone help with this, please?

 

Thanks.

So where are all the techys with solution suggestions for me. I noticed that 40 people have read my post, but there has not been a single response.

 

Please help...I just want my phone connected to my PC so I can perhaps download photos and upload portable music.

 

Is this just not possible?

 

Thanks.

Hi,

Have you tried doing a goggle search for the drivers? If that doesn't work try calling tech support.

Thank you. I did exactly that, and the driver didn't solve the problem.

Verizon Wireless technical support says it is not possible to transfer data between the phone and a PC via the USB cable provided. Apparently that cable is used exclusively for charging.

 

The suggested solution is to TXT each photo to my email address, or to purchase a memory card.

 

Has any user of this particular phone discovered a different solution?

I installed the driver, hooked up the cable, then went into tools and clicked usb mass storage and im able to transfer ringtones and picture over very easily.

What website did you use to download the driver? I just took a lot of pictures and there's no way in hell I'm going to text them separately. Please help!

 

Thanks

You can get the LG Drivers here:http://www.lgcommunity.com/file_library.aspx  (Look in the "Drivers" Folder)

 

Do you have a MicroSD card? 

First you will need to move all of your photos over to the MicroSD card.

Next Install the drivers, and hook your Phone up to your PC  via the USB cable

On your Cosmos, go to the Settings menu and then to the Tools menu and scroll to the bottom and select "USB Mass Storage" .. Thsi will "mount" your MicroSD card on your PC under "My Computer" just like any other removable drive.  It should be something like Drive E: or F: or whatever is available.  Now you can open the new drive letter and look in the "My_Pix" folder for your pictures...  I Hope this helps...  Let me know if you have additional questions.

Why the heck would they supply a cable with with one end as a USB plug to fit in the computer if it's not meant to do that?  Is it a separate cable or like the ENV3 where the charging plug tunrs into a cable?  Thinking about this phone for my son so curious.   Mary

The USB Cable doubles as a USB Charging cable (Charge from your computer) as well as a Data Cable for your Cosmos.  Well I guess it triples, because it is also used for the wall charger....  But the Point is it can be used for Data purposes.

If you need any assistance please let me know...  I can also be reached at www.lgcommunity.com
