Press Menu > Settings > Connectivity > USB connection mode Connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable. Choose Data service and synchronize your phone using the LG PC Suite software to copy files from your phone. If you have a memory card inserted, select Mass storage to use your phone in the same way as you would use a USB stick. Connect to your computer and drag and drop files to the GB250g removable device folder. Note: To use the USB mass storage function, you will need to insert an external memory card in your phone.

Al, I'm not trying to mislead you in any way. You're right, I don't own the model but I got the instructions directly from LG customer support. Someone has already asked the same question in the past and have confirmed that the instructions worked for him. Link: How to turn off keypad tones on the LG GB-255G? You can contact LG directly for further assistance.

Grindale, your answers are incorrect. Many of your answers do not correlate with the menus that I see on my LG GB255g. I believe you don't even own this model. It is not nice to provide misleading anwers.

There are 2 ways I know of. First press the left arrow on the keypad which will bring up different options for your ringer and choose vibrate. The second way to press and hold the * key for 3 seconds.

the proper answer to this question, you have to go to inbox and outbox press the options button. Scroll down to mark/unmark, it should be a 7 beside it and press select and MARK ALL! You should now see check marks beside all messages then press the options button again and scroll down to delete which should be #2.

I want to get this phone to ring. Your user guide is useless. How does the phone work? I can't even answer my voicemail. I need a comprehensive User Guide for even the simplest tasks but can't even download it from the internet. Please E-mail me a complete user's manual, not the one that only addresses the MENU, which does not give me even a chance at getting a standard ringtone. This is absolutily the WORST user guide I have ever seen. It may force me to leave Telus for better service elsewhere! Ron Ridsdill rridsdill@sympatico.ca

Press and select Menu button and select Media. You`ll see the Sounds folder. From there you can set sounds as ringtones... or your profile is set to Silent. You can change it here: Setting, then select Profiles. Choose the profile you want and select Options and choose Edit.

You can download the manual for the LG Madison here in our website. Just go to the LG Madison page and click on the manual download link on the right hand side of the page. Hopefully it's different from what you currently have.

Where can I get help with an LG Madison cell phone that I just purchased. The manual that came with it isn't for beginners. Never read a manual with so few clear instructions. Help!!

Grindale · Answered

As per checking the user manual, on page 5 the menu map can be found. You can see Media there on the upper right hand side of the page. Under media you have the following options: 1. Camera 2. Video cameraa 3. Music 4. Images 5. Sounds 6. Videos 7. SVG contents 8. Others 9. External memory 0. FM radio * Voice recorder If your phone has a more updated software, maybe that's a possible reason why menus and options are different on your phone. Download manual from the LG GB-255G page.

Grindale · Answered

To change your ringtone go to Menu - Media - Sounds The Sounds folder contains the Default sounds, your voice recordings, and sound files downloaded by you. From here you can manage, send, or set sounds as ringtones. As for downloading ringtones, you can visit your carrier's website using your phone and you can even download free stuff like ringtones, wallpapers and applications. You can also download ringtones on your computer and have them transferred to your phone using a data cable.
