Question:

USB data cable for LG-CU500v -- can't get phone to show up as removable disk to drag/drop games, music, etc.

At age 64 - I am neither good with computers or phones. Cingular/ATT sold me an LG CU500v phone and a SanDisk 2 gig memory card. I bought a USB cord to allow me to download games ring tones from my computer to the phone as well as feed camera photos to the computer and avoid the cell phone fees. (I am not only old, not a whizz at computers - but cheap as well.) The phone shows the memory card so I know that is working ok. The USB cord powers up the phone so I assume that is working ok. When I got the new hwd. wizard box - I Cancled (per the LG instruction book). Then, when I go to Desktop - My computer - it shows the CD drive, the hard drive etc. but nothing on my Removable Disk. I was supposed to be able to download on the computer and then drag/drop into the phone (removable disk). My computer is a Windows 2000. .What am I doing wrong? .thanks in advance for any help.

Answer:

I just saw this same issue on a review of the product. The USB Connection Mode on your device is most likely still set to Data Service rather than Mass Storage. Unplug your phone from the usb cable. On the phone, go to your Menu button, choose Settings (# 9), then choose Connection (# 7). Choose USB Connection Mode (#2) and then choose Mass Storage (#1). After this, you should be able to plug it back into the usb cable and you should be able to drag/drop media onto your phone. Hope this helps
