Welcome to BitPim
BitPim
Manage data on CDMA phones from LG, Samsung, Sanyo and
others
BitPim is a program that allows you to view and manipulate
data on many CDMA phones from LG, Samsung, Sanyo and other
manufacturers. This includes the PhoneBook, Calendar,
WallPapers, RingTones (functionality varies by phone) and the
Filesystem for most Qualcomm CDMA chipset based phones. To see
when phones will be supported, which ones are already supported
and which features are supported, see online help.

Official Versions
The only location for the downloads of official versions of BitPim is
the BitPim website hosted by SourceForge: www.bitpim.org
If you find a version of BitPim elsewhere, it must comply with the
GNU General Public
License. It should note if it has been modified, document how it has
been modified, and offer the source code (amongst other things).
We do not offer any support or other resources for versions of
BitPim that are not downloaded from the official site. You need to go
to whomever distributed whatever it was that you got.
Note that we do not have any kickback agreements with vendors who also
supply BitPim. You can read about how you or anyone else can contribute and where credit is due.

BitPim 1.0.7 (24 Jan
2010)
Each new version (every 3-4 weeks) includes bug fixes, new
features and new phone support. See (list of
changes). You can supply
feedback on the bitpim-devel or bitpim-user mailing
lists. READ THE FOLLOWING NOTES FIRST
Windows If you are upgrading from or downgrading to a
version earlier than 0.7.16 then you should uninstall the old version
via the Control Panel first. This is due to subtle interactions of file
versions with some of the components BitPim uses.
Some parts of the online help dealing with each pane are not up to
date (you can tell by the outdated screenshots). All the rest of the
help is uptodate including phone support and information, FAQS etc.
Please read them first.
Before using the MP3/QCP ringtone feature, read the online help
first.
The Linux RPM distribution is an RPM file built on CentOS-4.5
and can be used as is on RPM based distributions:
rpm -U ifile.rpmi.
Downloads:
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7

Mac Support Update
A volunteer has recently stepped up and taken over the role of doing Mac builds.
As a result, as of BitPim release 0.9.14, Mac binaries will once again be available for download.

Frequent Questions and
Problems
Straight USB cables for the LG VX4400 phone WILL result in
errors.
If you want to know how/when your phone will be supported, what phones
the developers have and other frequent questions, look in the FAQ.
For other questions or issues follow the steps below.
Help, Support, Contacts and Mailing
Lists
Before posting anywhere, please take the time to read this article on
How to ask
questions the smart way (Note they do NOT provide support, just
guidelines on how to ask questions/get support and get the best
responses).
BitPim includes online help. You can also browse a copy at www.bitpim.org/help.
See the support page for details on how
to get support.
If you do not follow the instructions on the support page then your
request will not be useful. The steps to take and information needed
are crucial to help you since BitPim supports a wide variety of phones,
cables and operating systems.
For other general discussion, or to contact the developers, please
ONLY use the mailing lists. You can subscribe to the mailing lists
or view the archives from sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=75211.
bitpim-user
mailing list
This list is for users of BitPim. Please direct your issues,
questions and comments to this list. (For support issues please make
sure you have followed the instructions above, otherwise there won't be
sufficient information to address your issues).
bitpim-devel
mailing list
This list is for discussions about and people making technical
contributions to BitPim.
Other phones
If you would like to have another phone supported, you need to find
someone with some developer skills. In particular they will need to have
the target phone, and will need to be able to figure out information on
the phone (usually by browsing the filesystem view and analysing protocol
traces). Most importantly they will need to have time to dedicate to
this.
If you are such a developer, please consult the developer information. I would welcome BitPim
working with other phones, and the code and design intent is to allow
this.
