Developer’s Description

View, manage, and synchronize data on CDMA phones.

BitPim is a program that allows you to view and manipulate data on many CDMA phones from LG, Samsung, and Sanyo. This includes the phonebook, calendar, wallpapers, ringtones (functionality varies by phone) and the file system for most Qualcomm CDMA chipset based phones. Includes several changes such as improving read/write data block size for LG VX-8700/9400, adding support for LG AX-8600, fixing bug on float file timestamp, and other improvements.

Latest will not install.
DiEx80February 21, 2014
Pros
I have not had any problems with this program before.
Cons
- Won't install as it says MSVCP71.dll is missing. - There is not a help support for this program. If there is, you have to subscribe to their mailing list. Although that is partially because this is a Open Source program.
Summary
It really isn't a bad program and had no troubles with it before. that is until I upgraded this computer to Windows 7. I would give this a full 5 but since I cannot find help for why it says it is missing this MSVCP71.dll, I have to ding it a bit.
This program wiped all picture and videos off my phone!
starcap_68May 1, 2013
Pros
None I can see
Cons
It wiped pic and video files from my phone. Didn't detect phone.
Summary
It told me it could not detect my phone or port in use so I thought I'd wasted my time downloading it . I have an LG900G prepaid phone through NET10. Since it didn't detect the phone, I didn't think it did anything nor did I check the phone. Today I went to look at a pic on my phone and found the file was empty. Went to the video file and found the same thing, an empty file. I had originally downloaded this to try to transfer a video from my phone that I couldn't do through SD card as the slot had been damaged by my dog.
A very good software

Pros
Did not erase files like some users said
Cons
It didn't do iCalendar, but I've heard the new SW update helps that.
Summary
Be Afraid. BitPim Wiped my Sprint Samsung phone memory.
scottjohnson63May 9, 2011
Pros
Free? Nothing good to say.
Cons
The first time I plugged in the phone it asked me to download my ringtones. I thought, no big deal. It wiped my phone address book clean. Where is it? There is no customer support.
Summary
Back up online with Sprint for $ 2 instead of doing this Free Software. BitPim says right on their web page not ask them any questions as they do nit provide support. My bad for not checking first.
Wiped the phone with no warning
ahenry75May 5, 2011
Pros
none that I could see
Cons
It caused my Samsung Instinct S30 to hard reset, with no warning. I was just trying to connect the program to the phone when it happened. Beware!!
Summary
Beware, could cost you everything you have on your phone.
easy to download & install it did NOT do anything else
mishpakaFebruary 20, 2011
Pros
easy to download and install itself.
Cons
did NOT recognize either of my cell phones, did NOT allow me to transfer ANY info from them to my computer to put into my newer phone, offered NO assistance as to HOW to accomplish these things. at this point, I wasted $$ on the USB connection wires.
Summary
waste of time and $. the only way I can move pictures, sounds, ringtones from my Sprint ( not smart phone ) which I've had for about 2 years, to my newer Spring phone, is to go to a Sprint service store, pay someone more $$ to try to attempt the same thing with their equipment.... meanwhile I'm still stuck with this newer phone *somewhat unhappily* under contract, for TWO MORE YEARS !!!
BitPim keeps getting better
autowoodJanuary 31, 2011
Pros
Auto detects phone. Able to extract contacts, edit(add remove contacts) using keyboard instead of keypad and replace of move to a new phone.
Cons
Did not talk directly to Droid. Had to email contacts via Gmail to Droid, then able to install. Obscure method but it did work.
Summary
I started using this program years ago when I got a new phone that didn't have the ability to exchange contacts with Outlook. I was able to store, edit and transfer my contacts with my computer from the old phone to the new phone. The original version of BitPim required looking up model number of the phone. That process has been automated. I haven't tried the new BitPim, but I used to have my own ringtones made from mp3 clips from the first version I used. I'm certain the new one must have that feature and if it does, I'm sure it works just fine. I gave it 4 instead of five stars because I want the makers of BitPim to give up and keep on making this handy program better.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jan 31, 2011<p/>couple of typos but it gets the point across. Like to be able to edit this review. I do not want the makers of BitPim to give up, I want them NOT to give up.
2 many probs and limits for my LG VX9700 & VX8575.
olzabAugust 19, 2010
Pros
Can move some items, but not contacts on my phones. Minimally useful.
Cons
Can't move or manage contacts on the Dare. It takes much too long to find this out.
Summary
I didn't discover the contacts issue til deep into my attempts to make bitpim work. And I learned the limitation from another website, not bitpim list archives, and thought it should've been easier to learn. I could never even figure out how to search the bitpim mailing lists. After too many hours trying this and that, I gave up and got dataPilot 6.1 at susteen.com. Their help could be a lot better, but I got my contacts managed, synced, and backed up to my own storage spots. With DataPilot, finally I can edit my LG contacts on my xp puter and move them back and forth to multiple devices with ease! Just so you know, I do not work for Susteen, only heard of them yesterday!
Wouldn't copy contacts from to Microsoft Outlook 2007.
bobbulgeJuly 5, 2010
Pros
Copied info from phone to computer under BITPIM program easily.
Cons
Wouldn;t copy to Outlook 2007 or recognize HTC Incredible phone or IPOD Touch 2nd gen.
Summary
Gave it a try, just didn't do what I expected.
Very Useful
SyncytiumMay 29, 2010
Pros
Controls are fairly easy to use (less complicated than you might expect for it's function), Does what the carrier expected users to pay $40 for in file access and transfer.
Cons
Developers take a while to add compatibility for new models
Summary
This program made getting my pictures off of my phone a breeze (the way it should have been in the first place. It also allows access to the phone's full memory which could be useful in a great number of situations.
