If your prada doesn't read pictures and music on your external memory this is what you do:
1. plug data cable to connect to your desktop and phone.
2.both phone memory and external will be recognized.
3. format external memory (sd card max 2g) after you have backed up a copy of all the songs in your laptop or desk top...do this with your pics too...
4. proceed with format....
5. when format is done remove connection safely from your laptop or desktop.
6. work on your phone...the easiest trick is to transfer one picture from phone memory to your external memory for the system to create folders for your storage. ex. go to my stuff folder and go to images, then choose one pic from phone and left click on details and select "file" then select "move" or "copy"...and prompt will show if you want to transfer it to your external and i suggest you select "yes" after you have selected go back to the main screen and plug in data cable again...
7. when both external and phone memory recognized go to your external and you will see folders created by tour phones system...and when you open images folder you can see the picture that you have tranferred.
8. you can now transfer back all the pictures you have backed up and the music to their proper folders...
9. safely remove connection....
10. go to your device's media and choose "my stuff" and choose either sounds or images....
11. VIOLA! done......
please email me if you are satisfied with the solution at [email protected] and don't forget to update your phone's firmware....very important...

thanks!

Leave the memory card in, if you have one, then plug it into your computer, and it should pop up with the memory card, just drag and drop and off you go

I got around this problem by, one at a time, making sure each file I sent to the phone was copied to external memory and then deleting from where it was sent to originally before sending another. Clunky and long winded, but enabled me to get lots of mp3s onto the phone.

The phone has a micro sd adapter plug that into your cpu download all of the music into the external chip and then placed that external mem into your phone. Go to settings and press the multimedia icon, there you will press the my stuff icon all of your files will be in the icon that is the mem chip icon just tap that and all of your mp3 files shpuld be there.

Lg prada

Hi,

Unfortunately, there is no way to do this. Only in camera/video mode you can set the default memory to the card. Everywhere else, the internal memory is default.

Trying to store music

Hi,

The phone will always store data in the small internal memory when you transfer something to it...you need to enter the file mamager and move the files to the memory card. It is a small annoyance of the Prada. I personally just use an external card reader...so much easier and faster.

LG Prada Phone and how to download mp3 onto it

I have posted information in 'hints and tips' regarding media files (pictures mp3s etc).  The first thing to remember when sending files to your phone is that they have to be done one at a time as the phone memory is limited.  The phone has a memory card inside it which is extra/external to the phone memory.  What is confusing is that you cannot send files directly to this memory card so each file you send to the phone has to be moved to the 'external memory' before you send another to the phone.

E-mail/mp3

Yes I agree the manual is not too helpful which is why this forum is buzzing!  I have posted information in 'tips and tricks' regarding media files (pictures mp3s etc).  The first thing to remember when sending files to your phone is that they have to be done one at a time as the phone memory is limited.  The phone has a memory card inside it which is extra/external to the phone memory.  What is confusing is that you cannot send files directly to this memory card so each file you send to the phone has to be moved to the 'external memory' before you send another to the phone.  Regarding email; you need to call your service provider and register with them.  Then ask them to send the relevant codes and instructions to set up picture messaging, email/internet.  Their instructions should be pretty easy to follow as they gear them exactly for the lg prada phone menu settings. All the best. El

LG Prada receiving via bluetooth troubleshoot

There is a restriction in the JPG ratio/pixel size on the Prada.
You need to first get your photos on to your computer and check the size of them is 640 x 480 and that they are standard .jpg
Make sure any file you send is not 'in use' I.E. you don't have the file open on your computer - open files/in use files cannot be sent.
Also, after every download to the phone, you need to move the jpeg file to the external memory as the phone itself can only cope with a few files at a time before registering as full.

LG Prada memory

No, copy your music to the memory card rather than storing it on the phone. you must do this in 'My stuff' folder, select 'sounds' select the mp3 then click the bottom left button (details), then press 'file', then 'move' To view the moved files goto 'My stuff' folder, select 'sounds' then in the top right corner you will see a picture of a memory card. press this to see swith to view the external memory.
