How to Install Java-Based Functions on the LG by Verizon

LG phones now operate with the Java operating system. This means that an LG Verizon phone will recognize the Java-based functions you install to it. These functions let you control your phone with a touch of a button. You can even customize controls to your LG phone. You no longer have to navigate through your phone to open a program or play music. To install Java-based functions to your LG phone, you will need a USB data cable and sync software.

Things You'll Need

• USB data cable
• LG sync software

Instructions

1. Download Java-based functions. Examples include OSWorkflow, DB2 and DivXplayer (see Resources). Save the file to your desktop.

2. Attach the USB data cable to your LG phone. Connect the other end to your desktop computer or laptop's available USB port.

3. Insert the sync software that came with your LG phone. Wait for it to launch on the screen. If you do not have sync software, contact your cell phone provider.

4. Click "Sync Options" or a similar function. Your computer's programs and files should appear. Select the Java-based function you want to install to your phone.

5. Click the "Sync" button. Wait for the transfer to complete. Disconnect your LG phone when prompted.

6. Press the "Menu" button. Navigate to the "Media" folder and locate the download of the Java-based function. Select it and follow the installation instructions.

Tips & Warnings

• Follow the commands on the Java-based function to use the program.

• Do not disconnect the USB data cable during the synchronization process. This could result in a loss of data.
