Finding PC Synch software for my LG KU990i

Tuesday March 9th, 2010 • Tagged: Personal • Written by

I bought myself an LG Viewty in the summer last year, or at least I thought I did. It turns out Vodafone were selling the slightly less equipped KU990i, also known as the Viewty Lite, which along with no stylus pen also came without any software CD.

With my contacts list saved in Outlook, it would have been nice to import all of the contacts from the PC directly onto the phone, rather than having to put them all on the SIM card then back to handset memory (so that I can store multiple phone numbers per contact)

Today I decided that I'd have another look, and found the following works.

  • Ensure that your phone is not connected to the PC via USB.
  • Go to LG Product Support for KU990i
  • Click the "Drivers & Software" tab and then the "Download PCSynch software for Windows" link and save the application (B2CAppSetup.exe) to your computer.
  • Run the "B2CAppSetup.exe" application. When the application loads, choose "Customer Support" from the menu, then the "Application, Manual and USB Driver download..." menu item.
  • The following screen will appear. Enter your IMEI number (just the numbers, no hyphens) and hit the search icon to the right.

  • 3 files will be listed in the box underneath. Double click the links for the PCSynch and USB Drivers. You can also download the User Manual if you wish. These will automatically be saved in the following folder: C:\KU990IGO.

  • From the C:\KU990IGO folder, run LGInstaller.exe. Choose your language (e.g.; English) and click the LG PC Suite button to start the installation. Optionally you can also install DivX for Mobile.
  • Once installed, I'd recommend rebooting your PC before connecting using the USB Data cable.
  • Having done this, I have now been able to synchronise with my Outlook contacts as well as delete some SMS messages which is much quicker than trying to delete them on the handset!. It is not perfect, but using PCSynch is better than no connectivity at all.
