FINALLY!
Handphone pics have been uploaded to my Toshiba Portege Laptop...
I was never an ardent fan of technology but these past 2 days have just cemented my belief that
Technology is not only
tedious and
troublesome, but also
time-consuming (
yes, it is. Especially when they don't come with user-friendly manuals; so much for efficiency and convenience) and
tiring (
after losing my precious sleep and energy on trying to figure out technology). All the associations with technology start with "
T"! Even Toshiba!
LG PC Suite is just abundant with problems and hiccups. Tried for hours to get my phone connected to my PC so I could upload pictures but it was only successful on the 1st attempt. After that, even advice from other LG Users from the internet just didn't seem to work. Uninstalling, re-installing, plugging in, plugging out... it's a miracle I didn't give up.
Well, at least I didn't give up on my ultimate goal - which was to upload pictures onto my laptop. So trying to be flexible, I tried out different means and decided on using the bluetooth connection. Even that didn't work for at least 2 hours. Toshiba Portege laptop (a Satellite model) is quite complicated when it comes to setting up bluetooth connection. Just Google the issue and you'll see the number of forums and questions that consumers of this Satellite model have raised.
But, as the saying goes, "Where there's a will, there's a way." Perseverance paid off. So did thinking out of the box and giving every possible means a chance. I clicked on Toshiba Assist program (have no idea why but the icon suddenly appeared out of place on my desktop, as if there was another force giving me a hand at this) and turned on the bluetooth on my phone, clicked paired devices and searched for a device on my PC and phone simultaneously. Hooray! Found Samantha PC on my phone! First step to success! Well, actually, the 100th, if one did not count the numerous failures before that. You know what people say: Failure is the first step to success. Then, I entered a Pass code (a simple on so I could rmb) on my LG phone, then on my TOSHIBA laptop. And ta-da! Sent an image through!
This is the 1st picture I took to upload onto my computer for the 'trial run': the Toshiba laptop... they should thank me for advertising for them even after the trouble they made me go through.
Ok, I will upload more tomorrow. Just packed my luggage for Malaysia. Pretty exhausted and late now, gotta turn in. Sweet dreams~
