I'm trying to get my pc to recognize my lg shine as a device so I can download my photos. Someone suggested that there ought to be a disk that comes with my phone...there never was one.
 
This is a "switchable" device that first appears as USB storage -- because the drivers are "built-in" to the USB device, which should run just like you inserted a CD installation disk. If installation doesn't offer to run automatically, open the device (check "My Computer" and it will be listed), then click on "setup". After it has been setup on a computer, the setup looks for your dongle to be inserted, then sends a "change into a modem" proprietary code sequence, and then quickly connects to the Internet (if a route to an Internet location is needed but isn't found).

If you'd still like to download a driver anyway (it's there on your dongle but may not be the latest, greatest version), go to http://us.lge.com/support/download/search/1000000313_AA_AA__2.jhtml and item # 20 is the one you need - IIRC.

That is, if you use Windows from Redmond, or Apple. You can also check for the latest driver version and get an update (it's an option on the program that opens on your desktop).

If you run Linux -- it will Just Work. In fact, a whole array of cell phone modems do the same under Linux, thanks to many very dedicated and talented volunteers who prefer Linux to Windows. Thanks to an applet that appears in the tray called Network Manager, first time use requires only the "by-carrier" dial-up access code (IIRC is pre-entered during first setup by choosing the correct carrier, and is #777 for Alltel, don't recall for AT&T), your device's 10-digit phone number @ carrier's domain ("[email protected]" perhaps) and a password ("att" perhaps).

Those three items of information might already exist inside the Windows and Apple software saved on the dongle if the device was ever setup before, but -- if not -- you will be asked and need to give the same 2 or 3 answers (probably already knows the access dial-up code so won't ask). Linux doesn't use any vendor-specific driver other than the "secret-sauce" signal that tells your dongle to change from a USB storage device into a USB modem.

If your dongle shows empty storage, or your storage has become corrupted (someone or something managed to corrupt the installation files by defeating its "read-only" software controls), the dongle will still work under Linux -- and Linux can be used to reformat and transfer fresh installation files to the dongle so it will work again for Redmond Windows and Apple computers. In my experience, most wireless carrier outlets aren't able to make this simple repair -- unless you insist it can be done and they ask someone higher up on the technical support food chain. Even failing that, running a downloaded version of the installation program might (but not always) make the dongle usable on that one computer.

Good luck!
