I cant get this damn thing to talk so I can move files no matter what program I use...ARGH!!!!
|
|
1. which cell provider version is it? the v3 or v3c?
also, you using Blue Tooth or the cable? You need motorola phone tools... |
|
Alltel V3c...... I tried MPT and it just wont "find" the phone. I have installed the USB drivers, so it will atleast charge via USB, but thats it.
|

I bought this at CompUSA: DBT-120 PersonalAir Wireless USB Adapter, Bluetooth comes with some programs that will let you do file transfers and such as well as sync contact all thru bluetooth. You can even make phone calls, send text/SMS messages, etc thru the bluetooth. Mobile Phone Tools works perfect thru the bluetooth connection (btw - much preferred program for syncing contacts) |

I would remove and try to re-install the drivers. I downloaded MPT for my Alltel V3c this morning without a problem. Had a lot of fun with the ringtone thread, but the Ma Duce tone wouldn't workm on the phone.

Thats where I went to get the info the first time around. |
|
|
OK so, install USB, driver, install MPT the plug in phone? Or is there a pecific way it should be done? |
|
|
I have a motoral V325 and I couldn't get the damn thing to work on windows at the time. I turns out my USB drivers where all fruitsaladed up and ended up having to reinstall them. Then I had to do seem edits so I could download pictures, but that's another story.
|
|
Unplug, remove MPT through the control panel, re-install then plug the phone in and pray.

|
doh!! i FORGOT TO PRAY... BRB |
|
|
exactly they don't speak 'english' over there. |

Update your MPT. Then update it a couple more times. I had to do that a few times to get it to recognize my Razr.
|
|
Trying to reinstall MPT now... |
|
|
He means Bluetooth, but you are trying via USB, right? SBG |
||
|
Yeah,. im using USB, hence be saying I got the USB drivers installed.
|
|
My BlueTooth device is also USB... and it has USB drivers too. |
|
|
But the BT will not work without another BT device to talk to...
But I cant get this crap working as it is, so im going to buy a small BT thing for my PC and just do it that way.. |

Motomodders
The above link and howard forums will set you on the right path. Got the v3 silver for me and the wife and i use the hs850 bluetooth. Modified my volume levels on my BT head set and my phone. Its louder now. I forgot. When using mobile phone tools have it Autosync the phone on startup That works all the time |
|
Been there, done it all... MPT, wont "see" my phone. Keeps going through the cycle of needing a "modem". |
|
|
I have the Razr and this was my shocking realization upon plugging the USB into the computer. Wierd but true, you need to buy Phone Tools. |
|
|
Well, it WAS working. Was in the middle of transferring a pic to my PC, when it "lost connection" with the phone and now it wont initialize anymore... God I love technology
|
|
OK, it looses connection when transferring files.. well fuck.. This IS the reason I wanted to do this
|
|
try a different cable or usb port? |
|
|
I have...... OY!!!! I can upload to the phone, just can download from it.. Get the error "The communication link has been broken by the phone" |
||
|
That's fucked up tight there. If it makes you feel any better I haven't gotten mine to work through the Bluetooth connection yet. SBG |

My razr was a pain in the ass to get to work with MPT initially, I had to power the phone on and off completely with it connected to get it to sync initially. Strangely enough, after about two or three updates of the software it started working perfectly, and has never had another problem. Those 50MB updates for MPT are a real pain though, that software always seems to need a new version...
|
|
I cant update I guess....I pirated my MPT. |
|
|
So did I, still updates fine though. |
||
|
Maybe the version I downloded wasnt complete... Wanna send me yours? |
|||
|
Is that the CDMA RAZR? If so, they have a driver patch ofr that issue. |
|
Ummm, Arnt they all? |
|
|
That worked.. Now lets see if I get any other issues... Thanks. |
|
|
Nope, in fact the first ones were GSM. |
||
|
Maybe if you quit holding your phone out in the rain, it might work better. j/k-glad to know you got it working now. |
|
|
My winders were up masa.... |

|
How about down my pants? |
|
|
you screwed around with that software to post that great picture?
