ok i downloaded the bitpim but cant seem to find a driver any clue on where to find that? it seems like everyone on the forums is having a hard time finding it too

 

ok i think i got it

 

ok well i downloaded the software that comes with the wires when you buy it from alltel and its not recognizing my phone....

 

Have you tried here.

 

I use Motorola Phone Tools on the same phone you have and it works great. The two features I like best are txt messaging using your computer and editing mp3s for ringtones. It's not difficult to find.

 

ok well i have motorola phone tools but it doesnt recognize my phone, but when i plug it into my computer it pops up as new hardware found "motorola v3c" so maybe its the software i downloaded off of limewire, is there a way you could email me the software that is on that disc?

ok so i got the driver installed and the motorola phone tools is still not seeing my phone...

 

I've done this with my Verizon Razr V3C. Its very finicky to say the least. Must use the exact same USB port every time. Bitpim is great software. Didnt attempt to use MPT. The USB driver is a modem driver that allows the COM port to access the phone's functions. You can tell that its working when you plug your Razr into the USB port and the phone says "charging". Also allows you to access the web via wireless modem dialing. Not that you want to cuz its so damn slow but you could. Bitpim will allow you to access photos, address book, and ring tones on the Razr. I had to do a seem edit in order to upload mp3s to my phone for ringtones. works great after fooling around with it. Try Howards forums or http://www.hacktherazr.com/guide.seem.edit.html for more info.

I use a Bluetooth adapter to get the pics off my Razr. The software that comes with the adapter is capable of linking it with no additional software.

ok well i downloaded the driver from here

http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto...sNplugins.asp#

then downloaded microsoft phone tool from limewire

then also downloaded bitpim from thier website

and now my problem is i can not get any of the programs to recognise the phone, even though my computer recognizes it as new hardware and trys to install the software but cant find it or something like that

do i have to change any settings on the phone?

also my phone doesnt say its charging while connected

 

You need a legit copy of Motorola Phone Tools. I probably downloaded about 10 before I found one that worked. Once you have a good copy you need to update it and you shouldn't have any trouble with it. Mine works like a charm.

 

When your computer finds it as new hardware it's basically trying to set it up as a modem. It's been over a year since I installed MPTs. I know I had to install one driver but I can't find it right now. I'll keep looking.

 

Don't need MPT if you get a Bluetooth adapter.
