I have read mixed posted concerning getting PhoneTools to work with the V3c.
I read that certain drivers might be the issue. Does anyone have a link to the drivers?
I have also heard of webpages that discuss file transfers on Verizon Moto phones. Does anyone know of one?
Thanks in advance.
...
==> First download http://www.bvrp.com/Customers/Motorola/Driver Tool.zip
==> Run the tool with the phone not connected.
==> Once the driver tool is done, then connect the phone via USB. Let MS do its thing in recognizing the "modem"
==> You need the latests Motorola Mobile Phone Tools. If you do not have the latest (3.28 or something) open MPT and get to the point where you have the phone skin pop up. Hit the menu button and run Live Update.
==> Start MPT. Do not plus in you phone until it tells you to (after you select UDB and hit next).
==> Wait for verification and enjoy

Did it work for ya? My spelling sure must have not helped.
...
About to try setting up phonetools. My phone comes in the mail tomorrow. Wanted to get my phonebook ready to transfer early.
...
Hey, thank you sooo much for this info...
Forgive me for asking but does this work? What service do I need on my Razr to be able to hook it up as a modem for my laptop? I don't mind paying for service as long as I know it will work 🙂
Thanks again!
...
If you play by the rules, you need the $59.99 unlimited data plan. And thanks for the driver tool link. 😲
...
Well, I am paying for the unlimited data plan already with my existing phone (which I am getting rid of in lieu of the Razr) so it's a wash... That's good news, Thanks!
btw, if anyone needs it, here's 3.23 of MPT: http://evanzhang.com/mpt323.exe
So I just want to confirm -- there are folks who are accessing the internet on their computers using the Verizon Razr V3C as a USB modem, right?
Thanks again, guys & gals...
...
I am.... Last I checked, I was surfing @ 135 KBPS using the V3C - 1XRTT Coverage.
...
are you using verizon or another carrier, why aren't you utilizing evdo? are you using bluetooth or usb cable? i heard that bluetooth limits your speeds to about 143kbps. i have the new blackeberry 7130e to use as a modem because no one said you could use DUN on the razr. i just need to find out if it will work on mac.
...
Verizon's party line so far is that you can't use DUN on the RAZR. But the V3c driver is available to people who are on this forum and others like it, so I would think if you pay the unlimited broadband data rate, they won't have any problems. I suspect that shortly they will make it formal and offer the option as they do on the 7130e.
I have no idea if DUN works with a MAC, either on the 7130e or the V3c. But I would guess if it works with one, it should with the other.
If you got the 7130e, I don't think you will find it works particularly well with the MAC as a PDA except in tethered mode. With a PC, you get the full BB functionality of push EMail and Outlook synchronization.
...
i went to the site you reccomended for phone tools, but when i go to run it I get an error. is there another site I can goto to find this software?
...
send me an e-mail and I will respond with the download file as an attachment.
My e-mail is: jpyle@alamedanet.net

Thanks Jay, I finally managed to download MPT and update to 3.28.
...
Great, I'm glad I could help. And, thanks for the reply, it's nice to close a thread.
Jay
...
Set everything up today. Works flawlessly. Thanks again.
...
You're welcome...I felt for ya...I had to go to three different forums to figure that one out :-D
...
When my friend transfers the songs using Mobile phone tools, and then he plays the song on his razr its REALLY quiet and you can barely hear it. Whats happening?
...
Check the levels of the song prior to you uploading it. Preview it in MPT before you upload it. All my MP3s play loudly.
...
in order to do this i would have to buy a usb to connect razr to pc right? where do they sell them? and can i do my mp3s with this? how does this program actually work ? is it a program on ur pc? do i have to buy something?
...
Ok, I'm sorry, but you should be more aware of what the basics are before you enter one of these forums. Yes, you need a USB cable. Get one from you camera, from CompUSA, from anyplace that sells USB cables. This is not rocket science......basic USB is USB. With Mobile Phone Tools you link your PC with the Razr V3c. So download MPT and use live update to bring you to Ver. 3.38 Once you are at 3.28 you PC will recognize your phone and you can transfer files back and forth. Contacts from Outlook, Pictures and Sounds.
Good Luck,
Jay
...
thanks, but no need for your smart comments
...
Sorry about that, It's been a long day. I left Munich at Midnight and hit the Southwest just before noon. When you do that, your day is about 36 hours.
Jay
...
i hear ya, i know what a usb is i just havn't experimented with my phone much up until now, i want to make sure i do it right, so all i need is MPT i don't need the driver tool ?
...
I did this while I was in Europe. It seemed almost too simple. I downloaded MPT to my LapTop and when launched went to Live Update and downloaded Ver. 3.28 dated: 7/13/2005
After that it recognized my Verizon Razr V3c and everything worked. Contacts from Outlook, Picture transfer and Sounds.

http://evanzhang.com/mpt323.exe »Download then live update to:
Ver. 3.28 7/13/2005
Really, on second thought, it was just too easy.
Jay
...
Hey thanks for all the help i'm set to go just need to pick up the usb tommorrow. That was easy

Thank you, I setup MPT and was able to comuunicate to V3c. I synchrounized outlook and contacts, however, the multimedia center button in MPT is disabled. Any idea why and how to fix it?

i love you. anybody know of a way to obtain PST? I have looked in all of the 'usual' spots but cannot locate... andrewayers@gmail.com
...
You are not going to find it on any US sites. Try adding .ru or .jp to search Russian or Japonesse site. Most likely you will only find them on a website you can't read. I found a copy...but it took forever.
Sorry..no linky

The question I was replying to was about PST (Phone Service Tools - phone servicing aka hacking tool) not MPT (mobile Phone Tools - consumer synching tool).
MPT is easy to find...even for the unscrupulous. PST...even if you are good...you'll need an hour or so to find that program as it is not available to the public...not even for sale.
Most sites that have it at the ready for a pirate have taken it down. .jp and .ru sites are your only hope for PST.

Did you try www.inetron.com downloads - "PST 711 with patch included now in ZIP format"?
...
OH...I already found a copy for myself on a .jp site. I just wouldn't give the address...there seems to be a huge hush hush about this software.
You can find it, but most people won't tell you where. 😁

The main reason is that if you are not computer savvy enough to be able to find the software...you really shouldn't be attempting to mess with the seems in your phone.
It is like leading a 15 year old to a Ferrari dealer

Followed the instructions in this forum, downloaded PhoneTools, ran live update, selected No Name CDMA phone, since the V3c is not listed and my Outlook Contacts sync'ed perfectly. Thanks for the help

Just got my RAZR from Verizon today. Updated MPT and updated the drivers from BVRP. I was able to update contacts using MPT (via USB) but THE MULTIMEDIA STUDIO ICON WAS "TURNED OFF." I have been trying for a couple of hours to re-update / re-install drivers but no changes.
DID VZW disable this feature? I have read mixed answers on this question.
HOW CAN I UPLOAD PICS and SOUNDS OTHER THAN VIA EMAIL AT THIS POINT???
Advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
