ok,,
i got a motorola razor from the company a couple weeks ago.
Its got so may features ill never use but anyway. I gotta go do a survey down in Bothane Alabama next week and i thought,
humm,,, maybe ill just figure out how to get pictures off this phone and usb cable them to my laptop.
Meaning,,, one less piece of equipment to carry around (no camera that is)
well,, after digging through the 3/4'' manual and quick user guide,, there seems to be no way to just simply take a picture and get it on your laptop. You must be within cell service range to even activate this bluetooth and even at that, it costs money to do so and im figuring its gonna be a pita.
just ranting but does anyone know of a driver i could load so my phone can commo with my laptop and download pics?
what a waste of engineering,,, pos razor.
I have the same phone and the only way to get them off the phone is by purchasing the USB 1.1 to 2.0 cable, $75 in a cell store. Something like $40+ on eBay.
And it has to be the Motorola cable, I tried a noname one with the right software/program and no such luck.
thats all i need is a cable,,? i can expense that.
no software?
My fiance just got rid of her Razr a couple weeks ago. She was having the "known" battery issue.
Where the 'ell is Bothane? I lived in Alabama most of my life and I have never heard of it.
It comes with the software. Which model is the phone?
who is your carrer. and all you need is a usb-a to mini-usb. Then the motorola drives from motorola. and p2kcommander. then just navigate to the proper folder. and bam, you have picutres on the PC from the Phone.
i HATE razors, not only that, they are a pain to get music on, they BREAK so easily, they are better now but they still suck. i got a samsung u 740 and i love this thing!! plus its got a memory card slot
I got the Slvr and I love it. Even with the verizon UI it is really easy to work around it. If you need any help just PM me.
I was never so disappointed as when I got my camera phone (Samsung something-or-other) and discovered that not only are the pics really, really py quality, but that I needed to send them to an online server and download them from there to get them onto my PC. Each time I do this counts as one of my text messages. Luckily I never send text messages, but the cheap-ass package I got only includes 25 free messages per month. That means that if I take 26 pictures I have to pay extra to download one of 'em.
FVCK THAT.
My contract expires this coming March, and I won't be renewing it or getting any other plan. I'll be getting a "pay-as-you-go" phone and buying maybe 30 minutes a month, which is still more than I ever use...
model number is
MotoRazr V3xx
At&t service,, not sure on plan cause i dont get the bill.
1.3mega pixel camera
and some other whistles and bells.
sorry i was typing too fast earlier,,, its Dothan al.
You've got a long drive ahead of you.
If you need the Razr's camera for anything but throwaway pics, use a real digital camera. Digi-cam photos suck.
i use BitPim for my LG VX9800, but you should be able to use Motorola Mobile Phone Tools. i use a cheap ebay usb cable, too.
http://www.howardforums.com is a great source for cell phone hacks.
You'll need a standard USB A to A mini to connect to your computer. As for software you'll need the Motorola Phone tools software (preferably version 4 or better). You can pick it up at Cell phone store, Ebay, or you could "torrent" it for free... But you didn't get that last idea from me ;) :evilgrin: ;) !
*Edit*
I's fersgots, you'll also need the P2k driver, just google it and you'll find it.
Man I almost bought that phone, glad i didn't. I read reviews of the V3xx and how it was the razor of all razors and how they got it right finally.
How you like At&t? I was thinking of switching to a family talk rollover plan..
Ah. Makes sense now. I know where that is. My grandpappy used to live there before he passed. Actually he lived in Newton but no one knows of that place. And yes you have a nice little haul ahead of you.
i dont like or dislike any service as long as i have dial tone where i think i should.
Sprint has a better coverage area over here on the east coast than att but thats my opinion. when you get dial tone in gap mills wv ,, thats doing something and sprint seems to be able to do that.
as for the phone,, i dont really care about resolution,, i just need pics so i can do my survey,, pull up a pic and use the pic to help me type up the quote.,, thats all.
i need a straight answer here on this,
I need a usb (mini to flat , laptop is the big flat ones x 6 ports
and
a driver
and software?
or did i miss something.
if anyone can talk me through this id appreciate it otherwise, im just gonna tote my digi camera all the fuggggginnng time.
You need the cable that connects to you digi camera. Then just download Moble Phone Tools. (yours should be able to do anything with it being that it isn't a verizon UI).
Modmymoto.com has a guide to help you connect your phone, and a plus is that it is all free stuff too.
Here is the link http://www.modmymoto.com/guides/v3x/
I have a motorola dunno what model, its alot newer, not the Krazr but I just bluetooth it to my laptop, but then again I have a brand new HP laptop with Bluetooth added on. SO I can send stuff to my phone too.
If you have a verizon UI that is almost impossible to do.
Lol Verizon blows for Bluetooth and data transfer, it's something that they are actually getting sued for in Cali I believe. Anyhow, I ssecond BitPim, use it on my LG VX8600. It'll work for Razr's too I believe. But the Motorola Software seems pretty good from what a guy at work was telling me.

im going to the link you mentioned,, i have a mini to flat usb that came with the wifes digi camera,, im gonna try that cable out and see if it works.
Yes, i know ive been told to use a moto cable but ill buy one later today.
dude, i went to that link,,, subscribed,, downloaded the file and it does not work.
now,,
when i went to download i had two options,,,,
Open or Save
it was a zip file so i Opened it (windows put it in a temp folder)
I ran it from there and installed.
It did not install like the instructions said it would. The driver landed in my c:dell/drivers folder
but......
the instructions clearly showed that i should shove it in my programfiles/win32
i was unable to put it there no matter what.
sucked ass to tell you the truth.
im still stuck.
meanwhile i looked over the download description and no where did it mention things like "pictures""transfering them to your computer" ect ect. All it described was some bla bla bla about some other stuff i know nothing about ,, confusing.
are you sure you pointed me to the correct link? there were two other versions of the download and i just picked the most recent. maybe the versions are very different and totally unrelated. I downloaded 2.0 or whatever whas the latest and greatest.
if you have a wi-fi connection, maybe you coul just email the pics to yourself??? that's what i do sometimes.
I have a zip file with everything you should need, if you have messenger add me and I will send it to you.

Start with this:
http://motomodders.net/Portals/0/UserFiles/User11/Motorola_Drivers_29.rar
When you plug your phone in it should ask for the driver, point it to what you've extracted out of that file.
Then root around torrent sites for Motorola Phone tools.
i cant be downloading something on my company computer that isnt safe,, not to say that isnt safe but,, our IT guys are stuck on how to do this as well. We have about 5 over worked under paid IT folks and i feel guilty calling for petty stuff.
i dont even know what torrent means.
anyway, ill go back and see if i can make this driver work.
xr7cat,,
email that to me at jcassity@alpha.com please.
Fair enough, just figured i'd try and help as i've done this myself before.
i just dont want to get in some sort of spot light being the new guy with the company and all.
its obvious id have to download that stuff to the company laptop as it will be the point where i want these pics to reside.
jcassity,
I will send you the proper drivers for you phone, and do a little write up on how to install em for ya. you should be receiving an email Sunday night some time due to the fact that I am out of town at the moment.
I will help you get connected, don't worry.
Also if you can buy software, I would purchase Mobil Phone Tools for the Motorola website. It should work with your phone being that it isn't verizon.
Sorry for the long post. :)
