Cellular Phone Forum / Manufacturers / Motorola / March 2004Data Connectivity Problem with V60t (AT&T)....anyone have an idea of how to fix this?
I have a Toshiba Laptop running Windows XP Pro SP-1. I have a Motorola V60(t) phone, and the Data Connectivity Software with Truesync software and a USB data cable. I've installed everything as instructed. I show a Motorola USB modem in the hardware list. If I Query the modem, it responds. Truesync works fine. So here's the problem. I cannot get the phone to dial my ISP. I set up a dial up connection, connect the phone (yes the power is on). When I try to connect, I get the following error (within 3 seconds of hitting Connect: Error 678: Error opening port. The system apparently can't get the phone to dial out. I've tried everything I know. Hopefully someone out there can give me a hint or clue as to where to look to get this thing working. I'm heading on a trip next week, and I really need to get the cell phone working with the laptop for internet access on the road. TIA! Don't dial your ISP - setup the dial string with: *99# This will connect you through AT&T GPRS service. > I have a Toshiba Laptop running Windows XP Pro SP-1.

I'm not even sure the V60(t) is compatible with GPRS service. However, it didn't matter anyway, since nothing go dialed. I got the exact same error. This is incredibly frustrating. The computer detects the modem as soon as I plug the cable into the USB port. The driver checks out, the modem reponds to a diagnostic query, True-sync synchronizes....so I know the connection is good between the computer and the phone is solid. It just won't dial. I've tried opening the phone, leaving it closed. I've tried dialing teh number and hitting send at the same time I select connect. The phone dials, but the computer never shows it trying to make a connection. Anyone else have a clue? >Don't dial your ISP - setup the dial string with: >*99# [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> >> TIA! I came across the very same problem, and I couldn?t get to fix it. Then a friend of mine told me to throw away TrueSync ("obsolete software" were his words) and instead I installed Motorola's "Mobile phone Tools" program. Using my cell phone through GPRS (and all the other options, like editing my agenda, my contact list, my multimedia tasks...) became in a split second a piece of cake ! > Thanks for the attempt, but I got the exact same error.

Whew, glad it didn't! -- ~* Mary *~ > Bingo > > Your phone doesn't speak GSM, It only speaks TDMA. > <snip Which still means you will not be able to do data over your handset. To do data on AT&T WS, you will need to upgrade to a gsm handset. And even still you will have to access the internet only through Death Star Wirelesss, er, AT&T's per byte, walled garden. > Exactly :) I was afraid for a minute there that this was going to get > confusing!

I am quite happy with my V60 Color....just got it about a month ago-AT&T WS tried talking me into getting a GSM phone, but I like what I got...pushy mo' fo's, aren't they? LOL I have plenty of internet access via my new computer-I don't need it with my cell phone.
