I spent the whole of Saturday trying to get P2k to recognise my phone it
kept saying not connected and the same with P2ktools (in P2K mode) and it
was only when I exhausted everything (including changing drivers in the
drivers folder) and unloading and reloading the programs that I realised I
didn't load the patches/windows hotfix files did everything spring into
action with those programs. When I loaded those hotfixes then everything was
fine.

Those programs were great. I have changed quite a few settings on the V180.
Before, I wanted to get the date showing on the colour LCD display and there
was no setting in the V180 to display the date - after using one of the
programs (motokit 1.06 I think it was) I managed to remove the Network ID
and the date is there instead, just what I wanted and with P2ktools other
features mode I managed to get all the different flavours of the phones vibe
features and some other features.

One other feature I enabled on the V180 is a feature to play Video clip I
think although I don't have a video clip to try it out (I think its got to
be mp4 isn't it?) although I would say the phone hasn't got enough memory to
play a clip.

So to recap, if people are having trouble going into P2K mode on the
software (and it sounds like a lot of people have had that problem) try
adding the windows hotfix patches and then see if you can connect your phone
then.
