I have TWO GENUINE Motorola SELLphone headsets, count 'em up...TWO.....not
20, TWO!

I also have an Alltel MotoROKR Z6m with the Dumbware 0.0.1 alpha Build
3.2500.8 operating system.....

Dumbware 0.0.1a Build 3.2500.8 is incapable of understanding that I have
TWO, count 'em up.....TWO.....not 20, TWO GENUINE Motorola headsets:
H300 earpiece
S9 stereo headset with BOTH handsfree and R2D2-C3PO superstereo profiles.

UNFORTUNATELY, it seems, Dumbware 0.0.1a Build 3.2500.8 can only assign ONE
of these TWO headsets as the DAMNED PHONE HEADSET at a time.

When one has TWO, not 20 but TWO, GENUINE Motorola devices paired but only
ONE of these devices actually ON, Dumbware 0.0.1a Build 3.2500.8 stubbornly
says THIS headphone, the only one that's ON and RUNNING and PAIRED with it,
EVEN THOUGH IT IS A GENUINE MOTOROLA HANDSFREE BLUETOOTH HEADSET, CAN'T
POSSIBLY be the DAMNED PHONE HEADSET because it is only capable of thinking
the OTHER headset (H300), the one that's NOT ON AND NOT RUNNING is the
DAMNED PHONE HEADSET.

I had to UNINSTALL the pairing with the H300, which was NEVER ON THIS
MONTH, before Dumbware 0.0.1a Build 3.2500.8 would connect the DAMNED PHONE
HEADSET profile to the S9's DAMNED PHONE HEADSET profile.

What stupid a.s writes this shitcode? What planet is he on? Does Motorola
pay him or is he some kind of volunteer programmer from the middle school??

Damn this phone is DUMB!

No, no, they'll never FIX the code....But, I found something VERY
interesting in Music Player's stupid music search utility....shitcode
4.2 ....

I store my MP3 files on several terabytes with the filename format:
Glenn Miller - In The Mood.mp3
for all of them so DOSXP can sort them WITHOUT resorting to spending
hours and hours looking at ID3 tags opening files, which is absurd.

Shitware 4.2 Z6m's Music Player is incapable, or so I thought, of
FINDING these files, because if you plug the microSD beast back into it
and tell Music Player to SEARCH for music, it finds NOTHING on the card,
no matter where you put it in this format......until today!

Just to see if the filename.mp3 was the problem, I changed ONE Jimmy
Buffett song to JBSailor.mp3 even DOS 1.1 can read, then reinserted it
into the upside down microSD slot some drunk put in backwards.

VOILA! Once prodded with just ONE file in DOS 1.x filename format,
shitware 4.2 suddenly discovered ALL THE FILES in my standard format
with spaces and - in it. The whole MUSIC directory was discovered and
loaded, saving me hours of renaming (dammit) files so shitware 4.2 could
load them like an old PCXT.

So, if shitware 4.2 in your MOTOPHONE, whatever model, can't find the
files on your microSD card.....try changing just ONE file to DOS format
filename.mp3 and see if the stupid music player doesn't find them all.

If this has already been discovered and posted by someone else, I'm
sorry for the repost, but I've never seen it anywhere.

Carolina Beach Music on Bluetooth Radio for 30 feet! We're going to
need a bigger 2400 Mhz transmitter!....(c;

Sure wish the damned thing would let me play music with Music Player
from ONLY THE EXTERNAL MEMORY CARD, STUPID MOTOROLA! Maybe the NEW
owners will hire some coders who actually listen to MP3 music on
PORTABLE devices!....(sigh)
