Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / June 2006Getting pictures off a RAZR v3c
I just got a v3c. For some reason it's not at all obvious how to actually get pictures off the thing (which is a bit of a shock to me!). There was no computer cable included in the box, though I happen to have a USB-miniUSB cable already. But when I plug it in WinXP can't find a driver for it. The included CD just looks like a flash ad. What am I supposed to do? Surely bluetooth isn't a requirement? > I just got a v3c.

If you phone has a place for a memory card you can save pics to the card and then read the card on your PC. I believe your phone does NOT have this so on to 3. 3. You can use Bluetooth, here's how: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=814351 4. You can use Motorola Phone Tools "MPT" software which can be purchased on Ebay or elsewhere. Don't worry about the version, once installed you can update it online to the latest version. You *may* have to modify the phone to allow connection to your computer. "Out of the box, the Razr V3C may or may not require Seem Edits to use the multimedia features of MPT" Start here: http://www.howardforums.com/ Select the "Verizon" forums and start reading. Here's some other detailed instructions on editing the seem and if it's necessary or not: http://mark.cdmaforums.com/ Select the V3C link on the left side of the page. Hope this helps. > 1. You can email the pics to yourself, there's a charge for this. So the only legit way to get the my own pics off the phone is to pay verizon for the privlege? Wow, what a cheesy move. That's the last time I recommend verizon to anyone. Thanks for the info though! >> 1.

It is not at all obvious that Verizon's phones are crippled so that the user has no ability, out of the box, to utilize the file transfer features in the fully-functional Moto versions. Yes, Verizon is out to scrape every penny it can from your two-year contract by requiring you to use their proprietary services that provide second-rate ringtones. The last that Verizon had anything to say about this practice is that it is for "security" purposes - meaning that Verizon shall remain secure in the knowledge that almost all of their subscribers will pay to play on their phones. If Vz were my company I might do the same, although the competition might force a change in a couple of years. The previous poster pointed you to www.howardforums.com for good reason: the seem editing is very simple, error free - I think that there are prepackaged seems so that you don't actually need to do the bit editing. You can open up some of the native capabilities of the phone very easily so that you are in partial command of the phone you purchased. Q >> 1.

In a way yes you have to pay Ver to use there phone ... i had the same problem with girlfriend phone she whanted ringtones and had to buy them $1.99 a piece till i whent to howard forums and learned how to unlock at least the part to get the pics and upload ringtones and it was very easy to do . But just do yourself a favor...READ and after you do that READ some more and then READ a bit more and then do what you got to do. Remember one wrong move and your phone will be just a expensive paperwheight so again READ. From all the things i have lost with age my brain is the one i miss the ......... ..............What was i saying???? "Legit".....?? Seem edits and MPT are not 'illigit'. (And not hard at all to do) It's kinda fun and a challenge to make the phone do what you need. While I do agree it's a bit cheesy" of Verizon, please keep in mind that first and foremost the cellular NETWORK, should always be your first consideration. The phones themselves and their features are secondary, or should be. That said, if Verizon has the best network in your area, you should still recommend them . And seam edit (if needed), get MPT and your phone will do what you want. >> 1.

I'd use wd40, but being careful to not get anything on the display and keyboard. Seriously: this is why I like the old smart phones: pictures came off/on with the standard features that came with the phone, you didn't have to buy anything extra. I think you need the motorola data cable AND associated software. It is the software that will allow you to query the phone to push/pull pictures to it. dr.

I just got a Verizon Razr 3c; and rather than spendiong my time finding out what it does, I am finding out what Verizon blocked it from doing, and getting madder and madder every day. Anyway, careful reading of Motorola's confusing website will reveal that Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools (which is what I am assuming Dr news is referring to..) will not work with Verizon: IMPORTANT NOTE: This downloadable software is fully supported for Cingular and T-Mobile customers. However, portions of this software's functionality have been disabled for Verizon or Nextel customers, so Motorola Phone Tools will not work fully with phones using those carriers. ***If you are a Verizon customer, all multimedia and internet connection features in this software will be disabled due to carrier request. **** Please contact your service provider for further information. http://motorola.handango.com/entertainment/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=522& jid=X3F752DX783FXBD97FB6F78E45F48DE9&carrierId=2&platformId=6&productType=2&prod uctId=93724 Good luck. rvj > Couldn't resist.

MPT loose the connection to the phone when you try to transfer picture files back. http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=934663 >> http://www.v710.org/mark/V3C-1.htm > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >loose the connection to the phone when you try to transfer picture >files back. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, but in regards to transferring pictures from the phone to my pc utilizing MPT, I am not having any problems. I have the "official 4.0 version" software on my phone and I transfer pictures regularly to and from the phone. I totally concur.... I have no problem BOTH directions. >>> http://www.v710.org/mark/V3C-1.htm >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > having any problems.

Here is what I did: 1. Seem edited 2742/offset 6A/bit 0 set to ON 2. Change the driver for [V3c Rev2] to v3cm by editing the Detect.inf file, so that MPT shows the multimedia icon Now I get the icon, I can send a picture to the phoine, but when I try to get any picture from the phone, I get a message about no-connection with the phone. What am I doing wrong? TIA Bluetooth or USB?? > Then I would appreciate your help as I'm unable to get it to work.
