i don't know why mine doesn't work anymore!!!!

Yes I'm sure it is in the right direction because it won't go in the other way. Yes a laptop, and i'm sure it's not the SD adaptor because I have a regular SD card I got out of an old camera and it gets the same error. My PC will recognize there's a giant card in the camera through USB but I can't move files or anything it's almost like it's a read only camera. ARRRGHHHHH

"7. There should be an alert that pops up. Click "Continue Anyway.""

Have you contacted Verizon Wireless about this problem?!

I haven't had the time to try it yet hopefully Sunday or Monday I will be able to give it a try. I will let you know the results, thanks for all the help.

(c) Is there any way to change the webbrowser home page? I see that there's a favorites tab that I could customize, but I'd like to change the default page itself.

I haven't tried the V3...with the last few phones I had,

1) hit menu, 0;
2) then all 0s for the service code;
3) scroll down to Wap setting;
4) scroll down to Homepage

no, i haven't talked to them about this specific problem... i've already spent countless hours talking to them on how to get the phone to connect to the computer and they pretty much told me i had to spend the $30 for the music essentials pack and that it would work... i'll probably go talk to them sometime, now that i can drive (acl surgury kinda stinks lol)

I followed the sync instructions and installed the drivers and after about 10 minutes of around with cables and plugging and unplugging and all that it finally worked with WMP10. But the whole reason for me putting wma's on there was so I can have some kick butt mp3 ringtones! How the heck do I set that up. or is stupid verizon gonna make me pay for it like the jerks they are...

[thevolslover]

Well I couldn't get my SD reader to work so i just bought a 12-1 reader that requires (yes i said it) no drivers!!!!!!!!!! I kind've wanted one anyway so i didn't have to use a million usb cords. But when it arrives i'll tell you if i get it to work.

It's really fustrating to hear what guys are going through with this phone. Hell, I haven't bought the phone yet!

[Sara419]

I wish that this phone can take iTunes. I wish Verizon made a deal with Apple like Cingular did!

[thevolslover]

yeah they should make a Phano (Nano+Phone) with better battery life. But Is it like this with all of verizon's music phones? Or was verizon just rushed to release this and didn't test their software enough? Well whatever I still like my RAZR it's just a plus for music.

Rytoe,
You can not use the WMAs as ringtones. Their tech service folks had a hard time trying to understand what I was trying to do, too. The bottom line was that Verizon wants you to use their service to transfer and get ringtones. There are ways to use MP3s as ringtones, but that does require the use of other P2K programs to set it up.

Thanks
Dave

Hi everyone, I'm new to the board, and I just recently got the V3m this weekend. I've read the manual and all, but it hasn't been much help with a few of the questions that I have.

- I've read about battery problems involving the Razr, and I'm wondering if anyone's having any problems? I had my phone fully charged, and I used it today, minimally. I sent one text message and made two phone calls, and yet, I'm down to 3 bars right now. Does the battery really drain that fast? I had the Samsung a670 (old, old phone, I know), but my 670 could go well over a day's worth of normal usage and texting without draining out one bar on the battery.

- I tried playing with the 'display themes' option on the phone, but it changes absolutely nothing. What is this function suppose to change/do?

- Is it just my phone or does the date AND time both only show up when the phone is set to ring? I tried switching the phone to vibrate and only the time shows up and not the date.

I'm starting to regret the Razr because I feel like it's been slowly driving me crazy since I got it. Your opinions/thoughts/help are greatly appreciated!

The V3m doesn't play MP3's, only WMA format.

***Hello everybody i just signed up for this forum but i have been around reading all the problems ***

I also ran across the problem with theMotorola RAZR V3m and VCast Music Essentials Kit, The CD they gave me works fine but it seems like it is only has the drivers for the USB Cable, WMP10 if needed and a lame VCast Skin for WMP but no drivers for Phone Itself.

Phone powered Off: I plug in my USB cable to my computer and connect the phone to the cable no problems...go to Device manager and shows i have a Motorola UBS Modem

Phone powered On: I plug in the USB cable to my computer and connect the phone to the cable...IT THEN shows a bubble on my start menu where the time is and says its trying to install Motorola V3c (I have a V3m not a V3c) so i keep gonig with the wizard when it wants to install the drivers but when it comes down to it Windows XP cant find the drivers for the phone. i then go to device manager and it shows the Motorola V3c on the list but with a yellow circle and a question mark to the front


WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG!?!?!?

AM I THE ONLY ONE STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM??

I would complain to Verizon Wireless about this problem. The more I hear about it, the worse it gets.
