In order to keep the Motorola forum from getting cluttered with new threads regarding questions about the Razr we will now have two sticky threads of the two versions of the Razr, one will be for the GSM versions which inlcudes the v3 & v3i, and the other will be for the CDMA versions v3c & v3m. We will add to these threads as new versions are released.

Please keep discussions in the proper threads or post will be deleted.

I am a t mobil customer, but it only picks up or acknowledges cingular on my v3i... cingular roaming at that... dont care too much about that... im more annoyed about getting a text message after every voicemail that is basically blank and maybe has 2 wierd characters... called tmobil, they say v3i unlocked cant read their voicemail software properly... so ill probly need to mod it... any suggestions? thank you.

Tony E! · 07-22-2006, 2:22 PM

Matt welcome to WA....
and thanks for being one of the few that can follow directions by using the sticky thread..

you're gonna need to do some seem editing to get rid of those chararcters...
read through this tutorial and look for the FAQ, it will look like this:

I keep getting wierd text messages from ^@ and _@ and/or my voicemail indicator is always on. How do I fix this? Adjust seem 0032, offset 02, bit 1. Unfortunately, this will likely cause you to lose manual network selection.

my v3i isnt detected by my computer, i have just the usb cable, it didnt come with software, do i need a certain type of software to detect the phone, or change a setting or something? thanks again for your help.

matt80909 · 07-25-2006, 7:46 AM

Nope, you need a CDMA version to work with Verizon. They are not compatible.

Through USB and BT. Anyone know?

viewfly · 08-06-2006, 1:54 PM

Ok, maybe someone can save me time searching the forums.

Have a V3 Razr (new, 2 months). Soon after I paired it with a Moto BT headset, the END key stops functioning. I unpaired BT, turned BT off, and powered down the Razr. Problem still comes and goes. I don't think it really is related to BT. The END key will not work, even pressing hard and for many seconds.

It's working now, but I'm ready to send it back for replacement. Anyone heard of this END key problem? I don't think it is related to the BT pairing.

Thanks,

Tony E! · 08-06-2006, 4:33 PM

Viewfly, i have not encountered that problem with any of my Razrs, i think you're right, it sounds like a handset glitch to me.

larry david · 08-16-2006, 9:46 AM

I have a razr v3 and received a message from +44444 it sounded exactly like someone I know but they insist it was not them and I have no idea who sent it. This has caused me some problems

How can you track who sent a message and how do you send an anonymous message?

MotoV3 · 08-16-2006, 5:23 PM

Does anyone know where to go to change the WAP setting for Internet Browser on the V3 Razr ??? Please help me out, thx alot

Hey all:

I have an unlocked RAZR that I am using with my T-Mobile SIM card (the display says I am on a Cingular network, but I am in California).

Problem: whenever I call in to my voicemail, I get this text message that contains two characters of gobbledy-guk. Any ideas on how to make it stop doing that?

Thanks in advance!

ctguy · 08-20-2006, 3:46 PM

hello, I just got the unlocked v3i (my service is T-Mobil), can someone help me out with MMS setting? first I tried t-mobil OTA configurator (http://tmobileus.wdsglobal.com/phonefirst) did not work, so I entered it manually into the phone so now I can send out picture but can not receive it. also I can not send out text mesages. Can any body help me out? thanks.

To fix the VM indicator you need to modify a bit in the phone's OS. THis is the bit that needs to be changed:

To fix the VM you need to change the following bit in your phone's OS:

SEEM 0032_0001 offset 02 bit 1 = 1 (on)

You will loose manual network selection, but your VM indicator will function properly and you will not have that annoying "line 1" indicator at the top of your phone's screen either.

To fix the network name issue you need to install a newer version of a file called plmn_text_table.bin on your phone. In California TMO bought the old CIngular network. You phone was obviously made before this happened.

Either one of these mods will void your warranty, and if not done right may render your phone useless. Your choices are to either push boldly ahead, find someone in your area with experience to help you, or just live with the quirks.

Obviously I am new here. I am too busy to search for the answer to my question so I don't know if it's posted here or not. I use GMail and and I desperately want to use MEdiaNet (I'm on Cingular) to access my email account. Needless to say, I can't. It always states that the page cannot be displayed. I looked through GMail's help files and they suggest that I take it up with Motorola itself. Any ideas guys? Upgrade the firmware maybe? Can that even be done?

Try going to wap.gmail.com on your phone. If this doesn't work then I don't think you will be able to access it on a mobile phone.

Hello

I'm new to these forums. I want to move pictures from my V3 to my PC but I can't seem to get it to work correctly.

I have the USB cable with the appropriate connections and I have tried to install MPT but it will not detect my phone at all. XP recognizes some sort of USB device when it is connected but MPT doesnt see anything.

If windows is not seeing your V3 as a "Motorola USB Modem" then you do not have the drivers installed correctly.

It is possible, you will need to unlock the phone from CIngular first though.
