If you bought it from Cingular it is either a regular V3 or it is a V3i. The V3m is a CDMA model and Cingular doesn't use them. I'm guessing it is a regular V3. Check on the white label under the battery. It will say what model it is. -Jay
ok well bak to finding out how to get music onto my v3 razr from cingular which is gsm....i have windows xp sp2 i have microsoft windows media player 10. and all i can get my cpu to do is to charge my phone nothing else i want to b able to get it to download music from my computer onto my phone and listen to them like an ipod and also use them as ringtones ne replys plz post
The V3i has an integrated music player and more memory. The regular V3 only comes with about 5 megs free memory for extra games, ringtones & pictures. If you install anything or use the camera you probably won't be able to fit an mp3 on the phone. Even after you do, the speaker on the regular V3 really doesn't have the ability to nicely reproduce music in any quality that you would want to listen to for more than a minute. -Jay
You need to buy a copy of Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools (MPT). This software will allow you to upload ringtones & pictures to your phone. You can usually buy MPT relatively cheap on Ebay. -Jay
i have 5838 kb of free space on my razr phone.can i still get a ringtone off my computer i have the usb and the WMP10 and my computer detects my phone as a motorola usb. I dont want to waste money on software i already got.Is there another way other than paying for that other software?
also wen i put the usb onto my computer and it is detected and charrging WP10 doesnt recognize my cell phone as a device. and wen i try to sync on my cell phone i have to type in name url username and password how do i find out where the url is and where my username name and pw is?
You got good advice from Jay. Spend 15 bucks on MPT and you will have good software that you can use to download/upload audio/video files, sync/backup your phone book, etc.
Thanks. Yes, there are ways of doing it for free, but you really have to know what you're doing or otherwise you can't use the files as ringtones, or worse yet all of your ringtones will stop working. I personally use MPT for moving ringtones, even though I know other ways, because it is the easiest and most foolproof. -Jay
vincent123, if you already have data-cables for your phone, you can get BitPim for FREE off of the Internet and use it to ul/dl items to your phone. Look at the Motorola RAZR 'sticky' and search on BitPim for some guidance.
I've never used that piece of software. Is it "idiot proofed"? I know MPT doesn't let you screw up your phone by deleting critical files. Does this have the same protections? Thanks, Jay
It will not let you delete a lot of files from the phone. Here is a file on how to install BitPim with screenshots. (right-click, save-as) http://forums.wirelessadvisor.com/a...ersions-v3c-v3m-install-and-setting-up-bitpim
