Computer recognizes a motorola phone when I plug cable in. Phone tries to recognize where to download but comes back with (cannot find a device to move pics too) Am I missing some software and if so where would I find it? Thanks for any help you can give me. Dick
It must be the original. I can't find any thing on any of my literature but V3. I bought a plan and the phone which is refurbished thru Pure Talk. I believe AT&T is the provider
The original V3 does not support dragging & dropping files through the file explorer in Windows like the newer models. You will need to install Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools (MPT). Its sold through http://www.avanquest.com/USA/softwa...ion-tools-network-tools&sub=fax-telephony-sms If you search around the internet you can usually find a discount code for checkout.
You could always e-mail the pictures to yourself from the phone. Simply create a new picture message and put your e-mail address in where you would normally put a phone number.
I have found that does not always work right. Sometimes the carrier's servers resized the photo. Its worth a try though.
Found a program (MOBILedit4) that seems to be working fine. It did allow me to drag and drop Files. Its a free download for 30 days than a onetime charge of $25. Thanks for all your help Jay I really appreciated you pointing me in the right locations. Thanks Again Dick
Yeah, my experience is somewhere in the process the photo ends up resized, and highly compressed. It ends up that unless you're looking for a thumbnail size image, it just looks awful on a computer. Data cable or Bluetooth are the only way to get it off the phone without changing the original file.
