Razr Connect to USB

[crazylegs_9 0]

I want to connect my new phone to my laptop to download pictures off it, It says I need to install the hardware to use it, and the phone did not come with a cd or anything. Does anyone know what I can do to get it to work?

Or go buy a Bluetooth dohicky at Wal Mart for $30. You better bring your A-Game tomorrow night. We got two ringers for a couple games.

I've tried plugging in RZRs to my laptop as well.. same deal.. but my KRZR works just fine.

Which model Razr do you have? I have the V3i which has an additional MicroSD slot. If I take pictures and store it on my phone's flash memory, I have to lug out my USB cable and deal with a program called "Motorola Phone Tools (MPT)." It's such a hassle to do that because it's slow.

I save all my pictures onto my MicroSD instead so all I have to do is power down my phone, take out the memory card and using either a USB or SD adapter, plug it into my laptop. Drag and drop from there. Hope this helps.

Mine just plugged in and it recognized it as a USB drive. But I also installed Motorola Phone Tools. PM me and I can get you my copy...I think, if I can find it.

Bluetooth is easiest, assuming you have a Bluetooth computer.

You have to purchase Mobile Phone Tools... or "find" a way to get it ;)

Not sure which Razr you have but for the V3i I had to update MPT like 50 times before it would recognize my phone. It's the stupidest update software EVER! Ex. You can't update from 1.0 to 1.5, you have to update in steps... 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5.
