Motorola V220 USB Data Cabel Software

First of all, thanks to you all for the instructions. I've installed it before and it had worked perfectly.

I've formatted my pc a while ago so I installed it again but this time I got a "Unhandled Exeption"-error which was shown at the last part of the setup's "mmpt_1.23c_EN"
See pic !

So the setup terminated and nothing was installed, I tried other setups on the site but none of them worked...

Anyone has a clue how to fix this error?
Thanks a bunch

thanx alot, MVa100

 

Does nobody read the actual thread before posting questions? Cos most of the questions posted within the past week, have been answered many, many times before. I'm sorry for ranting but i wish people would take the time to read the thread before posting questions that are answered within the first few pages.

vlwilson -
The links and instructions to installation can be found below this post in my signature, click on the blue web address and it will take you straight to that link,

Habibi,
Did you use my download links and use the 1.23 version? You will have to go in to a bit more detail, if i am to help you. Did you follow the instructions closely?
And by duplicating, do you mean downloaded? You can do it by downloading all the files first, before starting to install the software.
Also which OS do you use?

BBoy4Joy,
Sorry that is one thing i have not mastered myself yet.
I'm not all that into games so i'm afraid have not come across the need to find out how to do it.
Maybe someone else knows, try looking through the other threads - click on Forums on the blue tabs (along the top of the page). Some one else may have asked that questions in another thread.
However, you could try unzipping them to see if there are any more files hidden inside and look for a installation application file.

sugalove,
You obviously have not read the instructions properly. When you get this 'ERROR' dialouge box, when the installation of the 1.23v is nearly complete, all you need to do is hit CNTL+ALT+DEL and end the task through the task manager. This will prevent the set-up from terminating and uninstalling.

And last but not least

I sorry but i couldn't get my other software applications to work properly so i couldn't find out whether you can delete the original ringtones from the phone.
Try looking through the other threads, they might have some answers.

Hope this helps everyone

 

hi i just signed in just know so im a noooob ummmm i dnt wanna sound stupid but ive been too add hardware it found my v220 thats fine wat do i do from here thanks

 

There are instructions and download links in my signature, below this post.

Click on the link for *****HOW TO INSTALL MOBILE PHONE TOOLS*****, it gives you simple instructions on how to install MPT from the beginning and tells you where and what to download. Follow these carefully and it will work with no problems.

 

i've downloaded everything i need: MPT v1.23, MPT v2.21 and the
P2K Driver. When I try to install the v1.23 it takes ages to detect and setup my phone, ages as in 5+ hours. in the end I couldn't be bothered any more. So then I try the Mpt v2.21- (cause when I bought my phone they had a Mobile PhoneTools cd, it just wouldn't work) it looks like it's fine. I get to the part where i can see the screen split into two, where one side is my computer and the other is my phone... but then the my phone part is empty. when i try to send something to my phone it says phone is disconnected or whatever. i've already checked that i've plugged it in properly and im using the P2K driver but it still doesn't work. No matter how many times i try to install the v1.23 the error message thing won't come up. Could someone please help me? Thanks in advance.

I know how you feel about people not reading the entire thread, no matter how long! What they don't understand is just how much valuable info is contained there.

Anyway....I have an issue that can't seem to be resolved.
I have 2 Motorola V220 phones, both ordered at the same time. On 2 different computers only 1 of them will be detected properly. It is the same phone every time, the other just won't work. It obviously isn't something "simple" related to software. Both phones are using the 5-pin USB cable. Do you have any ideas as to what may be going on here???

Thanks!

Hills,

If the error msg doesn't not come up, it is not bad, it's good!! I only included that in the instructions just incase it did happen.
And if the drivers and everything is set up correctly then it should work okay.
I have re-edited my **HOW TO....*** thread. Take another look at it, it may help you.

You see, you do not need to use v1.23 to install and setup your device on, in fact you do not even need to go into that version at all.
Do not let the application start, cancel it and install the v2.16 update. This way you can use the v2.16 to install and setup your device on. Then when that is done, use the Live Update to install up to, probably about v3.25, that's what i am currently on - through using the Live Update option.

Try it this way and let me know what happens.

Nucleus,

Are you sure you have your drivers installed properly?
How did you get the software? Did you download it or get it from a CD?
And are both computers running on the same OS? You will have to give me a few more details for me to be able to help.

Have you read the **HOW TO....** thread? The link is in my signature below. This may give you a few pointers.

Hope this helps, a bit at least!!

I've read plenty. Downloads from your sig using MPT 3.23. Like I said, it works...but, with only 1 of the 2 phones. The one phone will work on either computer (XP pro and home). It's the 2nd phone that won't be recognized at all making me think it must be something in the phone?

 

thank you gem20. i'll try installing everything again. hopefully this time it'll work.

 

do you know how to get the pictures that are on your phone on to your computer.

 

I have a v266 which can be used under a v265 in Phone Tools 3 but I cannot get the multimedia center working. I have everything else but it working great. I dont have the option anywhere in the program.
I've tried it in Phone tools 1.23, 2, and 3 without any luck. Any ideas?
Oh, BTW I have read just about every post in this forum trying to figure it out but everybody has a little different problem.
*****************************************************************
Problem fixed................
If you have a v266 choose v256m on the list of phones......trial and error..
as said in many of the threads, please read the pages before asking your question. I read all 87 pages of this topic and got all the info I needed for the programs to general advice.

 

why are the websites in spanish. I don't know what to click on. some one please help me.

 

Read the thread called .*****HOW TO INSTALL MOBILE PHONE TOOLS****

It has all the instructions and links (in English!) to download the files.

Before anyone thinks about posting a question, please read, at least, some of the pages of the thread, not just the first few, try reading the most recent past few pages of posts; because more often than not the question you are about to ask, has usually been answered at least ten times before.
Granted, a few are geniune questions that regard unusual problems or errors, but the majority are from people who have just typed 'Mobile Phone Tools' into their search tool and then post their question without even reading any of the previos pages.

Also the thread is actualy called 'Motorola V220 USB Data Cabel Software', and this is what the question are supposed to be about.

Please read a little bit before posting tiresome questions.[/bold]

 

OK, I have one main question. When you send ringtones and other files to your phone using MPT, does that connect your phone to the internet. I don't want to get charged for doing something that i thought was free.
Thank if you can answer that.

 

No, it has no need to connect to the internet whilst transferring ringtones or pictures. There is an option on the icon menu (the planet icon) to connect to the web if you want, but apart from that the only time you connect is when you do a Live Update!

Hope that answers your query.

Do you have any idea what could be happening with my problem? (post from 9/28)

 

OK. Now I want to know exactly how to put games on my phone. I read some of the threads posted earlier, but none of them worked for me. If someone knows how to put games on the v220, can you please post the steps of how to do it.
